AkuRoku Diligence Chapter 25

Axel honked the horn repeatedly shouting, "Hurry up!"

Roxas and Sora finally ran out of the house, carrying their duffle bags. They stored their bags in the trunk before climbing in the huge truck.

"About time," Axel growled, driving off.

"Does Marly know where we are going for his bachelor party?" Sora asked.

"If you can call this a bachelor party," Roxas added.

"No, he doesn't. I already packed his bag so he has no idea. I almost forgot, I need one of you to distract Marly the whole way so he can't tell where we're going."

"I'll do it!" Roxas volunteered.

"Good, make sure he doesn't look out the window."

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Marluxia shouted over Axel's blazing horn as he left his house.

Axel continued honking the horn until Marluxia slid into his seat next to Roxas.

"About time, princess," Axel said as he pulled away from the curb.

"Where are we going for my bachelor party?" Marluxia demanded, ignoring Axel.

"That's a surprise," Zexion said as he turned the page of his book.

Marluxia groaned, falling back into his seat. "I hate surprises."

"You're going to just love this one!" Demyx said as he took Zexion's book away.

"Demyx!" Zexion protested.

"You're always reading. I feel left out. I have a book we can look at together," Demyx said, pulling out a book.

"Demyx, I am not interested in Dora the Explorer, SpongeBob, or whatever type of book that interests you," Zexion said flatly, removing his reading glasses.

"But this is a picture book!" Demyx whined, holding it up.

Zexion sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "That doesn't count as a book unless it has words in my opinion."

"But," Demyx protested, eyes shinning with unshed tears.

Zexion looked into Demyx's wet eyes, sighing. "Okay, I guess I'll humor you," Zexion said, giving in.

"Yay!" Demyx squealed, opening the book to reveal abstract art.

Roxas and Marluxia watched with interest as Zexion and Demyx began to argue about a picture.

"It's a lion, Dem."

"No, it's clearly a dolphin or else it wouldn't be under water."

"It's abstract art! It's a lion!"

"You don't have to get so pissy."

"Are we leaving town?" Marluxia asked, looking out the window.

"I don't believe that's any of your business," Sora said as Axel shot Roxas a look.

"Marly, did you bring your ipod?" Roxas asked, swinging his legs over Marluxia's.

"Yeah, I bring my ipod with me every where."

"Can I listen to it with you?" Roxas asked shyly, eyes widening with false innocence.

"Of course," Marluxia said, handing Roxas one of the ear pieces.

Axel looked over his shoulder as Roxas shamelessly flirted with Marluxia. Axel frowned as Roxas twisted a lock of Marluxia's hair on his finger.

"Did you do something different with your hair?" Roxas asked.

"Yeah, I have new shampoo! It has honey in it!"

"Ooh, I can smell it," Roxas murmured, leaning in to sniff the hair that lay against Marluxia's neck.

Marluxia's eyes widened in shock as Roxas' nose skimmed against his neck.

"I like it. I always found honey kinda…sexy," Roxas whispered, purring the last word.

"When did Roxas get so bold?" Axel demanded.

Sora looked up from his phone to stare at Axel. "About a week after he left you."

"What?"

"He's been…going out and having fun with…other guys," Sora whispered timidly.

Axel looked over his shoulder at Roxas. He frowned as Roxas slowly began to trace patterns on Marluxia's hand, traveling up his arm. Marluxia smiled, relaxing in the blond's hands.

Marluxia's eyes widened. He turned so that he faced Roxas.

"Oh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh-oooh-oh-oh-oh! Caught in a bad romance~!" They sung in unison.

The two turned to face each other as they sung along with the music. They both sat up, kneeling in their seats as they sang. Roxas began to sway his hips to the music. Marluxia placed his hands on Roxas' hips as he began to dance along with the blond.

"Okay! Sit down! You're going to make me crash!" Axel shouted, angrier about where Marluxia's hands currently are than his car.

Marluxia and Roxas sat down, singing quietly to them selves. Axel grumbled something under his breath, giving Marluxia a death glare.

Marluxia looked up, sensing Axel's glare. He shrank back into his seat, giving Axel an apologetic look. Axel just smirked at him, knowing he would get his pay back very soon.

"It's a clown!" Demyx shouted, pointing at the painting.

"Demyx, it's clearly an old lady," Zexion said, turning the picture a little.

"Who wears makeup like that? A clown!"

"It's a woman."

"It's obviously a clown. And they say I'm the stupid one."

"You are the stupid one."

"Gasp! How dare you?" Demyx asked dramatically.

"Demyx, you're supposed to gasp not say it."

Demyx gasped. "How dare you?"

Zexion chuckled, shaking his head. "You're a character."

"Is that a good thing?" Demyx asked, sounding worried.

"Just look at your book," Zexion murmured.

Axel sighed, driving faster.

"Why are we on a hill?" Marluxia asked, looking out the window.

"Just listen to your music," Axel growled.

Marluxia shot Axel a look before turning his attention back to his ipod and the singing blond.

"Oh, you touch my tralala, mmm…my ding ding dong," Roxas sang, engaging Marluxia in a duet.

Marluxia's head snapped up as Axel pulled over in a small clearing. Marluxia looked around in confusion as everyone exited the car. He quickly jumped out the car, hurrying after Axel.

"Where are we? Why aren't we at a strip club or something?" Marluxia demanded.

"Where going camping!" Axel said enthusiastically.

Marluxia looked around as everyone pulled the camping stuff out of Axel's car. Marluxia started laughing, causing everyone to give him concerned looks.

"This is a joke right?"

"No, we're really going camping," Sora said honestly.

Marluxia walked up to Axel, throwing an arm around his shoulder. He leaned over so that his lips are close to Axel's ear.

"Axel, one day you are going to wake up in a cold dark room, chained to a metal table. You are going to scream when you realize your legs are gone you're going to start screaming. Then you'll hear an evil chuckle. When you look over I will be sitting down, twirling a bloody knife in my hand with a sadistic smile. THEN I WILL CUT YOU OPEN, RIP OUT YOUR INTESTANTS, AND USE THEM TO PLAY JUMP ROPE WITH!" Marluxia screamed.

Axel ducked from around Marluxia's arm, standing a few feet back. He pursed his lips, holding his finger against them in thought.

"I have no response to that but I do have a question. Will you eat me?"

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Marluxia screeched, jumping on Axel.

Demyx quickly wrapped his arms around Marluxia's torso, pulling him off Axel. Axel quickly scrambled away from the angry teen.

"GET BACK HERE YOU STUPID FUCK!"

"No thanks, I like my face the way it is."

Marluxia's limbs flailed around as he tried vainly to reach Axel. Demyx kept a firm grip on him. Marluxia's muscles went limp as he gave up.

"How will I wash my hair?" Marluxia mumbled miserably.
