Chapter 1

Axel lay sprawled out on his daybed, head stuffed into a pillow, lonely as hell.

His older brother, Reno, walked by his room and poked his head in. Axel groaned and Reno rolled his eyes. The elder redhead reached down, took off a shoe, and whipped it at Axel's bright red head. Another, louder groan was heard when the shoe hit its target.

"Oi, Axel, get up!" Reno shouted. Axel picked his head up and tried his best to glare at Reno over his shoulder.

"I wasn't sleeping!"

"Actually, I was checking to see if you were still alive, yo. Those sounds you were making sounded like something was dying in here."

"Fuck off, Reno." Axel snapped. But Reno didn't leave as Axel had ordered. Instead he kicked the door wide open and leaned nonchalantly on the frame.

'What's got your feathers all ruffled?" Reno asked. Axel replied with an inaudible answer. "Heh? What was that, Axie?"

"Didn't I tell you to go away?!"

"Yes, but since when have I ever listened to you?" Reno questioned. He had a point, but Axel wasn't going to admit that out loud. Letting Reno have the pleasure of knowing he was right would only worsen Axel's already horrible mood. Instead, the younger redhead stuffed his head back into his pillow and once again told Reno to shove off.

Reno rolled his eyes for the second time.

"Why don't you go see your own personal ray of sunshine, Roxas, yo? He always seemed to put you in a good mood." No answer came from the boy on the daybed, but a visible cringed at the name of Axel's boyfriend did.

Reno sensed he struck a nerve and raised an eyebrow as he took a walk over to Axel.

"Oh, so the kid's your problem?" Reno received yet another muffled "get out", but it was just another vain attempt at getting rid of his nuisance of a brother. Reno crouched down beside Axel and grabbed a fistful of his younger brother's red hair, using it to yank his head up.

Axel let out a loud yelp and glared even harder at Reno.

"What the fuck, Reno!"

"Shut up, Axel, and listen." Reno ordered. He tightened his grip on the younger redhead's hair and watched him cringe again from the sudden pain. "Axel, are you a man?"

Axel raised an eyebrow at the question, but hissed, "Yes." Reno gave him a doubtful look.

"Are you telling the truth?" Axel didn't reply. "'Cause I don't think you are. I mean, no man I know would hole himself up in his room, pouting and sulking over a falling out he had with his boyfriend or girlfriend." Reno slammed Axel's head back down on his pillow before standing and turning his back on Axel. Axel picked up his head as he rubbed the spot where Reno's tight grasp had been.

"Oh what do you know?!"

"A lot more than you, little brother. Especially about relationships, apparently." Reno turned swiftly to poke Axel in the forehead. He received another intense glare, which he returned with his most charming smile.

"Axie; I know that when one has a fight with the one he is with, one does not simply avoid confrontation and hope it blows over. No, one figures out a way to fix the problem so the relationship can be salvaged. That is, if he cares enough about the one he is with to do so." By now, Reno had turned away from Axel once again.

Axel sat up slightly to think about what Reno had said. Reno looked over his shoulder, "So, do you care enough about Roxas to try and fix the situation you currently have stuck yourself in?"

Axel looked up at his brother and their eyes locked.

"I do…" Axel finally whispered.

"You do…what?"

"I do care about Roxas. I do want us to make up…" Reno smiled at the revelation, walked over to the door, and stood beside it.

"Well, you know what you have to do now. So get off your lazy ass and do it!" Reno demanded, pointing out the door. Axel swung his feet off the bed and looked around hesitantly before finally making up his mind to get up.

He pulled on a sweatshirt before walking over to the spot where Reno was currently standing, watching him.

Axel looked at him as he passed by and nodded to him. Reno saluted him and watched as his brother left the room and walked down the stairs.

Reno looked around the room and smiled to himself.

"Looks like my work here is done…"

------

Axel began his way towards Roxas' house by way of running. He got halfway there until he realized something.

He had no clue how he was going to win his small blond back.

"Damn it! What am I going to do?" He yelled.

"About what?" A familiar, perky voice asked from behind him. Axel spun around to come face to face with his best friend, Demyx. He looked beyond his blond friend to notice he had stopped right in front of his house. Explains why he suddenly showed up…

"Roxas," he answered simply to a notably curious Demyx. Demyx seemed to understand immediately.

"Another fight?" Axel nodded. "What about this time?"

"As bad as this sounds, I honestly don't remember. " Axel looked at his friend helplessly. "It's been a rather long time. I feel as if it was about something really stupid, but I'm not so sure, especially since it must be bad enough to have Roxy hating my guts forever."

Demyx frowned deeply. He absolutely hated it when Axel and Roxas fought. They were two of his dearest friends and the cutest couple he'd ever laid his eyes on, so it upset him to hear they were mad enough at each other to not be speaking.

Axel sat down on the curb and slumped over himself, running his fingers through his red locks, saying, "How am I ever going to get him back?"

Demy sat next to him in thought. A few moments of silence passed before he jumped up, snapping his fingers.

"I've got it!" He exclaimed, turning to see Axel staring at him curiously. "You could write him a song! It's romantic and always works in the movies!"

"Dem, you are aware we aren't in a musical right?"

Demyx rolled his eyes. "Don't wave it off until you've tried it. I'm telling you, writing Roxas a song telling him how much you are sorry will show him you really care a lot about him. I positive it'll work!"

Axel sighed. "Even if there was a chance in it working, I wouldn't know where to start in the first place. After all, I'm musically challenged. You and Rox are really the only ones who can do stuff like this out of all of us."

"Come on Ax! You have to at least try! I'm sure you'll do better than you think!" Demyx said encouragingly.

"Can't you write it for me?"

Demyx shook his head no. "Nope. It won't have the same meaning if I write it. It has to come from your heart." Another sigh came from Axel as he stood up.

"Guess you're right…" Axel said looking down the street and then back at Demyx. "Well I better get to it…"

Demyx nodded and went to say good-bye when another brilliant idea struck him. "Axel, let me come with you! Let me just get my guitar. We might need it!" Demyx turned on his heel and before Axel could protest he was already halfway to his house.

Axel waited for Demyx and a few minutes later, the blond was back, his guitar case slung over his shoulder.

"Ready!" He smiled. Axel shook his head, but said nothing so they began walking down the street, Axel throwing out ideas for his song while Demyx (unable to stop himself) added his own all the way.
