Love is Mute

I let out a low uneven breath, which was supposed to be a sigh, as I got into Axel's car. The air was cold and nipping at my ears. I had been in the hospital for a week. I have to come back for checkups and shit every month while they think of a solution to my "problem." Axel stayed with me the whole time, and it scared me to think of how long he could stay up. He must've noticed my reluctance to get in, because he gave me a warm smile.

"Go ahead, Rox. You're safe with me."

It wasn't the fact that I thought I wasn't, it was just that I didn't want anything to happen to Axel. I looked down and put on my "I hate life but I'm going to look like I love it" face. He (thank god) didn't see through it. He smiled back at me and pushed down the gas, heading to our cozy little apartment. He sadly tried to make conversation. Just like my Axel.

"Wanna ta- erm- write about it?"

I gave him an incredulous look, one that said "are you crazy?!"

Regardless, I flipped open my pink razor (no comment) and started typing a text into the little box.

Axel, even if I can't tell you, you know i luv ya, right?? Nothin changes?

Send. He told me to hold on until the next red light, which thankfully was only a little bit away.

He read the message and gave me a sorrowful look.

"Roxas, babe, I don't care if you're mute! I love you, and you love me! That's all that matters."

He gave his signature smile.

"Got it memorized?"

In response he got an eye roll. This made him laugh.

"Love you too."

The car ride was, erm- weird the rest of the way back to the apartment. Nothing else was said obviously, just the faint music being played on the radio. We entered the dark room, what we called 'home'. Axel flipped on the lights and the klink of his car keys could be heard in the kitchen.

"Hey, Rox, ya hungry? That hospital food must've made you wanna vomit, huh?"

He snickered and added a smile at the end of his sentence.

I waltzed into the kitchen and smiled up at him with a nod of my head.

He walked past me and ran his long, bony fingers through my blond hair.

"So whatchya feel like, babe?" he asked me.

I thought for a moment, then opened my mouth and closed it.

I walked over to the table adjacent to our kitchen counter and grabbed a pen and a piece of paper.

Well, im not rly pickey tonite. that crap at the ER kinda drained me ne ways. u pick *heart*(1)

I passed him the note and put my face in my hand, which was propped up on the counter.

He skimmed over the note then smiled up at me.

"Ramen it is then!"

I rolled my eyes with a smile. Same old Axel with his ramen and antics.

He grabbed 2 packs of ramen, beef for him, shrimp for me. I never really had a liking for beef, something rare that me and Axel didn't have in common.

He walked towards the microwave, since it was faster than to boil the water, with two bowls in hand. He opened door and popped in the two ramen and water filled bowls that would soon contain my dinner.

"So..."

I looked up and met his eyes. He had that awkward face on, the face he got around me before we started dating, which was 3 years ago.

I was kind of stunned that, for the first time in a long time, Axel was awkward. Because of me and my stupidity.

I tried to sigh, which didn't really work so well.

r u, ah, awkward?? sry im so dumb that i wrecked...i shoulda let u come with me, like u asked...

I turned the note to him with a look of guilt, knowing I was right. I mean, geez, it's the freeway at 10 PM, and I didn't take someone? Gosh, I'm out of it, I guess.

He read, and at the end, a frown was put on his face.

"Roxas."

I looked up at him, almost scared of what he'd say.

"I love you, and you weren't stupid. It wasn't your fault",I internally scoffed "I know what you're thinking, Rox, but believe me. If it was anyone's fault, it was that bastard who hit you's fault."

I glanced at him, and he seemed...sad. Like he wanted to just hug me and kiss me and make it all better, but he couldn't. It wasn't that easy.

"I love you, and you weren't stupid. It wasn't your fault",I knew he was laughing, even though I couldn't hear it. "I know what you're thinking, Rox, but believe me. If it was anyone's fault, it was that bastard who hit you's fault."

He glanced at me, and our eyes locked briefly. I desperately wanted to hug him, kiss him, make it all go away.

But, dammit, it's not that easy...

The "DING!" of the microwave echoed through the unbearably silent house and scared the shit out of me and Roxas.

"Shit!"

Roxas smiled and a look of relief crossed his face. He was walking over to me, probably to whack me upside the head and shove soap down my throat, and wrapped me into a warm embrace. Roxas had the smile still firm on his face with his baby blues closed.

I smiled and wrapped my arms around him, stroking his hair.

Axel started patting my hair, which honestly felt really nice considering I've been ill for, like, EVER. I opened my eyes and looked up at him, gazing into his soft green eyes.

'I love you' I mouthed.

"Yeah, Rox, I love you too."

He pulled me into a gentle kiss and then pecked me on the cheek. He put his soft lips up to my ear, making me shudder.

"Your food's done, Roxy." Axel's breath was hot on my ear, my eyes lidded.

I nodded my head, ready to eat my nice, warm shrimp ramen.

But god I want Axel more.

Out of the corner of my eye I swear to holy Jesus himself (2) the redhead smirked big and wide.

I scrunched up my nose as I thought one word:

bastard.

Damn, I love him.
