`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

He woke up in Riku's arms, feeling a little sore. But he didn't mind, he loved how rough Riku could be. He tried to sit up, but he felt the arms around him tighten. Teeth bit into his neck, he knew there would be a mark there. He turned around to look at Riku, seeing that he was barely waking up.

Riku opened his eyes, looking at him. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"Going to take a shower. Wanna join me?" he asked, teasing him.

Riku smiled down at him. "Sure, I don't mind."

Sora heard his phone ringing in his pants pocket. He got up and picked it up. "Hello?"

"Sora, it's me," Tidus said on the other line.

"What's up?" he asked, he was lying on his stomach on the bed.

"I was calling to see if you and the others wanna go eat some pizza with us! I know Zexion and Demyx are going with us," Tidus told him.

He felt Riku nipping at his butt cheeks, he slapped at him to stop. "Sure, what time do you wanna meet and where at?"

"Let's see, at Destiny Pizza Palace at eight. Is that okay with you?" he asked him.

Riku persisted, nipping at his butt cheeks and licking in between them, Sora tried to keep his voice even. "Sure! We'll see you then!" he told Tidus and hung up. He felt Riku's tongue enter his opening, sliding easily into him. "Riku!" He scooted away, pulling his shirt down to cover him.

Riku looked at him confused. "You don't like that Sora?" he asked.

"No, we have to get ready!" he told him. "We're meeting them in an hour! So I'm gonna take a shower real quick!" He got up and ran to their bathroom, closing the door before Riku could come after him.

`~`~`Riku's POV`~`~`

He'd let Sora get away…for now.

He pulled his pants back on and put on another clean shirt. His phone rang in his pocket, a text message from Axel.

Hey wut time u n Sora leavin?

Idk probably in 20 min He replied.

K we'll see you downstairs! Axel told him.

He heard the shower stop, Sora came out with a towel wrapped around his lithe hips. His heart nearly stopped at the sight. Sora looked at him suspiciously. "Control your emotions Riku!" he told him, blushing.

He walked over to him and kissed him. "I can't help it Sora. You're the best thing in my life, I don't know what I'd do without you" he confessed, carrying Sora to the bed. "You're my heart Sora."

Sora kissed his chin. "I'm glad, and you're mine." He scooted away to go get some clothes on. Riku watched him pull a shirt over his head and boxers and pants on.

"Come on, everyone is downstairs," Riku told him.

Sora nodded and pulled some socks and shoes on. They walked downstairs, Xion ran away from Axel, who was chasing her. Roxas was on the couch laughing at them.

"Get her!" he shouted to them.

Xion ran away to hide behind Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz, all of them ran into the kitchen.

"Why are you chasing her?" Sora asked.

Axel looked at him as though he were stupid. "She took pictures of all of us, in…weird positions…"

Riku heard her and the triplets laughing. "Okay and?"

"Tell me you're not a little mad Riku?" Axel asked him.

Riku shrugged. "I'm not anymore it's too late already."

Kadaj walked in the living room carrying Xion bridal style. "Don't be mad Axel" she told him. The two sat next to Roxas.

Riku and Sora laughed. "So are we leaving now?" Sora asked.

Roxas nodded. "Yeah, let's go! I'm hungry!"

"You're always hungry Roxy! Where does it all go?" Axel asked.

Roxas smiled. "It goes in one way and comes out the other!"

Riku felt his stomach heave. "Roxas, I didn't want to know that!" he told him, Sora was laughing at him along with brother.

"Well, where does your food go Axel? You're not exactly Mr. Muscular!" Roxas asked.

Axel looked at him with a predatory look. "All that sweat I put in making you happy in bed!"

Riku laughed as Roxas blushed. "He got you there Roxas!" He and Sora were laughing really hard on the floor.

"Let's go!" Xion shouted. "I wanna go eat some pizza!"

They all got up and left. Axel and Roxas left in Axel's Dodge Truck, the Jenova triplets rode their Hayabusa Turbo motorcycles, Xion rode on the back of Kadaj. Riku carried Sora to his silver Mustang, sitting him in the passenger seat. He got in and gave Sora one more kiss before he drove out of the driveway.

"I can't wait for our summer to officially begin!" Sora exclaimed. "A summer where I can finally relax! No more running! No more hiding! I can relax and be screwed senseless by you!" He laughed.

Riku felt a smile across his face. "Don't worry, the fun is only beginning."

Sora smiled at him, holding his hand. "I know it is. You're the one who's made life so much better for me."

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

They all walked in the pizza place, Hayner and the others were already there. Zexion and Demyx were there also, Demyx talking to the others. Roxas sat down next to Selphie, Axel sat next to him. Sora and Riku sat across them, Xion and the Jenova triplets sat on the other side of the table. He noticed Kadaj made sure he sat next to Xion, keeping an arm wrapped around her waist.

"Finally freedom!" Tidus shouted, jumping on the table.

"Tidus!" Selphie yelled at him, trying to pull him down.

Hayner stood on his chair. "You said it man!" The two of them high fived each other, laughing.

Olette smacked Hayner on the stomach. "Get down you! Do you want us to get kicked out?"

Roxas laughed, while Axel just shook his head smiling. Sora and Riku laughed, Demyx jumped on his chair, shouting along with Tidus and Hayner.

"Hey hey! Get off the tables ya?" a man with orange hair said.

Tidus smiled at the man. "Sorry Wakka!" he apologized, getting down off the table. Demyx and Hayner sat back down, smirking at their own antics.

"You know that man Tidus?" Roxas asked.

Tidus nodded. "He's my cousin, his wife works here too! She's the woman with long braids tied in a ponytail. Her name is Lulu."

Roxas leaned his head against Axel's shoulder, just enjoying the fact they could have a normal evening. He had always wondered what being normal would be like, now his life was semi-normal.

Axel's lips brushed against his forehead, he smiled at the feel. "You okay Roxy?," Axel asked.

He nodded. "I'm fine, just hungry!" he said.

Like the people were reading his mind, the pizza came, two extra large pepperoni pizzas with sausage and bacon. Everyone grabbed a slice, then Demyx held his glass up to toast.

"Today is the day of the rest of our lives! So let's just have a moment of everyone saying what's on their minds!" he suggested.

Hayner stood up, smiling down at everyone. "I'm feeling sensitive right now, so I'll go first! First, I'm just happy to have you guys as my best friends, and Olette. We've been together for so long, I couldn't think of myself of being with anyone else but you! We've been dating for four years now, and there's only one thing I have to ask…"

Roxas could hear Hayner's thoughts, he was panicking. Hayner was honestly afraid of Olette saying no. Olette had moved in Hayner when he got his own place about a year ago, because she spent the night one time at his place, her parents believed her to sleeping around with Hayner. They kicked her out, but in truth, Olette was still a virgin. Hayner had wanted to wait and see if they would get married before he slept with her, respecting her beliefs and her. Roxas could see the thoughts of love in Hayner.

Olette looked at him concerned, Hayner was turning red. "Are you alright Hayner?" she asked.

Hayner got down on one knee, pulling out a small box. He opened it to reveal a ring with an oval shaped, orange diamond. "W-Will y-y-you m-marry me?" he stuttered out.

Olette sat there, shocked. Roxas could hear the thoughts going through her head. Oh my goodness! Did he just ask me to…? Oh my goodness! How can I NOT say no? I love him so much…She thought. Hayner was still holding the ring out to her, waiting. Olette began to tear up, then nodded her head, looking at Hayner. "Yes! Yes Hayner!" she answered.

Roxas could feel the relief going through Hayner. He watched his friend slip the ring on her finger, leaning up to kiss her. Rikku and Pence, and Selphie and Tidus shouted in joy and clapped for them. Demyx was jumping up and down on his seat in excitement while Zexion was holding his hand. Sora and Riku clapped for them, Xion was taking pictures, again, and the Jenova triplets just clapped for them.

"HURRAY FOR THE NEWLY ENGAGED COUPLE!" Demyx shouted, he held his glass up. "A toast for our engaged friends!" Everyone lifted their glasses and brought them together, then drank their sodas. Roxas felt Axel's lips press against the corner of his.

"What was that for?" he asked, trying his best not to blush.

Axel smiled at him. "You had little bit dripping from your mouth," he told him.

Roxas blushed. "You could've told me!"

"Yeah, but my way is better!" Axel exclaimed.

Roxas shook his head as they celebrated they're graduation.

`~`~`Demyx's POV`~`~`

He and Zexion left the pizza place, everyone going their own way. Zexion held his hand as they walked to his car. "That was so sweet of Hayner!" Demyx said.

Zexion rolled his eyes. "Sweet? Poor guy was sweating and stuttering."

Demyx made a disgusted face at him. "You party pooper! I can't believe they're getting married." He wondered what they would do for the wedding. Olette looked so happy and Hayner looked so relieved when she said yes.

"Are you okay Demy?" Zexion asked, driving his BMW to Demyx's house.

He nodded. "Yeah, why?"

Zexion shrugged. "I don't know, you just seem distant."

Demyx just smiled at him. "I'm just so happy for them, Pence has talked to me about marrying Rikku, but he wants to wait a while. Tidus says he wants to wait about another year before he asks Selphie. It's just amazing to me how much they all love each other."

"I love you just as much as they love each other, Demy. Are you unhappy with me?" Zexion asked.

He shook his head. "No! Never! I love you too much Zexy!" Demyx shouted.

Zexion stuck a finger in his ear. "Damn Demy! I need these for hearing" he said, but then smiled at him. "But I love you too much also." He drove pass Demyx's house.

"Where are we going?" Demyx asked, wondering where they were going. He saw them heading to the beach.

Zexion parked his car. "Let's go for a walk," he suggested, getting out.

Demyx got out, taking his shoes and socks off and leaving in the car. Zexion had already taken his shoes and socks off, holding his hand out to him. Demyx took his hand, they walked down the beach. It was times like this Demyx loved to spend with Zexion, being himself and Zexion just holding his hand like they were a normal couple.

"Remember the first time we came here together?" Zexion asked.

He smiled at the memory. Two years ago, he had come here after band practice, Zexion had been watching them and had walked with him. Zexion had told him how he liked Demyx's playing, that was the first time any of them talked to each other. He remembered Zexion giving him his cloak to keep him warm, the two of them laughing since it was big on him. "Yeah, I remember that night perfectly. Like it was just yesterday," he answered.

Both of them sat down, Demyx sitting in between Zexion legs. Zexion kissed the back of his neck and had both arms wrapped around him. "Same here. Do you know your eyes change colors?" Zexion asked, nipping gently at his neck.

"No, I didn't know," he replied.

"They do, when you're near the ocean, they turn blue. I found that out that night," Zexion told him, sucking on the place he'd been nipping.

Demyx felt his hand going underneath his pants. "Zexion…," he whispered, feeling the hand push his pants and boxers down.

They just stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's presence. Zexion knew he was lucky that he'd found someone like Demyx after so many years of being alone. And Demyx knew he was lucky that Zexion helped through all of the hard things that had happened in his life. Sure the nightmares came back once in a while, but Zexion was always there to comfort him and send them away.

"Let's go, I don't want you to get cold," Zexion said, standing up. Demyx took the hand he held out, standing up. They brushed the sand off of each other, then walked to Zexion's car.

`~`~`Axel's POV`~`~`

He was lying down on his bed, reading an Inuyasha manga. Roxas was in the bathroom. He put the book down, wishing Roxas would hurry up.

His little spitfire came out of the bathroom, wearing a pair of black pajama pants and a black and white checkered shirt. He laid down next to Axel, pulling the covers over him.

Axel went under the covers, spooning against him. "Are you okay Roxy?" he asked.

Roxas nodded. "Yeah, just tired. I wanna sleep forever right now." He snuggled against Axel more.

"Forever forever?" he asked, nipping at Roxas' neck.

Roxas closed his eyes, smiling. "Just for now, I need sleep."

Axel watched him go to sleep. He looked at his little spitfire. Roxas hadn't had much nightmares, or at least not as many as he had before. Back then, when he had a nightmare, Roxas wasn't able to go back to sleep. Now, he had nightmares, Axel was able to help him go back to sleep and he'd sleep peacefully.

He went back to reading his manga, but then he heard Roxas cry out.

Roxas curled up in the fetal position, tears rolling down his face. "No…," he whispered.

Axel forced him to uncurl, but Roxas began flailing his arms out in defense. He knew this time might take some effort.

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

`~`Roxas at eleven years old`~`

He saw himself strapped on the table, Vexen was in the room with him. The cold scientist walked over to him, a smile on his face. "Don't worry, this won't hurt."

Roxas felt something stab his arm, going in deep. He saw a syringe with sticking out, going in deeper until the needle was all the way in. Lethal injection. He could feel the poison already moving through his body.

"Roxas!"

Who was that?

Roxas, wake up!

He was awake…wasn't he?

Roxas, it's me!

Who? Was it Sora?

I'm not the enemy! It's me, Axel!

Axel?

`~`~`Roxas' POV`~`~`

He woke finding Axel straddling him, holding his arms above his head. "Axel…?" he whispered. Axel released him, then sat back down on the bed. Roxas sat up, wrapping his arms around Axel's waist. "Don't go," he begged.

Axel laid him back down on the bed, moving his lips over his tears. "I'm not going anywhere Roxas, you're not alone."

Roxas held onto him tightly. "I'm so sorry. You have to go through this a lot…"

He felt the arms tighten around him. "Don't! You're worth more than anything I have or can give! Trust me when I say I'd give my life for you in a heartbeat."

"But how much longer Axel? It's been two years since me and Sora…and I still have nightmares about my life before. Why?" he asked.

Axel shrugged. "Roxas, it was part of your life. You'll always have those memories not matter what you do. Demyx has nightmares of Luxord still, Sora still gets the past and present mixed up, and Xion and the Jenova triplets are still adjusting to life. We have all the time in the world, and I plan on spending my time with you."

Roxas looked at him. "But why? You could be with someone else who doesn't come with so much baggage like me."

Axel leaned down and bit at his neck. "I don't want anyone else but you. Before you, my life was meaningless and boring. Living a few centuries and doing the same thing over and over again, I had no reason to even wake up! Then, one day, you come into my life and brighten everything about life. I could everyone else's thoughts around me, but when I couldn't hear yours, I just had to know you. Everyone was the same, but you…you were different. I love that about you."

Roxas smiled when he said that. "I love you…," he whispered, burying his face in Axel's neck. He forced him to take his shirt off, placing his ear over his chest. "I can hear your heart…"

Axel's finger traced the scar on the side of his head. "You gave it to me." They laid back down on the bed. He pulled the covers over them, wrapping an arm around Roxas' waist. "Now go to sleep. I'll be here with you when you wake up."

He pressed a kiss on Axel's chest. "I love you Axel," he whispered.

Axel kissed his head. "I love you Roxas, always."

He fell asleep, loving the feeling of Axel's arms around him.

`~`~`Sora's POV`~`~`

He was sitting on the bench by the window in the front room, just looking out. Cloud and Leon hadn't come out of their room since they left and came back. Yazoo and Loz were playing video games and arguing, as usual. Riku had left saying he needed to go buy something.

He got up and walked to the kitchen. He saw Xion lying on the couch, sleeping on top of Kadaj, who also sleeping, with his arms around her. Sora grabbed her camera off the table, turning the flash off, and took a picture of them. He smiled as he set it down on the table and ran to the kitchen.

He looked in the fridge, seeing nothing he wanted. Then he looked in the freezer, but didn't get any of Roxas' sea salt ice cream. He looked around more, finding some fruit on the counter. He picked up a paopu fruit, taking a bite.

Two strong arms wrapped around his waist. "You smell just like that fruit," Riku whispered, nipping at his ear.

Sora giggled. "I didn't know that, thanks for telling though." They walked back upstairs to their room. "Leon and Cloud haven't been out of their room at all. It's gonna stink tomorrow."

Riku laughed, laying down on the bed with him. "Remind me not to go to their bathroom then. I prefer not smelling their sweat and whatnot." He snuggled with his

`~`~` ? POV`~`~`

He ran with his mate, trying to find an escape. They didn't have much time to save the two lives that were in his lover. If he couldn't live to see them, then he would make damn sure that he'd at least make sure they were safe and away from this horrid place.

His mate wasn't able to keep up with him for too long. The wound on his stomach wasn't deep, but it was enough for them to worry about if it continued bleeding. He looked into the golden eyes of his mate. "Don't worry," he assured him. "I'll make sure you and our pups will be safe from them."

They both started running again. Hoping he could find an opening somewhere to set his mate and their pups free.

`~`~`? POV`~`~`

He had to hurry, his stomach was bleeding badly, the two lives inside him were still there but barely able to hold on. His lover ran ahead of him, making sure the coast was clear.

"Hurry!" his lover said, breaking a window.

He turned to look to look at him. "What about you? I can't leave you behind…" He could feel tears falling from his eyes. He couldn't bear the thought of leaving him behind.

His mate kissed his tears away, holding him tightly. "Just go. You have to protect our children. He will take them away from us! Don't worry I'll be fine. Just run, find them. They have to know what he's planning, and they'll be able to protect you. They have to know he's after them! Hopefully, they even someone who can help you with this." He rubbed his stomach.

He nodded, giving his mate one last kiss. He jumped out the window, landing safely, and ran. He knew his lover would stay behind to protect him and the little lives inside him.

When he got far enough, he focused his energy onto teleporting out of there. He opened his eyes and found himself in another town.

He walked around, pulling the hood of his cloak on to sort of blend in. All his life, he had never lived in a town or city, and this was all new to him. He could feel himself getting tired from his wound and from using his powers. He had to find them and warn them of the upcoming danger. That sick bastard had his accomplice attack him because he refused for his two pieces of hope to be in danger.

The two lives were still inside him, fighting to stay in him and not die. In all his life, he would've never thought of becoming a parent. Not to mention he was a male! But his kind was able to get pregnant male or female. He had to find someone who help with this pregnancy and not freak out in the process.

For now, he had to hurry and find them. He just didn't where to start. Going to a hospital was a horrible idea, doctors would wonder why a male is pregnant. He walked down the streets of the town. He had no one to turn to.

Now, he was on his own and only four people could help him.
