Just Another Spitty Reed? Part Numero Dos

Sequence: Axel

As the CD came to an end, I debated about wether I had the energy to move in order to put a new CD in. After about three minutes, I decided it was too quiet and moved to the stereo. Opening my CD case with my favorite CD's in it, I put The Used back in its little plastic slot and flipped through the pages. Pulling a Red Jumpsuit Apparatus CD out, I popped it in and flipped through the songs until it came to one of my favorites, False Pretense.

Closing my eyes and leaning my forehead against the cool windowpane, I didn't hear the door open behind me. Standing up straight, I turned back to the bed and was startled so bad, I fell over backwards. Sitting up from the floor, I eyed the blonde sitting on our bed, watching me with dull blue eyes. I was so used to seeing those beautiful eyes sparkling, I almost didn't recognize him.

He looked like hell. His clothes were wrinkled and ruffled, and his hair was in a disarray. Tear marks were still evident on his cheeks and his eyes were dull and apathetic. He just sat on the edge of the bed, his hands folded limply in his lap. Blinking, he looked at me and sighed.

With the sigh, his facade seemed to crumble and something akin to anguish coated his features. Standing, I went to stand before Roxas. The small teen leaned forward until his face was buried in my stomach and his arms came around me. I ran my fingers through his hair soothingly as he nestled into my shirt. Not a sound escaped him as he held me tighter, like and anchor.

We stayed like that for a while, never moving, never speaking, just together. Music filtered lightly through the air in the background. When Roxas finally lifted his head to look me in the eye, I gave him what I hoped was an encouraging smile.

Not even bothering to try to smile back, the blonde blinked his eyes slowly and took a deep breath.

"So I suppose you want to know what im so worked up about a stupid reed. Its just a reed you know. Just a stupid, stupid reed." I shook my head at him.

"No its not. Its not stupid to me at all if its not to you. If you think its special and have a reason to get worked up over it breaking, even if you don't have a reason, I still don't care. Its important you and that makes it important to me. Im sorry, I must have said the wrong thing earlier. Wanna explain it all to me?"

"Sure." nodding, I encouraged him to go on.

"Well, and I know this is silly so please don't laugh, but it was from someone special. You know how I came here a bit after Christmas?" I nodded. "Well me mom and Sora don't have a lot of money. We each had our own job and all contributed just to make ends meet. We all put in our share for groceries every week, the light and electric bill, even the water and house payments. But it was alright, we didn't mind. Well for Christmas, we each got each other only one thing, it was our pact. Well Sora got mom a picture frame and me new saxophone cleaner. I got Sora a new apron, cause he loves to bake, and I got mom some really nice smelling candles. Mom got Sora a really nice cookbook and got me a set of really expensive reeds. I loved them." smiling a bit at the memory, I nudged him in the shoulder to continue.

"Well there were only two reeds in the pack cause they were so expensive. I had one, but it broke in band. I made sure to take really good care of the other so it would last. And now its broken and I have nothing left to remind me of mom." a tear trickled down his face. "I don't have any pictures, no letters, not phone calls, no presents.

They wouldn't let me bring more than was necessary here in the first place. So now I have nothing. All my letters get sent back, all my phone calls go unanswered. I have no one, no one at all. Im alone. What am I gonna do after I get out of here? Where will I go? I have no other family. Oh god." the small trembling blonde buried his face in my chest and sobbed quietly.

Taking a deep breath, I rubbed his back until his sobs quieted. Pulling his head back, I made him look me in the eye.

"You have us. You have me and Demyx. We'll always be here and im sure mom will love you. We all get out after next year and when we do, we'll all move in with mom until we can get a place of our own. Demyx wants to go to college but we don't have to. We can get a little cottage in the woods, just for us. No one can bother us or anything. You can even have Demyx and Zexion over for tea of you want." that made him laugh a little. Smiling down, I continued.

"If your mother and brother abandoned you, they obviously don't love you. Don't waste your time on someone who isnt willing to waste their time on you. (AN: that's my motto XP ) Just take a deep breath. Don't think of all the things your missing, but focus on the things you have. You have me, Demyx, Zexion, and mom comes this weekend and you can meet her than. You'll lover her and I know she'll love you. Just wait and see. Feel any better."

Roxas nodded solemnly. Sniffling, he wiped away the last tear and took a deep, rattling breath. Letting it out again, he blinked a few times and got himself under control. Finally looking at me, he smiled a weak, tired smile.

"I would love to meet that from which you've sprung." I laughed.

"Alright than. She's gonna be here Saturday, and today is Thursday, which mean she's gonna be here in about a day and a half." grinning a cocky little half smile, I dropped a kiss on the small blondes nose. He laughed, obviously feeling better.

Finally sitting down on the bed next to him, I pulled him into my arms and cuddled him close. He just went limp, allowing me to coddle him. Laughing, he pulled out of my arms and stood up. Going to the CD player, he opened my CD case and started flipping through the CD's. Pulling one out, he flipped it upside down so I couldn't see. Taking out The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, he flipped the new CD in and put the other back. Flipping through the songs until he found what he was looking for, Roxas hit play and plopped back down on the bed.

Waiting silently, I listened for the beginning of the song. Laughing, I sang along as Boat by Random Encounter came on. Rolling over, I hugged Roxas to my chest and sang in a really bad falsetto in his ear.

"Gah!!! Get away from meeeee! Your awful and your killing my ear drums! Oh my poor musicians ears! (AN: I say that a lot during American Idol XP)" laughing, I rolled over until I was sitting on his hips, his hands pinned up over his head, singing in his ear like an idiot.

Laughing, he pretended to pass out, not succeeding well due to the fact that he was still laughing uncontrollably at my horrible singing. As the song finally came to an end, another random song came on. Demyx had made me this mix CD forever ago so who knew what was on it. Listening intently, I waited to see if I knew the words. Snorting, I started to sing along to the Irish Pub Song by Flogging Molly, barely containing my laughter at the look on Roxas' face.

Stopping suddenly in the middle of my 'solo', I bent down until I was nose-to-nose with the squirming blonde. It made him quiet immediately. Kissing him lightly on the lips, I inhaled his scent. Closing my eyes, I deepened the kiss, meeting no resistance whatsoever.

Roxas kissed back, hard and soft at the same time.

"Awww! Look Zexy, their so kee-ute!" I groaned as I heard Demyx in the background.

Roxas' face was almost as hot as my hands as he looked over my shoulder and realized who was speaking.

"Aww! And look Zexy, now he's BLUSHING!" Demyx cooed.

"Demyx, get out!" I wined.

"Come on Demyx, lets leave them alone. I want to...show you something. Back in our room you know." Roxas jumped as that had only ever been the second time he'd heard Zexion speak. He was a man of few words.

Smiling coyly, Demyx linked arms with Zexion and skipped out of the room.

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" he hollered over his shoulder. Groaning, I flopped down on top of Roxas, getting a grunt in return.

Roxas began to laugh, rolling me off him. Standing, he went to his dresser and pulled out some lounge pants and a t-shirt and stuff. Grabbing his bag, he opened the door, hollering over his shoulder something about being right back.

Going to my dresser, I pulled out some pajamas and changed. Stepping into black silky night pants and pulling a Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt over my head, I flopped back down on the bed and laced my fingers under my head. The next song on the CD surprised me, it was The Used. I sang the first few words.

"So deep, that it didnt even bleed and catch me. Off guard, red handed now im far from lonely..." trailing off, I though about the blonde I happened to share a bed with.

Standing up, I pulled the covers back and crawled into the warmth of the electric blanket I sneaked in. I though to the days ahead, the visit with mom in particular. I was sure she would love Roxas and I knew he would love her. I really wanted to talk future on Saturday.

Im sure mom would let me and Demyx back and Im pretty sure she'll accept Roxas as well. But what about Roxas' family? Maybe I should try to call them, say im a friend. Encourage them to visit or at least talk to the kid. Maybe mom would do it. I'll have to ask her.

Roxas re-entered at that moment, throwing his dirty clothes into the basket and his bag on the dresser. Crawling under the covers, he snuggled into my side and wrapped my arm around his shoulders. Taking my other arm, he took my hand in his and examined it. Going to peel off the glove, I watched his face. He pulled each finger tip off a bit until he had done all five fingers. Taking all the tips in his hand, he tugged until the whole thing came off. Setting it aside, he touched my palm cautiously with the tip of his index finger. Finding it only mildly warm, he laced his fingers through mine and I closed mine over his.

Smiling up at me, the small blonde looked happy. Unlacing his fingers from mine, he brought my hand close to his face and began to examine it. Sitting up, he closed my hand between his.

"Make fire, please."

"You kinda have to let go first. I don't want to burn you. What do you want me to do?"

"Uhm...light your thumb." snapping my fingers, I held my thumb up for his inspection.

A small flame was poised on the tip of my thumb, not seeming to have any effect on my skin whatsoever. Licking his finger, Roxas reached over and tried to put the small flame out. When it didnt go out, he tried again. All the time I tried to contain my laughter.

"Its not as easy as that Roxy. My flame dosn't just 'go out' unless I want it to, or your use large quantities of water for a long time." Smiling, Roxas didnt seem put out at all and just leaned a bit closer.

"Wanna loose an eyebrow?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

Jerking back, he looked shock for a moment before he figured out I was joking. Laughing, he looked up at me, his eyes twinkling. His gaze going back to my thumb, he gasped as the flame went from orange to blue, to green, to purple. Keeping it a purple, Roxas grabbed my hand and stared, mesmerized.

"Like fire do ya?" laughing, I pulled my hand back a little before he burned himself. Extinguishing the flame, I took Roxas' shoulders in my hands and pulled him down so his head was laying on my chest. Breathing deeply, I smiled, content. It took awhile, but Roxas finally feel asleep and as soon as he did, I slept too. Happy, content, calm. For now.
