Axel pulled himself away immediately. "WHAT THE FUCK DEMYX?!" Demyx looked almost as shocked as Axel.

"Shit… I am so sorry, I don't know why the hell I just did that."

"I WAS HOPING MY FIRST KISS WOULD BE ROXAS!"

Demyx's eyes widened. "You mean…that was your first kiss?"

"YES IT FUCKING WAS!"

"SHUT UP!" Axel's mom yelled from downstairs. Axel took a deep breath and calmed down.

"God, I can't wait to move out next year. Sorry for shouting Dem. But what the hell? Why did you do that?"

Demyx looked sheepish. In a second Axel understood. Demyx had liked him all along. It all made sense. When Axel first told him about Roxas, he had laughed, thinking it was never gonna happen. It was only after Demyx thought Axel might actually have a shot with Roxas that he started being distant.

"Dem? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Demyx sighed and swallowed heavily. "I was going to, but I didn't know how to. Then you started on Roxas and I knew there was no point." He looked so heartbroken, Axel felt guilty.

"Seeing as you've already taken my first kiss, I suppose I can spare you another one." It was the only way he could think of to cheer the mullet boy up and he had to admit, he kinda liked the first kiss. Said boy looked at Axel confused and Axel quickly grabbed him and attached their lips together. Demyx closed his eyes and tangled his fingers into Axel's fiery red hair. Shit thought Axel. Fuck, crap, damn, shit. Why am I kissing Demyx? Is it because I feel sorry for him? Or is because I'm such a lowlife that I'll kiss anyone just for the hell of it? A sudden image of Roxas's face whipped through Axel's mind and Axel pushed Demyx off of him. Demyx staggered backwards a couple of steps and then stopped.

"Demyx…"

"I have to, uh, go now. So, uh, yeah. Bye."

Axel stood and watched as Demyx ran out of his room and out the house. He didn't say anything to him. He didn't know what to say.

3:21. Three hours since that kiss. Axel hadn't been able to stop the video of it playing over and over in his head. He still didn't understand why he had kissed Demyx when Roxas was the one he really liked. Roxas. Roxas.

"Roxas." Axel said out loud to himself as he selected Roxas's name on his mobile and pressed CALL. Roxas answered straight away as if he had been waiting for a call.

"Hey Axel!" Talk about eager!

"Hi Rox. What you up to?"

"Oh just doing…math homework."

"Fun."

"Yeah."

There was a silence as Axel wondered how to phrase what he wanted to say. Which was, basically to ask him out.

"You doing anything after school tomorrow?" Casual, yet curious.

There was a muffled noise and Axel heard Sora's voice in the background.

"Is that Axel?"

"Yeah it is. Why?" asked Roxas.

Sora grabbed the phone off Roxas and said into it: "He'll call you back."

"Uh… ok?" said Axel as the line went dead.

"What the fuck are you doing Roxas?!" Sora yelled at him with the phone in his hand.

"What? Axel phoned me, why'd you do that?"

Riku came into the room and looked at Sora, shocked.

"Sora, stop." He turned to Roxas. "We think it would be best for everyone if you had as little contact with Axel as possible. Or..." His gaze shifted from Roxas to the floor. "Or anyone in Organization XIII for that matter."

Roxas looked from Riku to Sora, his mouth hanging open in disbelief. Neither made eye contact with him.

"What? You're telling me to avoid the Org, yet you're going out with Riku?"

"Riku's…different."

Roxas raised his eyebrows. "Sure he is. Phone." He held out his hand.

Sora sighed and gave him the phone back. "Don't say we didn't warn you." He and Riku left the room. Roxas checked they were gone before calling Axel back. Axel answered immediately.

"Roxas?"

"Hey. Sorry about that, Sora was just telling me how I shouldn't be associating with you or the Org. Yet he's going out with Riku, the hypocrite." They both laughed.

"So as I was saying, you free tomorrow after school?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to go see Dragonball Evolution. We could make the 5:00 showing and I would drive you home. If that's okay with your brother, that is!"

"Dragonball? Yeah I wanted to see that! So, how 'bout you pick me up at 4:30 tomorrow from my house?"

"It's a date."
