Our Life chapter 5

The room was silent, Roxas was pacing, and Sora was huddled on the rug near the door as if ready to bolt if trouble started. Demyx was on the couch, arms crossed and a slight frown set on his face, he was unusually tensed. Axel and Zexion watched Roxas pace out the corners of their eyes, both were worried but for two different reasons; Zexion knew what could happen if Roxas got to angry and didn't control it, Axel was just worried about his injuries, surely Roxas shouldn't be walking around right now. Riku sat and stared at sky, he then turned his sharp eyes to Demyx and said simply, "Explain."

"Well first tell me what you think you saw and then I'll do my best."

Riku clenched his fists and growled, at which Roxas snorted. "I don't think I saw something, I know what I saw!!!" Roxas walked over to the couch and sat down next to Demyx crossing his arms and legs, locking himself in place so he could try and keep controlled. "Well then tell us what you saw then." Roxas stared emotionlessly at Riku who glared back. Sky whimpered. "Sora was running, I followed trying to catch up, he started to double over like he was in pain, his started to like grow and his clothes started to rip and the next thing I knew I was chasing after that dog." He pointed to sky who growled, his hackles rising.

"Woa Rox are you ok?" Axel had spoken and was up and crossing to Roxas who looked like he was trembling, Sky had bolted round the couch and was in front of Roxas barring Axels path, Axel backed off and Zexion pulled on his arm and brought him back to the couch. "That dog is not normal." Said Riku.

"If you want to leave here with all your limbs stop saying that Riku." Demyxs voice had a warning tone in it. "What that he's a dog? Well he fucking looks like one!"

There wad a fierce growl; a ripping sound and Roxas felt the warm energy turn molten. He saw the dawning comprehension and then fear on Rikus face as he watched Roxas change into a great blonde dog. Roxas felt a sick pleasure at the look on Rikus face and he lunged at Riku. A pair of strong arms wrapped around his torso dragging him back and sky had gotten a hold of Roxas's neck and was pinning him down, Roxas struggled against his bonds to get to Riku. He herd shouting but it sounded far away, his animal brain trying to decipher the angry voice, "God damnit Riku, what the fuck did I say!?!?" Roxas felt tugging round his torso, Riku was frozen in shock, Roxas was growling wildly, teeth bared, hackles raised, his claws digging into the hard wood floor trying to gin leverage to get to Riku who started to back away, Roxas's eyes dilated, 'a chase, oh fuck yes, let me chase you.'

"Riku stay still, Axel Zexion get the screen doors open now!" He heard the two run to the doors and open them. Roxas became aware that Sora was trying to talk to him, he shut him out, Roxas felt Demyx tug on his torso and gave an almighty heave and pulled Roxas outside, Sky keeping his hold on Roxas. With the trio outside Demyx shouted back to the house "You three get back in the house now and shut the screen door." Axel hesitated, a mixture of shock and concern on his face, "GO INSIDE AXEL," he moved liked he'd been electrocuted.

"C'mon Rox calm down, he didn't mean it like that, he's just a dumb human who doesn't know better."

-Roxas please, control it, don't let it happen again, remember last time, please I don't want to see you like that again, please. -

Demyx stilled as he felt Roxas shudder and freeze. Sora saw the anger and the animalistic blood lust leave the cerulean eyes and backed off, Demyx let go and walked round to crouch in front of Roxas next to Sky. Roxas felt his mind unhaze, everything was getting clearer, what he'd done 3 years ago, what he had wanted to do now to Riku, how that would have hurt Sora. His legs gave out and he fell to the ground, tears spilling from his eyes as he whined pitifully. He was shaking, whining, he trembled in fear of what he might have done, again. Sky lay down next to him and nuzzled his neck in comfort. Demyx pulled Roxas forward and into a bone crushing hug, "Shit Rox don't do that again, you had me scared." –m'sorry- "Damn right, you are" Demyx pulled back grinning, "I didn't like the idea of having to chain you up to a pole in the back yard." Sky hummed in amusement, Roxas rolled his eyes, too weak to do anything else. "I'll go get you some water, kay?" Roxas nodded and Demyx got up and walked to the living room screen doors opened them then disappeared into the house, Roxas shut his eyes and put his muzzle beneath Soras. They herd footsteps come closer, Roxas opened an eye and saw Demyx with Axel Zexion ad Riku following closely behind. Roxas tried to back away but Sora stopped him –It's ok, Dem explained, the dog thing too. - Roxas watched apprehensively as the four stopped and Demyx crouched down, placing a bowl of water in front of Roxas, he started to drink, he felt Sora stiffen next to him and he looked up, Riku had knelt down in front of Sora and was looking him in the eye, -I'll nip him for you if you want Sor. - Sora looked at him and gave a wolfish smile, Riku sat back and watched the twins exchange a silent conversation, he looked round to Demyx, "Are they talking to each other right now?"

Demyx nodded, "Yeah, Roxas is offering to rip you arm off if you hurt Sora in any way." Riku looked round, his eyes wide, "In other words he's saying he trusts you with our secret and with Sora," explained Demyx. Sora suddenly bolted to the house, the others looking after him, "He's changing back."

"What about Roxas? When will he change back?"

"He says he doesn't know and he also says to tell you he can understand what your saying you idiot." Demyx had his usual grin back on his face. Sora came back out the house now human and clothed, he hesitated at the decking, Riku stood up and walked over to him, he said something and Sora beamed at him, they settled on the bean bags, Zexion lead Demyx away to the trees near the pond and Axel was left standing looking into the cerulean eyes, he knelt down and reached out to pet Roxas. Roxas backed away, his ears drooping, tail low.

"I'm not afraid of you." Axel said. Roxas snorted, he turned and walked away, Axel followed. "I thought it was the puppy was supposed to follow me around, this is backwards," he laughed, Roxas turned his head and looked at him, he bent his head to the ground and picked up a stick and chucked it at Axel. It hit him rather hard in the chest, "Ow, Rox that hurt." Roxas snorted. He continued on towards to fields. Axel followed and stopped at the fence and watched as Roxas sped off, running round the fields. Axel sat on the fence and watched as Roxas ran and at one point watched as he chased a rabbit across the field and felt himself squirm a bit when he saw Roxas eat the rabbit. After a while Roxas trotted back over to Axel after cleaning himself and nudged the boys leg. "Time to go back?" Roxas nodded and vaulted the fence. When they got back to the house they saw Sora and Riku were asleep on the beanbags, actually Riku was on the beanbag Sora seemed quite comfy lying across Riku. Demyx and Zexion were deep in conversation under the tree. Axel stood grinning at the sleeping duo and turned to see Roxas's tail go through the door to the living room. 'Jeez I have to do a lot of chasing with this kid', he rolled his eyes and walked into the house and up the stairs, when he got to the top he realised he didn't know where Roxas's room was, he checked each room as he went by, first room had one double bed and multiple pictures of the family, 'Cloud and Leons room I guess', the room opposite was painted blue with posters of bands on the walls and a guitar rested on the bed, "Dems room." The third room had a vanity table, a couple posters on the wall and one bed, "Lorene's room, better stay out of here." opposite that one was a room with two beds, paintings on one side of the wall and sports posters on the other side, "Nams and Kairi's room." He was about to open the door next to it when, "That was my mums room for work." Axel turned and saw Roxas in black 3 quarters lengths and a printed black t-shirt leaning on the doorway of what was obviously his room. He was staring at the door a sad smile on his face. "What did your mom do?" Roxas turned his eyes on Axel, "She made jewellery, charms and that sort of thing, she made me this," he brought his right wrist up into view, "She said it would help protect me." Axel took his hand off the doorknob, he saw Roxas looked sad, "Hey smile for me Rox." Roxas looked up at Axel, he smiled very slightly then turned round and walked over to his bed a sat on it, "You can come in you know, I don't bite." Axel raised an eyebrow, "Well" Roxas smirked darkly. "I'll try not to." Axel walked into the room and sat at the head of Roxas's bed, leaning on the backboard, he looked into Roxas's eyes, "So you're a werewolf then." It was not a question, rather a statement. Roxas lent against the wall at the foot of his bed and smiled at Axel as if daring him to make a joke of it. "Axel I'm surprised, you're not making a joke of me or running off screaming about demons." Axel smirked, "I'm not am I, though I think I sorta knew there was something different about you." Roxas snorted. "To think you were that dog," Roxas stiffened at the word, "Sorry, you see that as an insult, sorry, but still," he laughed, "I actually first met you at the supermarket."

Roxas raised an eyebrow, "What are you getting at?"

"Nothing Rox, nothing."

"Riiiight."

"Silver, is it your weakness?"

"No."

"And you can choose when to change?"

"Yes, though if we don't change enough we get forced to and the same we cant control our tempers."

"And if you bit me, would I become like you?"

"No, the bite is one part of it, then you have to exchange blood, if I bit you the venom would kill you, you'd need wer blood in you to survive."

"What about the full moon?"

"Makes us stronger, that's bout it really."

"So most of the stuff written is wrong?

"In some ways."

"Do I want to know?"

"Im sure you do but I think I've told you enough for today, Me and Sora will already be in deep shit, me more so."

Axel's brow creased, "Why?"

"Well we might have been able to get away with it and make Riku think he was seeing things, but then I lost my temper and well you know."

Axel reached forward and put his arm round Roxas's waist and pulled him onto his lap, with Roxas's back to his chest he rested his head on Roxas's shoulder,

"I'm glad I know." He started to nuzzle Roxas's neck, Roxas started to blush, badly.

"Kn-know what?"

"You…and your secret." He started to kiss Roxas's neck, Roxas shuddered as Axel slowly kissed and nipped at the hollow of his neck. Roxas moaned slightly when Axel tugged on his earlobe. Axel moved his hand down Roxas's chest to the hem of his t-shirt and ran his hand slowly up under the garment, lightly dragging his fingernail up over Roxas's abdomen, drawing lazy circles on his chest. Roxas couldn't help but moan Axels name, "Ax-axel, oh god." Axel smirked into the blondes neck then whispered in his ear, "You memorised my name then, good cause I'll have you screaming it in no time." He bit Roxas's ear, he saw Roxas's hands clench on the bed sheets. "Axel we-we can't." Then in a blur Axel had turned Roxas round and was now being straddled by Axel, Axel reached up and ran a thumb over Roxas's cheek. "You look real cute when you blush like that." Roxas went a deeper red at this and Axel smirked. Axels mouth descended onto his, the kiss was gentle, Roxas threaded his fingers into Axels hair to bring him closer, Axel slowly ran his tongue over Roxas's bottom lip, asking for entry, Roxas moaned in to the kiss giving Axel the opening he needed, they battled for dominance for the second time that day and Axel won again. He slipped an arm round Roxas's waits and cupped his face with the other hand, then Roxas did something that Axel had never seen coming, he rolled his hips up into Axels, whose eyes widened and he broke the kiss, he felt his face grow hot. Roxas had the sexiest look on his face Axel had ever seen, "What did I scare you?" "Like hell you did." Axel kissed him again, this time harder and more passionate, he returned the favour this time and rolled his own hips downwards. Roxas stilled, he could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, he managed to push Axel up and off of him and fell off the bed in the process just in time to see Sora and Riku walk through the door. Riku looked from Axel on the bed, hair slightly ruffled, blushing, legs crossed and looking slightly irritated, then to Roxas on the floor looking very red and surprised. He caught Sora, who seemed to be oblivious to what they had just walked in on, by the collar of his shirt, "Yeah nice room Sor, come on, I'm hungry can we go to the kitchen?"

"Huh oh yeah sure," Sora walked out the room his hand in Rikus, who looked back and mouthed 'You owe me' to Axel. Roxas sighed in relief and went limp on the floor,

"Thank god for Sora being unobservant at times."

"Can't say the same for Riku." Roxas looked up at Axel, eyes wide.

Axel helped him up off the floor and sat down back on the bed, Roxas standing in front of him.

"He wont say anything, will he?"

"Not with the threat you may rip his head off."

Roxas scowled, "That was an accident." Axel noticed the mood change then changed the subject. "When are your dads gonna get home?"

"In five days, they're at a pack meeting."

Axel's eyes grew wide, "Wait so there are more of you, wer, out there?"

Roxas smiled at the shocked look on Axels face, "Yeah small families like mine all over the place." Axel looked stunned, Roxas pushed Axel back against the wall, still smiling and lay down next to him, his hands behind his head. Axel looked down at Roxas and smiled. "So it's just me, Sor and Dem till Wednesday, and it's a holiday next week too, hmm." Roxas was interrupted from his thoughts when a hand started to trace shapes on his stomach, he looked to his right at Axel who was watching him, his hand still moving over Roxas's abdomen, he bent down and kissed Roxas lightly on the lips,

"You know what my mum used to say?"

"What?" Roxas asked.

"Everything happens for a reason."

"Everything?"

"Apparently." Axel smiled down at his blonde, "Hey Rox?"

"Hmm?" Roxas had closed his eyes, enjoying the gentle movement of Axel's hand on his stomach. Axel looked down at him, "Do you like me?" Roxas looked up at him, he blushed slightly,

"A bit I guess."

"A bit? What bit then?" Roxas saw the Cheshire grin on his face and hit said face with his pillow.

"Pervert!"

"You love it really."

"Like hell I do!"

Axel stopped him from talking by kissing him again, to which Roxas responded with a shard jab to Axel's side.

"Ow!" He fell off the bed, rubbing his side, Roxas got up and walked out the room, looking over his shoulder he smiled down at the red head on the floor, "Come on pervert, dinner time, I guess you guys are sleeping over as well."

Axel stared after Roxas as he strode out the door, sleeping over. He broke out in a huge grin and scrambled after Roxas, catching him at the top of the stairs, kissed him, "Well Rox I know what bit of you I like."

Roxas smirked at him and walked down the stairs and met Demyx at the bottom of the stairs, he stopped and stared at Roxas then looked to Axel and a huge grin broke over his face, then said "By the way Axel, if you hurt my lil bro I will hurt you." He walked off. "What brought that on?"

Axel came down the stairs at directed Roxas to the mirror next to the stairs and walked into the kitchen as Roxas stared in horror at the state of his neck, three purpling marks were on his neck, he went beat red then yelled so loudly the mirror almost broke, "AXEL I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
