Roxas was up all night after he and Axel spent hours playing board games and even a biased game of twister, where Axel lost by default for tickling Roxas. After they decided to take a break and sleep in their own rooms, Roxas was troubled, wondering what would happen with Sephiroth back in the castle, and even if he was only allowed to visit during the day, what if he still caused problems?
"Roxas, you awake?" Zexion warped directly into Roxas' dark room as the blonde sat up quickly.
"Yeah."
"I'm glad I found you." Zexion exhaled and Roxas turned on the lamp on his nightstand, getting up quickly.
"What's wrong?" Roxas didn't like the tone in Zexion's voice.
"Sephiroth. He's here."
"Already?"
"Yes. And, it seems that he has an idea that the superior is already in favor of."
"What is it?" Roxas moved closer to Zexion and the young genius sighed as he thought of how best to word the predicament.
"He wants Vexen to make more love potions."
"But, I thought Saix said that it was too unpredictable?"
"He did, but in the end, it's the superior's decision."
"I'd think he'd be against it, since Saix practically attacked Axel." Roxas hated the uneasy feeling in his gut that told him this was all a bad idea.
"Well, Xemnas already gave Vexen the order to produce more, and Vexen is in his lab doing just that. He asked me to warp to a human world to get some supplies, but I had to tell you."
"Thanks Zexion. I'm glad I know." Roxas' worried demeanor only troubled Zexion.
"Hey, we'll get through this. Whatever happens, at least we now have the antidote."
"I just hate the idea of a love potion with Sephiroth here. One is bad enough, but both, together, at the same time, that's just spelling disaster."
"I know Roxas. I tried to make other suggestions, but Xemnas trusts Sephiroth, perhaps too much."
"Whatever, it's beyond our control."
"At least we now know what to expect."
"You mean, you trying to hit on me?" Roxas winked and Zexion blushed.
"That was the potion." Zexion cleared his throat nervously.
"Hahahaha, I know, but still." Roxas blushed lightly and Zexion shook his head.
"You're never going to let that one down are you?" Zexion stepped closer to Roxas, creating a warmth of such close body heat.
"Don't think so," Roxas smiled sheepishly, a bit unsure of how he felt.
"Ha, didn't think so," Zexion put his hand on Roxas' face, opened a warp behind himself, and stepped backward into it.
Roxas gulped, curious as to what had just happened, and tried to go back to bed, unsuccessful.
"He's here?" Xigbar asked Luxord, who nodded.
"Yes, I found that out when Vexen bet that information in a game of blackjack last night." Luxord set up a game of poker for himself and Xigbar.
"So, what is Sephiroth going to do now that he's here?" Lexaues asked as he watched wrestling on TV in the game room that the Nobodies were occupying.
"Not sure. Although, something tells me he won't be here long."
"Good." Xigbar sighed.
"I hope not." Axel walked into the room, aware that Roxas would be gone on a mission with Saix for some kind of training.
"Yes, word has finally got around about your relations with Sephiroth."
"Oh can it Luxy. Don't be jealous cause you miss me." Axel grinned and Luxord did the same.
"As you wish." Luxord said, playing his next card.
"So, this is how you spend your valuable time?" A voice asked and all the Nobodies turned and had a gag reflex at the sight of Sephiroth entering the room.
"Whats it to you?" Xigbar huffed and Sephiroth scoffed in his deep voice.
"Such precious time, such a controlled darkness, and yet, you have nothing to show for it."
"Quit the riddles and get lost." Axel rolled his eyes, trying to watch wrestling with Lexaeus to distract himself.
"I'd love to lose myself in you once more." Sephiroth smirked and Axel shuddered, wishing he had Roxas to hold right then and there.
"Keep your hands off him." Larxene walked into the room next, hands on hips as she stood in front of where Axel sat.
"Are you really protecting this vile creature?" Sephiroth asked Larxene.
"The only vile thing here is you." She smiled and the silver haired man did too.
"I like your style." He complimented her.
"Well that's one thing we can agree on. Now, keep your hands and eyes off the pyro, he's my target." Larxene folded her hands and when Sephiroth took a step towards her, she sent a bolt of lightning down right in front of his toes.
"I see." Sephiroth narrowed his eyes and exited the room.
"Th-thakns," Axel couldn't believe what he was saying and to who.
"No need to thank me. If you weren't so beautiful, I wouldn't have bothered." Larxene hummed as she went to her usual table to read a book off of her shelf of manga and novels.
"Did you really just save Axel's ass?" Xigbar asked, still in disbelief despite the fact that he was a witness to his own question.
"I merely showed Sephiroth that I am not to be trifled with." Larxene licked her finger, turned a page in her book, and continued to read.
"Well, thanks, again." Axel said sheepishly after he stood up and walked over to her.
"You know, you could thank me in another way." Larxene winked suggestively.
"Don't even think about it." Axel smirked back at her before returning to his spot on the couch.
"So, this is training?" Roxas asked the scary blue haired elf that had always intimidated him.
"Yes. You are responsible for training the new member upon their arrival. So, we must train you so that you can best train her."
"Her?" Roxas was surprised, since he was used to Larxene being the only girl, and with the way she burped and cussed, she hardly seemed like it.
"Female." Saix clarified.
"I know that," Roxas felt stupid but couldn't control his tongue, even after Saix glared at him.
"Just do your best to pay attention and try not to hurt yourself too much. Vexen is already busy working on his next plan, he doesn't need to revive you." Saix summoned his Berserk as the two were occupying an abandoned coliseum.
"Gee thanks," Roxas rolled his eyes, summoning both his keyblades as he prepared to fight Saix to better his skills.
After an intense three rounds, Saix summoned his weapon away.
"I see you've been practicing. Good, she'll need all the help she can get."
"How did we find her?" Roxas wondered what this new member would be like and how her life as a somebody was.
"That is something to ask her, not me." Saix opened a warp and Roxas walked through it, back to the Castle.
"Hey baby, how was training?" Axel asked when Roxas walked into the game room and threw himself on the couch right in between Axel and Lexaeus.
"Tiring." Roxas sighed.
"I'm sure you kicked his ass." Axel messed with Roxas' hair.
"I'm just glad he didn't kick mine." Roxas threw his head back in exhaustion.
"Do you mind?" Lexaeus asked, seemingly bothered with the way Axel began to fondle Roxas' thigh.
"Don't be jealous cause no one wants to get down with you Lexy." Demyx walked in right on time to feed Axel's immaturity.
"Oh great, you two together. I wonder what can go wrong?" Luxord asked when Demyx plopped himself between Axel and the arm of the couch.
"You know you love us." Demyx stuck his tongue out and Luxord sighed.
"I don't know why." Luxord smiled, having more of a sense of humor than the other Nobodies.
"I swear if you two light my manga's on fire again and then drown them, I will electrocute you both on the spot." Larxene raised one eyebrow and the water and fire Nobodies gulped.
"Relax, we aren't going to pull any pranks today." Axel massaged Roxas' sore thighs, much to Lexaeus' displeasure.
"No?" Luxord asked, raising his eyebrows in shock.
"Nope." Demyx smiled and Xigbar shivered.
"Now I feel paranoid that they're going to do something since we aren't expecting it."
"That would be the greatest prank of all." Axel stood up and flashed a giant smirk, picking up Roxas, cradling him as he warped them to his room.
"I'm so tired." Roxas said, ready to fall on Axel's bed when Axel stopped him by grabbing his wrist.
"Whoa whoa whoa! You're sweaty babe, and I just had Larxene do my laundry. Shower first, then nap."
"But I'm tired!" Roxas whined pulling on his arm in an attempt to free it.
"What if I joined you in this shower?" Axel meshed his body right up against Roxas'.
"Well, if you insist," Roxas blushed.
"I love how red you turn every time I say something sexual, even though I'd think you'd be used to it by now." Axel smiled as he held Roxas.
"Sorry my mind isn't as dirty as yours." Roxas sarcastically apologized.
"At least my body isn't as sweaty as yours." Axel dug his hand in Roxas' wetted hair.
"Not for now," Roxas smirked, leaving Axel absolutely silent.
"Did, did you just make a sexual remark to me?" Axel asked, completely shocked.
"Yep. I may be the sweaty one now, but something tells me that this shower of ours will only make you twice as sticky as I am now." Roxas grinned and Axel licked his lips.
"Why aren't we in the shower now?" Axel dragged Roxas into his bathroom, turning on the water, stripping, and rinsing himself off. Roxas laughed at Axel's anxiousness and followed his lead.
"Scoot over." Roxas tapped Axel's hip as he squeezed into the shower.
"Let me clean you." Axel took the bar of soap and rubbed it all over Roxas' cramped body, massaging his sore muscles, lathering the soap gently against his white skin.
"That feels so good," Roxas closed his eyes, holding onto Axel's shoulders as the pyro kneeled before his boyfriend, massaging his thighs with his talented hands.
"You that sore baby?" Axel let water rinse off the soap before he kissed the skin he had just cleaned.
"Yeah. Saix is insane." Roxas kept his eyes closed, exhaling loudly as he lost himself in such a soothing touch.
"I'm sorry." Axel smooched his lips deep against Roxas' inner thigh, getting hard just by letting his face caress the soft skin so close to Roxas' growing erection.
"That, oh god, do that again." Roxas loved the simplicity of Axel's actions and the romantic notion behind just a kiss making him so hard.
Axel smiled, putting his lips again to the delicate leg and running his kiss from Roxas' knee all the way up the inside of his leg.
"Can I just die now?" Roxas asked, barely awake by the pleasure and exhaustion mixed inside him.
"Nope, silly." Axel stood up and held Roxas' body, aware that the blonde was too weak to continue. "Do you want to go to bed?"
"I feel bad." Roxas mumbled against Axel's wet chest.
"Why do you feel bad?"
"Cause your hard and if we went to bed, I'd be leaving you hanging." Roxas explained, his eyes still closed.
"Doesn't mean that I can't solve that on my own. Just cause your asleep doesn't mean you're off limits." Axel smirked and when Roxas opened his eyes to see the smirk he could feel, the blonde shook his head.
"You're so weird."
"As long as you love me, I'm ok with that." Axel brushed Roxas' hair behind his ears and turned off the shower.
"I do."
"Yay, you may now kiss me," Axel laughed and Roxas rolled his eyes. "Come on, bedtime." Axel dried off Roxas' body and carried him to bed.
"What are you going to do?" Roxas asked, snuggling in Axel's bed and rubbing his cheek against Axel's pillow.
"I'm going to be right here, waiting for you as you sleep."
"That's boring." Roxas yawned.
"Not for me," Axel combed Roxas' hair with his fingers.
"Night Axe."
"Night Roxy. Love you." The pyro said, just as Roxas fell into a deep sleep. And Axel kept his promise, watching over Roxas, waiting patiently as his boyfriend got the rest he needed.
