Disclaimer: So the KH fangirl said to Nomura, "Can I have Kingdom Hearts?" and Nomura was like, "No way, it's mine."
Author's Note: I totally fell in love with AxelRiku thanks to a RP on LJ. They... make such a good couple, don't they? I'm planning on a chaptered fic for them.
Um, this is the first time I've ever written something like this so... yeah.
We Pretend
Whenever they were together, they would pretend that they were in love.
One would whisper sweet nothings into the other's ear, promising a life of luxory and joy that they both knew they couldn't have.
They'd tease each other. Axel, commenting on how many hours did it take for the boy to get his hair so shiny; Riku would reply with a sarcastic remark about his lover's eyeliner. They were trying too hard.
The two took great pride in their sex lives. They would flaunt their bodies in front of each other, even with other people around. Every now and then, Axel might jump at Riku while someone was telling a joke, or Riku would impatiently tug at the redhead's pants in a crowded room. They were often told that their love was refreshing—they knew better.
Sometimes, Riku would slip on a pudding and fall, and as if by magic, Axel would always be there to pick him up. Riku didn't want help; Axel knew that he didn't.
And when in bed, as Riku dug his nails into the older man's back, Axel woud say that he loved him. He'd repeat the words until he finally released, causing the silver-haired teen to shiver as the cool liquid hit his back. The three words Axel uttered were soon forgotten.
Only when their bodies were intertwined together on the wet, sticky blankets would they stop and wonder if they were truly happy with the way things were.
But pretending to be in love wasn't as painful as the real thing.
