Welcome to Gaia! ::

Demyx sniffled, looking up at Axel as he was walking away. Demyx was sure Axel was right, but still... Sora called Riku... He called Riku to come pick him up. "Roxie," he mumbled, looking up at him. "You just... I mean... God, I know I'd treat him right, you know? I try my best to keep him happy, and I always feel like we're connected... I...I knew he liked Riku when I started to feel like this... I just... I guess it's just really hitting me hard, ya know?" he tried to explain in a quiet voice, wiping his tears away as they rapidly fell down his cheeks. Roxas frowned deeply. "Oh, Dem... You know it's hard for him to settle down with one person... I know you two are really close to each other. You just... You'll have to wait and see how everything turns out," he said softly, rubbing his back. Demyx sighed deeply and rested his head on Roxas's shoulder, the smaller blond holding him comfortingly. They were silent for a few moments as Demyx calmed himself down. He said quietly, "So you and Axel are getting back together?" Roxas smiled softly. "Yeah... We...we're gonna see how this week goes, then we're gonna talk... And we're gonna work on a lot of stuff... But...I'm really hoping we can fix some things and make life for all of us better... Hopefully a lot less fighting and a lot more talking about things..." Demyx smiled up at him. "I'm glad... I've really wanted you two to work things out... You're really good together. You just fight so much... I'm glad you're trying to work things out... And I think that once we all sit down and have a much-needed talk that Sora'll actually understand, too. He just thinks that you're doing this like you used to...that you're lonely and Axel's just there for the time being... I really hope everything works out between you two..." Tears came to his eyes again, but didn't spill when he said Sora's name. Roxas frowned as he noticed. "I...I'll call him tomorrow, okay? I'll apologize and ask him to come home..," he told him softly, stroking Demyx's hair. "I need to start growing up and fessing up to the s**t I cause... I don't wanna lose Sora. Not over a misunderstanding like this..." He leaned back to glance in the kitchen and check on Axel and the tea-making...when he noticed Saix's back facing him. "Dem..," he said softly, "I think you need to go talk to Saix," he suggested. Demyx sat up off of Roxas and glanced over to Saix. Then he looked back at Roxas and sniffled, smiling softly. "Thanks for keeping my head on straight..," he said gratefully. He stood then and walked into the kitchen. He came up behind Saix and hugged his shoulders tightly. "I'm sorry," he mumbled against his back before sitting beside him. "I know I get caught up in my life a lot...and I forget to spend time with you... And I forget to tell you about what's going on... But I couldn't hope for a better big brother... You're awesome and you put up with all of my s**t. And you make sure I'm okay, and I never thank you for any of it... I'm sorry." Demyx looked up at his brother, a timid smile on his face.

Roxas smiled as he watched Demyx walk away to talk to his brother. He knew Saix was worried about Demyx, but he wouldn't try to get into his business. He was a great big brother...unlike himself. He always picked on Sora and couldn't control his mood swings around him, yelling at him sometimes. He sighed at himself, disappointed.

"What?! Why the hell did they ******** do that?! What the ******** does he see in him?!" Riku yelled angrily, gripping the steering wheel as his personality changed again. His foot seemed to get heavier, too, because he began speeding up. Luckily, there weren't that many people on the road. Then he glanced over at Sora as the word "friend" came out of his mouth. "I thought...we were more than that, Sora..," he said, voice going soft and foot and hands relaxing as he slowed down and seemed to have more control over the car. "You know I want to be more than that... Why can't we just be together? Then you could be all mine, and we wouldn't have to worry about Demyx or Axel... We could always be together in my apartment, and you wouldn't get wrapped up in all of their drama." He walked over to Sora after he got out of the car and held the brunette's face in his hands. "And you can get Roxas to come stay with us, too. All three of us could be happy living together. You'd never have to go back there..."

Demyx smiled when Saix hugged him. He hugged him back, resting his chin on Saix's shoulder for the duration of the hug. When Saix asked if he would tell, Demyx got a little hesitant. "Sai... You know I love you...but you hospitalized all of my boyfriends and exes in high school... I'm still kinda not over that," he said, an awkward chuckle escaping his lips. "But...I do want to let you into my life again... I just don't want you to go beserk on everyone again..."

Roxas got up off of the couch after a few more moments and sidled into the kitchen, standing beside Axel with his back leaning against the edge of the counter. "How's the tea brewing?" he asked quietly so he wouldn't interrupt the brotherly moment happening in the same room. He smiled a little, looking up into Axel's eyes.

"I-I just want both you and Roxas to be happy, Sora... I thought I could make you happy...and if you're happy, Roxas will be happy, right?" Riku kind of saved himself, lifting Sora's chin to look him in the eye again. "Let's get you inside, okay? Let's get you warmed up," Riku said, repeating himself as he lead Sora inside the apartment. He immediately closed the door and turned the heater on so the brunette would warm up quickly. "I'll make you some cocoa, too!" Riku said, bright smile on his face now. "And we can watch a movie together!" he shouted brightly, hurrying off to the kitchen.

Demyx smiled wider the more Saix confessed and talked. He hugged him tightly again. "I'm so proud of you, Puppy! You're really trying!" he said excitedly, a brotherly pet-name from childhood slipping out. When Demyx was smaller, he had issues pronouncing words, mainly "b"s. When he tried to say "brother", he made it as far as "bubby", but since he had a speech impediment, he said "puppy". From then-on, Demyx called him "Puppy"...until he got mad at him and started pushing him out of his life. Now he was warming up to him again. He pulled back from the hug again and smiled brightly at his big brother.

Roxas couldn't keep the smile off of his face as Axel brought back the charm. He hooked his wrists behind Axel's neck and smiled up at him as they spent the small moment together. "Good. I need some relaxation after today. Hopefully the tea will help with that...and maybe some cuddling on the couch and a movie..?" he asked questionably, a curious, cute smile on his lips.

Riku frowned as Sora suggested he take his medicine. Was something wrong with him? Did Sora not like him without his medicine? He poked his head out of the kitchen to say something about it. Then he grinned widely as he heard that it would make Sora more comfortable. "Okay! Let's go to the kitchen, and I'll get you some water and pain medication!" he said happily, grabbing on to Sora's hand and walking happily back into the kitchen and over to the sink. He put a pot of water on the stove to boil for the cocoa then got a cold glass of water for Sora. He dug through a cabinet for some pain medication and dumped two of the pills out, setting them on the counter. Then he grabbed his own medication. He got himself a glass of water and took his medication, smiling down at Sora afterwards. He just couldn't ignore the fact that he and Sora were so close and leaned down to kiss his forehead gently, quickly moving down to his nose then cheek...then he rested his hand on Sora's cheek and kissed his lips deeply, closing his eyes to enjoy it fully.

Demyx grinned brightly at him. "I'm glad we're not fighting, too. I missed my Puppy." He hugged him tightly then turned his attention back to Roxas and Axel curiously. He couldn't help but smile at the two of them so close again. It was a nice change...and then he thought of Sora and frowned almost instantly. He knew what Riku was probably trying to do... Roxas, noticing Demyx's sudden change in attitude. "I...don't mind them joining us, but...Axel, I think you should call Sora real quick before we do anything and try to get something sorted out. At least apologize...and I want to talk to him, too." He looked up at Axel, wide, blue eyes staring up at him, pleading him to call Sora.

Riku gently backed Sora up against the counter and deepened the kiss, other hand resting on the brunette's hip. He grunted softly as he pulled back from his lips and kissed down his jaw on the non-bruised side of his face and down his throat. He nipped and licked and sucked at the tender skin, pressing their bodies together heatedly. "Oh, Sora..," he breathed against his skin hotly, already fully erect as he pushed his hips to grind slightly against Sora's.

Roxas smiled a little at Axel as he actually got out his phone and called Sora. He hugged him gently and laid his head on his chest. He listened to Axel's heartbeat, soon joined by the rumble of his voice deep in his chest. It was very soothing, and he found himself fighting to keep his eyes open as he listened to the one-sided conversation. "Don't forget I wanna talk, too..," he mumbled softly at some point.

Riku grunted a little in disapproval when Sora looked at his phone. He wanted to continue touching him... He wanted to throw him into a world of bliss... Riku's world of bliss. He snarled even more when he heard that Axel was the one Sora answered the phone in the middle of foreplay for. He continued to slip in some teases by nipping at the brunette's collar bone, trying to see which of the two was the better option right then.

Roxas blinked up at Axel as his arm tightened around him and he heard Sora's voice through the phone. Then he heard the dial tone when the phone went dead. Roxas's eyes narrowed as he pushed himself away from Axel a little, tense. "Oh, I don't think so," he spat out. He quickly turned and walked to the door. He grabbed his coat and slid some shoes on quickly. "C'mon, Demyx. We're goin' to get your man from that dickwad," he hissed out, venom dripping with every syllable.

Demyx, who was already on his feet and pulling his jacket on with an angry look on his face, grabbed his car keys and headed out the door without a word. Oh, he knew where Riku lived. Oh, yes, he knew. Roxas walked quickly back to Axel, kissed him on the lips hard and passionately, looking into his eyes with determined ones as they pulled apart. "We'll be back," he told him with a tense voice as he hurried out to the car, door closing loudly behind them. He hopped into Demyx's front seat and buckled up before the two blonds headed down the road in complete silence.

Riku pouted a little as he was scolded, then got a little revenge by biting at a very sensitive part of Sora's neck that he knew of. when he was pushed away again, he scowled deeply. When the brunette made to walk away from him, something snapped inside of him and he pulled him back to him--perhaps a little too forcefully considering Sora slammed into his chest and the phone flew out of his hand and onto the floor. "I just wanna make you feel good, Sora..," he said in a soft, misunderstanding voice. He ran a gentle hand over the brunette's cheek and looked down into his eyes. He leaned down to kiss him gently once again.
