Roxas made his way to bed after his bath, making sure to keep his phone in hand. The bothered blonde fiddled with his phone for a few seconds before settling into warm, welcoming sheets. A satisfied smirk found its way on Roxas's features, the thought of talking to Axel was already making the bruises seem invisible and the pain go away. Roxas sighed deeply, trying his hardest to remain in a calm mood.
"Hey Roxas, one more thing before I go to bed." Roxas looked up at the intruding voice, highlighting Axel's name on his contact list.
"Yeah, Sora?"
"Riku and I are taking a trip next weekend; you're welcome to come if you want." Sora leaned on the doorframe as he spoke, shrugging his small shoulders.
"Oh yeah, you're going to Riku's vacation house up in Silverton." Roxas nodded, looking off in another direction. The dreadful thought about being alone that time next weekend crashed Roxas's parade.
"You know it's okay if you don't want-" Sora was interrupted, slightly taken back.
"No, I'd love to go...I just got to make sure the guys aren't making plans first." Roxas gave his brother a soft smile, reassuring Sora of any worry he had.
"Okay, that's cool." Sora smiled back, sighing and biting his lip. "Alright, good night, you want me to shut your light?" Roxas gave a slight nod of thanks and watched as his older brother disappeared behind the closing door, leaving him in darkness.
Roxas looked back down at his phone and sighed heavily, not wanting the subject of Axel leaving to come up. With a soft click, Roxas placed his silver phone next to his ear and laid down, the side of his face pressing against the pillow.
"Roxas." Axel said his lovers name with a soft sigh, as if he was relived to hear from him.
"Hey, Axel." Roxas smiled knowing Axel had been waiting.
"Listen, Rox, I'm really sorry about what I said in the car before."
"Its fine, I was over reacting anyway." Roxas pushed their fight to the side and forgave Axel easily.
A tense silence passed between the two boys, Roxas thinking and Axel debating in his head. Roxas knew what Axel was going to say, he just sat waiting for the red head to bring it up.
"Did he hurt you?" Asked Axel, his voice laced with concern and anger.
"..." Roxas recalled the last time Axel found out about Roxas's father hitting him, it didn't end well.
"Roxas? Answer me." Axel sat on the living room floor with his hand running through his hair, Demyx sat on the couch not to far away from the red head.
The blond sitar player was quietly playing with his sitar strings, looking between his beloved instrument and Axel's worried expression. Demyx knew about the serious issue Roxas had at home, and honestly was worried about the teenagers' mental health. Demyx wanted Roxas to come along to the islands, even though he never spoke of it to Axel or the teen himself.
"Rox, god Rox, please don't...I know, I know." Axel had his hand over his eyes now; Demyx knew it had happened again by overhearing the quite sobs coming from the other line.
"Babe, I'll come there right now and bring you here if you want?" Axel offered, looking up at Demyx for approval.
Demyx nodded quickly and gave the red head a reassuring smile. Axel gave a weak smile back and looked back at his knees that were pulled up to his chest. Demyx got up when he felt Axel needed privacy.
"Roxas..." Axel whispered softly over the phone, closing his eyes and pretending he was near Roxas.
"I try so hard, Axel...I try so hard to make him like me." Roxas was slowly breaking Axel's heart with his words.
"I know, Roxy...But, if he's just going to be an asshole, don't worry about it. I love you and so does your brother. And I'm sure Demyx does too." Axel smiled when Roxas gave a soft chuckle.
"That's what I love to hear, I love your laugh." Axel knew Roxas was smiling and wanted nothing more than to keep off the touchy subjects. "Don't worry about it for now, okay? Come on, tell me how Sora is." Axel looked back and noticed Demyx left his sitar lying on the couch, the mullet styled blond must've called it a night.
"He's good. He and Riku are going up to Silverton next weekend." Roxas left out the minor detail of being invited.
"Oh yeah? That's nice, he's got the money and time." Axel yawned.
"Yeah, his family has basically been rich for years. He's a good guy though, so I don't mind him dating my brother." Roxas felt himself relax with this conversation.
"Yeah, Riku is awesome. I've known him longer than you boys have, he's trust worthy."
"I know...I miss you." Roxas cuddled deeper into his sheets, accidentally brushing his foot against his injured leg.
"Are you okay?" Asked Axel, suddenly concerned again with Roxas's hiss of pain.
"I'm good, just uhm hit my head on the headboard again." Roxas lied.
"Oh, be careful." Axel gave a soft chuckle. "I miss you, too. You left without giving me a kiss." Axel bit his lip, letting his lips curl up.
"Well, I probably would've punched you at that time."
"Yeah, that's true."
"I'm sorry, want me to come over there and give you a kiss?" Roxas loved these conversations with Axel, just where they fooled around and acted their age.
"I'd love that. But, you and I both know that if you come here I'll be getting more than just a kiss." Axel felt his devious side come back.
"I wouldn't let you get more than just a kiss." Another laugh came from Roxas, making Axel lie back on the couch and smile happily, knowing he caused that.
"Oh, Roxas...I have my ways. I can make you do whatever I want."
"No you can't." Roxas held onto his pillow, forgetting about the pain in his leg.
"I'd make you feel so good, I promise" Axel groaned into the phone, making sure to keep it down incase Demyx was still up.
"I know you can make me feel good." Roxas purred back.
"...What are you wearing?"
"Your shirt you left here and a pair of South Park boxers." Roxas bit his lip and closed his eyes.
"That's sexy, I'm still wearing what I wore today...I think now's a good time to strip." Axel was heard getting up off the couch, getting the young blond excited.
"Axel, stop you're getting me hot." Roxas moaned on purpose.
"I like getting you hot." Axel moaned back.
"Axel, seriously, I'm exhausted from tomorrow morning I'll come over for breakfast?" Sora suggested, not wanting to disappoint Axel to much.
"Yeah sure." I'll make Demyx pay." Roxas sensed the joking smile on Axel's lips and smirked as he yawned.
"Sounds like a plan to me." Roxas snuggled deeper into the sheets, letting the thought of sleep wonder aimlessly around in his mind.
"Go to sleep, Roxas...I'll be there when you wake up." Axel promised.
"Do you promise to be here?" Roxas placed both of his hands around the phone.
"I promise. Don't worry, he won't be around tomorrow." The venom from Axel's voice leaked through the phone, making Roxas shiver.
"Thank god." Roxas's voice was slowly getting quiter, telling Axel he was falling alseep.
"...Good night, Roxas." Axel whispered lovingly.
"Good night, Axel..." Roxas softly responded.
"I love you, more than anyone else in the world. Got it memorized?" He chuckled.
Roxas laughed softly and nodded, forgetting that Axel couldn't see him, "Love you too, Axel."
Roxas fell asleep shortly after hanging up with Axel, his dreams were filled off memories with Axel that night..not of the horrible man that was sleeping a few doors down the hall.
