"You sure you have everything you need?"
"Yes Mom. I'm sure."
"Xion did you pack..."
"Mom! It's not that time yet!"
"Oh, sorry sweetie. Sora, did you..."
"Yes Mom. I even packed a few extra pairs of underwear." Their mom laughed. "You guys know me so well." Roxas sighed. At this rate they would be unpacking well into the party. Or rather he would be unpacking into the party. He smiled up at his mom. "We are only going to be a few miles away. We can walk back if we forget something or if Xion starts early." He dodged the elbow jab from his raven haired sister. "Alright...well you guys have fun ok? Oh, is that Riku now?" They looked out the window to see Riku pull into the drive. "Yep, see ya Mom!" With a kiss and a hug, they each piled into the car. "Thank God you came! Mom was even making me anxious. I don't get anxious!" The sliver haired boy laughed at the darkest haired person in the car. "Of course not. Well, who's ready for a party?"
With the music drifting up from down the stairs, Roxas sighed. He was, of course, left with the unpacking. He didn't see why though. Going into the room that was going to be Xion's he started to quickly put her things away. "That doesn't look pleasant." Roxas jumped and turned around. Behind him was Axel. Roxas took a moment to look him up and down. Wow. Wearing a green shirt and some tight pants he looked like a god. To Roxas at least. Under Roxas's intense scrutiny, the red head started fidgeting. "Is there something wrong with my clothes?" The blonde blinked and blushed. He didn't mean to be staring. "N-no. Nothing is wrong with your clothes...except well." He walked over to Axel and straightened out his shirt, seeing as it was really crooked. "There." He mumbled, his face red. Axel laughed. "Thanks. Hey, did you want a drink?" Looking at his hands the blonde saw that there were two drinks in them. Smiling, he took one and downed it. The warmth of it has him gasping afterwards. He always forgot how much it burned on the way down. Axel laughed at the spluttering Roxas. "Can you hold your liquor?" Roxas glared at him. That made the pyro laugh harder. Roxas snatched the other drink from his hand and downed that one too. This time he barely gasped. Axel cocked his head a bit to the side and a slow smile began to spread across his face. "Come on." He grabbed the blonde's wrist and dragged him down the stairs.
A chaotic scene met the blonde. There were twelve others besides the usual people that he hung out with and the one still holding on to his wrist. They were all dancing and some were even paired up with some of the older ones there. "Demyx!" A dirty blonde looked up and waved. Around his waist were the arms of a man with an eye patch. "Who's with that boy?" Roxas yelled. "Xigbar. He teaches math. Not a person to get on his bad side. He is deadly good with guns..." Roxas gulped. He didn't know how Xion would survive his class. Axel pulled him to where Riku was serving the drinks from his home bar. "Hey Roxas. Glad you could finish in time." The blonde grimaced. "I didn't get done. This guy dragged me down here." Riku grinned at the pyro. "Good man! Now, do you two want something to drink?" They both nodded and Riku set out a couple of beers. "Have fun!"
~A few hours later~
"Cya! Have a good night!" Riku shut the door. "Phew, I never thought I would be glad to have a party simmer down." Sora giggled drunkenly. Roxas smiled. There were still like ten people there. Xion spoke up. "How about we play spin the bottle. Only rules are...no siblings. Same gender allowed." Some people groaned but others laughed. They all agreed to do it. Namine volunteered to go first. Getting everyone into a shaky circle she knelt and spun the bottle. It spun weakly but pointed at Kairi. Giggling she spun it again and it landed pointing at Xion. Smiling slyly, the raven haired girl went over and captured the blone's lips with hers. After several seconds, Namine went back and blushed. Xion grinned and went back into her place. Namine, still blushing motioned for someone else to spin. Riku grabbed the bottle and spun it around. It pointed at Kairi again. "Wow, you must be a magnet or something." Riku commented before giving her a fleeting kiss on the mouth. Smiling slightly, Kairi spun it this time. It pointed at Hayner. "Well, looks like it's my turn to kiss her." He said. Roxas cat called while Sora whooped. Standing up and turning around, he lifted his arms up. Turning around, he was met with Kairi, waiting there, her arms folded across her chest. He put his hand on the back of his head and looked away. She smiled and kissed him. Fully red, Hayner grinned at Kairi before taking his place.
"Aw, come on! I want to see some boy on boy action." Axel snickered at the other red head and spun the bottle. This time it landed on Roxas. Blinking, the blonde looked up. Axel looked equally suprised but pleased at the same time. Roxas got up a little shakily and wobbled to the middle of the circle. Axel stood up fluidly and walked easily to meet him there. Roxas blushed. "Are you nervous?" The blonde shook his head and blushed deeper. "Good." Roxas felt his head going up and closed his eyes. When his lips touched his, it was almost as though he was being shocked. Axel jerked away and growled at the window. Looking over, he saw another blonde girl smirking. Pointing at Axel's shirt, she mimed putting something on. Axel looked down and tched. "Larxene, you are going to pay for that!" The pyro leaped over the circle and out the door.
As it turned out, Larxene had a bigger head start. He came back to the house; his hair messed up from running. Kairi looked around for a second before getting up. "It's getting late. Namine and I should be getting home." Riku gave her a long look. "I didn't drink anything! That was her." She pointed to her blonde sister who was dozing on Xion's shoulder. Riku looked at her for several more seconds before smiling slightly. "Ok, but let Hayner follow you home. He didn't drink anything either. Actually, none of you Twilight Academy kids drank anything...except, well, Roxas." Olette laughed. "We were taught not to. It's just habit. Come on, Pence, we need to get going too." Pence nodded and smiled at the rest of them. "See you guys later." Waving good bye, five of their number left. Leaving five with nothing to do. "Well, I am going to bed. Are you staying Axel?" He shrugged. "I don't know. If Riku doesn't mind." The silver haired boy shook his head. "Not at all. You are just going to have to share with Roxas. Sora is going to share with me." Smiling down at the sleeping burnette, he picked him up. "Night everyone." Xion and the boys went upstairs.
Roxas started to pick things up. "Why do you clean?" Roxas looked up at the red head. He sat down from where he was kneeling on the floor. "Huh...I don't actually know." Axel went to go sit down next to him. Together they surveyed the damage. Things were strewn everywhere and Roxas thought he saw a pack of condoms thrown to the side, leading to the bathroom. Frowning, he vowed to never, ever, go into that room again. Axel followed his gaze and chuckled quietly. "That's Marly. Vexen is big on "protection", so that's why they are there. See, can you smell the cherry blossoms? That sirta strong, sickly sweet smell? His signature scent that he wears constantly." Roxas gagged slightly. He was sure it was probably because probably because of how much he drank, but he was sure it wasn't going to make him pass out...or at least he thought not.
He felt Axel scoot closer. Looking at the stairs, he flushed a light pink. "You know...pink isn't your color. A bright red would do wonders for you." Smiling slightly, he turned to find Axel's face right up close to his own. Only one thought went through the blonde's mind. How would it feel like to kiss him. While studying the pyro's lips, he saw them twitch into a smile. "You know, we never actually did that spin the bottle kiss." Blushing a deep red, he stuttered: "N-n-no. We didn't."
"Are you cold or something? You have a little stutter in your voice." Roxas looked away embarrassed. "I'm fine!" He said. The blonde's mind was in shambles. What was going on? What were these feeling that he had? These thoughts? Shaking his head, he stood up. "I'm going to bed. I guess we can leave the clean-up till later on." He said, going for the stairs. "K, be up in a few." Nodding, he went up the stairs and checked on his siblings. Xion was fast asleep, her music playing in her ears. Going inside, he took off the headphones and set them on the desk. Closing the door softly behind him, he walked into Riku's room to check on Sora. His brown-haired brother's arms were wrapped around Riku's sleeping form. Grinning in the darkness, he silently crept outside. Going into his own room, he walked in on Axel getting dressed into his pajamas. "Oh, sorry!" He said, seeing that the red head was shirtless. Laughing, he waved Roxas's apology aside. "Nah, it's fine. This is how I sleep anyways." His face getting hot, he gathered his things and went into the bathroom that was located upstairs. Changing inside there felt strange, but it was better than in front of the sexy red head inside there. Seriously? What was with these thoughts of his. 'He doesn't feel the same way anyways.'
Walking out of the bathroom, he saw Axel up and on the computer. "Do you never sleep?" Axel laughed. "I do, beleive me I do but the alcohol is keeping me up. Buzzing through my veins." Roxas smiled and climbed into bed. Axel looked from the twin to the floor and frowned. "How are you with me sleeping with you?" Eyes widening, Roxas was speechless. Trying to shrug nonchalantly and failing, Roxas shook his head. "I don't mind." Standing up and seting the laptop down, he walked over to the bed. "Scootch over Roxy." Roxas growled. "Don't call me that." Axel's face brightened. "What are you talking about Roxy? Are you saying I shouldn't call you your name? That is your name right?" Glaring at the red head, he threw a pillow to the ground. "Sleep on the floor." Axel stopped laughing immidiately. "Don't make me sleep on the hard floor! Come on Roxy have a heart." Smiling while his back was turned to him he turned around in bed and proped himself up on his elbow. "Sorry, don't have a heart. Lost it a while ago when a certian redhead started to call me Roxy." Smiling at the open-mouthed redhead he layed back down and stared up at the ceiling. That's when the ceiling turned into Axel's face. The pyro was straddling him. "What are you doing?" He halfway yelled. He caught himself from yelling seeing as his siblings and Riku were in the other two rooms. Grinning at his little blonde captive, he brought his face down low. "I want that kiss now." Grimacing, he turned his head away. Shrugging, Axel just started tracing the contoures of Roxas's chest. Frowning at the shirt he had on, he pulled at the end of it. "Can I take this off? It gets in the way." Roxas looked at him in shock. He wanted to take his shirt off? Shaking his head no, he pushed at Axel's bare chest. "No, not now." He looked at his pushes. It was mostly just doing what Axel was doing but he had the advantage. Roxas was tired and drunk. He would soon give in.
Axel smiled. It was almost as if he could smell victory. But he just kissed the blonde's forhead and layed down next to him. Wrapping his arms around Roxas's waist, he yawned. "Night Roxy." Roxas was frozen. Axel probably could have taken him...most likely would have...what was going on? He thought long and hard about the things he was feeling. Was it real? Well he guessed he would figure it out later, when his eventual hangover went away. Hopefully Axel would be away. Not too far away but away. Feeling his eyes going heavy, he closed them and dirfted off into a fitful sleep.
