[Axel's POV]

On Monday afternoon I went to Demyx's house, and he said he had the best plan ever. He thought that we could tackle two problems at once – getting rid of Larxene and reigning in Roxas, as he put it. I didn't think this could be good. You can't blame me – Larxene was involved, and she was one crazy bitch.

"Well, when Larxene comes to your house as usual, you can pretend to be with Roxas!" He exclaimed.

Oh no...

"Please don't tell me that, by 'with Roxas', you mean what I think you mean..." I replied cautiously after a moment.

"Yep!" He said happily. "And don't tell me you don't want that!"

"Demyx... you know I don't want to freak him out."

"He won't be freaked out! You don't even have to do much. Just say you're going out. But make it convincing, you know." He tried to reason.

"Fine. Okay. But if it doesn't work, you know who's responsible!"

He smiled before answering, "Yep, you."

[Roxas' POV]

So, my week was going pretty well until Tuesday afternoon. I had been dragged to Axel's house to hang out with him and Demyx. They had been acting pretty suspiciously, I must admit, but I didn't say anything.

In all honesty, I accepted because I was kind of excited at going to his house. However, when I told everyone at lunch, this excitement faded slightly into embarrassment at their replies.

"Don't let him sex you up too much!" Sora had exclaimed happily while Olette, Namine and Kairi had giggled.

"Oh jesus..." I had rolled my eyes with a smirk.

"Don't give me that look! He'll flop it out before you know it, and bam! The babies will be made. Please don't get pregnant, Roxas..." He said with mock innocence.

"Flop wha—...I'm not even a woman!" I exclaimed, then remembered, "Don't worry, Demyx will be there too."

"Ohhh. Threesome. Classy!"

I realised my mistake and smiled with my head slightly bowed as the others chuckled. There was no getting out of this one. I was just hoping that the bell would go now... or soon... no? Fine. Be that way.

Anyway, I should have realised something weird was going to happen with the raised-eyebrow looks Axel was giving to Demyx. We were sitting on the floor, chatting and eating, until the doorbell rang.

"Axel, aren't you going to get the doorbell? It's rude to keep a visitor waiting..." Demyx said as the redhead stared at him with wide eyes. Wordlessly, Axel walked out his bedroom door, and I could hear him descending down the stairs.

"Come on." Demyx said and motioned for us to go. Before I could get out of the doorway, he turned on his heal to face me and said, "please, just go with it. 'Kay?"

"Uh, okay."

I could hear a feminine voice in the doorway. It sounded somewhat evil, because when I heard it I realised that, oh shit, it was Tuesday, and Larxene came every Tuesday to stalk Axel.

I was doomed. She was going to eat me. Or burn me. Or—

"How many times do I have to tell you? I don't want to date you again, just go away!" Axel exclaimed, then saw me and nervously said, "plus, I'm taken. You lost your chance."

"Fwhat? That whore! Who is she?"

"It's a dude. I think you turned me gay." He said bluntly, then called out to me. "Roxas, can you come here for a moment?"

I realised that he wanted me to pretend to his boyfriend. I panicked for a moment before gathering my wits and walking mechanically to the door. Upon seeing me, she raised an eyebrow.

"So this is your new bitch?" She narrowed her eyes. She had funny hair – it looked like she was trying to imitate a bug or something. I didn't like bugs, and I didn't like her. Coincidence?

"My boyfriend." He corrected.

"Prove it." She sneered.

"Do I need to? Look at that sex hair." Wait, what? It's not my fault my hair stuck up weirdly.

"You messed it up just beforehand." She accused.

"No we didn't." Axel was getting fidgety now.

"Kiss him." Oh crap. I hadn't actually kissed anyone before.

Axel turned to me, and I looked up at him, trying to look as brave as I could. Then, he leaned down and kissed me. And he was invading my personal space, and I panicked and didn't know what to do, but oh – he was warm and it wasn't actually bad. Far from it. I liked it. It was soft at first, but then it got harder, and I faintly noticed Larxene scream and run away. But he didn't stop kissing me, and I was starting to get lost in the moment, when Demyx burst into the room and we instantly split.

"How'd it go? Was it alright? I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, Roxas! Do you forgive me?" He exclaimed to me.

"Uh. What? Yeah. It's okay. Don't worry about it." I was feeling quite awkward – what are you supposed to do when you've just made out with someone who's pretending to be your boyfriend to drive someone else off? It didn't exactly happen to me on a daily basis...

"Yay! I'll pay you back some time, I swear!" Demyx said with wide, apologetic eyes. Axel was just staring at me. It was really weird.

It was as if we were stuck on an island in some cartoon, and he hallucinated that I was a hotdog or something. He looked at my clothes and then back up at me with the same look. It was odd. But thankfully, Demyx clicked his fingers in front of his face, and said, "Axel! Stop lusting over sex-hair boy!"

I do not have sex hair.

"Huh? Uh. Sorry. What were you saying?" Axel looked up at Demyx.

"Exactly." Demyx replied while the other blushed slightly.

At that moment, my phone started vibrating in my pocket. I answered, grateful for the interruption.

"Hey, Roxas! You said you'd be home by 5:30 so that we could prepare for dinner!" It was Sora. I realised that we were meant to be having dinner with Leon, Cloud's boyfriend.

"Oh crap. Okay, I'll be there in... wait, it's not 5:30 yet."

"I know. Just warning you!"

"Okey doke." I chuckled and hung up the phone.

"I didn't hear the phone ring..." Demyx looked at me slightly suspiciously.

"It's on vibrate." I answered, bluntly.

"I think I can name of a few other things of yours that vibrate..." Axel said with a smirk.

"Of course you can, you're a pedo!" Demyx exclaimed.

"What?" I asked, clueless. I was still dumbstruck by what had just happened.

"He meant your vibrator."

Urgh. I hope this wouldn't become an ongoing inside joke.

Demyx ended up driving me home, and I got there in 10 minutes. When I knocked on the door, Sora opened it with a wide smile and dragged me in, demanding I wash my hands and help him prepare lasagne. I definitely didn't realise how good a cook he was until I saw him franticly moving around in the kitchen, preparing the meal. Somehow we ended up with food all over ourselves, but we managed to finish in time to change our clothes.

We were pretty impressed with Leon, and everything went pretty well. If the conversation seemed like it was going to die – which barely happened – Sora was sure to find another topic to talk about, as usual.

I had managed to figure out that they were both graduating from university, and had met when Cloud accidentally spilt coffee on Leon and then offered to take him to his house which was close to where they were, so that Leon could wear another t-shirt. And there was no way I was going to believe that that was accidental.

Leon left at about 11:30, after we had finished watching a movie. Cloud walked around the house smiling like a teenage girl with a crush, and Sora and I teased him. I finally went upstairs and checked my email, remembering that I hadn't seen Tidus in a while. He had written one to me from yesterday, which said:

Hey Roxas!
How's the new school going? Everyone here says hi, hope everything's going awesome. Write back soon and tell me all about it! We should meet up some time soon. Say hi to everyone for me.
–Tidus.

I smiled at the email and composed my reply as quickly as possible.

Hi, everything's going really well here. Sora introduced me to some really cool people. Sora and Cloud say hi back. We just had dinner with Cloud's new boyfriend, and I completely approve of him. How about tomorrow, if you're free then? There's so much to tell you. Hope you're doing well.
–Roxas.

I got a reply 10 minutes later after checking random things on the internet.

Hey!
I'm doing pretty well. And Cloud's got a boyfriend, hey? You'll have to tell me about him tomorrow. How about, meet at the Twilight Town shops after school tomorrow? I'll call you or something to see where you are. See you then!
–Tidus.

Twilight Town was the suburb between Hollow Bastion, where I now lived, and Traverse Town, where he lived.

Sounds awesome, I'll meet you there.
–Roxas.

I went to bed after replying and fell asleep pretty quickly, dreaming about how Larxene turned into a huge dragon and captured me as revenge for kissing Axel.

Hey! So, here's the third chapter. I had more fun writing this one than the others. Your opinions would be highly appreciated, but thanks a lot for reading! :)
