*Swearing and hinted Marly X Axel *

Fatefully yours

Chapter 4

Other end

Axel signed putting his black messenger bag down on the wooden dinning table. He all but fell into the chair, with heavy eyes and a tired grunt. He really wanted to go to sleep, and he really wanted it now. But, hopefully, Luxord was going to walk in the door at any moment. Although it was late, Axel wanted to look for an apartment. Luxord was off the next day, and he was supposed to be... but things happen. But, hopefully, Luxord would walk through the door, before that redhead could fall asleep.

Trying to keep his mind elsewhere, Axel pulled out his homework. It wasn't due till Monday but starting it on Friday wasn't a bad idea. His teacher, and long time friend, Vexen, had decided on a whim that his students weren't fully comprehending the chemistry notes they had just taken. He assigned them each a thousand word essay. Axel tried, after most of the students left the class grumbling, to see if he could weasel his way out of it.

Vexen gave him that all knowing look as if to say I know you're off tomorrow you should be doing homework and not partying, that's what a grown up would do.

Having to impress his friend, he announced. "I'll do better than a thousand words. Your best student has to be over the top, after all."

Although after getting home and slumping forward to rest his chin and sloppy notes, he began to wish he could take those words back.

"Urgh, I blame Vexen. He's know how to push my buttons for a long time." He yelled to himself.

After a few minutes of self-pity, his mind wondered to his phone. He had never texted that boy back. Not that he had any intentions of doing so... at least at first. But now, it gave him something to do.

'Yo had a blast at that rockin' club thanks to you!' He sent to Roxas.

Luxord's day went by smoothly for the most part. When his gambling friends asked him to join their poker game, at lunch, he kindly refused. Although he loves the sensation of gambling, putting it all on the line, he had work.

He worked, at a small bar a few miles from the college, as a bar tender. He rather liked his job. Girls would openly flirt with him and some daring males too. The only downside was he had to find another place to drink.

His sifted had ended a little later than expected... Okay a lot. Alex was gonna be pissed. They were supposed to look for an apartment at six. By the time he got out to his rusty red car, it was past nine.

At first he didn't think Axel was home. There were no lights on and no sign of movement form inside. But whenever Axel was late coming home from work, with was more often than not, he would text. The redhead was always telling him to do the same because it was considerate. What did that brat know of consideration anyways?

Luxord had to think of something witty to say, lest his friend blowup in his face. Or worse blow up his face. The read head's fascination with fire was deadly. Ever since the first time Axel 'accidentally' caught the curtains on fire, the Brit had a fear of coming home to nothing but ashes and a grin on is roommate's face. That gleam in his eye as the fire climbed the curtains, scarred Luxord forever. Needless to say, Axel played for all of the damages.

As he opened the door he noticed Axel at the table, setting down his phone. Luxord's first thought was to ignored his phone, but it didn't go off. So he smiled . "Afternoon, love. Did you miss me?"

"I was hoping you'd be home earlier so we could go out, but I just got home as well." Axel waved the Brit and his sappy comment off. It was a lie, but small so it wouldn't matter.

Luxord sighed. "It's almost ten poppet. If you want to go to a bar that's one thing, but can't we look tomorrow?"

"It shouldn't matter to you, since you're off tomorrow." The pyro pushed his head off the table, leaned back, and folded his arms over this chest.

"Aren't you off as well?" Luxord turned back from removing his black trench coat. "That's why we wanted to do it today and the next."

"Well that was correct, but Marly is apparently sick again. I'm the, quote on quote, only person that could cover for him." Axel added air quotes when he said the word sick. "Since we're friends I won't say anything and he knows that."

Luxord rolled his eyes. He knew what happened between those two, or rather what was still a small tthing. "That's a shame. When do you work?"

"Early. That's why I can't go to the bar tonight. We'll still look after I get off right?"

"That's fine poppet. I'll just have to ask someone who can hold their alcohol to drink with me tonight." The Brit teased.

Axel blushed as Luxord walked over to their small shared bathroom. It wasn't like he couldn't handle alcohol... Okay maybe it was. But did Luxord have to tease him every time they went out together?

Axel's whole hand vibrated, as he realized he was still holding his phone. He looked at the message, mouth slightly opened. Needless to say he was speechless.

'HI HI HI! I'm Sora, Roxy burst out laughing, I stole his phone, blah blah blah blah! Anyways how old are you? Gotta protect my little brother!'

After a moment passed, Axel laughed.

'21'

'Ooo so mature! His bout we be friends? I'll text you from my phone later. Oh don't respond to this I'm deleting this message. Next time you'll be texting Roxy.'

Axel laughed at this 'Sora's' behavior. Roxas had such a funny older brother. It made him wonder how old Roxas was. For all he knew he could be texting a twelve year old. Which would totally explain why he was so nice.

"I'm leaving. Have fun." Luxord said exiting the bathroom.

"Wait, how about we go to dinner, you can go to the bar after dropping me off?" Axel stood, he already had his leather jacket on, he hadn't bothered to take it off.

"No no, you should stay home and sleep."

"What about dinner?"

"I'm only going to the bar." Luxord sobered.

"Come on"

"Nope." The Brit opened the door. He was able to race to his car before Axel could open the door. The redhead watched as Luxord's car sped away.

Inside his phone vibrated. 'Sorry, I know it was rude of me to ask.'

It seems like the last message wasn't the only one Sora deleted. Axel chuckled to himself. 'Lol np. But since you know my age I'd like to know yours.'

'17 in a week.' Axel was shocked. Sora was the older brother? Was that even possible? Finally he came to the conclusion of 'not by much'.

'So close to freedom!' He sent, deciding not to mention Sora.

His phone vibrated before he even finished sending the text.

'It's Sora!'

Axel laughed. He really couldn't handle both of them at once, it was just to much to ask. He quickly typed another message to Roxas. 'GTG have to work early tomorrow. Night.'

The red head then turned his attention back to the hyper older brother. 'Good evening Sora.'

'Heya! So how did you and Roxy meet?'

'I accidentally texted him a few days ago.'

To that he got no response.

At four in the morning Axel got a text. Before even looking at his phone he assumed it was Demyx. Only three people were stupid enough to contact him at four i the morning, good god he only had another hour to sleep. Luxord and Marly knew he had to work, damn Marluxia, so it had to be the dirty blond.

He cracked open an eye to look at his phone. He couldn't even tell if Luxord was home.

'Do you know a Cloud Strife?'

'No, why would I? I'm pretty sure that we are not in the same time zone.'

'Really? Where are you?'

'I'm in fucking England. Do you know what time it is? It's four in the morning!' He felt bad, but Axel was not a morning person.

'Oops sorry, it's only eleven here.'

'It's okay, but I'm going back to sleep.' After that Axel dropped his phone on his pillow next to him and rolled over.

A five hour time difference, that could complicit thing.

Well truth be told, I had this chapter ready about half an hour after chapter three was out. But I was holding out hope for reviews. It really upset me that only 9 people made it to chapter four.

So on that note, I'd like to thank my two followers VioletterWriter and DeuceMs. I'd also like to thank my two reviews... from the first chapter princesslolitatheorca654 and Chriss-Meister... thanks guys!

Anywhoo reviews flames and help with plot are welcomed. Feel free to pm me!

Don't own kingdom hearts... or do I?

No No I Don't.
