I looked at the clock, and was surprised that the time now read 3:00PM. It didn't seem so long ago since I first came over Axel's house. After the whole 'incident' with Demyx, I decided to take a nap. With Axel. Who knows what exactly he did to me while I was asleep... I heard the atomic sound of Axel snoring loudly right next to me. It was irritating, but I decided to let him sleep a little longer so I could have time to think.
I sat myself up, still thinking about Riku. Was he really that mad from what happened yesterday? Sora must've blabbed. There was no other explanation. He didn't seem the type to pick random fights with people. If anything, Axel looked that type. Boy was I surprised to see that he was just some needy lovesick smoker. And here I was thinking he'd be the guy punching me out after school. It just goes to show I shouldn't judge people too quickly.
"Rarmmm... no..." I almost flew 50 feet in the air when Axel grumbled loudly. He was talking in his sleep. What a shock. He suddenly sprung up, covered in sweat. "Well, now." I said in an identical voice to Axel's. "This is something that you only dream about." He looked at me, with a tired expression. "El oh el." he replied tiredly, falling backwards. I reached over next to me and wildly shook him, trying my best to be as annoying as Axel.. "C'mon. I gotta go home. This isn't the time to take a nap."
"Right..." he replied with a yawn. "Seeya, Roxas." He then pushed me, and put his pillow over his head. This wasn't like Axel. Usually he'd be jumping off of cliffs just to walk me to my house. Still, whatever. "Uhh. Okay. Bye, I guess." I replied. Axel just grunted, not even caring. I left his room, slamming the door behind me as hard as I could. Yeah, I hope that woke him up.
I went through Axel's house the way I came, which wasn't very hard since the house was so small. As I walked into the living room, the door burst open. A tall red-haired guy looked at me curiously with his piercing green eyes, shutting the door carefully behind him. He looked like he was in his early twenties. I didn't know Axel had a brother - ?
"Hi... I'm a friend of Axel's?" I said nervously. I really wasn't sure of what I actually was saying at the time. I felt that it would've been two awkward if I didn't say anything at all... "Hi. I'm his father. Who the hell are you?" he replied rather rudely. His father...? He looked like almost an exact replica of Axel, except his hair was alot shorter. Even his voice was almost the same, just a little deeper.
"Roxas." I replied, not knowing what else to say. I wasn't really big on introducing myself, since I've never actually met any of my friend's parents. I could blame that on my mom, of course. "Roxas? Oh, that kid." I wasn't really surprised. I knew Axel had to have been telling his parents by me by now. "So he's told you about me?" I asked, hoping to get an answer like: 'yeah, he's been talking about you nonstop.'
"No, never head of you. I just wanted to skip big introductions." He replied, laughing a little. I could not believe it. He really was like Axel... "Well I gotta go..." I said, trying to push him out of the way. This was a waste of time. I could've been halfway home by now! "Wait now, Rocks-Ass. I wanna know what you're doin', sneaking off without Axel in site." He said, moving directly in front of the door. "You're not gonna run off with my beer like that other kid did, are ya?"
Just now, an annoyed Axel came into the room. I didn't even hear him walk down the hallway, let alone walk through the kitchen. "It's Roxas, idiot." he snapped to his father." And that other 'kid' probably ran off with your beer again today." Axel's dad now shared the same expression as his son. An annoyed look, that would make anyone back away.
"Excuse me? Do you want me to kick your ass out at 18? I told you not to bring stray kids into the freaken house!" he barked back at Axel. Axel just shrugged, not really caring. I felt very awkward, standing there while there was a family fight going on. I could relate, though. My mom was always shouting at me, and my dad was no different when I lived with him. I just had alot more respect for my parents than Axel did for his dad, that was for sure.
"Yeah, well maybe you should get me some spare keys so you could lock the door when you leave for work, then maybe all of these stray kids wouldn't come in!" He shouted back, even louder. I walked over to the door slowly turning the knob. Maybe no one would notice... "Where the hell do you think you're going?" Axel's dad shouted after me. "Home?" I replied. He smirked slightly, motioning for me to come forward with his index finger. "I like this guy, Ax. He's a funny kid. Thinks he's getting away that easily."
Axel rolled his eyes behind his dad, stuck up his middle fingers on both hands, and pretended to stab him. His dad didn't even notice. "What? What did I do?" I asked, confused out of my mind. I didn't steal anything, I didn't break anything... or at least I thought I didn't. "C'mon. Let's just all calm down and take a trip to the fridge. Then I'll give Rocks over here a pat down, and then we're all done." he told us, acting like it was all nothing. He didn't have to hide the fact he didn't trust me or any other kid in his house. It was pretty obvious.
Axel's dad pushed us into the kitchen, and then walked over to the fridge. He opened
it, studying around carefully inside. He picked up a bottle of Smirnoff, examining it. He picked up the next bottle, studying it the same. He picked up each bottle individually, studying them carefully. This process seemed like forever. I was bored, and decided to sit down on a nearby chair.
"The beer's fine." He reported to us, looking less agitated than before. He was just about to close the refrigerator when... "Oh. My. God." in a dramatic voice, he turned over to us, looking like he was shot in the chest. "The cake. It's... gone." he wailed. He was no better then Axel. They were both dramatic. Axel found this somewhat amusing, and his face twisted into a satisfied. I liked this smile, I thought it showed the cool but calm side of Axel. Though I think it would be kind of weird to have an Axel who didn't smile and make corny jokes.
"So. Demyx was after the cake this time." Axel said aloud, mainly to himself. His dad turned around enraged with the look of death. "Relax. It was a stupid cake. Ick. I never did like chocolate. I'm more of a strawberry person." Axel assured his dad. Apparently, this didn't help. His dad just went into a even deeper rage. "You think I wanna come home after work to this shit! It's bad enough you bring trashy little kids into this house! I'm sick of this. Just... get the hell outta my sight before I bash your head in." he snapped. I could see Axel's dad was trying to keep down his voice, but it didn't really help.
Axel didn't argue back like I expected him to do, he just grabbed my left shirt sleeve and dragged me out of the door. I trudged reluctantly behind, since I was left no choice. I felt all too awkward to say anything to Axel. All I could do was listen to him complain and not say I word. He'd probably stop in a few minutes if I just let him run on.
I was shocked, he was completely silent. He didn't even say a word. Maybe I should say something... "Where are we going to now?" I asked, my mouth getting the better of me. Axel looked at me from the corner of his green eye. He shrugged. "Didn't you wanna go home?" I glared at him, not finding his sarcasm a hoot. "Actually I never want to go home. I just don't wanna get grounded. Not like you care." I whined.
This just made Axel chuckle a bit. "Yeah. Even if you do get grounded, don't think I won't try to sneak in your window." I gulped. Something told me I should've guessed he'd say that. "Now, really. Where are we going now?" I asked, getting impatient. "Uhh, you're house?" he replied, like I was a retard or something.
"I'm not going back to my house knowing that you're wandering the streets. I'm probably just gonna fall asleep." I stated loudly. This made Axel smile.
"No, I don't think you need to worry about me, Roxas. You need to worry about school. Get your spikey butt home, and get your bookbag. I've been preventing you enough." he said. I almost fell over. "Uhh... Axel. Since when did you care about education so much?" Axel felt around his pockets with one hand and a lighter in the other. "After I saw my dad. I realised what a loser he was. I mean, he's a complete screw up."
"He's not a complete loser, he supports you, at least." Axel snorted. "Yeah but to what extent? It's just the two of us. Him and mom are spilt up. The only thing she does is buy me socks. He can't keep a relationship, he had no college education and barely passed high school. He was a super senior, basically. Figured it was best to finish what he started. I think that's the best decision my dad ever made." he explained. I nodded in agreement, now understanding what he meant. "Don't worry, buddy. I don't want you to be a bookworm or anything, I just don't wanna see you end up like my dad. That's all."
After preaching his life story to me afterwards, Axel was back to his old cheerful self. This time, it was different. He was alot more affectionate this time around, and often touched me in some way or another,not going beyond my waist. I would stopped him from reaching there, though. That would've been going too far. It was wierd, since I was - you know - only into girls before. I never experienced anything like this with a guy in my entire life. I was still confused about my sexuality, and Axel had just confused me even more by sucking off my face.
Now that I thought about it, I felt completely different about Axel than guy or chick ever before. I admired Axel physically, I wish I could've had a body like his. His arms were muscular, and is body was well built...
now it was beginning to become a desire instead, as if I wanted him instead of just wishing I was him. It came all too quick for me, though, since I am a very confused person. It's hard for me to sort out what I really feel most of the time, and I usually end up coming to these bizzare conclusions that end up not making the least bit of sense.
As we continued up the main street leading to mine, Axel spotted none other than his friend Saix. "HEY, SAIX!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. His shady friend motioned for us to come forward. I was guessing he was too lazy to come over to us for a change... "You got something for me?" Axel begged, pulling Saix'sblack trench coat sleeve like a cannibal. He brushed Axel off of him, lighting a small pipe with a cigar-like thing attached. I wasn't too good on naming drugs...
"Nah, you gotta pay up this time." he growled at Axel, his meanly arched eyebrows curling lower by the minute. I knew from the start he wasn't the type of guy to mess with... Axel should've been more careful around him. The now disappointed Axel ran up to him from behind, wrapping his arms tightly around Saix's torso like a rope. "Please? For me?" he pleaded putting on a pair of puppy dog eyes. Saix said nothing, but continued puffing on like chimney.
I had to admit, I was a little jealous. How Axel was positioned with Saix made me feel like I was nothing... just kind of like a little toy. Another toy to add in Axel's large collection of... males. "So, who's this little blonde kid that's been taggling behind you." Asked Saix, who completely changed the subject. Idiot. He didn't even realise Axel was the one following me around instead. I didn't want to correct him. He looked like he'd eat me for breakfast.
"He's Roxas. R-O-X-A-S! Got it mem - " Axel was cut off by Saix. "I thought I told you to stop spelling things out like that." he growled darkly. Axel sighed. "Yeah, I know. It's just so addicting since I've been saying it for so long." This just displeased Saix even more. He inhaled and exhaled a large cloud of smoke, his sharp eyes looking downwards, giving off a bad vibe.
"You'd do well to listen to what I tell you." Saix commanded. Still with his arms around Saix, Axel now rocked back and forth. "Don't worry, Roxas is a good kid. And a good kisser." I wanted to slap Axel across the face. He had the biggest mouth ever. Saix's eyebrows raised a little higher, as if to show a bit of satisfaction. "Hmm. You, there." he said to me, motioning me to come forward towards him. I obeyed, but I wasn't very quick to come. Axel released his vine-like grip from Saix.
"Are you mute?" he asked, sounding like I was a criminal. "No." I replied, trying to make my voice sound as straight forward as possible. "Good." he touched my hair with his dark gloved-hands, and tilted my head to the side to examine me. "He's a good find, Axel. He's clean. And fuckable. I was getting a little tired of the little nasty ones you've been bringing me." Axel opened his mouth to speak, but decided not to say anything. Right now I was in a state of shock. Saix was made me out to be similar to something of a slave, and Axel the slave provider. Was... was that Axel's true motive in the first place?
"Axel says you're a good kisser. I think I'll might just have to find out for myself." My heart was beating as fast as the speed of sound, skipping a few beats. It pounded harder and harder as Saix leaned in towards me... Just then, Axel pushed Saix away. "Sorry, but I didn't bring Roxas here for you. This one's for Axel and Axel only."Axel then went behind me and held me from behind like Saix, except from my shoulders down since I was much shorter than Saix was. Saix looked a bit ticked off, but his face showed emotion no different than before.
"Oh." is all Saix said, dropping his pipe and reaching in his coat for another. Axel ignored Saix. Instead, he nibbled my ear gently. I felt really awkward at that moment, and blushed as my heart continued to beat fast. Axel never failed to embarrass me... I squirmed trying to break free, but Axel didn't let go for anything. "Well. Back to business. I'll tell you now, there'll be no more free rides from me. If you want anything, it requires a price. One that doesn't involve money."
Axel was just starting to lick my ear when he stopped and turned his attention toward Saix. "And this price is...?" This made a corner of Saix's mouth twinge into what looked like a small smirk for a millisecond. "Oh I get it." Axel said. "You want to slave drive me like before. I get it." Saix frowned deeply, and slowly shook his head 'no'. "I want a pack of your gumballs." Axel stared wide eyed at Saix, who just stared back with a blank expression. "Either that, or I get to have your little blonde friend taggle along with me instead. The choice is yours."
Axel looked down at me, and back at Saix, acting like it was a difficult decision. He finally sighed aloud, as if he came up with an answer. "Fine one pack of gumballs. Roxas here owes me big time." Saix looked a bit dissapointed, though it was hard to tell. I was getting better at reading his expressions. With any expression, he always had that angry-like blank look on his face. It really creeped me out.
The tough decision between me and the gumballs were understandable. I didn't want Axel to do anything he didn't want to do. "You know, I could go with Saix for a day if it means anything..." I said aloud. Axel bat my head with with one hand. "Woah there! I'm not giving ya up for a small pack of candy - " I interrupted Axel so I could explain what I really meant. "Well you said I owe you big time if you give him the candy. And I don't think I wanna know what that means. I'd probably have to cross dress for you or something..."
Axel snickered loudly in my ear. "I'll tell ya, Roxas. You're a mind reader. Nah, just kidding. I'd just probably make you clean my whole house while wearing a thong. That's worth a pack of gumballs, I'd say." I then started to mumble under my breath, going into a small fit. "Stupid idiot... thong... yeah right..." is all anyone could hear. Axel then put two fingers in my mouth, and stretched the corners of my mouth widely. "Ahhh...!" I shouted, originally tring to say 'ow'. Saix didn't seem to be listening. Instead, he seemed rather annoyed and continued smoking.
"If the kid really wants to exchange himself for your drugs, Axel, I see no problem in it. It'll get you five joints and a dime bag" Axel suddenly fell silent. I knew he was really considering this offer. I didn't feel right about it at all. I felt like I was just a tool of trade. Sadly, I was the one that offered... "If you take Roxas for a day." Axel began, "You can't touch him in any bad way." he restricted to Saix. "If you mean his dick, then consider it off limits to me." Axel didn't seem completely convinced yet. "You can't make him touch yours either. And if he ever comes up to me and says you made him give you head or you've sodomized him, I will personally emasculate you with my bear hands."
Saix looked mildly convinced. "Alright. I'll give you the rest of today to decide. Tomorrow, I expect a pack of candy, or the boy. The candy isn't wroth as much as the kid. Remember that." he then threw his second pipe to the ground, and walked away without saying another word. "Do you really wanna do this, Roxas?" Axel asked, sounding sympathetic in a way. "No. I don't wanna do this at all." I said truthfully. "Then why did you offer?"
I sighed, knowing he'd ask that question. "Because I know gum and drugs are important to you. It's only one day. How bad could it be?" I replied. "It can get pretty bad for you. I'm talking sexual abuse and whips here." I should've guessed Axel would say something like that. "Well, the choice is yours, Axel. If I'm worth a few drugs, then I'll go with him for a day. You told him he couldn't do anything below the waist, so what else cold he do besides kiss me? He's not really that bad looking, you know. Blue hair is actually kind of attractive."
Axel looked a little hurt, obviously taking my joke too seriously. "I was just joking, you know." I told him. "Saix looks like he's 30 or something, it would be weird." Axel's face brightened up a little after I said this. "Actually, he's 19." He informed me. Boy was I way off. "And if you ever did make out with him, make sure you eat a mint or gumball first and afterwards. He smokes so much, his mouth tastes pretty rancid. I'm more of a social smoker and I have random cravings, so it doesn't show up as much in my mouth." I nodded, taking in Axel's advice.
Finally, we started heading over to my house again. Axel went off rambling about random things again, and eventually started talking about his past relationships. "Yeah, I wasn't into guys until the 8th grade. Then, when I was in high school, I started hanging out with Saix's crowd. I introduced you to them before. I used to be obsessed with Marluxia at first. He's the one who gave me all of my 'experience' if you know what I mean. Really, I liked the tall guys. I'm pretty tall myself, so I guess that's why I went for them. Then as I got even taller and more experienced, I went for the shorter guys. It made me feel more in control..."
Axel pretty much rambled on about his past experiences and told me the reasons of why he was so damn horny. "Yeah, when I was into shorter guys, I finally went with Demyx. He was okay, just really annoying. And his cock wasn't even that big. He was always telling me how big he was. Psshh. Show off..." I stayed quiet as Axel said this. He seemed to get a little angry while mentioning Demyx."So Roxas," Axel began, shifting the subject from Demyx. "How big is yours?" I almost tripped when he asked this.
"Um, average?" I replied nervously. Axel snickered. "Oh come on. That doesn't tell me anything." I was stuck. I really didn't know. I guess I'd just have to predict a number. "I'm not small, I can see it at least. Is 6 inches average enough for you?" He shrugged, but didn't make fun of me. That was a relief. "I guess you actually have a life. Some of us measure ourselves, ya know."
I wanted to change the subject so badly right now... "Yeah, I know. I think Sora measures himself. He's hoping it'll get bigger eventually..." I decided to talk about Sora instead. Maybe he'd get humiliated instead of me. "Dead ass? Wow, that's a little obsessive right there. Aren't you guys twins?" he asked. "Yeah, but that doesn't really have anything to do with it... Can we please change the subject?" Out of all the friends I had, most of them talked about thier sizes. It really got annoying after awhile. I found the topic to be important, but for some reason I felt weird talking about it with Axel. Probably because he's a blabber mouth.
"Fine." Axel whined. We were almost to my house, and the sun was starting to go down lower in the sky. "What time do you think it is?" I asked, fear welling up in my throat. "Probably past 6:00. Oh yeah. Your mom." I nodded, glad Axel was finally catching on. "Oh well. Just tell her our 'football' practice was a little late. That's all." Sometimes, Axel was a complete genius. "Okay. So, I'll see you tomorrow?"
We were now on my street. Axel nodded. "Yeah, I'll make sure nothing bad happens for you at school, either." I smiled nervously. "Thanks." Axel then grabbed my shoulders, and pressed his lips lightly against mine. "Hah. Stole a kiss before ya left. Anyways, peace, buddy." I nodded, and then took off toward my house. I hope nobody saw that...
I ran up my the walkway to my house, glad to see that my mom's car wasn't there yet. I took my keys out of my pocket, and opened the door quickly before anyone came home, and slammed the door behind me. I was glad to see that there was no Sora in sight. I ran upstairs, throwing off my shirt. It was really hot in my house for some reason. I think something was in the oven.
I was about to enter my room, when I heard movement in it. I slowly opened the door, and saw Sora and Riku sitting on the edge of my bed... reading? "You have your own room for a reason, you know!" I said loudly, making sure they both heard. Sora turned around and looked at me, a shocked look appearing on his face. Riku frowned. "I'm still unpacking. And I thought you'd still be with that Axel kid right now." Sora replied.
"Who cares if you're still unpacking!" I shouted, getting irritated very quickly. I guess it was because he was my brother. "And you!" I shouted to Riku. "Get out, too. Who knows what the hell you both did while I was gone..." Sora looked a little guilty, but obeyed. Riku rolled his eyes, but followed Sora behind like a hungry German shepard. I still stood by the door, ushering Sora out. "You better watch your back during school." whispered Riku to me. Sora took no notice. "Oh yeah, and nice boxers." he added.
I would've cursed im out, but that would've been more reason to 'watch my back'. I knew him and Sora went through my underwear drawer. I went over to my bed, and looked at the book they were both previously reading. It was the same Princess Tutu book I had in my drawer this morning. But when I came in, they weren't laughing and making jokes about it. Maybe they liked it as much as I did. That would've been hysterical.
A few moments later, I heard the door slam shut. Riku must've left. I ran over to the only window in my room, and saw Riku slinking down the street like he was the shit. I then saw my mom's car rush past Riku, and towards our house. Great. I went down stairs, and into the living room. Sora was watching TV quietly. "Hey." I told him. "Mom's home." he looked over at me, and looked a little fearful. I wasn't going to blab anything to her. Not unless he did first.
We heard the door open and shut, and then a tired mom came into the living room with us. "Ugghh... I HATE my new job..." she complained. "Oh yeah, Roxas." she said weakly. "Your math teacher called me. She said you've been missing class. Is that true?" I was stuck. There was nothing I could do but tell her the truth. "Yeah, I missed today and yesterday. I was at the nurse's office instead." I half-lied. This didn't really seem to make my mom angry.
"Oh, is everything okay?" she asked, a little sympathetically. "Do you need me to take you to the doctor?" I shook my head 'no'. "I just had a few stomach aches. I'm not eating lunch lately..." I replied, feeling a bit smart. "Oh, alright. Make sure you eat lunch, kiddo. I'm worried about you. You're too skinny!" she then poked my arm to inspect it.
"Okay." I promised. Really, from now on I would try to eat lunch at school. "So, Roxas." Sora said. I knew he was going to say something to try to get me in trouble... "How was Axel's house?" I shrugged, like I was trying to play along with it. "It was cool. We played the Sims." Sora looked at my mom, who didn't seem angry at all. I was very surprised. "Mom, Sora was at Axel's house without telling you."
Mom sighed in her chair. "Sora, I don't care... I met Axel, he's a nice kid. Roxas was home before I was, that's all that matters." I really liked when Mom was tired. I think I'm going to put sleeping pills in her coffee sometime. Sora looked a little hurt. "Oh, sorry." he apologized. "Sora... could you set the table? And Roxas, could you take the food out of the oven? I think I might faint if I do anything else..." We both nodded, and set off in the kitchen to get to work.
"You're lucky this time." Sora said quietly to me. "Yeah, you too. I was all ready to tell her about Riku's little visit today." Sora just smiled. "We're so pathetic." he said. I shrugged. "I guess it's because we're twins. Not like we're much alike. The only was we're alike is in revenge." Sora laughed a little, his blue eyes actually becoming friendly towards me. "You're fun to get revenge on." he told me, bluntly. "If it weren't for you, I'd probably take all of this revenge on someone else." I didn't smile, just sort of nodded in understanding. "Well, that's nice to know." Sora was such a weird kid...
Soon, the table was set with food, and my mom practically crawled into the kitchen. She was really tired. We all ate, and told a few jokes. This was different, since we usually ate in silence. Afterwards, I went upstairs and took a shower. It wasn't very long, though, because Sora complained that I was taking too long and using all the hot water. I really did use most of it up, because he also had a short shower. I brushed my teeth, and went back to my room. I packed up my bookbag, making sure there wasnt too many books. Then, I went to sleep. Tomorrow was going be an education-filled day for me. Fun.
