Illegal Love
"Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay."
Nothing eventful happened on the bus, while they sat in the middle car, glancing uneasily the entire time at the unusual passengers. There was an old woman, her graying curls bound tight to her head as she talked to herself. There was a girl, her strip club clothes carefully hidden under a black leather coat, her blonde wisps of hair bounding off her head. Zexion recognized her. Larxene. She was a junior at their school, held back twice, but her life must not be as easy as she made it seem.
They sat next to her, Zexion constantly looking towards her as his attention stayed on the passing scenery. "Larxene? Is that you?" He finally spoke up.
She turned slowly, her green tinted eyes unsure of the voice. "Do I know you?"
"You're a junior at my school," He murmured. "I…are you alone?"
"No!" She barked. "I'm not alone!" Her eyes danced around, trying not to make contact. She took a deep breath, calming herself down. "My mom entered rehab again…I just needed some cash, okay? Don't tell the headmaster…Please…" She pleaded, her wild green eyes dancing as she waited for an answer.
"I won't if you won't," Zexion grinned, his gray eyes watching as she stepped up and waited for the train to stop.
"Thanks," She smiled shyly, glancing as the scenery stopped and the doors opened.
"Stop E: Radiant Garden Fourth District." A nonexistent voice muttered over the intercom as the two passengers watch Larxene leave. "Next Stop C: Twilight Town Sunset Plaza, approximately fifteen minutes."
"See, babe? You could be worse off," Marluxia murmured, tracing circles into his boyfriend's palm. "Your mom could have you working with her. Wouldn't that be cute?" He smiled sarcastically. "You fucking your mom? Or would she just watch?"
Zexion steamed inside himself, his eyebrows scrunching together as he glared at the older boy.
"Oh…pressure point, I see." Marluxia chuckled. "Your mom did call the other day; she said she's out of money, again…"
The time couldn't move quick enough. Zexion just wanted to be free. With all the emotion abuse Marluxia doubled out with, the scars were internal too.
Marluxia let the silence pass for a little longer. "How's your little cousin doing, Zexi? Have you talked to him since he tried committing suicide? Did you return his letters?"
"You said I couldn't write, Marly…It wasn't my fault." Zexion broke down in tears, the clear salty drops falling from his clenched eyes. "…Riku just needed someone…you wouldn't even let me talk to him…"
"You were being bad." Marluxia scolded. "Just tell him to get therapy; he seems like an annoying son of a bitch anyway."
He looked away, pulling the hand away as the train stopped.
"Come on, Zexi…" Marluxia hurried, grabbing fast to the indigo boy's wrist, not caring that the scrapes and bruises left the boy wincing in pain. He pulled him along, out the door as the sunlight glared into their eyes.
They stepped off, Marluxia holding the bag of their overnight clothes and a make-up case for the clubs later. "Flower-Boy! Over here! Marly!"
The two turned to see a wild rush of red hair flowing from a tale pale body. He was a tall boy, his flaming hair wildly flowing out in gravity defying spikes. His sparkling green eyes watched quietly from above two black upside down teardrop tattoos. He held his hands poised on his hips. "Hey, Axel." Marluxia grinned, waving to his friend as he pulled Zexion over. "This is Zexi…"
"Oh." Axel smiled, pulling his hand to grasp Zexion's chin, his lips dangerously close as his emerald eyes danced over the features on his face. "He is cute,"
"Axel." Marluxia pouted. "You said."
Axel moved quickly, wrapping his hands around Marluxia's waist, and placing a quick kiss on his pale lips. "Yes, but I never said I didn't cross my fingers."
Marluxia smiled. "You never change, you bastard." Axel had been in the senior class with Marluxia, they had been friends, and formerly boyfriends.
"Yeah, I guess I can't do that anymore…" Axel stuffed his hands down in his pockets. "You guys up for some Lunch?"
Zexion would have pounced on any food he saw; he was so hungry. Marluxia hadn't given him enough time to even touch the cinnamon toast, and his stomach was growling.
The Sunset Plaza was filled with different shops, three Italian restaurants, a pizza joint, four chain fast food shops and a Chinese buffet. "What you guy's feel like eating? My buds are coming in about five minutes."
"Buds?" Marluxia raised an eyebrow in Axel's direction.
Axel laughed. "Just some guys from college. Leon, and his boyfriend, and some gals from the classes."
"Oh, okay." Marluxia smiled again as he glanced over the restaurants, "How about Lilac's?" He pointed over to the purple dressed building that was wedged in between two of the Italian places.
"Nice choice." Axel commented as he flipped open his Chocolat cell phone. "Hey, Leon? Yeah, its Axel…Lilac's okay? Yeah, he's here. Fine? Can't make it? Yes…I'll see you and Cloud at the club. Yeah, it's still at six. Happy Hour. Yeah. Okay, bye." Axel looked back to the two following him. "Leon and Cloud…are…Er…busy."
Marluxia knew exactly what he meant. "So, we'll be pretty much alone."
"Yeah." Axel shrugged, holding a glass entrance door open for the two of them, a light draft of cool air flowing out from the pizza shop.
The shop was quaint, three or four purple covered tables, and each topped with a vase of light indigo lilacs. It seemed like the entire store had been fashioned after Zexion's tinted hair color. They took a seat in one of the five booths on the right wall, across from the bar, which was coupled with purple hued black lights. A blonde bartender was behind the counter, her curled bangs hanging in front of one of her piercing brown eyes. The tips of her hair was dyed bright pink and her nails were painted a deep black as she set down the illuminated drink in her left hand.
"Hello, I'm Rinoa, I'll be your waitress, can I get you guy something to drink?"
Axel smiled, what seemed to be a trademark to himself. "I think three of the house specials will do, right, Marly?"
Marly grinned and nodded. "Sure, that'd be great; I'll also have a cup of coffee, cream please?"
"Sure, right away." Rinoa smirked, writing the order on a slip of white paper.
Axel then shot a glance at the two sitting across from him. Marluxia's arm was snaked around Zexion's waist. "How old are you?"
Zexion took a ragged breath, glancing over at his pink haired boyfriend in a sort of 'can I tell' look. Marluxia nodded, holding his grin as he gave a defiant squeeze to Zexion's waist. "Seventeen, I turn eighteen in October."
"Oh." Axel gave a half shrug as Rinoa reappeared with the drinks. "Marly, you let him drink underage?"
Zexion almost choked. Let him? He encouraged it!
"You okay?" Axel looked worried as he took the three frosted glasses from Rinoa and set one in front of each of his friends.
Zexion took a deep breath. "…Yeah…sorry…"
"I let him do what he wants, within reason." Marluxia smiled, picking up the glass, looking curiously at the purple glow stick in the bottom. He took a sip. "Pretty good," He motioned for Zexion to follow suit.
Zexion took a slow drink, grimacing at the harsh spiked taste. "It's okay."
"You want some coffee, sir?" Rinoa asked, picking up Axel's now empty frosted glass.
"Yes please." Zexion grinned, watching Marluxia swipe his purple glass and drink the remains.
"Are you ready to order?" The blonde replied, pouring a cup of coffee and placing a container of cream next to him.
Axel glanced at the boys; they nodded in agreement as Axel closed his menu. "Yeah, I'll take two slices of Supreme pizza."
"I'll have a slice of pepperoni and Zexi'll have a garden salad." He didn't even let Zexion decide for himself.
"Okay." Rinoa gave a cheerful grin as she left for the pizzas.
"Salad, not so hungry today, Zexi?" Axel murmured.
Marluxia set his cup of coffee down, stirring it intently with a small spoon. "He's watching his figure, he's three pounds over the weight he needs to be at."
"How much do you weigh, Zexi?" The redhead looked to the thin boy across from him.
"One-Hundred and eighteen." Zexion glanced shyly away. (A/N: He weighs less than me, apparently) "And please don't call me Zexi…Only Marly can."
"Oh…" Axel murmured, watching as Rinoa returned, placing the plated slices of pizza down in front of their customers. "So, you're still in high swchuul…" He tried to talk as he shoveled bites of pizza into his mouth.
"Yes, I am. I'm a senior this year." He replied, picking up his fork and looking down in disdain at the boring salad. "So you're a…what, junior in College, Like Marly?"
Axel nodded, this time being polite enough not to start talking with half a pizza in his mouth. He swallowed. "Yeah, But I don't think that I get to go for senior year."
"Why not?" Marluxia asked, looking over at his friend while taking a delicate bite of his pizza.
"Oh, Ms. Lockhart wasn't too happy with me setting her desk on fire." He chuckled, flipping out a lighter. "That thing went up like a bomb." He flicked it on, the bright twisted flame shooting from the open trigger.
"Idiot." Marluxia muttered, finishing off his pizza. (No one really saw him eat it…) "Zexi? Are you finished?"
Zexion glanced again at his salad. He had barely taken three bites. But, when Marluxia was finished, he was finished. "Yes. Yes I am."
"Swoo…whav cloobe yu vanna hete fwirst?" Axel mumbled, spewing random bits and pieces of food at the two opposite him. He swallowed again. "Sorry…What club do you want to hit first?"
"What ones do you suggest?" Marluxia sighed, leaning back on the purple plastic of the booth. His hand rushed up and pulled Zexion to himself, holding the smaller body in with his, meshing together.
"Well, Comet is nice, but so is Oblivion." Axel replied, finally finishing off his pizza. (He had finally stopped sounding like a dying cow while eating.) "Of course, Cloud and Leon would probably suggest Haze or Fox and Hen."
Zexion personally had never been to a club; being underage might have caused that. He wasn't looking forward to finding out what was so cool, he just knew there would be a ton of other gay guys, and well, drinking. Not something he normally did.
"I don't know." Marluxia shrugged, nuzzling his face deep into Zexion's neck, laying soft kisses slowly on the flesh. Zexion closed his eyes, letting his silver bangs fall in his face again.
Axel inwardly smiled. He was happy Marluxia had found someone after their breakup, but he couldn't help but notice the poor boy. He was like a puppet, controlled in every aspect of his life by the pink haired beauty. "I suppose we'll just have to hit them all." He chuckled.
"Works for me," Marluxia agreed, "How bout you, babe?"
"Fine." Zexion sighed, feeling the lift of the lips from his neck.
"First though," Axel rose from his seat, placing two dollars on the middle. "I've got some errands that need to be taken care of. Do you guys mind?"
"Not at all." Marluxia smiled as he pushed Zexion forward.
Rinoa waved as she began to clear off the plates. "Just leave the bill at the counter; that'll be Thirteen twenty-four with the three slices of pizza, garden salad, two coffees and three House Specials." She repeated the order from memory as she piled up the dishes. "Thanks, sir."
They left.
"Leon and Cloud'll meet us at Oblivion, its over on Ninth Street, so you boys don't mind walking, right?" Axel muttered to his company, glancing at his phone.
"That's fine." Marluxia murmured, raising an eyebrow in Axel's suspicious dealings. "You waiting for a call?"
"Hn? No…just…" Axel stuttered, slipping the phone out and flipping through for any missed calls. "…Yes."
"Who?" Zexion asked as they hurriedly crossed the street, narrowly escaping the yellow cab shooting down the side street.
"Zexi…that's not nice…" Marluxia scolded, tightening his grip on the lilac boy's wrist. "Do I have to punish you later?"
He turned away, eyes downcast to the street. "Imsorrymarluxia."
"Didn't catch that," Marluxia smirked, leaning in and laying his lips to Zexion's cheek. He slid his tongue over the cold flesh, leaving circles of saliva traced under his gray eyes.
"I'm sorry." He repeated as he tried to place himself elsewhere. "It was none of my business."
Marluxia abruptly ended his taste. "If he owes you for his probing, Axel, just tell me."
Axel swept in. "As much as I'd like that," He grinned, pulling his hand up to grasp Zexion's chin, his brilliant green eyes glaring into the deep blue-gray mirrored version. "I'm gonna have to let your offer go."
"So there is someone." Marluxia replied as he pulled Axel away from his boyfriend.
"Sort of." Axel led, as he continued past a dozen or so clothing outlets. "…See, his name's Roxas."
"Go on." Marluxia's smile grew wider.
"Well, the problem is that he's Cloud's youngest brother," Axel continued, keeping his eyes draped on the concrete passing below him.
"Youngest?" Zexion's eyebrows rose.
"That doesn't seem like much of a problem." Marluxia shrugged, glancing at the passing bars and clubs.
Axel took a ragged breath. "He's a sophomore."
"In high school?" Zexion choked.
"Zexi!" Marluxia growled. "That is very impolite to interrupt him." He slowed down, taking to walking behind the two of them as he laced his arms around Zexion's waist, stopping them both. "I packed the handcuffs." He almost purred in the peach colored ear half-hidden by indigo colored hair.
He let go, much to Zexion's relief, and they picked up the pace to catch Axel.
"So why are you so hooked on him?" Marluxia asked, slipping a shoulder around Axel's shoulders.
"Unh…" Axel droned, picking his glance up to the pink haired boy next to him. "Well, I was dropping Cloud off at his house, (He had gotten a bit too drunk to drive himself) and from the top window, I saw these eyes. Bright, blue eyes. They were stunning. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, just think about how beautiful those eyes were. It was his brother." Then a ring tone broke the reminiscing. I hope the ring you gave to her turns her finger green…I hope when your in bed with her, you think of me. He fumbled with the phone, flipping it open and pulling it to his ear.
"Roxas?" He asked hopefully.
"No, Axel." A stern voice came from the other end. "Would you like to explain to me why your phone number was found in the sheets of my baby brother's bed?"
"Hn…Whoa…What!" He almost choked, his face becoming flushed as he stuttered for an answer. "…Cloud…whatever you think…I didn't do anything…I swear…"
Cloud leaned back against the blue wall of his brother's room, his eyes looking longfully to the brunet who was hurriedly retrieving his pants from the floor. "Sure, Axe, and your oh-so-reliable any other time." He looked down the torn out piece of notebook in his hand. "So reads, Dear Roxy, From the first time I saw your gorgeous blue eyes from that open window, when you were sleeping so peacefully and woke to find me staring…I want to hold you in my arms, to kiss your cheek, to be yours. Please, call me sometime, here's my cell, it's always on."
Axel immediately turned a deep version of red. "…Cloud…Please believe me, I wasn't trying to get into his pants…It wasn't like that."
"You were stalking my baby brother." Cloud took a harsh sigh on the other end, wrapping an arm around the brunet who had taken a seat on the gray-sheeted bed. "Axel…I, Uh, got to go." He said leaning onto his brunet lover's body. "I'll see you later…and…leave my baby brother alone…" The phone clicked as he tackled the brunet.
The door swung open, a wide-eyed blonde stood staring at the two who were in a compromising position on his bed. "Cloud?" He murmured, sweeping a hand over his eyes. "Please…not in…my room…"
"Roxas…what…are you doing in here?" Cloud quickly stood up, flipping a sheet over Leon, as if he would become invisible.
Roxas stepped back a bit, trying to wipe the picture from his memory. "Remember? Mom said I could have friends over? You were supposed to drive us to the movies…Sora, Riku, Namine, Yuna, Hayner, Kairi, Pence, Ollette, Selphie and Tidus are waiting…we really need you to drive the van for us…"
"…But…Roxy…can't Hayner's boyfriend…Seifer, whatshisname, do it?" Cloud pouted. "I don't wanna take a minivan to the club…." he added roughly under his breath.
"No, Cloud, I told you already, but Seifer had to work today, that's why Hayner is real depressed and all…" Roxas muttered, glancing around as he took a sharp breath. "Did you just call me Roxy?"
"Eh, sorry…just sort of slipped." Cloud shuffled around the bedroom, searching for his shirt that had disappeared earlier. "I…Leon and I…we'll get on that…"
"Oh, yeah, and next time you and Leon decide to 'get it on'…don't do it when I have friend's over!" Roxas rushed from the room.
Leon pulled the sheet off as he stood up and finished putting his pants on. "Wait, don't you have another brother…can't he drive…"
"He's sick." Cloud groaned, stretching slightly as he pulled on the brunet to leave the room. "Stupid cold."
"Poor Cloud…" Leon murmured, slipping his hands around the blonde's body.
Sora slipped down onto the leather sofa, shaking the dice in his palm swiftly. "Damn…snake eyes." He muttered as he moved his dog monopoly piece down two spaces. "Now I owe you fifteen hundred for the stupid houses you have, Riku."
Riku's smile became more prominent as he slid over on the couch closer to the brunet. "Or there could be other ways of payment…" He smirked as he slid a hand down Sora's leg.
"Oh god, are they going on with it again?" Yuna groaned, closing her eyes.
"What, Riku and Sora?" Ollette replied, picking up a digital camera and flipping it on record. "I wouldn't care…this is You tube gold,"
"No…No…" Tidus spoke up, eyeing Hayner with a deep wanting look. "Roxas' brother."
"Sora, stop it!" Kairi scolded, swiping Sora over the back of his head.
Sora stopped and turned towards the redheaded girl. "Why, Kairi? I'm not your boyfriend. I can do as I please…"
"But…Sora…" Kairi pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. "I…I want you…"
"Don't care." The brunet shrugged, pulling himself towards the silver haired boy next to him. He placed his pale peach lips to the second pair, sliding his arms around Riku's neck.
"Come on, CLOUD! LEON!" Roxas shouted, banging his fist on the wall. "The movie starts in FIFTEEN MINUTES!"
"Fine…" A ragged sigh came from the hallway, as a tousled looking blonde walked from the bedroom, Leon in tow. "Lets go, Riku, Sora, I'd stop making out on my couch…You don't want to know what kind of stuff went down on there. Ollette, I have hotter videos, Kairi, stop acting like a bitch, Tidus, just tell Hayner you want him, and Roxas, try to keep with your own age group." He rambled, rifling in his pocket for his keys.
The group stood stunned and slightly disgusted as they followed the older boys out of the room.
"…Wait…" Roxas murmured, letting the group leave without him.
"Yeah?" Cloud asked, handing the keys to his boyfriend.
Roxas shuffled his feet as he looked up at his older brother. "You found the letter, huh?"
"Yes, Roxy…" Cloud slid his answer down as he pulled the letter from his back pocket. "I know Axel, okay? He's just trying to get in your pants."
"No…Cloud your wrong…he's really nice! He likes me for me…" Roxas cried out, a few tears sliding from his crystalline blue eyes.
Cloud shook his head. "I'm not. Don't call him again. You catch him watching you…I catch him watching you, I swear, I'll beat him into a pulp." He broke out into shouting as he found a hand beat against his younger brother's cheek. "Now, get in the car."
"Fine…" Roxas replied as he rubbed his cheek, the reddened skin hot to his own touch.
The elder blonde hurriedly pushed the younger forward. "Go on, Roxas, You wanted to go to the movies, let's go."
