Hey everyone. Camryn here. I know I said I was thinking about continuing Find Your Light but I got inspired to start a Axel and Roxas story. I hope you'll all forgive me and read and enjoy. Remember I love hearing from you.
Walking out of the cafe Axel pushed the other half of his scarf over his shoulder. The winter breeze was starting to get to him. He took along sip out of his coffee and looked up. The trees well on there way to becoming completely gold and red. Looking at phone his Axel sighed. He was late again to Marluxia and Vexen's Christmas party. Hopefully he wouldn't be the only one that was late this time. Heading down the street and around the corner he chugged the rest of his coffee which was only luke warm now he mounted his motorcycle and pushed his helmet down onto his head.
Marluxia sighed heavily, "Blue blazes where is that fire crotch?" He asked annoyed unaware that his dear friend and colleague was behind him.
"You know he wouldn't miss your party." Xigbar said softly as Marluxia took the ham out of the oven. He smiled as the juices ran down the turned to Xigbar, hardly surprised to hear his voice since he often snuck up behind people. "I know he wouldn't miss it but still, it's bad enough that he's usually late anyway to my parties." Marluxia sighed frustrated. "Is it really too much to ask him to show up on time for once?" Xigbar chuckled as he left the kitchen.
The engine of the motorcycle cut off and Axel got off. He pulled off the helmet and looked at his phone for the time. "Seven forty-five." He said with a frown. "Marly is gonna kill me." He said putting his helmet on the bike. He brushed threw his hair with his fingers as he walked up to the door. As he reached the door he could feel his hair start to rise back up to it's natural spikes.
He knocked twice and opened the door. Vexen, Xigbar, Xaldin, and Luxord greeted him as he walked in. "Hey Axel we were starting to wonder if you were going to show this time." Xaldin said with a small smile. Vexen shook his head at the commentary. Not completely disagreeing but not thrilled with how it was phrased. "Sorry guys. I haven't been feeling well. I think I'm startin' to get sick or something." Axel said as he cleared his throat and took off his scarf. Just as he turned his back Marluxia came out of the kitchen. "Well if it isn't the Flurry of Dancing Flames? Finally decided to bless us with your presence?" He asked, voice full of sarcasm. Axel coughed softly. "Sorry Marly. I haven't really been feeling well. I actually haven't been at work for the past week." He said with a slight frown. Marly looked at him blankly for a moment then frowned a little upset with himself for jumping to the conclusion that he was doing this just because he didn't seem to have a sense of time, which Axel also seemed to lack. Marly walked over and embarrassed him softly. "Sorry I was being so insensitive. You don't have to stay." Just as Marluxia was excusing Axel for the evening, Demyx walked in hand in hand with a blue-eyed blonde. Axel's face, nearly instantly, flushed a pale shade of pink.
Marly looked over his shoulder as he heard the door shut."Hey Dem. Who's your friend?" He asked, giving his best smile. The blonde looked up brightly.
"I'm Roxas." He said holding out his hand and giving Marluxia a firm shake.
"Marluxia.", the pink haired one said softly. "It's a pleasure."
Axel watched them as Demyx introduced him to everyone. Finally it came to him. At this point Axel's face lit up slightly before going back to it's regular color. The blonde looked at him and smiled innocently, his eyes as pure as crystal. "I'm Axel. A-X-E-L. Keep it memorized." He said with a grin. "It's nice to meet you." Demyx took Roxas's hand and pulled him off to the side. As he did Xigbar walked over and wrapped an arm around the red head.
"I know that look Ax." He said softly a smile on his face. Purely for show since his voice was low. "My advice...Don't do it." Axel looked at him with an eyebrow raised.
"Mind telling me why?" Axel asked with a raised brow. Xigbar shook his head and looked over Demyx for a moment. "Just trust me. It won't end well." He said gripping his shoulder for a moment.
