Chapter Five

Roxas turned around after he heard Sora's little outburst and nearly knocked Axel over. He jumped with glee and shrieked. Axel helped him bowl a spare, making him beat Sora. Roxas grabbed Axel's hands and they jumped up and down, a wide and real smile plastered on Roxas' face.

"Cheat! Axel can't help Roxas! He loses by cheating," Sora said, standing up and putting his hands on his hips. Roxas stopped right before he was going up for another jump. He dropped Axel's hands and walked around the tall red head. Roxas locked his blue eyes with his little brother's and stared him down.

"I didn't cheat. Axel just helped me! So that's not cheating," said Roxas. Axel and Riku looked at each other with worried glances. They both knew Sora and Roxas go for blood when they fought and things could get ugly very quickly. The two bigger boys stood with their hands ready to pull back their boyfriends at a moment's notice.

"Roxas you cheated! Just admit it and accept your failure. You're going to be the one to run naked," shouted Sora, taking a step forward to Roxas. A few people were starting to notice the two boys arguing and looked over at their group.

"Sora, I never cheat. Cheating on anything is just wrong. I only get help," Roxas said, moving to Sora.

"Oh really? What about that one math test you got help on by looking at Riku's answers? Of course he told me about that one Roxy," Sora yelled.

"That doesn't count! It was so long ago," defended Roxas. Sora roared and pushed his brother, trying to get Roxas to back down. The blonde stumbled back into Axel and before the red head had a chance to grab him, Roxas ran and shoved the brunette. Sora's blue eyes blinked once before he went and punched Roxas in the gut. He clutched his stomach and Roxas forgot his brother really could pack a punch. Trying to distract himself from the pain, Roxas swung his leg out and managed to kick Sora in the shin.

Riku and Axel caught on and ran to grab the two boys. Axel pinned Roxas' arms behind his back and Riku did the same with Sora. The two brothers were groaning in pain, but still managed to give each other a menacing glare. Axel looked over to see someone from management rushing over to them. The little group had caused such a scene and got everyone's attention that also went midnight bowling. It wasn't a lot of people, but just enough to make Axel feel extremely embarrassed.

"I have to ask you all to leave. This is a family friendly place and we do not tolerate fights. Change your shoes and we ask you to leave as quickly and as quietly as possible," said a poor sap stuck in a red and white striped shirt. He seemed like a tough guy with an 'X' shaped scar in the middle of his face. Hell, if that didn't scare you enough then the bright blue hair should. Axel nodded and tried to apologize as he held onto the squirming blonde. Riku sat Sora down and they began to switch out their shoes. Roxas sat with no problem, but he refused to put on his shoes. He sat there like a misbehaving toddler and stared at Axel who was starting to change his own shoes.

"What Rox? You want me to put your shoes on for you? Such a spoiled princess," Axel grumbled, hurrying to put his shoes back on. Roxas sat with his arms crossed over his chest and just looked at the floor. Axel tied his sneakers and bent down on his knees to put on Roxas' shoes. He slipped off the old, beat up bowling shoes and grabbed Roxas' much better looking, but just as worn ones. The blonde looked down at Axel and a very small smile escaped onto his lips. He held out his right foot and Axel slid it on. It looked like a scene straight out of a Cinderella movie. Axel even looked up at him with a cheesy grin and his green eyes light and alive with fire.

"Happy my sweet little Princess?" he said, trying Roxas' laces.

"Thanks Axel, sorry I'm just a little pissed, that's all. Here, let me get the other one! No, Ax, oh fine," sighed Roxas as Axel started to slip on his other shoe. Roxas actually didn't mind the little attention he got from him. Axel stood up with their shoes in his hand and he and Riku walked over to the counter, very aware of all the eyes peering into their backs. Sora and Roxas glared at each other and didn't speak. Axel rushed the two brothers out and tried to ignore the stabbing glares. Riku followed behind, ready to help Axel in case they went at it again.

Out in the parking lot, Roxas shoved his hands into his pockets. The light breeze cooled his legs. Even in shorts Roxas was melting in that building. Axel ran over to him and clamped a hand on his shoulder. Roxas looked up at Axel who was scanning his face. Over his shoulder he could see Riku and Sora arguing. Sora looked aggravated and Riku looked worried.

"Roxas, are you okay? If you and your brother were to be stuck in the car for the drive home, you won't kill him, right?" asked Axel. Roxas actually had to think about it before he could nod. Sometimes his brother just set him on edge. No matter what he will still love his brother.

"I think they should apologize to each other, hug each other and say they loved one another. Hell, I had to do that with my siblings," Axel said to Riku, who was trying to get a hold on the fuming Sora.

"Oh hell no!" Roxas and Sora said in unison. Axel and Riku frowned, but Riku thought of a brilliant idea. He motioned for Axel to come over and Riku pushed Sora towards Roxas. Confused, Sora stood by Roxas, but still quite a distance away from him. The silver haired boy whispered into Axel's ear and a devilish smile slipped onto their faces. Riku stepped away from Axel and cracked his knuckles. Roxas and Sora stood up straighter and kept their blue eyes on the other two.

"Well, I have a good idea. Since you two lovelies decided to fight over who lost, both of you are the ultimate losers. Therefore, both of you shall run around in the nude," snickered Riku. Roxas' head snapped to Axel who could only shrug with the cocky little grin he always had on his face.

"Sorry Princess, maybe next time you won't fight with your brother. And you two didn't even apologize!" Axel said. Roxas vowed to kick his ass the next chance he got. Riku's too. Inhaling and exhaling heavily, Roxas turned to Sora.

"Sora, I'm sorry for yelling at you, pushing you, kicking you and causing a scene. It wasn't right of me and it was a problem I could've corrected myself," Roxas said through gritted teeth. Sora breathed out his nose and crossed his arms over his chest. Riku glared at him and Sora rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry too Roxy. I was being immature about the whole thing and I shouldn't have screamed back. I also am sorry for punching you. There, happy you two? Now we don't have to do it," Sora said angrily. Riku and Axel looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Say you love each other! Those weren't the best apologies, but they're acceptable," Riku chuckled. The two of them mumbled I love you quickly and stared down their boyfriends.

"Now we are free!" Roxas growled. Axel threw his head back in laughter and when his head was back down, his jade eyes narrowed as he put his hands behind his back. Roxas raised an eyebrow at him and put a hand on his hip.

"Oh, ho, ho! I think not my sweet little Princess. You both still loose and not to mention, I won the game. Meaning, you still have to do what I say. What I say is that you two are the losers and must do as the rules of the bet set by our darling Roxas are!" Axel said, circling Roxas. The blonde flinched and knew that the night was going to be hell. Sora gulped loudly and reached for Roxas' hand. Roxas locked hands and pulled his brother close. Axel and Riku towered over them and just laughed darkly. Roxas and Sora were scared out of their pants.

O~o~O

Roxas held the towel tightly around the lower half of his body and was extremely pissed that it happened to be windy that night. Sora was shivering, standing next to his brother. He held the towel just as tightly as Roxas. Riku and Axel were high fiving each other behind them. If it weren't for the fact that Roxas would drop the towel, he would've just turned around and smacked the both of them. Sora's teeth were chattering as he looked up at Roxas. The blonde could only try to force a smile, but it didn't work. They were both doing something that just made them feel awful about it. And their boyfriends just laughed.

"Alright ladies, you don't have to go through the house like Rox said before, but you've got to go around that tree all the way over there. After, well, why not cool off with a quick jump in the lake?" Axel said, still snickering. Roxas shivered and just wanted to put his pajamas and sleep. It was almost two thirty in the moment and he was so tired.

"One, two, three, go!" Riku said, grabbing hold of their towels and yanking them down. Roxas' eyes bulged as he was fully exposed to the breeze. Sora was already trying to get going, but his legs shook with embarrassment and slight cold. Roxas felt someone's hand, more than likely Axel's, smack his ass and his legs immediately went to work. His cheeks were already pink at the feeling of knowing that not just Axel was seeing him naked, but Riku too. During school, Roxas was the kid who changed in the showers because he was so self conscious.

"Woo! Good going! You two look great!" yelled Axel. Roxas gritted his teeth and pushed harder to get it done and over with. Sora was about to go around the tree when Roxas caught up with him. He was about to pass Sora too. Naturally, he was a good runner and was not out of breath yet, but as he passed Sora, he could hear him panting. Sora was good at sports, but he wasn't in the very best of shape. Roxas chuckled and let his legs take him around the tree.

In the distance he could see Axel and Riku waiting on the porch, probably laughing and staring at his and Sora's naked bodies. He felt so weird and he just wanted it over with. Roxas felt the sting of the wind and made a sharp turn right. Sora was behind him and before he jumped into the water, he waited for Sora. The brunette was huffing and puffing as he caught up with Roxas. Roxas held out his hand and Sora took it in his own. Together they ran a bit more into the water.

Icy water tickled Roxas' ankles as it slowly got deeper. Once it reached about his mid thighs, he looked at Sora. They nodded and in perfect sync, leaped into the freezing water. Sora let go of Roxas' hand and they separated. Roxas opened his eyes underwater, but it was all pitch black. He pushed up to the close surface and his breathing quickened. Sora was already standing up and shivering. Roxas shook the water out and slowly stood up, regaining his balance.

"Hey guys! You look cold! Want some towels?" Axel said, waiting at the shoreline. Riku waved two of them around and the brother's took off running. Sora jumped into Riku's arms, biting his lip to stop the chattering. Riku set him down before he wrapped a towel around his waist and then draped one over the brunette's shoulders. Roxas just snatched the towels from Axel. He made quick work of putting them on his body. Axel chuckled and just ran his hand through Roxas' wet blonde hair.

"Your body is beautiful, why hide it?" Axel whispered, wrapping his arms around Roxas' waist. The trembling blonde held onto Axel's extremely warm body. Axels just radiated heat. Roxas buried his face in Axel's chest and he could feel Axel's lips on his hair. Small chuckles came from above him. Roxas could see Riku literally holding Sora in his arms bridal style and nuzzling his face with his nose.

"C'mon my Princess, let's put clothes on you. I feel pretty bad for you Rox. I know how you said you didn't like the way your body looks, but if it means anything to you, I think you're flawless," said Axel, keeping his arms around Roxas as they walked back to the house. Riku and Sora followed closely behind. Roxas was just glad the nightmare was over and he was warm in Axel's arms.
