Chapter Four

It was early, too early to do anything. "Roxy, hey Roxy, I'm hungry we should go get some food."

Why was that voice familiar? Roxas rolled over in his sleep mumbling about pancakes and then grabbing what he thought was his pillow. When he realized his pillow was abnormally fleshy and warm he jerked back, smacking his head on the wall.

"Shit!" It was five thirty in the morning on a Saturday. Why the hell was he awake? He grabbed his head groaning and then opened his eyes to a laughing Axel. Axel was in his bedroom now? "Why are you in my house?" Roxas growled letting the blanket fall into his lap.

He had fallen asleep dressed last night thankfully. He turned red just thinking about what could have happened. "I came to get you for breakfast."

"Are you allergic to sleep or something?" Roxas hissed shoving Axel's good natured hand away. "Didn't I tell you to go away or something?"

"Technically I did, I leave when you told me to yesterday."

"How did you find my house?" Axel was not making his case any easier. In fact, Roxas was getting more and more irritated by the second. Plus, now his head was pounding.

"Come to breakfast with me and I might tell you." Axel winked flirtatiously and waved a hand. "I don't spill my best secrets to people who don't like me."

Roxas didn't like Axel Rhodes; he hated the spoiled, little, rich kid that was Axel. He'd had no reason to hate the crimson haired male besides the fact he was rich and popular, but for Roxas that was just enough. For Roxas who only had Demyx and a crappy house he couldn't help but be a little jealous of Axel's luck when it came to family.

"Are you seriously going to make me go this early in the morning?" Roxas' eyes were on the verge of closing again. "I went to bed too late for this shit."

Axel grinned slyly and slid onto the bed throwing an arm around Roxas' shoulders. "I can stay here with you then, I'm more then okay with that."

Roxas bristled slightly and shoved Axel back pulling to the corner of his bed. "Get the hell out."

His door flew open and Demyx stood in the doorway. "Hey, Sora and Riku ran away."

What? Roxas raised an eyebrow and stared at Demyx. His older brother's mullet was a complete mess, the front spiked at all angles, his clothes a mess, and his eyes half open. He wasn't even totally awake yet.

"Are you dreaming Dem?"

He tossed his cell to his younger brother and Roxas picked it up. Zexion was on the other line apologizing profusely. "I didn't mean to fall asleep first! I'm sorry; Riku must have convinced him to do it! Rox, I don't know where they went."

Roxas let out a sigh and closed his eyes. Riku was always talking about getting away from DestinyVille. He hated the small town, hated the people, but really he hated his father. The drunken idiot didn't know what he had in those boys.

"Did your dad yell at Riku again?"

"No, he passed out early."

Right, so they could take the beach out of the equation. Riku only ever went there when he was yelled at or hit. Roxas thought for a moment before letting out a sharp breath. Axel's head was on his knees, when had he gotten so close.

"What happened, are you okay?" Zexion asked quickly.

Roxas shoved Axel's face making him move, "Yea, it's nothing. I'll get dressed and start looking. Maybe Sora took his phone."

Zexion was quiet for a moment and then Roxas heard some things fly through the room. "Both of them have their phones, but Riku won't answer."

"Yea well, Sora will."

Unless he wanted to break Roxas' no hitting rule that is. Roxas stretched and stood Axel standing with him. "Want help searching, Roxy?"

Roxas was about to decline but Demyx spoke for him. "The more the merrier."

Roxas glared at the smug looking red head. He stood there in his black shirt, black pants, and piercings looking like he'd won the damn Olympics. "Seriously? Why can't you just leave me alone?"

"I'm doing it for the kids, Roxy. Don't be so self centered all the time. Come on, we can take my car."

Roxas groaned and followed Axel out of his bedroom and down the hall, now what? He was going to be stuck with Axel all day looking for his brat little brother. Why would they take off together? When they got in Axel's red mustang and took off down the road.

"So before we go too far I should ask are your brother and this Riku a thing?"

"A thing of what?" Roxas asked already irritated. He sat as far on the edge of his seat as he possibly could. "They don't do anything for things."

Axel chuckled and shook his head running a hand through his crimson, red spikes. "Oh man, Roxas. You really are a bit…innocent huh?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" The blond shot angrily. "I'm not anything!"

Axel rolled his eyes; he was damn cute when he got worked up though. Taking a turn he shrugged, "I think I know where they went."

"What, how?" Roxas sat up straighter, his blue eyes shining curiously. "What makes you think you know?" He was beyond skeptical.

"I know teenage boys well enough to get a general idea." He sounded too sure, a bit smug. Roxas rolled his eyes and went silent again.

He was going to murder Sora for making him get up before eight. His phone vibrated suddenly and Roxas grabbed his phone quickly answering it. "Sora?"

"Hey! You're awake; I really didn't think you would be." The brunette sounded confused as to why his older brother was up on his own.

"That happens when Zexion calls me and tells me you've run away! Where are you?" Roxas yelled rubbing his eyes. "Tell me Sora!"

"I'm with Riku don't worry about me. We went on a vacation."

Roxas bit his lip and took a deep breath. "Please Sora, I'm really worried. Please tell me where you are."

Axel took a sharp right and honked his horn. "Whoo! Come on, we aren't far." He jumped out of the car and took off down the dark trail. What the hell?

"Axel, wait!" Roxas struggled with his seatbelt before jumping after him.

Sora spoke quietly, "Are you okay?"

"No, hang on, Sora shut up!" Roxas yelled hanging up the phone. He was going to be beyond pissed if Axel took off. "Axel come back, I don't know where we are!"

They weren't in DestinyVille anymore that's for sure.
