Place Your Bets…
So, this is chapter one. Unfortunately, in order to get the next sections, I need to get something from my friend. If you want the next chapter faster, please harass her on her DeviantArt. This is the URL for it: mangiana. deviantart. com. Remove spaces if you want to copy and paste.
Please review, and give constructive criticism as this is not only my first yaoi, and later, my first lemon, this is my first fanfic ever. Oh, I don't own, so you can't sue. Thank-you for your time.
"There's no fucking way…" Riku's face fell as Luxord showed his hand, beating the teen's straight with a royal flush.
"Told you. Pay up," Roxas muttered, turning to Axel with a grin. The red head groaned, fishing around in large pockets and turning a look of incredulity to Luxord.
"Sorry, mate, but you should have known from past experience. I never lose," the Brit gloated, fanning himself with the winning hand. "Now, Riku. I happen to know that you have no munny, so I'll be exacting something else as my reward."
Riku eyed the blonde cautiously, ignoring the fact that Roxas was jumping on Axel to retrieve his winnings from their little side bet. "What do you want?"
Luxord grinned and leaned towards him, standing up when the pyro's 'evasive maneuvers' threatened to take out his chair. "I want you to let Sora top."
All motion ceased, leaving the silver-haired teen gaping and Roxas frozen in mid-reach. Even Axel stared with wide eyes at Luxord, forgetting that he was running from his uke in the first place.
Riku broke the silence. "What?! Why?" he choked, leaning away from the smirking British man.
Luxord shrugged. "To give your high and mighty seme pride a little blow, no pun intended-" He looked at Axel as he opened his mouth to point out the possible sexual reference. "and for my own amusement as you struggle to complete the bet of course. What's life without a little fun?"
Roxas laughed at Riku's shocked expression as he snatched his winnings from the red head on the floor. Riku spared him a glare before turning back to the smug blonde before him. "And if I refuse?"
"I'll tell your mother that you've been gambling and I'll tell Sora's mum that you've been sneaking into his room at night to screw her little boy senseless," Luxord answered with a straight face, cutting off all hope for escape.
"You're bluffing," Riku snorted, kicking Axel as he whispered a play-by-play commentary in Roxas's ear.
"Care to call it then?" Luxord drawled, picking up his cell phone and waving it tantalizingly. Riku snatched the phone, dialing Sora's number. He glared at the blonde man, who shrugged and leaned back into his wounded chair smiling, until the ringing stopped.
"Sora?...Yeah, it's me…'Cause I'm borrowing his phone…No nothing's wrong…'Cause it was easier to steal his phone than to reach into my pocket to get mine…Do I need a reason to call you?...Okay, you've got a point…Hold on there, just wait a sec will ya? Can you come over to Roxas's house?...Me, Luxord, Roxas, and the big red dummy are hanging out, probably going to be here all night…Alright, I'll wait." Roxas jumped on Axel and distracted him as Riku had a brief cat fight with the pyro. "What?...Yeah, I'm still here. Dunno. I'll ask, hold on a sec."
Riku covered the mouth piece. "Rox, Sora's mum says he can't come over unless he's spending the night. That okay?"
Roxas nodded and Riku returned to the phone. Axel leaned close to Luxord muttering loud enough for the silver-haired teen to hear. "At least it'll save him the trouble of sneaking out later and then climbing out the window to walk through the front door in the morning. Sneaky little bastard-OW! The hell Riku!"
Riku glared at Axel, flipping the red head off. "What?...Oh, I threw something at Axel…He'll be fine, the big baby…Stop lecturing me and just get over here will ya?...You can make the walk without a pb&j…Yes you can…Fine! Just hurry up alright?"
The teen flipped the phone shut and tossed it back to Luxord. "He's coming, he just wants to make a pb&j first."
Axel looked at Roxas. "I know how you feel, this one can't go anywhere without Swedish Fish or an ice cream."
Roxas smacked the back of his head, blushing. Luxord rolled his eyes, turning back to Riku and smiling broadly. "Brilliant. Anyway, you know we'll have to tell Sora about the bet when he gets here."
"Fuck you."
"Oh, would you please? It's been four hours since I saw Demyx. I'd prefer it if I were the one on top though. Do you mind?"
Riku muttered something unintelligible and Roxas laughed. Axel smiled and shuffled the cards.
"So Luxy, why are you still here? It's getting awfully late for you to be with us impressionable teens isn't it? Besides, for you, encouraging us to have sex and then sleeping with one of our friends is a bit of a social no-no isn't it?" Axel teased as he dealt out the cards for a game of Go Fish.
"Alas! Dear Roxas's parents have requested that I, as a responsible adult, stay with him while they're on their weeklong vacation! Though my freedoms have become severely restricted due to this responsibility, I feel honor bound to provide this sweet, loving little boy with support and guidance during their absence," Luxord cried dramatically, sweeping a hand over his eyes.
"You have no honor, Luxord. You cheat," Roxas pointed out. "Besides, giving me pointers for things to do during sex is not the kind of guidance my parents were thinking about when they asked you to stay with me. Riku, have you any 9s?"
"Really? Wouldn't the cheating factor into the poker game, turning it into a forfeit in my favor? Besides, how does encouraging us to fuck each other while sleeping with Demyx, who's more naïve than a class of five year olds, make you responsible? Isn't Demyx still underage?" Riku asked, suddenly more interested in the conversation while he scanned his hand. "Oh, and go fish Roxas. Off with the hoodie.*"
"No, no! You can't get out of it! Besides, I only cheat against good players, which discludes you from the cheats by default. Besides, you guys'll sleep with each other even if we tell you not to, so what's the point in denying it'll happen? It's much easier to give you advice on how to do it well or to play it safe than to tell you not to do it. More fun too," Luxord laughed and wagged his finger at the silver haired teen.
"Shit. Axel? Got any 3s?" Riku asked the pyro without looking up from his hand.
"Damn it! Here. Bastard." Axel handed over his 3 and kicked off a shoe.
*This version of Go Fish is similar to strip poker. If you're told Go Fish, you lose an article of clothing. You get a set, such as four 5's, and you can put something back on.
**Despite all appearances, Riku and Axel don't hate each other. In this story, they're good friends who met because they both knew Sora. They did hate each other before Sora introduced them to each other (to keep some consistency with Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories).
