What the hell am I doing here again? Roxas thought to himself as he navigated the crowd of strangers, while the speakers blasted Mindless Self Indulgence that vibrated through the entire house.
An hour earlier (Woo! Flashback time!)
"Please!?" Sora pleaded sticking out his bottom lip, and batting his bright ocean blue eyes.
"No means no Sora." Roxas said, agitated by his younger brothers constant begging.
"B-but! Riku is going to be there!" Sora cried intensifying his desperate face.
Roxas stared at Sora. He knew that his younger twin had been madly in love with Riku since they were in junior high. He hesitated. "You know I don't like parties Sora. It's just a way for people to get drunk and have one night stands with complete strangers." Roxas argued closing his eyes and running his fingers through his hair. When he opened them he found his brother on the verge of tears, finally he gave in to the only person he could never say "No" to. "Fine" He groaned as Sora's face turned from teary eyed to excited. "But two hours tops! Then we're leaving!"
End flash back. (Aww!! TT)
Roxas grumbled he wasn't much of a partygoer. When he finally broke free of the gyrating bodies, he found himself in the back yard, where the music didn't pound into his brain so much. Outside there weren't as many people as there were inside, just a couple of drunks feeling up on each other. He sighed as he pulled up a chair by the pool, resting his head in his hands. I'm gonna shoot him! He groaned inwardly as he felt a small headache coming on.
"Hey! A new face!"
Roxas looked up to see a tall blond barely older than he was with what looked like the results of a Mullet and a Mohawk reproducing. Behind him stood one of the most interesting of people he had ever seen. A
tall , overly skinny boy bursting fire red spikes and tattoos of what looked like tears on each cheek. But what caught Roxas' attention the most were his impossibly bright green eyes that stared back at him. Roxas mentally slapped himself when he caught himself staring. "Can I help you?" He said, utterly confused. Who are these people?
"Hi! I'm Demyx!" The blonde replied. "And this here is my buddy Axel." He said pointing back to the redhead.
"Uh… Hi." Roxas said puzzled.
Demyx smiled. "If ya' want you can call me Demy. That's what all my friends call me. What's your name?" he asked with a goofy smile on his face, it almost reminded Roxas of Sora.
"Um… Roxas." He replied hesitantly.
"Ooh! Can I call you Roxy!?" Demyx asked jumping up and down happily. "Nice to meet you!" He said holding out his hand.
"Uh, nice to meet you too." Roxas said still dumbfounded, but he took his hand nonetheless.
"Hey Demy this one is pretty cute." Axel said
Roxas blushed.
"Aw! Don't mind him, he's all bark and no bite." Demyx said frowning at Axel. "And you! No harassing my new friend!"
"Okay, okay! I was just kidding!" Axel laughed as he extended a hand. "Nice to meet ya'." He smiled.
Roxas warily took Axels hand. "Nice to meet you too."
"Axel and I are in a band!" Demyx said happily as he took a seat next to Roxas. "I near lead guitar, and he's on vocals." He said jabbing his thumb toward his friend who had taken a seat across Roxas. "There's also Zexion who plays Bass, and Larxene is on drums. You should come see us sometime!"
Roxas nodded as Demyx rambled on, but he found his eyes were glued to the red head. Is his hair natural? He wondered to himself. Nah, can't be!
"Like what ya see?" Axel said seductively as he winked an emerald orb at Roxas. "If so I could always show you more." He smirked when Roxas blushed and looked away.
"Axel! I thought I told you to leave the Roxy alone!" Demyx scolded slapping the back of Axels head.
"Ow! I was just having a little fun Demy! No harm in that right?" Axel complained rubbing the back of his head where Demyx struck him.
"You'll scare him away!" Demyx argued slapping Axels head again.
"Aw! C'mon he knows I was playing, right Roxy!?" Axel turned to Roxas who was staring wide eyed in the direction of the house."Sora!" He cried rushing across the yard and through the sliding glass door where he found his wasted brother dancing atop the dining room table.
"Sora! C'mon get down, you're gonna hurt yourself!" Riku pleaded trying to grab Sora's hand.
Sora ignored Riku's pleading and continued dancing; only when he saw his older twin did he stop. "Hey Roxas!" he waved. "Come join me! It's fun!" He said. His words slurred and he swayed slightly from all the booze that he had consumed.
Roxas stormed over to Sora, grabbing his arm and yanking him off the table. "We're leaving!" He growled as he began to drag his brother through the mosh pit, and towards the door when he suddenly felt dead weight pull at his arm. "Sora! He screamed as his anger quickly changed to fear when he saw his brother passed out on the floor.
Riku ran over to the two, eyes wide with horror. "What happened?" He shouted over the music to Roxas. Panic laced his normally calm features.
"I don't know!" Roxas cried trying futilely to lift his brother off the floor. "He just passed out!"
Riku quickly picked the smaller boy up and turned to Roxas. "We should get him home." He said checking Sora to make sure he hadn't suffered any head trauma.
Roxas nodded.
When they got home Roxas looked around to make sure his parents weren't awake before waving Riku in. "Get him to his room." He whispered still keeping watch.
When they got to Sora's room Riku sat him on his bed and began gently his shoulders to try and wake him.
Sora blinked hazily for a moment before bursting into tears and hugging Riku tightly.
Riku gently ran his fingers through Sora's hair and whispered softly to him as he held the bundle of spikes.
Roxas stood at the doorway watching the two. "You can stay the night if you want." He said breaking the silence. "It'd help Sora a lot."
Riku nodded still holding Sora who had calmed down a bit.
"I'm going out for a while." Roxas said before he left.
"Be careful." Riku called after him before returning his attention to Sora who had buried his face in his shirt. "It's ok Sora, I've got you." He whispered softly. It broke his heart to see the boy that he loved so much crying. He wanted Sora to put on that goofy smile and say everything was okay. "Please don't cry, It's alright, I'm here." He cooed stroking the back of Sora's neck.
"I love you." Sora mumbled grabbing handfuls of Riku's shirt and pulling him closer.
Riku's stomach tightened. Had that been the alcohol talking? He hoped not. "I-I love you too Sora." He whispered kissing his forehead.
"Y-you mean it!?" Sora asked with a hopeful look in his eyes.
Riku smiled and nodded, relieved that Sora had stopped crying. He bent his head slightly and planted a kiss on Sora's lips cupping his cheek in his hand.
Sora leaned into the kiss as he wrapped his arms around Riku's neck pulling him closer.
When they pulled away Sora smiled his stupid little grin once more as he wiped away his tears. "I love you!" He said, sober now.
"Stupid!" Riku laughed. "You already said that"
"I know!" Sora said. "I just like saying it! Is that such a crime?" He crossed his arms and stuck out his bottom lip.
Riku just smiled. "Okay pouty face, go to bed. We have school tomorrow." He said lying down and pulling the covers over them both. "And you're gonna have one hell of a hangover in the morning."
