In Another Life
I really hope no one hates Namine in this. I'm starting to hint at things that went wrong. It'll all make sense in the end.
They keep the lights on because there's really no reason for them to be off, and besides, Axel's eyes look so beautiful when the light hits them just right, as he's leaning in to kiss Roxas again.
They've been together for a month now, and this has become routine: Axel gets off from work and heads straight over to Roxas' house to talk, which eventually turns into fooling around, until Roxas finally says that he needs to work on his homework or Axel says that he needs to get some sleep.
They're taking it slow, partially because they don't feel the need to rush things, and partially because Axel doesn't want to feel like he's forcing himself on the kid. The farthest they've gone has mostly been groping beneath clothes, which once turned into Axel giving Roxas a hand job, but they haven't really discussed going further. Roxas is feeling adventurous today, however.
Axel's got Roxas pinned against the wall beside the bed, leaning over his seated form to suck on his neck, kissing the bruised flesh tenderly every so often. Roxas moans when the redhead's hands roam under his shirt and slowly down to the waistband of his jeans. When Axel pulls away and sits beside him to bring the blond into his lap, Roxas leans over to open the drawer of his nightstand, grabbing something from it. When he faces Axel again, he places what is unmistakably a wrapped condom in his hand. Axel stares at it in shock for a moment.
"'Mint Tingle'? Wouldn't that burn—? Oooh," he says in one breath, a smirk forming on his lips as realization dawns. Roxas smiles almost shyly back at him.
"I've never tried it before, but that probably does have the potential to burn," he replies, blushing slightly as he watches Axel flip the package over between his fingers. Axel smiles reassuringly at him, taking on a gentle tone to assuage whatever fears or embarrassment the blond has.
"So, you want to, or should I…?" he asks, making to get off the bed. Roxas stills him with his hands on the redhead's thighs.
"Lean back," Roxas says, his voice a little husky as he takes the condom from Axel's hand. The older male smirks again when Roxas straddles his lap, kissing him heatedly and pushing his hands up under the other's thin undershirt.
Roxas gropes at Axel's torso as he begins to rock their hips together and bites back a groan when he feels the redhead's cock hardening against him. A thrill runs through him then; he's actually going to do this. Oh God.
With a final kiss, he slides down Axel's body to kneel on the floor between his knees. His hands are shaking as he tries to unbutton Axel's pants. The redhead smiles fondly and runs his fingers over the back of Roxas' hands. "You've never done this before, have you?" he asks.
"Ah, no," Roxas smiles nervously back at him, abandoning his task for the moment, "but I've had it done to me before, so I figure I can wing it." He laughs a little for effect.
"Oh yeah," Axel says absently, "Kairi." His face grows dark for a split second and then it's soft again. "Here," he says, his thumb stroking one of Roxas' hands, "you really don't have to if you don't want to. I could—"
"No, no, I want to," Roxas replies, and returns to undoing Axel's pants with more determination. When he finishes, he pushes the waistband down his thighs, and stares for a moment at the bulge in Axel's briefs. He swallows when he feels one of Axel's hands threading through his hair in a comforting gesture, takes a deep breath, and pulls the older male's underwear down too.
Axel lets out a soft moan when his erection is exposed to the air. Roxas freezes for a second, then scrambles to grab the condom that's fallen by the wayside. He opens the packet almost frantically, struggling a bit with it out of nerves, and then holds it triumphantly. And then he realizes he has to put it on. He wants to do this. He wants to.
Realizing that there is no sexy way to do this, and that even if there was he wouldn't be capable at the moment, he rolls the condom down to the base of the redhead's cock. Axel moans encouragingly and Roxas looks up to give him a half-smile for a moment before bowing his head and easing the tip into his mouth.
It tastes like minty latex, but he supposes that it's better than a mouth full of semen, so he ignores it and continues. He starts to gag at one point, but he swallows, relaxes, and it gets easier. Before long, he's deep-throating, and he's actually maybe kind of starting to enjoy it. He's enjoying Axel's reactions, and the feeling of control. The redhead is moaning wantonly now, and Roxas is infinitely happy that his parents work late.
By the time Roxas has started getting really into it, Axel can't take much more. His hand tightens in the blond's hair and he gasps out the other's name as he comes. Roxas coughs at the feeling of Axel's cock twitching in his throat and pulls back, covering his mouth with his hand.
"Oh, shit, sorry, I'm sorry, Rox," Axel pants, leaning down to pat him on the back. Roxas swallows and coughs again, then smiles slightly at the other.
"It's okay, it just… surprised me," he smirks a little. Axel returns it and kisses him gently.
"I'm gonna clean up," he whispers against the blond's ear, and Roxas nods, watching him as he walks to the bathroom down the hall. Once Axel is out of sight, Roxas sighs and puts the condom wrapper deep in his trash can. He really doesn't need to bother hiding it, but it's the principle of the thing, he thinks as he lies back on his bed. Axel returns shortly, sliding onto the sheets beside him.
"So," Axel starts conversationally, "what did that thing taste like?" Roxas snorts.
"A little bit like toothpaste, actually," he says, smiling. Axel wraps an arm around him. "Probably better than regular ones. Kairi never really liked them, but she insisted on using them anyway." Axel sighs.
"What ever happened to her, anyway?" he asks disinterestedly.
"I told you, she moved to Twilight Town after her aunt and uncle died," Roxas replies, sounding a little sad. "I really don't see why she had to go, but I suppose it worked out for the best. She's with Sora now, and I think he loves her more than I ever could have." He smiles and rolls onto his side to face Axel. "She was a poor substitute for you."
Axel smirks. "Is that what she was?"
"Mmhmm," Roxas hums lazily, burrowing into Axel's side. Axel smiles at him.
"Well, you have the real thing now," he says contentedly.
"Yeah, I do," Roxas answers, pulling him into a slow, deep kiss.
They lie like that for a while longer, until Roxas eventually drifts to sleep thinking of what lays ahead for them and Axel grips him tightly thinking of a girl Roxas used to hold like this. There will be no more of those.
