Sunday Roxas didn't get out of bed. He mostly ignored his parents when they came to his room, just mumbling he was sick. Axel's treatment was mostly the same, save for the fact that Roxas allowed the redhead to touch him.
Axel rubbed circles on the blondes back and shoulders all day. He only left once to bring something for the blonde to eat, which Roxas only shook his head at. Axel continued his movement until Roxas scooted over and patted the space in the bed he'd just occupied.
Axel took off his clothes and slipped into bed, he bent his neck down and placed a kiss on the top of Roxas' head, he didn't say anything, only placed an arm around the blonde's waist and pulled him a little closer, he smiled when Roxas sighed quietly. It wasn't long before they drifted off into a peaceful sleep, they'd need their rest tomorrow.

At school the next day Axel kept his eyes open Riku. Roxas had gone straight to class. After a few minutes of searching he finally found the silverette standing out in the grass that was behind the school building. Axel walked over to where he stood, Riku didn't notice because he was facing the other direction. Once he reached the other teen he turned him around and punched him square in the face, sending him to the ground.
Riku stayed on the ground for a few seconds before standing to face Axel.
"What the hell was that for?" Riku yelled, but Axel's only answer was to take another swing at Riku's face, which was side stepped and countered with a kick to the legs.
Axel hit the ground hard, he tried to stand but a hard hit to the side made him go back down, Riku kicked Axel a few more times to make sure he stayed down.
"You're pathetic, Axel, not to mention stupid," Riku sneered, "Roxas will come to his senses eventually, and when that happens he'll realize that I'm the one he really wants. Though he made need a little persuasion, I know Roxas will make the right decision in the end."
Riku walked away leaving Axel lying on the ground. Axel remained still on the ground, breathing heavily through his mouth. He remained that way for a while, his thoughts racing. Once he felt that he could stand he struggled to his feet and staggered toward the school building to find Roxas.

Roxas sat in class trying not to fall asleep as his teacher drawled on about this or that. He glanced at the clock above the door and was relieved to find the period was almost over. The students most have noticed to for they were packing their things, some even stood partially from their seats ready to spring from their seats as soon as the bell rang. And spring they did. Once the first sound of the bell came students bound into the hallways, eager to be out of class.
Roxas remained in his seat however, hoping a certain redhead would come into the room, but what he received was a panting, brown-haired boy sporting a mull hawk. Otherwise known as Demyx.
"Come quick," he panted, "nurse's office," he gulped in air, "Axel dying." He stopped talking in favor of breathing in more air. Demyx walked out of the classroom slowly waving Roxas after him. The blonde looked confused but hearing Demyx mention Axel made him follow.

Axel wobbled into the building, supporting himself on the walls and lockers. He had decided to wait outside of Roxas' classroom until the bell rang but a glance at the one of the clocks positioned in the hall made rethink that idea. He moved slowly toward the front of the school, to the nurse's office to be precise.
"Zexion works there first period today, maybe I can stay there until Roxas is out of class." Though it took a little longer than usual, Axel made it to his destination in one piece.

Zexion had quietly reading when he heard the squeak behind him. Annoyed that someone actually came in while he was on duty, he turned to glare at the intruder, hoping to scare them away. Instead of glaring he gasped and his eyes widened. Axel gave a weak smile and wave to the smaller male.
Zexion's eyes reverted to their normal size, he stood from his seat and walked toward Axel. He began pressing the injured body gently, flinching when Axel hissed in pain.
"Go sit on the bed, I'll get some ice for you," Zexion grabbed a small bag from one of the many cabinets, then walked across the room to the refrigerator and scooped some ice into the back. He handed the bag to Axel and took his place in the chair.
"What the hell happened to you," the small male asked.
"Oh you know, just a small disagreement with someone," Axel answered, pressing the ice to various parts of his chest and stomach.
"A 'small disagreement' does not do all this," he gestured to the redhead, "now spill."
With a sigh Axel told Zexion what had happened earlier that day. A thick silence hung in the air once he'd finished, a silence which was broken by the door squeaking again. A head poked in, mouth formed into a lazy grin. The head, along with the body it was attached to, came through the door. Demyx walked into the room, not noticing Axel was in the room.
"So how's my little nurse doing today?" Demyx planted small kisses to Zexion's neck, which he following with a kiss to the lips.
"As much as I'd like to continue we have company," Zexion hissed and tilted his head to hide his blush. When Demyx turned around he was met with the sight of Axel's mouth hanging open, staring right at him.
"Oh hey, Axel, I didn't see you there," Demyx smiled and rubbed the back of his neck.
"How could you not notice me, we're in a room with all white walls, I have red hair."
"Well," Demyx walked behind Zexion, bent down and slung and arm around the small males shoulder, "I was so distracted by this hot piece of ass here-"
"What did you just call me?" Zexion growled.
"I called you what you are…is that bad?" Demyx's face looked a little paler than it had seconds ago. Zexion narrowed his eyes and stood from his chair, Demyx chuckled nervously but stopped when Zexion glared at him.
"You get nothing for a month," he growled down to Demyx. Axel snickered form his place on the bed.
"What do you mean nothing?" Demyx whined.
"No hugging, kissing, hand-holding, and no sex," he listed, emphasizing the last word.
Zexion had expected the sitar player to whine and beg, he was greatly disappointed when he did the exact opposite. Demyx howled with laughter, doubled over with tears leaking from his eyes.
"That's a good one, Zexi, we both know that within a week you'd come to me begging for affection."
"Oh we'll see who's begging when the month is over, this is now a bet," Zexion snorted. Demyx looked to Axel with a smirk on his face, thinking that his brother in dominance would return the gesture, which he did. Demyx's smirk dropped a slowly when he continued to look at Axel, he finally noticed how the redhead was bent over and how tired he looked. Then he looked at the ice he was holding.
Without saying a word Demyx darted out of the room and down the hall, he ran up the stairs, tripping on the way, and pushing other students out of the way as they poured from their classes. Once he made to Roxas' class he panting heavily, "I really need to exercise," he thought. Swinging open the door he immediately saw Roxas' golden hair, and Roxas heard Demyx's panting.
After a few panted words Demyx was out the door with Roxas at his heels.

"Do you think he did or said something drastic?" Axel asked Zexion.
"It's Demyx, what do you think?" Roxas burst into the room just as Zexion said those words, he darted over to Axel and began to shower him with kisses and gave him a tight squeeze.
"Demyx said you were dying…you don't look like you're dying." Demyx practically crawled into the room, still huffing.
"You told him I was dying, I'm just a little bruised up," Axel yelled to the tired out male. Demyx only shrugged his shoulders and walked next to Zexion, he tried to kiss short man but his lips met something hard and cold instead of skin.
"Did you already forget what I said?" Zexion lowered his book from Demyx's lips. Demyx sighed and went to slump against one of the walls.
"What happened, Axel," Roxas asked quietly. Axel patted the bed and Roxas sat, with a groan Axel told the story for a second time that day.

It was now Saturday, four days after Axel's fight and Demyx and Zexion bet. Axel and Roxas were lazing about the house trying to find something to do. At the moment they were on the couch, Roxas sitting with Axel's head in his lap.
"Do you think one of them has caved yet?" Roxas asked, curling a few strands of Axel's hair around one of his fingers.
"It's only been four days, I'm sure both of them can go that long without each other."
"Could you go that long without me?" Roxas whispered seductively, causing Axel to smirk and move into a sitting position beside the blonde.
"Of course not, it works with them because Zexion is full of self-control, I on the other hand," Axel leaned closer to Roxas, "have none whatsoever," Axel covered Roxas' mouth with his own in searing kiss.

Demyx was becoming annoyed. Four days without any physical contact with Zexion was a hazard to his health, really, he had epididymal hypertension like you wouldn't believe. And though he wanted to, he did not use his hand he wanted to brag to Zexion that he could go without anything.
With a frustrated sigh he stood from his bed, pulled on his shoes and headed out the door. It didn't take him very long to get to Zexion's house by walking, once he was in front of the house he scanned the area and found that his mother's car was not in the driveway, which most likely meant Zexion was home alone. He walked up to the door and knocked, it only took about five seconds for the door to open.
Zexion stood there wearing dark green sleep pants and incredibly large t-shirt. "Hey, Zexi, do you mind if I come in?" Zexion shook his head and moved to let the taller male inside. Music was playing soft and wordless from somewhere inside the house, "So where's your mom," Demyx asked making himself sound bored, when he really a hurricane of emotions. He bent down to pet Zexion's orange tabby Zelm who'd been rubbing against his leg.
"She went to a girls night out thing, one of her friends is getting married in a few days. I believe she described it as her last chance to come home drink and not be nagged at."
"Well that's nice," Demyx smiled and imagined Zexion in a frilly white dress. Zexion frowned a little at the dreamy look an his boyfriend's face. Demyx's thoughts of Zexion in a dress had changed to the two of them doing other, more suggestive things. The sitarist looked Zexion in the eye and said, "I think I just lost." He smashed their lips together, which surprised Zexion. Demyx took advantage by shoving his tongue into the smaller males mouth, followed by sucking on Zexion's.
Zexion moved his hands from his bed to Demyx's chest, they traveled downward slowly, fingers barley touching the skin. They kept moving until they reached the belt Demyx was wearing. Demyx broke the kiss and said, "You know once the belt comes off, there's no I'm stopping."
Zexion just smiled and started removing the piece of pleather around his boyfriend's waist.
