Song: Paper Planes by M.I.A.
Reno smiled down at the boy in his arms, watching him sleep quietly with his head resting on the redhead's bare chest. When the boy started waking up, Reno decided he was glad they hadn't gone all the way, seeing the completely mortified expression on the blonde's features.
"Relax," he spoke with a goofy grin. "Just a few kisses."
"Just a few kisses?" Roxas suddenly jumped away, noticing both of them were bare-chested and noticing also a fair amount of marks on both his own and… a lot on Reno's chest. He blushed a bright red and looked around for his shirt, not knowing at all what had happened to him.
"Man… ya're just like when ya dance. All there, but at the same time… not there at all," the boy seemed to blush even brighter and finally found his discarded shirt, the shirt he was wearing at their competition, and the smell from it made him re-think of putting it on. "Ya know… Tseng said that they won't choreograph us anymore, but Rufus had agreed on them allowing us to use their studio. He gave me the access card when you left yesterday."
"Really?" Roxas brightened up almost immediately, forgetting the fact that he had cheated on Axel, and scooting closer to the redhead on the bed.
"Yea. Plus… I got a new song for ya," Reno propped himself up on his elbows, that lazy grin still on his features. "Friend o' mine sent it ta me. It's a foreign song, but tis in English."
"Then how is it foreign?"
"The DJ an' singer an' composer an' shit… all foreign."
"Same country?"
"Yea…" Reno nodded. "Wanna hear it?"
"Definitely!" Roxas smiled sweetly, seeming like a child all over again. "What's the name?"
"DJ Take Me Away. Very simple lyrics an' all, but a very good beat. Would do jus' fine with a few steps I got in ma 'ead."
"Haven't heard of it."
"Well ya will. But that will be when we go ta tha studio."
"Then let's go!' Roxas jumped off the bed, grabbing the redhead's arm and dragging him up as he started walking to the door. He only made it a few steps before he let go and rushed out to the bedroom he used as his own so he could change.
Reno laughed softly as he himself went to change, putting on clothes that would be most comfortable for a long night of practice. Finally… Roxas was his.
The left the apartment almost too quickly, rushing to get to the studio so they could work on creating a while new routine.
Axel laughed loudly sitting sprawled out onto a small couch on the upper floor of the club they had been at. After the third or so song of Demyx and Namine not disengaging, the redhead had decided to distract the girl's over-protective brother and had dragged him to meet a few friends.
Sora sat so close to him that he was practically in his lap, Axel's one hand slung behind him on the back of the couch and letting the brunette rest his head on it. He was also giggling, laughing at something that he didn't even remember by now, but laughing about it anyway, unable to stop.
The joint was passed over to him and he took a long deep breath, swatting at Axel to look at him, before he let out the smoke in small puffs, each the exact same size and finally blew the rest at the redhead.
"Nice, man," Axel giggled as he poked through one of the puffs with the joint before taking a deep drag from it and passing it to the next person.
They had their own music playing in the background and as soon as people realized the song, they started moving to the beat while sitting down. Axel was the first to get up, getting on the small table and shaking his hips, arms up in the air as he held onto both his and Sora's drink. The brunette followed him up, trying to reach for his drink, not even realizing that Axel was moving him to the beat.
"..come around 'here'..," all noticed the strong and similar hit for the next "..day…"
"I'll get one down," Axel crouched suddenly, causing the brunette to miss his drink completely, and both glasses were passed to one of the other men sitting around the table.
When he got up, his voice joined the others in a lazy drawl as they all sang along to the song. "If you come around 'here'…" he draped an arm around Sora's waist, pulling him in so the two could dance closer together. But the brunette had other thoughts about it, taking both of Axel's arms and throwing them away, leaning back to try and get his drink as he giggled away.
The man holding it passed it back, and though it was the wrong one, no one noticed. Sora took it, but just as he was to take sips, Axel straightened him up and held him to his back. Leaning his shoulders back, Axel spread his legs and kept his groin connected to Sora's lower-back as they moved. He knew the chorus was coming up as did most of the others, so he let Sora enjoy his drink as he leaned back, arm around the brunette's waist, moving from side to side lazily and his other hand reached out in a gun motion.
"All I wanna do is…" they all shot at somebody else with each of the beats, Sora too busy trying to down his drink to notice as Axel shot around him. But the second time the beats came, he noticed the quick change of hips from the redhead to the beat and joined him in, laughing as he realized the lyrics.
When it repeated, he actually leaned back into the redhead and shot at the others as well, moving his hips and leaning to the side with each hit, before the cock and he reared straight up and leaned to the other side with the 'cha-ching'. "All I wanna do is boom, boom, boom, boom, and a…" he voiced around the song, loving the way the words rolled off of his tongue.
The drink was taken by Axel who finished it off, Sora turning around to chase it and just ending up facing Axel with an adorable pout on his lips. Both his hands rested on Axel's chest and for a moment the redhead thought he looked like a kicked puppy. The thought made him giggle slightly, then more loudly before bursting out into a laugh. Sora joined him shortly after, not realizing what exactly it was that made him laugh, but loving the feel. Soon the entire room was in laughs, all falling all over each other.
"No one on the corner…" the redhead and his companion sat back down onto the couch, being handed new, and old, drinks as the two were squished between two others. They all shook their heads from side to side with the beat, their shoulders bumping against each other and the couch getting more crowded with the movement.
After a moment, Sora got up, wanting more room, but Axel pulled him right back down. The man on his side took Sora's space so the brunette ended up falling right into Axel, both knees on either side of the redhead's thighs and hands on his shoulders to steady himself.
"All I wanna do is," Axel mouthed the words and shook his shoulders in four beats to the side, before straightening up and leaning to the other side with the 'cha-ching'. On the next beats, Sora automatically followed the movement, settling more comfortably in the redhead's lap and moving to the side.
By the fourth beat, the other two on the couch had caught onto the movement and were doing it as well, the others in the room laughing along and trying to match the hits that the two dancers had set for the others. "And take your money."
There was a somewhat relaxed beat as the woman's voice started speaking instead of singing and being the idiot that Axel was, he raised his drink in the air and started swaying from side to side, his other hand on Sora's hip and watched as the brunette mirrored the movement much as he had the beats. As before, the others on the couch joined in the sway and when the singing started again, they all readied for the chorus and checked if their guns were working – giggles all around.
"All I wanna do is…" Axel shot above Sora's head with the drink in his hand, the brunette mirroring the action without even realizing it, his eyes closed as he swayed to the music. As before, the couch had started the hit from side to side with the music followed by the previous sway of the others in the room, using their drinks or joints instead of lighters. They shot at each other all around again, the redhead dropping the drink to his lips and taking a sip, looking past the rim as the brunette in his lap swayed in a similar daze as Roxas did when he was dancing.
Axel realized that that was where the brunette twin was different from his two other copies. He didn't let the music take control of him, he was the one that was always in control, and when his blue eyes uncovered to look down at Axel, the redhead realized he was under the smaller boy's control at the moment.
Namine was like Roxas, she had lost herself to both the beat and Demyx's movements almost immediately, Roxas always got lost when the music started, letting it take control of his movements. Sora… grinned down at Axel as he if could see right through him and read all of his thoughts, before putting his own drink to his lips and finishing it off.
When he realized what had plagued his thoughts for a moment, Axel sucked back the rest of his drink and held out the glass past Sora, waiting for it to be filled. "How's Kairi?" Axel asked softly as another song started and he put the drink to his lips.
"Her boyfriend got a little mad that his girlfriend was dancing with me so he dragged her away…"
"And you did nothing to stop it?"
Sora shrugged softly at the question, taking another sip of his drink and looking over his shoulder at the others. "What could I do? Guy was twice my size."
Axel grinned widely and nodded. "Could've introduced me to him… he was probably hot, no?"
"Eww…" Sora scrunched up his face, in the most adorable way that Axel has ever seen, and for a moment he wondered if Roxas could make the same expression. "No… I don't even know why the hell she was dancing with me if that was her type."
"Hmm?"
"Because I…" he held up his drink as if to make a toast, then dropped it to his chest to indicate himself, having gotten enough attention in the room "… am fucking sexy!" he winked at Axel and giggled before throwing his glass over his head once more and shaking it as if to ask for a drink.
After a moment and nobody actually filling it, he leaned back, arching over Axel's legs to look upside down at the others. He giggling expression fell when he noticed that the person with the bottle was looking at the door, and he noticed who was at the door.
Namine's expression made him giggle once more, releasing Axel's shoulder and forgetting completely that was what held him up. But the redhead was fast and he leaned down to grab his falling companion before looking where he was pointing. He noticed the completely shocked and disgusted expression on Demyx' features and wasn't smart enough to hold back a giggle.
"Namine and I are leaving…" Demyx spoke sternly, looking at the others in the room and recognizing most of them as people he had used with before. "I suggest you two do the same."
"And I suggest…" Sora once more pointed at his chest with his empty glass, still being held up by Axel "…that you two wear a condom! I don't think I can handle little Roxies running around…" the brunette giggled, but the name that had sounded froze Axel.
Both Namine and Demyx were confused as to where he got the idea that their children would look like Roxas… before they realized where their train of thought had gone and both blushed. Demyx hid his behind an angered expression and pulled Namine close so she could hide her blushing face in his chest.
"Yea, yea… we're coming," Axel said, suddenly sounding sober.
Sora once more pouted that adorable expression, but Axel was sobering up way too fast for his own amusement. They drove back in a complete silence, Demyx wanting to make sure that Namine and Sora made it back alright, while Axel was playing with the small ornament that hung from the mirror of the twin's car.
They arrived at the building where Reno lived and Axel couldn't help himself as he started up at it with a slight longing.
"You guys want to come up stairs for a drink?" Namine asked softly, struggling to keep her brother still and quiet as Demyx handed her back the car keys.
"Naah…" the blonde boy shrugged and looked as Axel was practically falling asleep on the hood of the twins' car. "Gotta get him home…"
The redhead's cell phone rang as the two blondes talked quietly while Sora found himself entertained by the flickering light further down into the underground garage.
Axel flipped it open easily and immediately swore when the voice sounded on the other end. Both Namine and Demyx faced the redhead as he seemed to have woken up completely and was pulling at his red locks.
"I'm sorry, man! I was at work!" the reply seemed to have been quite loud for the redhead pulled the phone away and glared at it for a moment.
"What is it?" Demyx threw over his shoulder once Axel had closed the phone.
"Fuck… I got a project due tomorrow and totally forgot I was suppose to meet Zexion to work on it," the redhead banged his forehead against the hood of the car a few times.
"Wasn't he at the club?"
"Naah…" Axel shook his head, but before continuing he pointed in the distance and both blondes turned. Sora was wandering down the underground garage towards the flickering light, looking at it as if it held the answers to the universe.
Demyx rolled his eyes when he saw Namine wince and gently patted her shoulder before he went to retrieve the brunette. Once Namine was alone with Axel, she felt trapped when his eyes settled on her. "Ya like 'im?" she was slightly startled and turned to redhead. Axel motioned his head as Demyx broke into a run when Sora suddenly decided to play hide and seek.
The small girl blushed visibly and tried to hide inside her brother's large jacket, but realized she had failed when Axel grinned widely.
"I want ya ta know… he… he hates touchin' women," he turned to look down to where Demyx was chasing after Sora. "He's had alotta bad experience with 'em over his entire life, so he usually stays quite far from them… only natural that he turned to guys when he realized he could…"
Namine remained quiet, her eyes focusing onto the blonde as he tackled Sora to the ground, the brunette laughing loud enough for the entire parking lot to hear.
"Yer the closest he's been ta any girl for…" the redhead's eyes widened suddenly "…as long as I've known him…" at that, the blonde turned to him and smiled softly.
"You don't need to assure me of something I know will not happen… please, don't get my hopes up so they crash down," the redhead stared at her in slight disbelief, however nodded softly.
The two remained in their quiet hold for long moments until Demyx finally walked over to them, dragging a whining Sora, whom pulled and looked like a complete brat.
"Sora!" Namine snapped suddenly, startling all three men with her. "Stop it right now!" the brunette started at her for a moment and just as he opened his mouth and what was expected to be a protest, the blonde threatened. "No chocolate for a month!"
The mouth snapped shut.
She held her hand out and Sora took it hesitantly before following her to the elevator like a scolded child. Namine looked over her shoulder and smiled at the other two, "I hope to see you guys around."
The elevator arrived and the twins were gone.
Demyx looked at Axel as the two started walking out of the garage and towards the near station. "She's nice," Demyx voiced in the silent night.
Axel hummed a reply and nodded, before turning to his companion with a grin. "You were all over her, man!"
"What?! I was not!" the blonde fumed and blushed from embarrassment and anger.
"Oh, yeah! I remember that dark-haired fellow… the sarcastic guy… the one that you thought was the hottest thing to ever walk this planet…"
"Vincent?"
"Yea! That was his name!"
"Hey! He was fucking hot. If I remember correctly, it was after I introduced you that you admitted to being bi!"
"Shush… of no importance to the point I was makin'!" Axel waved it as if shooing away a bug. "As I was sayin'… even with him… ye weren't all over him like ya were all over her tonight…" the redhead shrugged softly, having lost his spark to tease his mullet-haired friend.
"That's cuz he wouldn't let me near him with a ten-foot pole," the blonde's shoulders sagged.
"Uh huh… that's why he was the one to bail ya outta jail that one time," the blonde scoffed and waved away the subject as his friend had previously done.
"Don't matter."
"Not the point! I know he's fuckin' sex-on-legs, but I was talkin' about the cherub back there…" Axel once more tried to force his point onto his friend.
"Cherub?"
"Yea… baby angels? Can't get more innocent and pure than that…"
"Axel… that's insulting."
"NOT THE POINT!" The redhead screamed in the middle of the street, not taking any notice that his call seemed to echo into the early morning. "Ya like the girl or not?"
Demyx was quiet for a long while and after a moment, Axel threw up his hands in defeat and scoffed something under his breath. The two were on the subway as before, sitting across from each other in the empty cart.
"We should have a party in here," Axel spoke out of nowhere, looking up and down the length of the cart, then at the poles set at intervals down the length of it. "Replace these with black lights, add some Christmas lights and shit…"
"I like her…"
"Yea… of course ya like ma idea… it's…" Axel suddenly paused, realizing after a moment that Demyx had said her not that or it or anything to signify that he had even heard what Axel had proposed.
A long moment of silence passed between them. "What?" Demyx looked up finally, chewing away at his bottom lip. "Not gonna patronize me and make fun of me?"
"Naah," Axel stretched back and laced his fingers behind his head, grinning to himself. "Was just wonderin', if it really took ya that long to figure it out."
Axel grunted in discomfort when something hard hit him in the chest and he looked down to see the other's cell phone. "Yo, man!"
"Fuck, you sound like Reno," Demyx rolled his eyes, but the sudden quiet that took over the cart caused him to regret his words.
Once they got off the subway and back to the apartment, the only thing that Axel said was that he was going to take a shower followed by a quick "g'night" and he was out like a light.
Demyx stood in the kitchen, looking down at his cell phone settled beside Axel's own. Axel had Roxas' number and Namine was definitely back by now. After a moment of contemplating he picked up the phone and let it ring a few times.
The one who picked up wasn't Roxas, as expected, it was actually Namine, which pleasantly surprised Demyx.
"Hey, Ax," the girl seemed somewhat preoccupied, not even having heard Demyx speak yet. "Sorry but Roxy's gone… he forgot his cell phone."
"He's gone?"
"Demyx?"
"Yea…" the blonde blushed slightly. "Sorry… actually was calling to check on you but… where's Roxas?"
"He went to the studio with Reno… new dance or something…" the blonde girl seemed to shrug. "So… why'd ya wanna talk with me?"
"The studio with Reno?" he asked to make sure he got it right. It was 3 in the morning after all.
"Damn brat," he shook his head. "How's yer brother? Erm… other one… cuz I was just… ya know… I was just worried cuz… Axel and those guys… they never use straight, they always mix and…"
"He's throwing up all over the bathroom… I think he actually fell asleep on the tiles." The girl sounded tired and irritated at the same time.
"Shit! Ya want me to come over?"
"It's okay… Roxas and Reno should be back soon…" now her voice was hopeful.
"I'll be there in twenty minutes," Demyx was already gathering his stuff back in his pockets as he pressed Axel's phone to his cheek.
"Thanks," the soft exhale relaxed the mulletted boy and nodded before replying just as softly that he'll be there soon.
When Demyx left, Axel rose from his bed and walked to the kitchen to find his cell phone sitting there all alone. He glanced at the phone, having heard that Roxas was with Reno at some studio… probably dancing. He felt a tinge of irritation mixed with jealousy coarse through him, but ignored it as he flipped his phone open and looked through his contacts for somebody that could help him out.
Once again sorry for the wait on the previous chapter
and this one is just posted up cuz I had started it. I finished it tonight in somewhat of a hurry, so sorry for all the mistakes in it.
Also… next chapter may be delayed by quite a bit again, just a fair warning, but since my Uni may be going on strike this week, I will probably have some free time to write some of it. Just saying it wont be top priority since I do have an original fiction that I'm hoping to actually publish and a game I'm working on…
so… other than dreaming of unreal fantasies… I may find some more songs to inspire me to write… but I do have a basic storyline done for this story so… once I ish inspired, ill know what to write.
