Chapter Five

There were more buildings, less landscape. Roxas was quite unsure of his surroundings as he walked along a well beaten path through God knows what. Through alleys, past buildings, these were most definitely not trees. Roxas had long lost sight of the fiery, red haired male. He could hear him ranting about something, but he couldn't actually see him.

The roads and streets led through some alleys before stopping suddenly. There was a large enclosure near a river, something Roxas hadn't been expecting. Axel was gone; he couldn't hear him or see him. Great. He checked his cell to maybe call Demyx, but there was no signal.

"Of course."

Roxas stepped forward to get a better look around and strong arms grabbed him from behind. Roxas opened his mouth to yell, but there was a hushed whisper in his ear. "I found your brother."

Sora? Roxas recognized the whisper, Axel. Roxas looked to where the red head pointed and was more than surprised to see Sora and Riku near the river. Sora was draped across Riku's lap, head against the others chest. How was he sleeping? Only minutes ago he had been awake. Roxas suddenly understood what Axel had been asking in the car; Sora and Riku was apparently a thing.

He slipped out of Axel's grip and walked towards the long, silver haired kidnapper. Sitting next to Riku, Roxas ran a hand through his spiked, blond hair. Riku looked at him and then jumped slightly, his cheeks reddening.

"I can explain!"

Roxas sighed and shook his head, "Shut up. You kidnapped him to bring him here? Why?"

Riku shrugged and watched the sleeping Sora. "Someone at school told me about this place. Its good luck for people to come here and I thought…I thought Sora would like to watch the sun rise."

The kid hadn't made it that far. The sun was only just now coming up, the sky streaked with pink and red. It was quite the sight. "Sora doesn't know how to stay awake in the morning. Your best bet is to watch the sun set with him."

Riku watched the older blond before nodding slightly. "So….you are okay with this then?"

How was he supposed to say no to that? Riku looked exceedingly worried that Roxas was going to tear him a new one. Then again, no one knew about his and Zexion's relationship. Maybe it would be a lot easier to understand if Riku knew Roxas was plowing his older brother. Rubbing the back of his neck he opened his mouth and Axel plopped down next to him with a grin.

He threw his lanky arm around the blond's shoulders and chuckled. "I told you I would find your brother."

"How did you know where he was anyways?" Roxas asked lightly. He shoved Axel's arms from his shoulder and pulling his knee to his chest.

Axel shrugged, "When I heard they'd run away together I knew there was only one place they would go. This spot is pretty popular for couples to hook up."

Roxas left eye twitched as he looked over at Riku. As if reading his mind the long haired teenager yelled, "No, no, no! Don't get the wrong idea I wouldn't have done anything to him! I swear! Not unless he wanted me to, I mean no! I wouldn't have done anything to him even if he did!"

The look on Roxas' face was priceless and Axel couldn't help but smile slightly. He kept his hands to himself even though he didn't exactly want to. "How are you getting home, Riku? I do want Sora home tonight. You can't take him from me just yet."

Riku nodded and rested his head on the mess of brown against his chest. "I wouldn't take Sora from you, Roxas. He needs you as much as you need him, so don't worry okay?" Riku sounded so down, so sad.

Roxas looked down feeling bad. Was he keeping Sora from a real life? He watched the ground intently before nudging Riku. "You can have him after he graduates, okay? Not before."

Roxas was staying for Demyx, he didn't want that life for his brother. Riku nodded and Roxas let out a sigh standing. "I need to go home, Riku. I'm tired and cold. Watch out for him."

"Of course."

He left the boys there, noticing Axel follow after him slowly. "Are you okay, Roxy?"

Roxas' blue eyes narrowed as he snapped a glare at the crimson haired boy. "Don't call me that! Leave me alone and stop calling me that!" It was early morning, he was beyond tired, and now he was depressed as all hell. "Just take me home, Axel. I want to go back to bed."

"Right." Axel's eyes fell as he headed for the car. "Come on." He moved ahead of Roxas and focused on walking. Well, he hadn't exactly gotten on the terms he wanted, but he tried hadn't he?
