Disclaimer: I am a simple fourteen year old girl that dreams of hot Kingdom Hearts Characters (males) all in love with each other... without any of the useless female characters. I'm just saying.
Warnings: SLASH, abuse, drugs, drinking, self-harms, pedophiles, ANGST, etc.
Summary: Roxas is a smoking, drinking, and abused teen that has recently been reunited with his happy-go-lucky twin. Will this new high school help Roxas stop his newest addiction in its tracks, or does Radiant High just spell trouble? AkuRoku slash

Author's Note: Surprisingly, I got a lot of positive reviews on Roxas' little fling with Sephy. I was freaking after I posted last chapter, worried I scared you all away. But I think that Seph and others will help to built up to Axel, and I'm happy to see you all (mostly...) agree.

Anyway, enjoy the update and let me know what you want to happen in the future chapters.

Chapter 7

Roxas woke up feeling warm and comfortable. The only reason he had woken from his sleep was the small amount of light that was now shinning in the room. Roxas guessed it was from a window, but didn't open his eyes to check. Instead, he rolled over slowly, and curled up to the warm, muscled body next to him.

Long arms curled around his waist and tightened, pulling Roxas slightly on top of him. Roxas could hear the other man's heartbeat as he relaxed his head on the chest. Tilting his head up slightly to get a look at the silverette, he sleepily opened one eye before opening the other.

Sephiroth, surprisingly, was sound asleep. Roxas smiled before he could help it. Sephiroth's face was tilted to the side as he slept, the side of his face resting on the black pillow. He was a sight to behold. Sleep momentarily forgotten, Roxas propped himself up to get a good look.

Silver hair and pale skin contrasted against the black sheets and pillows. Roxas' eyes trailed from where he knew electric green eyes were to the man's mouth. Passing it, his eyes followed the narrow neck and to the right. On the spot where Sephiroth's heart was placed, a black tattoo stood out, seemingly almost 3D against his skin.

Roxas strained his eyes to read the elegant cursive. "Jenova..." He whispered to himself. His hand moved of its own accord and reached out to touch the tattoo. Gently placing his hand down, he traced the lettering.

As he finished tracing the 'a' on the tattoo, he brought his hand back to the blanket. Roxas just spent a minute, daydreaming. Roxas' eyes eventually trailed back up to the perfect face of the silver-haired man.

Roxas jumped slightly as Sephiroth's eyes opened, looking at Roxas in hidden amusement. Unknowing to the blond, the other had been awake since Roxas had started to zone out. Roxas gave a small smile before sitting up. Sitting cross-legged in between Sephiroth's long legs, he watched Sephiroth sit up and lean back, resting his weight on one arm. The two just stared at each other for a minute before Roxas spoke.

"Do you want me to leave?" His voice was quiet and understanding.

Sephiroth looked at Roxas with a raised brow. "What makes you think I'm finished with you yet?" He said with a cocky smile, amusement in his eyes. Grabbing Roxas by the back of the neck, Sephiroth pulled him back down.

Flipping them over so he was on top, Sephiroth proceeded to show Roxas exactly what was on his mind.

Riku sat across from Sora in the kitchen, sipping at a cup of coffee. Sora, on the other hand, was munching happily on the bacon, eggs, and toast Riku had so thoughtfully got up early to make him. Riku sighed and stood before lifting his hands above his head and stretching, enjoying the popping feeling on his spine.

"I need to go remind Sephiroth that mother wants us over for lunch." Riku started to head out of the room when Sora stood up and grabbed his sleeve.

"But, they might still be... you know." Sora said with a blush. He didn't want the silverette to have to see his own brother pounding someone into a mattress.

"Relax Sora, the moans stopped almost an hour ago." Riku said with a smirk, inwardly laughing as Sora's blush deepened. He loved Sora's cute innocence. "I'll be back in a second, just finish eating so I can take you home." Riku walked up to his eldest brother's bedroom door and stood outside for a second, listening. The sound of someone starting the shower from Sephiroth's personal bathroom was all he could hear. He quietly turned the handle, and inched open the door.

When the door was open enough, he maneuvered his thin body in between the frame and the door to look inside. Eyes scanning the room, his eyes widened at the sight of a blond male lying on his stomach on his brother's bed, the sheets pooled lowly on his hips. Riku couldn't shake the familiar-ness of the blond in front of him, and narrowed his eyes to get a better look at him.

He heard his brother crack open the bathroom door so he quickly (and quietly) shut the door, barely breathing. Riku listened carefully, trying to see if his brother caught him snooping or not. "Come here Roxas.." Sephiroth commanded in a sultry tone, practically purring his target's name.

Riku breathed a sigh of relief. So he hadn't caught him. But then Riku's eyes widened in sudden realization. His mind put together the pieces. Familiar… Blond hair... Roxas...

Sora's brother.

Riku knew Sora wouldn't like this. He wouldn't like this at all.

Roxas slid off the back of Sephiroth's bike smoothly. "Thanks for the ride." And everything else. He said with a smirk.

"Anytime." Sephiroth said with a smirk, the underlying message obvious to the both of them. Turning his head away from the blond, the silver haired man sped away, leaving Roxas standing in front of his house, feeling very satisfied.

Heading through the house, Roxas grabbed a water bottle out of the fridge and headed upstairs to his room. Sitting on the bed, he contemplated getting out his laptop but decided not to, content to just sit comfortably.

As he just sat, he heard the sound of raised voices elsewhere in the house. Curious, Roxas left the bottle on his bed and opened his door. He heard the voices from the kitchen downstairs. Roxas headed down the stairs slowly, careful to avoid the one stair he learned creaked. The voices were quieter now, the yelling having stopped. Roxas recognized it as Cloud and Sora's voices, along with what he thought was Riku, so he inched through the living room, closer to the kitchen.

When he got to the center of the living room, he could hear the voices clearly.

"Are you sure Riku?" He heard Cloud's voice, sounded tired and older than he had ever heard.

"I'm not lying if that's what you're implying." Riku said, sounding miffed.

"Calm down Riku, that's not what he meant and you know it." Sora said, but without the usual happiness he usually spoke with. "He's telling the truth Cloud."

He heard someone shuffle around. Now Roxas was really curious. What had the three of them that upset? His question was answered when Cloud spoke again.

"I wasn't going to say anything about this, but I guess now I need to." He paused as if to take a deep breath. "The other night, I was awake. I had gotten a call from someone and I hadn't been able to fall asleep after. So I just sat in the living room. Around midnight or so, I heard someone moving around upstairs."

Roxas couldn't breathe. Had he been caught already?

"I saw Roxas... come down the stairs. He was obviously dressed for some... hardcore partying or clubbing or something." Cloud said and he heard Sora gasp. "A truck drove up, with a ton of teenagers. Some looked a little older though, probably just out of high school. Roxas just jumped into the truck and took a beer." He didn't need to say anymore.

Riku mumbled something inaudible. Sora just gulped. Cloud spoke again. "And if what you tell me about Sephiroth is true..."

Roxas was frozen in his spot. How had everything turned out so badly already? He hadn't even been here a week, and yet he was already on his way to screwing everything up. Already he was messing up this perfect family that he didn't deserve to be a part in. It wasn't even arguable. He already proved he had no right to be a part of this family.

Cloud stepped out of the kitchen, looking miserably angry. But as he saw Roxas standing frozen in the middle of the room, he stopped. Cloud's heart broke as he looked in Roxas' eyes, and saw the immense amount of self-hatred in his eyes. Never had Cloud (even as a SOLDIER, where he dealt with many, many types of people) seen that much self-loathing in one person.

Cloud's anger left him faster than he thought possible. He crossed the room in two strides and pulled Roxas to his chest.

No matter what someone did, no one deserved to hate themselves that much. He tightened his grip on Roxas, not caring that the younger wasn't hugging back, still frozen. Sora stood in the doorway, with Riku at his side. Both were confused, but knew they needed to give the two some space.

It was obvious Roxas needed some help. Sora prayed that Cloud would be able to fix the broken blond. But he had an underlying fear that Cloud wouldn't be enough.

Author's Note:

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks to all the lovely reviewers who reviewed the last chapter. I would love it if you all continued to do what you do! But on a side note, I have a question: Do you want me to start a Seph/Roxas story?

It wouldn't be me changing this story to a Sephiroth and Roxas story, but it would be a completely different story. (No, I am not stopping this one!) If you do, just let me know via a message or in your review. Also, if you have a good idea or plot for one, let me know, m'kay?

It's just that most people's reviews went something like this: "Oh mah goodness! I just loved that hot smexy Sephiroth and I was surprisingly turned on by him and Roxy together."

Hoped you liked it! R&R
