Come home
Come home
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long
For so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all i see is you and me
The fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home
Oh
Roxas picked up the small box of ornaments from the couch and took out a small red heart that he'd recieved from Axel a few Christmas' back. He felt hot tears roll down his eyes as he looked at the shimmering decoration. A soft smile spread across his face. Axel had left earlier in the month for some business that he had to take care of in London. The young blonde was told when he was saying goodbye to his lover that he would be back for Christmas.
To his dismay he recieved a call from Axel last week saying he was not going to be able to make it home for the holiday. Roxas had cried himself to sleep a couple nights after recieving the news. Now he was home by himself decorating the Christmas tree.
Roxas wiped the tears from his eyes and moved closer to the tree to hang it on one of the fake branches. They had to buy a fake tree because Axel's allergies bugged him if they brought a real tree into the house(1).
He sighed and put down the box back down on the couch. He walked off to his kitchen, feeling fresh tears start to well in his eyes. He tried his best to blink them away as he walked to the fridge to grab the eggnog he'd bought. He grabbed a cup that was sitting on the counter and poured the nog into it.
He then sat down at the table. He sighed and took a drink of the creamy liquid. His nose scrunched a bit at the taste. I miss Axel's eggnog... its a lot different from this store bought stuff. He thought. Roxas sighed again. "Axel when will you be home?" The blonde thought outloud. He stood up from the table and took his eggnog into the livingroom with him.
(5 days before Christmas)
Roxas sat beside the tree, placing presents under it. "Why am I even putting presents out? They're only for the things I bought Axel and what I managed to find that he bought me... This is just ridiculous." He thought out loud.
"Really? 'Cause I don't think so." A voice said from behind him. Roxas' head swung around at the familiar voice and saw his red haired lovers face staring straight at him. "Oh God now I'm hallucinating!" Roxas said. The red head chuckled. "No Roxy your not hallucinating. You put me on the web cam remember?" He said. Roxas hit the palm of his hand to his forehead.
"Wow now I feel like a moron. How did I forget that?" The blonde said. "Haha I don't know. But you talk to yourself a lot did you know that?" Roxas grinned and stuck his tongue out at Axel.
"That's 'cause I'm here all by myself and I need some type of interaction through-out the day so I talk to myself." Roxas said, chuckling at how crazy he sounded
"Aww I'm sorry that you have to seem like a psyco because I'm gone." Axel said teasingly. Roxas' grin turned into a soft smile. "Oh Roxas don't cry." He said, his teasing expression turning into a worried look. Roxas looked at Axel confused and touched a hand to his cheek. Axel was right, he was crying.
He wiped away the tears with the back of his hand and sniffed sharply to try and clear his nose. "I'm sorry Ax. I just miss you thats all." He said, putting on a fake smile to calm the other mans worries.
"Oh Roxy. I'm sorry I can't be home for Christmas. I promise when I get back I'll make it up to you, okay?" Roxas wiped more tears from his eyes. "It's fine Axel. I understand, you had to take care of business. Don't worry about me okay?"
"Roxas don't give me that bull. I know this is killing you just as much as its killing me." Roxas sighed and fake smiled at the red head. "J just come back soon okay?" Axel smiled back sadly. "'Course I will Roxy. Hey you didn't put up the star." Axel said. Roxas glanced up at the top of the tree and looked back to Axel. "No. Thats your job Ax. Even if it means a Christmas without it I wouldn't put it up." He said.
Axel frowned. "Hey Roxy I gotta go. Its getting late and I have a meeting in the morning. I'll talk to you tomorrow when I get back okay?" Roxas' mood was now shot to hell.
"Oh o okay. Bye Ax, love ya."
"Bye Roxy, I love you too."
The screen then went black and Roxas frowned. He set out the last of the presents he'd found then picked up his laptop and headed to his and Axel's room.
(In London)
Axel frowned at the screen then picked up his phone. He checked the time then flipped it open and dialed 10. It rang a couple times before there was an answer on the other end. "Ello?" The voice said on the other end. "Hey Lux. Look I have to cancel everything on Christmas Eve and after that till January. I gotta go home, there's a uh minor problem back home." The red head said.
He could almost hear the smile in the other man's voice as he spoke. "I understand Axel, ya can't leave your boyfriend home alone on Christmas. I'll call the company in the morning and tell them that you can't make it to the meeting on Christmas Eve 'cause your mother could possibly be dying." Luxord said. Axel grinned. "Thanks Luxord. I gotta go get some sleep now or else i'll pass out during the meeting in the morning."
Luxord laughed. "Alright. Nighty Night then Axel."
"Night Lux." Axel said before he ended the call.
(Christmas Eve)
Roxas placed a plate of cookies and a glass of milk onto the coffee table infront of the couch. "Axel will kill me if I don't put out cookies." Roxas said, thinking he was talking to himself. "What was that Roxy?" A familiar voice said. He looked over to the kitchen table to see Axel on the screen of his laptop.
"Axel do you hack my web cam or something 'cause I sware I don't remember bringing up my web cam." Roxas said, straightening out from his bent over position over the coffee table.
"Nope. Why do you keep forgetting about me, Roxy? Do you not love me anymore?" Axel said, fake pouting at Roxas. Roxas could see fake tears welling in his eyes. "Axel how could I stop loving you? Your like the other half of me! And how the hell can you make yourself cry like that?" Roxas said. A sly grin crossed the red head's face.
"That my dear Roxy is a secret." He said. Roxas smiled and walked over to the computer on his kitchen table.
"By the way Roxy I just had a perfect view of your ass while you were over there. Those sweat pants makes your butt look devilishly attractive."(2) Axel said, his grin becoming even larger.
"Oh really?" Roxas said, chuckling. "Really." The red head said. Roxas started to laugh.
"Hey Ax isn't it supposed to be light outside in London right now?" The blonde asked. Axel's look turned the slightest bit fearful but soon changed to a look of realization. "Oh yeah. It is light out I just have the curtains closed up." Axel said. "Oh okay. Hey I'm getting kinda tired I'll talk to you in the morning alright?" Roxas said as he picked up the laptop.
"Okay Roxy. Night, love you." Axel said. Roxas smiled a little at the red head. "Night Ax, love you." Roxas closed his web cam and shut him lap top. He made his way to the hall way next to the livingroom and headed up the stairs to go to bed.
(Later that night)
Roxas was startled awake as he heard a large noise come from downstairs. He grabbed his bat and slowly exited his room. He quietly made his way down the stairs and poked his head into the dark livingroom. The light was on in the kitchen so he slowly and as quietly as possible walked over to the kitchen, his bat readied to swing as soon as he found the person breaking in.
He peeked into the kitchen but found nothing as he did. He lowered his bat and frowned into the room. "Maybe I just left the light on by accident." Roxas turned around to leave the kitchen but ran into something warm but hard. Arms wrapped around him and pulled him close, holding him tightly. Roxas looked up from the warm chest to see his red headed lover. Warm tears started to well in his eyes and his vision started to blur.
"A Axel? What are you doing back?" Roxas said, his voice cracking as he did. Axel smiled down at the blonde and kissed him on the forehead. "I couldn't leave you alone on Christmas." Axel said. "So I canceled everything and came home on the first plane back." Axel pulled the small blonde over to the couch and sat him down on his lap.
More tears started to roll down Roxas' cheeks and he started to shake as sobs racked his body. Axel rubbed his back comfortingly as Roxas wrapped his arms around Axel and hugged him tightly. He looked up at his lover and smiled at him.
"Thank you for coming back, Axel. Thank you so much." Roxas said. The red head smiled at him and Roxas pulled him into a kiss. "It was nothing, Roxy." Axel said as they separated.
It wasn't nothing. It was everything. Roxas thought as he snuggled into the red heads chest.
"Hey Roxas?" Axel said. The blonde looked up at his lover.
"Yeah?"
Axel held up a small box to the smaller male. Roxas took the box and opened it to find a ring with a small red heart in the middle of it. There was a design around the red jem. Roxas gasped and looked up at Axel with wide teary eyes.
"Will you marry me?" Axel asked. Roxas stared at him for a moment. He was at a loss for words. Axel raised an eyebrow before he spoke again. "Roxy, will you?" Roxas' smile grew large and he nodded. "Yes Axel! Of course I will!" He said.
He shoved his face into the crook of Axel's neck and let more tears leak from his eyes. He tightened his grip on the red head.
Axel moved Roxas' face from his neck and pushed his lips against the blondes. "I love you, Roxas." He said as they broke apart.
Roxas put his forehead against Axel's and looked at him lovingly. "I love you too, Axel."
