-3: Loser kisses Axel-
Bright morning rays of sunlight peered through the drawn curtains and bought Roxas from his sleep. With a low groan he sat up in his bed and glanced over to the sleeping form of Sora on the opposite side of the room. Oh yeah, that's right. After they arrived home the brunette had pranced from one bed to the other and bounced over the floor spacing between, the sugar still coursing it's way though his veins. Much to Roxas' annoyance, Sora hadn't calmed down for hours and as expected he hadn't got to sleep until late. Very late. The brunette had questioned him on many things during the night, mostly about the affect the red-head Axel appeared to have on him and if it were possible to milk an ostrich. The first question was answered with a prompt 'shut the hell up' and the second...well Roxas didn't want to think about why his friend had even thought of that.
The clock on the table by the side of his bed blinked nine-forty five, fifteen minutes before his alarm was set to go off. A malicious smirk took the blonds lips as a plan formed in his head. He picked up the clock as he got out of bed and made his way across the room to stand by his friend's bed. Roxas placed the time-telling device on the pillow at the side of the brunette's head and disappeared into the bathroom hoping the shower would wake him up. Demyx would be here at eleven.
BLEEPBLEEPBLEEPBLEEP-
"BWAHH! NO! DON'T HURT ME I HAVE A WIFE AND...oh..." Sora glanced down at the clock at his side as he sat upright in bed. Roxas' clock. He frowned and scanned the room for his friend. "Roxas?" No reply.
The brunette pushed out of bed and took another look at the clock. Ten. An hour before Demyx would be dragging them out to the mall. Sora stomped into the bathroom to run into Roxas who had just finished tying a towel about his waist.
"You.."
"Me..?" Roxas grinned and rested his hands on his hips. Apparently Sora had fallen asleep in his boxers last night after the sugar rush.
"Yeah YOU! That was mean Rox!"
The blond raised an eyebrow with a vague look of thought that changed to confusion, pretending he hadn't the faintest idea of what his friend was talking about. Sora didn't buy it. He lunged out at Roxas who jumped out of the way and darted out of the bathroom door with the brunette close behind only to be pounced on and brought to the floor with the full force of Sora.
"Whoa, I had Rox down as being the dominant one!" Demyx peered around the side of the door with a grin. Both boys looked up from their position on the floor, Roxas in his towel gazing up past the brunette on top of him who was still in naught but his boxers. A moment of recognition passed before Sora jumped to his feet with flush features and held out a hand to this friend who took it and pulled himself up to his feet.
"I'm not gay Demyx; you just have a habit of coming in at the wrong time..And I thought I locked the door!" Sora said sheepishly as he tried to hide his blush.
"It's barely past ten, what're you doing here?" Roxas adjusted his towel and glanced over to the taller blond in the doorway.
"Just a wake up call, but looks to me like you're both up already." And with that he disappeared and let the door close as he left.
The brunette glanced to the blond who looked back. Another moment passed before Sora bolted into the bathroom and locked the door behind him before Roxas could chase him in. Victory! The shower was his.

Demyx hung out of the back window of Axel's car and waved in greeting to his two new friends who were heading in his direction. Zexion and Axel were sat up front waiting patiently and having a random conversation about music as the two approached and got in next to Demyx. Sora sat to his left and Roxas sat to his right.
"Ready for take off Captain Axel!" The taller blond mock saluted as the red-head glanced back over his shoulder with an arched brow and slight smirk.
"Right, ok." Axel turned a little to look to Sora, and then to Roxas who was sat behind him. "G'morning" he offered with a soft smile.
"Morning captain Axel!" the brunette flashed a grin to the man and followed suit with the same salute as Demyx.
"Hey.." Roxas refused to meet his gaze and mindlessly watched his hands. He wasn't exactly sure why he felt uneasy looking at the man. If uneasy was the right word.
Sora greeted Zexion who replied quietly and said good morning to the smaller blond who returned the favour. And with that, Axel started up the car and headed towards the mall.

"Ok, so where are we going first?" Zexion asked as he peered out into the vast crowded building before him in slight annoyance. Shopping was never his thing. Axel looked thoughtful for the briefest moment before draping an arm around Demyx's shoulders and leaning on him before answering.
"I think first stop should be breakfast. Riku woke me late and I never got the chance to eat." the red-head stated in a matter of fact tone as he placed more of his weight onto his friend.
"Riku, your room mate. That's the guy we're here for today right?" Sora gazed up at Axel then looked towards Demyx who appeared surprisingly ok with acting as a leaning post.
"Yup. That's the one. But breakfast first." Everyone nodded to that and followed the fiery man who seemed to already know where they were going to eat. Roxas found himself staring and quickly pried his eyes away to look at Sora instead.
"No coffee today. Classes start tomorrow and I want sleep before then." the blond warned as they entered a brightly colored cafe. The walls were a vibrant red with silver wall hangings and decorations, everything else seemed to follow suit or be pink. Roxas noted how odd it all looked but decided not to say anything.
"You guys like waffles right?" Axel looked more towards the small blond than anyone. Waffles? Did Roxas hear right?
"Waffles?" He smiled brightly and nodded his head. "Yeah waffles are my favourite thing for breakfast."
Sora grinned and nodded too. Anything edible sounded heavenly to him most of the time. Waffles were just a bonus.
Axel gave his own smile and headed over towards Zexion and Demyx who had already chosen where to sit near the back. After a few moments of watching the small brunette fidget and get comfortable next to the wall, everyone exchanged looks of confusion before looking at the red-head.
"I'll go order?" Axel asked, noticing all eyes on him. Upon receiving all out nods he grabbed Zexion by the arm and dragged him away towards the counter at the far end.
"So what are you guys going to get that Riku guy for his birthday?" Sora questioned with his eyes set on Demyx directly opposite him. "Do you know yet?"
The tall blond shook his head with his usual grin. "Riku is kinda weird I suppose. He likes stuff but he isn't really into anything in particular so it's hard to think what to get him."
"He likes…stuff huh?" Roxas mocked with an arched brow. After all, 'stuff' is a bit vague.
Before Demyx had a chance to answer, Sora already voiced another question. "How old is he going to be?"
"Twenty. Like Axel! I'm still nineteen, so is Zexion. How old are you guys?"
"Sora and I are both eighteen. Though we will be nineteen soon, me before him." Roxas rested his elbow on the table and leaned his chin on the upturned palm of his hand. Why was Axel taking so long dammit! Those waffles were sounding nice!
As if on queue a very syrupy waffle was placed before Roxas and next to it was a tall glass containing a pink substance. "Like I said shorty, I owe you a strawberry smoothie. Consider my debt paid." Axel sat down next to the small blond and pushed a waffle down towards Sora. Zexion returned to sitting at Demyx's side and handed him his oh so tasty breakfast. Mmm Waffles.
Roxas glanced to his side towards the red-head sitting almost too dangerously close for comfort. "Thanks…Axel." He received a smug smile and look in those green eyes that…well, kinda crept him out.
"OH! Axie! These are the best waffles ever!" Sora grinned down the table towards him.
"I thought YOU would like them, plus the extra…Extra syrup." Axel laughed and placed his arm along the back of the seat behind Roxas. He couldn't help but smirk when he saw the blond twitch. It was fun to make him do that.

"Operation- Riku's birthday present is underway!" Demyx placed both hands to his hips and stood in the most manly fashion he possibly could, which to be fair, wasn't all that manly. "Any ideas anyone? You're his room mate Axel, you MUST have an idea!"
"Hmm. Well, last time we came here, he seemed to like one of the jackets up at Hot Topic. But he looked away when he saw I was watching him. So, I'd say that would be a fair bet? Right?" Axel pointed in the direction of the shop mentioned before striking his own manly pose which could out-manly Demyx's attempt any day.
Zexion gave a light shrug only to have an arm slung over his shoulders. "OH cheer up Zexy-wexy! Riku-shopping is fun!" The blunette gave the tall blond his most deathly death-glare of doom and in return was dragged in the general direction of hot topic followed by the others.
Axel held out a black jacket adorned with zips and a few buckles here and there to show the others. After a few moments of quiet contemplation, Demyx placed a hand to his chin and tilted his head to the side. "Hmm.." his head inclined to the other side, "hmmm" then back to the original side…"HmmMmmMmmmOW!" he rubbed the back of his head which had just been violated by the red-head's hand. "I like it Ax."
Axel turned to Zexion. "Yeah, I like it too.." all eyebrows rose in shock that he had voiced an opinion. He had an opinion?!
"Ouch! It's pricey…" Demyx pointed towards the price tag before poking at it a few times. Perhaps poking it would make the price drop? ..Oh, apparently not.
"Well, I know I've never met this Riku before, but I wanna put some money towards it too! He's a friend to you guys so I'm happy too." Sora smiled as he edged closer to Axel. The red-head gave a quizzical look at the seemingly random act of kindness.
"In that case, I will too." All heads turned to Roxas then back to Sora.
"WOO! Then we should have enough!" Demyx clung onto Zexion's arm and grinned down towards the two shorter boys. "Let's get it now then go to the arcade!"
After collecting money from each person, Axel ventured forth to buy the jacket while everyone else headed over to the arcade much to Sora's excitement. He liked arcades. They had… DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION!
Roxas seemed to pick up on the joy behind the grin and frowned. Uh oh. Sora plus syrup plus DDR equals a sight to behold. A coffee-sugar high was bad enough.
"YES!" Sora pumped his arm in the air a few times before pouncing over to the perfect and waiting DDR machine. Demyx stepped up next to him with a grin of his own. In his opinion, he owned DDR!
"Hey Sora, how about a friendly competition?"
Sora looked up at the mention of his name, a sly smirk forming on his lips. Oh how he loved competition… "Ok! Loser has to… erm…" the brunette glanced around seeking some form of appropriate forfeit.
"Loser has to kiss Axel!" Demyx chimed, already bouncing on the spot in anticipation of the upcoming show of skill.
Both Sora and Roxas' eyes almost popped right out of their sockets. Did he hear right? "Has to WHAT?!" the small blond asked, a very faint blush playing his cheeks.
"Loser..has.to.kiss.Axel." he stated again, trying to make it sound simpler despite saying the same as before.
"O..k..DEAL!" Sora extended his hand out which was promptly taken and shook in agreement by Demyx. No way could he lose now!
Shifting uncomfortably on his feet, Roxas leant back against a near wall and was joined by Zexion to his side. The red-head appeared at his other side, taking up the same pose of leaning. "What's going on?"
"Demyx challenged Sora to DDR. Loser has to kiss you." Zexion mentioned without a hint of emotion.
Axel seemed amused by this, very amused. His emerald eyes shone down towards the bright blue of Roxas' causing his cheeks to further redden. Why couldn't he stop that damn blush every time the red-head looked at him?
"Ok Sora, you pick the song." Demyx motioned towards the screen displaying many choices. It took the brunette hardly any time at all to decide, it was almost as if he already knew the entire play list. Maybe he did?
Demyx had selected the difficulty and thought it would be fun to start on easy and make it harder until Sora royally screwed up. That was the plan.
The three non-participating boys watched on as the two teens stepped perfectly in rhythm, not a step out. They both moved left, they both moved right and jumped at the same time. Axel began to ponder upon how Roxas should be up there competing. He certainly didn't mind watching the short blond dance. Hopefully he would have lost too.
Zexion had grown mildly bored as they moved closer to the end of the first stage and wondered off to play Time Crisis or House of the Dead, he didn't mind which, as long as it had guns!
The difficulty had been raised and both Sora and Demyx still moved in perfect rhythm with each other and the machine, neither of them yet having missed a step. Roxas knew Sora was good, but didn't remember him being this good and damn Demyx was just as amazing. Axel wore a smug expression, perhaps still imaging the outcome if the smaller blond had have played and lost.
"Hey Axel, who do you think is going to win?"
Axel glanced down towards Roxas, meeting his gaze. "I'm not sure. Demyx has never lost, but by the looks of it, neither has Sora." He gave a shrug of his shoulders.
"He used to go to the arcade a lot back home, but I didn't always go with him. I never knew he was this good."
"Guess we'll just have to wait and see then yeah? I think one of them will want to miss a step soon…I mean, who would pass up a chance of kissing me?" Axel locked his eyes onto the blue ones staring back and pointed towards himself.
Roxas felt the recently all too familiar feeling of a blush grace his cheeks. And obviously, the red-head had noticed. "Y'know Roxas…you don't have to lose at DDR to kiss me…" he spoke with a serious expression and half lidded eyes.
A moment of recognition passed before it registered what he had just heard. "That's nice, but I have no intention or desire of kissing you." And with that, the blond turned his attention back towards his two dancing friends.
"Don't trip Sora!" Demyx mocked as they reached the hardest level. In his mind, he couldn't lose, not to the likes of the short brunette beside him.
"Not before you Demy!" Sora retorted as their personal final started up. No way could he lose now. "I'll kiss the person who can beat me at DDR!"
"Then you better get ready to kiss Axel AND me!" Demyx laughed as he jumped in time with boy at his side. Just this stage to go!
Roxas glanced down to this watch. They had been dancing for almost twenty minutes. What the hell?
"AH NO NO! NO!" the last stage ended and the results popped up on screen. "I NEVER LOSE!"
Sora grinned up towards the pouting Demyx. "You just did! Go do your forfeit damnit!"
Axel laughed and pushed away from the wall, holding his arms out towards his friend. "Bring it, Demy." Was it just Roxas, or did the red-head seem perfectly ok with the forfeit?
Demyx hoped down from the DDR stage and paced over the small distance towards Axel to be immediately pulled into his embrace. "I knew you'd lose."
The blond frowned and lightly punched the red-head in the arm. "Oi, it was a one off."
"Sure it was." Axel closed the gap between him and his friend by gently pressing his lips to the others in a soft kiss. Roxas stared and felt the burning in his cheeks again. But what was this new feeling? Was it…jealousy? What ever the new and somewhat unpleasant sensation was, it got worse as Demyx's back hit the wall with Axel pressed harshly against him, lips still locked to the blond he had pinned.
"Sora won then?" Zexion appeared next to Roxas and also looked on at the public display before him. "Don't warp their fragile minds." The blunette leant back against the bar on the DDR machine and cast his glance in another direction. Roxas could have sworn he saw an emotion pass in those down cast blue eyes but was snatched from his thought as a smirking Axel caught his gaze. The red-head stepped away from Demyx and leant back against the wall once more.
"Erm, good thing I won." Sora rocked back and forth on his feet with his hands clasped behind him. The thought of losing and having Axel pin him to the wall seemed…strangely not as weird as it would have usually.
"I don't know… I think it would have been equally as fun if you lost." Axel snickered and was nudged in the arm by Demyx. "Oh shut up Demy, you know I love you too."
Demyx grinned and walked over to Zexion, linking his arm within his. "Ok everyone, classes start tomorrow, we should head back."
