A/N: Wow, I haven't posted anything in a long time. I'm pretty sure my writing style has probably changed too! :D Anyways, this is my first AkuRoku story and KH story. So I'd really like to see how I did. I didn't really want them to be OOC but whatever..xD
So R&R! ^_^

Ch. 1
Not For Sale
…
It was the day of his home's open house and he had to get up early. And he hated getting up early. His whole family knew that. So why the fuck had they decided to have the open house at 8am on a Saturday morning when he should have been sleeping in?!
The deal was that he was moving because he had a large family and some people were starting to get tired from sharing a room. Not that it was him or anything. Hell, he didn't care as long as his brother Sora stayed on his side of the fucking room. As long as he didn't wake him up too early in the morning with his incessant squealing he was fine. So why couldn't his parents get that?
They were only moving a block away anyways! What was the whole point?!
Oh right. Big family. Blah -Blah- Blah- Blah.
Fuck it. The door bell was ringing.
…
Roxas marched downstairs and down the hall leading to the front door. When he reached the front door, he took a deep breath, shook his head to clear his thoughts, and mentally and physically prepared himself for the onslaught of creepy strangers in his home that he had to greet.
He was going to have to act as if he was enjoying it if he wanted to get dinner tonight. But he would do it. Oh yes he would do it. For mom…and her awesome tuna casserole.
The bell continued to ring and he opened the door very annoyed but hiding it with a fake smile that instantly faded when he saw who was standing at his front door.
And at his door, stood a tall, lanky boy with flaming red hair, the greenest eyes he'd ever seen, wearing all black with a multitude of piercings on his ears, a lip ring, and were those tattoos under his eyes?...
"Not For Sale." He calmly said and slammed the door right in the teen's face.
He had started to walk away to get breakfast from the kitchen when the bell started to ring again.
"Honey, who is that?" His mother called. His eye twitched.
"No one, mom. I think it's just a stray cat or something." Roxas answered ignoring the annoying bell and continuing on his journey to the kitchen.
"Roxas, go get the door." His mother's teasingly stern voice said from the kitchen where she was making snacks.
"God Fucking Dammit..." Roxas cursed under his breath and made his way back to the door.
He opened it again and stared at the boy who was now smirking at him and still ringing the doorbell.
The green-eyed boy continued to ring it until Roxas moved aside and let him in with a sigh.
Two people followed the teen in.
"I'm so sorry about that." His mother apologized.
"It's fine." Roxas answered with a polite smile.
Stupid asshole…
Hopefully, they would just leave soon…
With these thoughts, he walked to the kitchen to grab some food. Once he was in the kitchen, he made his way to the fridge.
He made sure to be quiet because his mom and the other woman were laughing while his dad and the other man seemed to be having a conversation, and he didn't want to be caught to show the teen around or something. Where was he anyways?...
He was almost out of the kitchen when the laughing stopped and his mother's sweet voice halted him mid-step.
"Honey, this is Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair." His mother smiled.
Shit. Shit. Shit. Fuuuuuck…..
Roxas turned slowly and pasted a fake smile on. "Hello, my name is Roxas. Thank you for coming to our open house. It's nice to meet you."
He turned quickly and walked into the hallway, anger seeping into his veins.
God, seriously! He hoped these people would leave soon.
"Oh honey! I sent Axel upstairs to your room. Please show him around if you have the time. He hasn't been to Twilight Town in a couple years!"
Wait...
What?!
He ran up the stairs and threw the door open to his and Sora's room. The boy now known as Axel was looking at a picture of his him and his friends and flipping a lighter open and shut.
"What the fuck?!" Roxas launched himself at Axel and tackled him to the floor. The picture fell and cracked. The lighter fell under his bed.
"Are you trying to burn my house down?!" Roxas yelled right in the teen's face, straddling the teen's waist and gripping his black T-shirt in two fists.
The red head looked startled but then a smirk made its way across his face.
"Hello, Roxy. I didn't know you were so violent. Your mom told me you were the sweetest thing ever." The boy purred.
Roxas's eye twitched at the girly nickname as anger flared through him.
"Don't call me that! And don't talk about my mother!" Roxas growled, slamming Axel's head onto his wooden floor.
The red head winced.
"Now, you stay away from my house or I'll kill you. Understand, red head?"
"My name's not 'red head'. It's Axel. Got it memorized?" He tapped his head and then he smirked again. "By the way, is that a threat, Blondie?"
"Yeah. It is. Heed it. Also, I never want to see that lighter again." He started to stand up, but was suddenly pulled back down.
He groaned opening his eyes and baby blue met emerald green.
"Get the fuck off me." Roxas growled, glaring at the larger boy.
"Oh. That's right. You like being dominant. I totally forgot." Axel's spoke sarcastically. His eyes narrowed, glinting dangerously.
Roxas decided Axel looked scary like this. Roxas had also underestimated him. Even though he looked thin and lanky he was really strong.
Not good.
"I said get off me." Roxas steeled his voice, concealing any fear in his being.
"And what if I don't want to?" Axel smirked.
That smirk was wiped clean off his face as Roxas's fist met his jaw in a satisfying crack, making him fall back and off of Roxas.
"I've taken Martial Arts for most of my life Axel. I don't think you want to mess with me." Roxas warned, feeling slightly guilty when Axel sat up with blood dripping from the side of his mouth.
"And if I want to mess with you?" Axel wiped the blood from his mouth with his T-shirt.
Roxas frowned.
What was wrong with this guy? Did he like pain or something?
"Are you a masochist or something?"
"No." Axel grinned.
"Crazy?"
"No."
Then something hit him. That could have been taken as a lame come-on…
"Gay?..." Roxas asked slowly.
"Maybe." Axel smirked.
Roxas twitched in horror.
Oh God…
A fag was in his house…
And he had just straddled the freak…
Ewww…..
"Get out of my house!" Roxas yelled frantically, feeling sick to his stomach.
"Homophobe." Axel muttered, stood up, and walked out of his room.
:::
Roxas's parents had invited the Sinclair's to stay over for dinner without him knowing. By the time, his parents had told him, it was too late. His mother was already cooking a feast in the kitchen and his dad was talking with Mr. Sinclair about motorcycles in the dining room. Not good.
But he didn't see Axel anywhere.
Now that was a good sign.
He sighed in relief as he made his way to the living room hoping his twin brother Sora and his sister Namine were home from their friend's houses.
He smiled as he spotted a familiar head of brown spiky hair and head of straight blonde.
"Hey." He started to sit down in the spot between them.
"Hey Roxas!" Sora hugged him.
"Hey Roxas. That's Axel's seat. He went to go get popcorn. You can sit on the other side of Sora though." Namine said quietly, smiling up at him.
"What happened while I was gone?" As if on cue, Axel walked into the room with a bowl of popcorn.
He stopped when he saw Roxas with a murderous look on his face.
"Um…Did I do something wrong?" Axel looked between the three siblings.
Namine being very perceptive, hurriedly got up and dragged Roxas out of the room before he started shouting about what was bothering him and causing problems for everyone.
"Let go!" Roxas grabbed his arm away from his sister.
"Roxas. What's bothering you? What did Axel do to you?"
Roxas looked at Namine's serious expression which looked scary on such a quiet-looking appearance.
"He pissed me off and he's gay."
"Oh God.." Namine smacked a hand to her face in frustration. "That's all?!"
"Well…Yeah.." Roxas scratched the back of his head. Namine made everything that he thought was big sound so trivial. Now he was embarrassed.
"You hit him too didn't you?" She frowned.
"I told you he pissed me off."
"Roxas! You can't just hit people because they make you angry! And you especially can't dislike someone just because they're gay!"
"Whatever." Roxas turned and ran up the stairs.
After she heard Roxas's bedroom door slam, she sighed and made her way back to the living room.
:::
Roxas felt like a little child throwing a temper tantrum. Axel had it coming. He shouldn't have called him that stupid name and said that about him.
He couldn't help but feel a little guilty about hitting him though.
Maybe he did go a little too far…
He picked up his cell and texted Hayner.
'Do you want to go to the beach tomorrow?'
While he waited for the other boy's reply, he turned his Mp3 player on. He scrolled through his albums until he found one of his favorite bands named 'Red'.
He turned on their song 'Let Go' from their album 'End of Silence'.
He closed his eyes momentarily forgetting about Axel and moving houses.
:::
Blue eyes opened to stare at green.
Then a smile was in his sight, and then a purple tattoo that looked like an upside down teardrop.
Axel?
Lips came into his sight with that shiny ring piercing coming closer and closer and…
:::
"AAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!!!" Roxas woke up screaming.
:::
"Namine, dear. Go get Roxas. Dinner's ready." Mrs. Strife said to her daughter.
"Yes, mom." Namine smiled walking past Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair who were looking up at the ceiling with wide eyes.
"Is he alright?" Mrs. Sinclair asked Namine.
"Oh yeah. He's fine." Namine smiled sweetly and disappeared upstairs.
:::
Roxas was washing his face with anti-bacterial soap when Namine poked her head in his and Sora's bathroom.
"Hey Roxas. Come downstairs. Dinner's ready."
Roxas looked up at her, blind because of the soap all over his face.
"Umm…What are you doing?" Namine asked, curiously.
"Wooshinmehmooth." Roxas mumbled trying not to get the soap suds in his mouth.
"Alright. Well, don't take too long." Namine giggled, closing the door.
:::
Sitting across Axel was very awkward.
Roxas couldn't eat when he knew Axel was looking at him.
So, he couldn't really enjoy his favorite food, tuna casserole.
So now…He was very angry.
Axel obviously wasn't scared of him if the way he goofily grinned at him was any indication.
He glared at the red head as he lifted a stabbed piece of broccoli to his mouth.
"Roxas, honey? Can you go get the pie in the oven? I think it's done." She smiled at him from the other side of the table.
"Yes, mom." Roxas stood and pushed his chair back in only to have it be scoted back.
Axel..
He glared up at said freak.
"Excuse me." He pushed his chair back in, more forcefully.
"You're excused." Axel whispered so only he could hear.
Nobody else was paying any attention to them.
Roxas growled and stalked to the kitchen.
"God damn freak.." He muttered under his breath as he folded towels over both of his hands and then bent to open the oven.
Something suddenly touched his butt and he jumped letting out a surprised yelp.
He quickly turned around when he heard snickering.
"I hate you." Roxas hissed at the red head. "Why are you being such an asshole?"
"Me? Being an asshole?" Axel feigned innocence and surprise.
"Yes, you fuck-up." Roxas growled getting angrier.
"I don't know. Maybe it's you who's the asshole?" Axel's eyes flashed in anger.
He hoped he didn't have to hit him again.
It would feel nice though…
"Roxas, honey? Is the pie okay?" His mother called from the dining room.
"Yes, mother. It's alright. I'm just letting it cool for a few minutes." Roxas said loudly glaring at Axel the whole time.
"Hmm?" Axel tapped his head.
"What the fuck is your problem? What do you want from me? An apology?! Cause I can give you one!" Roxas hissed in Axel's face.
Axel's eyes softened.
"I'm sorry, alright? I didn't mean to hit you. And I'm..kind of homophobic..Sorry if I offended you, okay? I was just having a bad day today…"
"Kind of homophobic?" Axel scoffed.
Roxas glared up at him.
"Alright, alright.." Axel extended his hand. "I was an asshole too..Can we start over?"
"Sure." Roxas let loose a small smile. "I'm Roxas. Nice to meet you."
"The name's Axel. A-X-E-L, got it memorized?"
Roxas's smile was nothing compared to the brilliant white smile that illuminated Axel's face at that moment. That's probably where he had started to like Axel. Just a little bit. Even if he wore all black, had numerous piercings, a lip ring, and homosexual tendencies. Yeah, he was okay. Just a little.

Another kitchen scene:
"What do you want from me?!" Roxas hissed.
"Your virginity!" Axel pounced on the un-suspecting little blond.
"Oh Axel!"
Lol xD
