Chapter 1

Demyx was about to step through the portal when Axel grabbed his arm. He held on as if Demyx would disappear forever.

Axel looked into his blue eyes, and sank to his knees. "Please… don't leave."

Demyx knelt down and cupped his face with his free hand. His lips brushed against Axel's ear as he whispered, "Who said I was going alone?" The redhead looked up in surprise.

"Great!" Axel said, standing up abruptly. "I can't have you buying the wrong ice-cream."

Demyx chuckled. "Yeah, you always set my hair on fire if I get it wrong, Axel-chan."

They stepped through the portal together, and instantly they arrived at Coles.

"Where do you think they keep the popsicles?" Demyx asked.

Axel grinned. "We should do a little searching."

The two of them walked through the shop, eventually reaching the frozen food section. As they approached the shelves stocked with ice-cream of various flavours, Demyx paused and looked in another direction. Axel turned his head and saw him eyeing a section of empty shelves. He could tell from the look on the water mage's face what he was thinking of. Axel was thinking of the same thing.

"Well… should we get some frozen goods?" Demyx asked deviously.

"Most definitely," Axel said. He had a mischievous spark in his eyes that showed he completely understood his fellow black-coated, element-wielding, heartless creature.

Axel briskly walked over to the empty freezer and opened the door. Fog started to spill out, demonstrating that the setting was on a very low temperature.

Demyx looked from the shelves to Axel's emerald eyes. "Say, this looks a bit empty," he said.

Axel scanned the shelves. "You're right. Perhaps we stock it with some of our sea-salt ice-cream."

He gave Demyx a boost onto the top shelf, then jumped up and struggled in after him.

Axel closed the door behind him. Just as he turned around Demyx lunged at him.

Demyx kissed Axel passionately. The cold didn't bother Axel; he kept himself and Demyx warm with his inner flame. Demyx had his fingers tangled in Axel's hair, and kept a firm grip on his head.

Axel kissed Demyx's neck, and started to work the zipper of his coat. Demyx responded with a husky, "Do me."

Axel paused and looked at Demyx. God, he was hot when taking command. "Yes, Demyx-sama," Axel said in a playfully timid voice.

Axel made short work of the zipper that kept Demyx's divine masculine form imprisoned behind it. He then undid Demyx's fly in the same manner. With his teeth.

Demyx was panting now. "Please Axel-chan, just suck it already."

Axel lowered his lips around Demyx's thick cobalt salami.

Demyx shuddered and tried to find something to keep his balance. He fumbled with some nearby boxes, gritting his teeth. He involuntarily wobbled, and his arms buckled. He fell onto his back, feeling the cold of the shelf. Axel yelped and looked up.

"You okay?" he asked, voice shaking slightly.

Demyx shook his head. "Yeah, I just… wasn't expecting it to feel that good," he said. He moved to stroke Axel's hair.

However, a cracking sound came from his wrist, and the skin split on one side. The split continued to open until his hand hung from a thin shred of skin.

It fell to the floor with a plop.
