Summ.
Axel didn't care that his older brother was dating a guy. Until he fell in love with the boyfriend's son. They're engaged to be married, but will the young lovers stand up for their relationship? I mean it's not REALLY incest!

It is written in first person, chapters switching viewpoints from Axel to Roxas. Axel for odd numbered chapters, Roxas for even numbered chapters.

I opened my eyes slowly the next morning, taking in the beautiful sight before me: My beloved, my Roxas, asleep in front of me. Roxas… always looked so nervous when he was asleep. It was as if he were afraid to wake up for fear of what he might see. I kissed his forehead lightly.

"Open your eyes, my precious love," I whispered.

He let out a small groan as he awoke, looking up at me with a soft, tired smile. "Good morning, handsome."

"It's time to wake up, my beloved. It's almost nine already, baby."

"Really?" his eyes grew wide, then saddened. "We have three hours left together… Axel, I don't want to go! I'll be heartbroken!"

"Shh… Don't worry, honey. We're together now. That's what's important. Your heart is out of harm's way, because you gave it to me for safe keeping. And I would never let your heart break."

"Axel… Axel… I love you…" he whispered.

"I love you too."

The rest of the day was spent eating breakfast and straightening out the house, double-checking that everything had been cleaned at put back where it belonged, stealing a few kisses along the way. The doorknob turned, and I released Roxas from our deep French kiss immediately, regaining my composure as Roxas went into my bedroom to cool off.

My brother walked inside with Cloud, looking grouchy and frustrated whereas Cloud seemed far too happy by contrast. My brother's hair was a disaster and his clothes were a mess.

"Reno… bro… what the fuck happened to you?"

He bopped me over the head. "Don't cuss at me, baby brother."

"What happened to you? Isn't anyone going to inform me of what happened?" one thing I realized about my true self is that I hated to be ignored or left out.

"Where's the kid?" he asked, ignoring my question once again.

"What kid? Roxas? Roxas isn't a kid, Reno. What's gotten into you? You never call him that."

"Where is he?" Reno insisted.

"Hang on… I'll go get him…" there was something really off about Reno's tone. What could have possibly happened? I grabbed Roxas and brought him to the front door.

Reno looked at Roxas. "Stay here. I'll be right back."

Roxas turned to Cloud when Reno disappeared. "Dad? What's going on?"

"You're going out to lunch with Reno today."

"What?" Roxas and I said together as I tried to contain my sudden jealousy.

"Well, Reno's taking you for awhile and Axel is coming with me."

"Again. What?" we must have sounded like a machine or twins at that moment, but I really couldn't have cared less.

Cloud smiled. "Well, I told Reno that I wanted to get to know Axel a little better because you two are so close, which, in turn, made me tell him to bond with Roxas a bit. It'll be a good way to get to know each other."

Reno just didn't like the idea of what he considered 'babysitting'. My brother was impossible to deal with sometimes. "I guess… it makes sense…"

Cloud beamed at my acceptance of the matter. "You are so much easier to handle than your brother! He got so grumpy. If only you were twenty years older, Axel," he sighed. "Nonetheless, Roxas, don't be afraid to put Reno in his place if he acts up."

When Reno came back, now looking presentable, he took Roxas' hand and led him to the door. "Cloud."

"Yes, dear?"

"You owe me for this."

"Glad to know my son is worth your time."

"You know that's not what I meant."

"Hmm…"

Cloud smirked, and Reno let Roxas go to grab his lover by the shoulders and pulled him into a fierce kiss. I winced at this, reminded of my horrible nightmares as I resisted the urge to throw up. Reno broke the kiss, breathing heavily. "You owe me."

"I'll keep that in mind," Cloud pecked his lips. "See you later. Love you."

"Love you too. Otherwise I wouldn't be doing this. Don't ruin my brother."

After one more kiss goodbye, Reno took Roxas and left. I only caught a small glimpse of his sad blue eyes before he was gone. I wished that we were allowed goodbye kisses too… I've never yearned for anything as much as I longed for one farewell peck and a final murmured 'I love you'.

'I love you, Roxas… see you later…'

"So, why don't we go to the beach?" Cloud piped up. "We'll eat and walk on the shoreline and play in the arcade! Sound good?"

'It would sound better if Roxas was involved…' I nodded. "Yeah. Sounds like fun. It's nice to talk to you like this sometimes."

"Great! I'm really excited to get to know you. You're like a little brother to me, too. Mixed with a second son~"

'Theoretically… that's exactly what I am… a brother-in-law/son-in-law if marriage ever comes into play here…'

"Yeah… you're like the dad I never had… I don't really see you as a brother, though… you're too much like a father to me…"

I wondered if my subtle hint would tip him off that I didn't really care about him being with Reno or not, as long as I could still spend time with Roxas.

"Well, maybe you'll warm up to the idea someday. That would be nice, wouldn't it?"

"Roxas is really all I care about…" I suddenly tensed at the weird look Cloud was giving me. I'd said that aloud, hadn't I? "I… I mean…"

"Just because you're best friends doesn't mean your entire world should revolve around my son. Maybe spending some time with me will liven you up a bit."

"Maybe…" arguing with Roxas' dad was pointless, especially after my obsessive-sounding comment.

That was most likely the strangest day of my life.
