"Roxas? You're trembling..."
"'t's nothing."
"Oh, come on! Like I haven't noticed that you're scared after every meeting we have."
Roxas let out a shaky sigh as he leaned at the cold white wall. He was afraid, truth to be told. But he couldn't tell Axel about it. It was too childish.
"Is it the new mission?"
"No."
"Larxene's new hair cut?"
"Axel!" Roxas couldn't help but chuckle and smile at his friend.
Good. That was exactly what Axel wanted. To enlighten Roxas' mood from whatever disturbed him in those meetings. He had noticed from the very beginning when Roxas had joined their Organization that he felt uncomfortable in the big stark white room with the metres high thrones and no opportunities to escape from the gaze of the other members. Axel thought it was normal to be scared, or call it to have respect, of the new situation with all the senior members watching you from above like predators. He felt the same way back then when he was first introduced as the new VIII, but he quickly got used to it. Not so did Roxas.
"It's the others looking at you."
"Axel, no! Stop bugging me with that, it's nothing, I told you!" Roxas hated it when Axel kept on asking questions or worse, asuming things that were not true. Well, in this case Roxas had to admit that Axel was really close with his assumptions.
"Tell me what it is and I will stop and maybe I can even help you."
Fine. Roxas, you just forgot that Axel always gets it his way.
"It's Xemnas. He always looks at me. Just laugh, I don't care."
"Wha-? That's why you're so worked up? Roxy, he sits across from you, he can't help but looking at you." Axel tried to surpress a laugh. He really didn't want to make fun of his boyfriend, but that was really childish. Watching Roxas' face taking on every shade of red and a very hard to read expression Axel tried again his best to lift the mood.
"How do you think I feel when Lexaeus always watches me?"
Bad attempt. Roxas scowled and suddenly began to pout. "You're not taking me serious. Xemnas really scares me! I don't like it when he looks at me..."
"Well, you don't like it if anyone looks at you, shorty!" Axel chuckled softly and ruffled the blond spikes. He really didn't want to talk about the 'who's-looking-at-who-to-scare-him' thing any longer. He had better things to do...
Roxas turned an even darker shade of red (if that was even possible) and fumbled uncomfortably at the rim of his cloak. "I like it when........." Roxas' voice faded off and he turned away from the redhead in embarrassment.
Things like that for example.
Axel grinned cockily, laid one finger on Roxas' chin and forced him to look at him. "I didn't understand what you were talking into your non-existend beard. Could you please repeat it?" Axel purred softly in the blond's ear drawing a small whimper from the boy.
"I... I said I like it when you-" Roxas couldn't finish his sentence because as soon as Axel heard the word 'you' he pressed his lips on the other's. Roxas moaned softly and allowed the redhead's tongue to push past his lips. It was a short but breath taking kiss and as Axel pulled away he pecked Roxas on the forehead.
"Maybe I should ask Xemnas to swap seats with me."
Roxas laughed softly and put his arm around Axel's waist. "Maybe you should ask Saix to swap with me!"
Both grinning widely and chuckling they made their way to their bedroom.
