Author's note:
This is a reconceptualization of my first FanFiction when my username was Chervil-Cress, so a couple of things will be different, however, the premise is still the same! I tried to make it a bit more colorful, previously I felt like a lot of the characters were a bit dull and all bled together, I hope this will improve that!
Just some warning if you have or would like to read the original, I plan on changing a lot of things that happened in the second chapter, It'll take me a couple of months to do so because I will need to read the manga and play the games to get speech patterns and everything just to make sure everyone won't be Out Of Character.
Please feel free to leave criticisms, thanks!
Roxas yawned, rubbing his tired eyes. He'd spent the night before drinking with friends. Closing his eyes, he saw one of those friends, intertwined with his 'other self'. It was pretty awkward, being able to know what Sora saw and felt at all hours of the day. He let out a soft sigh as shame filled him, he didn't want to see this, them. He just wanted to rest but that was impossible. He couldn't sleep, every time he shut his stupid eyes he saw them.
Roxas opened the telepathic channel he shared with Sora, 'You guys have been going at it for hours! I'm trying to sleep!'
Riku visibly jumped, Sora must have made a noise or something. Roxas felt his face grow hot as adrenaline floods him from an unknown source.
'Ah! Fuck! Oh, Riku!' Sora replied unconsciously; suddenly Roxas was filled with a white-hot jolt. His eyes tightly shut as he stifled his moan. He felt his tensed muscles relax as the odd excitement was gone. Roxas internally thanked the stars that feeling Sora's orgasms didn't make him cum.
'If you keep cumming like that you're going to piss the bed!' Roxas scolded his somebody.
'Shut up! Can't you see I'm busy!' Sora shot back, annoyed
'You've been rutting for the last 3 hours!' Roxas cried back as he closed the channel. It had begun to bother the hell out of Roxas, ceaseless sex was now all too common for Soriku.
He stared up at his ceiling, the metal tiles reflected his exhaustion back at him. His sapphire eyes looked almost black in the low light. He noticed a dark mark on his left pectoral, just above his nipple.
Is that a hickey?!
He must have given a stranger a lap dance or something. All he remembered was his first glass, the rest was a blur. Lately, he had started drinking more, in an attempt to numb himself. He desperately needed to be free of this curse tethering him to Sora.
A loud knock pulled him out of his thoughts, he threw his comforter off and he stared up at his reflection. Fuck, I look like shit.
"Eyy, zombie, get your ass outta bed, don't make me commit a B and E!"
Oh, it's Axel, he frantically thought to himself as he got up, off his soft pillow-top mattress. He walked out of the bedroom and wandered into his living room. He threw open the door.
Axel felt his ears burn as a shirtless Roxas greeted him, Shit! his eyes focused on the hairless torso of his shorter friend, the subtle v shape accentuated by the waistband of his boxers. He raked his eyes up to Roxas' pink nipples and up to the hickey on his chest. Axel was briefly taken aback Who the hell marked my Roxas? he hazily remembered that he had. He took a deep breath and forced his eyes off his crush's chest.
Axel nervously looked around the comfortable minimalistic living room in an attempt to avoid Roxas' eyes as he waited to be invited in by his absentminded friend. He waved his hand in front of Roxes' face, "Eyy! Earth to zombie, you don't have a permit to zone out!"
Roxas opened the door wider, letting his friend into his living room. "Sorry, I just woke up."
Axel chuckled, shutting the door behind them. "Yeah, you got shitfaced last night," he said as he occupied the plush chair across from his shirtless friend.
"I guess I did, don't know." He muttered, distractedly.
"You okay?" Axel asked visibly concerned.
"It's... it's nothing, I'm fine." Roxas lied, far too self-conscious to admit his ongoing troubles.
"Well, you're my best friend," Axel gingerly scratched the back of his neck "and I'm here if you need me"
"Did Isa kick you out again?" Roxas asked, his eyebrows furrowed as he watched as the redhead nodded. The shorter man didn't have enough energy to think over the proposition. "I'll need help with rent and the food expenses. I have an extra room, you might have to dust a bit."
"Sounds perfect! I'll need my luggage from Isa's first." Axel combed his fingers through his hair, "Could I have some help doing that? Isa is probably still mad at me."
"Does Isa still live on 33rd, across from that cute cat cafe?" Roxas asked, making sure he knew exactly where he needed to go.
"Yep! That's the place. His apartment is on the 2nd floor, the 3rd door from the right."
"Well, It'll be a few hours before I can do that. I'm hungover."
"But Roxas! I need my shit now! That fucker threatened to burn it if I didn't get it picked up before 6!"
Roxas stared blankly at his friend, he didn't have enough willpower left to stand his ground. Roxas ran his hands over his face, clearly exhausted and aggravated by the demand. "Fine! What all do you need?
Axel thought for a moment, "Basically everything in my dresser and on my side of the bathroom."
Roxas got up from his chair and opened his bedroom door. Axel followed in tow and laid on Roxas' bed. Roxas murmured while skimming through his belongings for a pair of pants and a shirt, pulling them on.
"Make yourself comfortable, I'll be back in a few," he said while exiting through his bedroom's window, onto the rickety fire escape, and onto the concrete alley below.
= Meanwhile, at Riku and Sora's =
Sora groaned, stifled with an intoxicating bite on his lover's neck.
"Fuh Sora!" Riku moaned, uncharacteristically.
A bewildered expression crossed Sora's face, he tried to suppress his laughter. That's new, Riku barely ever moaned during sex.
"Shut up," Riku muttered as he snuggled with his boyfriend. They cuddled for about an hour before Riku decided he needed to get some more lube, they had run out in the middle of the 3-hour-long sexcapade.
Riku got out of bed, entering the conjoined bathroom. He picked up a washcloth, wetting it in the running tap. He walked over to the bed and cleaned the strands of cum off of Sora's chest and stomach. He returned to the bathroom and rinsed the cum stained washcloth before slinging it on the drying rack.
Riku sighed and turned on the water until the comfortable tepid water calming his tense muscles. He wondered if it would take longer to satisfy Sora's insatiable need. Deep anxiety bubbled up in Riku's chest, What if I can't provide Sora with his fill and he decides to leave me? The negative thought had swirled around him for the last couple of weeks. I don't know what I would do without my sky. Riku swallowed hard and pushed the thoughts out of his head, he took a deep breath and started washing his hair.
After standing under the stream of water he decided to get out. He put on a pair of basic trousers and a short-sleeved band tee.
He grabbed a jacket and his keys on the way out of their apartment. Locking the door before leaving. He hated driving in an overpopulated hellhole like this one but he couldn't leave Sora. Sora didn't want to live anywhere else, all of their friends lived there and it was convenient. Supposedly it was a great community. Riku doubted that.
Riku looked at the line of bumper-to-bumper traffic, "Fuck this!" Riku muttered, deciding against driving in the gridlock. He loathed walking and detested driving even more. After a while of walking, Riku noticed a head of hair very similar to his lover's, walking a few paces in front of him. Riku caught up, soundlessly and grabbed the shorter man's shoulder.
Roxas almost jumped out of his skin, Oh god, anyone but him! A bead of sweat ran down his cheek.
"Riku? Hey man, where are you headed?" Roxas asked, nervously.
"I don't know, I'm just walking," Riku said chuckling to himself, aware of Roxas shrinking away from him.
"Fair enough, how are things with you and Sora?" Roxas asked a slight hue to his cheeks.
"Pretty well, I mean other than," Riku cleared his throat." Well, you know," he muttered, trying to avoid that side of their relationship.
Roxas smiled shyly, "Yeah, I know. This is my stop. See you in my nightmares!"
"Nightmares?" Riku asked confused as Roxas climbed the stairs to Isa's apartment building.
Roxas didn't have time to talk about this bullshit.
Riku sighed, grateful to avoid discussing his and Sora's sex life.
Riku stopped by a corner store and bought a container of coconut oil and a couple of bags of his and Sora's favorite potato chips.
After leaving the store he turned the corner, starting the half-mile journey back to his apartment. A streak of black moved in his peripheral vision. He scanned the nearby shadows, he was sure he had just gotten a glimpse of a long black coat and a golden eye.
