The next two days passed rather quickly, Roxas had been in a good mood ever since the note in his locker on Thursday, and you know what happened Monday? When he opened his locker there was another note. It read "I love that smile of yours. I'm glad to see you smiling. You're so strong, stronger than I ever imagined of being. Keep it up. I love you." Roxas smiled wider thinking of the note, it was now Saturday the night of the HEArtS concert and Roxas couldn't be more excited. He had been bouncing off the walls he was acting like Sora. Roxas was wearing his white skinny jeans and black HEArtS band tee and on his wrists he wore the checkered bracelet his childhood best friend gave him and five bracelets that had something to do with HEArtS. One had the band name and the others had the band members names, on his other wrist he was wearing about a million (give or take a few hundred :D) gel bracelets or 'sex bracelets' as they're more popularly known as. Roxas styled his hair and was jumping around his twins' room as they listened to a HEArtS CD. Cloud walked in and smiled.

"You're going to see them in less than an hour, why are you listening to their CD?"

Their song Picture Perfect ended and their next song Feel My Heart came on. Sora Roxas and Cloud grinned and started to sing along.

"You make me d the strangest things." Roxas sang

"Our friends all agree you control me." Sora sand

"That's not how, I want it to be." Cloud sang

They continued the song until Roxas' phone beeped marking the time they are supposed to hit the road. "LETS GO!" Roxas and Sora yelled jumping off the bed and running down the stairs. Cloud sighed but smiled and followed his younger brothers. As he grabbed his keys he said bye to his mother.

"Bye mom, I love you."

"I love you too Cloudy, tell Roxas and Sora I love them."

"Okay mom."

Maria almost cried watching her sons pull away she turned to face her husband of twenty years. "Terra, can you please stop drinking?"

"Shut up bitch!" Terra yelled in a drunken rage. Maria sighed and walked up the stairs. If he wasn't going to change she was going to leave, she just wished she could take her sons, but what she was doing would be best, or so she thought.

Cloud pulled up to Zexion's house and honked the horn; their short friend rushed out of his house and smiled sliding into the back seat next to Roxas. "Thanks for picking me up Cloud."

"No prob now let's go watch HEArtS!"

Everyone in the car laughed and talked until Cloud reached the crowded parking lot of the 20 and under club Cloud cheered in triumph as he found a spot and parked. They quickly walked to the door and showed their tickets and were escorted to their seats, front row middle center, everyone in the audience was waiting for HEArtS to come on and when they did everyone screamed and cheered. Roxas was one of the loudest ones; seriously, he was louder than the girls. Demyx walked behind the piano, Leon grabbed his guitar, Riku took his bass, and Axel held his special microphone that had flames that decorated the sides.

"Hey guys!"Axel said into the microphone with a smile. "The first song we're going to sing is one of our newer ones and it's going to be on our next CD. It's called 'What Hurts The Most' and I have to thank my band mates for staying up for two nights in a row writing this with me and putting up with my mood swings because we all know how I get." Axel laughed and Roxas almost died. "Well I hope you enjoy it!" Axel smiled again and his eyes were closed and it seriously looked like the emoticon with the two triangles for eyes except so much cuter. The music started and everyone was silent when Axel started singing.

"I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house. That don't bother me." Hearing the HEArtS on the radio and on CD's and on T.V. was nothing compared to hearing them in concert. Roxas almost fainted hearing them. Axel's voice was magical. It was so beautiful that it didn't even sound like it belonged to a boy like Axel. And every time Axel looked to the middle and smiled Roxas swore he was smiling at him. When they finished everyone was cheering.

"I take it you guys liked it?" Axel asked with a laugh. But after he laughed his face became serious. "Now, I visited a high school about two days ago and I heard the word fag used so many times. And it was always directed towards one kid. Now what I am about to ask you guys is serious and I will not judge you, but please answer honestly. Who here is gay?" only about ten people raised their hands, Zexion Sora Cloud and Roxas were four of them. Everyone in the audience was shocked when Axel raised his hand and even more shocked when Riku Demyx and Leon slowly raised theirs. The whole audience was silent and Axel continued. "Who here is 'out' of the closet?" Roxas and Zexion raised their hands, along with the band members of HEArtS. "Who here is bullied because of it or was bullied because of it?" Roxas raised his hand along with Axel. Axel knelt on the stage so he was looking at Roxas. "Were you ever hit? Spit on? Abused? Just because you were gay?" Roxas couldn't find his words so he nodded instead. "Does your father or mother hate you for it? Blame you for putting shame on your family? My parents did. It sucks doesn't it?" Roxas again nodded. "Are these your brothers?" Cloud spoke up seeing that Roxas couldn't.

"Me and him are." He pointed to Sora. "But that's our friend."

Axel nodded. "You're not alone. Remember that okay? You have two brothers and a friend, and by the looks of it, you guys are close, no?" Roxas nodded. "Good. That's all you have to remember, oh and, one day, show everyone they were wrong. Make something out of yourself; it's the best pay back in the world." Roxas nodded with a small smiled and Axel stood up. "Now, this song I wrote for every gay person who's being bullied out there, and just for everyone. You don't have to be gay to like the song. But what I saw at the school was the reason I wrote it so I hope you enjoy. It's called 'Knives and Pens.'" Axel smiled before starting to sing. It didn't sound like the music they usual sang.

"Alone at last we can sit and find I've lost all faith in this blurring line."

"Stay right here we can change our plight!Storming through this, despite what's right!"Riku screamed into the microphone. [A/N: I know this song isn't really about gay people but I couldn't think of one that was and this one had the whole locker thingy and bullying thingy in the video so I figured it wouldn't really matter. ^_^]

When the song was over Roxas couldn't help but think that it might get people to stop bullying him. It was a small hope but it was still a hope.
After the song was over and the crowd got over the shock they cheered louder than ever.

"Wow." Axel laughed. "I hope we can top that."

They sang a couple more songs and after about three hours it was over and Roxas couldn't be sadder. He was actually having fun, that didn't happen that often.

"Okay, so I was told before the show only four people bought backstage passes so we're doing something different then the whole meet and greet thing we usually do, the people who bought backstage passes show it to Frank and you'll be showed down to where we'll all be hanging out and you get to spend a couple of hours with us! So congratulations! And thank you all for coming I hope you enjoyed!" Roxas was jumping up and down with glee and Cloud smiled.

"Come on kid, let's go." They all walked towards Frank and showed him their passes Frank took them and looked at them before smiling.

"Okay kids, right this way." He led the way down a hallway to a door marked 'Axel Flynn's dressing room. Please knock.' Frank knocked and Leon opened the door. Cloud almost fainted when he noticed Leon was glowing with sweat and was shirtless. (Ewe sweat. Oh well for the sake of the story it's hot! Besides, imagining Leon sweaty… mmmm! Hehe)

"Hi guys! I'm Leon, but of course you knew that. Come on in." the four boys walked in and noticed all of them were shirtless and sweaty.

"Sorry that we're shirtless but it gets hot on stage. Hey aren't you that kid that Axel was talking to?" Demyx asked.

Roxas nodded and looked down.

"Hey kid!" Axel said placing a hand on his shoulder. "Like I said, you got people here for ya! Plus I want ya to know, you're not alone, I went through the same thing. More or less. But this will just make you stronger kid."

"T… thanks…" Roxas blushed a bit.

"So wacha wanna do?" Demyx asked sitting down on the long couch.

"Wanna watch some movies or something?"

"Sure. Wacha wanna watch?"

"Anything's fine." Cloud answered.

"You guys could sit ya know." Axel commented looking at the four boys at the door. When none of them made an attempt to move Axel got up and gently grabbed Roxas' hand and dragged him to the couch and because Roxas was next to Sora and subconsciously grabbed him and dragged him along. Cloud almost laughed at the whole thing until he realized someone was trying to pull him and grabbed onto Zexion and did the same thing Roxas did. When Roxas looked around he noticed he was sitting in between Axel and Riku, Sora was sitting in between Riku and Demyx, Zexion was sitting in between Demyx and Leon and Cloud was at the end. Roxas smiled and turned his attention to the T.V. screen and noticed Demyx had put in a scary movie. Roxas made a small squeak but didn't say anything. Roxas found out that they were watch My Super Psycho Sweet 16 Roxas never saw it but he heard it was scary and bloody. As the movie went on Roxas grew more and more jumpy. At a part with a lot of blood Roxas squeaked and Sora looked over. "Rox, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." He answered quickly; the last thing he wanted was Axel to think he was scared, even though he was. But his attempts didn't hide the fear in his eyes. Axel smiled lightly and put an arm around Roxas pulling him close. Roxas looked up at the redhead.

"It's okay if you're scared y'know. Besides, this gives me a chance to protect a cute little blonde and cross it off my list."

"Off your list..?" Roxas asked confused.

"Mhmm, I have a list of things I want to do before I die and protect a cute blonde is number two."

"You're so strange." Roxas said with a smiled, even if the redhead did have a list Roxas knew exactly what he was doing, he was distracting Roxas from the movie. Something of which Roxas was thankful for.

"Yes, but everyone loves my strangeness."

"If you say so."

"Are you saying you don't love me and my strangeness?" Axel asked leaning down so he was eye level with Roxas.
"Yes. That is totally what I'm saying." Roxas said, trying to keep a straight face.

Axel put on a fake hurt look and clutched his heart. "Awe Rox, that hurts."

"Awe the poor baby." Roxas said laughing.

Riku looked over. "Guys, I don't mind if ya two wanna talk but I wanna watch the movie."

"This is my dressing room smarty."

"So? You're the one who decided to watch TV and hang out in here."

"Fine, fine, gimme the key to your dressing room."

"Here" Riku handed Axel the key and Axel stood up pulling Roxas along with him.

"You wanna stay here or do you wanna go talk?" Axel asked Roxas.

Roxas thought for a moment but when a scream came from the T.V, it seemed to make up his mind for him. "Let's go talk."

Axel smiled and walked out, Roxas trailing behind. Axel said hi to frank and walked into Riku's dressing room. Riku's dressing room was much messier than Axels which surprised Roxas. Roxas looked around and didn't noticed a shoe on the floor so he tripped over it knocking into Axel causing them to fall onto the floor, Roxas shut his eyes as they fell and when he reopened them Axel was onto of him basically straddling him. What was worse was the fact that Axel was still shirtless. Roxas blushed a deep shade of red Axel stared into Roxas' cerulean blue eyes until he realized he was shirtless and straddling the blonde he tried to get up but he only made things worse.

XoXo
