Hey everyone! I would like to thank people for the wonderful reviews I have gotten so far. It's really awesome! Keep em comin'!

You know I really should stop doing multiple stories at a time, but I can't help it. Also, I'm sorry for not updating anything for the past few days. I've been kinda depressed and I'm trying to cheer myself up, so if you will please excuse the absence. ^-^

Disclaimers: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, the characters or the bands mentioned.:(

So without further ado, here is an AkuRoku fanfic.

Chapter 1

Roxas walked through the light rain groggily. He was slumped over with his hands in his pockets. The typical teenager. His neon green Skrillex hoodie and tight black skinny jeans were soaked, for he had been walking out in the rain for a long while. He hardly ever looked up through his spiked blonde hair. It was past midnight, most likely around two in the morning. His Vans splashed through the dirty street water as he made his way to the gas station down the road.

Once he made it to the building he opened the big glass doors and stepped into the dimly lit place. He finally looked up with his big blue eyes and he slowly searched for what he needed. He wasn't in a hurry. He walked down the candy aisle and his eyes spotted the small yellow package. He picked up the pack of peanut M&Ms and headed towards the drinks. He found his kiwi strawberry tea he loved so much and quickly turned, slamming face-first into a very tall boy, causing him to stumble backwards.

"Fuck!" he yelped in surprise, grabbing onto the shelf to steady himself. He looked up to see bright green eyes, nearly as bright as his hoodie, looking down at him. The second thing he noticed about the boy was his hair. It was flaming crimson red and spiked in all directions. He had a pair of upside down tear drop tattoos under his eyes. He had on a black Deadmau5 shirt that hugged his slight curves and acid-washed baggy jeans with two chains hanging off his hip. Rubber bracelets strapped themselves along his wrists and a blue Bring Me the Horizon messenger bag was slung across his chest. His skin was quite pale but it added to the amazing features he had. Roxas blushed at the sight of such a gorgeous guy. He mumbled a quick apology and tried to walk away when the boy caught the sleeve of his hoodie. He snapped his head back towards the boy, instinctively glaring at him. The rude look came unnoticed by the tall boy.

"Are you alright? I didn't see you when you bumped into me," the boy said. His voice was low, but it was oddly soothing.

"I-I'm fine," Roxas stuttered. What the fuck? Roxas asked himself. What the hell is wrong with me? He never stuttered! The boy smiled at him. Holy shit, did he have a sexy smile. Roxas stared for a second.

"The name's Axel. Got it memorized?" he said with a sly smile. All Roxas could do was nod slightly. "Here, let me buy you that," Axel offered, taking the M&Ms and tea from his hands.

"Oh, y-you don't have to…" Roxas stuttered again. Why do I keep doing that? He asked himself. Axel smiled again.

"But I want to. Please?" Axel looked down at him happily. Roxas sighed and nodded. "Good," Axel chirped. They walked over to the cashregister and Axel put the various items he had onto the unsanitary counter. He pulled out a few bills and took the belongings. They walked side by side out into the drizzling rain. Axel swiftly sat on the curb and gestured for Roxas to sit next to him. Roxas hesitantly sat on the wet pavement. Axel handed him his drink and candy and they began to snack in silence. Roxas popped an M&M in his mouth and, without chewing, gulped at the tea. He ate it and looked over at Axel who was staring at him like he was a madman.

"What?" Roxas asked, his face heating slightly despite the chilly wet air.

"Does that taste good? It's really weird," Axel chuckled. Roxas smiled a little, nodding at Axel.

"It's really good. Want some?" Roxas handed him a handful of M&Ms and the can of tea. Axel smiled and took them.

"So I just..?" Axel asked.

"Put the M&M in your mouth, chew then wash it down with the tea. It's like taking a pill except you chew," Roxas explained. Axel nodded and followed Roxas' instructions. Axel sat in silence for a few moments. Roxas stared at him, admiring his face once again. Axel then bolted up, startling Roxas.

"This is fucking amazing!" Axel yelled. "Like holy fucking god this is genius! It tastes like chocolate covered strawberries dude!" Roxas laughed at his reaction.

"Yeah, they do. You also scared the living shit out me," Roxas giggled. Axel then sat down quickly.

"Sorry." Axel stood up, putting his hand out to Roxas. "Hey. What are you doing out so late anyway?" Roxas took his hand and pulled himself up. "You're like sixteen."

"Yeah. I'm sixteen but I always walk around like this. My uncle threw me out of the house again so I walk around the city until he's calmed the fuck down," Roxas mumbled. Axel looked at him sympathetically. Roxas caught the look and sighed heavily. "I don't need sympathy, okay? My life is fine the way it is."

"Does he hit you?" Axel asked. His face had gone from sympathetic to serious ina split second. Roxas was caught off guard by the sudden seriousness in Axel's voice. "Roxas. Answer me, please," he pleaded.

"Yeah, but not a lot. It doesn't hurt that bad," Roxas said quietly, nearly a whisper. He felt so weird telling this stranger all these things. He kept those facts hidden from everyone else. So why was he being so open with someone he had just met?

"Roxas." He looked up at Axel again. "Come stay with me then. I'm eighteen so I've got my own place. I know we've just met, but I can't overlook something like that. I can't just stand back, ya know? So please, even if it's just for tonight." Axel stared right through Roxas' bright blue ones. Roxas stood still, so in shock he thought it was some sort of dream. This was a stranger! He could be a serial killer, a rapist! Roxas thought for a long while.

"Alright." What the fuck am I doing? Axel smiled again, clearly excited.

"What high school do you go to?" Axel asked since the next day was a Monday and they both had to attend class.

"Twilight Town High," Roxas said. Axel stared at him in complete shock.

"Holy shit! Me too! I've never seen you around. You would think I would be able to spot someone so damn cute," Axel laughed and winked. Roxas' face was heating up again. "Well, c'mon. Let's head to my place. It's just down the street." They both walked in the drizzling rain towards Axel's apartment, chatting the whole way.

Look for chapter 2 soon! ;D
