It was all Axel's fault. Axel and that stupid maze. Because now Roxas couldn't get the soundtrack from Chicago out of his head. And it was driving him fucking bat-shit.
The day they had gotten back from that god-forsaken place, everything had been fine. There had been teasing and punching and then kissing and everything was good. And then about two days later it started again and it since hadn't stopped.
Those 'two days later' had been a week ago.
Somehow, he'd managed to hide his newest cause of irritation from Axel. Catching himself humming and stopping just as his boyfriend appeared through a doorway, tensing his body to avoid even the smallest amount of dancing (because that was something he just couldn't do).
Maybe Axel was having the same issue. Or maybe he'd done it just to torture his lover. But one day, Roxas had come downstairs to the sounds of Chicago blaring from their TV.
Groaning quietly and immediately going to the kitchen, the blonde unsuccessfully tried to keep the music from entering his brain. But the musical composers had done their job well, and the catchy tunes slipped through his defenses, worming their way into his mind, making him relax and forget the consequences of what he was about to do.
Completely unaware of it, Roxas started to hum along to He Had it Comin'. The song had just started, and already he was lost. It continued, crescendoing as he remembered it did before settling in for the last story from the six merry murderesses of the Cook County Jail. And now he wasn't just humming, he was singing along. Rather loudly, in fact. And of course, including the instrumental parts. Loud enough to be heard by the redhead in the next room.
Grinning to the point where the Cheshire Cat would've been proud, Axel ever-so-quietly got up from his seat and snuck into the kitchen, eyes narrowing just slightly as he tried to contain his laughter at the sight of his boyfriend, beginning to dance ('dancing' in this case being bobbing the upper half of his body to the beat). Oh, it was just too good. And he was going to take every advantage of the situation; Roxas being distracted enough by the sounds of the movie that he hadn't heard the quiet steps coming up behind him. It had all been going so well until the blonde had elbowed him in the stomach, driving all air from his lungs in both a whoosh and a pained grunt-and-a-groan.
Whirling around, eyes wide, Roxas stared at the other man for a long moment, taking in the sight of Axel bent over at the waist, one hand on his stomach, the other clutching the edge of the counter to keep from going all the way over. He blinked, and then a wicked smirk slid across his face.
Crouching down slightly, he placed a finger under Axel's chin and tilted it upwards, smirk widening into a full on grin at the wince in the others face.
"You had it comin'." He chuckled, cutting off any kind of retort with sealed lips and a kiss.
