As some of you may know, 8/13 is Akuroku day XD! And as most of you probably don't know 8/19 is when I go back to hell (school) DX. But when I go back I will still try to update weekly. As for Akuroku day, I will have a very long chapter for Always Glancing and maybe I'll post a little lemon ;).

The two walked down the hallway of their school, one had an arm wrapped protectively around his waist. The shorter of the two talked with a happy smile on his face, while the taller, also with a smile, listened to his love talk about all the fun they would have this weekend. He noticed the glares from a few male students, but just brushed them off.

"So after we grab your things what do you want to do?" The little blond said.

"I don't know, maybe we could go for a drive or just hangout in your room and "watch" a movie," the redhead said with a small smirk, causing the blonde to giggle.

"You mean, we can hangout in our room and "watch" a movie," Things had been going well for the two men, no more pestering from Xemnas or his lackeys. The most they ever got was a glare from Xemnas or an animalistic snarl from Saix when they passed each other in the hall.

"Hey, Roxas, Axel, wait up," they turned to see their Mullhawk wearing friend charging toward them, pulling his boyfriend, who was having trouble keeping up due his shorter legs, behind him. After bending over to catch his breath, he stood upright with a grin o his face, "Guess what I got."

"Demyx, just tell them because we both know they won't figure it out," Zexion huffed, still a little out of breath from running.

"Alright fine, Mr. Grumpy, I got tickets, four tickets to be precise, so that the four of us could go see, Maximum The Hormone!" He shouted, causing students to turn and look in their direction, "So you guys are coming with us right, I mean you don't have to but I'd really like it if you did."

"Of course we'll come, do you know how hard it is to get tickets for them, let alone four. Plus your inviting us of all the friends you have," Axel picked him up and gave him a huge bear hug.

"Great, so well have to talk about this more at lunch, we'll pick a designated driver and things like that.

"Alright," Roxas said over his shoulder, as he was being led away by Axel so they could get to class on time, "We'll see you both at lunch."

"So, Zexi, how 'bout we go to the bathroom and~"

"No, Demyx, we're going to class, I've never been late and I will not start now…..maybe after school," he grabbed the now disappointed Demyx's hand and pulled him to their math class, determined to keep his record blemish free.

Lunch came around quickly, and it was extended due to a, PEP RALLY! That was being thrown for the football team, so they would try harder to win the game against their across town rivals. The lunch room was quieter than usual, mostly because everyone was in the gym, cheering to the football team. After everyone was seated at the table, excluding Xaldin and Riku because of a kendo club meeting and Marluxia because he hadn't come to school that day.

"Alright, let's get this started," Demyx said pulling out a pen and a notepad, "First whose car are we taking?"

"We'll It'll need to be fast and have enough room for all of us," Zexion spoke softly but clearly, "Axel what about your parents Mustang, they'll be out of town again, not like it matters though, they'd probably let you borrow it anyway."

"My car it is, so I'm driving there."

"Then who's going to give up drinking so they can drive us home?" Demyx asked, looking at the faces of the three males around him.

"I will," Zexion said quietly, "I'd rather not become intoxicated and do something I'd regret afterwards."

"So it's settled, Axel will drive us there in the Mustang, and Zexion will drive our drunken asses back. The concert is Saturday at starts at 8:00 and it's an hour to get there, and then include the chance of traffic and stopping for gas and restroom breaks, we should leave around 5:30," they all agreed to this and Zexion smiled at how much better Demyx was getting at math and time management. It was agreed that Axel would pick up Roxas then Demyx and Zexion from Demyx's home.

Axel's home was just as he'd left it, except for the knocked over plant and the dog rolling around in the dirt surrounding the fallen plant, "Damn it, Renge, look at the mess you made!" Axel cursed, shooing the dog away from the mess, "Stupid mutt," the dog looked at him, head cocked to the side, and then she turned her gaze to Roxas, and stared at him for a moment. In a flash she bounded over to the short blonde and jumped on him. She attacked his face with slobbery dog kisses.

"Well that's weird," Axel said puzzled, "She usually doesn't like strangers, I guess you have a way with animals, I'll be back in a minute after I grab my stuff," Axel went down the hall to his room and grabbed a duffel bag, he stuffed shirts, pants and other things inside it before zipping it up. Before leaving his home he cleaned the mess Renge had made, watered the other plants, and refilled the large water and food dishes in the kitchen for Renge.

"Your house seemed lifeless," Roxas murmured to Axel on the drive back to the Strife household.

"Well yeah, Roxas last time I checked housed were inanimate objects," Axel laughed.

"No, Axel I'm not talking about houses getting up and walking away, I'm talking about the fact that there are no pictures. None of you, none of your parents, or of Renge, the walls are white and besides the plants, your house is deprived of color."

"My parents say pictures should be left in our rooms and that the living room should be clean and uncluttered by family things, I guess it's because they have a lot of busyness meetings here or something, they just don't think people need to see our personal lives."

"Oh," was Roxas' quiet reply, the rest of the ride was quiet, Roxas stared out the window at the passing cars, waiting for Axel to talk to him. Axel, with his hands on the steering wheel and eyes on the road, waited for Roxas to turn to him and offer a cheerful smile. Neither got what they wanted. After dinner and a hot shower, Axel walked into his room, Roxas was already in bed. They looked at each other, blue eyes staring into green and vice versa. Roxas sat up, eyes still on Axel's.

"Axel, I'm sorry for what I~"

"No, Roxas, what you said was true; my house can be pretty depressing," Axel said, crawling onto the bed and under the blankets. He caressed Roxas' face, and was pleased when the blonde leaned into the touch, "Alright, Blondie, time to go to sleep," Axel rolled over and turned off the light. They were both out within seven minutes.
