Middles

Roxas was lying on the grass, and from here, everything looked beautiful.

He felt like a sap for just thinking it, but had little time to recover - Axel plopped down and was lying next to him on the grass, grinning up at the sky. "What'cha thinking about, Roxy?"

Roxas laughed. "How much I love being alone."

Axel laughed back at him, wriggling to get comfortable. "Well, I know where I'm not wanted..." He pillowed his hands behind his head. Roxas snorted.

"You know, when you say that, you're meant to leave."

"I know! You'd just miss me too much." Axel rolled over, leaning on one hand, and smirked. "Where'd your coat go?"

Roxas shrugged. "I left it back in my room. Why?"

"That shirt's a little small."

"...This is something pervy, isn't it?"

"'Fraid so. That's one gorgeous stomach you've got there, hun." Axel lifted a hand and put it on Roxas' middle, right over his exposed bellybutton. Roxas squirmed.

"fuck off. I'm ticklish." Axel giggled maniacally and like a shot, Roxas sat up. "Don't you dare!" He jumped to his feet, knocking Axel over in the process. "Get away from me!" The redhead grinned wide and stood, slowly advancing on Roxas with a serial killer glint in his eye. Roxas was laughing madly, so much that he couldn't breathe, and he doubled over. His tall friend caught him with ease, mercilessly digging his hands into Roxas' sides and laughing all the while. He backed the blonde into the building nearby, grinning still. Roxas looked at him.

"Why'd you stop?"

Axel shrugged. "I had a better idea." He put his hands on either side of Roxas, trapping him. "Any guesses?"

The blonde stared at him. "A-Axel..." He stammered, turning red. "Get lost. S'not funny."

His friend raised his eyebrows. "What's not funny? You're ticklish...why'd you complain when I stopped?"

"Because you'll rape me or something."

Axel leaned in close and laughed sharply. "You wish."

Roxas gave a little growl of frustration and frowned, the mirth having dissipated. "Then what the hell are you doing?"

Axel shrugged. "Testing you. Wondered if you could cope, when you haven't got the upper hand." He smirked. "You really are short, you know. Waaay too short."

Roxas growled again and leapt, making Axel sway on the spot and kissing him fiercely. "You're a fucking tease." He hissed, fisting his hands in the redhead's hair. "Why'd you make me do it?" The redhead's face split in a grin and he shrugged, tickling Roxas' stomach again.

"Because I'm a fucking tease?"

Roxas just kissed him again.
