Roxas's pov

"Are you going to hide behind that tree forever?" Axel called while we were waiting for Riku and Sora to show up.

"No," I paused. "Just until either you spontaneously burst into flames or Riku shows up. Which ever comes first." I wouldn't really mind if both happened.

"You know that happened to me once," he said after a moment of awkward silence. What. The. Fuck.

"I doubt it was spontaneous. You have got to be the biggest pyromaniac I know," I responded rolling my eyes.

"No really, I have no idea what happened, but suddenly my jacket was on fire. It's probably the coolest thing that has ever happened to me." I could tell he was smiling.

I actually got out from behind my tree just to make sure he hadn't hit his head. "Are you still high?" I asked him when I didn't see any blood.

"Nope, but its nice to know you care," he said smirking.

I would have said something back, but Riku and Sora showed up just then.

"AXEL!" There was a flash of brown and suddenly Axel had his arms full of a very hyper Sora.

"Sora I just saw you yesterday," Axel laughed hugging Sora back.

"Careful Sora, too much contact with such an ignoramus, and you might turn into one," I said. Sora just looked at me shocked, probably because thats more than I usually say to him in about two days.

"A what?" Axel asked.

"My point exactly," I muttered.

"No really what does that mean? Not all of us speak super smart kid language!" Axel said.

"It means idiot," Riku said rolling his eyes. "Come on Roxas," he said then grabbed my arm and dragged me to his car.

"Dude, I want to leave too, but what's the rush?" I asked, trying not to fall over from being dragged.

"I need to talk to you."

Great explanation. "Alright, but can you loosen your grip on my arm? It kinda hurts," I said as we reached his car.

"Sorry," he let me go, and I climbed into shotgun.

We sped to his house.

"I have missed this place," I said as I dropped myself onto his sofa.

"Ithinkilikeyourbrother!" Riku said so quickly I couldn't understand him.

"Come again?" I asked looking over at him to see if he was okay.

"I said, I think I like your brother." He paused. "As more than a friend."

I looked at him for a few seconds. He seemed nervous. I wasn't sure if it was about my reaction to the news, or just admitting it out loud.

"Alright. So what are you going to do about it?" I asked calmly.

"That's it? You're not upset that your best friend has a crush on your twin?" He questioned, looking relieved.

"Well no, not really. I'm glad actually. At least I don't have to worry about hunting someone down for hurting my brother." If I were though, I would use flaming knifes. Wait, could knifes even catch fire? Whatever. (A/N haha Axel is rubbing off on him he wants to use fire!)

"Is your brother even gay?" Riku asked.

At this I started to laugh. Riku seemed to take this as a bad sign, because he hung his head in defeat. "Yes he is gay. He came out of the closet about . . . um I don't know four maybe five years ago," I said reassuringly. "I also think he likes you!" I added.

"Really? Why do you think that?" Riku asked with hope in his voice.

"Well I'm smart, and I predicted this would happen before you guys even met." I said, as I grabbed a bottle of water from his fridge.

"So you wouldn't be mad if I asked him out?"

I pretened to get upset. "Are you joking? This is my brother your talking about. I would be beyond pissed!"

"But you said-"

"Dude I was joking. No I wouldn't be mad." We smiled at each other before pulling out Call Of Duty.

Axel's pov

"I have a crush on my brother's best friend," Sora told me sounding very upset.

"Yeah well I have a crush on my best friends brother," I muttered at I sat
down. We were at my house. "And he hates me," I added.

"No he doesn't . . . I'm sure he just . . . He might . . . I don't know what to
say." Sora finally gave up on trying to deny it.

"Thanks for trying," I said.

"I'm sorry."

What a depressing lot we were.

"If it helps, he hates our dad more," Sora offered.

"Oh yeah Sora, that makes me feel much better," I said sarcastically. "Sorry." I added, seeing the hurt look on his face.

"Its not like it matters anyway, your brother is straight," I said getting up
and grabbing a beer.

Sora gave me a disapproving look before speaking. "No he's not."

My head snapped up. "What do you mean he's not? He made it very clear to me the first day I met him that he was straight," I said, remembering him saying so.

"He lied then. Most likely to get you to leave him alone. Riku told me Roxas is bi. He has no reason to lie to Riku."

I simply stared at Sora for a few seconds. "That son of a bitch," I muttered in disbelief.

"Hey!" Sora protested.

"Sorry, just shocked." Then I grinned. "This means my chances just increased quite a bit."

"Yeah all you have to do is make him stop hating you!" Sora said happily.

"It shouldn't be that hard."

"Have you met my brother?"

"Thanks alot Sora."

"Sorry."
