Chapter XI: Aftereffects

Part I: Burn Baby, Burn.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Axel yelled furiously. You could almost see the electricity travel between his spikes, sapphire eyes shining brightly with anger.

The black haired boy's head snapped up into Axel's direction, bright yellow eyes narrowed and scowl on his face. "Fuck off loser, I saw the boy first." Upon hearing he redhead's voice Roxas' head had turned to face the redhead as well. "A-Akuseeeeel." The blond slurred, blue eyes unfocused and clouded.

Axel growled loudly at this. "What the fuck did you do to him?" The raven just smirked at the redhead before grabbing another fistful of blond spikes and adverting his attention to the lynx boy in front of him. "Continue kid." Roxas just kept staring at Axel. Or at least that's what the pyromaniac though, he couldn't actually be sure due to the unfocused look in those baby blues.

"I said continue." The raven snarled irritated, shoving Roxas' face into his crotch. At this Axel was unable to control himself anymore and launched himself at the raven, shoving Roxas to the side before grabbing the other by his collar and slamming him against the wall, legs dangling in the air.

The blond groined as he was unceremoniously shoved aside, falling to the ground. Keeping a tight grip on the raven's throat he hissed. "Who the fuck do you think you are. If you even as much as look at Roxas again I'm going to the cops, understood?" The raven just shrugged, or at least as much as it was possible to shrug when being pinned to a wall. "I'm Vanitas and as I said, I laid eyes on him first so you just go find yourself another bitch."

The colour of Axel's face right now could probably rival his hair. He quickly released this so called Vanitas' collar and before the raven could straighten himself a powerful blow was landed square in his face. Vanitas had now fallen face down on the ground and before he knew it the redhead was sitting on his and had pulled his face up by his black spikes. "Roxy's no one's bitch but he is mine, got it memorized? Now, just to make sure you got the message I'll give you something to remember me by. Grinning wickedly the pyromaniac pulled a lighter from his pocket, held it next to Vanitas' hair and lit it. The spikes quickly caught fire and with a smug look Axel crawled of the raven's back and picked Roxas up from the ground.

His grin only widened when he heard Vanitas' yells and saw him clawing at his head. "Serves him right." "Akuseeel." Roxas slurred again, wrapping his arms around the redhead's neck before placing sloppy kisses on his neck and jaw. "Roxy….. Roxy… Rox." The blond just ignored him. Axel groined irritated. Just peachy, now he had to deal with a drugged Roxas. "Roxas stop." He finally said sternly. The lynx boy just looked at him, blue eyes still clouded and unfocused. "Just go to sleep Roxy." A soft smile overtook the boy's lips and he snuggled his head into the crook of the redhead's neck. He fell asleep mere seconds after.

Having made his way to the front of the building again Axel was now looking around. "Okay, so I've got a drugged, now asleep Roxy with me so the best course of action would be to just go home." All good and well but the actual question was, how were they going to get home.

He and Roxas had come with Naminé, Demyx and Zexion in Zexion's car so obviously he couldn't just take the schemer's car for how would they get home when the party was over.

Still pondering about a way to get home Axel's attention was suddenly caught by the sight of a bus stopping at a bus stop just a few feet away from where he was standing. If he wouldn't have had his arms full of Roxas he would have face palmed, hard. But alas, he couldn't nor had he the time to do so. Running as quick as he was willing to risk with Roxas sleeping in his arms Axel managed to get on the bus just before the doors closed.

They got some stares from the passengers already on the bus but the redhead ignored them as he paid for their ride and found an empty seat and sat himself down, the blond now seated in his lap and snuggling against his chest. Somehow Axel had the general idea that not even a bomb going off would be able to wake the drugged, sleeping teen.

Sighing softly the redhead took off his top hat and placed it on the seat beside him before leaning his head against the cool window. What had been supposed to be a fun night out had turned out to be Axel's second worst nightmare. The first being him not arriving on time. A shudder ran down his spine at that mere thought, a nauseous feeling rising in his stomach.

Roxas stirred in his lap, searching for a more comfortable position. Absentmindedly Axel started running his finger through golden locks, a hint of a smile adorning his lips. The blond lynx boy was just too cute and naïve for his own good. He's never forgive himself if anything were to happen to the boy. He'd have to tell him about the dangers of going with random people, especially people looking as fishy as that creepy Vanitas. Strange actually, how such a small boy could have taken such a large place in his heart in such a short time.

Part II: Eerie Silence.

After quite some time Axel recognized the bus stop they had just stopped at as the one on the corner of their street so he picked Roxas up again and carried him outside. The midnight air was clean and cool. A welcome sensation after the musty air inside the bus. Taking a deep breath and closing his eyes for a moment Axel just stood there on the sidewalk, enjoying the scent of the night. A soft chuckle escaped his lips when he felt Roxas shiver lightly in his arms before pressing himself closer against the redhead for his body heath.

Deciding that that was his cue he started walking down the street until he stood in front of the giant house, more of a mansion due to its sheer size. When finally standing in front of the door he balanced Roxas on one arm so that he could take out his keys and soon enough they found themselves inside.

The house had an eerie feel to it, being all dark and empty like this. Something Axel had never experienced before. Usually there was always something going on. Deciding that it was actually kind of nice to have the house all to himself whilst it was silent like this the pyromaniac headed upstairs towards his room.

Once there he carefully stripped Roxas from his shirt, pants and shoes before tucking him in underneath the covers. He wondered if the blond would remember anything that had happened in the alley the next day due to his drugged state. In all honesty, Axel hoped the answer to that question would be a no.

Smiling softly he pressed a chaste kiss to Roxas' forehead before stripping off his own clothes as well, throwing on a pair of sweatpants. Now, he had the whole house to himself so what to do. A face splitting grin appeared and his poisonous eyes lit up. He swiftly and silently disconnected his PlayStation from the poor excuse of a tv he had in his room before grabbing some games. Humming softly he descended the stairs.

Not even two minutes later he had his gaming hooked up to the humongous flat screen that hung of the wall in the living room. Xemnas never allowed him to use it for gaming but dear old Mansex wasn't here at the moment. Probably too busy 'punishing' a certain blue haired puppy. He couldn't help but snicker at the thought.

Several hours later Axel had gotten bored with his game so he decided to join little Roxy in his bed. Stretching his arms above his head he suppressed a yawn as he moved everything back upstairs. Soon enough he was snoring soundly bedside the little blond.

- What An Unexpected Find Can Lead To –

Maybe an hour or so later the house's first residents aside from Axel and Roxas trickled in. Naminé, Demyx and Zexion had decided to leave the party as things had started to get pretty rowdy in there. Several of the party goers had been leaving or already left and the only ones that seemed to be staying were either stupid or completely wasted. A few small fights had already broken out and surely by the end of it those would have turned into one massive one.

In the course of an hour all the residents except for two had returned home. As almost everyone was at least slightly tipsy they all just crawled into bed, although some were more than likely in for a surprise the next morning.

When morning arose and dawn painted the sky in pastel pinks and oranges the house's last two residents returned. No one would actually want to know where they had been or what they had been doing as Saix and Xemnas leaned heavily on one another, drunken giggling filling the house and their disheveled state together with some dubious stains on their clothes made that quite obvious.

Part III: The Morning After

It wasn't until somewhere after noon that the household started to wake. Over half the house's inhabitants groaned sickly as they woke, head feeling as if a whole horde of heartless bosses had thundered through it. One after another they wobbly made their way towards the kitchen where they sat down around the table, aspirins dissolving into glasses of water.

Pained groans escaped the lips of Xigbar, Xaldin, Luxord and Larxene as they ears were assaulted with a piercing screech.

The sound could be traced back to second highest floor of the house, produced by Vexen's vocal chords. "THIS CAN'T BE TRUE, THIS CAN'T HAVE FUCKING HAPPENED. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME YOU FLOWER INFESTED HARPY."

Vexen was fuming inside Marluxia's room, the only thing covering his naked form a thin sheet that had been haphazardly wrapped around his waist. Marluxia was rubbing his temples at the shrill sound of the blond's voice. "Please babe, could you turn the volume a bit down please? It's too early for this."

"DON'T YOU 'BABE' ME, YOU WICKED BASTARD. WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?" If possible steam would have come from the scientist's ears. It would have only completed the picture with his red face and eyes that were threatening to pop from his eye sockets.

The pinket just laid himself on his back on the bed and smiled smugly. "Oh, nothing much. Just the most amazing butt sex in history."

And this was where Vexen snapped. He launched himself towards the pink haired man and started to strangle him. "YOU BASTARD, YOU FUCKING EVIL BASTARD." "I'm joking, I'm joking, okay." Marluxia managed to choke out. The blond stopped shaking the pinket at this but didn't remove his hands from his throat. If looks could kill Marluxia would have been death a gazillion times over, there would be nothing left but a bloody pulp.

"Geez, quit being such a woman Vexy. I mean, It's not as if I didn't want to. Quite the opposite actually but the moment your back touched the bed you fell asleep." Shrugging Marluxia sat back up and crossed his legs, looking like innocence itself. How he pulled that off no one knew. It was one of those infamous Organization Mysteries.

"YOU BITCH." Was all Vexen said before he smacked Marluxia and stomped out of the room and towards his own room/not so secret lab. Smiling the pinket touched his cheek were he had been hit. "Feisty." He murmured. "I like it." Just like Saix he was just a pure bred closet masochist.

Vexen stormed out of his room again but now carrying some ridiculously large containers filled with acid, noticed his nakedness, hurried back inside and reappeared now fully clothed. A glare that could easily freeze hell over was given to anyone and anything he encountered on his way to the garden. Marluxia's precious flower filled garden.

Soon enough all the flower bushes had dissolved into bubbling heaps of flower smelling acid. A content grin was on the man's lips whilst he performed his act of revenge before tipping back his head and cackling like the true mad scientist he was. All he would have to now was put his finger in a socket so that his hair would match that image as well.

- What An Unexpected Find Can Lead To –

It was none too surprising that Vexen's 'delicate' voice had awoken the rest of the house's inhabitants. Demyx and Zexion had both taken something to eat but had moved to sit in the couch to eat it. The sick air that hung in the kitchen was not one one wanted to dwell in for too long. Having finished their food they were now cuddling as they watched tv.

Finally the last of the house's residents decided to grace the other's with their presence. Figuratively speaking of course. As Xemnas dragged himself through the living room and into the kitchen to get himself some aspirin the look in his eyes was as malicious as it could get. The moment he set food in the kitchen the other occupants hurried outside as if their lives depended on it. Which they probably did. They all hurried upstairs towards their rooms.

Mere moments later Saix appeared in the doorway, looking every bit as horrible as their superior had. The only difference was that the blue haired man was limping heavily. Despite him looking like complete shit Zexion didn't fail to notice the dreamy look in the eyes of The Luna Diviner.

He and Demyx watched him retreat in the kitchen as well and when the door felt closed again Demyx being his ever oblivious self turned to face his boyfriend. "You think he hurt his leg or something like that?" The schemer just gave the blond a knowing smirk. "Nah, I guess he merely found out exactly how 'superior' the superior can be." Demyx just raised a confused eyebrow before turning back to the tv and shifting his body a bit so he was seated more comfortably on Zexion's lap.

Zexion couldn't help but snicker softly. It was, to say the least, disturbingly easy to picture those two in a sadist-masochist sort of relation.

AN: It. Is. Finished. Somehow I had trouble starting this chapter but once I had about half a page I done I was on a roll and it practically wrote itself.

I'll be honest with you guys. I've got no idea where the random MarVex drama came from. I'm not practically fond of this pairing but it just….. appeared. Yeah, whatever.

*grin grin* I just love what Zexy said to Demy in the end.

I don't know when the next chapter will be out. My friend is currently on vacation and I'll be leaving myself a few days after he comes back.

Thank you sooo much xXMAKOTOkyuuXx and The Lexicon of Zexionfor reviewing. Cyber cupcakes to both of you. The boy was, indeed, Vanitas.

Chapter 12 by my friend. Please R&R.
