Chapter 10! The chapter of the Gamble of Fate! Lol… But! I am so very sorry this got out so late . I got grounded… So yeah! But it is up now! I was listening to a crap load of Yellowcard and Blood On The Dance Floor and stuff like that while writing this… So… If it seems like, odd, that is why! Thank you everyone for reviewing and favoriting! It makes my crappy, sad, cold, rainy days.

"Why was Riku there?" Axel asked me, as we were getting ready for bed. "Didn't you live in Traverse Town?" Axel spit the remaining toothpaste from his mouth into the sink.

"I don't know why he was there… It was weird… But I was glad to see him! He got really depressed after… Sora's death… I never really saw him before I left." I put my toothbrush back in the holder. "They were dating for a few days before Sora passed… But they were in love since, like, seventh grade." I couldn't tell if Riku had a grudge, or just came to visit. Lets hope he came to visit…

"Only a few days? Wow, I feel bad for the poor kid. And you of course, since he was your brother." Axel wrapped his arms around my neck. "I hope he doesn't want to like, have revenge or something… It's not like it was on purpose…" Axel gave me a kiss. It was short and sweet. I felt save in Axel's warm arms. I felt like, I could spend the rest of my life in them, looking into those brilliant green eyes.

"I love you."

"I love you too." Axel smiled, kissing me again.

"Other people need to use the bathroom too, y'know! It is not a make-out corner!" Demyx giggled, standing in the doorway.

I blushed, stepping out of Axel's arms. "Yeah, yeah! Come on Axel. Before Demyx has a break-down." Axel and I walked out of the bathroom and into our bedroom. I plopped down on my bed. "Soon, we need to get flannel sheets. It's getting cold."

"Yeah. It's almost December… Christmas is coming up!" Axel smiled, but it quickly vanished. "But I need to stay here… No family of mine will want me home…"

"Why? Why wouldn't your family want you to come home for Christmas?" I sat up on my bed.

"They said so their selves. Before I left that was the last thing my mother said. 'Don't think we will let you in the house at Christmas'. So I'm not going." Axel closed his eyes. "Not like I need them."

That sad that Axel's own family doesn't want him home for Christmas! I don't want him alone here over break! That would make him feel worse…"Come with me for Christmas! My family would be more than welcome to have you! Especially when you are my boyfriend. My mom though, she can be very… Hyper and exited and stuff…"

Axel shook his head. "I can't interrupt your family's Christmas. It's not right of me to do. You should spend time with your family. And not worry about me." Axel laid down on his bed.

I jumped onto Axel. "No! I am not letting you stay alone on freaking CHRISTMAS! Family holiday! You can meet my other siblings… In my letters I wrote about you a lot. Saying how special you are to me. And how you really made my school year." Axel smiled. "Pllleeeeaaassee!~"

Axel rolled his eyes. "Okay! Okay! I will go to your house for Christmas!" I pretty much crushed Axel in a giant hug. "Rox… Roxas…"

I let go. "Sorry about that…But you mean it? You're coming?" I felt like I was going to explode into a bunch of confetti!

Axel nodded. "Yes! I will. I promise." Axel smiled. "I promise Rox!"

"Yay! Thank you!" I kissed Axel really hard. "Crap… I LOST THE GAME!"

Axel pushed me off his body. "Thanks Roxas… Two month streak… I lost the game!"

"I'm sorry! But those were the rules!" I stood up from the ground. "Well… I'm going to bed now… Night Axel."

"Goodnight Rox." I turned off my light and went to bed.

The next morning, I woke up at my regular 11:30 routine. Axel, Demyx, and Zexion were at the table dinking coffee. Axel smirked. "Morning Rox. Want some coffee?" I nodded, grabbing a coffee mug from the drawer. I poured my coffee into the mug. I sat down with the rest of my friends.

"So we heard you and Axel are spending Christmas together." Zexion smirked, sipping his coffee. "That's sweet."

I nodded. "Yeah. I didn't want Axel all alone on Christmas!" I smirked at Axel, Axel smirking back. "So, I decided to invite him over!"

"That's really kind of you Roxas!" Demyx smiled at me.

"Yeah, Rox. I really appreciate it. Thank you." Axel put his coffee mug in the sink. "Did you even ask your parents?"

"No. I'm calling them tonight." I said, pouring more coffee. "They'll say yes."

Axel nodded, walking into the living room.

I sighed. The doorbell to our dorm rang. I quickly ran to see who it was. I looked through the peephole. Riku?

I opened the door. "Riku! What are you doing here?" I smiled at the silver head.

Riku put his hands in his pockets. "Just wanted to know what you were doing today… Just wanted to catch up…" Riku said. I could hear a bit of sadness in his voice. It had been like that since Sora died. He never really got over it. Come to think about it, neither did I.

"Um… I don't think I have any plans until later tonight. What did you have in mind?" I let Riku in.

"Like, we could get lunch… Then I would bring you back." Riku said, brushing his hair out of his eyes with his hands. "If you want…"

"No, I want to! I haven't seen you in like, months!" I smiled. "Just let me get ready. You can hang out with Axel in the living room."

Riku nodded, walking to the living room.

Axel's POV:

What. The. Hell.

Riku stood there, in the hallway. No. Freaking. Way. No Roxas. Please. Don't talk to him! And of course. He talks to the evil-looking guy!

"Hi." Riku walked toward me.

"Hi. What are you doing here?" I flipped through the channels on TV.

"Roxas and I were going to lunch to catch up." Riku's voice is so deep and creepy… It gives me the chills…

"Oh… Just bring him back by 6. My friends and I are going out to dinner." I yawned. Coffee really doesn't do much when it's decaf…

Riku nodded. Roxas walked from the bathroom. "Axel, I'll be back before 6! Okay?" Roxas smiled, heading out the door with Riku.

Who know it would be the last time I saw his smiling face before it was all black and blue.

A/N Creepy Riku! I wonder what is going to happen with Roxas! Will he get his ass kicked? Or will it just be an accident? Well, you have to read on! Oh, and I am thinking about doing an after story type thing with this… Like, based on the song, "Dear Bobbie" by Yellowcard. I don't know if I should though… Review and tell me if I should… I am really wondering… Oh, did you catch the quote? Muahahaha! Well, thank you for reading! :D It really means A TON! Love you all and see you next chapter!
