Description: They both knew it was wrong, but they were drawn to each other, like magnets… AU setting. Roxas was content with his easy life, coasting on the last year of high school. Axel was just happy to be finally focusing on Flaming Hearts, his band. Obviously all hell broke loose when they met. An AkuRoku story. They just so happen to be my OTP, competing with SoRiku.
Warning: This story contains language! I don't wanna melt you guys' tender little brains! OH! And gayness. Yaoi. Boy on boy action. Literally. There's no going back to being innocent after reading a lemon. Which this story will contain. Eventually. Unless someone else would like to write one FOR me? I suck at lemons so bad XD
Disclaimer: Are you serious? Don't you think Sora would've been making out with Riku, like, the WHOLE game if I owned KH? Lol and as much as I really wanna own Jesse McCartney and his song *GASP* Just So You Know, that did happen to inspire this… I do not. :( can someone buy those for me for my b-day? PLEASE? XD
Ch1: Meeting
I grabbed my lucky sharktooth necklace as I rushed out of my home. I only quickly glanced at my blonde hair in the round mirror hanging by the front door, knowing I was already late, but needing to check my hair anyway. I smiled happily at my silver porche, just as I had every day for almost two years since I got it from my parents on my sixteenth. Sadly, I realized that even though I moved into my boyfriend's house almost three months ago, I still didn't miss my parent's house.
Shit, Roxas, stop losing focus! The party, remember! I cursed under my breath as I backed out of the driveway, realizing now it was almost 7:50. About twenty minutes late and I wasn't even at the party! At least the Flaming Hearts, my boyfriend's band, didn't go on til eight.
I slowly drove into the parking lot of the bar, it being incredibly packed already. As I parked, my ears were assaulted by the screaming of the front man's voice. I smiled in anticipation, looking forward to seeing my boyfriend.
As I walked through the doors I instantly couldn't hear anything but the lyrics of Animal Boy and the screaming of all their fans. They were a great cover band, and could do any type of music there was. The singer could make his voice very soft and light if he wanted to, but preferred to play punky screamer music.
I was more of a prep than a punk, so I didn't like much of the music my boyfriend played, but was supportive anyway. This was actually the first time I heard Flaming Hearts live, and the music was alright, but nothing I'd listen to in my spare time. As the song ended, I smiled proudly and watched my guitarist grin, glowing from the reception he was getting from the audience.
I had once promised to learn guitar for him, but I never got into it when anyone tried to teach me. I was interested in learning, of course, but the way everyone taught it was so boring.
I watched as the band finished up their last song and walk offstage, making the fans so crazy that if I were to just nudge someone it would start a riot. I smiled softly as my boyfriend ran to me, risking life and limb to push through the mob toward me.
I gave the taller man a hug. "You were fantastic, Demyx." I backed and faced the whole band, no doubt also eager to impress their lead guitarist's boyfriend. Demyx did tend to make mountains out of molehills. "You all were great. I really like you guys' music!" I lied. It was true; they were good, but just not my type of music.
The redhead singer smirked and said, "I don't believe we've been formally introduced." He held out his hand. "I'm Axel." I shook his hand and almost immediately pulled away because of his painful death grip. His smirk became even more pronounced. Jerk.
"Oh, right!" Demyx announced, flustered. "Axel's the lead singer, Saix is on drums," the blue haired man nodded to me. "And Riku's on the keyboard and adds any sound effects we need." The white haired teenager was the only one who didn't look 21. Maybe about 19. I'd have to ask my older brother, Sora, if he knew of a Riku.
I smiled at each one. "Hey, I'm Roxas." I replied simply.
"Hey Rox, wanna come have dinner with us?" Demyx smiled like a hyper kid. "We're having this crazy meaty pizza at this one-"
"Uh, but isn't it, like, 10?" I asked stupidly, wondering why they would have dinner this late. Demyx and the others looked at me questioningly, but Axel just smirked arrogantly.
"Told you guys this kid was a wimp, what are you, 15? Or my mom?" Saix chuckled quietly and Riku cracked a smile.
I narrowed my eyes. "I'm almost 18, and I'm game for that." I felt a small blush come on, since I was embarrassed that I would say something so stupid to my boyfriend's band. "Where are we going?"
!S!S!S!
I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion. "Midnight-In-Twilight Pizzeria? How have I never seen this place?" I racked my brain for any type of pizzeria in the town I'd lived in for my entire life, but I could only think of J&A's Pizza, which was owned by this Arabian couple that always burned the crust.
"This place is kind of a whole in the wall type, plus it's in the dark alley part of town, so you've probably never been." Axel smirked AGAIN, and I was beginning to think it was impossible for him to smile. The owner of the place, some Chinese woman with short black hair standing next to a buff dude with a red soldier's uniform on just smiled at Axel and Riku and waved us in.
I sat down at the table for five that a small dragon waiter motioned us to and immediately felt my chair pull from under me. "W-what the hell, Axel?" I yelled at the red haired man leering above me.
He simply glared with his piercing emerald eyes and said, "This is my seat."
I rolled my eyes and retorted, "I don't see your name on it." The playful look returned to his eyes and he smirked for the billionth time.
"It's right here." He pointed at the table above me and I got up and studied it. Axel was indeed carved in the aged wood. I laughed and turned back to the tall front man.
"Fair enough." I said and moved to a seat between Axel and Demyx. "So, when do they come take your order?"
Axel laughed. "We come here so much they stopped doing it. They just bring out the pizza and let us eat. Chien-Po, the chef, owes me a favor so tonight's order is on the house."
"What kind of pizza is it?" Now everyone laughed.
"It's the meat lover's fire supreme." Riku explained. "It's named after Axel's hair since he's the one who was first crazy enough to order the monstrosity." Axel smiled (finally) and leaned back in his chair proudly.
"What's it got on it?" I asked suspiciously. The 'crazy' and 'monstrosity' parts were making me nervous.
"Only every meat they serve here, and a few jalapeños." Axel stated. I raised my eyebrows, shocked. I wasn't very good with spicy food.
"Um, how are you expecting me to eat that?" I questioned.
"Just try it!" Demyx practically yelled. "I bet you'll love it!"
"….Fine." I almost pouted, feeling defeated because I gave in so easily. When the pizza arrived, I could spot ham, turkey, salami, pepperoni, bologna, sausage, mushrooms, olives, and many other practically unidentifiable things on the pizza. I cringed at the little pieces of pepper.
Axel handed me one of the bigger slices of the dish and slapped it onto my plate. Eyes narrowed in suspicion and terror, I took a timid bite of the slice.
"Gu, Ermph… Tha's good!" I said while swallowing. The peppers left a burning sensation on my tongue, but it was a good feeling. Somehow, the different flavors balanced each other out.
Everyone smiled. Riku even gave me a high five, then took a call as everyone else ate. I watched as the pizza quickly deteriorated within grabbing hands, and I finished my sole piece, not very hungry. As Riku sat back down, his glum sigh ruined Dem's 'Happy Meter'.
"What's wrong?" Demyx asked. I sighed, wondering why he couldn't just leave it alone.
"That guy I like wants to go to the beach with me tomorrow, but I've got nothing to wear. I don't even have a bathing suit." Demyx's whole face lit up.
"We should go shopping! Let's go now! You don't mind, Rox?" Dem faced me.
"Oh, no! Of course not! Go ahead." I assured. They left quickly after grabbing one last piece of pizza. After a minute or so of awkward silence, a short, lanky man passed by our table and walked into the employee's only door. Saix made a face and cracked his knuckles.
"Gotta go, Ling owes me some munny." Saix pushed back his chair angrily and stalked into the same door. Axel cracked a smile and leaned back in his chair.
"Soo… What'd you really think of the music?" Axel asked confidently. I was amazed that he could pick up my lie in a loud, crowded place like the bar whereas Dem couldn't. Although Demyx had never been the sharpest crayon in the shed. I was glad that Axel had waited until we were alone to point it out, though.
"It's alright, just not my style," I responded.
"Ha!" Axel laughed shortly. "I know guys like you. You don't have a 'style'. I'll show you real music someday." He announced. I raised my eyebrows.
"I think I'll pass."
Axel snorted, but let it go. "How're you and Dem? Didja bang him yet? Or I guess, he bang you."
"I'm only 17- Hey! What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means," Axel emphasized, "That I assume you're on bottom, obviously."
"Bo- Um, wha…?" I stuttered uselessly, when Saix came running back.
"Time for us to make our exit!" I looked and realized the man named Ling and a big man who I assumed was the chef were both running after Saix. We ran out of the parlor and quickly made our escape in Axel's red (go figure) Volvo.
S!S!S!
The next day, I was just hanging around the apartment, bored out of my mind when I got a text.
Band needs someone for cover art. Check with ur friends to c if they have any artsy talent.
-Ax-
Ax… Axel? What the hell?
How did you get my #?
*Buzz… Buzz… Buzz*
Dem gave it to me, listen, just do it. We're getting desperate here.
I've got an artist cousin. I'll see if she can do it.
Great! Call me if she can.
I got in my car and drove to Nami's, only a few blocks away. I got out and knocked on the mahogany door, praying she was there so I could get this over with.
"Hello- Oh! Hey Rox, how's it going?" Namine ushered me inside her perfectly coordinated house. It was so white and… boring. I was glad I didn't live there, I would've gone crazy.
"Actually, Nami, I came to ask for a favor. My boyfriend's band needs someone to draw the cover art, and I was wondering if you could do it." I asked hesitantly.
"Oh, of course, Roxas!" She replied excitedly. "Just give me a description." I blanked. "You know, of what I have to draw? Oh Roxas! You didn't even get a description?" God! How could I not ask Axel for a description?
I grabbed my cell and called the number Axel texted from. "Hey Axel." I said oh so joyously. *Sarcasm*
"Hey, blondie. Watcha need?"
"I forgot to ask for the description. What should the cover look like?"
"Oh, right." I could hear Axel's deep laugh from the other line. "Why don't u just bring your little artist cousin over here and I'll describe it to you guys? I just want it right."
"…Okay. Bye." I hung up and turned to the only person I knew who was shorter than me. "Axel wants us to go over to his house so he can describe it to you."
"Ooh, is Axel your boyfriend?" She asked excitedly. "That's a hot name. What's he like?"
"Um, no. Axel's the leader of the band. Don't you remember Demyx?" I replied.
"Oh, yeah, I just assumed you guys would break up, since he… He seemed to get on your nerves a lot, honestly." She shrugged.
I laughed. "That's just Dem. Now shut up and get in the car. I still have to find out where that redhead lives."
"Oooh, red hair? Hot!" Namine laughed. I hit her lightly on the shoulder and smiled. She was sorta right.
A/N: Hiiii! Didja like it? It's the first story I've ever posted and I'm determined to finish it, even if it is suckish! Oohh… and I don't own the song Animal Boy by the Ramones. Lol.
