Ewon: This new story doesn't mean we are giving up on our own stories. I just need something to get me out of my rut, and Leven bugged me to do this
Roxas sighed as he rolled around in bed, tucked snugly under his cocoon of warmth. It was yet another lazy Saturday afternoon that caused the exhausted blond to burl deeper into his blankets. The night before was full of fun and games, not to mention a lot of candy.
Yes, Halloween had been yet again concord by Roxas and his small group of friends. It would also be a night he would never forget. The night he saw his best friend soaked from head to toe in pool water, causing his already almost skin tight costume to get tighter and leave nothing to the imagination.
'Thank you Sora for tripping over Kairi's feet and knocking Axel into the pool.' The blond laughed to himself, eyes shut as the rays of sun light tried to break through his curtains.
Beep Beep
Groaning from the noise of his phone, Roxas slipped an arm out of his bundle and picked up the device next to his pillow. "Who the hell-" he grumbled looking at his screen, "is skyping me?"
The name flamedaddyaxel appeared along with a small picture of a smirking red head. Roxas growled and unlocked his phone. He accepted the call and got a full face of a shirtless Axel sitting at on a chair that was placed by his computer desk. He had a towel around his shoulders with his slight damp hair releasing droplets onto his pale form.
Roxas held back his blush and glared at his best friend. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" He barked, not caring that it was almost one in the afternoon.
Axel scratched his head as he tried to remember what time it was, "Like two or something right?" The redhead touched his phone's screen a couple of times to make the time appear, "Oh, it's 1:30, close enough. Why are you still in bed Roxy? The day is young and we need to go out and play!"
"Why are you yelling?" Roxas muttered and round around so he was laying on his stomach. He tucked his pillow under his chest and wrapped his arms around the soft ball of fluff. The blond lay his phone on his mattress, his bed head running wild in the mirrored screen.
"I was up doing chores so I could lazy around like I am right now. Besides, we played yesterday and I'm tired." Roxas said as a matter of fact.
"Aren't you cold?" He asked as an afterthought, eyes looking to Axel's bare chest and towel over his shoulders.
"Why would I be cold? I'm fucking hot!" Axel sent his sleepy and cat like friend his signature smile, "And I was hoping I could steal you away so we could hang out and do debauchery things and shit. You know what we always do on Saturdays? If you're so hell bent on being old and lazy, can I at least come over and we can marathon some movies?" Axel asked in an innocent voice.
Roxas snorted at Axel's overly self-esteem comment about himself. Blue eyes rolled with the shake of his head. "Yeah, that's why you aren't cold, because you're really hot."
'Dear god, please don't let me blush.'
"Anyway, sure. Whatever. Just as long as I can stay in my burrito." Roxas said shuffling around so he could lay on his side. He purposely let his face go off screen so he could calm himself from the embarrassment he felt. It was one thing to be sarcastic about Axel's attraction; it was another to pretend to be sarcastic.
Axel nodded his head, totally ignoring the fact that his friend probably couldn't see him, "Burritos are good. Want me to bring over a bag of frozen ones so we don't starve?"
Roxas couldn't suppress his laughter. He grabbed his phone and stared at his best friend with clearer eyes, sleep wiped from his face. "And hot Cheetos. I want to stuff them inside mine." He said with a bright smile and swore he saw Axel's face tint red for a split second.
Axel shook his head to clear his thoughts. When he regained him composer he grinned at Roxas, promising to remember the food and disconnected the Skype connection.
Once the call ended, Roxas was sure to go offline so he wouldn't get bothered again by the redhead. Although it wouldn't stop him or anyone else calling him normally. "I should just shut my phone off." He whispered to himself, bring the blanket back over his head. "I'll just sleep till he gets here." With that Roxas shut his eyes and let himself feel the bliss of sleep.
Half an hour later, Axel made it to Roxas's house. The front door was locked as usual, but Axel being Axel though had a spare key. After letting himself in the redhead crept into Roxas's room. The sight of Roxas curled up with his blankets firmly wrapped around him made a fond smile spread across Axel's face.
He gently placed the food on the computer table and crawled into Roxas's bed, winding his lanky arms around the sleeping teen's waist.
The blond mumbled in his sleep, curling into the new found warmth that enveloped him. "...asshole...'at's my candy."
Axel had to bite his lip to suppress a laugh. With deft hands the taller teen rubbed Roxas's back, hushing him back into his sleep. This wasn't what he wanted to do during his weekend, but Axel was content and that's all that mattered.
"Mm..you're warm." Roxas mutter, slowly stirring. "Why ya always warm?" The blond yawned and opened his eyes to gaze at his friend. The closeness made his face flush and his eyes snap shut. He buried his face with his blanket to hide his redden cheeks.
"How 'ong you been 'ere?" He asked with a bit of a muffled voice.
"We've been over this. I'm always warm because I'm so damn hot. And I just got here." Axel pulled away to get off the bed and retrace their food, "Time to eat! Hope you're hungry. I also picked up a couple scary movies since we couldn't watch any last night."
Roxas rolled his and popped his head out from his mini cave. "I'm always hungry when I wake up." Roxas unwrapped himself and got to his feet. He grabbed his console controller from his book shelf across the room and turned it on. He shuffled back to his bed and patted the space next to him, signaling Axel to sit and show him the movies.
"I hope they actually are scary this time. I'm tired of seen movies with mild sex in them." Roxas said.
"Well I got Cabin in the Woods. It's a mix of funny and scary. Plus there's a bit of sexy time in it. I also grabbed Halloween 'cuz duh it was Halloween, and Child's Play. What would you like to watch first?" Axel grabbed his book bag filled with movies and other goods before taking his seat next to a Roxas.
Roxas chewed his lower lip, ponder over the choices. "None of those are scary." He said bluntly. "But I guess Cabin in the Woods just to get it over with.
Roxas dug through Axel's goodie bag and frowned at the frozen burrito. "Guess we should cook these first." He laughed putting the item against Axel's face.
Axel yelped in slight alarm at the freezing touch and jumped off the bed with one hand covering the offended cheek, "Goddamit Roxas! That was fucking cold! You fight dirty." Green eyes narrowed into a playful glair, "And if you don't like my choices then why don't we just watch something you like? I can torrent something from your computer while the food cooks."
Roxas stuck his tongue out and climbed off the bed. "It's fine. You went out of your way to rent them." A cheeky grin spread across Roxas face. "I have an idea though."
Roxas left it hanging as he took the bag of frozen goods headed to the kitchen to warm them up. He heard foots steps following after him and could just picture Axel's raised brow and cocky smirk. "For every death of a 'main' character, we have to do a dare. For every topless scene, female or male, we have to speak a truth. Whoever chicken's out has to dress as a pink fairy next year for Halloween."
Axel placed his hand in his hip and cocked his head to the side, "Really? That's the bet? No, no Roxy. The loser has to dress up as a rainbow unicorn. And that's not all! No shirt, booty shorts, and high heels. Deal?"
"Fine. And not matter how cold or rainy it gets." Roxas grabbed Axel's hand shook it. "Next bet will be a tattoo you can never get rid of."
When the two pulled away from the deal sealing shake Axel pointed to the one of the two small triangles under his eye, "You must have short term memory loss 'cuz I already lost that bet. How much longer till the food's done?"
Roxas smiled and looked at the microwave. "Thirty seconds."
'They bring out your eyes.' Roxas thought.
"Are you still pissed at me for making you get them on your face?"
Axel was silent for a while just because he wanted to make Roxas's skin crawl. Once the blond was nice and uncomfortable Axel answered, "Not so much. I mean they're pretty bad ass and people don't mess with me because of them. And their small enough that I can easily cover them with makeup so it'll make find work easy."
Roxas let out a heavy sigh and muttered "Jerk." While Axel just chuckled. The two friends then finished warming up their food and headed back to Roxas' room. They put the first movie in and say back on with burrito in hand.
"You sure you don't want to try putting your hot Cheetos in the burrito?" Roxas asked taking a bite of his food."
Axel looked down at Roxas' meal and felt his stomach churn, "No it's fine. How can you eat shit like that anyway?"
"It all goes down the same hole. Just because you have a weak stomach doesn't mean my food is shit." To prove his point, Roxas took a huge bite out of his food.
Axel faked gagged, "It may go down the same hole but it has to sit on my tongue at the same time and the taste buds do not like." The redhead had to look away from Roxas and focus on turning the movie on so he wouldn't get sick from watching the other teen eat his disgusting food.
"My taste buds love it." Roxas laughed and took another bite, smaller than the first.
For the next few hours that the movies played, the two made mental notes on the number of deaths and topless scenes. As soon as they finished child's play, the sun's bright rays were nowhere to be seen. The night air seeped through Roxas thin glassed window, turning the room into an ice box. Roxas shivered and made a cocoon out of his blankets again, leaving Axel out of them.
"S-so, do you w-want to go first or s-should I?" Roxas stuttered, staring at Axel like an insect ready to be trampled on.
"I guess I can since you didn't like the movies. But before we start, are you okay? I can go turn up the heat."
"'M fine." Roxas unwrapped himself with an idea in mind. He threw the blanket out so it would cover them both and awkwardly curled next to Axel. "Just promise me you won't make me eat ice or dance in a cold shower like last time?"
Axel wrapped himself around Roxas making sure the smaller boy was nice and warm, "It's not my fault you make weird and amusing faces when you're cold. So what's my dare or truth?"
Roxas sighed contently as he got comfortable. He felt his cheeks heat up and his heart pound with the close contact. Though he and Axel have been friends since childhood, they have never once laid so close together in all their time. To Roxas it just felt right and made his heart soar with the thought of Axel not shoving him away, but instead holding.
"Er um. Well I guess it's gonna be a truth first. Let's start with something easy." The blond said, dating to snuggle closer to his human heater of a friend. "What's so amusing about the faces I make?"
Axel looked at the far wall as he tried to think of the words to describe the strange faces, "Well for one it scrunches up and makes you look like you ate the world's most sour lemon and it's pretty fucking funny. And second, sometimes when it's cold enough you make little noises that I can't really describe, but it's equally amusing." Axel nodded his head just to confirm to himself that he was pleased with his answer. "Okay so my turn now. I dare you to...umm...lick the doorknob."
Roxas glared at the redhead and shoved of the covers. "I do not m-make no-noises." He said stomping his bare feet to the door. With a quick noise of complaints about the cold and licking germ cover objects, Roxas licked the nob and crawled back into bed, taking the blanket back for himself. "I dare you to lick my foot."
Axel blanched at that, "You want me to eat your toe jam? I really wanna say no but I wanna see you dressed as a practically naked unicorn. Fine give it here." Axel grabbed Roxas's foot and twisted the blond till his foot was in the redhead's face and his head was hanging off of the bed.
Axel ignored Roxas' cries of protest as he dragged his tongue from the base off the foot all the way up to the tip of a toe. Once he was done Axel threw the foot away and reached over to grab a soda he had poured earlier and downed it.
Roxas entire face went cherry red. He really thought Axel would have said no and gave up. He wasn't expecting to actually have his foot licked. His slick tongue gave him a strange sensation and made him shiver, though he blamed it on the cold room. Even the remark about seeing him naked was enough to cause him to die from embarrassment.
"That's just nasty." Roxas wiped his foot on the sheets beneath him, trying to play it off. He then once again rearranged the covers so he was sharing again. "You're lucky my foot is clean. Now what's my truth?"
"Trust me dude, that limb was not clean. I can still taste it." Axel made a disgusted face and took another swig from his drink, "Do you like anyone?"
Roxas glared at Axel but the moment the question was asked he looked away. "Y-yeah. Uh same question."
"Ah...it's kind of complicated. I think at this point it may be a bit more than like." Axel awkwardly scratched one of his tattoos and coughed, "So it's dare now right? I dare you to give me all of your Halloween candy."
"Oh..." Roxas kept his gaze away from Axel as a sharp pain in his chest stabbed at his heart. 'Act normal.'
"You know, I would if you didn't eat it all last night with Naminé and Sora." Roxas crossed his arms and pouted at his best friend, daring to make eye contact. "I only have a Kit-Kat left. Here." He said taking said chocolate from his candy bag beside his bed.
"I dare you not to ask me who I like while you spill the beans about who you more than like." He said with a small smirk of victory.
'Even if it'll hurt me in the process.'
Axel opened the Kit-Kat and split it in half so he could share it with the suddenly shy blond, "Oh I do not dare say. I don't think you'd be happy with me."
"You have to or you're dressing like a unicorn next year." Roxas took the candy with a thanks and nibbled on it.
Without saying anything Axel swooped down and captured the blond's chocolate covered lips. The kiss didn't last long when Axel pulled away. A deep crimson blush spread across his face.
Wordlessly Axel pulled out of the blankets and into the cold air of the room. Green eyes were downcast, "I'm sorry."
With wide shocked eyes, Roxas stared at his best friend with a tomato red face. "Y-you just...kissed me." He whispered more to himself than asking while touching his lips with the tips of fingers. His gaze straying from Axel's own crimson cheeks to his bed. He let out a breath laugh, sitting up straight, he shook his head, "I don't understand...I dared you to spill your secret and yet you..."
Not being able to say again what Axel had done the blond bit his lower lip to hold back any and everything he might say something wrong. 'Is this a joke? Why are you sorry? Damn it.'
A bitter laugh escaped Axel, "How oblivious can you get Roxas? I did spill my secret. And if you don't get it then I guess it's better to leave it at that."
Roxas got off his bed and moved to stand in front of Axel, serious azure eyes staring up into sullen green of the taller teen. "How long?" He asked knowing he didn't have to finish the question. The teen desperately wanted to know how long the older teen had these feelings for him. Surely they couldn't have been there for as long as his own. Roxas had figured out his feelings in elementary school and even then his friend never once showed any signs of liking anyone but the random girls that gave him things and tried to win his affection.
Axel's shoulders slumped in defeat. He was so sure his dopey friend wouldn't have caught on, but he guessed he was wrong, "I don't know. Maybe since the beginning of the school year when I walked in on you in the shower? That seems really creepy I know, and if you don't want to be friends anymore or pretend this never happened then I understand."
Immediately Roxas face became a whole new shade of red. If it was possible, steam would be rushing out if his hot ears. He remembered that day and he couldn't even look at Axel without shying away with the knowledge that Axel had seen his body. "Damn it Axel! I told you to never mention that again!" Roxas shouted and shut his eyes, looking like a school girl with the way his body tensed up and his foot stomped on the carpet.
"Sorry," Axel apologized again for the hundredth time that day, "I guess I just keep fucking everything up. I can leave if you want to be alone. And don't feel bad, I understand." The redhead couldn't meet Roxas's eyes as he stood at the edge of the bed and nervously kicked the carpet.
Roxas kept his eyes glued to the floor, his face remained red and hot. With a shaky breath Roxas shoved Axel so he was sitting on the bed. The blond ignored the confused look the older teen gave and settled himself between his legs. He gulped and leaned down, returning the chaste kiss he got a while ago. "It's your turn to ask me a truth."
Axel couldn't close his mouth or find his voice so the dumbfounded redhead resembled a fish for a moment making Roxas giggle. When his mind finally caught up to him Axel was able to ask, "Why did you kiss me?"
"Do you really have to ask?" Roxas got what little courage he had and kissed Axel again, letting it last a little longer, before he pulled away again. "I like you...I've liked you since we were kids." He admitted, slowly shying away from him, taking small steps back.
Before Roxas could get too far away Axel reached out and captured his wrist and pulled him back to the bed so their chests were pressed tight together, "Well this puts us in a delicate situation don't you think?"
"Um." Was all Roxas could say. 'So close.' His hearts pounded in his chest, rapidly. Roxas avoided Axel's Cheshire grin and mischievous gaze that told him what thoughts ran through the redhead's mind. "Uh..."
Axel couldn't contain himself. Roxas just looked so cute and venerable. He reached up so he could pull Roxas closer to him. Axel pecked Roxas's soft lips. When he got bored of that, Axel deepened the kiss and slipped his tongue into Roxas's mouth.
"Mm!" Roxas' eyes shot wide open. The surprising feel of Axel's tongue in his mouth made his body shiver. How long had he been waiting or a kiss like this? Too long for his liking, however, Roxas was into much shock to enjoy it. He turned his face away, gasping for air. He opened his mouth to say something but a soft noise escape when he felt Axel's mouth against his neck.
Axel sucked and nipped at the sensitive skin making sure to leave his mark on the blond. He was almost desperate to mark Roxas's as his that he didn't notice he was drawing a bit of blood.
"Ahh Axel...stop." Roxas moaned trying to pull away from his friend. As much as he wanted more, he knew they were moving too fast. The blond gasp when he felt his groin rub against Axel's in his attempt to get away. Axel's own groan sent his hot breath to blow over Roxas' wet flesh. "Stop!" The blond yelled shoving Axel away, making him land on his back while Roxas retreated to the wall across from him.
Axel stared up at the ceiling with wide, shocked eyes. What had he done? Had he just blown his chance to be something more with his best friend?
It took a while, but finally Axel gained the courage to sit up and face Roxas, "I should go home. Call me." Axel didn't waste any time with fleeing from the home. He was in such a rush that he forgot his bag.
Roxas slid against the wall, regretting shoving Axel away like that. He knew his friend would be long gone by now and it was too late to say sorry and fix things. He would have to wait until they saw each other Monday morning. That was unless he snuck out and went after him in the dead of night. His parents had come home during the movie marathon and he knew full well they would never allow him to leave at this hour.
The blond groaned and got off the floor, walked to his bed with his eyes cased to the ground. In the corner of his eye he spied Axel's bag laying around. 'He must have forgot it.' He thought to himself, picking the bag up and sat on his bed with it on his lap.
With this as an excuse, maybe he could get Axel to come back so he could explain things. Roxas licked his dry lips, still tasting Axel on his tongue, and picked up his phone. With nimble fingers Roxas called his best friend.
