AN: HAPPY AKUDEKU DAY!

I don't own the characters, just the story. Characters belong to Square Enix.


I sighed. It had been a long day. First school, then working at the day care. My muscles ached, my brain overworked and exhausted. And of course Demyx has decided against answering his phone, so I'll have to wait for the bus. Again. For the third time this week. Demyx ought to know winter was settling in on us. There was snow on the ground. The bus was not only late, but about 15° colder than the outside air and had I known, I'd've overlooked it. But here I was, on the overcrowded bus back to my shared apartment with Demyx. "That blonde better have started dinner." I muttered, pulling the stretched line. The bus screeched to a stop. Hastily, I was pushed off. Relief overwhelmed me as I started on the short walk home. The wind had died down, leaving behind the sweet smell of winter, the few remaining cherry blossom trees, and the dozen bake shops that crowded our small block. My feet crunched up the five snow-covered steps and unlocked the front door. Hot air wrapped itself around me as I brushed and stomped my snow covered feet on the carpet before mounting the stairs. Our building was so old it didn't even have an elevator, and I was glad we lived on the second floor and not the fifth. Moving would be hard. As I approached our apartment, I heard the all too familiar noise of a bass thudding, denoting Demyx being home. Sighing, I walked to the door and turned it slowly. "Demyx! Did you think of starting dinner at all?" I yelled, compensating for the bass. In my entrance I'd turned away from the kitchen to put down my stuff. Good thing, too. After not hearing a response I sighed, turned, and gasped, covering my eyes. "Axel! Demyx! What the hell are you doing!" The sight greeting my eyes wasn't overly pleasant. Demyx was tied to one of our kitchen chairs and Axel was perched over him, clad in nothing but a tie. My best tie, actually. To top it all off, the two were both completely naked. I turned back around and grabbed my stuff. "I'm going to Riku's."

"Come on, Sor! Wanna join us?" Axel called after me, laughter sitting on the edge of his voice.

"Piss off, Axel!" I shouted before slamming the door.
