~o~ Chapter eight. :) ~o~
I'm Roxas Richards and I just woke up in hell to my step brother practically humping me.
Axel had all of his heavy weight on me, his leg wrapped around min and his Peter bump touching my own. Okay, ew! I tried to push him or myself away, but his arm tightened around me. My face smashed to his perfect chest. I hate that even after sleeping on it he still smells good.
Due to my problem of morning wood, I moaned when his leg rubbed against my groin. Realizing what I was doing, I panicked and tried to pull away. Again, I didn't budge because Axel is way stronger then me. I moaned again when he moved, rolling onto his back and taking me with him to lay on his chest. I whimpered a little, trying and failing to get away yet again.
I know that this is my last resort and even if he's going to kill me once he lets go, I go for it and bite him as hard as I can.
He threw me off of him almost instantly, making me fall to my side, stiff and blushing madly. He rubbed the bite mark on his neck, cursing. "What the fuck, Roxas! Shit! What was that? Did you bite me? Ow!"
I didn't reply. I just got out of bed, hiding my now more then just morning wood erection, and pulled on my shirt. I scurried out of the room and collided with someone halfway down the hallway, sending us both to the ground. He was below me, both of us groaning.
"Sora?" I asked, rubbing my forehead where it had his his.
He was rubbing his forehead, too, saying, "Ow ow ow! What the heck, Roxas! Oh, that's gonna bruise..."
I stood up, happy that my erection had gone down from the pain enough to be hidden in my pants. I helped him up, too, and he winced at the mysterious pain in his arms. I stare at him. He is messed up! He has five circular bruises like someone had grabbed his face, a black eye, his lip is really swollen as well as his cheek which he has one giant bruise on and I noticed that his words were kind of slurred, like he bit his tongue or something.
"What happened to you?" I ask, frowning.
He smiled and said, "I fell."
Okay, I know he's lying. Normally I would just nod and go on with whatever, knowing that Sora will never tell me the truth, but I know that he's just telling me that because it is way obvious that he didn't just fall. I give him a stern look. "Tell me the truth, Sora."
Sora shrugged nonchalantly. He's always been a good actor. "I am telling the truth. Anyway, Namine's been waiting for you to wake up for hours."
I take the bate of the subject change automatically when he mentions Namine. "She has? Really?" Sora nodded and started walking down the stairs. "Um, does she ever talk about me?"
Sora smiled over his shoulder at me and said, "All the time. She likes you, man."
I blushed and stopped walking to absorb the new information. Then I caught up to him, hopping down two stairs at a time. We walked through the living room where Zack was sitting, talking with the girl who had been sitting next to me during the ride.
Sora walked into the kitchen and I followed. The kitchen is amazing. Has the same look as the rest of the house with a counter surrounding the stove and island in an 'L' shape. The counter had three chairs on the opposite side where Kairi, Namine and Riku were sitting, talking to each other. Cloud was cooking at the stove, wearing an apron. An apron.
The fridge was one of those absurdly large stainless steel Kenmore's. The cabinet's were painted brown to match the green walls, the tile making up the floor having the design of green ducks flying. The table behind the counter seats was glass with fifteen black chairs around it. I have no idea why he would need so many chairs.
Leon is leaning on one of the counters next to Cloud, the two talking quietly to each other. Cloud looks over when we walk in, smiling. "Hi, Sora. Roxas."
"Slut," Sora said as he passed them. I just nodded to them both. I didn't know that Sora didn't like Cloud. Huh. Sora kissed Namine and Kairi both on the cheeks, making the girls giggle. "Morning, girls. Having fun?"
"Oh, yeah," Kairi smiled. "Cloud's pretty funny. Too bad he's gay. Oh, well. You know what they say; all the good guys or either gay or taken. And he's both. Fooey." She playfully pouted.
Sora grumbled something and looked to me. He said, "What are you doing here, anyway? I mean, not that I don't want you here or anything. Its just weird to see you present for a big three day party."
A party. A three day party. I didn't really want to admit that I hadn't known until really early this morning. I said, "My mom made me come. She wants me and Axel to bond or something and she doesn't really trust him. What are you doing here?"
Sora smiled and said, "Leon invited me out. He probably couldn't stand to go another moment without me, right, Leon?"
Leon snorted and said, "Oh, yeah. That's totally why."
While Sora pretended to be hurt I couldn't help but have that feeling that he was lying again.
Axel walked into the kitchen. He's wearing a pair of black pants with a Nirvana t-shirt and a black and purple checkered flannel. Ugh, I hate purple. Its such an awful color. His converse are on his feet in all their dirty and scuffed up glory. I can't even count how many times my mom has tried to get him to wear another pair of shoes. My teeth were imprinted where I had bit him on his neck and the skin around it was red. I didn't know that I bit him that hard.
When he walked in, glaring at me, he said, "Roxas bit me."
Cloud snorted and Leon shook his head disapprovingly. "You were probably trying to ass rape him. I'd bite you, too."
He was trying to butt rape me, darn it! I had a right to bite the jerk! Leon just proved it! Geeze, I swear, Axel is going to be the death of me.
"I was not," Axel said indignantly. "He liked it! You should have heard the noises he was making. I mean, damn."
Sora snorted laughter next to me and Cloud dropped the plate he had been preparing. Riku and Kairi were laughing, too. Namine, Axel, Leon, Cloud and myself stayed silent in either Annoyance, embarrassment or shock. Namine chewed on her bottom lip in thought as she stared up at me with her beautiful blue eyes, her perfect face twisted in confusion.
"I'm not gay," I tell her quickly.
Sora snorted again, hitting the counter with his hand. He's laughing so hard that he isn't even laughing anymore. Cloud started to pick up the food and broken glass that was on the floor now, Leon helping him. I swear, Leon is getting too close to him. Cloud isn't paying attention to him, though. He's too busy glaring up at me. I don't want to deal with his cheating problems. Its none of my business if he likes Axel.
"Well," Cloud said once the mess was cleaned up. "Let's eat! Sora, dear, can you go and get Zack?"
Sora grumbled something under his breath that sounded a lot like 'Fuck off cunt' but he went anyway, in search of the man. He beckoned for me to follow, so I did and we both left the kitchen scene behind and walked out into the hallway. Zack was leaning on the railing of the upstairs balcony, talking to the girl who had been sitting next to me during the ride up here.
"Zack," Sora said irritably.
"Sora!" Zack countered in his happy-go-lucky tone.
Sora pursed his lips and said, "You annoy me. Go and eat."
"Well, you entertain me!" Zack shot back happily. "I love you, Sora!" As he skipped past Sora he kissed him on top of his head and continued to skip down the stairs, leaving Sora with a sour face and the girl to follow behind him with a roll of her eyes.
Its rare to see Sora this pissed off, so something had to have happened that made him like this. It obviously has something to do with all of his bruises and stuff. He goes to walk back down the stairs but I grab his wrist to stop him. He winces and I let go quickly, but he doesn't keep walking and instead turns and gives me his attention.
"Sorry," I apologize from touching his obviously hurt wrist. "What happened, Sora? Why are you so mad? What happened to your face?"He shrugs and looks down, avoiding eye contact. I sigh and say, "Liar. Now, what happened?"
Sora looked up then. He was giving me such a fierce glare that I involuntarily glared back. "Nothing."
His word was firm and I knew that he still wasn't going to say anything. So, I let it go for now and followed him back to the kitchen.
There was some work going on outside by people that Cloud had hired to set up a stage and bring in two long tables and a truck full of alcohol. He's too rich. It shouldn't even be legal, I swear. When the sun started to set later that night I was finally informed by Sora of what exactly was going to be going on tonight.
"A concert," Sora snorted as we sat on the porch swing in front of the house. I took a drink of my tea, nodding at the new information. He took a drink of his own before saying, "Bullshit. This is a fucking party- damn near a rave. Did you see all the drinks? I mean, shit. It isn't even generic, its all brands like 'Gray Goose' and 'Captain Morgans.' Are you drinking tonight, Roxas?"
I shook my head and looked to Namine who was sitting next to me, in between Sora and myself.
"What about you, Namine?" he asked her.
She shook her head, too, and looked past Sora to Kairi who was sitting on the far end, texting on her iPhone. She asked her, "Are you, Kairi?"
She looked up at her and grinned, saying, "Fuck yeah! I mean, hello? Big party! Wooh!" She jumped up and fist pumped, skipping away out into the snow. Her boots made deep tracks in it. She shouted to the man in the snow plow, saying, "Party! Wooooh!"
Riku came out from the house. He rolled his eyes and sat next to Sora. Too close to Sora. I'll kill him.
Sora snorted and looked to me, rolling his eyes. I smiled back at him and he jerked his chin to Namine, putting his arm behind her. "Sooo, what do you plan to do tonight, Nami?" She shrugged and he supplied, "How about Roxas?"
I choked on my tea and spit it out into my hand. Namine blushed and shook her head furiously, saying, "No! I um... No... Its just... Its not that I don't like you Roxas, I do, but- I mean-! Oh, crap, um... I have to go pee. Excuse me!"
When she left back into the house, Sora smirked at he with his eyebrows arched. "Hey, maybe you'll finally lose your virginity, Rox!" He slapped me hard on my back and stood up. "I have to go pee, too. Come on, Roxas."
Sora's lying, for the record. He just wants to leave. So, I get up with him and follow him into the house. We push past the forming mass of bodies in the down stairs area and walk up the stairs. Sora leads me to the room he's sharing with Leon and closes the door behind us, sighing.
"I swear to god, Riku wants my dick," he says.
I snort and sit on the bed. Sora hops over to the window and throws it open, looking down at the work men who are still setting up the stage. This is ridiculous. How can someone pay for all of this crap? I mean, geeze!
"Clouds a whore," Sora said in a sing-song voice for everyone outside to hear.
I ask him, "Why do you hate Cloud so much?"
Sora snorted and closed the window and pulled the curtains closed. "Why would I not hate Cloud?" He came and sat down next to me, looking at his nails. "I've always disliked him, but he 'initiated' me or whatever and I've hated him ever since."
I arch my eyebrows. "What did he do?"
Sora looked at me and rolled his eyes as he thought of the story with a sigh. "He pulled a David Blaine."
I furrow my brow at him. "Whats that?"
He waved his hand dismissively and said, "Oh, you don't wanna know. It's gross. Point is, he's an asshole. I wish he would get a taste of his own medicine!" A silence passed through us and I stared at Sora, waiting for the light bulb to go off over his head as he thought. Finally, he said, "Hey... We could do that! We should prank him. Hey, that's a good idea! Great job, Sora!"
I have to say, it's a pretty intriguing situation. Prank Cloud... He deserves it, and it's harmless. So, why not?
I say, "That is a good idea. But how?"
Sora hummed thoughtfully and after a moment shrugged and said, "Don't know. I'll have to think about it. Hey, what time is it?"
I look at the clock on my phone. "Ten forty eight."
Sora nodded and kicked his feet lightly. He laid back and looked up at the ceiling, examining a strand of hair and chewing on the index nail of his free hand. He said, "Their supposed to start playing music at midnight. What 're we gonna do till then?"
It was only five minutes later that we were all generating from making snow angels to throwing snow balls. Finally, a little over an hour later, there wasn't enough room to keep up with the games unless we wanted to go closer to the woods for it (Which none of us wanted to do) because of all the people who were coming. So we all went back inside and found out that the band was going to start playing soon.
Sora grabbed onto my hand and pushed rather rudely through the crowd, leaving Namine, Sora and Kairi in the kitchen where we had walked in. He pushed this guy out of the, grunting, "Move."
The guy turned around and took Sora's free hand to make him look at him. He has wolf bites, studs decorating the tasteless piercings, and longish black hair that does a light swoop. He's tall, towering over Sora and myself at six feet, and is obviously emo. His band shirt is a blob of blue swirls and bloody teddy bears with the name of a band that I've never heard of and I'm sure he's never listened to. A scene girl with way too much makeup, big teased and tangled hair that looks like a mix between a rats nest and a brain tumor, and too tight and colorful clothes is practically hanging on him. They both go to our school. I think their seniors?
"Watch where your going, man!" the boy shouted at him. Then he eyes blinked in realization of who he was talking to and he immediately let go. "Whoa, hey, Sora. Um, where's your brother? Not around, is he...?" He looked around as if Leon was going to pop out of nowhere and punch the life out of him.
Sora snarled. He's always hated how afraid people were of Leon. How they were so afraid of him that he had to work really hard to get friends and people refused to fight with him or argue back, a lot automatically backing off from the situation, like this guy, when he realize that it was Sora. The two have actually been given a nickname as the 'Horrid Leonhart Brothers.' I think all of that is what built up Sora's bipolar personality, like how he'll be happy and bubbly towards people he wants to be friends with and a dick to everyone else in hopes of a fight. It can't be healthy.
Sora got close to the guy and I noticed that the girl hid slightly behind him. Sora had to look up to look into his eyes, and after searching the sky scraper and meeting the blue sky above, he said, "Why the fuck does it matter? You scared of me, shit face?"
The guy went on defensive, but said shortly, "Whatever. Let's go, Julia."
That made Sora's snarl grow. When the two retreated into the crowd, he shouted out after him, "Don't walk away from me, dammit! Get back here!" He paused a moment, watching them disappear. "Fight me, dammit!"
When he realized that the shouting and cursing wasn't going to get the prospect of a fight back, Sora huffed and grabbed onto my hand again, pushing more aggressively through the crowd. Now people knew to get out of the way, in fear of the 'Horrid Leonhart Brothers.'
By eleven, Sora's taking shots like there's no tomorrow. I count them. One... Two... five... ten... He's more then tipsy by the time the first band starts playing.
I can hear their music from the room we're all huddled in where Kairi brought up a bottle of vodka. While their all drinking, Namine and I sit, sober, watching them curiously. I don't understand how they can drink so much. I don't understand how they can drink at all, how bad it all is for them. Its gross, too, what it does to you. Makes you throw up, act a fool...
"There's no way in hell I'd do that," Kairi giggled madly, her words slightly slurred. "I mean, in front of that big crowd? No, thanks!"
Sora laughed and Riku bumped his shoulder with hers. "Come on," he pushed. "Do it! It'll be great. Good memories!"
"If we can remember this in the morning," Sora said and they all snorted laughter. "Hey, lets go find Leon. Come on, Roxas!"
Before I can protest, Sora pulls me up and we're out of the room. We looked over the balcony and find that there's at least a hundred people in the front room alone. Sora's off balance and has to use me for support when we descend the stairs and push out into the ever growing crowd.
"Move!" Sora commanded. "Hello, VIP coming through! Oh, there's Leon! Come one!"
He's leading me again, falling into people and tripping, but never falling to the ground due to his luck. Leon is standing by the girl, a drink in hand, talking to some girl. He seems really into the conversation, too, smiling while the girl laughs and says something. We're almost to them when the girl reaches up and puts her hand on the back of Leon's head, pulling him into a kiss.
I guess it wouldn't be so bad if he just pulled away, told her that he was taken, that he didn't like her. But, no. He kisses back. Sora's in so much shock that he doesn't even have anything to say, which is a first. Leon sees us out of the corner of his eye and looks up, then breaks the kiss and tries to say something, but the music outside from the band is hooked up to speakers inside so its too loud to hear him. Sora just snarls at him and grabs my hand, leading me into the kitchen. I swear, he's been leading me all night.
The kitchen is relatively empty. Axel is sitting at the table with some girl, smiling and playing with his cup that's filled with a brown liquid. He has her arm around her, smiling and talking to her as she drew circles on his chest. The girl is just gross. She has a big nose with a infected studded piercing and she's really sloppy, probably from all the drinking. She's doing one of those awful hair bumps. Not one of the hair sprayed poofs, but those god awful brain tumor umbrella like ones that you can see the tangled and teased hair through, making it look like a dang rats nest. She's kind of chubby, too. Again, probably from all the drinking.
When we walk in, he takes his arm away from her and motions for me to come to him. Um, no thanks. I shake my head, but he keeps beckoning me closer. I don't trust him, so approach the table slowly, Sora following right behind me.
"Yeah?" I asked, unsure. He's pretty scary.
The girls glaring at me, like I was the one who ruined her chances with Axel. Sora starts laughing hysterically, pointing at her, and now she's glaring at him.
"Come sit next to me," he says with a smile.
No. No. No. The alarm goes off in my head and I can't help but feel like this is a trap. Even though I know this can't end good, I find myself sitting down. Proceed with caution!
When I sit down, the girl lets out a noise that's a mix of annoyance and disgust and gets up. She says something in her surprisingly manly voice, something about how she knew that Cloud was right, and she left the kitchen. Sora stops laughing when she's gone and starts crying hysterically at the counter next to some guy who was talking to Cloud. Cloud, who was cooking something, rolled his eyes and went back to work. The guy starts comforting Sora, so I don't feel all too bad about not getting up.
Axel's still smiling at me and I feel really uncomfortable when I sit down. When I feel his arm go over the back of my chair, around me, I stiffen and bite the inside of my cheek. He smells differently then he usually does, I notice when he leans into me. Like Old Spice mixed with with something... It seems familiar. After another moment of thought, I realize what it is. He's been smoking weed! Oh my goodness!
Axel's getting too close to me. His lips are right by my ear so he can say something, which I understand because the musics loud even in here, but it makes me uncomfortable to no end. His breath is hot against my cheek when he speaks, "Are you having fun?"
I crinkle my nose. "Not really..."
I feel his smile against my cheek now, his lips almost touching my skin. This is weird. I'm gonna puke. Its all too much to take in. "Why not?"
My mind goes back to what Sora told me. Axel likes you. Like, like likes you. It's been absurd, the whole thought. But... the way he's been acting. The way he held me in the car. How he touche me this morning when he was awake! And, now, its like he's going to kiss me. Its weird. Its bad it... its...!
Oh, god, its true!
I pull away and say, as loudly as I can in a speaking voice, "I don't do any of this stuff. Excuse me..."
I stand up and he grabs my hand. Now he's frowning up at me, his eyebrows nearly drawn together in confusion. His eyes are shining brightly from the lights just above us and I see myself reflected in them. I look just as confused.
"Where are you going?" he asks.
It takes me a moment to register what he's saying. I shake my head and say shortly, "Away." Then I turn and take Sora's hand to lead him out. He hooks his arm with the boy he was talking too and the boy follows eagerly as we walk out of the kitchen. I don't know how many more times I can brave this crowd. I have to vomit. My face is burning red. But, why? Why would I feel like this over Axel? God, I'm so confused! I need fresh air.
We walk out onto the porch, into the cold night air. I can barley hear myself think. I let go of Sora and lean over the railing for a moment, next to a girl with bleached blonde hair and a nose piercing who's smoking. My afternoon breakfast is threatening to come back up, so I take deep breaths and calm myself back down. I didn't know that Sora and the boy were kissing until I looked back up and saw them just going at it, right there in front of everybody. The guy is running his hands up Sora's hips and I get nauseous again. While I know that Sora's making a bad choice, that he's going to regret this in the morning, I can't find my voice.
"Hey, Roxas." I turn to see Kairi and Namine's smiling faces. their coming up the short steps and up onto the porch. Namine almost looks like an angel because of the way she glows. The snow and idiotic teenagers as her background make her look ten times better in her classy white sun dress that goes to her ankles and puffy white jacket. The white fir trimming the coat is as white as the few pieces of clean snow left in the yard, the same for her fir boots. "What are you doing right now?"
I stare at her for a moment before looking to Sora as if that was the answer. That makes her frown and Kairi says, "Oh. That's not fun. He does that all the time, so, don't worry. Do you want to come with us?"
I don't even think about it. It's almost automatic how I nodded and followed them back down the steps and into yet another crowd of bodies. The band up on stage blows to say the least, but everyone's cheering madly as the three guys and one girl on stage jump around with their dreadlocks and mow hawks in multiple colors and skimpy clothes with heeled boots. Their just screaming, really, and hitting and strumming things. I don't understand this generation and their love for 'Screamo' music. Its all crap to me.
On the other side of the house, past the crowd and near the forest that surrounds us, is a little pond with a white bridge going over it. That's where the two girls lead me. The moonlight bounces off the thick layer of ice that covers the pond. I stand there a moment, silent as the girls talk. Then Kairi's phone goes off and she looks at the screen, at the text message she'd received.
"OH EM GEE!" she says loudly, gasping. "Oh my geezus, I have to go. Excuse me!"
She runs off in the direction of the house, leaving me and Namine alone. Now its completely silent, neither of us knowing what to say.
I look up at her while she's looking down, then look down when she looks up at me. Then we both look up at the same time and I meet her eyes. She's so incredibly beautiful that it shouldn't even be legal. I watch her, watch the blush that slowly creeps up on her, then watch as she looks back down to the pond and fidgets slightly.
"So," I say, breaking the silence.
"So..." she mimics, looking back up. Well, this is awkward.
"Well, um-"
"I kinda wanted to tell you-!"
We both spoke at the same time and silence at the same time. I insists that she speaks because, really, I have no idea what I was going to say. She blushes more, looking down at her boots and the impressions they made in the untouched snow of the bridge.
"I just wanted to say, that, um... Its really cool to have you out of here..."
I raise my eyebrows at the words. Its cool to have me out here? Here I was, expecting a love confession, and get a 'good to see you, pal!' This sucks! Ugh! Okay, I know that at first I didn't really like her, I know that I said I was only into redheads, but I like Namine. I like her a lot.
The music in the back changes and I know that another band went up to play when a female's voice starts floating from the speakers. I look back to the crowd that's cheering louder now, probably happy the awful band before was finally done playing. This takes my mind of Namine for a moment, but when I hear her sigh and look back to see her leaning on the railing.
"I'm not good with words," she sighed again, looking up at me a moment before looking back down at the glistening ice of the pond. "I just... Kairi says that I have to tell you, so, here it is..."
I find myself leaning over the rail, too, staring at her intently as I waited for the next words to come. I saw her start to move her lips and my stomach churned. She's about to form those words, those words that I've been waiting for. I know it.
"Roxas." She takes a breathe and looks up at me, meeting my eyes with determination in her own. "I-I kind of, sort of... Like you."
I bite the inside of my cheek, hard to where I start to taste blood, and bury my face in my hands. What do I say? No ones ever said anything like this before to me. I look up at her a moment. She's waiting for me to say something. I groan lightly and cover my face again. I like her. I like her. So, why's it so hard to tell her? Why can't I form the words?
Its Axel. He's messing with my mind. He likes me, she likes me, what's going on? I look up at Namine again when she says quickly, "Um- its okay if you don't like me, because..."
I'm not really listening to her. I'm staring up at her, at her beautiful, perfect, panic stricken face as she tries to excuse herself. She talks to much, I realize, and its cute. But, I don't need it right now.
"-t doesn't matter, so-!"
I quickly silence her by pressing my lips to her own.
~o~
*Gasp* What the heck is this? This ain't yaoi! Why, its... its... its poppycock! :O
