Diclaimer: Let's see. If any of us Akuroku lovers actually own the game I'm guessing that when Roxas tells Axel he's leaving they'd have a full out sex scene. So as you can tell, these charcters are not mine.
A/N: Shorter than the last chapter. I just couldn't right anymore because I've been typing all day with the new story and all. READ MY NEW ONE!! It's called Cupid's Dilemma. The first chapter is all Sora Riku but it changes into a Akuroku later. And review on any of my stories! I always like one even if you just want to say hi!
Loving Under Influence
Chapter Two: You've got to fight for your right to love!
Roxas was in deep shit. No, something worse. He was fucked, and quite literally at that. He gaped to see that the guy who had caused him to cheat on Namine, even if by accident, was her cousin. Her COUSIN! That's almost as bad as sleeping with her sister if she had one! Roxas started to shake. Great, now how was he going to tell her.
The Red head's face lit up upon seeing the familiar blonde. He walked over to him and said, "I'd hope we'd meet again." in a flirtatious way. Oh crap.
Namine cocked her head to the side in a confused way. "Axel, do you know Roxas?" she said in a rather suspicious manner.
Axel grinned slyly, "Yeah, I've gotten to no him, in a way." he said suggestively.
That was it! Roxas recovered from his petrified state and said, "We met at a party. That's all." he glared at the older boy.
Axel lifted an eyebrow at the younger boy, not quite understanding the situation. Roxas coughed in a break the awkwardness moment and held his hand out in greeting. "Hi, my name is Roxas Hikari, Namine's boyfriend." He hoped the guy would get the message.
Axel looked like a dear caught in the headlights. He tried to talk but kept on opening and closing his mouth like a fish, yet still no words were produced. He finally shook his had and turned to Namine. "Hey, how come you didn't tell me he was your boy when he was coming over?"
Roxas also looked at her confused. That was a good question. Namine looked sweetly at the two boys and smiled. "Oh Roxas, there was a reason I needed you to come over today. I was wondering if you could entertain Axel, I have to go to a Doctors appointment and I just can't trust him in the house alone. So, can you baby-sit?" she completely ignored the initial question.
Roxas stared at her in disbelief. "Um, I don't know..." she gave him puppy dog eyes. "Ok, I guess." he said reluctantly. She and Axel's faces lit up. I guess that was one way they resembled each other.
"Thank you so much Roxas! I promise I'll treat you to some sea salt ice cream later." she said as she put her hands together in a kind of praying position as she tilted her head smiling.
"How the hell did I get sucked into this." Roxas said as a tall red headed man pulled him around the shopping center. the college kid was acting like a five year old that's on his first play date.
He tugged the little blond around and pointing to random shops, dragging him inside. There probably wasn't a single store they hadn't popped in even if they did seem a little out of place when they walked into that hello kitty store where the girls of the group enjoy visiting. They finally stopped at a cafe when Roxas tummy began to rubble, embarrassing him and causing the red head to pat the boy on the head.
They opened the door to a small cafe, causing a bell to chime softly. This particular cafe was a soft maroon color, with jazz music playing in the background. They walked over to one of the small wooden tables and sat down across from one another.
"So, Roxas. You enjoying yourself?" asked the red head, he tilted his head curiously.
Roxas slanted his eyes at the college boy. "Enjoying myself? Oh yeah, I'm just dandy!" he said sarcastically.
Axel raised an eyebrow at the blond. "What's up your ass?" he said jokingly.
Roxas sighed annoyed. "Well last night I think it was you, but I guess according to how you've been acting that never happened."
Axel looked at Roxas in disbelief. "I though you would want to act like that. Considering, you are dating my cousin." Axel shot back.
Axel had a point. "We-well, It just that, I don't know." Roxas stammered. After all, he should be happy that Axel had kept their secret. So why was he so pissed?
Axel shook his head. "Look, I'm not stupid. I can tell that you don't want Namine to know. That is what you want isn't it?" he asked the boy. Roxas looked at the emerald eyed man confused.
"I, well, I don't want to hurt Namine. But I don't want to act like nothing happened. It's too weird. Anyways, I couldn't forget even if I wanted to. Your kind of my first." Roxas said blushing madly.
Axel looked at the younger boy shocked. "Oh wow. Well, that might be a little problematic..."
Roxas turned red, but this time with rage. "A little?! That's the understatement of the year!" people started to look strangely at the arguing boys. Roxas noticed and sat down trying to calm himself down.
"What he do, rape you?" came a voice from behind Roxas. The boy turned to see a familiar silver haired boy. He was wearing the cafe's uniform and holding a note pad. He darted his eyes between the two males.
Roxas laughed nervously. "um, its nothing. I didn't know you worked here Riku." the youngest boy said as he tried to change the subject.
Riku raised an eyebrow at Roxas' strange behavior. "I just started today. Who's he?" Riku said trying to get back to the old subject.
Axel waved at the sea eyed boy. "Axel, Namine's cousin. Got it memorized?" Riku nodded in acknowledgement. He then stared at the new man suspiciously.
"And what he did to you...?" Riku continued rather curious as to what his best friend's twin has gotten himself involved in. But Riku also wanted to know because he felt he was obligated to beat up anyone who dares to mess with Sora's brother.
"Like I said: nothing." Roxas stressed out the answer through clenched teeth. Axel snickered at the boys defensive behavior. It kind of looked like a kitten trying to be threatening.
"What's so wrong about him knowing about our dirty little secret?" Axel asked amused.
Roxas gave Axel a dirty glare. "He's my brother's best friend. If he knows, Sora knows."
"You have a brother?" asked the red head.
"Actually, their twins. But that's of topic." Riku said as he turned back to Roxas. "I don't tell Sora everything. Like that time when you... now that I think about it... It's not me who tells him. It's him who tells me. So you really have no right to not trust me."
Roxas pouted. Riku did have a good point. "It still is none of your business who I sleep with." Riku's eyes widen in shock. Axel started to laugh uncontrollably. Roxas, well, he was currently trying to find a sharp and pointy object to kill himself with.
"You slept with your girlfriend's cousin?! Her guy cousin at that." Riku said in disbelief. Roxas hid his face in his hands.
Axel finished his laughing fit. "But it's not that bad. We were both drunk so it's not his fault." Roxas' face was turning a darker red by the moment.
Riku crossed his arms. "Well, it's nice to know that Roxas is a gay drunk. Guess it takes alcohol to push Blondie out of the closet."
"I'm not gay!" shrieked the blond. The two boys stopped their teasing and turned to the fuming high school student.
"Sorry Roxas." Riku and Axel said simultaneously.
"You, stop getting so comfortable." Roxas said as he pointed a finger at the red head. He then switch his offending finger towards the silver haired man. "And you, mention this to anyone and Sora will find out about your more-than-friendly feelings toward him."
Riku's eyes widened slightly. "Wait a second...what makes you think that I like Sora?" he said defiantly.
Roxas rolled his cerulean orbs. "Please, Sora might be dense but I'm not. It doesn't take a scientist to see your deeply infatuated with him."
Axel looked up at Riku from his seat and smiled. "I guess we have something in common then."
Roxas slanted his eyes at the older boy. "And what, pray tell, could that be."
"We both like a Hikari boy." Axel stated smirking all the while. Roxas' mouth fell opened at he starred in disbelief at the college man.
Riku chuckled. "Well good luck with that. And if you'll excuse me, I have to go pretend I'm working as I have sexual fantasies about Sora." with that the aqua marine eyed boy headed to another table to ask for an order.
"Oops, he didn't take our order. Guess we'll wait a bit more and you can threaten him again later for neglect." said Axel jokingly as he leant back into his wooden chair. He threw his head back softly in exhaust.
Roxas kept on staring. He held a hand up and waved it around as he shook his head in confusion. "Wait, back it up. You like me?" the blond pointing a slender finger to himself.
Axel paused. He upturned his head in order to make eye contact. His emerald eyes glazed over as his face shaped into a serious look. "Yeah." he stated in a tone of satisfaction.
Roxas held his mouth slightly agape. He then averted his cerulean orbs. "But," Roxas choked out in a regretful tone, "I'm with Namine..."
Axel smiled innocently. "Yup. Situation sucks but I can't help it." he then leant over the table and stroked his long fingers against Roxas' reddening checks. "I'll just have to wait until you realize you want me just as much."
"R-right," the younger boy stuttered as he stood up, "Like that would ever happen." Roxas stumbled out of the café, embarrassment written all over his face. Roxas' heart was beating madly. He had never been treating so sweetly before. He and Namine had been dating for some time now but their relationship had never been very romantic. Sure, they hugged and kissed but both of them were very inexperienced and nervous to ever take it further emotionally or physically.
"Wait up!" Axel stated as he followed Roxas out of the café, quickening his pace as to catch up with the uncomfortable one. Axel looked down to the other male. He chuckled slightly at Roxas contorted face and its bright pink shading. Axel placed an arm around the shorter boy and leaned over, kissing the boy on his forehead. "Roxas, your too cute for your own good."
At this point Roxas became as red as a ripe tomato. He was sure he had steam emitting from his body. Roxas muscles tightened as he began to stumble over his own feet. "Um, let's go back home. Namine must be done with her appointment." Roxas suggested.
Axel's face was adorn with a slight pout. "Ahh, Roxas, you're no fun." he complain yet complained with his crush's wishes.
"Wait a second, you were kicked out of your dorm because you lit it on fire?! What's wrong with you?" exclaimed Roxas as he opened the front door of Namine's house. They entered and took off there shoes as to keep the floor clean longer.
Axel smiled wickedly. "What can I say, I have a weakness for fire."
"So you commit arsenal." Roxas stated sarcastically. Axel stuck his tongue out in reply making Roxas roll his eyes at the older boy.
"Welcome home boys. You have fun?" Greeted the blonde resident of the home. She smiled sweetly at the two.
"Sort of." Roxas stated as he sat down on the couch. "Tell me before I have to watch a five year old." he jested. Axel pouted and Namine giggled.
"I'm glad that you guys have become such nice friends." Namine said as she sat down on the left side of Roxas.
Axel sat on his right. "Oh yeah, the best!" He wrapped his arm around the boys shoulder. "Isn't that right Roxas?"
Roxas darted his eyes from Namine to Axel nervously. They were both looking at him with their great big eyes. "Right..." he sighed in defeat. What had he gotten himself into?
