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.

-Cloud's voice over the phone-


The shrill sound of the phone ringing filled the apartment at four A.M. the next morning. I heard Reno cry out in pain. Haha. Hangover. That's what he gets for asking Cloud to marry him. If that makes any sense.

"AXEL ANSWER THE GODDAMN PHONE MY HEAD IS ABOUT TO EXPLODE YOU ASSHOLE!"

"Okay."

I picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

-Axel?-

"Cloud? Why are you calling so early?"

-Is Roxas there?- his voice sounded desperate.

"No. Why would he be here? He has school today. You mean he's not there?"

-Oh God…-

"Cloud, what's going on?"

-Please, come over right away. Bring Reno. I… Oh my God…- he sounded like he was about to vomit. –Please, Axel, just… just get over here.-

"Okay… Cloud… are you…" I realized I was talking to the dial tone. "Crying?"

I hung up and dragged Reno to the car. "Where are we going?"

"Cloud's house. Something's wrong."

I don't think I've ever thought that Roxas' house was far away until now. It took maybe five minutes, but it felt like five hours. I pulled into the driveway and dragged Reno into the house, immediately noticing that Cloud was clutching the phone like he was about to break it, if he didn't break down first. He was shaking terribly, and he didn't even notice us walk in, oblivious to our presence until Reno pulled him into a concerned hug. Cloud gasped, looking up at my brother with wide eyes. "R-Reno…"

The blonde man's eyes were red and puffy, and he had, as I had assumed, been crying. "Cloud… what happened?"

Reno looked up at me. "Axel, what happened to your neck?"

'You happened to my neck…' I thought. I crossed my arms. "That's not important right now, Reno."

"Roxas… I'm sorry, Roxas…" Cloud fisted his hands in my brother's shirt. "Roxas, I didn't mean it…" he whispered, sobbing.

"What happened to Roxas?" I was really worried, my stomach churned and instead of waiting for an answer, I ran upstairs and into Roxas' room, and the room looked ransacked, but the bed was perfectly made, a single sheet of paper on the pillow. I grabbed it and read what it said over and over, but still didn't understand the message.


BREAK.


I rushed back downstairs to see Cloud completely melted into my brother's arms, sobbing and shaking like a leaf as he murmured his son's name over and over. "Roxas… Roxas… I'm sorry… Roxas—"

"Cloud, I'm going to ask you again. What happened?" I demanded.

"Last—last night… I… I was trying-t-to talk to him… But—but we ended up… yelling at each other… and he got me s-so… so frustrated… and I smacked him… I didn't mean to, but then he said I lost him and that he hated me… th-then he ran upstairs and… and when I woke up this morning, I—I went to apologize… and he was gone! Roxas… I… I have no idea where he… if he wasn't with you… I don't know where he would be!" Cloud was thoroughly distressed.

"What about this paper?"

"I… I told him… I told him once that I would break if I ever lost him… Roxas… what if… what if he's hurt? What if he… if he was trying to come back and was kidnapped? I don't know what I would do without him! Roxas is my everything! He… He thinks I don't love him! I do—" he broke down into sobs again.

My brother looked at my wide eyes and then back at Cloud. "Have you called the police?"

He shook his head. "I… I was hoping… that you would know where he was… But… I don't think…"

"You have to try, Cloud," Reno whispered. "If anyone can help find Roxas, it will be them."

Cloud went to dial when a thought crossed my mind. "Xemnas."

The blonde froze. "Roxas… He said that Xemnas was right about me… because I didn't care enough to notice he was being molested…"

Reno caressed Cloud's face and pecked his forehead. "It's not your fault. You know that. He was just saying it to make you upset. He said himself that he didn't blame you."

I spun on my heel and opened the door.

"Where do you think you're going?" Reno called after me.

"To look for him. I can't stand idly by and twiddle my thumbs when someone I care about might be in danger. I'm not like you, Reno. I don't expect the world to come to me, so I go out and chase it. Take care of Cloud. I'll be back, and I'll have Roxas with me."

I went to leave when someone grabbed the hem of my shirt. I spun around, expecting to see Reno, but instead it was a sobbing Cloud that was clinging to me. "When you find him…" he said softly, "…tell him that I love him… and that I'm sorry."

I smiled warmly at him. "I will. Don't worry."

I bolted out the door, determined to find my love. First I walked towards the park, the first place I figured he would go if he wasn't at my house. About fifteen minutes later, I started hearing police sirens around me, most likely looking for Roxas. If possible, I hoped to find him first to relay Cloud's message, and to figure out what we were planning on doing about this engagement. I was determined to fight, but I had to know if Roxas was too. He was a little pacifistic, but I hoped he would be on my side regardless.

"Roxas…" I mumbled his name, picturing the blonde in my mind, every adorable feature of his that I loved so damn much. My fingers twitched at the sudden ache to run my fingers through his hair and my lips tingled with desire to kiss his cute pink lips. I had to find him. I refused to go back without him. "Roxas!" I shouted into the early wisps of dawn crawling over the horizon. "Roxas!"

All I heard in reply was my echo and the chirping of birds. My entire body ached, a dull pain in my chest at the hollow sounds and saddened cries that resonated in my ears. By this point even I was on the verge of tears. It had been two hours, and still no sign of my angel. The police sirens persisted, meaning that he hadn't been found elsewhere, and several dogs being walked through the park at this early time would growl and bark at me as I slunk by. A few owners stopped, asking me if I was okay, or if I was lost or something, and I simply replied that I was looking for someone important.

"Who?" a young silver-haired girl asked, who was collecting the most colorful leaves that had fallen to the ground in the early autumn months.

"Someone I love very much."

"What do they look like?"

"He's about to my shoulder in height, deep blue eyes, and short, spiky honey-blonde hair. His name is Roxas."

"What's your name?"

"Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?"

"If I see him, I'll tell him you're looking, okay?"

I smiled at her. "Thanks."

"Good luck, Axel."

I was out searching for him for another few hours before I decided that I should check the school. I was exhausted, but I wasn't going to stop looking. I furrowed my brow when I reached the front of the building I had abandoned years ago. Taking a deep breath, I walked in through the left set of double doors and sighed. The building had changed again, so I would probably get hopelessly lost. "For Roxas…" I mumbled as I set off to the office. The secretary saw my red spikes and appeared to nearly have a heart attack. I smirked, which perturbed her even more.

"Mrs. Whitman. It's been awhile. How have you been?" I said in a friendly manner, loving how freaked out she was getting by my sudden… personality. To her, I was the kid that only looked forward to the day I could drop out, and could care less about anything else.

"A-Axel Corre?" she guessed in a choked whisper.

"Mmhm. And you dyed your hair again, I see… brunette with blonde highlights? You really did look better with the auburn. Regardless, is the Prince in?"

"Y-yes… just a moment…" she scurried into the principal's office and murmured loud enough so that I could hear without straining. "Sir, you have a visitor… one of the Corre brothers…"

My bro didn't have a fantastic rep here either, though he was intentionally a troublemaker in high school. I just never did anything.

"Yes, sir. The younger brother. Axel," I didn't even try to hear what the Prince was saying. "I am fully aware of that, sir. I'll send him in."

She turned back to face me and I simply nodded, sliding in the door and suppressing a chuckle at the fact that they perpetually renovated the school, but still hadn't replaced the Prince's door that Reno paintballed a good twenty years ago. My brother still brags about that year's senior prank. I flopped down on the 'troublemaker's chair', simply relieved to be sitting down for the first time since the car ride to Cloud's that morning.

I looked up at the man sitting behind the desk, glaring at me. "Yo, Prince," I mocked my brother's speech patterns because I hadn't ever actually bothered to try pissing him off before.

"Axel Corre."

"Yes, that is my name. Now that we have introductions out of the way, I'm here to take care of something important."

"Oh? And what would that be?"

"Roxas Strife. Is he in school today?"

"I don't know what you're up to, so my answer is 'no comment'."

"Prince, you don't get it. He ran away from home last night and I've been searching all over the god-damn city since four o'clock this morning and if he's here, then I can tell his dad that he's safe!" I refused to take his indirect answers. "So is Roxas in school or not?" I demanded.

"Axel, sit down!" he barked. I complied unwillingly, and he stared at me, silver hair being blown by a small fan on his desk. I watched carefully as he stood and walked to the door. "Come."

I walked briskly, occasionally breaking into a jog to keep up with his abnormally long stride. He held up a hand to tell me to stop and he walked into a classroom, closing the door behind him. I glanced around and noticed a few older teachers eyeing me nervously as the younger ones giggled amongst themselves about how 'sexy' I was. I smirked, making them swoon even more. The teachers that knew me, or knew of me and my brother, were chiding the younger teachers for their 'uncouth' behavior.

The Prince walked back out of the room and looked at me. "Go to my office. I will meet you there."

"Yes, your majesty," I snickered and headed back to the office once more, having to ask for directions a few times, and it seemed that every class I walked by paused for everyone to take in my hair and general unusual appearance. I didn't really care if people thought I looked weird. Roxas still let me screw him, so I must be attractive even though I stood out. Screwing Roxas was an appealing thought, but it also made me think of Roxas… and the fact that his dad and my brother were still waiting to hear from me.

I really hoped the Prince knew where he was.


REVIEW PLZ

Sadly, no, the girl isn't Fuujin. Though in hindsight that would have been a pretty good idea. I like Fuujin.
