Disclaimer: Still no ownage of characters, copyright etc. Sigh.
This chapter: What will happen with Sora and Riku? Will Demyx ever fit in? We'll just have to see now, won't we? ;).
--
'♫ and if your heart stops beating, I'll be here wondering, did you get what you deserve?' Axel's alarm went off as he hit it. A little hard if you ask me.
'Oh no,' he realised his alarm went off for a reason; work! He reluctantly got out of bed and put his 'McUniform' on.
--
♫ I am an arms dealer, shooting you with weapons in the form of words.' Roxas awoke to the sound of Fall Out Boy. He yawned and checked the time. 9:00. Then he remembered that he had the day off from working in the bookstore today. Roxas didn't know why, but he loved it there. The manager promised to leave it to him when he passed away. He went downstairs to greet Sora. He was always up at about 6 in the morning.
'Morning Roxy!' he beamed.
'G'mornin'' he mumbled back, still half asleep.
'Want me to make you some breakfast? I've already had mine.' Where did he get all his energy from?
'I had chocolate flavored chocolate covered syrup pancake waffles.' Oh, that explained A LOT.
'Yeah, just toast and butter for me, thanks Sora.' So Sora went of into the kitchen. Roxas flicked through the music channels, but there was nothing good on, so he waited on his toast to be ready. Sora carried it back through to Roxas.
'I'm meeting Riku again today. Are you meeting Axel?' Sora asked.
'He's working. Hey, since we've got a day off, want to go see Axel at work? Riku'll know what McDonald's he works at.'
'Sure, I'll ask him.'
'Sora?'
'Yeah Roxy?'
'What's the deal with you and Riku?'
'What?' Sora looked confused.
'I mean, are you just friends, or more than friends?'
'We're just…friends. Why?'
'I don't know, it just seems he wants to be more than just your friend.'
'Oh. Well I don't really know just now. I'll just go phone him and see if he wants to go see Axel.' And off he went.
--
He walked into McDonald's, where only some randoms sat, choosing something off the breakfast 'McMenu.' His boss came over to him; a fat guy, known as Pete.
'Axel we're short on staff today, so I need you on the till as usual, but to check the toilets every 15 minutes.'
'Ok Pete. Whatever you say Pete,' he said unenthusiastically. He walked behind the counter, and got ready to serve the next customer.
--
'Hi Riku,' Sora said.
'Oh hey, is that you Sora?'
'Yeah, well I was wondering what you wanted to do today? Roxas wants to go and see Axel at work, so we could do that if you want.'
'Yeah that sounds good. I love embarrassing Axel. Especially in public,' he laughed.
'Cool, so I'll come round and meet you at 12 then?'
'Sounds good to me,' and then they hung up.
--
'Oh my god Axel! It's a code 107, you need to get to the toilets NOW!' Pete shouted from behind him. Code 107, code 107, why did that ring a bell? Then he remembered.
'No!' he shouted. Wow he was good at getting funny looks.
'Yes!' Pete angrily replied back. 'Now hurry or you're fired!'
Axel walked into the women's toilets with him mop and bucket. Yup, it truly was a 107. Well actually, about 15. Someone had stuck used sanitary towels all over one of the walls.
'Eww,' he said to himself. He just hoped that no one would walk in.
--
They arrived at McDonald's, in all its calorie-filled glory.
'Axel usually works on the till,' Riku said. 'Because he can't cook to save himself.' Roxas laughed. As they walked inside they arrived to a long queue and a panicked looking fat guy in a uniform. Their eyes scanned the scene. No sign of Axel.
'Where is he?' Sora asked.
'I'm not sure,' Riku replied.
'I'm just away to the toilet. Order me something if you ever get to the front of the queue.' And with that, Roxas went to the toilet.
--
When Axel had finally finished his 'duty', he went back outside. To his surprise, Roxas was walking into the men's.
'Roxas?'
'Axel?'
'Oh hi! What are you doing here?' Axel said, turning a colour similar to his hair.
'Well, I have the day off, so I thought I'd come to see you.'
'Oh. Well it's kind of embarrassing.'
'Haha,' Roxas laughed. ' I think your uniform's sexy.' This caused Axel to go even redder.
'Well I better get back to work, or Pete'll kill me.'
'Cool, Sora and Riku are here too, so I'll probably stick around for a bit.'
'Ok, I finish early. In fact in an hour, so you can stay till then if you can stand it,' Axel laughed.
'Yeah, well I may as well. I've got nothing else to do anyway!'
--
They stood in the queue, which seemed to take forever.
'Hey Sora?' Riku asked.
'Yeah Riku?'
'Want to just go back to mine? I'm not even hungry. But if you are I'll make you something.'
'Yeah, I would love to, but I don't know if I should leave Roxas.'
'He won't even notice,' he told Sora. 'He's too enchanted with Axel.'
'Ok then, I suppose I could then,' and then he followed Riku out the door.
--
Roxas walked back out the toilets, to see that he had been abandoned.
'Where the hell have they gone?' he asked himself. Then he realised what they had done. Sora would be getting an earful tonight.
Since they had left, he waited in the queue. At least he would get to see Axel.
'Next please!' Axel said in an oh so sexy voice. Roxas walked up to his counter.
'Can I have medium fries and a milkshake please? Roxas asked him. Axel smiled.
'Yes, and it's on me,' and winked. Roxas blushed.
'Thanks Axel,' he said as he took his order and walked away.
'Oh and Roxas, I finish in 10 minutes.'
--
Riku drove Sora back to his house and walked inside.
'Want a drink or anything to eat Sora?'
'Emm, just a coke please.'
'Sure,' then Riku went into the kitchen.
He poured Sora's can of coke into a glass for him. Followed by a bit of very strong vodka.
'What he doesn't know, can't hurt him,' he said to himself, and then carried it through to him. When he walked into his living room Sora was kneeled up on the couch looking at a picture with his back to him. This meant that Riku could see the waistline of his rather embarrassing 'Hello Kitty' boxers.
'Hello Kitty; interesting,' Riku said with a pervy smile. Sora turned round in fright, and looked embarrassed. He pulled up his baggy trousers and thanked Riku for the coke. It tasted a little funny, but he guessed that it was just his imagination.
'So, did you enjoy the Mcr concert?'
'Yeah, it was great. You should've come.'
'Nah, I only like Linkin Park and stuff like that really.'
'But they're so…weird. No offence.'
'None taken. But I think you could grow to like them.'
'Mmm…' Sora said, and took a big drink of his coke. Riku switched the tv on, then went to sit beside Sora.
'Y'know Sora, I'm really glad my brother met Roxas, because it kind of linked me to you. And I really like you.' Riku said.
'Me hiccup too!' Sora replied, swaying slightly.
'No, I mean I really like you Sora.' And with that, he pressed his lips firmly against the surprised brunette's.
--
'Ugh, I smell like McDonald's,' Axel complained as he walked hand in hand with Roxas to his car. 'I need to go home and have a shower. You want to come back to mines?'
'Yeah, sounds good,' Roxas replied.
--
Before he knew what was happening, Riku was on top of him, kissing him passionately.
'Riku…stop.' Sora told him.
'Why? We're having such a good time.'
'I know, but I don't want to rush things.'
'In fact Sora, you're right,' Riku said with one last kiss on Sora's neck.
'What are we going to tell Axel and Roxas?' Sora asked.
'Nothing yet, we'll just see how comfortable they are with the idea first by SLYLY dropping hints. Then we'll tell them.'
'Ok, so what do you wana do now then?' Sora asked, a fair enough question. It was amazing how fast he had sobered up. Riku felt bad for what he had done, talking advantage of Sora like that. It made him feel sick now.
'Sorry Sora,' he said.
'For what?' He asked.
'I dono, just, sorry.'
'Oooookay,' Sora said.
'Hey wana go play Kingdom Hearts again?' Riku asked.
'Yeah!' Sora replied, and up the stairs they went.
--
They arrived back at Axel's.
'Right, well I'll just go for a shower. You can make yourself at home. You know where my room is.' He smiled as he said this.
'Ok,' Roxas smiled back.
'I won't be long,' Axel winked, then walked up the stairs, still in his work uniform. Roxas went to get him and Axel a drink then went upstairs to his bedroom. He didn't understand why, but Roxas felt really comfortable there. He sat for a while, drank his juice and listened to the music on his phone. Then, sure enough, just as he'd expected:
Axel appeared in a towel. Roxas pulled one of his headphones out.
'Two seconds. I'll just get out your way so that you can get dressed.' Roxas told Axel.
'It's ok, I'll just grab some clothes and get changed in the bathroom.' Axel said.
'You sure?'
'Yeah.'
Roxas enjoyed watching Axel walk about in a towel. Then he leant over him, his toned, tattooed stomach almost touching Roxas…
'Roxas? Are you staring at my stomach?' Axel laughed.
'Emm…' Roxas replied. Axel laughed again and stretched back to look him in the eyes. Then he kissed the blonde with such emotion that he fell backwards onto Axel's bed.
They must have lain there for hours, when Axel said:
'I'm very conscious that I'm in a towel right now.'
Axel: WOAH !!! Time out a minute! That is so cliché. Why would I even think about saying that?
Sora: What's a cliché?
Roxas: Oh Sora it doesn't matter. It was cheesy, that's all. Now; back to more of me and Axel!
Demyx: Wait! Where did me and Sephiroth go? I miss us :(.
Me: You'll see! Now shut up. It's my story! --Insert evil laugh here-- . Anyway…
Roxas laughed. 'You better get dressed then.' Just then someone knocked on the front door.
'Could you get that please? Since I'm half naked and all.'
'Sure,' he said, then went to answer the door. 'Oh hey Demyx, Sephiroth,' he smiled and let them inside. 'Axel! It's Demyx and Sephiroth!' he shouted up the stairs to him.
'Cool, tell them I'll be down in a minute then!' he shouted back.
'Okay.' Then he walked into the living room where Demyx and Sephiroth sat holding hands on the couch.
'Hey guys,' Roxas said, looking slightly confused.
'Hi, emm well as you can see, we've got something to tell you.'
'Yeah. Two seconds, Axel won't be long,' he said and walked into the hall. What was Demyx playing at? He so obviously fancies Axel, but he's going out with Sephiroth…to make Axel jealous? No, he had to warn him before he saw them together. Just then Axel walked down the stair on queue, in his god-like fashion.
'Everything okay Rox?' Axel asked.
'You've been warned,' was all Roxas said, then walked back through.
Axel's eyes almost popped out of his head. It was the most unlikely couple he could think of.
--
When they finished explaining themselves all Axel said was,
'Well, if you're happy then so are we!' This made Demyx pull one of his faces. Then him and Sephiroth started clinging to each other, their lips making weird noises as they hit against the other's.
Axel turned to Roxas and said,
'You know this means Riku and Sora are gona start going out soon.'
'How?' Roxas asked.
'Because they'll be the ones left out. In fact, I'd be surprised if they weren't already. My brother can be such a horny bas-'
'Did you just say that Riku and Sora are going out?!' Demyx asked in shock.
'We don't know yet, but that's how it'll probably end up.'
'Yeah…' Roxas said

Aww, poor Axel. Code 107- it's a killer. Anyway, start writing me some reviews please! If I can write, then so can you:)
