YAY!!!!! I got my first review! That's extremely exciting for me.
Chapter three
Living with Demyx might be one of the oddest things that'll ever happen to you. Well, at least Roxas thought so.
Demyx got up at the crack of dawn and attempted, key word attempted, to make chocolate chip pancakes. Which resulted in the fire alarm going off at five in the morning, making Zexion and Cloud throw a fit. Sora, however, slept through the whole thing.
Unable to get to sleep after that, Roxas situated himself on the couch, trying one of the burnt pancakes.
'Gross...' With the extra two hours till he had to get ready, Roxas went over his situation with Riku in his head.
How do you just magically get some potion? And why doesn't Riku ever try anything to get his attention? Being the sex god would make it so Riku has all the confidence in the world...but maybe that was just a rumor after all.
"Don't think yourself to death."
"Huh?" Roxas jumped at the voice.
Zexion shook his head. "Should've warned you guys about Demyx's obsession in 'trying' to cook."
Roxas chuckled.
"So, who's Leon?" Zexion asked.
"Cloud's boyfriend. He went missing a couple weeks ago. Sora thinks he's on a business trip and Cloud wishes he could believe that." Roxas explained.
"Ah. Do you guys have parents...or?"
"Hehehe. Our parents...well Cloud's dad, no one's even met him. But mine and Sora's is in rehab. We visit him on Christmas and Thanksgiving. Mom's in prison for stealing lesbian tapes...turns out, she's in the films." Roxas shuddered at the last part.
Zexion raised an eyebrow. "Creepy."
"Yup!" Roxas smiled. "What about you and Demyx?"
"Disowned by our parents when we got together." Zexion said nonchalantly.
"Hm...a house full of flaming homos. Fun, fun, fun...great now I'm sounding like Axel." Roxas sighed.
"Your boyfriend?"
"S-sorta...he was in a car crash last month and he kinda...forgot me."
"I'm sorry..."
"Roxie!!!!!" an all-too-hyper voice screamed.
"Hello Yuffie." Roxas said without turning to see her.
Yuffie grinned. "Who's this?"
"Zexion. He and Demyx are renting our extra room." Roxas said.
Zexion nodded.
"YAY!!!! MORE YAOI!!!!" Yuffie nearly screamed, earning her a yell of 'SHUT UP!' from Cloud who was mourning over his ruined stove.
"So, me and Tifa came to visit Cloud and Squally." Yuffie said.
"Then where's Tifa?" Roxas smirked.
"She's right he-where is she?" Yuffie was dumfounded that her brunette friend wasn't with her.
Roxas snickered.
"Wha'd I miss?" Sora asked, referring to Cloud's mourning.
"Demyx tried making pancakes. He failed." Roxas put simply.
"And Cloud didn't kill him?" Sora asked, shocked.
"Naw, just a warning...or more like a breaking of eardrums." Roxas said.
"You could never break Demy's eardrums. Just listen to him sing...I only heard it when he was drunk but..." Zexion shuddered.
The twins laughed.
"It's seven-forty, guys, aren't you gonna be late?" Tifa finally showed up.
Roxas, Sora, and Zexion scrambled to there feet and ran to get ready, Demyx was sleeping again so Zexion got him up.
"Record time." Cloud said, holding a stop watch.
"Bye Cloud!" the twins chorused. The four now sugar-highed (due to Cloud refusing to make breakfast, they had eaten the remaining chocolate chips) teenagers ran to school.
"You're late again, spikey." their teacher, Barret, said.
"Who are you referring to? Me, Sora or our imaginary friend that we share with telepathy?" Roxas asked.
Sora giggled and took his seat. Barret was contemplating that.
"U-uh. Anyway, we have new kids. Emo and Spikey 4." Barret decided their nick-names and they took their seats. "Now, get to work, the lot of ya!"
"It's still homeroom, baka." Hayner, a sophomore with too much attitude, pointed out.
"U-uh...right." I'm not sure if he was blushing...but hey, maybe he can't.
"So, where's your over-protective boyfriends, Spikey?" Kadaj, a senior who's out to get their entire family, asked, referring to both the twins.
"Oh, we got new ones. Meet Zexion and Demyx." Roxas said.
Demyx waved excitedly, while Zexion rolled his eyes and doodled on his binder.
Kadaj's eye twitched. "I thought you would give my brother a chance before getting a new boyfriend, Roxie."
Roxas only glared and was glad the bell had rung for first period.
Roxas had forgotten that Kadaj, along with Yazoo and Loz, were Riku's brothers.
---
The day seemed rather uneventful in Roxas' opinion. He didn't see Riku either, which was odd because he had two classes with him.
'Coward.' That's the only word that described him to Roxas. Either that or he's sick...but this is Roxas we're talking about. He thinks of things in the worst case scenario.
Sora had gone to Tidus' and Cloud went searching for Leon with Yuffie and Tifa. Not wanting to go home, Roxas went to the beach.
"You're the only person I know who'd be at the beach in December." He'd only been there a few minutes when he heard that.
"Olette..." Roxas greeted, nodding his head slightly.
Olette's face softened a bit. "I've been to see him. They said he can get out by the end of the month."
"Doesn't help my case." Roxas said.
Olette sighed and sat next to him. "Did Riku finally tell you?"
"How'd you guess."
"He wasn't here today. Only Riku would run from something like this. He did with Sora and now you." Olette said. "Hey, how did he get Sora to forget him?"
"Memory potion." Roxas said.
"Memory potion? From where?" Olette found it absurd to speak of potions at all. She'd tried making a love potion for Roxas when they were freshman, she lost her faith in them ever since.
Roxas only shrugged. "I was gonna ask him the same thing...but he wasn't there. Maybe I'll go to his house later. Then he can't run."
Olette nodded.
"Rumor is: you and Pence are going out."
Olette blushed.
"Ah, it blushes." Roxas smiled.
"It smiles." Olette countered, bursting into giggles afterwards.
---
"Where else could he be?" Cloud asked, nearly crying.
"Relax, Cloud. He could've...oh...I don't know. Any ideas, Tif?" Yuffie asked.
"...give his phone." Tifa said.
Cloud handed her Leon's phone and watched in great fascination as she called Cloud's number. After a couple rings, someone answered.
"Hello?" a voice asked.
"Um, hello. I'm curious to know how you got Cloud's phone." Tifa said, politely.
"Um...Leon had it. He might've grabbed it by mistake. I-is Cloud there with you?"
"Yep." Tifa said.
"Okay, don't tell him but Leon's in Radiant Garden. Ma and a couple other guys are helping him fix up a motorcycle for Cloud. It's a Christmas gift."
"Okay, but first. Who are you?" Tifa asked.
"The name's Zack. Seifer and Cid are helping me and Leon fix the thing." Zack said.
"Ah, I remember you. Can I talk with him please?"
"Yea hang on. Leon! Phone!" Zack shouted.
"Hello?"
"Hiya, listen Cloud's really worried about you. He's been going crazy. Oh, and he's also having a fit because the kids renting the extra room killed his stove." Tifa giggled.
"You found him?" Cloud asked.
Tifa nodded.
"Cloud wants to talk to you...um beware." Tifa handed the phone to Cloud.
"Leon? Where have you been?" Cloud was, surprisingly, not flipping out.
"Sorry, Cloud. I left a note saying I'd be gone cuz only Sora was home and...I don't trust him..." Leon explained, expecting Cloud to start yelling any second.
"Okay, at least your safe. I nearly had a heart attack. When are you coming back?" Cloud asked.
"Mm...by Saturday so...I'll only be like three days more, okay?"
"Ya, come back safe. Love you."
"Love you too. Bye."
Cloud flipped the phone close and let out a sigh of relief.
"Can we go home now? I'm starving!" Yuffie complained.
"(Fake gasp) It eats. I would've never guessed." Cloud teased.
"Ew, you sound like Roxas." Yuffie made a face. "Let's go!"
The three made it back to Cloud's house.
Roxas was sleeping on the couch and Sora was out so it was quiet for a second before Zexion ran downstairs covering his ears. "The bad singing. It's back!" he looked absolutely mortified.
Yuffie giggled. "Mine's worse."
"Least you can admit it..." Zexion mumbled.
Silence...
"So how's life?" Zexion asked.
"Cloud's okay again cuz he's boyfriend didn't disappear off the face of the planet after all." Yuffie said, cheerfully.
"Oh, when can I meet him?" Zexion asked.
"Saturday, prolly. Maybe earlier." Cloud said, entering the kitchen.
"Sweet. Want me to wake Sleepy Beauty?" Zexion asked.
"Unless you want to face the wrath of Roxas I wouldn't suggest it." Tifa said. Yuffie nodded vigorously, in agreement.
", then. I'm gonna go hide from Demyx. Love him but I can't stand his awful singing." Zexion said, walking off to hide somewhere.

Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" Riku answered.
"You're a bloody coward you know that?" Olette's accusing voice said.
"We've reached this epiphany before. What's I do this time?" Riku asked.
"You gave Sora a memory potion? Where the hell'd you get a memory potion from?"
"Merlin." Riku said.
"Merlin? The creepy old wizard Merlin...or am I missing something?" Olette asked.
"Yup. It was Axel's idea though. But he claimed it was Reno's. But hey, Reno's been trying to get me and Rox together since...forever, so I guess I believe him on that."
"Why didn't you tell Roxas this? Why do you keep running?" Olette asked.
"Isn't that what I'm good at?" Riku asked.
Olette sighed. "You ditching school tomorrow, too? Or will you face your fears?"
"I shall be brave, captain. I have faith." Riku put his hand over his heart.
Olette laugh. "Good, see ya then."
"Bye." After hanging up he added. "I hope I can live through this…"
