Where am I?
The young blond opened his eyes slowly, sapphire eyes came into view. Luckily the room was dimly lit so the light did not pain him. He shifted slightly, his body felt heavy but seemed to tingle faintly.
"Roxas?" came a soft familiar voice.
He turned his head slowly and looked upon his tall red-haired Professor.
"Professor?" mumbled Roxas sleepily.
Roxas sat up and at the same time Axel sat down beside him on the bed.
"Roxas…" he began with some difficulty. "I want to…apologize for what had happened tonight…"
For a moment, Roxas looked up at Axel with a puzzled look. But then realization struck him in a flash. Roxas bit his lower lip, hard. He turned his head and looked away from the redhead.
"The thing is Roxas…" Axel took in a deep breath and looked away from the boy. "Roxas…I think that I…love you…"
Roxas' head jerked up and he stared in disbelief at his Professor.
"Look…I know what I did was…wrong…and…." Axel just shook his head, disheveling his perfect red spikes. Silently, he stood and took a step toward the door to leave.
"No…" whispered Roxas. "NO!" Roxas cried as he swiftly grabbed onto Axel's sleeve.
Axel turned and looked down at the crying blond with a surprised look.
"No don't leave. It's just…no one has ever said that to me before…. after my parents died…" Roxas spluttered wildly, everything he held inside was now flowing out of him.
"Roxas…" Axel said softly.
"Professor…I…I love you too!"
Wordlessly, Axel sat back down on the bed beside Roxas, taking both the young boy's hands in his.
"Roxas…" whispered Axel as he pressed the back of Roxas' fingers to his lips gently.
Roxas gently pulled is hands from Axel's. He looked up at his teacher and swiftly wrapped his arms around Axel's neck.
"You're the only one…. that made me feel like a 'somebody,'" said Roxas with a faint laugh, even though tears dripped down his cheeks.
He loves me! Someone actually loves me!
Axel hugged Roxas tightly, pulling him closely against his chest. The red-haired professor planted several light kisses along Roxas' neck.
The two stayed like that for a long time. Finally Roxas pulled himself from Axel and glanced at the clock; 10:30 PM
"Oh no!" exclaimed Roxas. "I'm late for work!" He scrambled off the bed and onto his feet.
"Relax Roxas," sighed Axel. "You need to sleep. It's Friday so you'll have time on the weekends tomorrow."
"Yah but I need the money! I can't afford to miss a day of work!" exclaimed Roxas, running his hand through his hair nervously.
With a sneer, Axel suddenly stood. Axel reached up and gripped Roxas' wrists, yanking him forward.
"You talk to much," said Axel annoyed.
Then he locked his lips with those of the young student before he can utter a retort.
Roxas pressed himself against Axel's chest, wanting any sort of contact that keeps him in reality for he felt like this was all a dream. Roxas wrapped his arms around Axel's neck and deepened the kiss.
Axel snaked his arms around Roxas' waist, pulling the boy closer. Slowly, Axel ran his hands up Roxas' back, pushing up his shirt and leaving the skin exposed.
Roxas shivered and made a faint moan through parted lips.
Bzzz…bzzz…bzzz
Axel broke away, seeming breathless. Swiftly, he reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell. He flicked it open and held it against his ear.
"Yeah?" he said in a dull tone. "…Alright….I'll see you then….bye." He closed the phone and shoved it into his pocket again. "That was Zexion," he said, looking down at Roxas. "He wants to meet at the Café in about an hour. You haven't eaten yet. Come with me and I'll get you something."
Roxas knew it was a bad idea to tag along. Especially if Zexion was going to be there too. His head began to ache with so many questions. He wondered what might happen. If Zexion would be jealous. But he disregarded that and nodded slowly.
Axel smiled faintly and leaned forward, wrapping his arms around Roxas' shoulders and burying his face in the crook of his neck.
"I'll break up with him tonight," came Axel's muffled voice. Axel pulled back and looked Roxas in the eyes. "He may be good sex, but he complains like no tomorrow."
Roxas forced a giggle that seemed to catch in his throat. But it didn't sound like Axel meant it as a joke.
"Get changed and then we'll leave okay?" he asked the blond as he turned and walked toward the door. "Oh, and starting Monday, you will be having detention with me everyday after school." With that, Axel closed the door behind him, a devilish smirk on his face.
His jaw dropped, leaving his mouth wide open.
No freaking way!
Roxas shook his head with disbelief. How could this be happening to him? With a sigh, Roxas picked up his backpack and took out some clean clothes.
He left the room moments later, newly dressed, and walked over to Axel who was sitting on the couch, his face serious for he was in deep thought.
"Professor?" asked Roxas meekly as he stood in front of Axel.
Axel's head jerked up and he blinked.
"Oh Roxas!" exclaimed Axel in surprise as he stood up. "I didn't see you. Ready to go?"
"Yeah," replied Roxas in a soft tone, looking the teacher up and down curiously.
Axel smiled, at least he tried to anyway, before walking past Roxas to the door. He swiped his car keys from the small table beside the door and walked out.
What's gotten into him? Roxas wondered as he hastily went after Axel. I wonder if he was thinking of Zexion. I guess we'll just have to see how things turn out. But I guess that can wait, I'm starving.
