Here we have another in the NaNoWriMo 50,000 Smuts series (you may not think so after reading this but there will be a second chapter filled with porny goodness) The inspiration for this was taken from the medley of Journey songs from the end of the first season of Glee cause it's a good medley (despite being performed by Lea Michelle) but yeah hope you enjoy this and I should have the good old smut up in a few days :D
"Thank god," Roxas sighed flopping down into the chair opposite Axel. "I am so glad that week is over!"
"Boss troubles again?" Axel asked leaning his elbows on the table they had chosen. Roxas laughed, shaking his head in exasperation.
"Like you wouldn't believe," he replied. "the guy is a fucking slave-driver! If it wasn't for the fact that I know I'm getting promoted to another department soon I would have jacked it in ages ago."
"More props to you for staying then." Axel chuckled. Roxas snorted with derisive laughter.
"More stupidity you mean." he replied. "I'm just glad it's Friday; I can enjoy a night out with my two best friends, drinking monumental quantities of alcohol and then spending all of tomorrow nursing the hangover."
"Speaking of," Axel cast a glance over his shoulder. "where the hell is Reno with those drinks? He's been gone ages."
"He's probably flirting with the barely legal bartender." Roxas laughed.
"Which one?" Axel asked smirking. "The girl or the guy?"
"Like it matters?" Roxas continued to laugh.
"I know I'm amazed he's not on some kind of fucking register." Axel shook his head, grinning. It was at that moment Reno arrived, placing a pint of beer in front of both Axel and Roxas.
"Who's fucking a register?" he asked, mishearing.
"You are, you slut." Axel teased as Reno pulled the third chair out from under the table and sat down.
"Did you manage to convince either of the bartenders to go out with you?" Roxas asked, smirking at him. "Or do they have to ask their parent's permission to stay out late on a school night?"
"I'm sure you can ask if you can babysit them instead." Axel chimed in. "That's kind of like going on a date."
"You can shut the fuck up and all." Reno grinned giving Axel and gentle kick under the table. "Besides Yuffie's nineteen, yo." Roxas and Axel snorted into their drinks.
"Whatever." Axel laughed.
"Yeah she looks like she's about twelve." Roxas added.
"Well," Reno laughed at them both but pretending to be annoyed all the same. "considering that I just bought the first round of drinks for you two fuckers you can shut the fuck up."
"But it's so much fun to tease you." Axel stated giving him a goofy grin.
"I should be the one teasing you, yo." Reno replied, feigning annoyance. "I'm the older one and it's the older brother's right to tease the younger."
"You're older by like half an hour." Axel shot back. "It hardly counts for that much." Reno placed one of his hands over his heart and the other over his forehead and mimed swooning.
"Dear brother why do you wound me so?" he asked theatrically.
"Because I'm smarter than you." Axel teased. Roxas just watched them and laughed, rolling his eyes. It was always like this whenever he came to stay with Axel and Reno for the weekend; they would always try to one up each other by both teasing each other until it descended into them yelling 'your mother' at each other over and over again like completel idiots. Despite that Roxas loved them for it.
"You two are such goof-balls." he stated shaking his head, but smiling all the same, before taking a sip of his drink. They then turned their grins in his direction.
"But Roxie that's why you love us so much." Axel stated.
"Don't call me Roxie." he sighed in mild irritation. That old high school nickname still hadn't gone away despite the fact that he was now nearly twenty seven.
"But Roxie you love it so much." Axel continued to bait him. Roxas glared at him but couldn't quite keep a straight enough face and burst into laughter so settled for kicking him under the table.
"Anyway enough of this nonsense!" Reno stated suddenly slapping one on his hands down on the table top. "Get those drinks down you I've signed us up for karaoke, yo." Axel and Roxas' faces fell comically.
"You can't be serious?" Roxas asked.
"Please tell me you're joking?" Axel asked at the same time.
"No," Reno grinned broadly. "while I was at the bar they told me that it was Karaoke Night here tonight so I signed us all up for the first three songs."
"I hate you." Roxas stated almost instantaneously. "Why?"
"Yeah you know I hate singing in public." Axel whined.
"You two are such pussies." Reno teased. "It's fun; it's supposed to be awful and embarrassing and horrific. That's what makes it so entertaining."
"You are such a knob!" Roxas told him although he couldn't help grinning at him. "What did you even sign us up for?"
"Journey songs." Reno exclaimed happily.
"God, I thought you'd gotten over your weird Journey obsession." Axel grumbled.
"I will never get over my weird Journey obsession." Reno replied matter of factly.
"That's fine but why do we have to be included in it as well?" Roxas asked rubbing his temple with thumb and forefinger.
"Oh you guys are so boring, yo!" Reno moaned. "You're not actually going to leave me to do this on my own are you?"
"Well it would be fitting." Roxas smirked.
"Yeah," Axel agreed. "it was your dumb-arse idea in the first place."
"But we always do something fun and stupid when Roxas comes to stay." Reno pleaded. "Remember when we went paint-balling?"
"And you shot me in the nards with a paint pellet!" Axel exclaimed. "Why did you think that example would make me agree to this?"
"It was an accident!" Reno stated but the shit eating grin he was wearing said otherwise. Roxas rolled his eyes and shook his head. There was no way that Reno was going to let them get away with not participating so he might as well just bite the bullet and get on with it.
"Fine!" he sighed exasperated, draining the rest of his pint and getting to his feet. "I'll go first if you two are going to keep arguing about it."
"Oh you know you love me Roxie." Reno grinned at him as he brushed past. Roxas raised an eyebrow at him.
"Keep telling yourself that." he muttered darkly. Reno laughed as he left before turning to Axel to see him staring after Roxas. Reno shook his head – he looked like a love struck puppy. He was amazed that Roxas was so oblivious to it, how could he not notice? Axel continued to stare, completely lost in his own thoughts, so Reno clicked his fingers multiple times in front of his face to get his attention.
"What?" Axel asked jumping out of his stupor.
"Could you be any more obvious, yo?" Reno asked.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Axel stated suddenly becoming very interested in the contents of his pint glass.
"Oh please," Reno scoffed. "you couldn't spell it out anymore if you were wearing a t-shirt that had 'I heart Roxas' on the front of it." Axel opened his mouth to protest but seemed to think better of it.
"Am I really that obvious?" he asked after a moment's thought.
"Yes." Reno replied. "You're clearly into him so why don't you just tell him, yo?"
"Because…" Axel hedged rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Whatever you're about to say don't say it." Reno cut him off. "Whatever excuse you're going to try and pull out of your arse do not bother because I've heard them all before."
"But he's not interested." Axel replied. "Remember when you ask him out and he turned you down? He'll probably do exactly the same thing if I asked him out because we're friends and we've known each other for years."
"That was three years ago." Reno stated. He cast a swift glance in the direction of the stage and smirked. "Maybe I should try asking him out again; see what he says."
"Reno!" Axel whined childishly. Reno just laughed.
"Then tell him you fancy him or I'm asking him out again." he stated.
"Are you a child?" Axel asked in irritation but Reno ignored him.
"You never know," he said grinning. "he might say yes this time."
"Hang on," Axel began, confused. "if you're interested in him as well then why are you pushing me to ask him out?"
"Because I know that you and he would make a better couple that he and I would." Reno replied. "Plus, if I'm honest, I'd be happy if I just got the chance to fuck him at least once."
"You're disgusting." Axel grimaced.
"Oh come on!" Reno scoffed. "Don't act like you haven't thought about it!" He was right; Axel had thought about Roxas like that but he had also thought about holding him, kissing him and doing the stupid coupley stuff all his other friends did with their partners. He couldn't deny that there had been nights where dreams of Roxas naked on his bed, panting and moaning, had plagued him until he had to sort himself else but he liked to think he was more of a gentleman than that.
"You're still disgusting." he chided.
"And you're in denial." Reno smirked. "Seriously if you don't say something then I'm going to…" But he never got the chance to finish his sentence as the light music that had been playing overhead cut out.
"Shhh." Axel shushed him as louder music began to play over the bar's speakers. The lights went down and both of them turned to see Roxas standing on the stage, a microphone in hand. As the interlude played out into the melody he lifted the microphone to his lips and began to sing, his eyes focusing on their table and Axel in particular the entire time.
"Highway run into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round, you're on my mind
Restless hearts sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love along the wire
They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh boy you stand by me
I'm forever yours faithfully"
As Roxas continued to sing Reno followed the path of his line of sight, seeing it zeroed in on Axel. Axel was staring back at him, a look of absolute adoration on his face. Reno smirked to himself; didn't fancy each other, his arse! By the end of this night he was going to get the two of them to admit their feelings for each other or he was going to try his luck with Roxas again.
He couldn't deny that the guy was gorgeous but, as much as he liked him, he knew that Axel would be a much better match for him. That didn't mean that he couldn't enjoy the view while it was on display; Roxas had an amazing body, an incredibly cute face and he was funny and sweet and just a really nice guy. He really couldn't blame anyone for being attracted to him.
"So," he whispered in Axel's ear, nudging him lightly in the ribs. "are you going to tell him that you fancy him or not, yo?" Axel's face flushed as red as his hair. He made a point of turning away from the stage as he took another swig of his drink.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." he replied. Reno smirked wickedly. So he wanted to play it that way, did he?
"Well if you're not going to do anything about it then whatever I do is fair game." he stated.
"What?"
"All's fair in love and war, dear brother." he teased as he got to his feet. Axel's face dropped in surprise as he left the table and began making his way over to the stage.
"Reno wait!" he called after him but he didn't hear him. Axel watched him reach the stage and grab a microphone and instantly wanted to slam his head into the table. Whatever was going through Reno's sick and twisted mind was not going to be good. He had leverage over Axel and there was every certainty that he was going to use that information to humiliate him mercilessly.
Up on the stage Roxas had finished singing. He turned to exit the stage so he could go back to the table, make the point to Reno that he had sung and that was it and then he could continue to enjoy the rest of evening without being pestered to sing again. He was about to leave when Reno appeared at the side of the stage, holding another microphone and grinning at him. Before he could make his escape, however, Reno took hold of his shoulders, spun him round and pushed him back into the centre of the stage.
"Reno what are you doing?" he asked.
"We're doing a duet." Reno replied grinning at him.
"But…" Roxas began. He had thought that his painful humiliation was over but apparently Reno had other ideas. He sighed there was no point in him fighting it; he was going to have to endure this humiliation until the three songs were up. He sighed. "Fine!"
"Awesome!" Reno cackled with glee. "I knew you'd come around Roxie."
"If you say so." Roxas sighed as the music started up again. He raised the microphone to his lips for the second time and began to sing but nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt Reno's chest pressed up against his back, his hand precariously placed on the top of his thigh.
"The fuck are you doing?" he managed to choke out, moving the microphone so only Reno would hear him.
"Having some fun." he grinned and continued his ministrations. "Keep singing."
"I hate you so much." Roxas grumbled but dutifully continued to sing, his face heating up as Reno continued to tease him; grinding against him and putting on a show for the audience.
"It won't be long, yeah, till you're alone
When your love, oh, he hasn't come home
'Cause he's lovin', he's touchin' he's squeezin' another!
Any way you want it that's the way you need it
Any way you want it
He said any way you want it that's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
As he continued to grind against Roxas he smirked out into the audience until he locked eyes with Axel. He raised an eyebrow at him that seemed to say 'what are you going to do about it?' It was a challenge that Axel was seriously considering rising to, especially since Reno was now threatening to tell Roxas that Axel fancied him or actually asking him out himself before Axel had a chance.
He got to his feet and made his way over to the stage intending to even the playing field as Reno and Roxas continued their performance. Roxas' face by this point was so red he thought his head was going to explode; with Reno grinding against him and making a point of slipping his hand up his chest whenever he sang about touching, Roxas could no longer tell if he was embarrassed or aroused or both. He wanted to get off the stage as quickly as possible but the only way he was going to do that was to be to continue singing.
"I was alone, I never knew, what good love could do
Ooh then we touched, then we sang about the lovin' things
'Cause he's lovin', he's touchin', he's squeezin' another!
Any way you want it that's the way you need it!"
Axel grabbed a microphone from the man standing by the side of the stage, just as the song came to a close, and thanked him before bounding out onto the stage to join them. The third of the three songs that Reno had signed them up for had begun and Reno and Roxas were completely lost in the music to notice Axel at first until he jumped in to join them.
"A singer in a smoky room, a smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on"
Roxas beamed when he saw him and Reno grinned, raising an eyebrow that said 'feeling left out?' Axel rolled his eyes he knew that Reno was baiting him, trying to get a response out of him by teasing him, but he was going to ignore him. He was actually beginning to enjoy being up on stage with him and Roxas belting out Journey at the top of his lungs. It was as if the three of them had stopped performing to the crowd now and were just singing for each other and for the fun of it. They were having way too much fun to notice anyone else in the room.
"Working hard to get my fill, everybody wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
And though the movie never ends it goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, people living just to find devotion
Hiding somewhere in the night!
Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling
Streetlights, people oh!
Don't stop!"
As the song finished the three of them were breathless and panting from singing at the top of their lungs and all grinning from ear to ear. They left the stage, handing their microphones to the man at the side who handed one to the next girl about to sing, and went back to their table.
"So do you believe me now that karaoke is fun?" Reno asked flopping down into his chair.
"Ok," Roxas laughed. "I have to admit that was a lot of fun."
"Yeah," Axel smiled. "for once you were actually right about something."
"Night doesn't have to stop there." Reno grinned wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"How do you mean?" Axel asked. He had a sinking feeling he knew exactly what he meant when he said that. Reno smirked before grinning like a lunatic and throwing his arms open wide.
"More Journey songs!" he cried, elated. Axel and Roxas shared an exasperated glance before breaking into laughter. Oh Reno and his weird Journey obsession…
I love Journey (could you tell) anyway sorry if this was a little dumb but the next bit will be better I promise :D
