Denial Club
Riku finished buttoning his blue shirt halfway up, before fastening his belt around his black jeans.
"Riku, to be honest it's a good thing Axel is coming, he's got ID." Commented Sora, coming in fully dressed and running a comb through his spiky hair.
"I guess." Said Riku, flopping onto Sora's bed and closing his eyes. He heard Sora frantically searching for something, knocking something over along the way and hearing the doorbell faintly ring.
"Roxas should get that..." Muttered Sora, spraying something and stomping across the room to pick something up. Riku kept his eyes closed, not too sure what they were going to make of this club they were going to, and it having an age restriction of 18 and over meant that Sora and Roxas especially were going to have to make an effort to look older. Riku heard someone crashing up the stairs, a shocked yell, crash and then some more crashing, a door slamming, laughing and then the door of Sora's room crashing open. Riku reluctantly opened his eyes to see Axel leaning in the door way, his hair looking even more spiked that usual, dressed in a bright orange shirt, practically not buttoned at all, bright yellow jeans and a red leather jacket.
"You look colourful tonight Axel." Said Sora, handing Roxas a can of hairspray who instantly sprayed a cloud of it around his head. Axel smirked, darting his eyes towards Riku, or Riku's body which was still sprawled out across the bed. Riku sighed, bouncing of the bed, and self consciously straightening his shirt, feeling Axel's eyes on him, but refusing to look at him, instead opting to do the idiotic thing of walking out of the room, instantly regretting in when he had to walk under Axel's outstretched arm, Axel's spare hand tracing down his back, to brush over his ass, before returning to checking the spikes on his hair.
"I'll be waiting outside." Said Riku back to the other two, walking down the stairs through Sora's empty house, (his mother was out for the weekend, and his older brother Cloud was also out, conveniently, allowing them to come back whatever time they wanted) to wait outside.
--
Riku shivered slightly, wishing he had brought a jacket. The thought was instantly shook from his mind, when the front door opened and Sora, Roxas and Axel came out, grinning.
"Come on then!" Smiled Sora, shivering in excitement and almost skipping down the quiet street lit with streetlamps.
"Sora, wait up!" Laughed Roxas, smiling at Riku and Axel before surprisingly following Sora's skipping step to join him, the two walking in front.
Riku already knew the arm was going to find it's way around his waist several seconds before it did. Axel casually carried on walking, arm wrapped around Riku, and spare hand shoved in his pocket. Riku let out a small sigh, glancing at Sora and Roxas' backs. At least Axel was keeping him warm. He stared at the ground below him, Axel's step keeping him from crashing into anything. They walked in silence for a while, Sora and Roxas' chit chat vaguely heard over their footsteps.
"Don't talk much do ya?" Whispered Axel, his warm breath tickling Riku's ear violently contrasting with the cold. Riku swallowed, forcing himself to not shiver, an this time it wasn't from the cold. Riku shrugged, Axel pulling him closer and laughing. Riku expected him to say some sort of witty comeback, but didn't hear one, just the echoing steps of Axel's shiny black shoes. Riku looked up, realizing Sora and Roxas had gotten quite far ahead, still chatting. He risked a glance up at Axel, and to Riku's vague surprise, was looking thoughtfully ahead, his bright turquoise glistening from the bright lights of Twilight Town's night. He looked away, back at the floor, wondering why he was still letting Axel wrap his arm around him. Oh yeah, it's because he was cold. Riku snapped out of thought at the sound of Axel's voice, still threateningly close to his ear. "Don't ya get too wrapped up by perves here." Said Axel, lightly pulling Riku to a stop, and unwrapping his arm, walking over to the end of the queue outside of the club. Riku stood staring at the redhead for a minute, before snapping back to the loud buzz of chat, music and the smell of alcohol. He blinked, walking over to the end of the queue behind Axel.
Queuing was always boring, no matter where you were. Axel stood with his back to Riku, tapping his foot to the faint beat of Music, and impatiently waving his ID besides him, muttering something to Roxas every now and then. Riku scowled, cursing at himself at the fact he was slightly pissed of at the fact that Axel was now ignoring him. Why should he care? He hated the redhead. Riku crossed his arms, shivering slightly. The thin shirt he had on did nothing to keep him warm, and did nothing to hide half of his chest, occasionally blowing in the wind to exposed his toned torso, causing several creeps to gaze longingly at his body. He turned away from a particularly effeminate looking blonde man, almost actually licking his lips as his eyes rested around the area of Riku's ass. Riku sighed, quickly stepping forward when the line moved, wishing someone was in between him and the man behind. He looked up at Axel, who still had his back to him. Sora had put red hoodie on, and so had Roxas. They' probably take them off when they got inside. They didn't want to look like ten year olds on the dance floor. Riku swallowed, hanging his head and hoping the line would move soon.
They eventually did manage to get in, after some particularly good acting by Axel, who showed the doorman his ID, explaining how Roxas, Sora and Riku must have left their's at home, after Sora made a very public display of 'trying to find his ID.' Axel then when on telling the doorman all the details of the story, who looked like he couldn't care less, letting them inside.
"Riku!" Shouted Sora through the crowd and the loud, thumping music. "I'm dancing, you coming??" Riku shook his head.
"I'll be a minute, just getting a drink." He said. Sora nodded.
"'Kay! Be careful!!" He said loudly, before disappearing somewhere into crowd. Riku shoved his way through, ignoring the people trying to grind against him, getting to the bar and finding an empty barstool, wondering where Roxas and Axel where. He sighed, ordering an alcoholic drink from the bar man, and looking around the room, the multicolored lights lighting the bobbing heads of the many packed people on the dance floor, the music pounding through his head like a drum. Riku delicately sipped his drink, laughing silently when he caught sight of Sora dancing like a spaz. Draining his drink, he rested his head in his hands. He didn't do dancing, especially with all those creeps trying to get with him. Riku took a deep breath, darting his eyes open when two hands wrapped themselves around him, dragging him off his barstool and over to the dance floor before he could even yell. Riku looked up at the man coldly, coming face to face with Axel, who grinned sweetly at him.
"Come on Rikukins, lets dance." He said, dragging Riku further into the crowd, occasionally losing grip of Riku's hand, resulting in pushing Riku in front of him, hands placed firmly onto the silver teen's hips so that he didn't lose him. Riku scowled, a small part of him relieved that Axel had found him, he pushed the reason why out of his head, the music and alcohol dulling some senses, and heightening others when he felt Axel grind against him, his hands wrapped around his waist. It took Riku a minute to realize that Axel was actually kissing his neck, little hovering kissing, his warm breath dancing over his shoulders, to his earlobes, almost too seductively for Riku's tastes. Riku gritted his teeth together, elbowing Axel's stomach and angrily speeding his way back through the crowd when he had the chance, all the time thinking Axel would grab him any minute and pull him back. Riku pushed his way through the expanse of sweaty bodies, the flashing lights making him feel dizzy as he finally escaped from the crowd, out of the front door where he let out a sigh of relief, sliding down the wall of the back alley, just outside the club, the freezing cold air almost soothing. He closed his eyes, the music from the club still pounding in his ears, his head spinning. He clenched his fists together, lightly hitting his knees. When was Axel gonna get the message?? Riku sighed, frowning, biting his lip, suddenly realizing just how cold it was. He shivered, the thought of just going home crossing his mind, before he heard familiar echoing footsteps coming towards him.
"Go back inside." Sighed Riku, sensing Axel sit down besides him.
"Not until you come back in." Axel replied, lightly prodding Riku in the stomach. "Any creep could pick you up out here." Axel said, leaning back into the wall and letting out an exhausted sigh,
"What, like you?" Snarled Riku. Axel laughed.
"Yeah, like me. You're just too goddamn sexy, you know that?" Axel said, putting his arm around Riku's shoulder. "You're fucking freezing." He said suddenly. Riku shrugged.
"I am?" Axel sighed, standing up and dragging Riku with him, lightly pushing him against the wall before ducking slightly to look him right in the eye.
"Riku get the fuck back in there." He said coldly. Riku sighed.
"I'm going home."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am." Axel sighed, gritting his teeth in annoyance.
"I-"
"Just cos you can practically rape me in there and no one thinks anything of it." Snapped Riku. Axel raised an eyebrow.
"You think I would rape you in there, but not out here?" He said, pointing down the deserted alley. "I think if I wanted to do somethin' other that dance with you, I would have done it already." He said coldly. "Just come back inside." Riku sighed, shivering, and pushing Axel off him, and walking back inside, realizing he had no other choice. Axel smiled at him, surprisingly leaving his body alone and pulling him over to the dance floor, shoving Riku into the arms of a girl, muttering something a long the lines off "No sex for you tonight." before disappearing himself. Riku gazed at the spot where the redhead had disappeared, halfheartedly dancing with the girl, unable to shake the thought of Axel from his head. After a boring ten minutes, he shoved the girl away, heading back over to the bar.
--
Riku had spent another two hours at the bar before they left, getting chatted up by several men, one of which being the blonde man he saw at the start of the night. He managed to tell them to all fuck off, sulking at the bar.
The four of them now lay sprawled in the darkness of Sora an Roxas' living room, unsurprisingly the twins has fallen asleep, sprawled across the sofa with a duvet hanging limply off of them. Riku lay wide away, his sleeping bag wrapped around him while he listened to Sora snoring.
"Hey, slinky, you awake?" Riku jumped at the sound of Axel's voice, thinking he had been sleeping.
"Slinky?" He muttered, not bothering to move. Axel chuckled, his voice surprisingly soft from trying to not wake the other two, although the state that they were in, Riku didn't think anything would.
"It suits you." He whispered. Riku frowned, turning over, shocked at how close Axel actually was, he could have sworn he was over at the other side of the room a minute ago. Axel smiled, his head inches away from Riku's. Riku sniffed, the frown back on his face.
"When are you going to get it, Axel?"
"Get what?" Smirked Axel. "You've come out..." He said slowly, raising an eyebrow. "Haven't you?" Riku sighed, watching Axel's hand unzip his sleeping bag.
"No.." Riku said, causing Axel to smirk as he placed his arm over Riku, scooting closer to him so Riku couldn't see anything apart from Axel's face.
"Come on Riku, you're too cool to care what people think." Riku rolled his eyes, Axel studying Riku's face with some kind of happy calculating look. "Am I just not your type, Riku?" He whispered, raising an eyebrow. Riku blinked, frowning.
"...No I'm not-."
"Really?"
"Yes." Riku thought about what he had just said. He knew he didn't really have a type. He knew he wasn't gay, and he knew there was something about Axel he didn't like...Riku thoughts skidded to a violent stop when Axel kissed him. A soft, sweet kiss gracing Riku's lips, lasting for a few seconds before Axel pulled away, smirking.
"You're my type." He said quietly. Riku swallowed, his gaze involuntarily darted towards Axel's lips. That seemed to be just the sign Axel was looking for, who pounced onto Riku, in a breathtaking kiss, dragging the teen out of his sleeping bag and shoving his tongue into his mouth. Riku wrapped his legs around Axel's bare torso, clinging onto his shoulders, digging his nails into Axel's back, who didn't seem to notice as hastily tugged Riku's shorts down, lightly biting his lip and traveling his hands down towards-
Riku snapped out of his tired, drunken state, realizing just what was happening. He angrily pushed Axel off him, the redhead being caught off guard and flying across the room with a small thud. He snapped his head up to dart annoyed questions at Riku, but could only get "What-hell?" Out before Riku angrily stormed across the living room, slamming the door behind him. Axel muttered something, standing up and following Riku out, running upstairs to find Riku sat on Sora's bed, hands clenched on the duvet, his face fixed in thought.
"...Come on slinky.." Axel said quietly, walking over to the bed and lightly sitting down, Riku refusing to acknowledge Axel's existence. "...I shouldn't have-"
"Shut the fuck up." Hissed Riku. "Get it into your thick little head that I am not into you." Riku snapped out the words, glaring at the duvet beneath him, legs crossed and hands still clenched into the duvet. "I'm not gay. I never have been. I like girls, you-"
"Woah slinky you've got some serious denial issues going on- FUCK!" Axel cursed when Riku's fist hit his jaw, angrily gritting his teeth at him. "You little twat." Snapped Axel quietly, narrowing his eyes and rubbing his jaw. Riku continued to glare at him.
"Stay the fuck away from me." Axel looked at him, his jaw already slightly bruised. His gaze traveled over Riku for a few seconds, the silence slightly unnerving the silver haired teen.
"I'd hit you back if you weren't such a childish shit." Axel said cooley, glaring at Riku and slowly standing from the bed, cursing at him, before silently stepping out of the room, slamming the door behind him.
The door slam seemed to echo in Riku's already pounding head for what seemed like forever. He swallowed, burying himself under the covers, and slamming his head onto the pillow, refusing to let what had just happened get to him, as he tried to fall asleep.
