Chapter 13: You Sneaky Buggers

"Mmm... Rox...?" Axel mumbled, half awake the next morning.

"Mmmmm..?" Roxas replied, also half awake and not exactly wanting to talk nor get out of bed.

"Time?"

Roxas cracked open one bright-yet-groggy blue eye to check out the alarm clock. "10:23... Go back to sleep..."

10... Hmm... 10... That rang a bell didn't it? Wasn't something important and plot changing if Axel didn't realize what it was occur at 10? Which was half an hour ago? Hmm...

Cheer practice?

Breakfast?

Um... Did Kairi want something?

(A/N:God, it's like talking to Dora the Explorer. I bet you're all half shouting at your screens... But lets let him work it out shall we?)

I had laundry to do?

Umm...

Wait.

Holy shit.

(A/N:We have realization folks!)

I was supposed to clean out my drawers!

(A/N:Facepalm.)

A sharp knock at the door roused the sleeping teenagers (even the hungover ones that had seemingly passed out)

"AXEL ROXAS BETTER NOT BE FUCKING IN THERE!"

HOLY SHIT MARLY AND VAN WOKE UP AT 10 OF COURSE!

(A/N: Clap. Clap.)

It was Marluxia outside, and he sounded pissed. Like, he was throwing a complete and utter rage. Van was probably with him, either that or he was asleep in bed but that's beside the point Marluxia right outside and Roxas is wearing Axel's clothes and holy crap!

Everyone sprang up, actually, only Zack, Terra, Axel and Roxas. Sora and the others just sat up, looking around confusedly.

"Shit! I forgot! Quickly! Think of something! Someone distract him!" Axel whispered with his heart rate increasing. Sora sat up, realizing the situation and pulled Roxas over towards his bed. The red head looked at Roxas whose eyes were wide with fear, and he felt like crap. This was exactly what Roxas had been hoping wouldn't happen... If Marly caught them...

"Terra! You go!" Zack half shoved Terra towards the door, and the Leopard cracked the curtain open slightly. Marluxia was standing there, and I shit you not in bunny slippers.

"What do you want?" Terra shouted through the door, opening the curtain a little more but only so Marluxia could see his whole body and nothing in the room.

"WHERE'S ROXAS!?" Marly hit the door with his fist. "I CAN'T FIND HIM I KNOW HE'S FUCKING IN THERE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE!?"

"I sleep here now. Stuff off! He's not here!"

"The FUCK he isn't Terra! Let me in RIGHT NOW!"

Shit shit shit.

"Axel! Get back into bed!" Sora hurriedly whispered, grabbing some sheets off the ground and pulling Roxas into his own bed. The red head looked around anxiously before doing what he was told. Zack hopped back into bed as well and by this time Zex, Dem and Riku were all wide awake. "Everyone sleep!" Sora commanded, and they all tried their best to fake sleep.

Even Axel.

Who was royally freaking out.

Sora then whispered something to Roxas, who nodded, disappearing under the covers.

Terra unlocked the door, hoping like heck that Sora had his shit sorted.

And he did.

Marluxia burst in to find five sleeping teenagers and one receiving a blow job.

Yep... Sora's brilliant plan.

Roxas wasn't actually doing anything to Sora's neither regions, because that wouldn't go down well. Instead he was under the covers, bobbing his head up and down in that kind of action. He was freaking out, with Marluxia in the room his adrenaline had kicked into overdrive.

Sora was playing his part quite well. One of his hands was clutching the head board of his bed whilst the other grabbed at the navy blue duvet cover. His breathing was heavy and his eyes were screwed shut tight.

"Mmhh... Nnghh... Yes!"

Riku had one eye cracked open watching, he was rather enjoying this.

Marluxia stood there open-mouthed staring at the mewling Sora. Then he looked at Axel who looked sound asleep. "We were drinking last night so the others are out cold. Fuck off. I want to go back to sleep. Roxas. Isn't. Here. He said something yesterday about getting an early breakfast. Goodbye." Terra then shoved a spluttering Marluxia out the door, locked it, then shut the curtain. As soon as the curtain was shut everyone leapt out of bed.

Sora stopped his acting and threw the blankets off of Roxas, who was sweating from lack of air and also for one of his worst night mares almost coming true.

"Okay guys, we've got to get Roxas to the cafeteria stat. Someone has to go out and distract Marluxia." Sora ordered, and Demyx threw on some pants and a top, putting the hair net on and the apron and had already unlocked the door by the end of Sora's sentence.

Axel was rubbing Roxas's shoulder comfortingly, because he was freaking the fuck out. "It'll be okay Roxy," he placed a little kiss on the blondes ear, but he didn't stop shaking. It was like he thought Axel was going to disappear before his eyes or something.

"Someone go with Roxas out the window. Run the perimeter of the camp to the cafeteria. It's the safest way." Was Sora's next instruction.

"I'll go." Axel said, rubbing Roxas's shoulder again.

"The hell you will. Zack. You take him, Terra's supposed to be asleep so if he goes Marly will know somethings up." Axel was shut down, and he felt bad knowing that Roxas wasn't okay at this very moment.

"Sure, come on Roxas..." Zack grabbed his arm and just like that Roxas was out of Axel's safe hold. The two literally hit the ground running, and sprinted off to get to the cafeteria as fast as possible.

Axel took a deep breath out, running his fingers through his wild hair and collapsing onto his bed.

"F-Fuck man..." He stuttered, Marluxia fucking ruining his day again.

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o. o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

"Axel, I know you've had a shit morning, but focus or Kairi's going to get mad..." Riku muttered to Axel who had zoned out the 56th time this practice. Riku was hung over as hell, but he had a feeling Axel was feeling worse. The red head hadn't seen Roxas since this morning, and he had been worrying about him constantly for the last three hours of practice.

"Sorry man... I hope he's alright."

"He'll be fine, I bet Zack made sure he got there and it's all good. You'll see him later, stop freaking out." Riku managed to tell his best friend before Kairi made them all gather around her.

"Listen up people! This years the 25th anniversary of Oak Blast, so this year the comps got a theme and we've just been told what it is. I'm slightly pissed because I hate the theme but we'll just have to adapt so we win! Got it!?" Did Kairi have a smile on her face? She never smiles... Is she trying to be... God forbid... Nice?

"The theme is: Singing With A Purpose. Music is the theme. Us cheerleaders actually have to sing at the same time as our cheering. It sucks but I think we can do it. Anyone have any ideas?" She chirped, and the silence that ensued was deafening.

"Okay... Not quite the response I was looking for! But you can all go now and think about what we should do, it's got to be like four minutes... I'm sure we'll do great!" After the little speech everyone got up and exited like zombies. Kairi had a strange habit of working them until they wanted to collapse. And NOW they had to think up a musical-cheerleading routine.

Yay.

Sounds... Fun?

Riku and Axel exited the gym, their shoulders drooped and their t-shirts wet with sweat. They made their way across the green, not saying anything because they were rather exhausted.

It had been quite the ol' physical and mentally hurtful day and it sucked. When they got back to the Cabin they found a Zexion stretched out on his bed reading a book. The only normal thing they'd seen all day.

"Hey guys, how was practice?" Zex asked, not looking up from him bed. He received two groans. "Forget I asked..."

"Ax, I say we sleep it off. Have a nap, clear your head..." Riku flopped down onto his own bed, pulling the covers over himself in his hung-over state.

Demyx, Sora and Zack must be at practice... That would be the only thing that would get Dem and Sor out of bed in their hung-overness. Riku secretly hoped they were feeling as miserable as he was. Throbbing head. Groggy eyes. Ouchy muscles.

Heh, I hope they're suffering.

Axel however, was suffering. Horribly. He went and sat down on the end of his bed, staring out the window and into the Leopards Cabin. He wished Roxas was there... That he would look at him from his bed like he always did...

He had to distract himself.

Getting up, the red head wrote a small note on a piece of paper and pocketed it before leaving the Cabin. When he made his way outside, he picked his shoulders up and walked with his normal attitude and personality.

He was going to find Xaldin.

He wasn't the kind of guy to back out of a bet, and he wanted to win. He wasn't exactly sure what he would win yet, bragging rights probably... He'd have to discus it with the group later. But winning was on his mind now, and he just hoped like heck that he would get to see Roxas soon.

Axel walked all the way to the head office building, figuring Xally might have an office and be easy to find. When he got inside he noted that the place smelt like it had last year... Like coffee and an unidentifiable vegetable.

Last year...

Man o man... He had not been in here for a good reason last year...

Axel's hand goes up to his nose... It had been bleeding, he had been holding it to stop the flow... It had hurt. But it hadn't just hurt there, his heart and mind hurt a lot too. That day he had thought Roxas didn't love him... He'd had his heart broken, and surprisingly not his nose.

He didn't realize he had been lingering in the door way, so he went all the way inside and started walking down the long corridor with doors lining the walls. He looked over every plaque on every door, until he found Xaldin's at the very end. He knocked on the wooden door, hearing a shuffling come from inside.

"Yes?" The door opened and Axel was face to face with a huge guy and many many dread locks. "Axel. Come in."

Do I WANT to fucking go in there!? It's his LAIR.

Axel manned up and walked in, it was surprisingly tidier than he thought it would be. And there was an actual desk, and no animal bones were on the floor. It was weird... Was Xaldin NORMAL?

"What do you want?" The counsellor asked, leaning back to sit on his desk.

"I was.. Ah... Wondering-" How the hell is he going to ASK HIM?

"You want me to seduce that pink haired shemale."

Axel stared at him in disbelief. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?

Xaldin smacked his forehead with the palm of his hand. "I don't stalk you. Tidus told me, he heard you talking about it. He's in the team I couch. Nice boy, not talkative, but nice."

Holy crap I almost swallowed my tongue. Before Axel had heard the explanation he had been picturing Xaldin hiding up in the trees and all over the place... His eyes watching in the dark...

"I'll do it, but only because he insulted my hair and I want to get him back. Now get out of here before I change my mind." He was smiling by the end of it, and watched in amusement as Axel actually bowed in fear before tripping up then leaving the room.

I can't believe that fucking worked! Yes! Now I just have to wait and snap a picture of Xaldin pulling the moves on Marlux- I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Axel banished the thought from his mind, and focused on putting one foot in front of the other without being sick. Yep. They aren't going to hook up. It's alright. Don't picture it.

When he got out of the building he stumbled a bit, then picked himself back up. He started walking again, but then a flash of blonde caught his eye and his heart started to race.

Roxas...

It was the blonde, he was walking with a group of Leopards down the alley way towards the field. Perfect.

Roxas looked alright, at least he wasn't shaking or anything now, but he certainly wasn't laughing like Axel had grown so used to seeing. He was walking beside Terra, and they were making light conversation. The red head steered himself in their direction, clutching the note in his pocket like a vice. Roxas's face lit up when he saw Axel, but he had to pretend to be really into his conversation with Terra.

Axel looked at the ground purposefully so Marluxia wouldn't know he was up to anything. Come to think of it, Marly didn't even freaking notice him there. Blind much? Bright red hair? Axel went to pass them and walk in the opposite direction, and since Roxas was at the back it was slightly easier to brush shoulders with him and take the note and jam it into his hand. Then he kept walking as though nothing had happened, and Roxas did the same, Terra was the only one that noticed anything had happened.

The red head walked right around the building, then right back across the field, watching Roxas and his team stretch before they started. Making sure no one was looking, he caught Roxas's eye and smiled warmly at him. The Leopard's heart went thud thud. He was still holding on to the note, the note from Axel. He waited until the red head disappeared from his view to read it, and when he did, he felt a lot better again.

I Love You ❤

o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o. o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o

Later that night, Axel lay awake in his bed staring at the ceiling. Man he missed Roxas... Why couldn't he just sleep in here all the time? But then again, they did not need a repeat of this morning. No sir.

It was around eleven O'clock, and as far as Axel could tell, everyone was asleep. It was pitch black, they'd shut all the curtains to keep the moon out, so nothing but red alarm clock numbers could be seen in the room. It was around 11 at night, Axel kept checking every five minutes because he couldn't sleep... It just wasn't the same...

On the other side of the room, Sora decided that since he had crawled into his own bed this afternoon when he got back from practice because Riku had been fast asleep- That he might just try and sneak into Riku's bed and do you-know-what.

He got up out of bed.

Now Terra, being on the floor and all now had his own little mattress he had nabbed today and his own bedding. He was rather determined to go and wake Zack up so maybe they could go out and have a chat/possibly make out...

He got up out of bed.

Demyx was clutching his pillow for warmth, and figured that since Zexion had collapsed this afternoon whilst reading a book (he'd come back from practice to find him napping and he didn't want to disturb his at the time) he wouldn't mind if he scootched in next to him.

He got up out of bed...

(I think you know where this is going.)

RIKU was slightly groggy, but the only thing he could think at the moment was Sora, Sora, who wasn't in his bed with him. He had to go and sleep in Sora's bed.

He got up out of bed.

Zexion was cold as well without Demyx, and he quite liked getting cuddles at night and was rather sad that Demyx hadn't crept in next to him.

He got up out of bed too.

Now we've got five teenagers groping around in the dark attempting to get to each other's beds, and you should have heard Demyx's yelp when his hand camp into contact with Riku's shoulder. Loud enough to wake the whole fucking camp up.

"Who the fuck is that!?" Riku all but shouted, causing all the others to jump fifty feet in the air. A hand came up and whacked Sora in the nose, and Zexion was rather frightened, ducking down when the arms started flying. Zack being the only one that was actually asleep, did a sensible thing and turned his bed side lamp on.

He and Axel sat staring at all there friends who were gathered in the middle of the room. Sora rubbing his nose, and all of them looking like they'd seen a ghost.

"You all tried to get to each others beds. Didn't you?" Axel asked with his eyebrow raised.

"Pfffft! No, I just wanted a hoodie-"

"Some fresh air-"

"A glass of water-"

"An extra pillow-"

"Um...Stretching my legs-"

Axel rolled his eyes. "Uh huh. Uh huh. Sure."

My favorite was 'Pfft- No! I just wanted a hoodie-" hehehehehe, sure, sure, we believe you all. Caught in the act!

What'd you think of this chapter? It was fun to write, I figured I wanted Xaldin to be rather unusually normal, thus the clean office lol

Thanks for reading! Much more to come after this! Love you guys!
