All eyes were on him. His hips rolling and swaying to the beat of the Spanish song. His blonde hair glittering in the firelight and his blue eyes sparkling in amusement at the awe in everyone's stances as they watched him. He laughed knowing how he looked. He cut his eyes at a stranger in the crowd, the only one to stand out to him in the crowd.

Hair the color of the reddest fire and eyes of electric green, the stranger was beautiful in a dangerous alluring way. The red haired stranger stared right back at him. His eyes glowing with such intensity it sent chills down his spine but it felt wonderful.

The blonde bowed as the song finished and made his way through the crowd where the stranger stood keeping their eyes locked the entire time. He finally reached the stranger and found himself trembling in excitement. "You were watching me..." Even to his own ears, his voice sounded breathless and soft. He could see the stranger's eyes flashing in amusement and his lips quirking into a smirk. He hummed as the stranger put his hands on hsi hips and pulled him forward to close the gap between them.

"Maybe I was... The name's Axel. Got it memorized?" The stranger's voice was deep and rumbling and absolutely perfet. It practically purred every word.

The blonde shivered in his arms and nodded, "Yeah, I got it. Mine's Roxas. It's a ...pleasure to meet you." He leaned against the man relaxing at the warmth that seemed to radiate off of him. "Now, why were you watching me I wonder." He smiled teasing the man as he brushed his fingers against red head's arms.

Axel lifted the blonde's chin with on of his long fingers, "How could I not? You were the star of the night." He bent down close to Roxas's ear and whispered, "Who could resist watching such a display?" He chuckled as the blonde shivered in pleasure at the hot air on his neck, "How would you like dinner with me tomorrow?" He was amused as the wide blue eyes turned a little darker.

Roxas moved from the red head's grip and smirked playfully, "Now, now, I'm not that easy. You'll have to try harder than that to get me to go with you, Axel." He laughed as the red head quirked an eyebrow, "I've been asked out many times, but you are the first to interest me in a while. Keep trying, and I just might say yes." He walked off towards the exit of the luau laughing at the expression on the red head's face.

"Roxas Strife, where the hell have you been?!" The blonde rolled his eyes as he faced his over protective asshole brother. "You should have been back hours ago! Well? Aren't you going to say anything?" Deeming it safe to actually enter the house then, the blonde moved to sit on the couch but his brother's foot blocked him, "Stand up and tell me."

Roxas slid his hands into his pockets and slouched glaring at his brother, "I was out. That's all you need to know. I'm 17, not 10. You don't need to watch me like a dog." He glared at his brother harder as his brother ignored his words. He rolled his eyes, "Whatever. I'm going to bed." He stormed upstairs and slammed his door, "Dumb ass just had to ruin my night." He curled up and slept dreaming of the red headed stranger named Axel.

He could only watch the little blonde as he walked away. His eyes drawn like magnets to his swaying hips kept wandering. The boy was beautiful and innocent looking, but there was something behind all that coy play and smiles. The red head smirked as he watched the blonde disappear in the distance, "I think I'll take you up on that offer." He looked across the crowd but couldn't find anything to occupy his interest. The blonde had made his mark in his mind.

He sulked a little as he headed home. The only downside to the night was coming home to hear his brother and his brother's boyfriend going at it for hours on end. He sighed in relief as he walked in the door because everything was quiet. Just as he was aout to let his guard down, he heard his brother, "And where have you been?" He cursed silently as he entered the kitchen.

He jerked back seeing his brother's rumpled appearance. His clothes were dirty, his eyes were puffy and bloodshot, and his hands were shaking. "Reno, what happened? Is it your boyfriend?" He could see he hit the mark when his brother winced and nodded, "What'd he do? I thought you were topping him?" He decided to shut up when his brother glared.

"He... He said he's uncomfortable not knowing you. He says he wants to meet my famous brother, but how can he do that when I don't even know where you are half the time? So when I brought up his little brothers, he looked ready to cry. I made him almost cry, Axel." He shook his head clearing it as he looked into brother's eyes, "Axel, I...I can't keep not knowing where you are, if you're safe, or any of that. It makes me realize just how much I've fucked up in raising you when I see just how much we're both gone."

The younger red head looked down feeling ashamed, "I just wanted to be out of the way. I didn't mean to piss you off." He kicked at the floor with his shoes feeling like dirt now. His night had turned to absolute shit.

Reno shook his head, "Yo, stop it. It's cool, but I want to talk to you about something important." He waited for Axel to looked up before continuing, "You know how we've been talking about getting out of this house. Well, I've found us a place. He wants us to move in with him and his brother. You'll have your own room and bathroom and even a room just for your electronics. It's only ten minutes away. We'll be closer to the school, and maybe you can befriend his little brothers possibly even date one of them." He watched as his brother blushed a little and laughed, "Yeah, I know your gay. I've known since that time you about broke your neck checking out some little freshman last year."

Axel grinned, "Fine, but you won't believe what happened tonight while I was out..." He told him all about the little blonde leaving out his name but telling him everything else. He sighed leaning on his arm against the table, "Reno, he was perfect."

The older red head chuckled ruffling his little brother's hair, "I'm sure he was. So you like blonde's. We are alike then."
