Chapter Three

Roxas was snuggled against Zexion he was half asleep when the silver haired male moved under his weight. A car door slammed and Roxas' eyes shot open. "Shit! Demyx is home!" Which meant Sora would be home as well. He flew off the couch and grabbed his clothes from the floor before throwing on some pants and taking off down the hall. "Zex, get the hell off the couch!"

Zexion had already gotten himself dressed. He was much used to Roxas' family showing up at random times of the day. He basically put clothes on as soon as Roxas fell asleep after their fun times.

"I'm not hiding from Demyx." Zexion called after the small blond. "I told you; he doesn't think I'm-"

"A complete ass that has no idea what he's doing with his life you're right." Demyx's voice came from the front door with a smirk. Zexion chuckled lightly and threw an arm over his eyes as the lights were flicked on. "Did Roxas manage to split Riku and Sora up?"

Zexion nodded through the slight headache he was forming. "Yeah."

Sora bounded down the hall to his bedroom giggling the whole way. When he reached Roxas' bedroom he knocked. "Roxas, can I stay the night at Riku's tonight?"

Roxas threw a clean, white shirt on before opening his bedroom door. "What's up little one? Have fun with Riku?"

"Yea, the movie was okay. Can I spend the night?"

Roxas walked down the hall to the small living room. Demyx was already sitting on the couch, his feet sitting on the coffee table. He was done for the night. "Sora wants to sleep over at Riku's."

Demyx waved a hand and Sora yelled in excitement. "Awesome!"

Zexion sat up sourly, "Really, you're going to let him come over?"

Demyx smiled with closed eyes. "Less work I have to do if he's over there. Just make sure Riku doesn't murder him and it's all good."

Roxas chuckled slightly and rubbed the back of his neck. Well, what could one ask for with Demyx as a brother? At least he worried about the kids' well being. There was a sudden knock on the door, so Roxas moved to answer it. As he opened it he froze in horror staring at a familiar red head.

"Roxas, right? You dropped some stuff and-" Roxas slammed the door before he could finish. Axel, Axel Rhodes was at his house. "Hey! Wait a minute; I'm not here to tease you, Roxas!"

Axel slumped against the door for a moment before he heard movement from within. Someone was yelling at Roxas for something. He stood straight when the door reopened and he smiled quickly. "Don't slam the door!"

"I'm not going to." Zexion muttered scanning Axel quickly. "Who are you?"

"The name's Axel, memorize it." He spoke as he held the books out. His proof that he meant no harm to anyone within.

Zexion took the books from Axel's outstretched hand and sighed, "No thanks."

Ouch. What was wrong with these kids? The red head stuttered for a moment before composing himself. "Alright, I think I may have upset someone. Let me try this again."

"No, we just honestly don't care who you are." Zexion pushed the books into Roxas' hands and sighed. "I have to go home. Thank you for hanging out with me today. It'll be worse next time if the red comes back."

Roxas stared at Zexion stunned. "Oh…uh ok." He looked back at Axel not sure he understood what was going on. "Thank you by the way. I dropped these on the way home and forgot them." Maybe he should at least attempt to be polite then.

"Don't have to state the obvious, Roxy. Consider it a friendship gift alright? I didn't mean any harm coming here."

Roxas looked at the inquiring Demyx within before stepping outside and shutting the door. "Do not call me that. I will not hesitate to hit you." The ice was back in his voice. "My name is Roxas, not Roxy."

"It's called a nickname, kid. Don't take it too harshly."

"No, don't call me that. I don't do nicknames, so shut the hell up."

Axel cracked his knuckles with a sigh. This was not as easy as he had thought it would be. "Okay, okay so no Roxy then. Look, about earlier, my friends weren't trying to be mean. I hope we didn't offend you or anything."

Roxas sighed and shook his head opening his front door again. "No offense taken, I don't like people. Now go away."

He shut the door before Axel could say anything else. The spiked, red head groaned slightly and shook his head. The most interesting boy in the school was the one that refused to talk to him. Sighing he pulled his car keys from his tight, black pants and headed for his car. Next time he would get him to hold a conversation with him; next time for sure.

Roxas let out a sigh and avoided Demyx's questions about the stranger. Heading to his room he put the books on his desk and paused. Wait a minute, just how did Axel Rhodes know where he lived?
