Chapter 2

Waiting, waiting, waiting. Roxas looked at the clock. Five minutes had gone by.

Pyro333 is typing...

Roxas huffed impatiently and watched the IM window.

Pyro333 is typing...

"Roxas, dinner is ready!" his Mother hollered up the stairs.

"Just a minute Mother!"

Pyro333 has entered text...

"Dammit Axel."

Rox_ass13: brb, dinner

The blonde minimized the chat window and stood, heading for the door. Just as he was about to close his door, the computer chimed, signaling a new message. Resisting, Roxas shut the door and headed downstairs for dinner.

"Sora, we can talk later! I have something to do!"

"Whatcha' gotta do Rox, jerk off to thoughts of your new special frieeeend?" Sora dodged the shoe flung in his direction and laughed when it bounced off the wall.

"Boys! No rough housing!"

"Yes Mother." they both chimed in unison.

Roxas shot a glare at Sora and retreated into his room, locking the door behind him. He sat in front of his computer and rubbed his finger on the touch pad to wake the screen. As the screen came to life, Roxas clicked on the IM with Axel to bring it up.

Pyro333: snds fun roxy.

Rox_ass13: back. You don't sound too enthusiastic. Any particular reason why?

Pyro333: its nuttin'. Im excited, promise.

Rox_ass13: why don't I believe you?

Roxas sat back and stared at the screen. 'Sounds fun' didn't sound like Axel.

Pyro333: its nthing. I just been thinkin.

Rox_ass13: about?

Pyro333 is typing...

Roxas bit his lip, suddenly nervous.

Pyro333 has entered text...

"Oh come on Axel, not again..."

Pyro333: maybe u shld tlk to Zex...

Roxas froze, stunned. Tell Zexion? Tell Zexion about them?!?!

Pyro333: it dsnt seem fair, im startin 2 feel kinda guilty. U dnt hv 2 tell him about me, I jst thnk u shldnt keep stringing him along.

Pryo333: Roxy...?

Roxas raked a hand through his hair and blew out a breath. Tell Zexion? He couldn't even fathom what his boyfriends reaction would be. He would demand a reason or blame it on himself. Roxas would have to come up with something to tell him. Its not like he could just say 'Zex, we need to break up. I'm cheating on you'. No, that wouldn't work at all. Zexion would hate him. He needed to be more tactile, think of something better.

Pyro333: Roxas? R u still there?

Rox_ass13: Yeah. I'll think about it. G2g.

Pyro333: alright. C u tom.

Pyro333 has signed off.

Roxas closed the lid of his laptop and rubbed his temples. Having a talk with Zexion was a good idea, but not one he was looking forward to. In a snap-second decision, Roxas fished his keys from his pocket and unlocked his bedroom door. Tromping downstairs, he hollered over his shoulder.

"Mother! I'm going to Zexion's house for a little while."

"Fine, but be home by nine."

"What! Come on Mother, nine, really?"

Mother came around the corner with her arms crossed, her customary glare set in stone on her face.

"You heard me young man, nine o'clock sharp or you go nowhere. Am I understood?"

Roxas huffed, not willing to argue. "Yes Mother." with that, he slipped on his shoes and slammed the door behind him.

Hitting the unlock button on his keys, Roxas slid into the low-slug BMW and started the engine. He pulled out of the driveway as fast as he dared and headed in the direction of Zexion's house.

What was he going to say? How do you tell your boyfriend, who you used to love, that yo don't love him anymore and that you've been cheating on him with the bottom of the social ladder? How do you tell someone who loves you that you don't feel the same? How do you tell someone that your cheating on them with someone they despise, cant stand? How do you break someone like that?

Guilt assailed Roxas harder then it ever had before. It hit him that for two months he had totally turned his back on the one person who his put more trust in him then anyone else. Zexion loved him, from the bottom of his heart. Was it possible that he was Zexion's soul mate, but Axel was his? Would the universe do something that shitty? It couldn't be like that, could it? If Axel was his soul mate, then that had to mean there was someone else out there for Zexion, right? Or was he passing up his one chance at perfection for an illusion of love?

Roxas rubbed his forehead with the fingers of one head as he pulled into Zexions driveway. He had to tell him, it was only fair. He would have to do Zexion the biggest favor he knew of by breaking up with him. It was for the best. It was better for everyone. There had to be someone better for Zexion out there. If Roxas didn't believe that, then there was no way he could do this. Zexion would get over him eventually, he had to. Wounds healed over time.

Roxas unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car. He shoved his keys in his pocket and just as he was about to knock on the door, it was opened for him.

There stood Zexion, clad in baggy pajama pants and no shirt. His hair was damp from a recent shower and hung over his eye in a most appealing way. His alabaster skin almost seemed to glow in the light of the setting sun and his lavender eyes sparkled in happiness at he sight of Roxas. The taller teen smiled and pulled Roxas into a hug.

Zexion gave the best hugs out of anyone Roxas knew. He didn't just hug with his arms, he put his whole body into it. Wrapping his arms around Roxas shoulders, pulling their bodies close, and resting his cheek on top of Roxas. Instinctively, Roxas hugged him back, starting to remember why he had fallen for the other teen in the first place. Zexion was warm and open. He loved with his whole heart and never held back. He was perfect, and it was crumbling every reason Roxas had for breaking up with him. How could he bring himself to hurt something so gentle, so kind? Zexion had treated him with nothing but respect. He had never lied, never cheated, never done anything to warrant what Roxas was doing to him.

"I love you." Zexion whispered in his ear, breaking Roxas's last resolve.

"I...I love you too Zex." Roxas whispered back, love for the man in his arms flowing through his veins.

Zexion pulled back and kissed Roxas lovingly, letting the warmth seep through his lips and into Roxas'. The blonde melted, forgetting all thoughts of anyone else. Forgetting about the whole rest of the world entirely. Nothing mattered but the warm pair of lips holding him on this earth, the strong arms keeping him in gravities clutches, the warmth keeping him whole and sane. Nothing mattered but Zexion. Nothing mattered but this moment.

Zexion pulled back and rested his forehead against Roxas'.He smiled warmly and kisses Roxas again softly.

"I missed you. I hardly saw you at all today."

Roxas smiled back. "I missed you too."

Zexion laced their fingers together and led Roxas inside.

"Come upstairs with me."

"Alright, but I cant stay long." Roxas followed, trying to match his pace to Zexion's.

"Call your mom. Stay the night. Please. You know my parents wont care. Tell her we're working on a project and its taking longer then we thought. My clothes fit you, I'll loan you something. It's just one of those nights. I don't want to be alone. I don't want to be without you. We don't have to do anything if you don't want to, just please lay in my arms."

"Alright.' Roxas conceded. 'But can I borrow your phone? I..forgot mine. At school."

"Sure." Zexion handed Roxas his cell as they both sat on the bed.

Roxas lay back, letting his legs dangle over the edge, and dialed home. After exactly two rings, the phone was answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey Mother, its Roxas. Can I spend the night at Zexion's house? Our projects going to take longer then we thought and we really do need to get it finished tonight. If not, the teacher will take points off my final grade. It's okay with his parents."

"What about clothes Roxas?"

"Zexion will let me borrow some. We wear the same size."

His mother sighed. "Fine, but don't think this is going to be happening every night."

"I know Mother. Thank you." Roxas hung up and set the phone on Zexion's bedside table.

"Yes?"

Roxas smiled. "Yup."

Zexion smiled happily and moved to sit on Roxas' hips. Roxas smiled up at his boyfriend, all thoughts of Axel gone from his conscious thoughts. Zexion leaned down and pressed his lips to Roxas' in a kiss that started out as soft. As it went on, the kiss deepened and got progressively hotter. Zexion ran his hands down Roxas' sides, touching everywhere he could reach.

Bring back, this night is yours.

Shadows drive us down

to the absurd so,

put on your guitar.

Roxas arched lightly against him and bit his lip. Zexion pulled up his shirt and rained kisses down his chest, pausing to trace circles around the blondes bellybutton.

Watch your hips turn a melody until

tomorrow comes.

Exhale more than smoke.

Each breath brings us higher

Roxas kissed down Zexion's alabaster chest and unbuttoned his jeans. Sliding the zipper down slowly, he reached a hand in his pants to touch the other teen softly.

Tonight we'll go.

Prove this if you've got the nerve.

My fingers run down your every curve now

your every curve now.

Roxas moaned and arched high.

"Harder Zex, harder!"

Broken bottles silhouette.

Feel your body's restless call...

"Close Zex, so close!"

A/N: I love bitchy endings. Yay me! The italics near the end are song lyrics. Ouch by Do It To Julia. They seemed fitting. I tried to add more Zex in this chapter since some of you said you wanted him. Here he be. Don't count on daily updates, I write when I can. You guys were lucky that I had this week off, but I go back to work tomorrow. Until next time my loves.
