"Oh. My. God. Did that just happen?!" Sora asked Riku incredulously. They had been watching out of the window as Axel drove off. Roxas turned and slowly walked back into the house, his grin visible from the first floor. Riku sat on Sora's bed.

"I think it did. But why? Why would Roxas date AXEL of all people?"

"I don't think he is. But what if Axel is just taking advantage of Roxas, fucking around with his heart and then just dumping him? What if he wants to…" Sora broke off and shook his head, trying to get that disturbing image out of his head. He walked across the room and sat on Riku's lap. Riku slipped his arms around Sora and nuzzled his neck.

"I think we should probably let them get on with it. I was in the Org before, remember? Some of us are alright, we're not all potheads!" He chuckled. "But we should warn Roxas anyway. It's almost like he's my brother too, and I don't want him to get hurt, but he's the sort of person who hates people for interfering. "

"'Kay, we'll talk to him in a bit."

Axel drove home with his mind full of the kiss. Alright, it wasn't a proper kiss, but his lips still touched Roxas. Not where he wanted them to, but the blush on Roxas's face was well worth it. He hummed along to In The End on his CD player and somehow managed to make it home without crashing, even though he wasn't concentrating whatsoever on the road. He went up to his room and went on MSN. Demyx was on and he started chatting to Axel.

SiTARZruLEZ: ax, where u bin?

SiTARZruLEZ: dunno. maybe.

FIrEsTaRtEr: oh thanx

SiTARZruLEZ: ax don't do this. plz

FIrEsTaRtEr: I'm sorry.

SiTARZruLEZ has signed out.

Axel sighed and shut his laptop. He didn't want to lose Demyx, but he didn't want to give Roxas up, now he was so close. Like Demyx said, it would just be another Riku. Riku used to be Number XIII, but Xemnas had kicked him out because Vexen and Marluxia had caught Riku making out with Sora. Riku seemed happy enough now with Sora, but Axel didn't want to give up Demyx and the others in the Org.

It was Sunday, in other words, it meant Demyx coming over for their "study sessions", which They usually spent the time listening to music and looking at porn on Axel's PC. Sure enough, at 12, there was a knock on the door. Axel's mom opened it.

"Axel, Demyx is here!" she yelled.

"Alright, I'm coming!" he yelled back and ran down the stairs. In the doorway stood Demyx. He gave Axel an awkward smile and they both went up to Axel's room. Demyx sat on Axel's bed.

"So, what happened? Between you and Roxas, I mean?" Demyx asked after a long silence. "Did you fuck him?" Axel raised his eyebrows.

"Ha! I wish… I nearly kissed him though!"

Demyx nodded sadly. "So I see what you mean by you've NEARLY got him. Well, when you're hanging out with the nerds, remember your old friends, hm?" It looked he was close to tears. "Anyway, I gotta go, so uh…see ya around…I guess." He got up and headed to the door. Axel grabbed his arm and spun him round to stop him, when suddenly Demyx's lips were on his.
