Yes, I know I shouldn't be starting another story... I royally suck lol. But please forgive me. I've had this burned in to my mind for a while and now have the first three chapters done! My next chapter for Through the Fire and The Flames is almost finished, but not quite. Don't worry I'm working hard on all my other stories (besides Facade, b/c that's currently on pause.) as well, so updates are still coming.

This is a rather strange story that came to me one day while working at well... McDonalds (sucky job). We actually have this gay couple (well not really a couple) who come in together, explaining that they like to get away from their gfs every once in a while. Then BAM, we caught one kissing the other a few days later in the corner of the restaurant. Not like oh'la'la, making-out!, but just like a cute lil kiss and I swear it was the sweetest thing ever. So now the two come back regularly and we often joke with them about keeping them seperated and such. They are some majorly hott boys. Oh to be young and gay!

Anywho, so this is my newest story. It's Akuroku, RiSo, Zemyx, and Cleon (yay I'm learning the lingo!) Bear with me, cuz I don't usually write in 3rd person, and it's a bit difficult for me. I originally intended for Axel and Roxas to have the spotlight, but I might keep it pretty even between all the couples (besides Cloud and Leon), so each chapter will probably focus on a different couple.

Also, take note of a few things. There are a lot of switchen between time periods, so take careful notice of the bold dates.

Warnings: Boy/boy, too many line dividers, and mentions of McDonalds!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Especially not McDonalds (though I do work there)

Read, Enjoy, and Review.

Chapter 1
No Onions!

What was it about an affair that made everything so much more exciting?

Was it the sleepless nights spent sneaking out and making out with another on a park bench?

Was it the way you nearly screamed the wrong name when succumbing to an orgasm?

Was it because of all the times you were out shopping, having a perfectly normal day, then warm and eager hands grabbed you out of nowhere and pulled you in to a tight and hidden embrace?

Or maybe it was because no matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't find the right morals to tell yourself it was wrong, you were already promised to another, the spicy redhead currently in your living room just wouldn't leave, and you're girlfriend was going to be home any moment.

"Axel." The blond whined rather pathetically, needing the redhead to go, but not really wanting him to.

"Hm." Was his only reply.

Another fruitless attempt.

Roxas paced back to the curtained window, his nerves nearly exploding, and pulled the lacy veil back. The driveway below their house was still empty.

"Please? She already suspects enough." He wheeled back to the couch, dropping to his knees and reaching for Axel's fingers. The redhead allowed this action, staring down at their entwining hands before leveling his face with the other.

"'Kay." He whispered, letting the warmer and smaller hand go. Roxas sighed thankfully, his lazy smile dispersing when a car door could be heard from outside. The redhead froze as well, swallowing and backing towards the door.

There was a tense moment when the two boys stared at each other, one looking utterly pathetic with a look of desperation, the other standing a ways away, his eyes smoldering.

Roxas was surprised when the redhead took three easy steps across the room and pulled the smaller's lips to his own, biting softly on his bottom lip before pulling away and grazing the back of his hand against his cheek.

The two boys had met at in a very conventional, extravagent, and picturesque environment. Completely orthodox with mind blowing chat and stimulating surroundings, their first encounter had been so magical, spectators had swooned with jealousy. Of course, the very building they had been standing in had only been the cherry to top their sundae...

McDonalds.

Roxas Strife had been in the middle of a crowning, flawless, and slightly practiced rant of how he would like a Number Two (No onions!), with specifications of no salt on the fries, and little to none of the mustard, when a repulsive and emaciated redhead had scoffed with impatience and mumbled something that traveled along the lines of, "Hurry up."

"Excuse me?" The blond had whipped around, a bitter expression wrapping around his features.

"I didn't say anything." The other had replied, gesturing impatiently back to the register, "But mind finishing your order?"

In a disgruntled manner, Roxas scoffed and turned away, giving the girl behind the counter a look that clearly said 'Give-Me-My-Food-Before-I-Drop-Kick-Your-Ass!', and stepping to the side. The rude man behind him waved politely to the cashier and ordered a few things off the dollar menu.

"I'm sorry... but both of you will be holding a few minutes on the fries." She smiled apologetically to the redhead, but cowered a little as she turned her attention to the other. Roxas rolled his eyes.

Typical.

And if that wasn't enough, the stupid redhead had decided he'd pass the wait by talking... to Roxas.

"Picky enough?" He asked, crossing his arms.

"What's it matter to you?"

"Nothing, nothing." He shrugged and grabbed his cup from the counter, brushing past the shorter blond on his way to the soda fountain. Roxas watched him make his way across the restaurant before snatching his own cup and following behind.

"You live around here?" The redhead asked him, snapping a lid on to the paper cup and poking a straw through.

"A few miles away." Roxas found himself answering.

No... bad Roxas! Replying would only encourage the psycho to keep talking!

"Oh yeah? I'm not from around here. On vacation with some friends. We're staying at a hotel down the street."

"Really? Where you from?" Gah, stop answering!

"California."

"What are you doing on a vacation in Iowa?" The blonde's eyes widened with sheer confusion and he edged back towards the counter.

The lanky stranger smiled and tilted his head, "It's very pretty out here. This is actually my first time here."

Roxas nodded instead of answering aloud, acknowledging the cashier as she gestured to his assembled order. The redhead's was also ready, and after a careful scrutiny of the girl's name tag, which read Olette, he thanked her properly and turned to his new acquaintance, "Want to sit together?"

Say no!

"Sure."

They found a quiet booth tucked behind a wall of glass and gracefully dropped their plastic trays on to the table. There was a nice sized window beside them, allowing them a perfect view of the rain storm outside.

The blond let out a frustrated growl and sighed.

"What is it?" The other asked, concerned.

"I told her no onions." He swept up the two burgers and headed back to the counter to get his sandwiches corrected.

"Roxas!" A familiar voice called from the front door.

The blonde sighed and pulled himself to his feet, entering the small living room with a semi-happy smile, "Hey."

Namine grinned when he came in to view, "Can you help me?" She motioned to several grocery bags on the floor and turned towards the kitchen. He watched her go for a moment before sliding over to the window. He pulled the curtain back, much like he had moments earlier, except his heart lit up when he looked down.

Axel waved eagerly from the street below, winking suggestively, and hopping in to his rental car.

Roxas stared tiredly after the vehicle, even after it had long disappeared.

"Roxas?" He heard Namine's soft voice ask from the other room, "Are you coming?"

Letting the lace fall back in to place, the nineteen year old spun slowly, bending to grab the plastic handles of the bags and lift them with ease.

"I'm here." He announced, entering the small white kitchen. Namine, his girlfriend of two years, nearly melted under his gaze. She was still very much in love with him. They had bought the house about six months ago because Namine's family was rather loaded, which allowed them an infinate supply of money, and her parents thought they should live like a real couple. Which in their 'terms' meant, GET MARRIED! But since the two wouldn't get married yet, they figured this would do.

"How was your day?" He forced a smile and kissed her cheek, settling on to a bar stool at the counter.

"Fantastic! Larxene and I went out to eat at IHOP this morning, and then we picked up Fuu and spent the evening at the movies and grocery shopping."

"Sounds... fun." He lied, spinning the chair in circles.

"What did you do?" She asked from her spot on the other side of the counter.

"Just sat around all day and watched T.V.."

"That's all?" Her smile turned down in a frown, "Well... was there anything good on?"

"Not really."

She paused in her unpacking of groceries to lean across the counter and pinch his cheek, "How you spend your days when I'm not around will always be a mystery to me."

And thank god for that, Roxas noted.
