Orange Juice Chapter 5: So It Begins: Part 1, a kingdom hearts fanfic

A:N/ Hey guys, and welcome to yet another chapter of Orange Juice! God, I'm getting super excited about this. This chapter should be really good since A: I'm using an actual computer for once and B: I'm listening to indie music on 8 tracks. How can this get any better? QWQ

I'm really on a roll today! I just published a chapter for My Prince Charming is a Princess, so any Yuri fans if you want you can go check that out~ Oh, and for you guys that have been with me since the very beginning I will be reposting Someone Like You and Delinquents soon, so don't you worry your little adorable selves! For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, Delinquents was the most popular story I'd ever published besides this one but I just wasn't happy with it since I wasn't aware that you actually had to edit your stories for mistakes and mishaps and such at the time. XD Oh and Someone Like You was my very first story.

Ugh, you should have seen this one when I first published it. 16 very ugly, poorly written chapters. -.-

Anyways, enjoy!

The song is unknowingly about Axel by the way ;3

Chapter 5: So It Begins: Part 1

Aerith saw how exhausted Roxas was, so she assured him that she'd take good care of Adrian while he took a shower. Roxas was a bit hesitant at first, but Aerith was Adrian's mom so he trusted her with him more than anyone else. Once Roxas had adjusted the water and allowed it to poor down his back, he let out a pleasured sigh. It had been so long that he'd been able to do something like this without constantly watching his back. Of course, no matter how nice Aerith was, he would always have that bubbling fear in his stomach that Luxord would come back. That, that horrible man would come and subdue the boy only to torture him again. And even worse; That he would steal Adrian away and abuse him too.

Roxas shuttered and shook his thoughts away. I don't need to worry about him anymore. We're safe... We're... gonna be okay... And the only thing that could calm Roxas down in this state was music. He inhaled deeply, fluttered his eyes shut, and began to sing;

I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire because I know they'll never win
There's a haze above my TV
That changes everything I see
And maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me

Can we fast-forward till you go down on me?

Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

Can we fast-forward till you go down on me?

Taking everything for granted but we still respect the time
We move along with some new passion knowing everything is fine
And I would wait and watch the hours fall in a hundred separate lines
But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside

Can we fast-forward till you go down on me?

Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
and I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go

It's not fair, just let me perfect it
Don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive
'cause seeing clear would be a bad idea
Now catch me up on getting out of here
So catch me up I'm getting out of here

Can we fast-forward till you go down on me?
Can we fast-forward till you go down?

Roxas ended and opened his eyes to a bunch of steam. The water felt so good; He hadn't taken a shower in a week in fear that Luxord would strike him with his back turned. And he was always so tired after making dinner for Adrian, and making sure he had a bath that he usually just fell asleep beside his brother after he made sure he was safe. Some nights he wouldn't sleep or eat; That was obvious by the bags underneath his eyes and his thin stature. Sometimes he couldn't make himself. But this was normal to Roxas. This was life.

After washing himself, Roxas stepped out of the shower and wrapped the fluffy pink towel Aerith had gave to him around his waist. His clothes were all in the washer so he would just wear the towel for now. Roxas turned off the water and shyly headed out of the bathroom. Aerith gasped, "Sweetie, you're all skin and bones! Oh no, this won't do. We must start an emergency operation! Sora honey, get the cookies!' Aerith called toward one of the bedrooms and a small boy with very spiky brown hair similar to Roxas' ran out, grinning like a cat.

"He needs food, stat! I'll start making a feast~" Aerith giggled as Roxas was backed into a corner. The blonde boy was bewlidered by the small, grinning child but he smiled down at him. "Oh no that's okay-"

"But mwommy says you nweed cookies!" Sora gave Roxas a determined look and shoved a cookie in the air as high as he could towards Roxas. Roxas couldn't help but chuckle at that, "Well if you insist," Roxas took it, "Thank you."

"B-Bwubby?" Adrian peeked his head out from behind a wall and slowly walked towards his brother, "How do I look?" Adrian was standing there in a tutu and some ballerina slippers with a leotard and pink painted nails. Roxas had known about Adrian's desire to dress up like that for a while now. He was always supportive, but he just never had enough extra money to buy all the stuff.

"A-Adrian..." Roxas' eyes started to well up with tears and he ran over to his brother, scooping him up in hs arms as he did so. "You look beautiful. I'm so glad you finally got to do it..."

"Bwubby... Can it bwe like this forevwer?"

"It most certainly can." Aerith answered for Roxas and pulled both boys into her arms, along with a bubbly Sora. "Our family... I've beem dreaming of this for 4 years now. 4 long years..." The smiling woman began to cry tears of joy. Roxas cried with her. He never imagined that it would be like this, or... that it could even be like this. He never thought that things would look up. He never thought that he would be able to bask freely in the sun's rays. He never even thought the sun would come. But sure enough it was here, and it was so indescribably warm.

And that night after they'd all stuffed themselves with Aerith's delicious cookies, they all fell asleep in Aerith's welcoming arms, including Roxas.

It felt so good to have a family. A real family.

The next morning, Roxas was awoken by the sound of a doorbell. He groaned and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, but he couldn't move. He could feel a bunch of weight on his chest and stomach. "W-What?" The bewlidered blonde opened his eyes and let out a soft chuckle; Adrian and Sora were sprawled out on his stomach. Sora's hair was basically glued to his forehead and Adrian had lipstick all over his face.

"You guys are silly..." He smiled and gently moved both small boys off of him and to the bed. They immediately clung to each other and continued to sleep soundly. Roxas chuckled a little and tiptoed out of the room. "Morning Aerith~" The blonde teen yawned and smiled a little. He really hadn't smiled so much ince childhood.

Aerith frowned, "I told you sweetie, call me Mum!" She laughed and flipped one of the pancakes she was making.

Roxas laughed with her, "Sorry. Who was at the door?"

"Hm? Oh, your nice friend! The tall redheaded one-"

"Axel?" Roxas asked and tilted his head to the side and tightened the towel that was still around his waist.

"At your service, kiddo~"

Wait...

"Ax.. el?" Roxas slowly turned and found the cheeky redhead standing behind him. Roxas was literally flipping his shit. There Axel was all dressed and looking actually very attractive in his black muscle tee and gothic bondage pants ( Attractive?! Shut up mind! ) and Roxas was in nothing but a mere towel! Oh god, he was gonna kill this dude...

"Came to pick ya up for school! You didn't forget about us, did you?"

"D-Demyx..?"

"Oh yeah, and he brought a friend!" Aerith giggled again.

Sure enough, that blonde bastard appeared out of nowhere with a grin almost as wide as Axel's. But Roxas didn't think it was possible for anyone BUT Axel to be able to achieve that amount of wideness.

"Dang Roxy, you're really hot without any clothes..."

"Yeah, not bad!"

Roxas freak out in...

"G-Go wait in the living room would you?!" Roxas hissed in a hushed tone so he wouldn't wake up the boys. He sighed and marched into his own bedroom with a face as red as Axel's hair itself. He bit his bottom lip, "I-I can't believe he saw me... Demyx is okay, but Axel..? Wait... What the hell am so worried about Axel for?! W-We're both guys... It's not like I..." Roxas' eyes widened; Did he like Axel? Did he even like guys? Everything was just so confusing.

Calm down Roxas... Calm down... You're gonna have a good day... You'll be fine... You do not like Axel.

"Alright let's do this..." Roxas inhaled deeply and began to get dressed. This was gonna be a long day, he knew it.

"I-Is this good?" Roxas walked out of his bedroom but haulted his steps when he heard people talking.

"Roxas? Oh yes, he's very talented. When he was singing in the shower last night, I couldn't believe my ears!" Aerith giggled, "He really is an amazing child. Im very happy to be able to have him here. I've been waiting so long to see my boys... With us, blood doesn't matter. Roxas is my son wether he likes it or not." Roxas could hear the smile in her voice. God, he felt so lucky. He couldnt have asked for a better woman to adopt him into her life. She was so kind and amazing... It was all so foreign to Roxas, but nice.

"Roxas really is a good kid. I hope this doesn't sound weird, but we've had our eye on him for a while now~" Axel chuckled and Roxas blushed for the second time that day. Why was Axel so confusing? And sweet? A-And attractive? Roxas' heart was beating so fastly he thought he might die. This was just a crush. A phase. Puppy love. And Roxas was gonna wait a while, until he put his heart on the line again.

"H-How does this look?" The blonde teen came out of hiding and shoved his hands in his pockets nervously. Roxas was wearing a black, long sleeved t-shirt, some black baggy jeans, a black beanie, and some black converse. Everything the blonde wore he either made or scavaged from a thrift shop. Axel's eyes widened and he could've sworn he saw the redhead's cheeks turn the slightest shade of red.

"Amazing!" Demyx grinned and held a thumbs up.

"Aww, you're so cute!" Aerith smiled and hugged Roxas close.

"I-It looks really good." Axel mumbled shyly and scratched the back of his neck bashfully.

"And at that note, let us go!" Demyx grinned excitedly and scooped Axel and Roxas into his arms.
