Hard Life
The sun was shining on the Friday morning when they all gathered outside the house, the three teens lined up shoulder to shoulder facing Cloud and Leon.
"Alright you guys while Leon and I are at the packs meeting Dem is in charge ok, now don't give him trouble and Demyx don't give you little brothers trouble, we'll be back in 5 days."
"We've left enough food to last you and some money for extra food and whatever else," Leon looked the three teens in the eyes and carried on, "No parties, if we come back to find anything broken you're all in deep trouble, got it."
They nodded, Demyx helped Leon to pile the bags into the trunk of Leons' car, and Cloud turned to Roxas and Sora and whispered, "Keep him in line for me boys."
They grinned at him, "Will do dad."
Cloud nodded. Smiling at them he walked to the drivers side of the car and got in, Leon shouted to them as he got in the passenger side,
"See you guys on Wednesday."
They waved the adults off, "What time is Dem?"
"Ehhhmmm" Demyx looked down at this watch "Seven twenty four."
"Couldn't we just skip school today, pleeeease???" Sora begged, giving Demyx his large puppy eyes look. Demyx shook his head and dragged Sora to his truck. Roxas Stood, staring off in the direction his dad had driven off in, he couldn't help but worry a little. Demyx started the truck and honked the horn, Roxas jumped.
"Come on Rox we're going to be late! Now move!"
"Yeah or do I have to drag you over here," shouted Sora.
"Sora you can hardly drag yourself anywhere," Roxas climbed into the front with Sora and Demyx.
The drive to school was uneventful. They reached school with ten minutes to spare. Demyx parked his truck and climbed out, Ro got out his side followed by Sora. Demyx locked his car and ran for a trio sitting on the grass not far away, Roxas started to follow but stopped, Sora was leaning against the truck, rubbing his chest with a pained expression on his face.
"Hey Sor are you ok?" Sora looked up, and smiled brightly at Roxas, "No, I'm good Rox, no worries!" Roxas poked Soras forehead and looked him in they eye, "Sora, I'm your twin, I know when your lying, what's wrong?" Sora looked at hi for a second and slumped against the truck, "Well, it's just my chest is hurting and that keeps happening," 'that' as Roxas found out when Sora held up his hand and he saw it was clawed and the hair on the back of Soras hand was growing slowly and then started to change back.
"What the?!"
"Its ok, that's all that happens, I swear, it's been happening ever since the heat waves started a while back," Roxas raised an eyebrow. "Did you tell dad about it?" Sora bit his lip, "Well I told him about the hand thing, he said it was just part of like gaining control," he looked Roxas dead in the eye, "And you didn't tell him about your chest hurting?" e shook his head, Sora looked sad. Roxas sighed, "Well nothing bad has happened yet, but still make sure to tell dad everything when he gets back ok?" Sora nodded and beamed at his twin. "Come on then, I think Riku is getting anxious you're not on his lap." Roxas smirked at his twin, Sora hit him up side the head. "Yeah and Axel wants to.." but Sora never got to finish the sentence as Roxas slapped his hand over Soras mouth, as they came level with the four on the grass, but Axel had heard, "What do I want to do Sora?" Roxas yelped, "Ow, dear god Sora you bit me!" Sora pouted, "I couldn't breathe." He smiled at Riku and sat down next to him.
Roxas rolled his eyes, said eyes widened as a pair of arms wrapped round his waist and pulled him down onto a lap. Axels lap. Roxas went red as the Cheshire cat grin spread across Axels face. Demyx and Sora laughed, Riku and Zexion grinned. Before he knew what was happening he was being carried away and could only see the other four waving at him. He saw doors and windows, his chances of escape pass and then he was sat on a desk in an empty classroom. Axel was in front of him, hands resting on the desk either side of Roxas. His eyes wide as Axel lent forward till their noses were only a few inches apart, grin still on his face.
"Hey Roxie, how are you?" Roxas did not like the look on Axels face, he lent backwards, away from Axel. "I was good, until you kidnapped me." Axel pouted; he moved his hands to Roxas waist and pulled him back towards him. "That hurt Rox", Roxas was about to reply when Axels lips were placed over his own. Axel snuck an arm round Roxas's waist and the other hand threaded into the blonde locks, pulling his head back. The kiss started out gentle, then Axel started to move his lips, Roxas melted into the kiss and started to kiss back, his hands twisting into the scarlet hair, he felt Axel run his tongue over his bottom lip, silently asking for entrance, Roxas complied. As he opened his mouth Axel's tongue pushed in and they battled for dominance, Axel won and explored the wet cavern, Roxas moaned into the kiss and Axel felt a jolt of static down his spine, he started to kiss Roxas more gently and started the travel over his cheek to his ear, where he played with Roxas's ear lobe. He heard Roxas growl slightly as he bit his ear. He started to kiss down his neck now, nipping and licking, down to the joint were neck meets shoulder. Roxas tugged on Axels' hair and he moved till their foreheads rested against each other, both panting slightly. Axel concluded he liked the way the blush had settled over Roxas's cheeks, he then felt a hand grab his shoulder and tug him away from Roxas. "Dude that's my little brother you're molesting there, if you wanna live then don't." Demyx was smiling scarily at Axel who laughed when he saw ho red Roxas had turned. Demyx rolled his eyes and said "You two better calm down, class is like gonna start soon." The bell went at that moment as if to agree with him. Axel grinned and Roxas slumped into his chair, glaring at the blackboard. 'I always thought I liked Fridays.'
Half an hour into their third class of the day Roxas felt something hit the side of his head, he looked down to see a folded bit of paper, he opened and read, Hey how are you feeling now? Roxas turned and glared at Axel, who waved slightly at him. Roxas felt a second piece of paper hit him, curiosity got the best of him. Aw come on don't be mad with me
Roxas scribbled a note back and threw it at Axel,
I wouldn't be if you hadn't kidnapped me, a note was sent back
So you're not mad about the kiss then Roxas reddened,
I am so mad about that,
You weren't mad at the time, in fact it seemed to me like you were enjoying yourself, at this Roxas spluttered and glared even more at Axel and preceded to ignore the rest of the notes sent at him for the rest of the class.
Sora was in his prime, running up and down the pitch, kicking the soccer ball, scoring goals and generally enjoying PE. Riku clapped him on the back as he went off so someone else could go on, "Sor you were great out there."
"Thanks Riku."
"You ok? You look a bit pail."
At that moment Sora felt his chest constrict and the pain was excruciating, it felt like the warm ball of energy had become a molten ball covered in spikes, he felt his hands and feet starting to change, his toes getting crushed in his shoes. He stood up and ran wildly from the field, he ignored the shouts that came after him, he knew he had to find a secluded place to change, he charged round corners and flew past people headed for where ever he could be alone. It was too late though, he felt the change start, his bones and muscles sliding and stretching, he herd clothes ripping and fell to his hands and feet as the change completed, he was still running. His mind was clouded by panic and the wer instinct to get out of here to the house, back onto pack territory, back to safety, he just bolted out from between two buildings and felt arms wrap around his neck, the arms were trying to wrestle him to the ground. Fear spread through out his mind and his jaws found purchase of the humans shoulder ready to rip it out when he realised the blood tasted wrong, he held still. When his eyes had become clear he saw very familiar blonde spikes resting against his side, Roxas! He quickly let go of his shoulder and Roxas stumbled back, pain evident on his face.
-Roxas, Roxas I'm so sorry, I didn't realise oh god, shit- He looked around to see a crowd gathering, -Sora stay calm, is ok, Dem is getting the truck, we're going home ok, stay calm- Sora whined and nudged Roxas.
"Mr Strife, oh my Mr strife are you alright" Soras Hackles rose and he growled and placed himself in front of Roxas when the teacher tried to approach.
"Some one call animal control" the teacher shrieked,
"No its ok, he's a family pet, he just followed us to school and I saw him out the window, he got scared and I tried to calm him." Roxas had a firm hold on the scruff of Soras neck, "Sky didn't mean to hurt me, he was scared that's all."
"But your shoulder!"
"It's fine, he didn't get me too deep." At that point Demyx drove up and Roxas shoved Sora into the truck bed and sat with him, his uninjured arm round his neck comfortingly.
"Mr Strife I must protest, you need to go to the hospital."
"Its fine my dads a doctor." They didn't hear what the teacher tried to say next as they drove off, leaving the crowd behind. Sora looked back and saw Riku staring at him wide eyed, he look liked he'd had seen something horrific.
-Shit, I think Riku saw me change- Roxas's arm tightened round his neck, "What are we gonna do Dem?"
"I don't know Rox, shit"
-I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to, I just couldn't control it, I-
"Its ok Sor, we felt you panic, don't worry" Roxas was trying to comfort himself as well as Sora, stroking the chocolate fur of his brothers neck.
When they got home Sora couldn't change back, so he curled up on the decking, Demyx patched up Roxas the best he could and they set down next to Sora, watching as a silver car came up the drive. It parked next to the truck and Zexion, Axel and Riku came into view. Axel ran up to Roxas with his face full of concern, he took in Roxas's bandages and glared at Sky (Sora). "It's ok Axel, I'm fine." He looked at Roxas uncertainty etched on his face. Zexion stroked Sky's muzzle and looked to Demyx who was lost in thought. Riku crouched down next to Zexion. He stared at Sky in the eye then said "You guys…your family, what are you?" Sky who had been frozen raised his head to look at Riku then looked to Roxas and Demyx. He put his head on Roxas knee and shut his eyes, waiting for the inevitable. Axel looked at Riku as if he were insane. "Guess you guys better come in for a bit" said Demyx.
