Author: ZOMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! I never thought I'd make it to 60!

Oh...um yeah…beware, much more sexual in the beginning. Uh…sorry but ya'll should know this by now: if you don't like homosexual or self-love, then you shouldn't be reading this story.

Also, I didn't realize that there had been almost-sex for every character. When I re-read it, I was kinda disappointed in myself. I didn't mean for everything to just happen at once. Sorry!

Chapter Seven: Pesky Erections

Roxas stared at his ceiling, very much like Sora did only a night before, his eyes wandering over the unfamiliar contours. He didn't think like this often. He stretched over on his side, turning his gaze to the clock. It was well past midnight. His brother was snoring softly across the room. He hadn't bothered to ask what had happened or where he had been, he was too preoccupied by his own dilemma.

What was Axel getting at? That was all he could think about. Axel had come so close to him, seducing him. And he had drank it all in without a fight, and now that he reflected on it, it infuriated him. He was nobody's bitch.

But there was another thought there as well.

He had liked it. His body had never felt so alive, so good. Somewhere, in the back recess of his mind, he knew that he wanted those hands sliding over him again. The touching had been pure ecstasy, and he could only begin to comprehend what else might have had followed. What joys did Axel know? What more pleasure would have been forged?

It was driving him mad.

He squirmed, realizing desperately that the erection from before was coming out of hiding. "Go away…" he groaned, biting his lip. This was the last thing he wanted at the moment.

'And what about those muscles? How is he strong enough to keep me back like that? He looks so skinny, but he easily overpowered me,' he mused. It was rather a turn on, although he would never admit it. Then, a thought emerged and he sat straight up, eyes wide. 'Oh crap! I have to go to that stupid Decoration Committee thing tomorrow! We're the only ones…. Oh shit… I have to be alone with him!'

Normally, Roxas was one of the last people to be intimidated by someone, even if they were stronger and more intelligent. But now that it was personal, he was absolutely terrified.

'What if he corners me again? Or he might slam me against the wall. Then he'd kiss me, and the bastard would pry try to stick his tongue in. But then those hands would rest on my hips again. And he'd lift my shirt… maybe he'd put me on the floor…no that'd be too easy…' He blinked, realizing he had conjured a fantasy. Not only had that hardened the organ he had been trying to ignore, but it scared him further. Why wasn't he thinking of a girl?

He sighed, getting up. Only a shower would get rid of this annoyance, other than his hand, of course. He rid himself of clothes, which had hurt rather in the pants region, and got in. With the hot water streaming over him, he managed to relax a little, resting his head against the tile.

'I wonder how sex would be in a shower…' the thought surprised him. He had hoped to get past that! But the thought escalated. 'What about having sex with Axel? He'd have the experience… him naked…and wet..'

Roxas gave in, no longer going to fight the ache. His hand slithered down as the fantasy took place before his eyes. The steam in the shower was replaced with the steam from two bodies pushing against each other. He clenched his teeth against Axel in him, hands digging into the blankets, his chest sticking to the silk sheets he was sprawled out on. 'Fuck…'

-------------

Axel gripped his partner's bum provocatively, slowly withdrawing his tongue ending the kiss in a way only he knew how. The girl gripped his shirt, eyes closed, leaning against him. "I take it I win the bet," he purred, releasing her grip gently.

She nodded, going back to her girlfriend, who glowered at him.

He beamed, removing his red hair from his eyes, "would you like a sample too? I said I could turn any person straight or gay."

"No thanks," she said coolly, getting up and dragging her significant other with her.

Axel's flavor of the day grinned, pulling him back. "Are you jealous?" the redhead asked, turning around and tugging on his ear with his teeth.

"Yes," the boy replied, pushing into Axel's grip so that they were as close as possible, twisting to get deeper into his arms. "I know I only have you for a day… Everything of yours…" the boy paused pulling back slightly, his hungry hazel eyes flickering down the snug-fitting black shirt and jeans Axel was wearing, licking his lips absently. "I want all of you. Those hands, your body against me, your kisses…god your kisses…" he pushed forward, devouring what was his for a few hours.

Axel reached up, fisting the black locks, holding the fellow teen in place. He was pleased to hear the clicking sound of their tongue piercings joining, closing his green eyes to the party that was going on around him.

Deep down, however, his heart was slowing, the stone wall adding another layer to cover the cracks that had surfaced. He was being used. He was always being used.

His eyes opened and he saw a flash of blond hair. He pulled away from his partner, craning to see. Roxas? No… his heart sunk. It wasn't the boy he admired.

He turned back to the teen, who's name he didn't even know. He smiled apologetically, resuming the kiss. His eyes closed, and he numbed himself, no longer feeling the manipulation, as was custom to his daily routine, even as they wound their way to his bedroom.

-------------

Sora sighed happily, his eyes wandering towards the window. Sadly, this wasn't the class where he could see Riku, the love of his life. But it did offer a good view of the clouds, which could form anything with the right imagination. He was just so… happy. A warmth welled inside him, threatening to come out. He capped it, of course, afraid that it was too good to be true.

Oh but it was. They had run off to the bathroom together, sharing a kiss so sweet and full of passion that letting go had been heart wrenching. Yet, Riku had promised more, so he did his best to not cling like a child.

He sighed again, an absurd smile on his face. How could he not be happy? The guy he had secretly loved for years loved him back, and they could barely keep their hands off each other. When they were around each other, they had to touch, their fingertips sliding against the other's skin. They were innocent, never going towards the kiss they had shared their first night, taking it slow.

At the same time however, Sora knew that when they finally shared their bodies to each other, he would be scared, yes, but untimely happy. He closed his eyes, the image before him resting on Riku with a cocky smile, one brow raised suggestively.

"Sora…" A feminine voice whispered in his ear.

He jumped, looking around wildly. The class was empty except for Namine' who had been shaking him awake. "You fell asleep in class. Sensei was angry, but I told him you had trouble sleeping last night."

"Thanks…" he mumbled, yawning. "Is it recess?" he asked.

"Actually…" she scratched her head. "School's ended. You've been asleep for all your periods. No one could wake you."

He stared at her, mouth open. "Where's Riku?" his voice arched, jumping up. "I promised I'd see him! Oh no…I hope he's not mad!"

"Relax, he's waiting for you. He wanted to come get you, but I wanted to talk to you real quick."

The brunette rubbed the sleepy out of his eyes, shaking his head distractedly. "What about?"

"Well, Kairi and I have been planning a cruise of sorts."

"Really?" He focused on her, now interested.

"Yes, but there's a catch."

"Wha-"

"All of you have to be gay," she said before he could finish. "Now, I already know about you and Riku. That makes it easy, and you two could share a room." She winked, before continuing, "My dad refuses to let straight men go with us. I know Roxas will want to go, but he'll have to share a room with Axel." she finished, getting to the point.

"He won't." Sora said flatly.

"I know, that's why we have to get him to want to. I know Axel's all for it, but Roxas is too stubborn."

Sora nodded, yawning again. "I'll think of something. Can we talk later? I really-"

"Want to get to Riku," she finished helpfully, getting a short nod from her friend. "All right, I won't keep you any longer. Remember to think on it!"

"I will," he called as he dashed off. When the silver-haired lover came into sight, he tackled him, hugging him tightly.

"There's sleeping beauty," Riku teased, pulling Sora's chin up and sweeping him into a gentle kiss, picking him up off the ground.

"I'm so sorry," the brunette murmured, burying himself into his lover's chest. "I wanted to see you… I can't believe I fell asleep."

"Don't worry about it," Riku's rich baritone washed over his ears, still carrying him bridal-style. "But now I know you can't handle late night outs."

"Hey!" Sora protested, pouting. "I can too! I've just had a lot of sleepless nights in a row…"

"With who?"

"What?"

"Never mind," Riku shrugged. "Just kidding."

Sora's brow furrowed at him, but it was forgotten when he was set down, their hands automatically connecting as Riku led on. "Where are we going?" he asked to break the silence.

"You'll see…" his silver-haired lover taunted, a smirk tugging at his lips.

"I hate it when people say that!" the brunette grumbled, his blue eyes sweeping over the landscape. They weren't going towards home, that much was for certain. It wasn't the same road that Axel had taken him on either, for it was pure dirt with grass growing on the sides. Obviously, it wasn't a paved trail, but it was trampled on, so it must have been used often.

They lapsed into a content silence for a while, when they reached their destination. A slow climb downwards into a gradual ravine revealed a little stream where fish no bigger than his index finger darted here and there, low reeds poking up through the sides and large rocks dotting the area here and there. Further down was a concrete tunnel surrounded by brush that seemed to go abruptly upwards then flat. Graffiti flanked its sides, reading things such as "this is the end" and "Johnny was here."

Riku led him towards that tunnel, leaning against "you're all my bitches" complete with a skull, letting go of Sora's hand to cross his arms. "It's an old hide out… I mean, it's not much, and a lot of people know about it, but it's typically peaceful."

"I like it," Sora bubbled, smiling.

This seemed to please the teen, a little smile gracing his face. Only then did the brunette realize his boyfriend hardly smiled. He leaned forward, placing his tiny arms around Riku's waist, resting against him. "It's pretty here."

Riku said nothing, releasing his arms from their grip on each other, one going around Sora's waist, the other reaching up and stroking the cinnamon spikes. This elicited a happy vibration from the boy, so he continued, tugging playfully here and there.

"There's more up top…" he said after basking in the sweet moment. "If you want to see it."

"I do…" Sora whispered, as if afraid to break the peace.

They broke apart, going through the tunnel. Sora had trouble, as it was slipper and he was afraid of touching the railing since he had a feeling creepy crawlies had no trouble nesting on the rusty metal. Thus, he had to hang onto Riku, going up the steep concrete, struggling to find proper footing. After a difficult climb that involved many stumbles and exclamations when puddles were stepped in, they reached the other end, light breaking the almost complete darkness of the concrete hellhole.

Awe spread across his tanned face as Sora looked at the tree that spread out before him, several times higher than the school building, its branches thick with leaves bigger than his hands. Strange yellow and pink blossoms covered the spaces between leaves, creating a sickly sweet perfume that permeated the air.

"That's Aerith…" Riku said in hushed tones, tilting his head to see all of the tree at once. "They say the tree grew in the spot of a girl that was murdered…though no one can prove it's true."

"It….it's strangely sad. But welcoming…" Sora said hesitantly, slowly approaching the tan bark. He laid his hand across it gingerly, as if the tree would suddenly bolt from its spot. "It's warm," he said in surprise.

"Yeah…" Riku confirmed noncommittally,

Sora bent his head so that his forehead touched the peeling bark, resting briefly before perking up again. "Thanks…"

"For what?" came the surprised response.

"For bringing me here. It just feels…special."

"If you say so…" Riku said perplexedly, giving his boyfriend an amused, but bewildered look. His feet crushed the decaying leaves underfoot as he approached the tree as well. Although he had been here many times, he still felt like he should pay respect and homage to such a magnificent organism.

Before long however, the peace was shattered as they raced to climb the branches, laughing gaily as they reached the last branch they could get to without getting dangerous, collapsing against the trunk as they scrambled to catch their breath.

"I told you…I would…win…" Riku gasped.

"You…did not….I…won…" Sora wheezed.

"I did…"

"I did…"

"We both did…" Riku said dismissively, clutching Sora close so they were comfortable in the branches. The tree seemed to cradle them, perfectly molded to their bodies for maximum support. He felt no danger of falling towards the ground a few stories below.

The brunette grinned, tilting his head up to look at the teal eyes that mocked him gently. The magic lasted, his body commenced a one hundred and eighty degree turn, and their lips locked, the fantasy of the groove rising around them as the birds sang, frogs croaked and crickets hummed in a tune only the wilderness knew.

Zexion watched Demyx's lips with a feral gaze. Those lips slowly sucked in a cherry from the sundae, the stem protruding between them. Smooth fingers plucked the inedible object from the succulent fruit, twirling it thoughtfully.

Demyx noticed, his blond brows raising suggestively. "Can you tie a stem with your tongue?" he asked, leaning across the table.

"I've never tried," Zexion responded, tearing his eyes away from the sight that no longer existed.

"I can…" Demyx confidently declared, swallowing the fruit. "Wanna see"
The teacher shrugged nonchalantly, though his eyes sparkled with interest. He knew exactly what was being suggested, and he didn't mind playing the game at all.

Demyx took the stem between his teeth, grinning comically before his lips closed. His eyes screwed as if in thought, and then, just a few seconds later, stuck out his tongue, the stem tied in a neat knot. "Toldja!"

"I see," Zexion drawled, taking his own cherry between his lips, his eyes still glinting with carnal hunger. He bit into the juicy fruit, slowly swallowing, tantalizing his partner. "I take it you want me to try."

"Afraid you can't?"

"No," the young professional curtly replied. He took the stem between his teeth as Demyx had demonstrated, closing his eyes in concentration. Dammit all, after nearly half a minute he was finding himself unable to keep the stem in the right position long enough between his tongue and teeth to create a loop needed for a knot. He gracefully spat it out on a napkin, biting his lip.

"Guess that means I'm the better kisser," the blond taunted.

"I can do those wretched wrappers," Zexion said suddenly.

"Oh?" a slow grin spread across Demyx's face. "I want to see this."

"I don't have a Starburst on me."

"Why don't you show me?"

A glance around the room showed that there was but two people, both of whom were hidden behind magazines, sipping ice coffee. The workers at the Shoppe weren't even at the register, they had disappeared into the employee area, where a soft rumble of chit-chat could be heard.

Pleased by the lack of humans, the white-haired man rose to the challenge, leaning across the table to meet the soft lips that were still slightly swollen from before. Now that they had let their initial fervent wanting out, all that was left was an underlying desire. This made it easy for him to torture the boy with a slow, steady pace that left both yearning for more.

Demyx swooned against him, succumbing to the excruciating kiss. A burst of vanilla and cinnamon filled his mouth as Zexion entered. When they parted, he found himself wiping away a small amount of saliva, the licorice scent of cologne still lingering in the air around him. Heavens knows that smell was just so sexy.

"Let's get out of here," Zexion suggested in a low whisper, still inches away from the teen's face.

"Where would we go?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Demyx thought about it for a minute before a slow blush fell across his face. "Let's just leave, the female workers are staring."

Zexion cast a glance around to see that indeed they had emerged, and were quite entranced by the show they had displayed. "To the car, then," he said dismissively, straightening up.

Once they were safely in the vehicle, the young man turned to his even younger prey, cocking a brow. "Well where did you want to go?"

"I don't really want to go anywhere…" Demyx said hesitantly, sliding into the leather seat.

A sudden thought crossed the psychologist's mind. Of course, something was obviously on the blonde's mind. And what could it be? Oh it was so easy, even if he hadn't been of his profession he would have guessed true. "Are you suggesting we go back to my house?"

"Y-you want to?" Demyx caught his breath, heart racing. He already had the beginnings of an erection coming along. He couldn't remember feeling so turned on before, and if anything, he wasn't about to turn the opportunity down. He was enjoying himself immensely.

Zexion weighed the options in his mind, closing his eyes so that he wouldn't be distracted.

-------------

Roxas balked at the sight of Axel. He had forgotten exactly how large the gym was with only two people in it. He swallowed nervously and approached the redhead, his eyes on the floor. "I'll finish the blossoms…" he said flatly, masking his true feelings.

"Fine by me," Axel said in his usual amiable tone, his eyes never wavering from his work.

With shaking fingers, he traced the rest of the sakura blossoms with pink chalk, mentally cursing himself for the loud heartbeat and the ringing in his ears.

It was only a couple of minutes later did he notice Axel side glancing him.

"What's…your problem?" he growled, his tone ringing harshly after a slight hesitation.

"Nothing," the redhead said with a wink, his green eyes sparkling.

"St-stop!"

"Why, I'm not doing anything."

"Just screw off!" Roxas hissed, his cheeks burning as he finished the last blossom. Why oh why had he allowed himself to be pressured into this stupid thing. Why?

"Hey Axel," A soft, feminine voice sprouted in the air, the tone managing to vibrate off the walls.

Said redhead whirled around with blond to see a brunette beauty staring straight at him.

"Um, hey…" he said, quirking a brow. He had no idea who this girl was. She was definitely gorgeous, but that didn't mean she had business with him.

"Are you going to this dance with anyone?" She asked frankly without seeming rude.

Caught off guard, Axel scratched the back of his neck, wondering what to do. He didn't have a date, but that was because he was planning on abducting Roxas for the event. "Yeah, actually," he said finally.

Strangely, Roxas was disappointed by the news. He had secretly hoped for the answer to be no, though part of him wondered viciously why he even gave a rat's ass.

"Who?" she inquired sweetly.

"Him," Axel said with a broad grin, his arm slipping around the thin boy's frame. The blonde's eyes widened as he found himself in a hot, steamy kiss, one that he didn't even try to struggle out of. An intoxicating aroma of spices and a strange tangy scent filled his nostrils and mouth, and he realized that it was pleasant, and coming from the redhead. Once over, he dazedly fell against the wall as the girl laughed prettily, even if she was insulted, stalking out.

One thought stuck in his mind: it was going to be all over school. People were going to say he was a homosexual.
