This is totally spaced weird isn't it? If it is I apologize. Also for any misspellings. I did this on my ipod. And I'm really tired. Too tired to respace it but I figured you guys wouldn't care. You'd just want another chapter anyways. So! If the spacing bothers you so much that you can't read it, you're missing out because this is an important point in the story. Just an FYI.
"No keep going." Roxas said quietly as Axel began to slow by the usual
curb where they met. The redhead looked at him with curiosity but did
as he was told. He continued down the street until the neighborhood
began to change. The high class apartments began to crumble ever so
elegantly, their bricks beginning to turn a dingy pinkish color that
seemed to match the color of the sky as the sun came up in the east.
Axel's eyes narrowed slightly with thought as he kept driving. "Ok now
turn right. And stop. Yeah right there." Roxas hopped out of the car,
pulling on his jacket as he smirked at the driver.
"So this is where you live huh?" Axel asked with a grin and smart ass
tone that the kid could only roll his eyes at.
"Yes sir." The kid responded with mild annoyance.
"Well I've gotta say this makes a lot more sense at least."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Roxas laid his hand on his
hip, cocked to the side and his knee bent inward. Axel just shrugged,
smirked and squinted his eyes against the rising sun as he watched the
kid. Roxas rolled his eyes again and began to walk away, swallowing
the lump in his throat, half expecting to never hear from the redhead
again and half glad that the guy who wanted him to 'settle' was out of
his life.
"Can I come in?" The kid whipped around, surprised at the sudden voice
emerging from the vehicle. Axel was already shutting off the engine ad
leaving his seat, slamming the door behind him and making the sound
echo off the empty walls despite the fact that it was five in the
morning.
"I don't see why you need to. Aren't you sexually satisfied for the
day yet?"
"I'm never satisfied." Axel answered with a smirk. "Can't I just come
in? We don't have to have sex." His thin finger outlined the kid's
jaw, making him shiver and smirk at the same time.
"Fine. Whatever you want." Roxas feigned an indifferent shrug and
ignored the older guy's infinitely smart ass smirk a he unlocked the
door. The walk to the door with the cracked paint was silent. It
stayed silent as they walked into the cramped apartment, Axel parting
to the sofa and the kid waking into his bedroom and retrieving
something that looked like a home rolled cigarette.
"What you do drugs too?" Axel asked with some amusement. The kid
grinned as he placed the joint to his lips and lit it up, inhaling
deeply and holding for a moment.
"Baby I do everything." He said simply and the redhead chuckled lightly.
"Right right." He dismissed it with a light sigh and stood up, placing
his hands on his lower back and looking around the tiny room. "You
live here alone?"
"Nope." Roxas remained unwilling to give him his whole life story.
Axel just nodded, expecting that someday he would know everything he
needed to know. He walked back to the couch and say down, the kid
watching him with slowly glossing eyes. Roxas couldn't help as he
giggled while the redhead placed his palm on the side of his face.
"Your hand is cold." He said, managing to stifle some of his laughs as
he reached up and placed his significantly smaller hand over the
longer, colder one. Axel smiled before leaning forward and pressing
his lips against the kid's. Roxas broke the kiss with a laugh but
immediately moved forward on his own and kissed the redhead back,
moving one hand through the thick mane of fiery hair and the other
down his body to the edge of his shirt. Axel smiled and grabbed the
kid's hand, moving it under the thin layer of clothing, down on his
beating heart and pulled his shirt off himself. Roxas giggled again
before he was interrupted by lips again.
"Hand me that." Axel said with a smirk and grabbed the joint from the
kid's hand with a smile. He took a hit and set it down in an ashtray.
One hand wrapped around the kid's thin waist, the other returned to
the side of his face, steadying his body as he laid him down on the
couch. He smiled, listening to Roxas laugh loudly as he gently ran his
lips over his neck. He felt the kid's hand move down his body to the
band of his pants, pulling on it slightly until they were slack and
ready to fall at any moment of movement. And then his phone buzzed.
The two boys looked at each other with wide eyes.
"Who's calling you at five in the morning?" Roxas asked with a smirk.
"Got another booty call I don't know about?"
"Never." Axel answered with a smirk and a quick kiss as he pulled his
phone from his pocket.
Marluxia.
He rolled his eyes and sat up.
"Hey. Mar?"
"Axel...um I..."
"Listen I'm sorry too ok? Can we do this later please? I'm uh..." Axel
looked down at Roxas leisurely looking up, his head resting on his
fist, a smirk accompanying his blood shot eyes. "Busy." He finished
with a smile.
"No Axel. Something happened."
"What?" Axel rubbed his eyes and sighed lightly.
"Demyx...uh Demyx is gone." Marluxia sniffles on the other end. He'd
been crying for hours, trying to pull himself together enough to call
Axel.
"What do you mean?" Axel leaned forward onto his elbows and Roxas
watched him inquiringly.
"Demyx is dead man." Marluxia rested his forehead in his hand, feeling
as if he was about to throw up.
"What?!" Axel yelled angrily and Mar sighed on the other end. "How?!"
"Overdose." He wiped his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Oh god..." Axel squeezed his eyes shut and held his stomach, suddenly
feeling very similar to his friend.
"I just thought you should know. His mom called me and uh...she's a
wreck Axel. You um weren't in his phone anymore. She asked me to tell
you though. She just said...that I should tell you." Axel nodded
though he knew Marluxia couldn't see him. He was nodding on the other
end as well. "I have to go." He bit his lip and waited for a response.
All he got was a dial tone.
Axel stared down at the phone in his hands. Why?
"I have to go..." He stood and walked towards the door without looking
at the kid.
"Oh." Roxas said, his high worn off now. "Um why?" He just wanted to
know.
"My ex uh...my friend. He um died and I really have to go." Roxas
watched him with widened eyes as he walked out, quietly closing the
door behind him and in the eery silence of the early morning, Roxas
heard him drive away.
For those of you who read There's Something Wrong With Me and/or are reading Goodbye Is Overrated, this is how and when Axel finds out. Opportune moment right? And for those of you who did not read There's Something Wrong With Me despite my suggestion, I'm sure you're a little confused so I can explain it to a certain extent right? This story is a sort of sequel spin off type thing to my previous story There's Something Wrong With Me as I've stated I think multiple times. In that story, in the beginning, Demyx is dating Axel. Axel's cameo is brief and unpleasant. This is essentially his redemption story. But it's also important to being back the Demyx stuff because now as you all know, Demyx is dead. Voila.
