This story is coming out so well, especially the reviews they're so positive :D So thanks my lovely readers!!
It took me forever to write this today lol because I was in my living room typing this while a real good movie was playing on TBS so everynow and then I would get distracted and get tuned in on the telly. :
But the good part of all is I got it finished so YAY for me :DDDD
"No fucking way! Do you like Axel?" Yuffie asked getting all excited.
"Shh," Roxas calmed her down looking around to make sure the red head wasn't around to hear any of it. "Keep it down, I don't want Axel to find out."
"Hehe sorry," Yuffie chuckled, "I personally think this is sweet."
"Ngh it doesn't feel right to like another guy."
"I still think its sweet that you came out of the closet for Axel."
Roxas shrugged,"I'm not against homosexuality or anything like that but... I never thought I would be attracted to someone who's the same sex."
"I understand and I know it will be hard, but let me tell you this Axel is a great guy and he would treat you like gold." said Yuffie.
"You think so?" Roxas said growing a smile upon his face.
"I know so."
"Heh thanks Yuffie," Roxas chuckled scratching the back of his head.
"So are you going to tell him or just keep it a secret?" Yuffie asked.
"Keep what a secret?" Axel asked as he walked into the lounge to grab something to drink.
Roxas shot a quick glance at Yuffie that read: 'If you dare say anything to Axel I'll kill you' kind of look. Yuffie winked at Roxas and placed her hand against her lips pretending as if she zipped her lips shut. "My lips are sealed," she whispered.
"You two better not be talking about me," Axel joked.
"Haha its nothing we're just talking about the...umm photo shoot," Roxas lied with a cocky grin on his face.
Axel chuckled, "I'm just kidding."
"We've been here for a few hours now," Yuffie yawned, "I think I'm gonna head on over to my place."
Yuffie got up out of her seat and gave Axel a hug goodbye, "Axel how long are you planning on staying here in New York?" She asked.
Axel shrugged, "I'm not sure, I may for a couple days or even leave tomorrow back to L.A."
"What about you Roxas?" She asked.
"I'm really not sure."
"Well it was nice meeting you and I'll look forward to seeing you again," She winked once more at him. Causing the blond to turn all shades of red, he felt weird knowing that she knew his little 'coming out' secret.
Axel talked with Yuffie as the walked to the elevator, Roxas kept on eye on both of their expressions since he couldn't hear them. He was hoping Yuffie would keep her word and not say anything to him. So far it looked like she was talking business with Axel, he saw Axel fold his arms and keep on nodding his head. They gave each other one last hug and said their goodbyes.
Roxas finished up his drink and went over to the trash can to throw away his cup. "So..." Roxas turned around and saw Axel leaning in the doorway. "Would you like to head on over to my place?" Axel asked.
Roxas knew if he said 'no' that Axel would still convince him to come anyways, "Sure, I'm ready when your ready." Roxas answered.
"Wow...Nice place you got here," said Roxas as he walked into the front entrance of Axel's pent house apartment.
"Its quite big, I think its a little over 10,000 sq. ft. Follow me and I'll show you," Axel walked in front of Roxas and lead him down the front entrance hallway, "Right here is the dining room, we usually eat in here only during Christmas and Thanksgiving, sometimes Easter but we usually celebrate Easter on the west coast." Axel explained.
"Its real nice, you seem to like the color red," Roxas noticed. The carpet was a dark blue but it was so dark it looked black the wood from the furniture was a mahogany brown with red china and vases.
"What can I say its one of my favorite colors," Axel chuckled, "Now across from the dining room we have the office, I don't do on-line business but I use the computer to surf the web occasionally."
"Nice," Roxas said checking out all the latest software the redhead owned.
"Now if you come down here to the end of the hallway you'll see the best room in the house. The living room." Axel said grabbing onto Roxas arm and pulling him down the hallway. When Roxas saw that Axel was holding onto his arm for those five seconds he couldn't help but notice how soft and warm Axel's touch was, it felt kind of nice to feel him touch him again.
He took his mind out of fantasy land and set his attention to the room he was in. The living room was big along with a flat screen tv to match it, a view of Manhattan out the window and probably the most expensive furniture Roxas has ever layed his eyes on. And to make it even better Axel owned every game console there on was on the planet.
"This is sick Axel, and its not just the room but the view and everything in here is awesome," said the blond walking further into the room checking out all the paintings and the fish tank in the corner.
"And of course the kitchen is tight too," Axel chuckled turning on the lights. "My house is your house so if you get hungry or need a drink don't bother to ask just dig in."
"Thanks."
"Sure thing. Oh and there are three bedrooms, the biggest one is mine of course and there are two guest bedrooms."
"Oh so your family doesn't live here?" Roxas asked.
"Um sometimes Kairi or Reno might stay the night here for a night or two but this entire crib is all mine. My mom has a place that's hers its a few streets down from here, but sometimes Kairi or Reno will stay there as well." Axel explained.
Minutes Later
After Roxas settled down into one of the guest bedrooms Axel allowed him to stay in for the time being, Roxas couldn't help but be a bit nosy.
Roxas shut the door behind him and looked down the hallway to make sure Axel wasn't around, he took a step forward to the door across from his room. He opened it quietly and peeked his head into Axel's master bedroom. Roxas was right, the room was big with a king size bed with silky black sheets, nice can-lighting, across the bed was a wide plasma screen tv with surround sound. And of course the walls were a crimson color, it didn't surprise Roxas he remembered Axel telling him red is his favorite color. The entire bedroom looked almost like the living room, instead of couches it had a bed.
"Roxas."
The second Roxas heard Axel call his name from the kitchen Roxas immediately shut the door and went down the hallway acting innocent like he was never in Axel's bedroom.
"You called me?" Roxas asked.
"Well its a little past nine and I completely skipped dinner and I was making some sandwiches, did you want me to make you one?"
"Yes please that sounds good."
"Do you like turkey, tomatoes, lettuce and mayo?"
Roxas nodded, "Yeah all of that is good."
"K, because all of that is going in between the bread." Axel chuckled.
Roxas liked Axel's sense of humor, but the thing he couldn't get off his mind was the way Axel touched and kissed him during the photo shoot. It was better than being with a girl, and the weird part was Roxas completely forgot about Namine. He had a crush on her for so long and was always wanting to get with her but now all he wanted was Axel to-
"Here you go." Axel placed a plate with chips and his homemade sandwich in front of the blond.
Axel grabbed his plate and took a seat beside Roxas.
The two ate in silence for the most part, every now and then Roxas would ask Axel a question about New York or his family, as Axel would ask Roxas more about his life.
"Did you not like the way I cooked?" Axel asked noticing Roxas half finished plate.
Roxas looked over at Axel's plate and saw his food was all gone.
"Oh no umm..." Roxas had his mind on his sexuality and how he wanted to tell Axel how he felt.
It was now or never thought Roxas.
"Umm no its not your cooking to be honest its delicious its just..." Roxas couldn't believe that he was about to spill his guts out to Axel.
"Are you feeling okay?" Axel asked.
"I'm fine, I ugh...Axel what do..."
"Do what?" Axel asked.
Axel was thinking how cute Roxas was at that moment stuttering over his own words. It almost looked as if the blond had a crush on him and was trying to tell him how he felt. Of course that's how Roxas felt but obviously Axel didn't think that's how Roxas feels for him since he's supposedly straight.
Roxas couldn't do it.
"I really liked your sandwich you made me, what were the ingredients again?" Roxas asked stopping the moment of truth.
Axel gave Roxas a weak smile hoping the blond was going to mention something to him about his deepest thoughts but he figured that would never happen only in his dreams. "Um yeah turky, tomatoes, lettuce, mayo and wheat bread. Its not the stuff you would get at any store I get my ingredients from foreign markets and stores, it tastes more exotic."
Roxas nodded. 'Stupid Roxas! Stupid Stupid Stupid Roxas! Why did I have to make myself look like an idiot, Axel probably thinks I'm a total idiot right now.' The blond thought.
Minutes later after cleaning up the kitchen the boys shut the lights off and went to their rooms.
"Oh Roxas?" Axel asked leaning in the doorway of the bathroom Roxas was using.
The blond spit the toothpaste out of his mouth and dried his lips, "Hm?"
"I was wondering, tomorrow I didn't have anything planned so how about sometime in the afternoon we both go out like to Central Park and get something to eat?" Axel offered.
'That sounds like he's asking me out on a date!' Roxas cheered in him mind, 'There's still some hope!'
"Yeah that sounds like fun."
"Okay tomorrow it is."
The afternoon the spent in Central Park was quite nice. They both enjoyed each others company and found that they had a lot in common such as: Japanese food especially sushi, they each liked rock music, they weren't sure how they got to this topic but they also like bubbled baths since it relieves stress, and well the list was endless.
Even though it was getting close to dinner time Roxas didn't have much of an apitite his mind was on the subject of telling Axel how he felt about him.
"My stomach just growled, lets go get something to eat Roxas," Axel suggested.
"Okay..." Roxas agreed even though he wasn't that hungry.
They had come across a small hole in the wall restaurant that served Japanese food.
"Mm have you ever been here before Roxas?"
"No but it looks delicious."
"Yamato makes the best sushi in the world, I promise you'll love it."
The waitress came up to them and led them to their seats. Roxas noticed all the women were wearing kimonos and the men were wearing the same but the style was a bit different.
"Will the be alright?" The waitress asked.
Axel nodded, "Perfect." He answered being seated in the best spot in the house.
Roxas grabbed his chair and looked around the room, it was quite busy people at every table, the tiki bar was filled up at every stool, some chefs cooked at the tables while others chose to have their meals prepared in the kitchen.
"So you were saying you like sushi huh?" Axel asked skimming through the menu.
"Yep its my fav." Roxas answered.
"Okay sushi it is!"
When the waitress came with their drinks she then asked for their food order which Axel gave to her.
"Roxas what rice would you like?" Axel asked.
"Fried," the blond answered.
"Yah I'll have the same as him," Axel told the waitress.
After the waitress wrote down their order Axel turned back to Roxas.
"So..." Axel begun, "You like it here?"
Roxas nodded, "I love it, everything about this place is nice."
"What's on your mind right now?" Axel asked.
"My mind?" Roxas questioned back.
"Yeah it looks like your thinking about something."
'Okay Roxas now's the time to tell him' his mind screamed.
"To tell you the truth I've had one thing on my mind since yesterday..."
"Yesterday huh?" Axel began to feel interested knowing that yesterday was the day they had their half naked photo shoot. Axel placed his elbows on the table and leaned closer to Roxas. "What about yesterday?" Axel asked with a devilish smile.
Roxas raised an eyebrow wondering if Axel figured it out. Roxas couldn't look Axel in the eyes anymore so he stared down at the silverware in front of him.
"Ikindalikedit," Roxas mumbled.
"Huh?"
"I kind of liked it." Roxas said once more feeling his cheeks heat up.
"Liked what?" Axel asked getting interested.
"The way you...I liked what we did together."
"Do you mean our photo shoot?" Axel asked hoping his answer was right.
Roxas finally looked up to meet Axel's emerald eyes that seemed to have passion in them giving Roxas some courage to tell the redhead his message.
Roxas nodded. 'Oh lord I think I made a terrible mistake telling Axel this!'
Axel felt like the luckiest guy on the planet the second he saw Roxas' head move up and down.
"I didn't think you liked guys," said Axel.
"I never did till I met you." Roxas' cheeks were about the same color of Axel's hair, Axel thought it was cute.
"Honestly Roxas I liked you since the day we met but I thought you were straight so I never did anything to ruin our friendship."
That made Roxas smile, "Yuffie was right."
"What did she say about me?" Axel asked with a grin.
Roxas chuckled, "After the photo shoot I told her I liked you and she was saying how great of a person you are, and she wasn't lying."
"Your a good kid to Roxas, I do like you a lot-"
"Here's your sushi..." Said the waitress stopping their deep conversation, she placed rice, shrimp and teriyaki sauce before them. Axel was excited about the meal the second the walked into the restaurant but now all he wanted was Roxas.
They didn't continue their conversation right away, they set the food onto their plate and began to eat.
"You like it?" Axel asked.
"I think its the best Japanese food I've ever had," Roxas answered with a mouth full of rice.
"Here..." Axel grabbed his napkin and wiped the rice that had stuck to Roxas' chin.
Roxas flushed.
"Did you boys save any room for desert?" The waitress asked cleaning up the empty bowls.
"I'm stuffed, how about you Roxy?" Axel asked.
"Same here," the blond replied grinning at Axel for calling him 'Roxy'.
"I'll take the tab then," Axel told the waitress.
As they left the restaurant both boys couldn't quit thinking about each other. "Tonight was fun Axel, thanks," Roxas said stopping the silence walking home.
Axel chuckled silently, "Your a lot of fun to hang out with, I was thinking..."
Roxas turned his head directly towards Axel's dying to know what he was about to say, "Yes?"
"Do you think we could be more than friends?" Axel asked hoping his question hadn't gone to far.
"Really?" Roxas stopped walking and starred up at Axel's eyes.
Axel nodded, Roxas couldn't help but notice how nervous Axel must have been. It was kind of cute Roxas thought.
"So..." Roxas started off as him and Axel began walk towards the apartment building, "Would this make us..Boyfriends?" Roxas asked.
"I would think so," Axel chuckled.
"I'm alright with that," Roxas said walking closer next to Axel.
"Alrighty then, its official," Axel said grabbing onto Roxas' hand.
Roxas didn't care that he was now in a homosexual relationship and that he was holding hands with another male out in public. He felt happy for a change and that's all that matters.
The bad part was Roxas doesn't want the world to know that's he gay, it wasn't something he was ready for. But being with the worlds greatest male model would attract paparazzi that might get the news around with you even knowing. As Axel and Roxas walked into the hotel a few of New York Cities paparazzi from People magazine stalked Axel and Roxas down the street with out them even knowing snapping photos of them holding hands and walking very close to one another.
Back in L.A. Sora and Kairi were snuggle up with each other on the couch watching E! News. "Ugh Sora I can't stand this channel most of the time their facts aren't straight." Kairi complained.
"What? E! News is the only celeb channel that gets their facts straight, plus I always like to hear what they say about me and Cloud." said Sora turning up the volume.
'Is it true or false is model Roxas Strife dating Axel Gainsborough? Stay tuned to find out' said the leading co-host from E!.
Sora and Kairi stared at the television with their jaws hanging wide open. "Did she just say what I think she said?" Sora asked Kair.
Kairi nodded, "Lets stayed tuned to see what happens then."
"I thought you said this show lies?" Sora chuckled teasing Kairi.
"It does but we'll call Axel and Roxas to see if the rumors are true."
A few minutes later.
"Okay lets see if they're dating," said Sora listening intently to the television.
'Back on our true or false, are the rumors true about Roxas and Axel dating? Back in New York City paparazzi caught the two holding hands and what it seemed like sources say they were flirting, true or false you ask? The rumors are true'
"Holy shit!" Sora ran to the phone to call Roxas.
"Damn it Roxas pick up the phone!" Sora demanded.
"Oh my I had no idea Roxas was gay?" said Kairi walking up to Sora.
"That's what I though- Roxas thank God you answered!" Sora stopped in mid-sentence the second Roxa picked up his cell phone.
"What is it I'm busy?"
"Um...Busy with what?" Sora asked.
"Okay I'm not busy but I'm trying to sleep, did you forget the time difference from New York to L.A.?"
"Oh I wasn't thinking about that."
"So why are you calling so late, I'm trying to sleep."
"Are you sleeping by yourself?"
Roxas almost dropped the phone, he happened to go to bed with Axel but they didn't go the whole 'nine yards' all they did was make-out in bed and cuddled with each other.
"Wh-what?! What makes you say that?" Roxas pretended to be all innocent.
"Because the paparazzi is saying your gay because there are photos of you and Axel holding hands and it was on E! News this afternoon and I even saw the photos on the internet."
"Well its all lies we were walking close to each other so are hands were probably in unison which made it look like we were together," Roxas lied.
"Hmph well try telling that to the media, good night then Roxas."
"Thanks for waking me up for nothing," Roxas said sarcastically setting his phone to the side.
"Mm Roxas who was that?" Axel asked pulling Roxas closer to him. "Its late for phone calls."
Roxas chuckled he loved the way Axel touched him, "Hehe my twin."
"What was so important?"
"Oh it was nothing, he forgot the time difference from east to west coast so we'll talk tomorrow," Roxas lied once more, he was to tired to explain but eventually he will have to explain to Axel how he will want their relationship to go.
