Hi guys! I'm really sorry for the wait. I was busy with school and I was updating another one of my fanfics. But now it's spring break! I have tons of time on my hands, and it's only the first day! So I promise I will be updating more this week since I don't have school. Anyways, enjoy chapter 2! 3

Chapter 2

Roxas walked with Axel up the stairs of the apartment complex, their wet clothes clinging to their every move. The blonde boy couldn't help but glance at the other boy's ass every few seconds while they were going up the stone stairs. When they reached the top they shuffled to the door on the right, Axel shoving his hand in his pocket for his keys. He opened the door and they both walked in, the sudden feel of air conditioning causing them both to shiver from the cold.

"The shower is in the room over there," Axel pointed out a door down the small hallway, "and I have some clean towels in the cupboard above the toilet. You can shower first." He smiled at him gleefully.

Roxas was still quite shocked, but he was making an effort to not show the emotion in front of the redhead. How could a stranger be so nice? Honestly! This guy was the first person to ever be this nice to him. Roxas smiled to himself, enjoying the feeling of someone being so kind to him. It didn't happen often. His uncle was a total asshole who didn't give a fuck about what happened to him. All he did was drink, smoke pot and order Roxas around. Roxas didn't even bother coming home most of the time. He just wandered the streets until midnight a lot, then go home to his uncle throwing things at him and yelling about how he should just go die like his parents. Every time the older man mentioned the death of his parents it really struck a nerve. That's when Roxas would yell back instead of just taking the abuse. Then he would storm off to his room and blast up his music to drown out his thoughts.

The blonde quickly walked to the bathroom after thanking Axel. He stripped and turned on the hot water. He stepped into the shower, letting the water pour over his bruised up body. He closed his eyes, enjoying the feel of it. He smiled to himself again, thinking how lucky he was to randomly bump into Axel. The redhead really was kind, thoughtful, caring and extremely sexy as fuck. He hoped his presence that night wasn't going to annoy Axel. He really wanted the tall guy to like him.

He finished up his shower and dried himself off, finding a few articles of clothing for him ontop of the sink counter. He put on the clothes and walked out to see Axel sitting on the couch watching TV. Axel looked up at the sound of Roxas shutting the door behind him.

"Hey," Axel greeted, smiling that signature smile at him. Axel seemed to already have changed clothes. "You ready to sleep? Because you look like you're about to fall over from exhaustion," Axel laughed. Roxas smiled at him.

"Yeah man. I've been wandering around all night so I guess I'm pretty damn tired." He yawned for emphasis. Axel led him to his small guest room and said that's where he could sleep. Roxas nodded.

"Anything else ya need?" Roxas shook his head, smiling up at Axel.

"Everything's fine. Thanks so much for letting me stay. This is just crazy," he laughed. Axel laughed with him.

" It's no problem Rox. Mind if I call you that?" He winked at him. Roxas's cheeks flushed a little.

"I don't mind. Well I'll see ya in the morning…Ax," Roxas smirked. Axel smiled and walked out of the room. Roxas sighed and flopped on the soft bed. He was most obviously developing a crush on Axel. Big time. He blushed as he thought of the way the redhead moved his hips when he walked. He giggled at the obsurdity of himself acting like a small school boy.

He quickly fell asleep, dreaming of nothing. Like usual.

Roxas awoke to Axel shaking his shoulder. He jolted up, smacking their heads together. They both fell back groaning.

"Shit that hurt…" Roxas grumbled. Axel chuckled. "We have school, don't we? Mother fucker. I hate that damn place."

"C'mon. It's not too bad. It's just…bad." They both giggled and Roxas sat up for school. "Get dressed and do the usual. I have a spare toothbrush in the drawer in the restroom." Roxas nodded and thanked him once again as he made his way to the restroom, not bothering with breakfast. He brushed his teeth and brushed his hair, which didn't do much since his hair naturally spikes. He went back to the guest room to find his jeans cleans and one of Axel's shirts layed out for him. He pulled everything on quickly, Axel's shirt slightly baggy on him since he's so short and tiny. He ran out to Axel who was waiting by the door for him.

"Ready to go?" Axel asked. Roxas smiled and nodded and they headed down the road. "Sorry I don't have a car. I usually just walk places," Axel said.

"It's no problem. I don't have a car either," Roxas said, jumping off the curb ledge like a little kid. Axel chuckled and they stopped by a coffee shop next to the high school. Once they had their coffee they walked across the street and hung out until the first bell rang. They said their goodbyes and made their way to their first class. Axel jogged down to the last hall since his class was on the other side of the huge school. Roxas's class was right down the hall from where they were chatting so he didn't have much to worry about. That is, until he heard that stinging voice behind him.

"Sup fag?" The voice dripped with venom, spatting the last word. Roxas groaned. He turned around to see Xigbar standing with Lexaeus.

"Hello mentally ill neanderthaws," Roxas sneered. "I suppose you're both here to torment me for my sexuality?" Both guys just glared at him. Lexaeus grabbed Roxas's upper arm and pulled them outside behind the athletics halls. Roxas winced at the pain that shot up his arm.

"You better shut the fuck up you fucking fag. You're disgusting," Xigbar hissed, throwing a punch to Roxas's stomach. Roxas choked on his own spit, squeezing his eyes shut. "Nobody gives a shit about you, ya know that? We all want you to die. So just go kill yourself already. Everybody fucking hates you." Another kick. Roxas never answered them. They continued to kick and punch the shit out of him until he bled tons. When they were satisfied with their work they walked off leaving Roxas kneeling in a puddle of his red liquid. He sat there for a while, contemplating whether he should just leave or go to class. Someone calling his name interrupted his thoughts.

"Roxas?" It was Axel.
