Axel and Roxas walked back into the castle. "We should check up on Demyx," Roxas said in worry.

The red head agreed and followed his blonde comrade to Demyx's room. They knocked and the door opened on its own. On the bed was Demyx, asleep in his boxers, snuggling next to a cloaked Luxord. The younger male's cheeks looked flushed, as if he were hot. Luxord shot them a death glare and the two immediately walked away.

As soon as the two were away they began laughing.

"Luxord and Demyx? Really together now?" Axel chuckled.

"In the same bed!" Roxas sniggered as the two kept walking down the hall.

"I wouldn't rely on Demmy to help out an more. He's to in love."

Roxas stopped laughing. "What if we fell in love? Could we still make Xemnas pay for not getting us our hearts back after a year?"

Axel reddened and scratched the back of his head. "Sure thing, Roxas. We'll always be together in that goal, I promise."

Roxas smiled and began walking again. "What do you think about it? Can we really love though? I mean, Demyx told me-"

"Forget what he told you. He's listening to Luxord now. It's just you and me."

Roxas stopped and faced Axel. "He's not getting kicked out of our trio just cause he has more of a heart than you!"

Roxas stormed off down the corridor, not paying attention to where he was going. He just growled and marched looking down. He walked straight into someone. Looking up, he took a step back.

"Xemnas?" he said in shock, taking yet another step back.

The pompous, silver haired man frowned. "Number XIII, what do you want?"

"Err… Nothing, your superior-ness!"

Roxas then got an idea. A stupid idea, but an idea none the less. He grinned and kicked Xemnas in the shin then ran down the corridor laughing. Not the best idea the runt of the organization… but it could have been worse. It could have been the leader's crotch.


Axel moped down the hallway. He couldn't believe that he had just had a fight with Roxas. The only member he had the slightest feelings for other than Demyx. "Demyx!"

Axel ran to Demyx's room and saw that this time he was alone. Luxord had left the sleeping man alone. He tiptoed into the room and over to Demyx's bed, the man was now partially awake. The red haired male knelt onto the bed and bent over the blonde.

"Demyx?"

"Hn?" He cocked his head on his pillow and looked up. "Axel? Where's Luxxy?"

"He left you."

"What? Why?"

Axel shrugged. "Guess he can't see what he's passing up."

Demyx smiled and closed his eyes. "I miss having someone to cuddle with like that…"

"I can cuddle."

His eyes widened. "Axel? What… what are you talking about?"

"Hey, Number IIX, get your ass out of his bed."

Axel shot upright and fell backwards next to Demyx who just smiled at the older man.

"What the hell are you doing back here? I thought you left him!"

Luxord cracked his knuckles and glared at Axel. "I said get out."

Demyx giggled like a little girl. "My, my… I got such a manly man by my side."

Luxord turned away, trying to hide his embarrassment as Axel slipped by him and out the door. The older blonde turned to face Axel slouching away before facing Demyx again.

Demyx was already sitting up and smiling at Luxord. "Come on, Luxxy, ignore him. He's just iffy, I bet he had a fight with Roxas is all. He always comes to me when he does and acts like that."

Luxord advanced to the bed and was dragged down by Demyx.

"Now lie still and go to sleep."


Axel, rejected by his only two friends, stormed out of the castle and into the rainy night. He growled on his way. "Stupid Roxas. Stupid Demyx. Stupid Luxord. Stupid everyone!" he said, letting the tears fall. He had never felt so alone.
