48.
Saturday
It wasn't that far of a drive, maybe fifteen-twenty minutes by car, taking the highway. It was definitely closer to the school, meaning there was no longer a need to take a school bus in the morning –a seemly pro in his mental list.
However, it didn't make the convenience-aspect of their new location completely out of the woods. The practical approach to travel was to drive along the base and height of the triangle, in this case, the main roads. There was no probable hypotenuse from their house to the school, merely a snake through several parks and communities and outgrowth patches that were only accessible by foot. That would mean a lengthier time of travel.
Not to mention that now Axel's house was past the school from them now.
As the car turned into the driveway and Roxas fully took in the sight of that monster house, he knew: pros and cons irrelevant, everything was different.
After his room was mostly put together, his desk set up, his closet organized and his bed made and all ready to go and be lived in, Roxas already felt sick of the environment and called Axel. The redhead was just coming out of basketball practice when he did, so it wasn't long before he found the house. A brief tour of the property and showing of his room, and they left and drove around, parked somewhere secluded, had sex in the back seat of the car twice, then randomly decided to go to some cafe they found.
Even after some really good sex, Roxas couldn't keep himself from leaning over to the driver side of the car and reclaiming Axel's lips, all the while thinking: I'm kissing him. He's mine right now. No one else is kissing him but me. It was so stupid and selfish to repeat, but it kept him from the itching bother by thoughts of being replaced by fucking Ventus; and shit Tidus fed him; and having to leave Leon all a long in that fucking old house of theirs that they've been in since infancy; and jealousy over what Riku had with his life. –Just that one thought, kept him grounded and sane for the moment. And he couldn't stop or let go of the face tightly pressed against his, making him feel so good and so alive.
"Gosh, Roxy, we just did it half an hour ago," he chuckled and so did Roxas.
"Well then tell your fingers to stop flirting with my skin, Ax." The seventeen-year-old's neck was covered in half kisses-half flirty smirks, and Axel couldn't easily let go of the breath he'd been holding.
"Mmmfuck..."
"You know, I think this is where they filmed Domyouji's house in the live action of Hana Yori Dango." Sora opened up another door that led to yet another room. "Yup, this is definitely the place."
"I feel like an orchestra should be playing as I walk through the doors or something." Sora laughed at Riku checking out the walls and original plaster mouldings overhead. "Pretty classy."
It was one o'clock on a Saturday morning and the adults had gone to work overtime and wouldn't be back for at least another hour if not two, before coming back and finishing off some of the unloading in the common areas and their bedroom. So the kids were left to do as they pleased to get themselves acquainted on their own.
Roxas gave up and left with Axel half an hour ago.
So Sora and Riku were home... alone, and would come to realize this very soon.
They sat inside the cafe, near the back at a small, two-seater table, Axel sipping a coffee and Roxas picking at a piece of red velvet cake with that heavenly cream cheese icing on top. Roxas finished another run-on sentence.
"-So yeah, everything is so fucked right now." He looked up at Axel, leaning against his hand, gently smiling at him. "Okay, sorry. Rant over. Let's talk about you, how are you, babe?" He took another bite of his cake.
Axel chuckled. "Still kinda shaky from this morning," he winked and Roxas blushed lightly. Sex just made everyone in a good mood.
"Saix crashed at my place last night. Xemnas had 'business' somewhere in Scarborough so he came by to chill and we just crashed on my couch. They're doing good."
And even now, Roxas couldn't shake the excited feeling he got whenever they were alone together. It just never went away. He couldn't stop the small grin around his fork, half-listening to what the redhead was saying.
"So I was thinking it's good if we see other people."
Roxas looked up with big blue eyes. "Oh?" he said, casually.
"Yeah. I mean, I like you, a lot," Roxas maintained his smile at that. Axel was so smooth and so easy with the words it was hard not to go along with it. "But you know, I think it'd be better for both of us if we just kept seeing each other, no strings attached." Kept seeing other people? Roxas thought, 'kept' as in...
"Yeah! Totally. I feel the same way," he said. "I mean, I was wracking my brain for when I'd come talk to you about that too." Roxas laughed and it wasn't at all obvious that was so completely fake.
"Cool," Axel nodded and grinned with relief. "Well then. I really had nothing to worry about, right?"
"Right." Roxas didn't drop his smile one bit, even when Axel leaned over the table and pecked him on the lips.
What just happened?
"Oh, God! Riku!" Sora threw his head back and arched off his bed.
They had to christen it sometime.
"Unghh, Sora..." Riku groaned, crouching over him, his back bare and sweaty, his jeans riding somewhere near his shins. Why do I still always feel like I'm melting? He gripped Sora's hips tightly and pushed back in all the way. It was never going to change no matter how many times they did it.
"Ahhhh...Riku. Riku?" he struggled for breath. It was so easy and just so sweet to scream your heart out when you knew no one was home. And God, how excellently these bigger rooms did to promote sound. He grunted as he tried to sit up. "But.. nghhh! -shouldn't we be unpacking?"
"I am unpacking."
"Oh my God!" Sora yelled. "Riku! Man, what the hell-."
