…and to those who alerted and faved! Yay!
"Looking for this…?" Axel smirked at Roxas, raising his hand that held the black cell phone in front of him.
"…"
The blonde was stunned. He was so stunned; he just froze right in front of Axel. Who wouldn't when you were expecting your sibling to be at the door, not a famous artist? Oh shit, no… Sweat was starting to slide down Roxas' head to his chin. He then gulped in disbelief.
Was this for real?
Axel looked back at him, blinking. He then leaned against door's threshold and crossed his arms on his chest. Amused was now the expression on his face as he waited for the blonde to respond anything.
"Wh-what are you doing here…?" Roxas finally choked out, backing a little away from the singer to a safe distance. The younger teen started to feel the heat rising up to his face, precisely his cheek while he stared at the older teen's piercing emerald eyes.
"I came to return this, what else?" Axel held the gadget up again for the blonde to see. Roxas' blue eyes couldn't get anymore wider. "Don't YOU want it back?" The red-head asked in a teasing manner, leaning more in comfortable position on the threshold. Obviously, Axel was starting to have fun.
As for Roxas, his stunned phase was now over (thank goodness!) and finally got back at his normal self. He shook his head then glared at Axel for his 'teasing' or whatever he was doing with him. "Yeah, I want it back." The blonde said it straight but still a bit fidgety. "Thanks." Roxas was about the grab his mobile phone when Axel pulled it away from his reach.
Roxas furrowed his eyebrows then looked at the red-head. "What?"
"Not yet." Axel told when he saw the confusion in Roxas' eyes. He then stuffed the device inside his black pants and showed a smirk at the younger teen. Without warning, he leaned in front of him, just about close to Roxas' ear and whispered slowly, "How about you invite me inside? I'm kind of thirsty…"
The way the singer said it was dangerous… or so that was Roxas' thought. "No way!" The blonde suddenly blurted out, his face turning even redder.
Axel smirked, feeling the younger one tensed before him. He leaned even closer, his lips almost touching the blonde's sensitive ear and avowed, "If you don't, I will not return your little precious phone."
Roxas gulped and immediately backed away, his face what looked like a tomato and breathing uneven. "F-fine!"
The red-head smiled victoriously.
Axel didn't know why though. He enjoyed being close to this "Roxas". That even said, he forgot the whole thing about the latter brawling at him when they first met.
Hell, the whole thing didn't matter to Axel now. What mattered now was being close to this blonde in anyway he could…
As for Roxas, he sighed and let the artist inside his home the second time. The reason why he let the "heartless jerk" he once claimed Axel was unknown. Maybe Roxas wanted him to be there with him? No way! He could never forgive the singer treating him like some rag doll before… couldn't he?
Oh yes, Roxas remembered he was doing this for his cell phone. Yep, that was right. FOR HIS CELL PHONE AND HIS CELL PHONE ALONE. Not because he wanted Axel inside or anything that was related his once admiration with him.
His. Cell phone.
Axel made his way inside the house. He was still familiar with the place and knew where to go. "It was hard getting here using only a motorbike. It's tiring, you know."
The blonde just grumbled as a response, following his visitor to the living room. When they reached the said room, Axel happily sat on the same couch before and relaxed. "Hmmmm… I remembered this…" He then looked at his left, spotting a very familiar box.
It was same first aid box before. Axel couldn't help but smirked as he remembered clearly.
"What do you want?" Roxas said under gritted teeth, a little annoyed when he witnessed Axel being too casual inside his very own home. However, the red-head didn't take this an offense and instead glanced at him. The red-head answered coolly:
"I want iced lemon-tea. Is that alright? Or if not, just water."
Roxas' looked at him, shocked. Did just Axel say that very politely? And nicely? That was definitely weird. What had gotten to him? "Fine…"
The blonde left him alone inside the living room and went in the kitchen. Spotting the window, he saw the surrounding a bit shadowy. He figured it was starting to get late but when he noted the hanging wall-clock, it was only 4 in the afternoon. "Don't tell me it's gonna rain…"
Roxas stopped in front of the fridge, opened the door and searched for a bottle of lemon-tea. Sadly, there was none. Instead, he grabbed the large bottle of water and poured in a glass. Minutes later, he returned where Axel was and gave his drink.
"Oh, nice and cold… I like it." The red-head commented almost happily, gladly accepting the glass from the blonde.
Roxas stood there near his side, observing the singer while he drank. His outside appearance hasn't change at all… but why has his personality did? The blonde got out from his thinking when he felt a slight touch on his sleeves.
"Here." Axel said, returning the empty glass. Roxas took it and instead of going back inside the kitchen, he placed it on one of the table around and left it there.
"I got you your drink… Now, can I have my phone back?" Roxas asked the red-head once more, looking very serious. The blonde stood next to him as he sat but the red-head showed no signs of returning the gadget just yet.
To Axel, returning Roxas' meant no more reason for him to see the younger teen. But the real question was… Why did it matter to him not seeing Roxas anymore?
The mere thought of it felt an instant sharp pain inside the red-head's chest.
He had to do something before he leaves. Anything.
Just then thunder roared loudly, causing the two to jolt up suddenly. Sounds of splats could be heard everywhere. A heavy downpour followed the thunder. Axel and Roxas looked at the window to confirm what they were thinking.
Great, it was drizzling outside.
"How are you gonna go out now?"
"I was thinking of staying for a while, yeah?"
"Ugh… I can't believe this…"
Silence. A very, long and awkward silence.
"Then why don't you call your manager? Tell him to pick you up like you did last time?" Roxas frowned at him, his arms crossed against his chest. Not that he wanted the company, he just felt uneasy with Axel being around.
But Axel laid his back against the couch and relaxed. "Hmmm… I don't want to disturb since I went here alone… No one knows actually." The singer said it straight, closing his eyes and felt a little lulled because of the rain. He was starting to drift off to sleep on Roxas when he felt his pocket vibrating. "Huh…?" He flipped it open, again, and read:
Rox! I'm stuck outside the rain! Riku's here with me and it might take a while! Just find something to eat, sorry!
"Uh… I think this is for you." Axel raised the phone to Roxas, who immediately grabbed-hold it the second the red-head showed it to him.
"No, duh!" The blonde answered sarcastically, glaring at the singer as he snatched the device. He looked at it, and then frowned. "WHAT?!"
"Would you like me to keep you company, Rox…?" Axel sneered lightly, seeing as though Roxas was doing the cutest pout he had ever seen before.
"When the rain stops, you'll be leaving!" The younger male snapped back, retreating inside the kitchen.
Axel just sighed. "This is going to be hard work…" He looked at the window once more and noticed the unusual blackness of the sky. It was almost like night. Well, a half of an hour already passed so the red-head assumed it was already around 5 in the afternoon.
And it continued on, both teens not talking to each other. It would either be Roxas from time-to-time would check up on him but would not talk or Axel just resting at the couch.
Neither spoke with each other, nor brought up a conversation.
The clock ticked-tocked until it was now 6:30 in the evening.
This is hard. God, I thought this would soon be over… but why is the rain stopping? I don't like when he's around. What more if his other members found out that he's here? Scandals! I know this kind of stuffs! I saw it on TV's! Medias are like eagles, waiting for scoops and all, for good publicity! Dammit, Axel has to go!
Roxas looked at the living room from the kitchen, since he couldn't go up to his room, and saw the red spikes at the singer. He was still there and usually quiet. Roxas wondered why all of a sudden… What was up with Axel?
Little did Roxas know, the red-head was also lost in his train of thoughts, pondering about the situation at hand.
I guess this was a bad idea. I shouldn't have come here. I should've just let Xigbar returned his phone and not me. C'mon, just look at us! Nothing! So much for trying to be friends with him… He doesn't show any promising behavior or anything. That's it! I'm leaving!
Axel, deciding to leave now, stood from the couch. He made his way around the living room to where the blonde was to say his thanks. A little sad though but now it didn't matter.
This was now useless and Axel was starting to think that.
"Axel…?" Roxas blinked at him, seeing the taller male at the door. "What are you doing?"
The red-head just stared at the ceiling, saying, "I'll be going now. Thanks for the water... and for letting me in." And with that, he turned around and was ready to leave.
Time suddenly stopped when the two males left their gazes with each other. Oddly enough, Roxas felt his heart beating fast again. What was going on? Why was Roxas feeling that way all of a sudden?
Axel felt the same sharp pain as well, but ignored it afterwards.
BAM!!
And the lights went off. Soon after, total darkness enveloped the house.
"GAH!!" Axel shrieked when he accidentally tripped over something, like a table, causing him to fall flat on the floor. He winced for a while, aiding his foot. When he opened his eyes, blackness welcomed him. "WHAT THE?!"
The sound of a glass breaking alarmed Roxas. He immediately ran to the living room but bumped against the wall. "OW!!!" Roxas groaned loudly, feeling his nose.
"Hey, are you okay??" Axel sounded, trying to search the blonde's whereabouts in the darkness.
"I'm, ugh, fine…" Roxas finally spoke to him for the first minus the angry tone. This time, the blonde felt the wall on him and made his way. "What about you? Are you okay?'
"Yeah, I think so… I also think I broke something. Sorry. Where's your flashlight?"
"Looking for it."
Roxas walked slowly in the darkness with his hands on the wall as guidance. This was unbelievable, he thought. Just when things were starting to look good, a black-out just had to happen.
He continued trying to search his way when he felt something on the bottom of his feet. Something furry, something moving, something weird…
It scared the hell out of Roxas. "GAAAAAAAAH!!!"
"Roxas…?" Axel sounded again but this time, he received no answer. Worried, he got up and followed the blonde's voice when again, he tripped. "DAMMIT!"
But this was no something. Axel heard it went "Ooof!"
"Is that you Roxas…?" Axel asked, his hand making its way to find the blonde's head. He touched what felt like the nose, then cheek and lastly the chin. "Yup, that' you."
"You're squishing me…" The younger male on the bottom coughed a bit angrily, trying to catch his breath. "Get off, you big lump…"
"Sorry…"
Just when things couldn't get anymore embarrassing, the lights came back. Axel looked down to see an angry blonde growling at him. His weight was all over the small teen, thus, Roxas couldn't move.
They were lying near at the door, between the living room and kitchen.
"Well?" The blonde asked him, waiting for him to get up. When he felt that Axel shifted on him, a relief sigh escapes his mouth. Thank goodness this is over… He closed his eyes for a moment when…
"…!"
Suddenly, instead of feeling released, there was pressure on Roxas' lips. The blonde gasped, immediately opening his blue orbs to see Axel, still on top of him and lips where on his.
Time instantly stopped again.
Axel finally leaned back, looking Roxas in the eyes with his mouth still open because of the kiss. Roxas blushed, facing the same person who took his first kiss…
…and now, his second kiss.
"I'm getting back what I did to you last time. Consider this as a 'sorry' sort-of-thing…" This time, there was seriousness in the eyes of Axel. Roxas eyes went wide.
He was surprised.
Once again, Axel leaned down and crushed his lips on the blonde's ones. That caught Roxas off-guarded, squeaking at the sudden contact.
An opportunity rose and Axel saw this, sliding his tongue inside, licking Roxas' lips first then his teeth. The red-head's hand looked for the younger teen's wrist, pinning them down to prevent him from protesting.
Roxas whimpered, feeling his mouth being invaded with a foreign thing. "S-stop…" He managed to whimper between lip-lock but the red-head didn't listen as he gently bit Roxas' lower lip, causing him to whimper more.
"S-stop…!" Roxas finally screamed and with all his might, pushed the singer off of him. The once lip-lock was now gone.
And with flushed face and bruised lips, Roxas screamed at the red-head in front of him, "Sorry…?! That was your 'sorry'?! You almost violated me! How could you, Axel!" Tears were now starting to fall on Roxas' cheek while his voice was starting to crack.
He didn't want this… He didn't need this kind of thing…
Roxas felt sullied and couldn't help but cry hard. He was sitting there, sobbing hard at Axel, who felt immediately guilty.
The red-head the reached out for the blonde's shaking body and held him. "I'm… I'm so sorry…" He sadly whispered, cradling him. This time, Roxas didn't push him away and just sob against his chest.
Axel didn't mean what he did. He… He really wanted to kiss Roxas. And he felt that the only way for him to do so was to do it as an apology as well. Sadly, it was a mistake.
He didn't mean to make Roxas cry. How Axel wished to wipe those tears away and whisper over and over again "I'm sorry…"
But it looked like there was no way he would be doing that now. Because right now, he just broke the person he like his heart… again. What was Axel going to do now…?
A/N: Argh! The ending's a real crap! ((cries)) I dunno what I was thinking ending it that way! I kinda wish I had done more. Sadly, that's only my mind could muster to do! ((stabs own head)) Well, anyway, the next chapter might be the final one… well, maybe? Hee…
Roxas: ((holds the script booklet)) we had to rehearse that SCENE like, 5 times!! ((fumes)) Axel kept on saying he couldn't get it right!
Axel: he he he… that's right… ((evil smirk))
Demyx: I think he's playing with ya, rox… ((points a snickering pyromaniac))
Roxas: darn you, axel!! ((stomps Axel's foot))
Axel: ow! Ow!
