Summary
Growing up is finding out who you want to be. But what happens when that person is someone you're not allowed... not expected to be?
For Roxas, the arrival of a transfer student, and then a new neighbor sets him down that path of self-discovery. But will he play along and live the life that his dad, the small-town preacher, has planned for him? Or embrace the person that he wants to be. That the new neighbor, the older neighbor who is like Roxas, who's seen so much, encourages him to be.
The man says he simply wants Roxas to have a better life than he's had so far.
But what does Roxas want?

Summary
Roxas lifted Axel’s hand to his lips and kissed the backside of it, soft and lingering. "This could’ve been your lips if you did less talking." He kissed it again, and Axel suddenly knew what it felt like to be the lit end of a cigarette. Why did it have to be so hot? Why couldn’t Roxas just let him crawl under a rock and die? He could probably still get bubonic plague if only there were a flea-ridden rat in sight…
"Let’s go." Roxas began to pull Axel along. "Let’s get some weed and liquor. You need to come down."
Axel thought his life as a body modification artist in NYC was going to be a lot different--less drugs, less violence, way more positive notoriety. Now Riku's running off to Japan to rekindle some long-lost romance; Demyx is constantly verging on overdose; Naminé is trying to keep the studio together; and Leon's getting pretty sick of all their shit. At least his new apprentice is cute and bitchy and young--just the way Axel likes them.
