DISCLAIMER: I DONT OWN KINGDOM HEARTS OR ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS!


Sun light peeked its way through the window blinds making small dancing rays form on the sleeping figures. Shuffling was heard from the kitchen, it seemed that Roxas was awake and was making himself a small sandwich before he left to go find Axel and hang around him till he gets told to go away. Hurrying himself up and not wanting to make to much noise, he didn't want to wake up the two sleeping brunettes from their slumber. Plus he doesn't feel like answering questions, specially answering anything his older brother wanted to ask. Setting the mayonnaise covered butter knife in the sink he made his way towards the door and silently slipping on his shoes. He set out towards Axel's apartment on the seventeenth floor, closing the door behind him slowly he scampered off.

Sora was starting to wake up from his warm peaceful morning, a morning he would love to wake up everyday for the rest his life. Especially if his brother was going to stay with Leon and him for now on. Inhaling deeply he scooted closer to the warmth that was being generated from the far end of the bed. Snuggling deeper into the covers and closer to the warm body he slightly started to wake up and open his eyes. He had to blink a couple of times to get the blurriness to clear away. And every time he blinked a face was becoming clear and clear for him to see and recognize. He widen his eyes has he was mere inches away from Leons face, So close that he can count the number of eye lashes. He stayed still not wanting to make any movement that might wake Leon up. His heart speed up out of his control and his mind went into auto pilot, he felt himself getting closer and closer towards Leons persona. So torturing close to those lips, the lips that he is now carving with his whole being. And finally his lips met Leons and something inside him bloomed making him feel wonderful and everything around him felt hazy. His heart flared with joy with just a small innocent kiss, a kiss he might not be able to enjoy again.

'Wait. I-I cant be doing this. He's my friend, only a friend as much as it hurts to say it.' the thought ran through Soras head. So at that thought he pulled away sadness sinking into his stomach murdering the happiness he never felt when he kissed Axel. 'I cant use him like this. Just because his here by my side since that horrible day, I cant mistaken it with feelings of love. We can both get hurt and that is something I don't want to cause him.' Sora convinced himself as he sinked into the comforter closing his eyes. He felt like crying wanting something he cant have since he doesn't now how Leon felt. 'I cant push it on him. I cant let him decide it wouldn't be fair. Oh what am I babbling about.' he huffed opening his eyes. Something caught his eye, Leon was staring to wake up. Sora got a tad bit nervous, what is he going to do he looked around swiftly trying to find something to help him. But nothing seemed to offer any help and at the corner of his eye he saw Leons mouth form syllables and the words that formed and flowed out of Leons thin lips surprised Sora to no end.

"I Love You, Sora." a sleepy Leon said has he shifted under the covers.

There was a tight squeeze in his heart while the feeling of butterflies swarmed everywhere in his body. He couldn't believe it he just heard Leon say 'I Love You' to him. Even though he was asleep he still said it and the sadness that was once there disappeared leaving no trace behind it. But Sora still wanted to know if what he heard was correct and not a fragment of his imagination. 'Oh Sora who are you trying to convince. He said it right? I LOVE YOU those three little but wonderful words to you and only you. What are you trying to hide away from? ' his conscious fought with him. 'But he's asleep he could've I don't know meant it as a friendly I Love You. Plus I really cant go through another disappointment. I don't think I take it this time.' He argued as he decided not to think about it to much but he wont shrug it off that quickly. He'll just have to give it some time to see if its really true what Leons subconscious just spoke out. But he couldn't fight down the small little squeal of happiness escape his lips. And this was the final notch to wake Leon from his sleep; Sora closes his eyes quickly hoping that Leon didn't catch him staring at him.

Leon on the other hand was starting to come back to reality from his dream that he didn't want to wake up from. But he could shake off the feeling that he felt lips on his own a couple of minutes ago and especially that it synced according to his dream. Plus he would have wished for that to be true; getting a sweet and innocent kiss from Sora. But choosers cant be beggars now can they. He would have to settle with being close to him and that was enough to but his heart at ease. Sighing deeply he opened his eyes to be welcomed by the peaceful sleeping face of his fragile Angel. Smiling to himself he brought one of his hands to crease the tanned skin loving the feeling of the soft skin coming in contact with his. He wanted time to stop and stay like this forever forgetting everything and everyone around them. To be just them here and now but lets face it that cant be true unless you were God himself but they weren't so he just had to settle with what was now. He chuckled and pushed himself onto a sitting position on the bed and looked towards the digital clock. The number shined in there bright blue color signaling that it was 08:32 and that it was time to get out of bed and into the shower. So Leon did just that, getting out of bed and fixed the covers over Sora and disappeared into the bathroom.

As Leon was on the other side of the bathroom door he brought his right hand and grazed his lips wanting to feel the sweet soft lips on his again. But knowing that was a dream and it may never come true, he pushed the bubbly feeling down that was building up inside him. 'Come on, Leon. Get a grip you cant lose it around Sora not yet. You still have to see that he returns your feelings. I don't want to scare him off and destroy the friendship we have.' Leon reasoned with himself as he shook his head inhaling and exhaling. He pushed himself away from the door and walked towards the shower while his bare feet come in contact with the cold tile floor. As he reached his destination he pulled the shower door open and twisted the handle to let the warm water spurt out of the shower head. Letting the water get to a hot temperature, he shed of his only remaining clothing his boxers. Grabbing them from the floor he set them in the cloth hamper and he stepped into the warm water. Relaxing under the soft pressure of the water hitting his skin drenching his hair as it made it stick to the back of his neck. Tipping his head back he let the water wash over his face and brought back up.

In the other side of the bathroom door, Sora was swimming in his embarrassment of stealing a kiss from Leon and hearing his confession. He couldn't contain himself anymore he let out small giggles when he heard the shower rain out water telling him that Leon wouldn't be able to hear him giggle. He was in high heaven he guessed that this day couldn't get any better. He spranged out of bed and skipped into his room to go get changed for the rest of the day. Sora couldn't keep himself still with all the giddiness that was coursing through his body. But he reminded himself that he still need to hear Leon say it to him completely face-to-face. And with that he calmed himself down and grabbed some warm winter clothing, he wasn't going to make the same mistake from last time. As he changed into his outfit he walked into the bathroom at the same time Leon had finished showering. The loud cluck sound of the shower door brought Sora to reality and turned his head to see Leon standing there wet and naked. Soras brain stopped working as his full attention was now concentrated onto Leons lean muscular body out in full view in front of him. Leon stood there quietly letting the small droplets of water slide down his bronzed skin. Watching Sora for any sign of reaction to this unexpected sequence of events. Soras mind was invaded by one thought and one thought alone... 'Leon is.. uh he's well equipped down there.' and this thought made Sora blush close enough that he might get a nosebleed.

"I'm sorry!" he squealed as he ran out of the bathroom his face beat red. 'Oh my God. Did-did I just think that! Oh man I did.' Sora jumped into his bed hiding under the covers wanting to hide from his embarrassment and from Leon.

"..." Leon stood there confused on why Sora apologized to him. It wasn't as if he was doing something weird or anything of that matter. He had the same things the young brunette had... So why? Shrugging it off he grabbed a midnight blue towel and rapped it around his waist. He then descended into his room to get changed for the day since Sora and him had plans for later on today. Wondering what to wear he grabbed his black and white stripped long sleeve shirt and his black jeans.

In Soras room, the blankets started to move and Soras head popped out to see if Leon came in to check up on him. Thankfully he didn't, so he got out of bed grabbing his thick jacket and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast for the both of them. Walking around the small island that consisted of the sink and some cabinets and drawers. Opening a cabinet that was close to the refrigerator he gabbed two bowls and set them at the table. He did the same with a pair of spoons, cereal and milk. And that right there is the only thing he is able to make without burning down the apartment. He started to fiddle with a loose thread that was hanging from the bottom of his shirt. He flinched when he heard the door to Leons room click open to show that the older man fully dressed and ready to take him out for the day.

"Uh.. um there's cereal here ready for you if you want some." Sora spoke timidly trying not to make eye contact with Leon.

"Thanks Sora." he said smiling a bit as he walked towards the brunette and the table.

"I'm sorry, its the only thing I'm able to make without, you know, burning the place down." Sora said scratching the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Ha-ha. oh its fine, if you want I can teach you how cook. It isn't hard thing to learn. So just ask me when ever you want to learn." Leon laughed sweetly to the young burnet taking a seat. Leon poured milk into the bowl filled with corn pops and began eating, Sora did the same. The silence was quite awkward since Sora keeps reverting back to the scene he witness in the bathroom. 'Hopefully it gets a tad bit less awkward when we go to the store.' Sora thought has he finished his bowl of cereal. Once they were done with their cereal they washed their dish and set them into the dishwasher. And they left locking the door behind them as they made their way down the dark cherry wood floor.

With Roxas he didn't have much luck with his own love interest. Once he made it down onto Axels floor he was thinking of just walking in but that didn't work out so well. The door was locked; he knocked for quite a while expecting the door to open. But as you have probably guessed it didn't open so it seemed Axel wasn't home at all.

"I cant believe this! Why aren't you home, Axel!" Roxas groaned as he kicked the wooden door in front of him in frustration and anger. 'He was supposed to be here. Waiting for me! Where in the hell would he go! Dammit Axel you ruined my plan completely. But don't worry I'll find you and I'll forgive you.' Roxas smirked rubbing his forehead roughly shooing his anger away. A soft click of a door opening broke his irritation snapping his eyes towards intruder. He watched as a tall dirty blond walked out his apartment yawning to witness the commotion that was going on. Roxas willed himself to calm down and not look hostile or menacing. Maybe this stranger might know where HIS Axel might be.

"Um is everything all right, Kid?" the man said looking at Roxas tiredly.

"Oh I'm so sorry I didn't mean to make so much noise. But if you don't mind me asking do you know where the person who lives here left to?" Roxas asked in a sweet venoms voice.

"Eh you mean Ax. He at work why? Do you have some kind of business with him?" the man asked again but with a hint of curiosity laced with his question. 'Ax? Who does he know Axel? Who is this guy! ' Roxas screeched feeling his eye twitch at the simple nickname this stranger called HIS Axel.

"Oh well I need to see him. I'm Roxas... His boyfriend." He smirked as he saw the eyes of the stranger widen in surprised.

"Oh. Boyfriend? I thought he just got out of a horrible break up with his fiancée. Huh well Ax sure does moves fast. I'm Demyx, His best friend. Well if you want to go see him he works at this place. Here I'll give you the address." Demyx rushed inside and grabbed a notepad and scribbled down the address of Axels work. "Here ya go." He handed Roxas the piece of paper with his next destination to stalk. Smiling Roxas thanked Demyx with the huge help he just gave him and made his way to the elevators.

Once he made his way down to the lobby floor he was set to his destination on waiting for Axel to get out of work. He felt jittery he couldn't wait for Axel to be surprised when he sees him waiting for him like a good boyfriend should. Smirking he hugged his sweater tighter to his body and walked out into the swarming bodies of Tokyo to make way towards a bus stop to take to Axels work. Roxas felt accomplished today, he finally knows where Axel works at. Now he can visit him when ever he wants and even wait for him. It was just to perfect; he could ask Demyx when lunch break starts and ends too. 'I can bring him homemade lunch! ' Roxas thought as he felt joy bubbling up wanting to explode into excitement.

As he got off the bus walked across the street into an intersection he spotted a small bakery shop. He slowed down and thought maybe he should buy a small Strawberry Daifuku for himself and Axel. Complimenting himself for thinking up such a sweet, smart thing. He walked towards the cafe smiling and happy; he was shining with excitement lighting up the whole shop. As he stopped in front the cashier he asked for a strawberry daifuku. The young lady nodded and smiled as she walked to the far left cabinet to grab the daifuku with tongs and placing them into a white paper bag with their logo on it.

"Here you go, Dear. Is this for you and your girlfriend?" The lady asked Roxas politely wanting to make small talk as she handed him the bag.

"No. Its for me and my boyfriend." Roxas grinned as he saw the lady give an awkward 'oh'. 'Thats what you get for being noisy.' he snickered to himself as he paid for the sweets. "Oh can I ask where can I find this company building?" Roxas handed her the piece of paper that had the information.

"Uh... Sure." She took it and glanced at it. She looked at him and back at the paper. 'He isn't from around here is he.' she thought as she handed him back the paper and smiled. "Its right across the street from us. Actually on the left, right over there. You can't miss it."

"What? Really. Huh who would have thought. Well can I take one of the tables by the window. I'm going to wait for my boyfriend to get out of work." Roxas notified her as he pointed to the table by the large window. She nodded and attended to the other customers. Roxas gave his thanks as he shuffled towards the small glass table. All he needed to do was sit and wait for Axel to get out of work which wasn't for long. He had been at the cafe for a good 2 hours. He was getting tired and bored, so he gave one last glance towards the glass building when he spotted a fiery red head making his way out of the building towards the parking lot. Roxas jolted up and ran out to meet him, before he escaped his deadly clutches. As Roxas made his way towards Axel, He noticed that he was talking to a rather handsome young man. Tall lavender grey hair covering his right eye; the hair style was emo-ish looking and he was also pale it seemed he shunned the sun a little to much. But the feeling that was swelling up inside Roxas was unbearable, he wanted to explode. He was dead on jealous and he wanted to kill the man that was talking to what was rightfully his in any way or matter. He quicken his pace as he was getting closer he heard Axel say to the lavender grey haired man "say hi to Demyx for me."

"Sure. Have a good day, Ax." The one-eyed man responded back as he traveled towards his own car.

"Yea you too, Zexion." Axel said back happily hoping that once he gets home he wont have to worry about the blond little devil that seemed to hunt him down where ever he seemed to be. 'God have mercy on me. Please.' Axel pleaded as he turned around to navigate towards his small compact car.

"Hi, Axel." Roxas smirked as he walked up to him and wrapped his arms around Axels waist. Axel got an ire feeling run down his spine when he felt death rap his arms around his waist. 'Oh My God. How in the HELL did he find out where I work...' Axel panicked as he tried to detach the blond tumor around his waist; he didn't know what to do. He sighed giving into annoyance and a bit of fear tinged in it.

"Hello... Roxas. How do you know where I was?" Axel asked in a cold robotic way. He didn't want the demon child to know he was afraid or annoyed cause that would mean he acknowledge him.

"What do you mean, Silly? I'll always know where your at. Isn't it obvious my love for you directed me here." Roxas said sweetly as pure sugar that would rot teeth in a seconds. He tighten his hold around Axel making sure he emphasized his LOVE for him. Axel in the other hand was getting a sick feeling in his stomach he didn't like where any of this was going. He needed to do something fast he needed to get away from the sick feeling that was over taking him. Thinking he made his last move 'invite him for ice cream' maybe talk to him a little and distract him. He can maybe trick him to walk him home and find out where Sora now lives. Perfect, Axel was a true genius but there was going to be a consequence and that would mean that Roxas is going to be around him even more; it might give him a spark of determination to literally be a part of Axels life just like Sora was and still is.

"Uh... Sure well do you want to go somewhere?" Axel asked feeling the thin arms around him loosen and leave entirely. The phrase left a disgusting taste in his mouth literally making him want to vomit.

"Really? Sure I bought strawberry Daifuku!" Roxas squealed in excitement. 'I knew he would come to see it my way. Now all I just need is for him to forget my idiot of a brother. Sora doesn't deserve him at all. I deserve him, it was meant to be like this! ' the sinister thought ran through Roxas as he wrapped his hand with Axels and marched towards the cafe he resided for two hours ago.

"This is going to be one long ass day." Axel whispered to himself as he let Roxas lead the way towards the small cafe in front of his work.

As they were entering the store the young lady waved at Roxas and motioned to the bag of sweets he left behind when he quickly ran toward Axel. As Roxas once again thanked her he lead the way towards the crystal table and set the sweets in front. He let Axel choose the one he wants before he got his and started to eat into the delicious treat. There was silence the whole time they ate even when Roxas made small talk that was because Axel would only answer with a grunt or nod. Once Roxas was done with his brainless chattering and their treat they headed off. It was a still early it was only the afternoon and Roxas didn't feel like going home not with his brother there. But Axel was intent to go home and find out where Sora lived at and there was nothing no one can do to stop him.

Sighing he scratched his head in complete annoyance; he wondered if he'll ever wake up from this nightmare. Looking around the small fountain rest stop in front of his work he noticed a overly familiar young man with chocolate colored spike for hair. Squinting more trying to get a better view of them he caught a glimpse of the taller mans face. 'Thats... Thats Leon! ' he halted his movements widening his eyes. 'So that person next to him is... Sora.' Axel thought his heart racing at the thought of seeing his little bunny again, since that accident. 'But what is he doing with Leon. He looks so calm and happy. Dammit I should have known Leon was waiting for an opportunity to steal Sora way. He must be fucking crazy if I'm going to let him take Sora away.' Axel thought bitterly his actions filled with jealousy as he stomped his way towards them leaving a confused Roxas to rush after him.

Leon and Sora made their way around the shopping district looking around and joking a little with some of the merchandise the markets had out for display. They seemed to have bought things they really didn't need like the cat ears and tail, a dog suit that resembles Amy from Okami, horror games much to Soras dislike. And finally the fish food and fish tank which was their actual mission but they seemed to have gotten distracted.

"So uh remind me again why we bought the cat ears and a tail?" Leon asked quite curious looking at Sora.

"They were on sale, plus I always wanted one some. The costume was to be nice to the girl since it was her first sale and the games, I didn't suggest the HORROR games. You bought those." Sora stated the information as they walked towards the small parking lot by a park. Wanting to put everything away it was getting heavy and he was tired of walking.

"Well the games were on sale and their classics. You should play them with me sometime." Leon added as he smiled. He was itching to get these games ever since they got renewed, plus he wanted to see just how scared Sora would get.

"Nu uh. You wont ever see me playing those kind of games ever!" Sora laughed. The young couple had seemed to have forgotten about the morning events and are now enjoying the moment they were having together. Leon chuckled to himself as he digged into his pockets to find his keys and pop open the trunk so they can dump everything into in and free their tired hands. As they finished their task of storing away their purchases; Leon was staring to get into the car until he heard Sora speak.

"Hey can we go over there?" Sora pointed out a tall mirror like building a couple of blocks away it had a beautiful fountain resting park right in front of it. The sun glimmered of the glass and onto other tall buildings surrounding it. Leon halted what he was doing and climbed out of his car to look at what had caught Soras attention; smiling he nodded closing the door behind him. As they walked away from his car he pressed the button to auto lock the doors.

As they made their way towards the small resting park they noticed that their were small businesses around that consisted of small bakery shops, jewelry stores, and some book stores. It seemed like a nice place to spend the rest of the afternoon with no worries. But they did not notice that a certain red head was making his way towards them rather angry and jealous. Leon turned to the loud stomping behind them wanting to see if it was a public commotion taking place but it seemed that it wasn't only to show that it was a man who made Soras life miserable these past few weeks. Axel made Leons inside boil up in hatred as he called Soras name out to get his attention; 'God forsake you Axel, why must you show up at this moment. When Sora is enjoying himself.' Leon sputtered as he turn his full attention towards him pushing Sora behind him to shield him from the danger that was about to undue.

"SORA!" Axel exclaimed as he stooped a couple of inches away from Leon trying to see Sora.

Sora on the other hand had frozen completely not wanting to accept that Axel was now in front of him and Leon. He wasn't ready to confront him just yet; he needed more time... more time to emotionally prepare himself to confront Axel.

"What do you want Axel?" Leon demanded looking at him angrily ready to beat him into the pavement but a streak of blond caught his eye. He averted his eyes to the side of Axel; Roxas was standing beside him with a sickening smirk marking his face. Leon became infuriated at the sight of Roxas taking pleasure on Soras misery, grinding his teeth he spoke "I suggest you take Roxas and yourself away from here."

"No, Not until I talk with Sora!" Axel shouted in irritation as he saw Sora wrap his arms around Leons waist.

"You have no business to talk with Sora. Especially if want to flaunt your lover right in front of Soras face!" Leon shouted bringing hell on Earth and he accomplishing to scare Roxas a bit.

"Let them be Axel. Cant you see that Sora doesn't love you anymore; he loves Leon. And Leon don't worry Axel never loved Sora. He-he I love him so he BELONGS to me and not to Sora. He just didn't know that so I had to make him see it even if it meant that I had to hurt Sora in the process." Roxas bragged grabbing onto Axel as he started to have a giggling fit. ' Goodness. This can't be any more easier. I kill two birds with one stone! Now lets see how Sora reacts to this.' Roxas laughed bitterly.

Leon felt Sora tremble wanting to cry but he made himself stay calm and collected; he unwrapped his arms around Leon and walked aside stopping by Leons side. He took a deep breath as he grabbed Leons hand and squeezed it; looking up to see Axels face looking right at him with deep desperation wanting to know if it was true that Sora had stopped loving him. Sora prepared to break down in a heap of tears but a statement slip out of his mouth that he wasn't planning to reveal just yet.

"Yes its true. I love Leon and not you Axel, not anymore." his voice quivered bit as he saw Axels face fell in dejection.
