It was just a simple, casual brushing of their hands but Demyx knew it took everything Axel was and wasn't to do that. The redhead wasn't affectionate, not at all, because he was fire and fire burned everything and only left ashes. He was destructive, loud, and untamable. He showed little compassion for anything, unless it was something he really wanted, but then he burned that too.
This time their shoulders touched, a bit more pressed and a bit less casual. Axel knew it was taking everything Demyx was and wasn't to make a move. Blondie was so affectionate and so loving, he always had been, for his element was water. Water spilled down and caressed everything, taking over and sliding through every crack and break to fill it up with something. He was collected, soothing, and calm. Everything he did, he put so much time and expression into it. He appreciated little moments and things, and he always healed them too.
Fire melts ice which turns into water and then puts out the fire. Axel couldn't figure out what happened after that, but part of him didn't want to. He wasn't mysterious, for there was nothing to linger in fire, it only ruined. But water held anonymity, leaving space for secrets and questions and answers. He wanted to let Demyx put his fire out and fill every break and crevasse in his being and his heart, because they needed healing. He's burned himself enough, it's due time he cooled off.

Demyx rolled over onto Axel's lap and straddled his hips, his hands rested gently on the redhead's shoulders and stroked down his arms. His lips were soft and cool against the others, which were hot and chapped. Their bodies pressed together in a sensational fashion. Axel could feel the flame in his heart flickering down, and he was kind of okay with that. Opening up didn't mean he was weak, it made him stronger. Letting go didn't mean he was forgetting, just moving on. Fires rekindled and rain still poured, but everything constantly moved.
That was the beauty of life, it always left room for change.
