"Is Jojo alright?" Roxas asked as he and Axel walked through town that Saturday. "He left early and I didn't see you at all so I figured you took him home."

Axel smiled. "Yes, he's fine. Just wasn't feeling good at the moment was all, it passed once he laid down. He'll be back on Monday."

"That's good..." Roxas said, smiling softly. "I, uh, wanted to ask you..."

"What is it?"

"Do you want other people knowing we're going out?" Roxas asked, not meeting his eyes, blushing. "I understand if you don't, I-I mean, it won't bother me or anything, but I told Olette and Kairi, but that was stupid because Kairi will probably blab, but I want to make sure and-"

He was cut off as Axel lightly kissed him. "Roxas," he chuckled. "It's fine. I want people to know that I love you, okay?"

Roxas's blush darkened. "O-okay..."

"Did you hear??"

"I know!"

"-so lucky-"

"-not fair!"

Roxas sighed as he walked to his locker Monday, Axel and Jojo next to him. "I knew Kairi wouldn't be able to keep quiet."

Axel smiled, putting a hand on the blond's shoulder. "I don't mind, Roxas."

"Oh is it true, Roxas?!" a group of girls asked, crowding around the teen's locker.

Roxas gulped. "Er...is what true?"

"Are you really going out with Axel??"
"Are you gay?"

"Is Axel gay?!"

Axel frowned. "I'm right here you know. You can ask me." They all turned their attention on him, making him sigh. "Yes, we're going out. No, we're not gay. We're bi."

A blond girl shared a look with her friends. "So...this is just an experiment thing?"

Something in Axel's eyes flashed, making all of them, even Roxas, stare. He had never seen Axel get angry before. "No, it's not. In fact," he smirked, rather evilly, really. "I love Roxas."

"Oi, kid." Xigbar waved a hand in front of the black haired boy's face as Jojo stared out the window dully. "Everything okay?"

Jojo scowled, not answering. Axel was with Roxas again. It had been two months since they began dating. Two months! He might like Roxas, and he might like them together, but Axel still hadn't told Roxas anything and it was too much. Seducing him with a spell wasn't right; that wasn't love, that was...wrong.

'I...I have to tell him,' he realized, paling even more than usual. 'But if I do...Axel will never trust me again. He might never talk to me again either. But...it's for both of them. If Roxas is the one, it shouldn't matter,' Nodding, he went into his room, waving goodbye to Xigbar before locking himself in for the rest of the day.

It was dark when Axel returned. Jojo heard him walking up the stairs and paused at the younger siblings door. "...Whatever you do, Jojo..." The boy tensed. "Make sure it's worth whatever consequences that you'll face. I don't know what you're planning, but...don't be stupid, okay?"

He walked into his own room. Jojo clutched the front of his shirt, his heart pounding. He wondered if betraying Axel was worth it. He was his brother after all. He loved him. If they ever fought, their mother always toko advantage of it, and that's how their father was killed. They swore to never really fight again, but...

Shaking his head, he crept down the stairs and out the house. He knew where Roxas's house was, Axel had told him. He climbed up the side of the house easily, peering into the blond's bedroom. He was typing on the computer, smiling to himself. Jojo felt his heart ache but ignored it, knocking on the glass. Roxas jumped.

"Jojo?? How'd you get up here?!" Roxas asked, letting the black haired boy into the room.

Jojo took a deep breathe. "I...need to tell you something."

Roxas's eyes widened. "You're...talking!"

"Roxas, you need to keep quiet, okay?" he whispered, ignoring the shock from the blond. He had expected it. "I'm going to get into big trouble if they know where I am."

Roxas searched his eyes. "Who...?"

"We've been lying to you." Jojo said bluntly. "We're not...what you think we are." He chuckled humorlessly. "You probably won't believe me, really. You'll think I'm crazy, but that's okay. I need to tell you...Axel won't, not for a while. But I think waiting isn't right."

"I'll listen." Roxas guaranteed, giving a reassuring smile.

Jojo nodded. "Thank you, Roxas...Where to begin?...Okay, me and Axel, we're...not human." He turned to look him in the eye. "We're called Faeries. But not like what you're kind think. I'm not a push over, and I'm certainly not a whore."

Roxas gaped at him. "Are you serious??"

"Yes..." Jojo sighed. "Well, if you think that's bad..." He fiddled with his shirt. "You see, me and my brother are in the Court. Axel needs you, Roxas. He loves you, and he needs the one he loves to be seated with him in the Court or our mother will kill us so she can remain at the top."

"Top?" Roxas repeated, looking confused. "What do you mean?"

Jojo chuckled. "You're human women at school, they call Axel a Prince...But that's not true. He's the King, Roxas. Axel's the King of Summer. And without his Queen, Summer will never return to the world. Our mother will destroy it forever."
