Zexion had said he didn't want to do anything for his eighteenth birthday and he really didn't. He planned to treat it like any other day. Luckily it landed on a weekend so he didn't have to go to school and have his friends make a big deal of it. He finally convinced them all not to bother doing anything for him. All but two – Vanitas and Axel.

The day before Vanitas called and invited him over to their house. Zexion hadn't really thought much about it considering it wasn't his birthday yet. He got ready, changing his clothes and putting on his shoes to leave. He liked going to their house, especially when there was nothing happening at home. Namine wasn't very okay with him going and staying there. That was mostly because of the age differences and she claimed she's seen them check him out multiple times. Zexion always had to reassure her that they aren't as bad they seem and that they've never tried anything with him. He's known them for eight years now – he can trust them.

Vanitas is four years older than him. They met during the time Zexion had been bullied by some other kids. Being older and intimidating, Vanitas easily made them back off. He then began to hang out with Zexion, keeping the bullies away until they finally gave up. He also helped the younger boy with things he couldn't do alone. Soon after they met Axel who is two years older than Vanitas, making him six years older than Zexion. The redhead kept them out of trouble the majority of the time. He kept Vanitas out of most fights and helped Zexion from getting lost while doing errands for his father – the youngest had a terrible sense of direction and bad habit of getting lost.

They've been friends ever since. Vanitas and Axel were also his closest friends. They were also his two major crushes.

Arriving at their house and knocking on the door, Zexion waited until it opened. He was greeted by Axel when it did. "Hey kid," the redhead greeted him, earning a glare from the other. He looked the other's outfit – an oversized pullover sweatshirt and form fitting jeans Vanitas had bought him one day – over before asking, "Is that my sweatshirt?"

"Yes," Zexion answered simply. "You left it at my house."

"Huh. I was wondering where it went," he spoke mostly to himself, stepping aside and letting the other in.

"So what are you guys up to?" he asked, walking to the couch and sitting down.

The couch sifted slightly as Vanitas came up from behind and sat down next to him, jumping over the back to do so. "Celebrating your birthday of course," he said, leaning back and resting his arms along the back cushions.

Zexion groaned, slumping in his seat. "I told you guys I don't want to do anything," he said. "Besides, it's not even my birthday yet."

"We know," Axel said. He joined them, sitting down on the other side of Zexion. "We thought it'd be fun to wait until midnight. It's just going to be us three watching TV and eating junk food."

"I'm spending the night?" Zexion asked. The redhead nodded. "You know, that would've been nice to know before I came over."

"Van, why didn't you tell him?" the redhead questioned.

"I forgot." The other shrugged, using a remote to search through movies and shows. "You can borrow my clothes if you need to," he told Zexion. "Or Axel's," he added, having glanced over and noticed the sweatshirt he wore. "What do you want to watch?"

"I don't care," he answered.

"No, you have to choose," Axel argued. "It's your birthday and we're going to spoil you."

"It's not my birthday."

"It's close enough. Now answer Van and then tell me what you want to eat."

With a sigh, Zexion chose one of the movies currently listed on the screen before answering Axel's question of what he wanted to eat. The redhead got up, grabbed his keys from the coffee table in front of the couch, and left to get their food.

As the movie started, Zexion pushed off his shoes and brought his feet to the couch, getting comfortable. He and Vanitas sat silently until the older of them finally spoke up.

"So, is there anything you're looking forward to once you're eighteen?"

"Nothing in particular. Why?"

"Just curious."

"Is there something I should look forward to?" Zexion asked, looking over at his friend.

Vanitas met his gaze. "I guess not," he answered after a moment of thinking. He smirked then, saying, "I for one am looking forward to no longer hanging out with a kid." He used the hand resting behind Zexion to ruffle the other's hair.

"Stop that," Zexion demanded, slapping away the hand. He tucked his messed up hair behind his ear. "And stop calling me a kid."

"I'll stop once you stop being one," he said.

Zexion groaned in annoyance before returning his attention back to the movie.

It wasn't too long until Axel came back, bags of food in hand. He set the bags down on the coffee table as he sat back down. Vanitas silently got up, going to the kitchen and returning with three sodas. He handed them to the others as the redhead got the food out of the bag. They ate mostly in silence other than the occasional comment on the movie. Once the movie ended they put on another and another after that.

It was during the third movie that Zexion noticed something. Both Axel and Vanitas were acting weird. They weren't being their usual selves. Usually they both teased him or made jokes, most of them inappropriate. They were also both space invaders and Zexion had grown accustomed to being physically close to them both. Now it was like they were trying not to touch him. They also hardly looked at him when they spoke.

"You two are acting weird," he finally said. "Why?"

"What do you mean weird?" Vanitas asked.

"Yeah, we're not acting weird," Axel said.

Neither one of them looked at him.

"You guys aren't acting like you usually do. You've barely teased me or made jokes and it's like you're avoiding touching or looking at me. Why?" he asked again, now getting irritated. Something was up.

They were both quiet and Zexion was about to ask them again but was stopped as Axel finally spoke up. "We're just nervous, that's all," he said with a small smile as he looked at Zexion.

"Nervous for what?" he asked, confused. There wasn't anything they should be nervous about, not that he knew of.

"Midnight," Vanitas answered.

"What? Why?"

"Well, we kind of had something planned," Axel said.

"And what did you have planned?" Zexion asked slowly. He didn't get an answer from the redhead, so he turned to Vanitas. "Van?"

His friend sighed, looking pass him to Axel and getting a nod from him. He then looked back to Zexion. "We were both going to confess to you after midnight."

"Confess?" the youngest repeated. "Confess what?"

"That we like you," Axel answered. "Really, really like you."

Zexion blinked, surprised by what they were saying. They both like me?

"So, now you know," Vanitas said and Zexion turned back to him. "What do you have to say? Do you like either of us back or no?"

"I, um," he started, feeling himself beginning to blush. He had not expected this to happen tonight. He looked back at Axel before turning his attention to his hands in his lap. "I like you both."

It was silent for a moment. Then he heard Axel say, "I can work with that." Followed by a hummed agreement from Vanitas.

"Now," Vanitas said and Zexion could feel him move to sit closer to him, their thighs touching. The other leaned in close to continue speaking. "What was it you complained about? Us not touching you?" he asked, moving his leg so it rubbed against the other's leg.

"Us not looking at you?" Axel continued, gently tilting Zexion's head back up to look him in the eyes.

"Us not teasing you?" Vanitas asked as his hand moved up the other's thigh at the same time Axel leaned in as if to kiss him, only to stop a hair away.

Zexion couldn't breathe properly. He felt hot. His heart was beating fast. He's never been in a situation like this and his very experienced friends were more than overwhelming him. He could feel Vanitas's hand on his thigh as it slowly ran up and down, coming so close to actually touching him. He couldn't hold Axel's gaze any longer and looked down, only to stare at the other's lips. He bit the inside of his own before leaning forward, but Axel moved away.

"Patience. It's not midnight yet," the redhead said with a smirk.

Zexion glanced at the clock at saw that it was currently 11:55. Only five minutes left. He could wait, most likely. The thought of waiting was quickly thrown out the window though as Vanitas rested his head on his shoulder, his lips ghosting his skin and his breath teasing him. He didn't want to wait, but knowing the two, they were going to make him.

Axel leaned back in, his lips brushing the other's ear as his hand went to the bottom of the sweatshirt and playing with it. "You know, I really like how you look in my clothes," he said huskily. His hand slipped underneath the sweatshirt, pleased when he found the other hadn't bothered to put a shirt on. He lightly touched along his stomach and up to his chest. "But I think you'd look even better out of them."

"Oh my god," Zexion breathed out, tilting his head back to rest against the couch. "That was horrible."

He felt Vanitas laugh against his neck and it was surprisingly comforting.

"You loved it," the redhead said with a smirk.

He hummed, arching into Axel's touches. "Is it midnight yet?" he asked.

"Almost. Just a couple more minutes."

He groaned in annoyance at the answer. He was starting to grow impatient.

"Don't worry," Vanitas spoke up, his hand still on Zexion's thigh moving and accidentally brushing against his groin, earning a small gasp from the youngest. Something told Zexion that the other hadn't done that on accident. "Waiting will be very worth it."

Zexion looked back at the clock. 11:59. Just one more minute left. He waited, not taking his eyes off the clock until it changed. It felt like forever, but finally the minute was over and it was midnight. "Midnight, it's midnight," he told the others.

He hadn't even finished speaking before he felt Vanitas's lips on his neck begin kissing him, Axel taking his ear lobe between his lips and lightly biting. The redhead's hand on his chest moved to find and touch one of his nipples while the hand on his thigh moved up to palm him through his jeans. He let out a gasp at the sudden attention, shortly followed by an unexpected moan he didn't have time to stop.

"Oh, this is going to be fun," Vanitas said, smirking as he pulled away. He got off the couch, taking one of Zexion's hands with him and pulling him to his feet and away from the redhead. "Come on." He led the youngest to the guest bedroom, though the only person who used it was Zexion whenever he stayed over. The bedroom was practically his.

Pulling the other into the room, Vanitas brought him to the bed and pushed him gently to get him to sit down. He leaned down, tilting Zexion's head up and kissing him. He knew it wasn't the other's first kiss, but still, he expected some hesitation. Instead, he was kissed back almost immediately. Vanitas rested his hands on the others hips as he leaned forward, both deepening the kiss and encouraging the other to lie down. Zexion did, wrapping his arms around the other's neck for support and to make sure he didn't pull away from the kiss.

Vanitas eventually did pull away, moving to kiss the other's neck as his hands moved to find the button and zipper of Zexion's jeans. He kept him distracted as he worked to undo them, working on leaving a mark on his neck as well. Once he was done, Vanitas pulled away again and looked the other over. Zexion was flushed and panting, his eyes closed and his neck marked. Vanitas smirked, loving the sight of the other, before beginning to pull down the other's jeans.

"Van?" he heard the younger boy say.

"Yeah?" Vanitas asked, pausing his movements in case the other wanted him to stop.

Zexion nudged the older boy above him with his legs, silently telling him to continue. Once he did he asked, "Where's Axel?"

Vanitas finished removing the jeans before looking over his shoulder, easily finding the redhead leaning in the doorway. He narrowed his eyes at his friend. "Stop watching and get your ass over here."

The redhead silently did as he was told, walking over to the bed and sitting down beside Zexion. The other's eyes opened to look up at him after feeling the bed sift. Giving a smile, Axel reached over and pushed away the hair that had fallen in the other's face. "You're so beautiful," he said before leaning down and kissing him. His hand went back to the bottom of the sweatshirt and repeated what he had done back on the couch.

Zexion wrapped his arms around the redhead, glad to have something to focus on. One hand eventually found its way into the other's hair, playing with it and accidentally tugging lightly. That earned a small sound from Axel and Zexion smiled into the kiss, pleased to have managed that. He tried again, pulling on the redhead's hair and hearing a moan in return.

"Fuck Zex," Axel muttered against his lips. He felt another light tug and smiled. "If you're going to pull my hair, pull a little harder." Zexion did so, receiving a deep moan from the redhead. "There you go," he said before continuing kissing the other.

The youngest was almost too distracted by the redhead, having only realized Vanitas removed his underwear when he felt the other's hands on his thighs once more. He gasped into his kiss with Axel, the redhead taking advantage and slipping his tongue in the other's mouth. He allowed Vanitas to spread his legs and settle in between them. Zexion didn't think of what the other had planned to do – once again too distracted with kissing Axel – but quickly realized once he felt Vanitas's breath on his length.

He gasped again, breaking his kiss with Axel to look down at his other friend. He immediately regretted doing so because as soon as he made eye contact with Vanitas he was greeted with a smirk and wink. Vanitas broke the eye contact as he leaned in closer, his tongue poking out and teasing the tip. Zexion let out a quiet moan, Vanitas looking back up at the sound. He continued teasing, holding the younger's gaze before slowly taking the tip in his mouth.

"V-Van," Zexion whined. The boy in question hummed in response, sending vibrations as he took the other deeper. That in turn caused Zexion to moan once more, finally breaking eye contact as he rested against the pillows. He involuntarily moved his hips, making Vanitas deep throat him.

Axel watched, amused by the boy's reactions. Wanting to have more fun himself, the redhead pushed the sweatshirt up, gently removing it. He leaned down, kissing the boy's neck and leaving a mark of his own on the opposite side of Vanitas's. Once done, he kissed lower, briefly biting Zexion's collar bone and earning a small moan. Axel wasn't sure whether or not he or Vanitas caused it, so he bit again, receiving another. "So, you like biting," Axel noted. "Good to know."

Zexion's hands found their way back to the redhead's hair and instantly began pulling again. The redhead moaned, but couldn't help but think that was the other's way of telling him to shut up.

They each continued, Vanitas deep throating the other and Axel kissing and biting down his chest. Just about everything they did caused Zexion to moan. It wasn't long until his moans began to change slightly and he called out Vanitas's name in warning. The older boy pulled away a little, but continued sucking, quickly swallowing when Zexion released with a loud moan.

Vanitas sat up, watching as Zexion slowly began to catch his breath, the younger's arms still around Axel. The redhead moved away to sit up as Vanitas moved to sit on the other side of Zexion. "Happy birthday kid," Vanitas said, running a hand through Zexion's hair, the other leaning into his touch.

"You said you'd stop calling me that," Zexion said tiredly.

"I lied. Now get some rest," he said, making to get up but stopped at a hand on his.

"What about you two?" he asked. Vanitas looked up at Axel, momentarily confused until he continued. "You two didn't," he said, trailing off, unsure exactly what to say. The others managed to understand what he meant though.

"It's fine," Axel said. "We can handle that ourselves."

"But I don't want you to leave," Zexion admitted.

"We'll be right back," Vanitas reassured, leaning down and briefly kissing him. Both he and Axel got up and left, leaving Zexion alone.

After a minute, Zexion got up and off the bed. If they were coming back then he didn't want to remain the only one naked. He quickly found his underwear and Axel's sweatshirt and put them back on before climbing back onto the bed. He was almost asleep when Axel and Vanitas came back, each getting on the bed to lay on either side of him. Zexion blindly reached out in front of himself, tugging on the shirt of whoever was in front of him. They moved closer to him and he wrapped his arms around them, finally realizing it was Axel. Zexion felt Vanitas wrap his own arms around his waist before finally falling asleep.


Okay, so this was meant to be a oneshot kind of thing - I've been really into both Axel/Zexion and Vanitas/Zexion and needed to get this out of my system - but then some things changed and now it's a little story of its own. I already have the second chapter done and really want to start the third but I need to do some important things first.

I haven't written in so long so I'm so sorry for this. Zexion's very out of character I'm sure, and I've barely written Vanitas before. Hopefully I'll improve while working on the other chapters. I have another story I forgot about and will most likely get to work on soon, but I want to get the characters back in character because I want that story to come out well. So, until then, I'll be working on this and a few other things to get back into writing.
