End of Chapter Ten: Premonitions:

"So, why don't we go home and discuss this with the others." Sephiroth said pressingly, his hand reaching for Xemnas, but stopped himself, realizing that it wasn't his place to touch Xemnas intimately, and attentively grabbed his wrist instead. Xemnas blushed at the small contact, but felt compelled to take it further.

"I won't consider Radiant Garden my home…but….alright…I'll go with you." Xemnas said as he made Sephiroth release his wrist so that he could squeeze his hand reassuringly. Sephiroth turned red at the touch, but nodded anyway, secretly disappointed when Xemnas let go of his hand. Although their relationship seemed to be going nowhere, Sephiroth couldn't help but wonder what the times ahead of them would bring.


Chapter Eleven: Drunken Nights and Confessions

"So…why are we doing this again?" Sora asked uncertainly as he eyed the multiple bottles of alcohol warily.

"Cause sometimes ya just need a drink to make ya feel better." Cid said as he continued to stack bottles of beer, liquor, and whisky on the kitchen shelf.

"I'm not so sure about this…" Aerith said as she leered at the bottles.

"Calm down Aerith. Everybody needs a release from the real world every once in a while." Cid said.

"But what if those monsters decide to come back when you're all in a drunken stupor?!" Aerith asked sternly, unimpressed with the boy's lack of caution.

"They won't come back. I've already said it many times. They want me to come to them." A deep male voice stated. Sora, Cid, and Aerith turned to see Xemnas standing in the doorway.

"You mean they want us to come to them." Another voice said. After the declaration was made, Axel walked into the room. His tell-tale smirk plastered on his face. Xemnas, under normal circumstances, would have come up with some sort of snappy retort. But, because of the fact that he had quite a bit on his mind, only huffed and stormed off into another room.

"I think he's finally starting to like me." Axel sniggered.

"I don't see how that could be at all possible." Zexion said sarcastically as he walked into the room.

"Aww, that's not very nice Zexy!" Axel whined as he tried to use Demyx's puppy dog eyes, which was a lost cause with Axel's facial features.

"That only works when Demyx does it." Zexion said as he smiled gently towards the room that Demyx was resting in. "And you're not allowed to call me Zexy!"

"Are ya gonna keep yappin', or are ya gonna drink?" Cid asked as he tossed Axel a bottle of beer. Axel looked at the bottle and grinned.

"I could get used to this." Axel said as he opened the beer and took a swig.


A few hours had passed and more people had joined the little drinking party.

Roxas had refused to join in, but had somehow managed to fall asleep on the couch, Cid and Luxord were singing something terribly off key, though it was near impossible to decipher which song it was. Cloud was babysitting Leon to make sure that he didn't hurt himself. (Leon wasn't much of a heavy drinker.) Marluxia was giggling on Saix's arm while his bluenette lover twitched as he observed the drunken idiots around him. Aerith was basically hiding in the next room, although she kept an eye on everyone at the same time, just in case someone tried something stupid. Tifa sat bemused as she watched Yuffie play the matador while Axel's pants acted as the cape. Axel was oh so fortunate enough to be playing the bull. He was on all fours, charging at the pants, while Yuffie successfully pulled them away right before Axel made any impact.

Zexion sat at the kitchen table sipping tea. He rejected to participating in the affairs of drinking. As he sipped his hot tea and read yet another ridiculously thick novel, he heard a light shuffling noise behind him, like someone was trying to sneak by unnoticed….

"Demyx, get back to your room before you re-open your wounds again." Zexion said calmly without even bothering to turn around. Demyx had managed to be careless (no surprise) during their previous battle and had re-opened his wounds. Zexion had had to spend quite a bit of time re-dressing the wound, which had been quite the hassle for Zexion and even more (painful) for Demyx.

"But Zexy!" Demyx whined as his voice nearly became an octave higher. "I won't drink that much!" Demyx had been bugging Zexion all day to allow him to join in on the "fun", but Zexion refused. He knew that Demyx would only hurt himself even more if he were in a drunken stupor.

"No Demy." Zexion stated simply.

"But-

"No."

"But just one?"

"No."

"Just half of one?"

"No."

"Maybe just a-

"I said no Demyx! Now get back to that room and rest before I make you sleep on the couch tonight!" Zexion said sternly as he turned to Demyx and pointed a finger towards their room. Demyx whimpered and turned big, teary blue-green eyes to Zexion in a final, desperate attempt.

"Go." Zexion said as he pointed his finger again for emphasis. Demyx crawled back to his room whimpering, resembling a faux-hawked puppy with its tail between its legs.

"Such a pest sometimes…" Zexion sighed as he sat down and took a sip of his tea. What Zexion hadn't noticed was that a certain lanky red head had slipped a little surprise into his drink while he had been paying attention to Demyx. The worst part was, Zexion was not, on any terms, a heavy drinker.


An hour or so later, Zexion was a giggling mess splayed out on the kitchen table. His face was red from the alcohol as he sat muttering incoherent nothings under his breath and hiccupped every couple of seconds.

"How much alcohol did you spike that tea with?" Cloud asked as he watched the pitiful looking Zexion.

"Not that much." Axel said as he feigned innocence. Cloud rolled his eyes at the gesture. "Zexion just doesn't have a high tolerance to alcohol." Axel finished resolutely.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what happened." Cloud said as he continued to sip at his glass of wine. The two were silent for a moment before Axel spoke again.

"You know what I've been thinking about lately?" Axel said as he lightly rotated his drink in his hand.

"Hmm?"

"If Xemnas didn't lose his virginity to Zack…then he probably didn't lose it at all…" Axel said. "That should be interesting for Sephiroth. I'm sure he's done a lot of people. With looks like his…" Axel trailed off.

"Yeah…sure…" Cloud said. The statement indicated to Axel that the blonde was trying to hide something.

"Okay, what do you know about his sex life?" Axel asked in amusement as he raised an eyebrow at Cloud.

"That he doesn't have one…" Cloud muttered.

"Wait, you're telling me that a guy as hot as Sephiroth has never gotten laid before!?" Axel said rather loudly as he stared at Cloud in disbelief. Cloud stood up and practically ran to the other side of the table and roughly covered the red head's mouth.

"Shh! If he heard you say that he'd know that I told you! Do you know what would happen to me?! He'd turn me into a Cloud kabob Axel! A Cloud kabob!" Cloud muttered in Axel's ear nervously as he looked around the room in a paranoid fashion to check for any others that might be lurking around the corner. When he was sure that no one else was around, except for a drunk Zexion, Cloud let out a breath that he didn't even realize he had been holding and sat back down next to Axel.

"So Seph's still a virgin huh? I'm surprised. Pretty much anyone would love to knock him up." Axel said with a slight smirk.

"He knows that Axel, but that's not the point. He doesn't want any one night stands. He wants his first time to be with someone that he's really in love with and for that person to love him in return." Cloud said.

"A good moral to have." Axel said with a bitterness that surprised Cloud to an extent. "Wish it could have been that way for me and Roxy."

"You mean you weren't-

Axel snorted lightly before replying. "Of course not. He was still completely innocent when I found him. But me on the other hand…I had been used and disposed of so many times that it wasn't even laughable anymore. But then I met Roxas and all of that changed in a heartbeat. Ironic, isn't it? Considering that we didn't have hearts back then." Axel said as he laughed to himself quietly. "I never used to believe people when they said that sex was more enjoyable when you were actually 'making love' to someone that you cared about. I used to think that was bullshit until I met Roxas. When we had our first time…it was so different than anything else I had experienced. It was right then that I knew I was going to have to be careful with Roxas. I loved him and I didn't want to screw things up with him. I guess you could say that Roxas changed me for the better."

"I understand what you mean." Cloud said quietly and smiled to himself as he thought about Leon. Who, now that he thought about it, he hadn't seen in a while…

"Hey Axel?" Cloud said before Axel could leave the room.

"Yeah?"

"Promise me that you won't get so drunk that you let Seph's little secret slip."

"Hey, I'm not that bad."

"…You were acting like a bull for Yuffie about an hour ago…"

"That was simply because it was amusing. And everybody else was acting stupid so I didn't think anyone would mind much."

"If everyone decided to jump off of a bridge would you do it?"

"If it was fun and I knew I wasn't going to get seriously injured, then why not?"

"…Wow…"

"Hehe, my logic is pretty intense, isn't it?"

"Oh yes, I can see why Roxas thinks you're a keeper." Cloud said sarcastically as he stood up.

"Well that wasn't very nice." Axel said with a fake pout. "Where are you going?" The pyro asked as Cloud headed for the next room.

"Leon hunting. You know what that man's like when he's drunk. Better go find him before he hurts himself or someone else….or something else. Mainly a moogle and its defenseless pom-pom." Cloud said as he left the room.

Axel chuckled to himself when he heard a hiccup to his left. He had completely forgotten that Zexion was still there. Axel knelt next to the slate haired man and ruffled his hair with one of his large, thin hands.

"You may get drunk as easily as Leon, but at least you don't wander off and cause accidents. Although, I might wind up dead tomorrow when you figure out that I was the one that spiked your tea." Axel said as he stood back up. "Oh well, better enjoy the last moments of my life while I can." Axel said as he looked over to the living room to see that Roxas was waking up. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have a certain adorable blondie to take care of."

"Hey Roxy? You want to go sleep in our room?" Axel said as he sat down next to the blonde.

"Not anymore." Roxas mumbled as he put his head on Axel's lap.

"You sure? People are bound to get a little carried away out here." Axel said as he ran a hand through Roxas's hair.

"I don't care. You're comfy." Roxas said as he nuzzled his face into Axel's side.

"Alright. That's fine with me." Axel said as he smiled down at the drowsy Roxas.


'Why do I know these people?' Sephiroth asked himself for what felt like the millionth time that night. His "friends" were busy getting smashed. Luckily, there were still a few that weren't completely drunk. And to his surprise, Axel, Roxas, and Cloud were some of them.

"Hey buddy! Since you're the most sober one here, why don't you run down to the liquor store and buy us something. We're running a little low." Axel shouted across the room at the stoic man.

"Why can't you do it? You haven't drunk very much." Sephiroth said indifferently.

"I would, but I've got to take care of sleepy head over here." Axel said as he pointed down at Roxas.

'More like you're too lazy. Damn insufficient pyromaniac.' Sephiroth mentally sighed.

"Yeah, c'mon Sephi! Go get us some booze!" Yuffie slurred loudly as she tossed an arm around Sephiroth's neck.

"Yuffie?! Are you drunk?!"

"No! Why would you think that?! I swear to drunk I'm not God!" Yuffie exclaimed with a giggle. Sephiroth sighed as he grabbed the back of Yuffie's shirt and sat her down away from him.

"What do you want me to get?" Sephiroth asked. The question was directed towards everyone and the silver haired man soon got a response.

"Surprise us." Cid's slurred voice reached Sephiroth's ears as the said man looped an arm around Sephiroth's neck. Sephiroth shoved Cid away curtly and gave him a look that clearly said 'Don't think that just because you're drunk means that I'll hesitate to kill you.' The tall silver haired man then huffed and walked through the front door without a single word.


Xemnas walked through the darkened streets of Radiant Garden as he stared at nothing particularly interesting.

'I've been gone a lot longer then I realized.' Xemnas thought as he walked past Tifa's crowded bar. Which from what he could see from the window contained no Tifa. Strange…

About ten minutes later he found the house coming into view and a pissy Sephiroth emerging from it. Xemnas's amber eyes lit up in wonder as the other man started to take long strides in his direction. Sephiroth was looking directly at him, yet at the same time, wasn't looking at him at all. Those mako green eyes held a bit of peevishness and although they were looking right into Xemnas's amber ones, they didn't hold the slightest irritation for him. They were looking right past him, angered by something Xemnas couldn't decipher. Sephiroth shoved right past him without even bothering to glance at the other man as he continued going wherever it was he needed to go.

'I wonder what that was all about.' Xemnas asked himself as he opened the front door to the house. Inside, he found a plausible reason for why Sephiroth might be cranky.

'Maybe I should've stayed out a little longer…'

One hour later…

Axel had somehow manage to get Xemnas to start drinking. The usually very stoic man was quite the opposite of his normal behavior. He sat on the couch next to Axel with a reddened face. The pyro was too busy talking to Roxas, who had miraculously recovered from his drowsy state, to notice that Xemnas was slowly scooting closer and closer to him as the minutes passed. Eventually, Xemnas was practically sitting on Axel's lap. But, instead of doing so, he slid into Axel's lap and giggled contently. Axel turned and grinned at the mop of silver hair in his lap.

"Oh look Roxy, he's kind of cute when he's drunk." Axel said as he petted Xemnas's head. Xemnas hiccupped slightly and nuzzled his head further into Axel's lap.

"Never thought it would be so easy to get our Superior drunk." Roxas said with an air of amusement.

"Well…I kind of already knew…"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well there was this one time at New Years where we got him pretty drunk. It was before you joined."

"What happened?"

"…Lets just say that Xemnas is a lot more flexible that we thought he was. Never knew a guy could dance like that…" Axel said with a smirk as the silver haired man in his lap shifted.

"Hey! I'm still here you know!" Xemnas's slurred voice yelled as he tried to sit up.

"Yes, I know that. But you're so drunk that you won't realize you were sitting here tomorrow." Axel said.

"That's not true! I'm not that drunk!" Xemnas said as he lost his balance and fell back into Axel's lap.

"On the contraire Mansex. You are very, very drunk." Axel said with a bit of amusement towards the usually prideful man's antics.

"Don't call me Mansex." Xemnas slurred into Axel's pants. While he was lying there, Xemnas felt something looped uncomfortably around his neck. Unsure of what the item was in his state, Xemnas reached for the offending object and pulled on it. At first, all he could see was a thin, silver chain. But as he kept pulling, a delicate ring with one green gem and one blue gem came into his vision. Xemnas could barely see the ring, for his vision became blurry when a stinging sensation hit him just behind his amber eyes. Axel turned his attention from Roxas back to Xemnas when he heard a soft whimper emerging from his lap.

"Hey…you okay down there buddy?" Axel asked as he looked down at Xemnas with genuine concern. Xemnas sat up and took the chain off and stared at the ring attached to it misty eyed for a moment before tears started to roll down his tan cheeks. What started with a single tear turned into many tears as Xemnas curled into a small ball in the corner of the couch, clutching the ring in an almost painful looking manner. Axel and Roxas turned and looked at each other in concern as Axel turned and gently placed a pale hand on Xemnas's shoulder.

"Hey…what's wrong?" Axel asked soothingly.

"Zack…I'm sorry. I couldn't save you…I'm sorry." Xemnas said shakily as if he hadn't heard Axel's question. Xemnas continued to mutter somewhat incoherent apologies to his deceased lover while Axel and Roxas sat with a loss for words. After a while, Axel put his hand back on Xemnas's shoulder and shook him slightly to get his attention. Xemnas's tear strained eyes looked at Axel in confusion as if he had completely forgotten that Axel was there. In this instance, Axel wouldn't have been surprised if that were the case.

"It's alright now. You may not have Zack anymore…but…you and Sephiroth…I'm sure there's something there…" Axel trailed off.

Xemnas let out a short, but loud, bitter laugh as he turned to face Axel. "Something there between me and that beautiful man! I…I'm not good enough for him…I never will be…" Xemnas was suddenly in tears again. Axel hastily put an arm around Xemnas's shoulder as he and Roxas tried to comfort him with gentle words.


Sephiroth walked home while huffing angrily. Getting to the liquor store had been hectic enough with all of the drunk idiots that prowled throughout the night in Radian Garden. Radiant Garden! It sounded like such a lovely, peaceful town, didn't it?! Not when all of the houselights went down and the streetlights went up! Oh no, that was a completely different story! When it got dark out, the crazy drunks came out…most of them heading for Tifa's bar. Tifa! Damn that woman! Her and her upper body strength and her huge boobs! Who the hell opened a bar with a name like "Seventh Heaven" in the middle of a place like Radiant Garden anyway?! It was a wonder that men came in there to look at Tifa instead of each other! It sounded like a fucking gay strip club! Damn her and her stupid job bartending and the drunk horny men with a high libido undressed her with their eyes! Damn it all!

And it wasn't just drunks that you had to worry about! There were also the strippers, prostitutes and drag queens that you had to deal with if you happened to run into them. Just as luck would have it, Sephiroth always seemed to run into them whenever he happened to be taking a midnight stroll. (Which didn't happen very often.) All of them often tried to pick him up, no matter how distasteful and unapproachable he tried to look. Although it still surprised him to a degree when a hooker or a drag queen prostitute tried to go home with him. Weren't they supposed to go for the rich, homely, depressed looking men with the beer gut that headed for the "classy" strip clubs at night? Weren't they supposed to pay well? Maybe they just assumed that he was rich too and were just looking for someone that wasn't incurably hideous. Who knew.

Sephiroth had had his share of drunk idiots and prostitutes for one night as he headed home with liquor and beer under his arms. Sephiroth's eyes widened when he realized that he was standing in front of the house staring stupidly at the door. The walk back hadn't taken as long as he thought it would. His inner musings must have made the time pass quickly. Sephiroth sighed as he realized that it would be difficult for him to get out his keys and unlock the door without successfully dropping all of the delicate glass bottles under his arms. For good measure, Sephiroth awkwardly turned the doorknob and was surprised to find that the door was unlocked. What was lying on the other side of that door, however, was unexpected and made his heart sink to his stomach

On the couch Xemnas was crying pitifully into Roxas's shoulder. Axel looked up when he heard the door click open to see Sephiroth looking more than a bit confused. For one, Sephiroth didn't understand why Xemnas was crying. Second of all, Sephiroth didn't know why Axel was glaring at him so openly.

"Zack…I'm sorry…I was never good enough for you…and I'll never be good enough for you either…Sephiroth…" Xemnas said quietly. Sephiroth was shocked by Xemnas's statement and just stood there dumbfounded for a moment. Axel continued to glare at him as if he were expecting him to say something, but Sephiroth suddenly found his throat completely dry. He knew that he should offer the other silver haired man some kind of reassurance, but that was the one thing he couldn't do. People always assumed that Sephiroth was absolutely perfect, but, he was far from it, just like any other human being. Sephiroth always found it difficult to show his emotions to others, even if it was someone he had known for years. Although Sephiroth was never afraid of any battle he went into, the thought of telling someone how he really felt about them, in this case Xemnas, was terrifying. Not that that little fact would ever be admitted, that is.

Xemnas continued to mutter some of the most heart breaking words that Sephiroth had ever heard while he just stood there, not knowing what to do. Eventually Xemnas fell asleep, though it was hard to tell if his sudden sleepiness was caused by crying too much or from the amount of alcohol he had consumed.

Roxas moved to pick Xemnas up, or at least try to, (Who knew if he was actually capable of it with regards to his size compared to Xemnas.) but Axel stopped him.

"It's okay Roxy. I'll take him." Axel said as he picked Xemnas up with surprisingly little effort. The untrained eye would assume he couldn't lift anything very big. But the people he lived with weren't "untrained" assumers, now were they? Xemnas barely stirred as Axel lifted him, showing how exhausted he really was.

As Axel moved to go upstairs, all eyes seemed to turn to Sephiroth. (All eyes that were sober enough to care.) Sephiroth cleared his throat uncomfortably before addressing everyone.

"I…have somewhere else to be right now…" Sephiroth said as he averted his eyes and picked up quite of a few beers that had been previously forgotten and abandoned on the floor. Cloud watched Sephiroth closely as the man hurried out of the room at a quicker pace than usual. The blonde knew that something was wrong. Sephiroth never drank unless something was bothering him.


As Axel pulled the covers up on Xemnas's bed, he gave the silver haired man one final glance, standing up in the process.

'Even you didn't deserve all of the things you've been through Xemnas…' Axel thought as he left Xemnas's room and headed for his own. Once there, Axel sat down, beer in hand, and began to ponder his own life experiences.


Sephiroth laid on his bed and continued to drink one of the several beers he had brought up to his room. Sephiroth didn't even bother looking up when he heard his door open. He already knew who it was.

"Alright, tell me what's on your mind." Cloud said as he sat in one of the chairs in Sephiroth's room.

"Can't a man drink without a reason?" Sephiroth asked quietly without bothering to turn to Cloud.

Cloud gave a short laugh before answering. "Some men can do that. Like Cid and Luxord for example. But you on the other hand…I've found that there's always a reason when you start drinking."

Sephiroth only grunted in reply, but Cloud knew the other man well enough to know that it was exactly like Sephiroth saying something along the lines of, "Very observant Cloud. Now what do you expect to achieve from obtaining this knowledge?"

Cloud chuckled to himself as he chose his next words carefully. "Caring about someone isn't the worst that could happen Sephiroth."

Sephiroth turned to glare at Cloud, but the blonde wasn't intimidated by it in the least bit. He found it amusing that Sephiroth was able to keep his cold exterior in check with alcohol running through his veins. Then again…Cloud had never seen Sephiroth drink excessively…

Deciding that he should leave before Sephiroth actually decided to kill him, Cloud stood up and headed for the door. He could feel Sephiroth's eyes glued to his back. The spiky haired blonde chuckled before saying, "You know, the funniest part is you're both so into each other, but you're both too damn stubborn to admit it." Without another word, Cloud left the room, leaving Sephiroth to wonder on his own.

Sephiroth groaned as his mind grew fuzzy while he tried to figure out what Cloud had meant when he said…wait…what did he say again? Maybe he had had enough to drink…


Roxas entered his bedroom quietly and cautiously. The room felt very stiff when he entered and the aura was different. He could tell Axel was angry. The room always felt considerably warmer when he was in a bad mood. Roxas cleared his throat to get his lover's attention. Axel didn't even budge, but Roxas could tell that he had heard him.

"Axel…" Roxas said softly.

"It's okay Roxas. I'm fine." Axel said churlishly.

"But Axel-

"I said I'm fine Roxas!"

"But it seemed like you were really-

"I said I'm fine Roxas! Now leave me the fuck alone god damnit!" Axel yelled harshly. Roxas whimpered as Axel turned to him with angry green eyes.

"Axel…please don't close me out…I'm just trying to help!" Roxas whispered desperately as tears started to form behind his eyes. Axel's eyes softened promptly upon the prospect of Roxas crying. He realized that he had never yelled at Roxas, even when he was in the worst of moods. Axel made his way over to Roxas and embraced him securely. Roxas blinked in confusion and returned the hug slowly.

"I'm sorry…I didn't mean to yell…I'm just frustrated right now…" Axel said benignly as he took in the scent of the other's blonde hair.

"…It's okay…but…what's on your mind? You've been so distant lately…" Roxas asked serenely. Axel took Roxas's hand and led him over to the bed. Both sat down before Axel spoke.

"What happened to Xemnas…it shouldn't have happened at all. It wasn't right…what those monsters did to him." Axel said quietly, his chin resting on his pale hands.

"Of course it was horrible Axel. But that's not your fault." Roxas said as he rested his head on Axel's bony, but warm shoulder.

"I know that, but I just feel compelled to do something about it."

"That's why we're all leaving home in a week, remember? Those monsters have done enough damage."

"You know what really bothers me the most?"

"What?"

"The fact that I almost ended up exactly like him."

"Who? Xemnas? How the hell do you figure that?"

"After you left the Organization, and after I found out that DIZ was using you, I almost lost it Roxas. I would've killed anyone who stood in my way as long as it meant I could have you back. At one point it almost drove me completely mad. All that time I spent complaining about Xemnas and I didn't even bother to question if there was a reason behind his acridness. I guess what I'm getting at is…I could have easily been him. When you returned to Sora's body, I thought I had lost you for good. I wanted revenge so badly…"

"So you think that you could have ended up making the same mistakes that Xemnas did when he created Organization XIII and could have turned out resentful and lonely just like him?" Roxas asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well yeah, basically. I thought you would be a little more unsettled by the thought of me being like our ex-Superior. Why are you so calm about all of this?" Axel asked. Roxas laughed and looked at the red head amusingly.

"I don't doubt that you could have ended up like Xemnas, but one; you didn't, and two; I would have never let you." Roxas said.

"But by the time I was almost too far gone you were already merged with Sora." Axel said.

"Well then, I would've found a way to get Sora to go to wherever you were and would have taken control of the situation when he got there!" Roxas said playfully, but at the same time a bit seriously, as he snuggled into Axel's chest. The pyro had to smile as he looked down at his blonde beauty. He looked like a fallen angel with his eyes closed sleepily and his blonde messy hair. The moonlight bathed his skin, making him look paler, except for his cheeks, which seemed flushed compared to the rest of him.

"You look absolutely adorable right now, you know that?" Axel said as he lifted Roxas's chin so that half lidded blue eyes were looking directly into his green ones. Axel moved closer to Roxas, their lips just centimeters apart, when Roxas shoved him away suddenly. Axel blinked several times, clearly confused about what had just taken place. Roxas rarely pushed him away, especially not when he least expected it.

"Hey! What was that for?!" Axel exclaimed.

"You reek of booze. Go change your clothes and brush your teeth." Roxas said as he laid down in the bed and turned his back to his lover.

"Fine, I will. Demanding little blonde." Axel grumbled as he scratched his head and walked towards the bathroom. Roxas grabbed a nearby pillow and grinned satisfactorily when he heard a faint "Ow!" as the pillow hit Axel square in the head.


'Why am I here?' Sephiroth asked himself for at least the fifth time as he towered over Xemnas. The room was dark, but Sephiroth could still make out Xemnas's figure because the moonlight filtered through one of the bedroom windows.

Sephiroth continued to observe the sleeping figure with curiosity. He noticed the way the man's eyelids fluttered every once in a while and his rather pretty, well defined face. His eyes traveled down to the sleeping man's tanned chest as he watched it rise and fall, wondering what the other's body looked like underneath the blankets…

Sephiroth shook his head at the dirty mental images that were starting to cloud his head and stared at the man's face again. Sephiroth knelt down beside the bed so that he was hovering much closer to Xemnas's face.

'You deserve so much better than what you've received.' Sephiroth said to himself as he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the other man's forehead. As he realized what he was doing, Sephiroth stood up hastily and moved as far away from Xemnas as he could without actually leaving the room.

'Why did I just do that?!' Sephiroth asked himself frantically as he ran his hands through his long silver hair. 'I've had way too much to drink! That explains everything! Just had too much to drink!' Sephiroth tried to convince himself as he cursorily left the room.

The next morning…

Xemnas squinted as the bright morning sun filtered through his bedroom window. Xemnas slowly opened his eyes and looked at his room.

'How did I wind up here? I don't remember getting myself undressed for bed.' Xemnas said to himself as he observed that he was only in his boxers. 'I don't even remember coming in here last night. What's going on?! All I remember is coming back and everyone was drunk…oh no…'

That's when it hit. The first thing Xemnas noticed was that his throat and mouth felt considerably dry. Then the pounding in his head crept up at him from out of nowhere. Xemnas groaned as he held his head in agony, but jumped when he heard a voice break through his realization that he had a hangover.

"You're finally awake." The voice said. Xemnas turned a little too quickly, which caused his head to hurt even more, as he found out who was in his room. Sephiroth was standing in the doorway, his eyes as piercing and beautiful as ever.

"What are you doing here?" Xemnas said as he held his throbbing head. Sephiroth was right next to the bed in less than a second.

"I figured you would need these." Sephiroth said as he extended both arms. One hand held a glass of water while the other held two painkillers.

"Thanks." Xemnas mumbled as he quickly popped the pills in his mouth and swallowed them with the cold water that slightly soothed his dry throat.

"Hey…do you know what happened last night?" Xemnas asked.

"No." Sephiroth said quickly. "I have no knowledge of anything that happened last night. Though I can assure you that nothing bad happened." Sephiroth said quietly. Before Xemnas could question Sephiroth's odd behavior, the other silver haired man was already speaking again.

"Now hurry up and get dressed. Everyone's waiting for you downstairs." Sephiroth said as he quickly turned to leave.

"Waiting for me? Why-

"We're having a meeting to discuss some final plans for next week." Sephiroth said from the doorway before rounding the corner and disappearing from Xemnas's vision.

'The meeting…' Xemnas thought. He had just now remembered that in a weeks time they were leaving. Leaving to face all of the fears he had tried to forsake years ago.
