Chapter Four, the plot thickens!

Review!!


Romeo

"This could be the very minute
I'm aware I'm alive
All these places feel like home"

Zexion felt a long tug on his arm, and he politely followed.

"Good boy." Marluxia replied smugly.

Leon followed close behind, tugging his boyfriend away from Axel. "Come, Cloudsy…We're going to go dance!"

"But…Leon…I have to make sure that Axel doesn't try to rape my baby brother!" Cloud shouted, latching onto Axel's arm and pulling him with. Cloud quickly pulled out his phone.

"COME ON, Cloud!" Leon shouted, pulling the phone away. "We're going in!"

They left the street very confused.

The inside of the club was decked out in multicolored lights, instantly changing from orange to blue when they walked inside. There was a bar in the back, complete with a wall of liquor bottles of all colors and the young bartender happily stirring a drink for a brunet on a blue stool. The dance floor was filled with meshing bodies, the heated music bending them together in a graphic movement.

Zexion had only been to a club twice before, and yet it still made him feel uneasy with all the drunken hands traveling over his body. Because he knew that no matter what he said in rebuttal, their minds were set, for in their eyes, he was completely willing.

He was pulled through the dance floor to the back where the bar was almost empty, except for a few college students kissing and letting their hands travel over their bodies. He was set down, as Marluxia wrapped himself around, letting his arms drape over the thin shoulders, pressing his lips to the bare neck and letting the soft kisses travel over the lithe body.

"Mmmm…Marluxia…" Zexion laughed, half moaning at the same time, trying to keep himself from showing any signs of a turn on.

The bartender walked over silently, wondering if she should say something or ask for their order. She tossed her blonde spikes back, positioning her black headband neatly across her head. Her pink and white tube top fell neatly under her black scarf and partially over her blue mini skirt. "Can I get you guys anything? Green Bees? Iced Vivi?" That was one thing special about Oblivion; the drinks all had interesting names that they changed every month, so when a person came in they'd never get the same drink twice.

"Um…" Marluxia seemed to not want to break his travel over Zexion's body.

Axel walked over smoothly and sat down next to the couple. "Here, Fourteen," He placed three dollars on the counter, the girl didn't mind being called a number, it was what all the bartenders were called, she just happened to be 14. "Just get us three Glow Styx. They're still only a dollar each, right?"

The bartender nodded, her black hair tossing in various directions as she scooped up the money. "I'd ask you for I.D, Axel, but I know for one, you never carry any, and two, and I know how old you are." She spun around, not even pausing to notice the lilac and maroon haired boys. "Three Glow Styx, coming up as soon as I find the cups."

Axel chuckled, feeling a soft vibration in his pocket, which with his perverted mind actually didn't feel that weird, but alas, he needed to answer it sooner or later. "Save my drink, Fourteen!" Axel murmured as he tipped his cell in the direction of the girl behind the bar as he quickly stood up. He shifted through the mix of hot bodies, eyes set on the small doorway on the other side of the club, the soft glow of the streetlights that had just been turned on barely visible through the dancing.

The street was colder now, the light wind nipping at his body. He now wished he had worn more clothes. The black mesh tee shirt did nothing to help beneath the lime green tube-like top. It actually looked quite nice on his anorexic figure. He had almost forgotten the phone as it vibrated again and he scooped it to his ear.

"Roxy." He smirked, eyes drifting over the empty street. "So, my sunshine graces my ears again." His voice was soft and caring as he moved to the edge of the building, leaning back against the wall.

"Hey, Axel." Roxas sounded a slight bit sad. He held the small black cell between his ear and his shoulder, slowly closing the bathroom door behind him. "Listen…I'm sorry…you know, about Cloud."

Axel snickered, reddened spikes flying everywhere. "No problem, Roxy, no problem at all." His smile was beautiful; he could only picture the blonde sitting before him, the tousled bed head of blonde spikes, and the deep cerulean eyes. "So, what is my sunshine up to?" (A/N: Shout out to Perfect Match! God I loved that story!) Roxas leaned casually on the door of one of the bathroom stalls, eyeing his reflection in the mirror with curiosity. "Cloud and Leon dropped the crew down here at Destiny Theater." He turned slowly, eyes glancing over the writing on the bathroom door. "Why won't Cloud give you a chance?" Unbeknownst to Roxas there were interesting…reasons.

Axel's mind was beginning to wander. High School had been so messed up. Those notes had been how he had broken up with Marly, but Roxas didn't need to know that.

"Yeah." Roxas grinned. "So, my dear Akuseru…" Axel flinched again. "Would you like to be my accompaniment to a…err…how should I say this…"

"Date?!" Axel shrieked, almost jumping five feet into the air.

Roxas glanced down at his feet, nodding softly. "Uh…Uh-huh."

Axel shot a punch into the air. "Yes! But…you'll have to call Demy-Kins; you still need a ride, I rode the bus. You know, Cloud wasn't too happy about the note…sorry."

"I know…" Roxas was still grinning ear to ear. "But he needs to mind his own business." He slid out of the stall and began towards the black door exit. "How about I get Demyx to drive me over, and we can head onto the Hill for sunset?"

Axel liked that idea. How beautiful would the blonde look in the soft glow of the sunset? Gorgeous. He quickly pressed his hand to his nose, properly stopping the slight bleeding that had erupted. "Sounds perfect. I'll see you in thirty, okay, Roxy?"

"Okay, Axy." Both momentarily grimaced at the equality of sugared-down names.

Sadly, much to Axel's disinterest, the conversation ended as both boys closed their cell phones. Roxas quietly retreated from the bathroom, rejoining the group of teens who were on their way out of the theater. "God…that sucked." Kairi muttered, pushing a handful of popcorn into her mouth, "It wasn't even like the first one…" She scowled, crossing her arms in a slight pout. Her bright eyes shooting over to the group that had now dwindled down to Tidus, glowering in the corner because Seifer had left half way through the movie with Hayner, Yuna, who was busily painting her nails an odd lime green color and Ollette who was editing various videos on her digital camera. Heaven knows Riku and Sora had been making out throughout the entirety of the movie, and were probably still sitting back in the theater sucking each other's face.

"Well," Roxas spoke up quickly, dialing numbers into the cell phone he had just hung up on. "I'm going to call Demyx, he'll give us a ride home, and me to my date."

A set of interesting looks turning in the blonde's direction, Ollette forgetting completely about her film clips, and Yuna began to screw the top back on her nail polish, listening intently.

"Date?" The chorus of interrogations began.

Tidus' eyebrow rose, eyeing his friend suspiciously. "As in, you, a guy, and an empty space?"

Roxas couldn't hold in his excitement. His head bounced up and down in a flurry of high-paced nods. "Yep." His grin was unbearable. "As in me, Axel, and an empty room."

Ollette seemed to get a devious twinkle in the corner of her eyes, as she fluttered to work on her video camera. "Need it taped? You know…It might get pretty stea…"

"No." Roxas replied sternly, holding his hand out to quiet the group as his older brother picked up on the other end.

Cough. "…Hello. Strife Residence, De…De…" Sneeze. "Demyx speaking."

"Hey-ya, Demy-kun!" Roxas grinned into the receiver of the phone call.

"Oh, Hi, Roxy." Demyx replied hoarsely from the opposite end. "Movie done?"

"Yeah…but that's not exactly what I called for…" Roxas murmured, eyes traveling to the ground as if he was ashamed of going against Cloud's decision.

"Total Romeo and Juliet thing going, right?!" You could hear the entertainment in Demyx's voice. "Well…except the fact that you're smack in the middle of the ghetto, Axel and You are both guys, and that I hope neither of you guys die!"

Roxas' mind went blank. "Yeeeaah…I'd kind of like it if we didn't die…" He let out a few choked back chuckles. "Give me a lift to my prince?"

"So, you want me to grab you, drop you off to Axel, and do this all without Cloud knowing?" Demyx was grinning at the slight adventurous setting and the deception that would come with going against Cloud.

"It would be greatly appreciated, Dem." He smiled sweetly, catching two figures exit the theater out of the corner of his eye. Sora and Riku, mouths still glued together in an almost never-ending make-out session, were walking in an odd sort of side-step over towards them; it was surprising they could even navigate with their mouths like that.

Kairi had been listening in on the entirety of the conversation and gave Roxas a satisfactory look. "As much as I hate that all the cute guys around me are gay as possible, I give you permission to take my obnoxious brother and never give him back. Trust me, I don't want him." She smiled, patting him on the back.

Yuna looked up from her nails, raising and interested eyebrow. "But there's one thing…" Her grin was caught by Ollete, whose own smile had a sense of murder in it.

Roxas' arms were seized in the next moment as Ollete pulled out her make-up bag and had begun to paint over his face with various liners and glosses. "Just a touch up," She giggled, having the blonde's arms released and stepping back to admire her slight work.

"Make us proud." Riku shot over from the corner where he and Sora had eventually stopped with the kissing. Sora was resting his head on the platinum haired beauty's chest, serenely sleeping on his warm body.
