A/N: This is not my first yaoi fanfiction. Any flames you have, well, you can keep them to yourself. I know damned well that they aren't gay in the games/manga, but I do have the right to my imagination being shared with the public. ;3

Hardo Gei, HOOO! Yes. I love Hard Gay. Look him up on YouTube. HILARIOUS! Anyway, here's the third chapter. And, ta-da, ENTER: AXEL! Boy, Roxas is not prepared for this. You won't be either.

Warning(s): Rated MA for future lemons in future chapters. This involves yaoi, which is m/m sexual relations. If that freaks you out, then I wonder why you stumbled on this fanfic to begin with… hmm…

Pairings: So far, you've got to know it will end up Axel/Roxas. You're secretly getting unknown hints of Riku/Sora. And, if you're weird, sometimes I put in some Riku/Roxas or Roxas/Sora. XD YOU'RE CONFUSED!

Twilight Town's sandlot was bustling with activity. Several citizens from all over came to cheer on the Struggle match, all ready to see if someone could win against Setzer. The match was down to four finalists. A tall, lean teenager who seemed like he had been in a few gang fights with his smug attitude who seemed to have some people to back him up. A shorter blonde with slicked back hair and cargo pants that looked like he had a serious attitude problem when it came to strangers. An odd, short little… person… with a pointy hat that seemed to giggle a lot; very mysterious. And, last but not least, a spiky haired blonde with dashing crystalline eyes, who looked to have troubles beyond anyone's comprehension.

For a moment, the picture blurred, almost as if it were being watched on a television and the projection was lost.

In a clash of friendship, both blonde's fought. The spiky-haired male ended up wining, much to the other's dismay. Then it was the tall gang member fighting against his short companion. The tall teen lost in a flash of mysterious, awed faces. Finally, it was the blonde against the small one.

Time froze right as the blonde gave his final blow. Golden hair shimmered in the sunlight as he fell to one knee, glancing around with wide eyes as he stared at the faces of his friends and fellow civilians. How could they just suddenly become frozen like that? "-----, all right! Fight, fight, fight." The blonde turned to see a man cloaked in black, a hood over his face, coming towards him on the sandlot stage. His cerulean eyes narrowed and he clutched his Struggle weapon a bit tighter.

"You really don't remember? It's me. You know, A—"…

Roxas awoke in a cold sweat. He sat up straight, only his arms supporting him, as his chest heaved. What was going on? Those dreams weren't scary… so why did he wake up as if they were? That blonde… he never got a good look at his face. But the crimson-haired man… he… he could make that guy out rather well. Who were they? And why would he have dreams about people he didn't even know? They didn't even have anything to do with him, so there was no reason to dream about them, right? Nonetheless, there were plaguing his mind. And he couldn't afford to let odd dreams like that interfere with his 'new life'.

It was a good thing he had woken up, because about three minutes later, the door slammed open and Sora came bounding in, fully dressed and smelling clean. Today he wore a uniform, it seemed. Roxas couldn't quite place it, but it just didn't seem like something Sora would wear. The pants were a shade of blue that seemed to fit right in with his room, while his shirt was just your average white button up with a school crest on the upper left on the chest. He could barely read the inscription from so far away, but he learned later that school was called 'Destiny Academy for Boys'.

"Wakey, wakey, no eggs and bacey for you because it just leads to large thighs and buttocks" Sora sang with a snicker as he hopped onto his step-brother's bed and starting hopping up and down, though careful not to accidentally land on any of the blonde's limbs. Roxas groaned, having not wanted to get up. He buried his head under his pillow. How can Sora wake up so early? He was up later than me… Roxas wondered with a frown as the brunette showed no signs of letting up on his bouncing.

"You wouldn't want to be late on your first day of new school, would you? Come oooon!" he droned, falling on top of the dark lump on the bed, tickling Roxas' sides. The blonde, being very ticklish, couldn't help but burst into hysterical laughter. He popped out of the blankets, crystalline hues already shimmering from the slender fingers over his sensitive sides.

"S-Sora! D-d-dooon't!" he pleaded, trying to squirm away. However, Sora, finding this knew information, was not going to let him go that easily.

"Oh ho ho, I don't think so!" Sora teased. He didn't stop until Roxas seemed exhausted to the point where he just fell limp. The brunette giggled a bit and sat at the blonde's side, waiting for him to recover so they could get a move on. Eventually, Roxas sat up, glaring slightly at the other just in case Sora decided he wasn't finished with the tickling. When he found that he probably wouldn't, he slowly released his own sides.

"So… what time is it, anyway?"

Sora grinned happily and hopped off the bad. Geeze, the guy was so flexible and active, the blonde could swear he would end up being an acrobat or something. He hoped his step-brother didn't have a dose of sugar for breakfast… that would definitely be hell for most of the morning. But he smirked, shaking his head as he raked slender fingers through his blonde hair. Sora wasn't as bad as he 'made him out to be', but Roxas just had to get used to his full attitude. For nearly one day, he had to say he was getting used to him pretty fast.

"It's 7 o'clock! So get up, sleepy head! Riku is going to come and get us in a half an hour!" The brunette pulled on Roxas' arm and dragged him out of bed. Nearly falling on the floor if it hadn't been for Sora's grip, the blonde grunted and nodded, slipping out of the other's grasp to head into his bathroom – the next door in the hall. Sora exited his room after him, but waved when he saw his mother coming down the hall. Roxas looked up and blinked, but nodded his head to acknowledge she was there.

"Good morning, dears," Sonya said with a kind smile, reached out and smoothing her son's hair as he happily waddled over to her. Roxas could feel a ting of jealousy but he shook it away. He and his mother would never have that kind of relationship; he should just get over it now and get done with it.

"G'morning, mama! Nii-chan is going to take a shower, isn't that great?!" Sora, in an odd, almost serious happy voice, asked as he wrapped his arms around his mother's thin waist. Roxas heard her laugh and blushed. Even her laugh sounded beautiful. Sora was really lucky, or at least that's what the blonde thought.

"That's wonderful. It's good for him to keep clean." The woman slowly took her hands away from Sora and slipped out of his strong arms, stepping over to Roxas. His cheeks heated and he contemplated on hiding in the bathroom behind him, but he had thought too late, for the woman had placed her small hands on his shoulders and had leaned down to press a gentle kiss on his forehead. "Have a good day at school, sweetheart."

Roxas' shower didn't take long. Like always, he was in and out within five minutes. With a towel wrapped around his waist, he attempted to dry his hair with a blow dryer so he could fix it in its usual spiky way before having to get dressed. He stayed in front of the mirror for longer than he was in the shower, but he eventually left the bathroom and headed into his bedroom…

…only to find Riku and Sora talking on his bed.

"Do you mind?" he snapped, wrapping the towel a bit more securely around his waist since he was paranoid that it would fall off. Riku and Sora both looked over, but Sora was the only one who giggled. Riku just smirked at him, those beautiful eyes flashing. Roxas immediately found himself blushing, so he turned his back. It was a good thing that his hair didn't obey him when he tried to style it this morning, because he was blushing so hard that his ears turned red.

"Yay, nii-chan is out of the shower!" Sora cheered, hopping up and down on the bed while Riku chuckled softly at both Roxas and the brunette who was acting like his regular happy self. Roxas inched towards his dresser, which agonizingly brought him closer to the pair on the bed. Riku must have finally decided it was time for them to leave, for Roxas could see the platinum-haired man grip Sora's arm gently and lead him out of the room.

"Let's give him some privacy," he said, glancing back at Roxas one last time before fully leading his hyper step-brother from the room. Roxas felt his throat dry, but he swallowed and shook it from his system. This would be his first day of new school. He didn't want to burden himself with thinking Riku was trying to drive him crazy. Although, remembering how the pale man had cupped his cheek and came so close to his face the other day…

"AUGH." The blonde kept his towel on until he pulled his clothes out of his new dresser, merely because he was still paranoid about someone coming into the room. Since there were still clothes in his dresser that he knew he wasn't going to wear, he had made sure yesterday that he placed the ones he did want to wear on the top of the pile. He wasn't going to get dressed in regular clothing, since the academy required a uniform, but Sora told him to bring an extra change of clothes because they might take him out some place after school ended.

Despite how his step-brother had bought him a new backpack, he was still much more content with his black one. He stuffed a green turtle neck and cool baggy pants with a design on the pockets inside of his pack and wobbled back over to his dresser to get his uniform and some boxers.

The uniform mirrored Sora's exactly. It was a perfect fit, though surprising because Sora seemed to be a bit snug in his own uniform, but he felt comfortable in the while shirt and dark blue trousers. Roxas gripped the end of his button up shirt, admiring the crest, when Sora barged back into the room. Riku followed soon after, and Roxas noticed that the male was wearing the same uniform that they were, only the top of his button up wasn't buttoned, exposing his thin collarbones and what looked like the chain necklace that Sora had been wearing when Roxas met him at the train station.

"Wow! Nii-chan looks so cute in his uniform, huh Riku?" Sora asked, draping his arms around his step-brother's shoulders. Roxas, feeling a bit smothered, merely rubbed the back of his head and laughed awkwardly. Riku smirked, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched the two, but he didn't say anything. It seemed to fit the guy's personality, but Roxas had to wonder what Riku was thinking about with that smirk plastered on his face.

Sora pulled back and Roxas flicked his crystalline gaze straight into his step-brother's, blinking slowly. "You didn't have breakfast, nii-chan. Ohh, you know they sell food in our school's cafeteria in the morning! Riku, could we lend him some money?"

Roxas flushed again, shaking his head as he absently placed two hands on Sora's shoulders. "No, no… I'm not really hungry," he mumbled, frowning when he saw Riku get up from his bed and fish in his dark blue trousers for his wallet. "Really, you don't have to…"

"Don't be silly, Roxas. You need energy on your first day of school, right?" Riku questioned with a slender quirk of his brow. Roxas lowered his chin and glanced at the floor, but it seemed like he wasn't getting out of this. Even though he wasn't looking at the platinum haired man, he knew that he was smirking.

"Yahoo! Let's go now!" Sora exclaimed, letting Roxas go now. Riku pulled a ten from his wallet and forced it into the blonde's hands, but smiled at him. Was that the first time he had smiled instead of smirked? Roxas felt his ears burn, but he distracted himself by glancing at Sora, who was smiling a lot more brightly at him, almost as if he were dazed and thinking about the day ahead.

Roxas sighed a bit and ended up smiling. He shoved the money into his pocket just as Riku had shoved his wallet back into his own pocket and then nodded. "Yeah. Let's go." Sora galloped happily out of the room, leading the way towards the front door, which inconveniently happened to be quite a walk from Roxas' room.

-

Riku's black Mustang was covered in snow when they got outside. For a few minutes, the platinum haired man was swiping it off, while Sora and Roxas talked in the car, cold and bundled up in their coats. Sora wasn't wearing the same coat as he did the day Roxas met him. Instead, it was light blue, adorned in all kinds of random pins. Sora especially showed him his favorite—the one on his sleeve that said 'my cat could kick your dog's ass', which led to the brunette confessing that he actually didn't have a cat, but he did have an imaginary one named Pluto.

Before Roxas could ask why Sora didn't just get a real cat, Riku came in and made a face. "Talking about cats?" he asked, seemingly irritated. Sora giggled and sat back in the front seat, but didn't respond to Riku.

"Riku is allergic to cats. He blows up like a balloon whenever he touches one!" the brunette explained but Riku seemed to glare at him and he covered both hands over his mouth, though he still seemed amused to have told Roxas that sort of information. The platinum male sighed and started the car, and then they were off.

So that's why Sora doesn't get a cat, Roxas concluded in his head with a slight nod in reality to confirm it. He looked up to notice Riku glancing at him through the rear view mirror again. He flushed. Why did Riku always look at him when he looked up? It was… an odd feeling. Like his stomach was doing back flips.

They talked in the car like always, but the conversation was really only between Sora and Roxas. Sora did most of the talking, and once in a rare while, Riku would say something, but only if the brunette asked him something. It turned out that the school wasn't all that far from the house-mansion. But still, Roxas felt like they were still riding for a long time. Silence eventually fell over the three when Riku turned the radio on to calm Sora down and the brunette began to sing happily to the music. The blonde pressed his cheek against the window and watched the snowflakes melt as soon as they touched the window. Like usual, he almost found himself falling asleep, but before he could, the car pulled into a parking lot and Riku turned off the car.

"We're here," Riku stated the obvious and pushed open the door after pulling the keys out of the ignition. From Roxas' current position, he couldn't see the building. Sora quickly got out and rounded to open the door for him before he could get out, and then reached out to his step-brother with a grin.

"You'll be so happy here! It's the best school ever!"

Really? Roxas had to wonder as he took Sora's hand just to satisfy his weird step-brother. He slowly got out of the car and gaped at the building. It was a lot fancier than his old schools had been. But the blonde had to say, the large stone building looked beautiful when it was covered and surrounded in the soft light of the snow. The building itself was a little darker than the color of his jacket, not that one could see the color with all the snow that was falling. Wide, large glass doors were what welcomed the students into the front entrance, and front where he stood next to the car, Roxas could see what looked like staff members accepted student's coats. What, did they not have lockers?

Riku started to walk towards the building, but he looked amused by Roxas' reaction. Sora hurried to catch up to him, but made sure to glance over his shoulder to see that Roxas wouldn't he glued to his spot. "Wait 'till you see the inside," he chirped cheerfully, and began hopping through the snow, yellow converse disappearing every time his feet touched the ground. Roxas began to slowly follow, his eyes wide like a kid on Christmas. He was exited to see what was on the inside, really.

Too bad he didn't get to.

Roxas had been following the two about 14 feet behind them, craning his neck as he stared up at the building like he had when he saw the house-mansion. It was amazing. He would have never been able to go to this school if his father hadn't met Sonya. Roxas just wished that—

The last thing he saw was a bright light to his right, and the suddenly shocked faces of Riku and Sora as they whipped around. Maybe Roxas didn't hear the squealing of tires and the yell of someone telling him to get out of the way as a red Saturn's tired locked up from trying to brake on the snow and ended up hitting him…

Riku quickly broke away from Sora in a tense rush. The car had skidded and hit Roxas probably around 25 mph and it didn't look like it wasn't painful. Sora was screaming and students gathered around the red car that had now stopped. The driver of the car kicked open the door and rushed out before Riku could get a chance to see that Roxas lay half under the front of the Saturn, obviously knocked out. The driver's hair was probably the same flaming color of his car. His eyes were slanted and a brilliant emerald green, his chin sharp but a bit longer than Riku's, and there seemed to be some kind of tattoos of upside down, long triangles right below both of his eyes.

"Shit, shit, SHIT!" the man cursed, kneeling down next to Roxas but afraid to touch him. As soon as Riku reached them, he exploded.

"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?! IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE! THIS IS A FUCKING PARKING LOT!" Students that had gathered around backed up at the sound of the normally quiet young man yelling with such anger and passion in his voice. Sora nearly slipped when he ran to Riku's side, and instantly burst into tears when he saw the snow around Roxas was red, rather than the pale white.

A/N: OMG. Did I just leave you in a cliffhanger? What will happen to Roxas?! OHNOES!
