Roxas was standing outside of Axel's door. He had been there for all of four minutes, unable to bring himself to enter. His hand slowly made its way to his neck where Sora had left an unbelievably large hickey. Roxas frowned. He always felt back when he did things with Sora, but when he actually went to see Axel, he felt one hundred times worse. He sighed and unlocked the door with his key.

"I was wondering when you were going to come in. What were you doing out there?"

"N-nothing… I'm just tired."

"What happened here?" Axel touched the Band-Aid on Roxas's neck with his fingertips.

The blonde jumped, pulling away from Axel, "Nothing. I got a mosquito bite and I kept scratching it so I covered it to stop myself."

Axel raised a brow, "Okay. So what brings you here today?"

"What do you mean? It's been like, three days since I've last seen you. Didn't you miss me?"

"No. It's quite quiet without you around."

"You're a jerk!" Roxas whined, pushing Axel.

The redhead laughed and wrapped his arms around Roxas, "I'm kidding, I'm kidding."

"I missed you."

"I missed you too," Axel smiled, kissing the top of Roxas's head.

"I talked to my parents about private school," Roxas said, pulling away from his boyfriend.

"So did I. My mom's totally cool with me going for the rest of my senior year since there's only a few months left. What did yours say?"

"Well, for starters I found out that the only reason they wanted me home was because they couldn't afford to keep me there… but if I can get in, my mother doesn't mind me going."

"That should be no problem for you. Then when you turn eighteen we'll move closer to the school together."

Roxas groaned, "That's so long from now. I'm not even sixteen."

"You will be in four days."

"Either way I'll graduate before I turn eighteen."

"Mn, that's right, you skipped a grade, huh?" Axel paused for a moment, "What's a fifteen year old doing with more experience than even the average twenty year old?"

Roxas shrugged, "It's a little fucked up when you put it that way."

Axel laughed, "So babe, what do you want to do? Wanna stay here and help me unpack? Or go out?"

"I dunno. I just didn't want to be home anymore," Roxas sighed heavily, walking over to Axel's pile-of-blankets bed.

"What's wrong? He's not hitting you is he?" Axel asked, anger sneaking into his voice.

"No, no. Not me at least. He hits her, but… Sora said if we do anything he'll beat us then hit her harder. I don't really like my mother for letting my father send me away, but… she raised me. I hate him for hurting her."

Axel thought for a moment, joining his boyfriend on the bed, "You need to get out of that house, babe. I don't want that man hurting you."

Roxas shrugged, "He mostly ignores me." He pushed a few blankets to the side and stretched out on the floor.

"If he even touches you, you come to me. You come here and stay with me."

The blonde felt like shit. Axel was fucking amazing, the perfect boyfriend. Yet he still messed around behind his back. "I'm sorry," he mumbled, too quiet for the redhead to understand.

"Hm?"

"I'm tired."

"Did you sleep late?"

"Kind of. Sora got upset and ran off so I waited up for him. He didn't get home till late. I had to let him in through the window. Then my parents' fighting kept me up after that."

"Sora? Why was he out so late?"

"He was fucking his… boyfriend I guess, at the park."

"Outside?!"

"No, the indoor park," Roxas said rather sarcastically.

"That's…"

"Oh, it's very kinky, trust me. You should try it some time."

"Mm, sounds fun."

Roxas laughed sleepily. He yawned and closed his eyes, "But for now… can we just sleep for a bit?"
