Roxas was awake and alone. He sat with his head buried in his crossed arms on the small wooden table in the front room. On the table in front of him was his phone. It hadn't moved or rang or done anything. But Roxas continued to watch it. The blonde's eyes got droopy and eventually fell. He slept for twenty minutes before being woken up by a loud knock on the door. With wide eyes he stood up and answered it, hoping for it to be Axel. He was disappointed.

"Roxas we need to talk." Riku allowed himself in. He sat on the couch and rested his feet on the table in front of the couch.

"Um…come in a I guess." Roxas said this sarcastically and sat next to Riku after closing the door behind the silver haired teen.

"It's Sora. He won't talk to me or tell me what happened that night. He just cried and cries and has locked himself in our room. I thought you were doig me a favor, Roxas."

"He hasn't said anything?" Roxas stood up and walked over to the door in a hurry.

"No but wait…where are you going?" Riku turned around in the chair and watched Roxas as he opened the door.

"I'm going to find out what we did." Roxas walked out and closed the door behind him, leaving Riku in the house alone. The older teen sighed and shrugged.

"Guess I better make myself comfy." Roxas ran down the street, rain poured down on him. He didn't have a coat on, just a white checkered jacket with short sleeves and a black body warmer with a zip. He bottoms were slightly too long for him, and the ends of the lengths had gotten wet already. He ran as a decent speed around another corner where he almost slipped on the wet sidewalk, recovering, he continued to run towards Sora's house.

Sora knows something and he feels guilty because of something I must have done… I have to find out what it was!

When the blonde reached the small apartment that Sora was in, he pressed the buzzer and waited in the rain. A small and quiet voice came on the other end. Roxas had to strain to hear it.

"Who is it?"

"Sora? Let me in, we need to talk."

"Roxas? Um…" There was a pause and Roxas sneezed. When Sora agreed to letting Roxas in, he heard a buzzing sound and opened the door. The teen ran up two flights of stairs before reaching Sora's door. He opened it without knocking and ran in, looking around for the brunette.

"Sora?" Roxas ran into the living room of the apartment and saw Sora sat on the couch, a new tissue clenched in his hand. Roxas glided over and leaned in closer to Sora's face. Sora winced as if he expected to get hit but instead, he got embraced. Roxas knelt down in front of him and wrapped his arms around the brunette, letting Sora cry all over him.

Roxas looked at the clock. He had been round Sora's house for around twenty minutes and Sora was finally able to talk without bursting into tears.

"Sora…I don't want you to feel guilty for something I did…I'm not even sure what I did do but…you can tell me right? Axel said something about you…" Roxas frowned slightly as Sora opened his mouth.

"Um, Axel spoke to you? What did he say? Was he mad?" This all came out so fast Roxas could barely understand it. He raised his head and looked away from Sora as he spoke in a hushed tone.

"Um…he was a little mad, but who wouldn't be, right? I mean…if he walked in on us kissing…-" Sora's eyes went wide.

He knows about it?

"Kissing?"

"Yeah, we kissed right? Axel must have thought I did it on purpose…Riku said I was spiked. Which begs the question…" Roxas turned his head to face the brunette. His eyes were serious and sad. Sora trembled at the thought of telling his friend his true feelings for him.

"Why were we kissing, Sora?" He said this so coldly, it made a shiver run up Sora's spine. He stirred a little and backed away a bit.

"Um…" Searching for an answer, a lie? It had to be.

"You were spiked…like you said. You were trying to tell me something about Riku and then you um…" He broke off and bit his lip. Roxas raised an eyebrow and blinked.

"What did I do?"

"You kissed me, Roxas."

"What?"

"You must have thought I was Axel because you called me it several times and pinned me up against the wall. It didn't hurt though. I haven't told anyone…why would I?" Sora rubbed his arm nervously, knowing none of this was true. Roxas went over what he had just heard in his head and blushed slightly.

"So I kissed you and Axel thought I meant it?" Sora shrugged and nodded.

"Yeah."

"I'm so sorry I kissed you, Sora. But you gotta understand, if I was spike-" Sora put a finger in the air to stop Roxas. He shook his head and tried to change the conversation.

"Um…but where is Axel now?"

"He left the house while I was uncons-" He stopped and looked at the brunette. "…I don't know where he went but I checked the room and he had packed his bags and taken most of his clothing with him. He must be round a friend's house but I'm just worried about him…" Roxas lowered his head and put his arms around himself, tears began to fall from his shut eyes. Sora gasped and reached over not get a tissue for the blond. Sora used one finger wrapped up in the tissue to wipe tears away from Roxas' eyes.

I caused this…

"He got so mad! I've never seen him like that before!" Roxas put his hands over his eyes and cried more. Sora's eyes filled with tears also.

All these tears…

"Roxas…please don't cry…I wouldn't be able to…-" Sora broke off again and wrapped his arms around the blonde.

It was another half an hour that had passed before Roxas waved goodbye to the brunette and left the apartment. His clothes were now cold because they had dried after getting wet from the rain. Roxas smiled sweetly but it was painfully obvious he was still sad. The streets seemed empty as he walked down them. Several people walked passed the boy as he moved his feet forward, one at a time with his head bowed and his hands in his pockets.

The only thing I can do now is wait until school and get on as normal until then. I'll have to go to work…go to school…without Axel stood there smiling with that goofy grin he always does.

Roxas smiled slightly as he imagined the tall redhead stood in front of him smiling with his arms outstretched. The blonde stopped walking and closed his eyes, trying to imagine harder…get a clearer picture. Without knowing it, Roxas raised both hands and lifted them in the air, as if he was hugging the air. A woman walked passed him and raised an eyebrow.

"Strange child." She whispered and carried on with her bags of shopping she carried. Roxas pulled his arms closer to his chest, as if hugging an invisible person in front of him that only he could see. But then reality kicked in, Roxas expected to hug someone but just managed to publicly embarrass himself. As if he fell into reality, Roxas opened his eyes and looked around shocked and humiliated. Blood rushed to his cheeks and he lowered his head and tried to continue walking without thinking anything more of Axel.

Gotta get home.

School bells rang and Roxas stood up out of his seat. It was the end of the school day. It was Monday, the day after Roxas found out HE had kissed Sora. At least he was TOLD that. Roxas sprang out of the room and ran as fast as he could down the corridor. They were still empty, the other kids hadn't gotten out of their rooms yet. He eventually got to the room he wanted, a big room with the door closed. It was on the other side of the school than Roxas' class and he was now out of breathe. He rested his hands on his knees and bent down to get his breath back. His bag slid off of his shoulder and onto the ground. He caught his breath, the door opened. Roxas stood to the side of the door so he wouldn't get trampled by a load of kids the year above him. This is where Roxas came when he and the redhead walked home together. This is Axel's classroom. About ten older kids rushed out of the class and shot passed Roxas as if he wasn't even there. A tall girl with bright blonde hair and two single strands spiked up and over her head came out with a pink haired man. She stopped and looked at Roxas as he waited for his Seme.

"Aw, isn't he just ADORABLE, Marly?! Look at his little face!" The girl bent down to Roxas' level and put her fingers on his chin, raising his head to look up at her. She smiled gleefully and stepped back letting the pink haired man bend down as well.

"He must be lost! We should take him home like a little lost puppy!" Marly grabbed Roxas' hand and pulled him towards the main door. Roxas pulled his wrist away and frowned.

"Let go of me." Both of the older teenagers stopped in their tracks and turned to face him.

"Oh, a little feisty are we? That's so cute!" The girl smiled evilly and bent down to his level again. Roxas looked at her then the boy as he spoke.

"Kinda turning me on, Larxy what do you think?" Roxas' eyes went wide. He stepped back into another taller person's chest. Two big hands rested on his shoulders and a loud voice came from above.

"Will you two leave him alone? Freaking weirdo's." Marly and Larxy both scoffed and stood up straight.

"What are you playing at? You would do him if you got half the chance you blonde whore!" Marly said this, he crossed his arms and a look of triumph hung on his face.

Blonde whore? Is that man talking to me?

Roxas frowned again and looked straight up to see a face he didn't recognize. The older boy stood behind him, protecting him wasn't who he thought it was. This new guy had a mullet and blue eyes. He was indeed blonde but a dirtier shade to Roxas'.

Do me? What the hell does that mean?!

"Nah, he's cute and all but I'm taken." The new blonde said this cheerfully while laughing to himself. Roxas breathed as sigh of relief as the blonde girl and the pink haired man walked off, both scoffing and growling. Roxas stepped forward and turned around to face the man.

"Um, thanks…who are you?"

"I'm-" The older blond was interrupted by a familiar voice called out a name to him. Roxas gasped, he knew that voice. Sure enough, a tall redhead walked out of the classroom with a small bag on his back. He took one look at Roxas and turned his head to the side, just to not look at him.

"Let's go Demyx." Roxas' eyes widened as Axel started to walk off out of the same door as those two older freaks did moments ago. Demyx chuckled and began to follow Axel.

I came here to speak to Axel and he's just walking away. I can't let him leave.

Roxas reached out and grabbed Demyx's sleeve. The older boy stopped and turned to look at the blond behind him.

"Demyx? That's your name?"

"Uh, yeah. The one and only, why?"

"Are you one of Axel's friends?"

"Uh huh why? You know him?"

"Yeah! He's my…-um." Roxas let go of Demyx's sleeve and dropped his hand. Demyx smiled and bent down to Roxas' level.

"You're Roxas, right?"

"Uh, yeah. How do you know?"

"Axel's told me all about you!" Demyx smiled happily and patted Roxas on the head.

"He's staying round my house if you're looking for him."Roxas smiled. He now knew where Axel was and that he wasn't homeless or on his own.

"Really? I'm so glad to hear that! Where do you live? Maybe I can come talk to him soon? Can I get your-" He was cut off my Demyx pushing his fingers to Roxas' lips.

"I'll give you my phone umber. You give me yours and ill call you tonight. He doesn't want me talking to you so it'll have to be secret. I'll tell you where I live and you can come get him." Roxas smiled as Demyx lowered his fingers. The boy pulled out his phone from his pocket and began to type in numbers as Demyx called them out. Just as he had finished, Axel came back in through the door and leant up against the frame with a bored expression, taking no notice of Roxas.

"Demyx, will you hurry it up?"

"Yeah, yeah coming." Demyx winked at Roxas and ran over to Axel. They both walked off, leaving Roxas once again…alone in the corridor.

He'll ring tonight…then I can get Axel back!
