A/N: This story has nothing to do with Cloverfield, but that's where the title came from. So, it'll be a bunch of different pairings. Onesided AkuZeku, Onesided Zemyx, Onesided DemAku. It'll eventually be AkuRoku, Zemyx, and a side of MarVex. Also, this is the Prologue.

It was raining again.
Actually, that was an understatement.
It was pouring. Axel could have sworn the water that was pelting down on him so hard was hail, even though he knew better.
Oh well... his clothes needed washing. It wasn't like there were any public showers he could get into... and he didn't have money for a laundromat either. That left his loose, green shirt and baggy pants, his only possessions, quite... disgusting and, in simplest terms of the word, stinky.
The redhead knew that his luck, just like the cold rainwater, was spiraling down into the gutters.
He snapped out of his thoughts when the rain stopped trying to put holes in him. Glancing up at the disturbance, he was shocked to see a person. The other had no umbrella, and was instead standing so that the rain would hit him instead of Axel.
The man's lips split into a large grin. He didn't look like he was more than twenty, probably already in college.
"Hey there. Wanna crash at my place?"
Axel blinked at him, an intrigued expression forming on his face. "But...", he began slowly, only to be cut off by the blond.
"No buts. Come on."
The redhead smiled and took the other's hand, which had been offered to him when he had been inturrupted. Instead of just another random person, the mulleted man seemed more like an angel.
Maybe his luck was getting better.
