A/N: So. I've been thinking of actually giving this a plot that is more than hottie meets hottie the end. And I actually have a few ideas that could have some potential! Can't tell you how happy I was when I logged in and saw that I'd got so much responses in such a short amount of time ~

Hot drops of water fell down the showerhead and exploded against Axels' skin like rain. He had been in the shower long enough to fill the whole room with steam and make his fingertips look like raisins. He washed his fiery hair and shut his eyes to drown out everything other than his own thoughts. Axel wanted to be in every moment, trying to grasp every little emotion coming at him even though they rarely did. Lately he'd felt like there was some kind of bubble-wrap around him, sorting out feelings vague enough not to come through, making him indifferent towards things he was supposed to like. Something he and Roxas had in common even though they didn't know it yet.

"Roxas…" he sighed while tasting the name together with the water slipping through his separated lips. He had learned the blonds name from Cloud the other day after their little encounter. It was easy to say; just enough for you to remember it, but the boy he had seen didn't need a catchy name to make a good first impression. The sight was just enough.

He frowned when he felt cool hands stroking his shoulders, reaching down from his torso to his hips and just when pale lips started closing in on his neck he suddenly remembered that the last time he checked he was taking a shower alone. His little fantasies usually didn't feel so realistic and he couldn't even remember he was steering his thoughts in that direction…

"LARXENE!" he screamed out in panic, pushing free from the slightly older woman's loose grip and fell in his eager attempt to cover himself with the shower-curtain. With feet up in the air and body placed in an awkward position in the bathtub, he cursed himself for forgetting to lock the door. After one year, he still hadn't learned that necessity in Larxenes' household.

"I know you liked it", the wet girl pouted and quickly grabbed a towel to wrap around herself. "So fucking tired of all you guys. Who's Roxas by the way? Anyway, we're supposed to be the weaker sex and…" As the monologue went on Axel fought against the soap in his eyes and the humiliation of falling for Larxene's ever so funny tries on turning him on. The water was still running as he shoved her out the door and slammed it in her face.

"By the way, NICE BONER!" she shouted loud enough for the whole building to hear.

"No thanks to you!" He answered and turned off the shower he no longer wanted to finish. This wasn't his ideal start on a Friday night but at least he was free to get even with the little witch in the near future. 'I got to get my own place soon...'

Axel stayed with Larxene and her younger cousin Naminé in an apartment located in the cheaper parts of tram common, right above the tram yard. He had been mooching on them for about a year now, and even though they didn't mention anything, he felt like he had overstayed his welcome.

Normally, if things had been as they should, he would be living over at Castle Oblivion together with the closest to family he had ever come. The Organization was the only thing he knew except from the last year he had spent in Twilight Town. Right now he was on vacation. Some vacation, getting kicked out of his own home without really knowing why, but that was what Diz had wanted him to call it.

Both Larxene and Naminé were a part of the Organization as well, but since Naminé wasn't one of the thirteen she wasn't allowed to live there. Larxene didn't like the idea of her younger cousin living alone at 17-years old, so she decided that she could stay in Twilight Town and return to the Castle whenever it was necessary for her to be attending physically. When Axel got kicked out and didn't have a place to stay, she took him under his wing without Diz or any of the other members knowing about it.

"HURRY UP, Naminé needs to use the bathroom", Larxene's voice was near to break into a menacing laughter.

"Do not!"

"Why don't you let me make fun of him? All he does is shower and jack off while thinking of me -"

"If you ladies excuse me…" Axel had stepped out in the hallway with a towel wrapped around his waist, heading for his drawer to get some new clothes. "I was thinking you'd be happy not to see little Axie," He started to slowly loosen the towel. "…But maybe I was-"

"NO!" Naminé's innocent, normally colorless face was bright red and her eyes big and flickering not knowing where it was okay to look. "No thank you… Ehm… 'Xene, let's leve him to his privacy…"

"You're such a wuss, you're supposed to be the hormonal teenager in this house. You know that, right?"

"Sorry it had to come down to such drastic solutions, but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do", Axel shrugged, lifting his hands in an attempt to be convincing in the fact that he really had no choice, not realizing he had loosen the towel a little bit too much, making it fall to the floor without any hands holding it up.

Hell had broken loose in the little apartment after that incident and Axel had been thrown out with some clothes to wear and wasn't allowed in until Naminé had settled down and could breathe again. She was too fragile, that little girl, and that was the reason Axel called her the princess. The bitch and the princess, his hysterical roommates. Naminé was only hysterical when he was naked though. Which he wasn't that often. Larxene on the other hand…

The words perv and creepy rang through his head as they were the words occurring the most in Larxene's lecture on how inappropriate it was for him, a soon to be 20 year old, to be naked in front of an almost under aged girl. Axel and Larxene was the same age and one of the conditions he could stay in Twilight Town with her was if he pretended to attend to the local school to keep an eye on Naminé. Even though she was a capital bitch most of the time, she really cared for her little cousin and did her best to protect her from everything she didn't find enough for her.

"Okey, so let's kill some time…" he said aloud but was only talking to himself. He had a couple of hours to spend before it was safe to head home again and he didn't really know what to do with them. This was a perfect opportunity for him to get to know his surroundings if it weren't for the fact that he already did, inside out. Twilight Town wasn't that hard to get used to. But that also made it easy to long after more at times.

It was 10 PM and that was fairly late for many of the residents. After a while of weighing the options of standing still or moving around he heard footsteps through the tired tram common and couldn't help but look to see whose it was. Cursing himself once again for doing things that wasn't anything but a waste of time, he saw that it was too late to avoid a confrontation with the dirt blond boy with camo-pants recognizable from space.

"Great, you again," Hayner spit out before he could stop himself and once again played too cool to take it back. He wanted his polish to be as bulletproof as possible, and that was why his friends loved to make fun of him. Bulletproof was the last thing that he was, even though his tough guy-act could fool even the smartest people at times. Axel sadly wasn't one of those who found it charming. Besides, he was too old to be picking fights with 17-year olds anyway. "Aren't you going to do something about it?"

What was Axel supposed to say, he had met the guy once before and had no interest in getting to know him. Why was he expected to have to do anything? He simply gave him a "No" as an answer and started to walk away, heading for the nearest diner.

"Roxas is NOT my boyfriend, by the way. But I still don't like the way you looked at him…"

Axel was unaware of Roxas' and Clouds' little meeting. Hayner didn't know Axel had been joking and Cloud just had been trying to scare him up because he thought it was Hayner that had bumped in to him on the stairs.

"Looked at who?"

"Don't play dumb!"

"No way of fooling you, huh?" Axel's green eyes met Hayner's and with a smile he lifted his head a bit in a cocky manor. "You know what? Just to piss you off… I think I'm going to do something about it."
