Roxas slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He realized he'd fallen asleep in his clothes after talking to Axel the night before. He chuckled, he felt a bit silly. He got out of bed and went into the bathroom. He locked the doors, had a shower and finished his early morning routine before heading back into his bedroom to change his clothes. The blond was ready within twenty minutes, he checked the clock which read 10:30am and left the comfort of his bedroom to check on Sora.
He walked down the hallway to find Sora curled up on the couch. He was changed into his pajama's, with a fleece blanket over him. His pillow was disposed of on the floor, and he was clutching onto the remote control. The tv was on, the audio quite loud. He wondered how he'd been able to sleep. He pryed the remote from his brother's hand and turned the TV off.
"Morning Rox. Breakfast is ready."
He heart raced as he quickly turned around, he hadn't expected Hayner to be up, and was most definatly not expecting for him to say something after being quiet for that long. He hadn't noticed him, or Seifer seated at the diningroom table. Roxas replied politley and leaned over the couch, shaking Sora awake. He let him know there was food, and left to go serve Sora and himself, and placed the plates at the table. Sora joined them, and the meal was rather silent but peaceful. Roxas finished first, and took his plate into the kitchen to rinse it and place it in the dishwasher.
"So Roxas, what are your plans for today?"
"I don't really have any. I'd like Sora to get checked into the hospital right away, I know he's not experiencing much pain right now but we really should get him looked at. But that's about it. I think I'll just stay at the hospital with him for most of the day."
"Oh, okay. Mind if I tag along? Seifer has to work," he shot a playful glare to his lover "and I'd rather not spend the entire day with the rest of the gang."
"Um, sure. Sora, you'd better get ready as soon as your finished."
"Okay, but can I please call Riku before we leave? I didn't get the chance to yesterday."
"Sure, I wouldn't mind talking to Axel either if they're together."
"....They're together?" Sora's eyes widened, and he looked down sadly.
Roxas held back a laugh "Sora, not dating, just hanging out. Like they usually do? and I'm sure you'd like to talk to Demyx, too."
"DEMS!" Sora squealed, and Roxas laughed in response, they left the conversation at that.
The rest of the morning went by quickly and quietly. Seifer left after breakfast, Sora went to get ready while Roxas grabbed the phone and went into his room and called Axel. He smiled when he picked up, but it was soon wiped off his face once he heard the other end of the phone.
"Axel-kun, I don't see why you date that blond little prick. Especially long distance... you can do so much better now that he's gone. I've only heard so much about him, and he sounds like a little bitch to me." Roxas overheard an unknown female voice. He was confused, someone picked up the phone.. why didn't they say anything? He heard someone else laugh and agree, and his eyes narrowed.
"Alex, you're right. Anyway, at least Riku knows better. Now he has two girlfriends, and a boyfriend." Another female replied to the first. Roxas didn't say anything, he listened closely, his heart breaking with each word. Axel was there, and he wasn't saying anything. Were one of the two voices he heard his new girlfriend? When only last night he said he'd never fall in love with anyone else. He couldn't believe it, but his mind kept doubting Axel.
"He's such a player, but I don't care. She's hot, he's hot, I'm hot. Anyway, find out who it is on the line."
"Hello?"
Roxas paused as one of the female voices had responded to him "Um, hi. Sorry, I think I have the wrong number." He hung up the phone and fought back tears. He hucked the device to the edge of the bed, and it fell off onto the floor. He threw himself into the pillow and started to cry.
------------
Sora knocked on the door, and when there was no reply he opened it slowly. It had been a half hour since he'd finished getting ready, and he was waiting paitently to talk to Riku. He saw his older brother lying on the bed, his face in the pillows. It sounded like he was crying, and Sora moved in to sit on the bed. "Roxas? Roxas what's wrong?" He watched as Roxas lifted himself from the pillows. He looked like he'd been crying for some time. Sora wrapped his arms around his brother, soothing him while whispering words of comfort.
"Sora... you need to call Riku and break up with him. Right now." Roxas whispered back inbetween sobs.
"What? Why? I love him Roxas...like you love Axel. Why're you crying?"
"No... I don't love Axel. I don't love him at all anymore. Sora.. we're both being cheated on..." Roxas continued, wiping his tears. Sora sat in disbelief, then joined his brother in tears, and they both sat together on the bed crying for another short while.
----------
After the two calmed down, although they were both still crying lightly. They talked about breaking up with their boyfriends. They would offer support for each other, and they'd do it at the same time. It never occured to them about over reacting, they were both upset and hated the other two right now. "Sora, could you hand me the phone please?" Sora sat up and picked the phone up from the floor, and brought it back to the bed, handing it to his brother.
"Thanks." Roxas turned the phone on, and enabled speakerphone. He dialed Axel's house number and waited for the phone to pick up. Sora glanced at the clock, and noticed it was around 12:00pm. They both heard Axel's voice.
"Hey Roxas."
"Hi Axel, Sora's here too." Roxas bit out.
"Leave me alone."
"What?" Roxas glared, he didn't care if the readhead couldn't see him.
"Sorry Roxas, not you. Anyway, are you alright you sound really upset."
"Yeah, I am. Sora is too."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Roxas fought saying 'You.' he breathed in deeply, clearing his thoughts to control his anger. "Ask your girlfriend," He said angrily "asshole." he added on.
"Roxas, what are you talking about?"
"Don't fuck around Axel. I called you earlier and I heard your girlfriend and Riku's,"
Roxas was cut off by Axel, who sounded rather annoyed. "Hold on, Rox." They both heard Axel yelling at someone. "Sorry Rox, anyway, Riku's here now too. You're on speaker. and what are you talking about? I love you Rox, I wouldn't cheat on you."
"Good. and stop calling me 'Rox.' you and your stupid pet names are really starting to piss me off. Anyway, don't fuck around. I overheard your girlfriend and Riku's talking when I called earlier. I thought you loved me Axel, I trusted you not to cheat on me. This is why I didn't want to go long distance, I knew this would happen." Roxas tried to fight back his tears, but couldn't help let a few drops fall down his cheek.
Sora leaned forward to wrap his arms around his brother. "Riku..." Sora pleaded, wanting an explination. He didn't want to let him go. Roxas stopped him, knowing that Riku would be able to win Sora back easily.
"We don't want to talk to either of you again, leave us alone and have fun with your girlfriends. I hate you, Axel. We're done."
"I'm sorry Riku, I can't do this..we are too." Sora said quickly and sadly before Roxas hung up the phone, not giving the other two a chance to talk.

"Roxas! Wait!" Axel tried, but he had already hung up the phone. He glared at Riku, then left the room, storming downstairs. He glared viciously at the two sluts in his room "Did anyone call this morning?" He bit out angrily.
"Yeah, some guy. Said he had the wrong number."
Axel's glare hardened as he walked over to the two "No. He didn't. That was my boyfriend. Get the hell out of my house, and don't ever come back here. I don't care if Riku invites you. Leave. Now."
The two girls were in no position to argue, as Axel could kill them in a moment. They got up from the couch as the one who was particularily attracted to Axel turned around "Fine, just means you won't get laid tonight cutie. Sorry you're upset, and I know you'll apologize later. Love you hunny." the two left after that.
Axel took a pillow from the couch and threw it across the room, he loud out a scream of frustration and layed down on the couch. 'Fuck. Roxas is already mad at me..What did those two say...'he layed on the couch in thought for a moment. He remembered that he had called home earlier.. and Alex had been trying to get him to break up with Roxas. 'FUCK.' He heard Riku leave, and afterward got up and stormed up the stairs. He was stopped by Zexion who happened to hear the entire conversation.
"Where are you going?"
"Twilight Town. I need to see Roxas and sort this out. He won't pick up if I even try to call him, so if it means flying over to him then so be it."
They heard a plate drop from in the kitchen. Zexion and Axel looked over the railing to the kitchen, seeing a horrified Demyx in the doorway. "A-Axel... you're not leaving..." tears formed up in his eyes "...are you?"
"Demyx.." Axel felt his heart break with the way his friend was looking at him. "I'd just go to sort it out, and bring them back to us."
Demyx shook his head, the tears spilling from his eyes. He covered his face and ran out of the house, sobbing.
"Axel if you can still leave after that," Zexion bit out before continuing down the stairs after his boyfriend.
"Zex, let me handle it. I'm not heartless." He ran down the stairs and ran after Demyx.
He found him on the doorstep, crying. Axel felt his heart break, he felt terrible. Roxas had just dumped him, he'd probably got Riku and Zexion mad at him, and he'd hurt Demyx. He sat down next to the blond and wrapped a comforting arm around his shoulder. "Listen, Dem..."
"Don't 'Dem' me!" he ordered angrily through his tears. Axel winced as he remembered Roxas saying something along the lines of that. "Go to your precious Roxas, I don't care anymore. But if you leave then Zexion will probably start cutting himself again soon, and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it! Roxas and Sora are already gone, Riku's distancing himself from us, you're going to leave..." he broke down again into more sobs "and Zexy might leave me too. I don't want to be alone. Sora's sitting in Twilight Town thinking that all is fine and dandy, while everything's falling apart here and Riku's cheating on him! So many girls..." He covered his mouth with his hands in horror at everything he had said, but there was truth to it. He'd walked in on Riku and some girl going at it, he'd sworn not to tell a soul. He'd never seen that girl again. (A/N)
Axel nodded and hugged him "Dem, listen to me. I won't leave right now, but I might have to. I love Roxas, and he means a lot to me. You, Zexion and Riku do too. Riku's not really any of our friends anymore though. Don't cry, I'm not leaving you. If I go, you and Zexy can come if you want, alright? I won't let you be alone, everything will be okay and I won't let us fall apart anymore, I'll fix this... But I do need to try to smooth things over with Roxas. Demyx... please understand I'm head over heels for him.. I want to be with him forever...I've considered asking him to marry me."
Demyx smiled and hugged him back at his words. "I know you love Roxas...and I'm sorry for over reacting. I was just really upset about everything falling apart since they left and I want to help you get him back, because I have a feeling deep down, that he loves you enough to marry you Axel."
Axel opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted when a girl with huge breasts and small clothing, hardly enough to cover her body, came up to them. "Hey boys, guy named Riku here?" She asked.
"Sorry, he left a while ago."
"Oh. Shame. He asked me out on the town tonight, we were going to go out to a club, and have some fun later if you know what I mean." she winked. "Anyway. If he comes back or calls, let him know Janice was here."
"Sure." Demyx smiled, rather fakely, but enough to fool her.
"Thanks dolls. Oh, by the way, you two are a very cute couple." She smiled and walked away.
Axel chuckled, and the two sat there and made fun of the slutty girl for a few minutes before they got up and went inside. Axel had stayed downstairs to watch TV, and Demyx made his way up the stairs to practice his Sitar in his room. That's when the idea hit him of how he could patch things up between Axel and Roxas. He reached over and took his cellphone from the bedside table, and called Sora.

Roxas let out a sigh, already missing Axel. He forced his thoughts of him to the back of his mind, and he felt the bed shift as Sora left the room. He could hear him crying, but he figured that he would want to be alone for a while. He debated taking him to the hospital, and decided to wait another little while until Sora had calmed down. Besides, Sora had only been in a bit of pain since they arrived. He grabbed his wallet, apartment keys and cell phone and the landline, and headed back to the kitchen to place it on the charger. "Guys, going out for a while. I'll be back later." he called, and didn't get a response. He shrugged it off and left the house, he needed to walk.
The minute he was free from the apartment his mind raced, and part of him was begging him to call Axel back and listen to his explination. He was so angry at him, just last night he said he'd never fall in love with anyone else. He knew it was a lie, but part of him trusted the redhead, and in the end his heart got shattered. But not once did he regret dating him. But this meant he wasn't taken, and if it leaked out to Pence he was out of the closet, it meant trouble. He felt his cell phone go off and took it out of his pocket, not bothering to look at the caller id, and he regretted it the minute he heard the voice on the other end of the line "Hello?"
"Roxas, please just listen. I have an explanation."
"No, Axel. I'm sick of your lies. You said you love me, and you lied."
"Roxas, I never lied.. I love you Roxas. Please just listen to me."
"I don't want to listen to it anymore, Axel. Stop telling me lies, just leave me alone." He fought back the tears stinging his eyes, trying to hold them back. He didn't care if they were in his eyes, as long as no more tears were cried over the redhead, he didn't care.
"Roxas..."
"No."
"Please Roxas, just let me explain.I know you're mad at me, but Roxas I love you. Please just listen to me, just trust me."
"I can't. I won't. You broke my heart Axel...I knew I should have just called it quits when I left." Roxas had no idea why he hadn't hung up yet, he couldn't bring himself to do it. The voice was hurtful, the pain in his heart made him feel like dying, and yet... that same voice made it go away. He felt so alone.
"I'll let you calm down, Roxas. Please call me soon, when you can talk to me. I'll wait for you Roxas, because I love you."
He broke down in tears, he fell to his knees on the ground. He started to sob, "A-Axel..."
"Roxas, please don't cry."
"I...I don't w-want to.. but... I guess it's what I g-get for l-l-letting..." he sobbed again, wiping the tears from his eyes as he clutched at his heart. "for being able to t-trust you. For letting you.. p-pretend that you love me... for actually loving you. Leave me a-alone..." he hung up the phone and stayed there for a moment, crying. He tried to get up a few times, but could never muster the strength to stay standing against his tears. He always fell back down.
He managed after eight tries to finally stand up. He found the strength when he realized Sora needed to be in the hospital, that he was back at the apartment waiting for him. He was crying, too. He needed Roxas, and he had to be strong for his brother. Roxas couldn't break down, he'd have to let go of... him. He couldn't think about him, he would find the few scattered pieces of his shattered heart, the ones that he didn't have anymore...and he would move on. He wouldn't cry anymore after today, Roxas would be strong. He would let go, but his heart would still belong to him.
He had finally made it back to the room, where he found Hayner at the doorway getting his shoes on "Uh, Rox... I was just about to come get you and take Sora to the hospital. Are you okay? You look horrible."
"Please don't call me 'Rox.' anymore. And, Is he ready?" Roxas ignored Hayner's comment on him.
Sora came down the hallway to the door, he looked horrible. Worse than Roxas looked, he was sure. Sora had never looked so... broken. He was limping down the hallway, his hand clutching at his heart. His face was red, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Roxas avoided looking straight into his gaze, he knew that there was nothing but agony and tears. Roxas made his way over to his brother and wrapped his arms around him. Sora immideatly fell onto his brother, clinging to him "Why..."
"Shh, Sora. It's okay." He comforted, and held his brother while he cried.
Hayner had walked over to the pair and placed a comforting hand on Sora's shoulder, which Roxas was expecting to get shrugged off. But Sora left it there, he cried until he fell asleep, and Roxas knew his brother really did need him.
"We should go. We'll take the car."
"The hospitals on the outskirts of town, right?"
"Not really. Twilight Town isn't very big, and the hospital is about halfway to Hollow Bastion, it's at least an hour's drive, if the traffic is okay."
"Well, we don't have to worry about getting out of Town, no one uses their cars."
"Less than half the people actually own cars."
Roxas lifted Sora into his arms, bridal style. He carried him out to Hayner's car and put him in the backseat, and got in next to him. He buckled himself in, then moved Sora so his head was resting on his lap, and he was stretched out on the seat.
"What happened after I left?"
"Sora just cried... then he got a phonecall, and he was happy for a bit. Then I don't really know... he was in pain again, and started to cry."
"Do you know who called?"
"Sounded like the guy you two were talking about earlier."
"Demyx?"
"Yeah."
Authors Note(s): Well, this was written in two days, and covers two chapters! I'm guessing that because I'm adding length, and about two chapters to each, that this will be anywhere from 6-10 chapters. Guys! This is the --real-- story line and what it was originally going to be, I really am falling in love with this again xD Um.. is this going too fast?
(A/N1): Okay.. so basically Riku's cheating on Sora with three girls. However, one of them met Axel and fell in love with him, so it's down to two. The three girls' names are Janice, Brittany and Alex. Alex is the one attracted to Axel, and Brittany was talking to Alex earlier. Janice made her appearance last. Axel dosen't fully know that Riku was sleeping with the two, he knew he'd flirted with them and stuff, but not slept with. In short: Riku's a major player xD The three girls are aware that they're dating Riku at the same time, it's a foursome thing, but Alex isn't so active in it anymore due to trying to get Axel. Sorry if that's confusing..
