A/N: Okay so this is my first story that I've posted on here. And one of the first fanfics I've ever written. I know it's a little sloppy but I like it, and hopefully it'll turn out decent enough. I hope you guys like it, and I'm not going to hound you all for reviews. Even if they would make my day. Okay that's the last time I'm going to mention it. Well, enjoy!
Disclaimer: No matter how much I, or any one else, would like, they don't belong to me.
Chapter 1
Axel groaned and pulled his blanket further over her head. When the song didn't stop blasting through the tiny room, he rolled over and reached a hand out. Cursing under his breath he grabbed the phone off of his night stand.
"What the hell, Dem?" he didn't have to look to know who was calling; Demyx was the only one who ever called him.
"Hey, sleepyhead!" A cheerful Demyx responded. Axel growled at the loud noise; his head was splitting.
"Aww, does sleepyhead have a hangover?"
"You're too loud, jackass."
"You should have listened to me when I told you not to drink that much." He laughed, "And now you'll have to make up all that work you missed today."
Aw shit. Axel had forgotten all about school.
Demyx must have heard him groan because he laughed again and said, "That's what you get for partying on a school night."
"Asshole."
"Yep! Hey I'm coming over later. I got something interesting to tell you," he said tauntingly.
"Why can't you just tell me now?" He ran a hand over his face; Demyx's voice was not helping his headache.
"Aw you don't want to see me? Do you not love me anymore?"
Axel grumbled something under his breath.
"Great! I'll be there after school! See you then, sexy!"
Axel dropped the phone onto the bed as Demyx hung up. He rolled over, curling up in a ball beneath the blanket. He really shouldn't have drank that much. At the time it sounded like a good idea but now he was seriously regretting it.
After a few minutes of lying like that he reached back behind him and groped around for his phone. Finding it he flipped it open, one in the afternoon. He sighed and closed the phone again. School wouldn't be out for another hour or so and Axel didn't have to be at work until five.
He sighed louder this time before hauling himself out of bed. Cursing loudly as his head pounded when the sun light streamed into his eyes through the window. He slammed the black curtains shut, effectively shutting out the light.
He stumbled to the small bathroom, relieved himself, then rummaged through the cabinet until he found the bottle of Tylenol. Swallowing two he walked back to his bedroom and collapsed onto his bed pulling the blanket back over him as he tried to fall back to sleep.
"Axey!!" Axel's eyes shot open as Demyx sat down on top of him. "Time to wake up!"
"Get the fuck off me," Axel mumbled, pushing at Demyx, who pouted and slid onto the mattress.
Axel sat up in bed and stretched, yawning widely. His head felt better than when he had woken up before, but only slightly.
"What do you want?"
"Besides to see your beautiful face?"
When Axel cast him a glare he grinned, "Okay fine. I'll get to the point," he rolled his eyes. "We have two new students in our class, twins actually!"
"Okay, so?"
"So!? Oh my god Axel, these guys are absolutely gorgeous! And to make things even better their both gay!" He said happily.
"And how do you know that?" Axel was beginning to get tired of this conversation.
"I've got an impeccable gaydar, remember?" Demyx tapped the side of his head.
"Right…" Axel watched him with an increasingly annoying look.
"Anyway! I just wanted you to know that we can both have one! It's been so long since I've had a boyfriend."
"Okay, first all, people aren't possessions. Second, have you even talked to these people, because I mean, they might be taken already. And three, I'm not gay!"
Ever since they had met their freshmen year Demyx had been convinced that Axel was gay. He claimed that his "gaydar" was never wrong. Sure Axel had never really felt attracted to women but he wasn't attracted to men either.
"Sure… tell that to the guy you made out with last night."
"Shut the hell up," he smacked Demyx on the back of the head as he grimaced inwardly. He couldn't remember what had happened last night but he did know that whenever he got drunk he tended to kiss any and everyone.
"Fine if you don't want one then I'll just take both." This earned him another smack to the head.
"Don't you listen?"
Demyx grinned, then got up claiming that if he didn't get home soon his mom would kill him.
After the door shut behind him Axel collapsed back onto the bed with a sigh.
Roxas slouched against the wall beside the door as Sora dug around in his pockets for his keys. His back pack was slung haphazardly over his shoulder and his hair looked messier than usual. His head throbbed dully as he tried to keep up with Sora's constant chattering.
When his twin finally managed to open the door he went inside and kicked off his shoes, rubbing his eyes as he did so. Right now he wanted nothing more than to curl up in bed and go to sleep. It seemed like that's all he ever wanted to do lately.
"You okay, Rox?"
"Hmm… Oh yeah, I'm fine," he plastered a smile on his face. But Sora could see through it.
"Oh come on, don't give me that," he said as he pushed back his brothers bangs and pressed their foreheads together.
"Well you don't have a fever…" he pulled away; Roxas could still see he was worried. He scowled at his brothers concern, he knew Sora was just trying to look out for him but at the moment he wasn't in the mood to deal with his brothers over protectiveness. "You're tired, aren't you?"
Roxas looked away then nodded a scowl still on his face. Ever since their parents has told them that they planned on getting a divorce and they were sending them to live with their older brother until they sorted things out, Roxas was always tired. Even after getting a full night sleep. Roxas guessed that it was due to the stress of everything, like some kind of defense mechanism. If you're not awake than you can't think about all of the bad things that are happening. At least that was what he guessed.
"It was a long day," he said. And it had been. For their entire lives they had lived on Destiny Island, they had known all of the kids at school since they were little. For the first time, the twins were the new kids in school, and it had taken a toll on Roxas.
Sora had always been the more outgoing of the two, Roxas was shy and timid around people he didn't know well and he got tense anytime someone new spoke to him. So after spending all day at a new school filled with new people Roxas was exhausted.
"Yeah, it's exhausting having all those girls all over you all day." Sora laughed, trying to lighten the mood.
"Hmph," it seemed like him and Sora were the new idols of the school. They both had had girls following them and flirting with them all day. Too bad they didn't know that both of them were gay.
They made their way through the apartment; Sora darted into the kitchen as Roxas went into the living room. Cloud and his girlfriend Aerith weren't home from work yet so they were alone.
Roxas lay down on the couch as he heard Sora rummaging around in the cabinets for food. He closed his eyes and tried to make his muscles relax.
He hadn't gotten very far before a heavy weight settled on his belly.
He huffed as the air rushed out of his lungs, "get off'a me, dufus." He pushed at his brother, who slid off of him then moved to sit on the opposite end of the couch.
"You're no fun," he pouted.
Roxas ignored him, choosing to rest his arm over his eyes. He heard as Sora opened a bag of chips and flipped the TV on.
"When are Cloud and Aerith getting home?" Sora asked after a few minutes.
"I don't know, around five I think, depending on if Aerith has to stay at school longer." Aerith worked as a middle school teacher and Cloud was a police officer.
"Ah," they lapsed into silence again.
After a while the brunette sighed, "I miss Riku," he pouted.
Riku was Sora's long time boyfriend. Roxas opened his eyes to see his brother hugging a pillow to his chest, looking dejected.
Roxas sat up and ruffled Sora's already messy hair, "don't worry, he's coming to visit during winter break next month right?" He tried to sound reassuring, even if he was happy with the prospect of seeing Riku. They had never really gotten along, but they had tolerated each other for Sora's sake.
"But that's so far away," he sniffled. Roxas laughed softly and Sora smiled back at him.
"Will you wake me up when dinners ready?" Roxas asked, his head ache was getting worse and he wasn't sure if he could keep his eyes open any longer.
"Sure." He shuffled into the bathroom, not seeing the worried and slightly scared look his brother cast after him.
