The Prophecy in Preparations
"Mmm…" Axel mumbled attempting to shut out the noise invading his ears, while pulling his pillow closer. He sighed deeply taking in the scent of warm vanilla and some other exotic unnamable scent, smiling slightly to himself.
"Hmm…" Roxas groaned. He hated this song. He buried his face deeper into his pillow attempting to drown out the intruding racket. He breathed in vaguely noticing the strong smell of cinnamon mixed with another mysterious scent he couldn't quite place.
'Wait my pillow doesn't smell like this!' His eyes shot open to reveal equally as shocked emerald ones. It took a second for him to notice the suggestiveness of their position. The fact that the object in his hand was Axels' crotch, and that Axel's own hand were currently taking up the position of violating his ass, seemed to have startled him immensely by arousing him. He could have even sworn he had felt Axel twitch in his still firm grip.
They jumped apart quickly after their minutes daze, scooting as far away from each other as possible without looking to suspicious.
Riku's perfect timing brought both him and Sora back at that precise moment. They took their seats silently Riku smirking at the tangible tension hanging in the air.
"You two okay?" he asked evilly unable to pass up the opportunity at causing more discomfort.
"Yes." They both answered quickly not bothering to look up from their laps that they were so intently staring at.
"Good," He said nonchalantly, looking out the window "because we're there."
Sora perked up instantly looking out the window his eyes widening with amazement. "Wow!" he sighed in awe "It's huge!"
Riku's smirk turned into a grimace as he tried to block out thoughts of Sora saying that in a different context.
Axel who had seemed to regain his composure enough to look up noticed Riku's train of thought and smirked evilly to himself as he decided to take Sora's simple statement a step further.
"Bigger is better." He said smirking.
Riku grimaced further fists clenched.
Sora and Roxas both looked at him questioningly as he smiled further. "It will be easier for us to get around teachers on a larger playing field." He explained receiving a smirk from Roxas who seemed to have finally caught on, a look of worry from Sora, and a death glare from his best friend.
He smiled sheepishly at Riku before turning to Sora. "Still worried we will get caught?" he asked half teasingly.
"It's just so… risky." He explained looking down at his shoelaces.
"Don't worry Sora, If we do get caught, these two here are excellent liars. I'm sure they could come up with some story as to why we're out of bed."
"Yeah," Axel said thoughtfully. "We could tell them all that Sora had heard noises and wanted us to see if there was a monster."
"You know, they might actually buy that." Roxas said smirking.
Sora pouted as the other three broke out laughing only increasing their volume when Sora childishly stuck his tongue out at his twin.
They came to a stop a few minutes later and people grabbed their bags and began filing out of the bus. The four boys joined the crowed as they shuffled out of the bus and into the large hotel.
Even Roxas was unable to hide his awe as they walked into the immaculate lobby.
"Come on we're all on the third floor." Riku told them. He was the only one who was not completely stunned by their surroundings. They followed him into the large stainless steel elevator still looking around with interest.
Once inside he told the elevator boy politely the floor they were on and leaned back against the wooden side casually. Two blue pairs of eyes fell on him stunned and unblinking as he merely shrugged them off not wanting to explain at that moment.
They both silently left him alone after a reassuring glance form Axel as the doors opened.
"Floor three sir's." the elevator boy said politely placing his hand in front of the door to stop it from closing.
They all steeped into a long hallway that was scattered with doors. "305 is our room." Riku informed Sora pointing to the third door on the left.
He nodded to show that he had understood before looking apprehensively at his bother.
Roxas rolled his eyes at his brother before clearing his thought and addressing the red head. "We are in room 359."
Axel nodded as well before turning back to Riku. "Meet back here when we finished?" he asked.
"Sure." Riku agreed.
"Make sure he doesn't get into any trouble while we are gone." He told Sora looking out the corner of his eye at Roxas who smirked at the implied message that had soared over the other two's heads.
"Sure." Sora agreed half heartedly, pulling his shiny plastic key card out of his pocket and sliding it into the slot beneath the handle and walking in.
Riku followed smiling slightly and wondering how on earth he had ended up with such good luck. He was still pondering when he ran into something solid.
"Sora what's the…" he trailed off following the smaller boys gaze. Their room was nice and spacious decorated tastefully in a mixture of pale woods and silvers, but Sora's gaze was fixed on the large king sized bed that sat in the middle of their room. It was large, adorned with a silky black spread and embroidered with silver threads.
"It must have been a mistake." Riku said calmly, although to him the thought of sharing a bed with Sora was a wonderful idea. "I'll just have to call them and tell them there has been a mistake." He said turning to go get the phone.
"No!" Sora said to quickly for his own liking. "I mean we have to hurry so we don't miss dinner and I'm really hungry." He complained rubbing his stomach hoping Riku hadn't noticed his blush.
"Yeah, your right," he said silently thanking the gods, knowing full well that they would be getting back far to late to even think about switching the beds.
"Besides," Sora said innocently, "It's not like we've never shared a bed before."
Riku twitched, they had shared a bed often when they were younger but a year ago when he had hit 17 and his hormones kicked into overdrive the silver haired teen quickly put an end to it.
Riku shook his head and pulled his suitcase to the bed placing it none to gently atop it. Sora followed suit doing so a little more gently before unzipping his duffel bag and riffling through its contents looking for the gods only knew what.
Riku shook his head and unzipped his own and neatly pulled out a folded shirt and pair of kaki pants.
"Found it!" Sora said happily pulling out a sky blue hoodie with black stars adorning it.
Riku chuckled at the brunette's antics while opening a second pouch on his suitcase and pulling out a white studded belt.
He looked up at Sora who was pulling his tee shirt off. Riku clasped a hand to his nose already able to smell the metallic as he watched the brunette pull his shirt over his head his arms crossed above his head. "Sora has anyone told you that you undress like a stripper?" he asked before thinking.
The brunette looked up at his friend his shirt now completely off and blushed turning away from Riku.
"Roxas mentioned it once but I thought he was only joking." He mumbled embarrassedly.
Riku chuckled slightly hand still clamped on his nose. The sound seemed to reassure Sora because he continued changing slowly by unzipping his pants. That did it. Riku could now fell the blood slowly trickling onto his fingers.
He quickly fled to the bathroom clothes in hand shutting the door quickly and attempting to quiet his racing heart. He closed his eyes head leaning against the door attempting to ignore cretin other problems at the moment.
'Damn kid's such a tease, and he has no clue he's doing it.' He shook his head before turning to the clothes he had dropped on the floor and started the task of dressing himself.
Outside Sora's head snapped up at the sound of the bathroom door closing. 'Is Riku okay? Did I offend him or something?'
Worried thoughts quickly flooded his mind 'maybe he thinks I'm some kind of whore or something.' He pulled his clean jeans and tank top quickly, swiftly moving to the door raping shyly on it with two knuckles. "You okay Riku?" he asked quietly.
"Yeah I'm fine… nosebleed." He answered quickly.
"Oh…. Okay." Sora said slightly reassured. 'its probably for the dryness on the bus.' He thought turning back to the bed and grabbing his hoodie and placing it loosely on his shoulders. He walked over to the large plush couch and plopped down waiting patiently for Riku.
A few minutes later Riku walked out of the bathroom. Sora looked up and they both stared at each other.
Riku couldn't help it. The sight of Sora sprawled out on the couch in tight faded jeans and a tight black tank top with his blue hoodie hanging off of his shoulders made him look vulnerable.
Sora's mouth was agape. Riku had on tight kaki pants that showed off his perfection in both the back and the front, riding just low enough for Sora to see an inch of pale perfect skin.
He also wore a snug black button up shirt that showed his tight muscles. The first two buttons were undone so his pale neck was visible. He wore two silver chains one with a detailed heart and the other with and equally as detailed key.
A knock at the door brought them both crashing back down to reality. They both looked away blushing to busy worrying about the fact that they were staring to notice that the other was too.
When the person knocked a second time Riku went over to the door to open it revealing Axel and Roxas. They strode in casually stopping at the foot of the bed, and congratulating themselves on the fact that they could stop themselves from bursting out with laughter.
"Yeah…umm…they kind of messed up our room arrangements." Sora said scratching the back of his head.
"So it would appear." Roxas said even toned and proud of it.
"Your room is bigger than ours." Axel commented looking around. His eyes fell on his best friend who appeared to be somewhere deep in thought. "Time to go?" he asked smiling as Riku snapped out of his daze.
"Yeah." He said grabbing wallet off the bed and sliding it into his back pocket before heading toward the door Sora and Roxas following silently.
They all conjugated in the spacious hotel lobby, among their other students.
"I wonder what's for dinner I'm starved." Sora complained rubbing his stomach for dramatic effect.
"Me to, I hope its Pizza." Axel said with a distant look on his face.
Riku rolled his eyes turning to the other smaller boy "Can you believe these two Roxas?"
Roxas smiled slightly "I kinda got use to it." He explained. "I mean after only the gods know how many years with these two gluttons one tends to block them out."
Sora huffed "You don't listen to me Roxy?" he whined looking hurt.
"Nope, Not usually." He stated bluntly. Riku chuckled and Axel smiled as Sora stuck his tongue out at his twin.
"Hey guys." Came a cheery voice from somewhere in the middle of the crowd. He seemed to be fighting his way towards them, if the people being pushed roughly aside were anything to judge from.
"Hey Demy!" Sora said excitedly waving to the blonde that was fighting his way over to them.
"Hey Sora!" He said panting slightly "How are you guys?" he asked looking at the four.
"Good," Axel said absent mindedly "where's your boy friend?" He searched the crowd looking to see if the boy had been still fighting through the crowd.
"Oh Zexy, he stayed back by Tidus and Marly you know how anti-social he tends to be." He said waving his hand dismissively.
"Shame, I have to remember to thank him." Axel said winking at Roxas who was looking puzzled.
"Oh." The shorter blonde said in sudden realization. "So you and Axel are cousins." Demyx nodded. 'Odd.' Roxas thought 'I've known Demyx since grade school and Axel since before I can remember but I never realized they were related.'
While Roxas was thinking Demyx and Riku cast Axel questioning glances. Axel smiled innocently at Riku before turning to Demyx and mouthing 'tell you later.' Demyx nodded and turned to Sora
"You guys have to sit with us at dinner." He told the brunette smiling happily.
"Wait who's us exactly?" Riku asked cautiously.
"Only you four, Marly, Tidus, Zexy and me," Demyx said smiling at the platinum blonde. "Come on please Riku." He begged.
"Alright then," Riku agreed against his better judgment.
Demyx brightened up immediately "Great I'll go tell the others see you at the restaurant." He said excitedly bouncing back through the crowds.
Riku, Roxas, and Axel shook their heads while Sora waved good-bye this time.
Riku, Sora, Axel and Roxas walked back into their hotel amongst the crowd of students.
"That was fun," Sora said rubbing his stomach. "Although I think I could have done without the three extra pieces I had to eat."
"If you weren't such a klutz you wouldn't have had that problem." Roxas said smirking "Axel Riku and I didn't any problem with it."
They had all gone to Pizza Uno for dinner. It was a nice pizza place with amazing Chicago style Pizza. Naturally all of them had ordered what else but pizza and their table (or rather Sora, Demyx, and Marluxia) decided to play a game with the remaing slices. They had passed each slice around the table on the spatula, and if anyone dropped it they in turn had to eat it. Everyone was fairly good at the game except for Sora who seemed to struggle greatly with his clumsiness.
"I was surprised that even Zexion and Tidus played usually they just sit their." Riku said thinking aloud.
"Well they are extreme suckers for their boyfriends. It's common knowledge that Demyx could get Zexion to streak through the school naked if he wanted." Sora said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"I could picture Tidus doing it he's kinda full of himself but Zexion."
Sora nodded. "He would just walk about as if noting was wrong his nose stuck in one of his books." Roxas said nonchalantly.
The whole group smirked at the image of the cool collected Zexion walking around in absolutely nothing with just a book.
"Well this is our room Sora." Riku said as he began digging in his back pocket for his key card.
"Well then we'll see you tomorrow." Axel said before grabbing the blondes arm and leading him away.
Sora noticed smiling slyly before turning to back to Riku who had gotten the door open.
The walked down the hallway only glancing back at the other two as they heard the door shut.
"Axel, you can let go of my arm." Roxas told him as he turned back around. "That wasn't even necessary you know." He hid his frown as the warmth of Axels hand had left his arm.
"Well I couldn't let you thwart our plan with over protectiveness for your brother now could I?" Axel said casually.
Roxas shook his head "Although it is hard to believe I am the younger, by like five minutes therefore I'm not suppose to be the protective one."
"I guess." He hadn't really known what had compelled him to grab his arm but he felt better when he had. He just shrugged it off taking his own key card out of his own back pocket as they reached the door.
Axel hand redirected Roxas' gaze to fix itself upon the red heads ass. 'For being so skinny he does have a nice ass.' He thought before mentally kicking himself. 'Friend. Just a friend.' He told himself harshly as he walked into the room.
He sighed as the red wall filled his senses. He had the slight feeling that Axel had also made some changes to their own room arrangements while he fixed the others. Roxas walked to his bed before comfortably throwing himself atop it.
"We need a plan for tomorrow." Axel said sitting in the couch that had been placed next to Roxas' bed.
"Aww… but I'm tiered." He complained faking a yawn. Axel raised a thin brow.
"That was so obviously fake." He said smirking.
"Fine what do you suggest Axel?"
"Well I know for a fact that Sora is afraid of sharks." He began.
"He's afraid of a lot of things."
"Well I've been to the Shed's aquarium before. I would be rather easy to lock them in there."
Roxas nodded in understanding. "We could leave them for a bit Riku could do some comforting. I like it."
"Thank you." Axel said kicking back and putting his feet on the black coffee table.
"You think they have a clue what we're up too?" Roxas asked.
"No, Riku would have confronted it. I almost blew it for a sec though telling Dem I needed to thank Zexion."
"Are you going to tell him what we're up to?" Roxas asked.
"Probably, Dem was born a match maker he got Tidus and Marluxia together and they've been going strong for five years now." He said smirking "besides I know Demyx and he's as treacherous as me when it comes to getting people together."
Roxas smirked "Good I have a felling it's going to be harder than I first thought to get these two together."
Axel nodded. 'Especially if I start to grow feelings for my partner in crime,' He thought warily.
