AkuRoku Diligence Chapter 26
"Marluxia, it's not going to be that bad," Sora said optimistically.
"I don't want to go hiking," Marluxia grumbled.
"Aw, come on Marly. The sun is about to set! It's a much better sight on the cliff!" Demyx said.
"No, I'm staying here," Marluxia said stubbornly.
"Its okay, let him stay here," Roxas said as he put on his hiking bag.
"Yeah, Marly just make sure to watch out for bears," Axel said as the group started for the cliff.
"Bears?" Marluxia asked quietly, fear clear in his voice.
Marluxia watched as their figures began to get smaller and smaller. His head snapped to the side as something ran through the bushes.
"Wait for me!" Marluxia screamed, running after them.
The raccoon jumped out the bushes, looking around curiously.
"Ugh! How long is this walk?" Marluxia demanded.
"Marluxia, it's only a five mile walk," Sora said reasonably.
"That's five miles too long!"
"We're almost there. I can see the cliff right now," Demyx said. "Jump on my sexy uke slash seme," Demyx said, bending over so Zexion can jump on his back.
Zexion jumped on Demyx's back, locking his legs around his waist. "Run my sexy seme slash uke!" Zexion ordered.
"I want a piggy back ride too!" Roxas said as he watched Demyx run off to the cliff.
"Jump on my sexy uke," Axel said, bending over.
Roxas sighed, jumping on Axel's back. He couldn't help but smile as he said, "Run along my sexy seme!"
"What about me?"
"Sora!" Roxas shouted as Sora and Marluxia finally caught up with them.
Sora forced himself to take the last few steps before dumping Marluxia on the floor, off his back. Sora collapsed on the floor, gasping for breath.
"Are you okay?" Roxas asked, helping his twin up.
"I'm…fine," Sora gasped.
"Marluxia, why did you have Sora carry you up here?" Axel demanded.
"I didn't want to walk," Marluxia said, shrugging.
"But look at you. You're a huge beast compared to Sora!" Demyx said, gesturing to Marluxia and Sora.
"He offered," Marluxia said dismissively.
"Don't ever get on his back again, you beast," Roxas said as he helped Sora to sit on the edge of the cliff.
Everyone sat down at the edge of the cliff. They stayed silent as the sun began to slowly set.
"I got a surprise," Roxas said, pulling six sea-salt ice creams out of his bag.
Everyone smiled as they got their ice cream, watching as the sun began to disappear.
Roxas shivered as a cold gust of wind rustled through their hair.
"Cold?" Axel murmured.
"Just a little," Roxas whispered.
"You don't need to give me your jacket," Roxas whispered as Axel began to unzip his jacket.
"Good, because I wasn't," Axel smirked as he removed his arm from one of the sleeves.
Axel wrapped his arm around Roxas' waist, pulling him close so his jacket could cover both of them. Roxas stiffened for a moment before relaxing. He leaned into Axel's side, breathing in his sweet scent.
Axel gently ran his warm thumb up and down Roxas' arm, staring at the blond rather than the beautiful sunset.
Roxas looked up at Axel, smiling innocently. Axel gave a small smile in return, tracing Roxas' lips with his finger. Roxas kissed the tip of Axel's finger before turning his attention back to the sunset.
Axel woke up to the sound of voices out side the tent. He looked around, noticing Marluxia's absence. Axel crawled to the mouth of the tent, unzipping it. His brilliant green eyes fell on a truck parked next to Axel's car.
Axel scrambled out of the tent to see who is there. Axel smiled as he noticed the blond talking to Marluxia.
"Larxene," Axel said, hugging her.
"Hi Axel," Larxene said, returning the hug.
Axel looked Larxene over, noting the new hair. She had grown her hair out for the wedding.
"Why are you here?" Roxas demanded, walking over to them.
Larxene glared at the short blond. "Nice to see you Roxas. You haven't grown an inch," Larxene sneered.
"Nice to see your hair grew back," Roxas shot back.
Roxas surveyed Larxene and Marluxia thoughtfully. "Larxene I have a question. Why do you want to marry Marluxia if he is so obviously gay?" Roxas asked bluntly.
Larxene raised her eyebrows in shock as Marluxia blanched. "I don't know what you're talking about," Larxene said, voice colder that ice.
"Stop pretending to ignore it. His hair is pink; he gets his hair done at the hair salon at least once a week along with his nails. He even goes shopping all the time."
"For your information I am bi," Marluxia said.
"Well excuse me but a cock sucker is a cock sucker in my book."
"I'm done with this conversation," Larxene said in a cold, dismissive voice.
Roxas folded his arms, looking off in a different direction. His eyes widened as he noticed the expensive RV parked by the small stream.
"Who's RV?" Roxas asked, gesturing to the shiny RV.
Axel looked over at the RV, confused.
"It's mine," Larxene said in a bragging sort of voice.
"Why did you bring it?" Roxas asked.
"Marluxia asked me to come camping with him last night. He sounded so lonely that I just had to come. I can't sleep in a tent, it's not…healthy enough for me so I bought a RV."
"Marluxia will be sleeping in there with you?" Axel asked in disbelief.
"Of course. I won't let my Marly sleep in such conditions," Larxene said, eyeing the tent with disgust.
"That's why I love you so much," Marluxia cooed, wrapping his arms around Larxene's waist and nuzzling her neck.
"Marly and I are going to go snuggle," Larxene said, taking Marluxia's hand in hers.
Roxas and Axel watched as the two left to go in the luxurious RV. Marluxia looked over his shoulder to smirk at them as he escaped into the safety of the RV.
"What's going on?" Zexion asked.
"Who's RV?" Sora asked.
"Where's Mar-Mar?" Demyx asked.
"He's in the RV with Larxene," Roxas spat.
"That little bitch," Zexion said in disbelief.
"We are so going to make this trip hell for him," Axel said, evil plans forming in his mind.
