In case you're wondering...
Yudachi is Japanese for 'Sudden Evening Rain'.
I have decided to write this sequel to 'A Flicker of the Flame',
In order to give more depth and insight into the relationship and struggles that come with having a same-sex relationship in the world today.
I do this because I believe in the 'Right to Love'.
If you truly love someone, nothing should get in the way of that love.
That's what I believe.
So without further ado,
Here is the beginning chapter to..
Yudachi.
Written, at first, in Axel's POV.
I know this might change the aspect a bit, but it also makes it more personal.
Yudachi
-"Yours, mine...Ours."-
::::::::::::::
In this world, there are happy endings and then there are happy beginnings.
I am here to tell you of such a beginning. Of two best friends, broken apart by drugs and fear. Only to be brought back together by that uncertainty.
Stuck together by a special bond.
I guess I'm really just talking about me and my ex-best friend.
He had never stopped being my best friend really....I was the one that changed.
It had started with a dream. Now, who in hell has a wet dream about their best friend?
It haunted me at first. I was almost sickened by it. By the thought of my best friend and I doing such things together...
Then I thought about it more. I found my self becoming intrigued by the thought. Even turned on.
So I knew, or at least I thought I knew what I had to do.
After our last school dance, I left.
Not very far, but far enough that he wouldn't see me. Couldn't hear me. I disappeared to him.
I got into some nasty shit. Drugs of all sorts, along with plenty of alcohol. There were even plenty of chicks I did to try and get my mind of off him.
It never worked.
So Finally, after a year of coming to terms with my feelings...
I came back.
He excepted me.
I thought I would die of happiness.
So this is where we left off.
Starting our life together like always, only more then just friends.
My name is Axel.
A-X-E-L.
Got it memorized?
Oh, and I'm in love with Roxas.
The key to my destiny.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
(3rd person POV)
A groan came from a large lump under the covers that lay over the medium sized bed in the small apartment that belonged to a certain red-head.
The alarm was ringing like crazy as a hand reached out to the nightstand, picking up said ringing object, promptly chucking it across the room.
Amazingly enough, it kept ringing.
Growling loudly, Axel threw off the covers and groggily made his way over to the wall where the alarm clock was ringing for all it was worth, shutting it off and dropping it back onto the floor.
Saturday.
Normally he wouldn't even think of getting of before noon on a Saturday,
But today was special.
Roxas was moving in with him today.
They had decided this about a month ago.
Roxas didn't have all that much to move, but Axel wanted to get things picked up before the Blond even woke up.
Running a hand through his messy red spikes, Axel made his way the kitchen.
First thing first.
Coffee.
-:::::-
Back in Roxas' apartment, the blond sat on his couch, sipping yet another energy drink.
Right now, he wanted to strangle who ever invented the caffeine filled liquid.
He had been up all night, watching random old horror movies and nibbling on Nilla Wafers.
His last night in his own apartment.
Roxas couldn't believe they were already moving in together...
after only two and a half months of officially dating.
Though they were closer then most, he decided, probably because they had known each other for so long before hand.
What ever the reason, Roxas was the happiest he had been in ages.....
All because of /him/.
Axel had to be, the greatest....most caring guy he knew.
Before Axel had come back and told him his feelings, Roxas had thought himself totally straight.
Until he realized something.
Those times he couldn't take his eyes off of Axel..
That wasn't just because he looked up to him.
Those times he went to him, like when his grandmother had died...
That wasn't just because he trusted him.
He knew, that moment that Axel held him, and kissed him...
It had all been because he cared for him.
Glancing at the clock, Roxas sighed.
It was only just after 8:00am.
He doubted Axel was awake yet.
With a soft smile, Roxas got up and looked at the empty boxes he had stacked in the corner.
He might as well get started, maybe even have everything ready before Axel called.
-:::::-
The apartment complex wasn't the greatest. The roof wasn't too good, and there was no awning.
For that reason, it was never a good idea to try and move things in the rain.
That was why Axel had wanted to wait for Roxas to move in. Otherwise, they might have been living together for a month at least already.
Axel had gotten things relatively cleaned up and mostly ready by the time 9:30am rolled around.
He had amazed himself.
The whole apartment was now in good shape, not a speck to be found.
Even his bed was made neatly. Something rarely done.
Now he just had to go check up on Roxas.
With a small smirk, Axel pulled on his jacket. It wouldn't be to bad if the blond was still sleeping, he decided.
After all, then he could have to pleasure of waking him up.
So with that thought, Axel took the stairs three at a time, eager to give Roxas his good-morning kiss.
-:::::-
Roxas was hefting the last fully packed back up on the stack by the door, when he heard the knock.
He wiped his brow, grabbing his volt off the counter and taking a swig before going to the door.
Checking through the peep-hole, Roxas smiled widely.
Opening the door, he let his smile grow, if possible, even wider as he saw Axel's slightly confused expression.
"Hey."
The blond said brightly.
Axel cocked his head slightly, "...Wait a second, your..up?"
Roxas had to laugh at that. Axel could act so slow sometimes...on purpose.
Though the red-head looked slightly disappointed.
"No, I'm sleep walking."
Roxas replied, taking Axel's hand and tugging on it to pull him inside.
Axel looked around as Roxas closed the door.
The place would be bare if not for the couch, and Roxas old bed in the back room.
Everything else was packed up.
The end tables were by the door, and it looked like the Blond had even cleaned up quite a bit.
Axel frowned slightly,
"You should have called me...I would have come over sooner if I had known you were up."
Roxas gave his hand a squeeze,
His smile softening.
"It's fine. I wanted to let you sleep."
The red-head let out a small chuckle.
"That was my excuse."
His eyes sparkled as he leaned down toward the Blond.
Roxas could feel his cheeks heating up slightly as their lips met.
When they pulled apart, there was hardly a pause before Axel bent down to pick up one of the bigger boxes.
Roxas opened the door for him, and as Axel headed out and down the stairs, the blond got a sort of soft dreamy look on his face.
He couldn't wait to get all settled in with the other man.
-:::::-
After a couple hours, Roxas was almost done setting everything up in Axel's apartment.
As he was un-packing the last box, he spoke to Axel who was on the couch watching.
Only by Roxas' orders, mind you.
"They already shut off the utilities, so I won't have to worry about paying anything extra."
The blond said, lifting out a few books and CDs from the box.
Axel nodded, watching intently.
From the moment Roxas stepped foot into the apartment with a box, the blond had become almost just like a mother hen. Un-packing, setting up, re-arranging what was already there.
Axel wasn't even alowed to help.
When he had tried to un-pack one box in particular, Roxas had shooed him away.
"Just go...sit, or something."
He had been told.
So he did.
Just where he could watch Roxas go about his business.
"There!"
Roxas said, sighing as he stood up.
Looking about, it would have seemed more or less like Roxas' apartment now.
The Blonde's things were almost ever where you looked.
Not that Axel minded at all. It was nice to see Roxas looking so pleased.
Roxas had even moved his dresser into Axel's room, stuffed with his clothes and things.
Other shirts and such of his hung in Axel's closet.
At the moment though, Roxas looked puzzled.
"Uhm...Ax, how are we going to fit my bed in your room?"
He asked, a slight frown over his soft features.
Axel tried his best to hide his smirk, shrugging his shoulders.
"It won't fit. My room's too small...and there isn't another bedroom."
Roxas looked skeptical,
"But you said there was room enough for the both of us!"
he said, with an almost pleading tone in his voice.
Axel stood, holding up his hands.
"I did, I did..and there is."
He started down the hallway.
"Let me show you."
Roxas sighed, crossing his arms over his chest as he followed closely behind.
Axel entered his room, and promptly plopped on the bed.
"See?"
He said, his smirk hiding no longer.
He motioned to the other side of his spacious bed.
"Plenty of room for two."
Roxas flushed,
"....I knew it."
Palm meet forehead.
Repeat as needed.
Axel sat up, batting his eyes with a fained cuteness.
"Well how eles was I supposed to get you into bed?"
He said almost innocently.
Roxas shook his head, turning around quickly and heading into the kitchen.
With a small frown, Axel followed.
"Roxxxxxx-y..."
He called, peeking into the kitchen as much as he dared.
"....I was only teasing. It's not like I'm going to-...Look, you can even just have my bed if you want...I'll sleep on the couch."
He was amazed to see Roxas taking out a bottle of light wine that he had put in the fridge.
The Blond was...smiling.
This was confusing Axel even more so.
Roxas poured the light red liquid into two tall wine glasses.
Filling them only partially.
He came to Axel, holding out one for him.
As the red head took the glass that was offered, Roxas smiled softly at him.
"I'm not upset Axel. I had a feeling you were up to something, and expected nothing less."
He said, raising his glass slightly with a small chuckle.
It was Axel's turn to blush slightly, his triangle tattoos standing out more then normal.
"So, here's to my moving into your apartment."
The Blond said, blushing slightly as he took a sip of the light tasting liquor.
Axel smiled,
"You got it wrong, Rox."
He said, tipping the bonde's head up slightly.
He kissed him softly,
"Here's to you moving into Our apartment together."
He chuckled, pulling away to take a taste of his own drink.
Roxas flushed a deeper red, looking down as he began swirling the liquid in his glass.
....Their apartment.
It had a nice ring to it.
-:::::-
A few glasses of wine later, Roxas was on the verge of passing out.
Not because he couldn't hold his drink, but he /had/ been up all night.
As Axel and him sat on the couch watching tv, when Roxas started to nod off.
His head hit Axel's shoulder, and the red-head looked over.
What he saw made his heart skip a beat.
Roxas' eyes were closed peacefully, his mouth slightly open. Breathing light and easy...fast asleep.
Axel smiled softly, putting his arms around the blond and picking him up as he stood.
Roxas shifted slightly, snuggling to Axel as the spiky-red head carried him back to bed.
Roxas never once woke up as Axel lay down beside him, covering them both up.
He did, however, cling to Axel like a child would a teddy bear.
Axel chuckled softly as he ran a hand gently through Roxas' hair.
He didn't want to wake up the blond....but he couldn't help leaning down over him and placing a soft kiss on his slightly open mouth.
Axel was surprised when Roxas' arms wound their way around his neck, and those soft slightly parted lips began kissing him back.
He could feel the blond chuckle softly.
Oh, so his little Roxy wanted to play, did he?
Axel smirked into the kiss, quickly deepening it by slipping his tongue into the moist sweet tasting cavern that was Roxas' mouth.
The blond let out a small gasp as his tongue found and danced with Axel's.
This went on until Axel pulled up slightly, both panting softly.
Roxas gave him an almost shy smile.
Axel chuckled slightly, licking his lips as he savored the blonde's taste.
"...Tricky bastard."
He mumbled, shaking his head slightly as he smirked.
Roxas' smile grew into a smirk of his own.
"I learned from the best."
He whispered, pulling Axel down for another mind-blowing kiss.
Roxas pulled away a few moments later with a small yawn.
He chuckled softly as he kissed Axel's nose lightly.
"...I'm really going to sleep now."
he mumbled, snuggling down in the covers, close to Axel's chest.
Axel let out a deep breath, trying to calm his rapid heart beat.
Though he was disappointed, he wouldn't deny Roxas his sleep.
"G'night then, Rox."
He said softly, laying down next to him.
He remembered what happened a few weeks ago, when they first started to get further then a make-out..
-Flashback-
"Nnng....A-Axel."
Roxas mumbled, his head rolling back slightly as he panted.
Axel pulled back from his kissing and nibbling as Roxas neck, running his hands under the blonde's shirt.
Shaking hands found his and stopped them.
"...Axel....I...I-I don't think I can do this yet..."
Roxas' voice came out, his eyes slightly wider then normal as he fought for his breath.
Axel took his hands away, not wanting to cause Roxas to go into an attack.
"Rox, I really want you."
The red-head pleaded, dipping in and kissing along the blonde's jawline.
Roxas let out a small moan, but gently shoved Axel away.
As he stood up, Axel looked slightly upset.
Roxas fixed his shirt and gave him an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry Ax...I just can't yet."
Tears pricked at the blonde's eyes as he left.
Leaving Axel alone on his bed.
-end Flashback-
Axel lay there awake for a while, watching Roxas sleep.
Sighing, he let himself close his eyes as well.
The feeling of sleep soon starting to overcome him.
"...I can wait, Rox."
Axel mumbled before drifting off.
He would wait as long as it took.
He had too.
Poor Axel...
Denied.
XD
Probably not for long though!
