Roxas awoke to his phone ringing in his pocket, he didn't know when he fell asleep but it was well needed rest. He took out his phone and read the screen, his mouth opened slightly in surprise, he answered it nonetheless.

"Hello?" Roxas asked – or more like made sure his mind wasn't playing games with him.

"Hello Hun, how are you?" Sure enough, that voice made everything clear.

"I'm good Mom, how are you?" Roxas felt like he hadn't seen her in centuries even if it had only been a few days, he looked over at the clock and it read a little past midnight.

"I'm fine, just wanted to make sure you were all taken care of. I miss you."

"I miss you too mom and I'm fine… actually, there is one thing I need if you don't mind."

"Whatever you want son, just name it." Roxas told her what he wanted and she agreed to it instantaneously.

"Why are you calling so late anyway?"

"Well your father was out, so I figured it would be a good time to check on you." An awkward silence fell between them, that one word made it uncomfortable.

"He's still mad, isn't he?" Roxas asked, wanting the discomfort to go away.

"I'm trying my hardest to talk to him, but he won't listen to me." Her voice was softer, Roxas could see the tears fall down her cheeks the same way they did that night he left.

"It's fine Mom, if he doesn't want me around, it's fine. I'll visit you one day when he's out of town or something. How does that sound?" Rin sniffed and took a moment to answer.

"I would love that." He could hear her smile and it made him feel better.

"I gotta go mom, call me again sometime, okay?" He whispered, not wanting to let her go but knowing it had to end eventually, just like everything else that was worthwhile in life.

"I will," another pause, "I love you Roxas." Roxas felt his own tears fighting their way to his eyes.

"I love you too Mom." He hung up before his heart could shatter anymore than it already did; he wanted so badly to go home. Never had he wanted that, he usually wasted his days wishing they would leave him alone and that he could leave, now he felt the complete opposite. It was a weird thought, the feeling of wanting to leave a place so bad and leave the people who held you captive, then it actually happens and you want it all back.

"Roxas? Are you okay?" Roxas turned to Axel who stood at their bedroom door; he looked as if he just got back from work; dead tired.

"I'm fine, really." Roxas's voice lied, it was so evident he wasn't as his statement suggested. Axel put his guitar down in its usual corner and sat next to the blonde on the bed, he pulled him to his chest and held him there; Roxas cried. He didn't know what took over him but he just let it all out, getting his tears all over Axel's shirt but he didn't seem to mind. Roxas seemed to cry forever and through it all, Axel never said a word, just drove his hand through his hair over and over again. Though honestly, that was all Roxas needed: comfort.

Roxas woke up and he wasn't wearing his clothes from yesterday, at least not his shirt. He looked over to his side to see Axel was already gone; he sighed and looked down at his folded hands. There was so much I wanted to tell you. Roxas sat in silence for awhile before getting up, putting on a white undershirt, and going to the living room. He turned the corner and saw Seifer in the kitchen and Sora still sleeping on the couch.

"What are you up to?" Roxas asked, sitting at the bar outside the kitchen. Seifer turned to him and narrowed his eyes.

"Yesterday, forget it. Forget everything."

"Seifer, that's impossible." Seifer raised the spatula that was in his hand.

"What if I beat the memory out of you?" Roxas shifted in his seat, knowing the older was kidding but he could sense a hint of truth in it.

"Even that wouldn't work; do you know when Axel gets back today?" Seifer shook his head and went back to his breakfast, tossing a pancake in the air and letting it flip back into the pan.

"We're starting today." Roxas gave a mystified look.

"Starting?"

"Our plans to make that cute brunette over there fall head over heels in love with me."

"Already? I mean, I don't think it's time yet. We just found out he's cutting himself and he's moving in with us and – "

"Whoa what? He's moving in with us?" Roxas forgot he hadn't told anyone of their plans yet.

"Yeah, that's why we needed that ride yesterday to get his stuff." Seifer turned the stove off when he finished cooking his breakfast; he got an extra plate and spared some bacon and a pancake for Roxas.

"Well, we won't have the car until this weekend."

"I beg to differ." Roxas stated with a smirk on his face as he cut his pancake in half.

"What do you mean, prince?" Roxas glared for a moment before finishing his breakfast and leading Seifer outside. It's almost time anyway. They walked outside to the parking lot and stood there, Seifer grew impatient fast. "What am I waiting for?"

"In a minute," Roxas heard an engine run closer to them, "and now." A black car sped around the corner and drove up to them, the driver got out and handed Roxas the keys before a second car came and picked him up, they drove off without a word. Seifer blinked a couple of times and Roxas smirked at the car.

"And this is?" Seifer asked, walking around the car and taking in its beauty and detail.

"A spare car, I asked my mom for it, it's for Axel when he get's back so you can use your car more often." Seifer kept admiring the car.

"Nice gift."

"I hope Axel thinks the same." Seifer parked the car for Roxas and they both headed back upstairs to see Sora up and about.

"Good Morning." He groaned, clearly not fully awake or in a good mood.

"Morning beautiful." Seifer said, walking up to Sora and kissing his hand. Sora quickly snatched his hand back before heading for the bathroom. "No blood on the carpet!" Roxas slapped Seifer's arm for that one.

"Don't say that!"

"I already told you, it's for his own good. He needs to be strong, so I need to toughen him up." Roxas frowned; he still didn't like the idea.

"I guess that makes sense, just don't push him too far Seifer." A flash of something went through Seifer's eyes.

"That's the last thing I would do." Seifer said, retreating to his room and the moment he closed his door, the one to the bathroom opened.

"I'm clean." Sora looked around. "Where's Seifer?" Roxas pointed to his bedroom door and Sora understood. "Roxas, can I tell you something?" Sora headed for the couch and Roxas followed him, sitting next to him.

"What's up?"

"I had a dream last night, it was so life like. Though, it wasn't from my point of view. It was weird; I was kissing some stranger's body feeling like it was something I absolutely had to do, they had scars all over and I kissed all of them. I felt like it would…help them or something. It really freaked me out."

"Do you think you know whose point of view it was or who the boy was?" Sora shook his head.

"All I know is their cuts looked like mine." Roxas looked at Seifer's bedroom door and then turned to Sora.

"He's not a bad guy, you know." Sora raised an eyebrow.

"So people usually enjoy when he talks about things that they don't want to hear?"

"Well, no, but he really cares for you Sora. I know it doesn't seem like it, like at all, but he truly wants to help you. You just gotta give him a chance."

"And if I don't?"

"He'll keep treating you this way or something worse." Just as he spoke those words, Seifer's door burst open and he came into the living room with a big grin plastered on his face.

"I just found the answer!" He shouted in a bulky tone, Sora and Roxas exchanged a look at each other both completely confused.

"To what?" Roxas asked and instead of answering him, Seifer walked over to Sora and got on one knee in front of him. He pulled the younger's hand towards his lips and kissed it like he had earlier and gripped tighter when Sora tried to pull away again.

"Will you allow me to court you?" Seifer asked a smirk on his face as he stared into bright blue, befuddled eyes.

"Court me? Like annoy the crap out of me until I agree to date you? Don't you do that already?"

"Well yeah, but it's more official this way. The internet never lies." Roxas rolled his eyes at the false statement and Sora looked to him for advance and all Roxas could do was shrug.

"I don't know, I'm not ready for a relationship yet. I'm not even over…." Sora closed his eyes and took in a breath, when he opened his eyes again they were teary.

"Sora, you can just ignore Seifer, just tell him no."

"Didn't you just tell me to give him a chance?" Roxas wanted to slap himself for forgetting advice he had given no longer than five minutes ago.

"Well, I did say that didn't I? Then… I'm just gonna go." Roxas excused himself from the room to leave Sora with a choice he didn't have.

"Even if I say no, you'll do it anyway… won't you?" Seifer grinned, he didn't answer just grinned and Sora sighed. "Fine, court away, but I make no promises to accept anything."

"As long as I have a yes, that's all I need." Seifer stole a kiss from the brunette and left the room, Sora sat on the couch, his mind didn't know what to focus on as he used his long sleeve to wipe furiously at his lips and erase Seifer's kiss. If anything Sora knew he would give in eventually, but he knew there would be moment he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about Riku. Sora didn't know how long it would take him to stop loving Riku, but he knew with Seifer around it might actually happen quicker than he would like it to. He touched his flaming lips softly and sat staring into space.

Roxas lay in bed with his phone open; he was checking his last calls where his mother's name was. He sighed and closed the phone, turning on his side to look out the window; he sighed again and checked the time on his phone. A little after midnight. The day was long, most of it consisted of Seifer following Sora everywhere and getting rejected repetitively as they took the car Roxas' mother got them and got Sora's stuff. Sora's parents didn't even seem to care that he was moving out, they didn't ask questions or anything. They made Roxas hate them instantly as they just sat watching television.

"Roxas, you're doing it again." Roxas hastily sat up and looked over at Axel coming into the room, he wanted to smile but he couldn't. "You're sitting in the dark with that sad expression again."

"Axel, please don't leave me again." Roxas blurted out, jumping from the bed and running into his arms. "I thought I could wait for the weekend, but I miss you Axel."

"Roxas, let's sit. I want to speak to you." Roxas nodded and sat down as Axel took off his black jacket and set his guitar down in the corner, he joined Roxas on the bed.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Roxas asked.

"Roxas, tell me more about your childhood." Roxas raised one eyebrow slightly and his mouth opened slightly in confusion.

"My Childhood?"

"Yes, you surely had one and I want to know more about it. I was just thinking about it during work."

"Well, I guess I don't mind sharing… it's not like I have anything to hide." Roxas looked at Axel for a moment, scanning his face for a sign of anything. "But why so sudden?"

"I was just curious." Roxas was still searching his face but when he found nothing he decided to just tell Axel what he wanted to know.

"Fine, fine but I won't be going into great detail or anything." Axel nodded, completely understanding. "Well, I led a pretty normal life. You know, I went to school and stuff. Always wanted to be with my parents, the only difference was I had servants helping do everything. The more I grew up, the more I learned to depend on them to the point of me hating it. I tried to become more independent after that and I did."

"What about your teenage days? Those are what I really want to know about, they're almost up you know." Roxas rolled his eyes.

"Thanks for making me feel old and I already told you what happened with my cousin, that didn't happen long before you came to work for us." Axel raised an eyebrow.

"Really?" Roxas nodded his head. "And you're still uncomfortable with sex?" Axel didn't miss the twitch at just the word, he already knew the answer.

"I – I'd be willing to try, but I don't make any promises." Axel didn't expect that answer, but he didn't think to try his luck until pair of lips was on his. He pushed Roxas away softly.

"The reason I really asked about your childhood was to bring this up, I wanted to ask you one more time. My need for you grows more, Roxas, when I don't see you. I miss you and think about you all day till I drive myself mad." Axel was staring into his lover's eyes; they stared back into his with slight confusion and a hint of something else. "Roxas, I want you." The confusion immediately faded from his eyes and he looked away.

"Axel, I…."

"I won't force you, you know that, but if you're willing to try. I just can't hold back anymore." Roxas felt all the pressure of this suddenness falling onto his shoulders, his mind was thinking yes and no, making him more confused than he already was.

"I c-can try." Axel didn't need to hear another word before pressing his lips against the small blonde's and laying his back.

Oh... well, I was at the library and decided to post this whilst I could. :D Monty Python and Harry Potter all weekend. AAAAAAAAAH, TOM FELTON!

Not sure how I did on this one... but the next chapter shall be... intriguing.
