Kao-tan: Sooooo sorry it took so long to dish out chapter two! I've been planning on doing an AkuRoku along with this but...we'll see. Anyway! On we go!

Disclaimer: Yeah...yeah...yeah...no.

Chapter 1

Misinterpretations

"Demyx..." Nothing. "Demyx. Come on! I thought you wanted to meet my brother?"

"Go away!"

"Demyx!" Sora gaped at the door that concealed his brother's roommate. His hand was still poised in the air to knock again, but the sharp tone in Demyx's voice had caught him off guard.

Both Roxas and Riku had stopped listening to the brunette's pleas about ten minutes before. The moment Roxas and his roommate had finished their shocked exclamations, the mulleted...mohawked...mohulleted male had instantly turned on his heel (rather ungraciously due to tripping over the ends of his pants) and tumbled back into his bedroom. When the shocked air had worn away Sora, ever the peacekeeper, had set to coaxing Demyx out from his room while Roxas and Riku went about moving the rest of the blonde's stuff in from outside and stacking it the best they could in the bedroom that Roxas took as his.

When they had finished that and settled into the living room portion of the dorm the silverette chanced to throw a questioning look at the blonde. All Roxas offered him was a simple shrug and Riku put it out of his mind. It wasn't like he actually cared about what went on in the other's life, after all. It wasn't like Roxas was his little brother or anything. He also didn't know who this Demyx character was. And seeing the way he was acting he really didn't care to. He just had to wait till Sora was downcast enough that he could drag him away.

"Roxas?" The blonde glanced up from his book as his name was called. He had long since discarded his glasses and tie in favor of curling up on the couch. "Roxas!" Sora tried again. Because obviously just looking up and acknowledging the other wasn't good enough.

Roxas gave his brother a blank stare before sighing. It was an exasperated sigh that he made sure to make as dramatic as possible, drawing a quiet snort and snicker from the silverette opposite him. It was the kind of sigh a mother might give her child when he wanted too much attention. The blonde made a show of holding up his book, making sure Sora was watching him as he dogeared the page and closed it, placing it in his lap before looking up and giving his brother his complete attention. "Yes, Sora?"

"What did you do to Demyx?" It was a simple question but it had Roxas gaping at his twin.

Roxas' draw dropped the instant his mind registered exactly what it was that Sora had just asked him. "What do you mean, what did I do?!"

"He was an ungrateful jerk!" A muffled reply broke the silence that he settled in, coming from what was assumed to be Demyx's room.

"What?!"

"Roxas! I thought I raised you better then that!"

A sharp glare was thrown toward Riku by both twins, the older of the three now snorting to himself and holding his hand over his mouth, unsuccessfully trying to suppress his laughter. "You're going to believe a complete stranger over your own brother?!" Roxas exclaimed, returning his attention to his twin. "We don't even know this Demyx character!"

Sora was about to retort something. Something about being a good judge of character. He was, however, cut off before a single syllable even made it past his lips.. The brown haired boy had to jump back quickly as Demyx's door slung open, narrowly missing Sora's nose.

The taller blonde's jacket had been discarded, leaving him and a rough and ruffled tank-top that looked like it had seen better days. Years and years ago. The room fell into a tense silence as Demyx's eyes locked onto Roxas, the look on his face a far cry from pouting as it had been on the subway train. Actually...the new look kind of made Roxas feel a bit nervous, his body almost squirming under the smoldering gaze.

"I saved your life." Demyx ground out after a few moments, his gaze never wavering once.

Roxas resisted the urge to squirm that his body was demanding he give into. "You were in the right place at the right time. That's all." He managed to give a shrug of indifference, collecting his wits enough to send the dirty blonde a cool look.

Demyx's lips pursed into a thin line as he continued to stare at Roxas, his sea colored eyes narrowing a bit more.

"Roxas..." Sora started, scratching the back of his head. Glancing between Demyx and Roxas he finally turned a weary eye toward his twin. "I was just kidding before. About you doing something to him. But...uh...did you?" He asked uncertainly, trying to figure out how Roxas would even know Demyx.

Roxas sighed in agitation, realizing this whole thing wasn't going to be dropped anytime soon. "I didn't do a thing to him!"

"Yes you did!"

"I did not!"

"Did too!"

"Shut UP!" All attention was drawn toward Riku who was still seated in his chair, all humor from his face gone. After all, there was a thin line between funny and annoying. At least for Riku there was. Alright. DEMYX," The silverette shot Roxas a pointed look before turning his attention toward the mohulleted male. "What did Roxas do to you?"

"He didn't thank me." The reply came easy and quick, the dirty blonde tilting his chin up slightly as the words slid from his lips. For a moment Roxas thought he might have looked regal...if he wasn't dressed like a junkie.

"Didn't...thank you?" Riku raised an eyebrow curiously, eyes the brighter blonde who in turn shot him a nasty glare.

"Yeah. He was getting picked on bu these two punks," Roxas resisted the urge to tell Demyx to look in the mirror. "From downtown Shibuya! They were going to do something to him before I stepped in to save his bloody ass! And trust me, if I hadn't stepped in his ass would have been hella bloody!"

Whatever intimidation Roxas had felt because of Demyx was gone once the other male began flailing around like an idiot. All he could do was shoot the dirty blonde a flat look as he picked up his book, uncurling his legs from underneath his body and standing up. They tingled slightly and Roxas shifted his stance from leg to leg to try and keep the feeling in them.

"Roxas, just thank him before he breaks something." Riku sighed. One of the few traits that Roxas shared with Sora was his stubbornness. Not the best trade to be bonded by.

"Like I said before." A light shrug. "He was just in the right place at the right time. I have no reason to thank him for something that happened on a mere coincidence."

Something sparked in Demyx's eyes and he opened his mouth to say something. However, something else had him thinking twice and he quickly bit back his tongue.

The tense atmosphere didn't seem to lessen any as blue eyes locked together, each glaring for their own reasons.

"Roxas." Sora tried to prod him again. "It's just a thank you...just say it."

Roxas rolled his eyes. "Is that what it's going to take you get all three of you to leave me alone and let me do my unpacking? Fine. I'll say it." His words dripped venom and sarcasm but he didn't care. Lifting his chin in the same manner Demyx had before he folded his arms over his chest, book dangling from the loose grip on in. "I'm-"

"Forget it!" The sudden hiss of the words as Demyx spat them out almost made Roxas jump, something that Sora had the privilege of doing since he wasn't the one trying to not look intimidated. "I don't want your stupid apology."

"...The hell." Roxas' shock melted into anger in a second. He was just good like that. "You make a fuss, throwing a tantrum like a two year old, and then suddenly the apology you've been bitching about," A sharp gasp from Sora went unnoticed, the curse from his twin surprising him. "Just doesn't matter anymore?! What the hell is your problem?!"

The pale blonde's cheeks were tainted a harsh red from yelling and, at this point, probably his high blood-pressure. He could have almost looked attractive if it wasn't for the anger in his eyes.

Well...

Scoffing slightly Demyx tried not to sneer as he turned away. "An apology without something sincere behind it isn't what I want. And it's not worth it." He shot over his shoulder before another slam alerted the three younger male's that the conversation, at least with Demyx included, was over.

Kao-tan: Sorry this chapter isn't that long. I wanted to keep it kind of short while I plot out a few things that happen. Lemme tell you right now...I usually plot for my stories when I work mornings at my job which is why it takes a bit. XD So sorry about that. Though I'm going to go ahead and warn you that while this is going to end a DemRoku, there will be a few AkuRoku moments. Mainly to get under Dem Dem's skin. n.n

And I'd like to give a big thank you to all my reviewers that keep me going and make me want to upload chapters. =w=
