Main Pairing: AxelxRoxas
"Fucker!" Axel hissed, his rage overcoming all common sense; he shook as he rose to his feet. Albel was quickly becoming his enemy. Just how could Albel do this to his boyfriend! He thought that he and Albel were friends!
"I'll fucking kill him!" he growled; he was about to storm out of the room when he heard a slight whimper form Roxas. His anger froze and he sunk back to the couch. Revenge could wait; right now, his Roxas needed him.
Axel reached out cautiously and touched Roxas' shoulder with his shaking hands, "I'm... not mad at you, Roxas." he assured the boy.
Roxas shook his head violently. "Wh-why not! I slept with him! Twice!" Roxas whimpered, pulling his knees up to his chest. "Th-the first time I tried to stop him, b-but I couldn't... I told him I wouldn't do it again after..." Roxas's mind had been playing the events of the past week in his head on repeat since they had happened.
How could Axel not be mad?
Roxas had cheated on him.
"But... he told me he would tell you I was cheating on you unless I slept with him again... s-so I did... I didn't even bother to fight back this time... it was useless, I could hardly even yell at him anymore..." The blonde whimpered softly.
Axel began to rub Roxas' shoulder, "Roxas... I get it, ok..? It's... not your fault... Albel forced you into this." his voice was shaking as he spoke; he wanted so much to find Albel and teach him not to mess with his Roxas. It took all he had to keep from snarling every word, but he knew Roxas just needed him to be there and be understanding.
Axel slid his arm around the blonde's shoulder and pulled him close, "I love you, Roxas; it's... Albel raped you... so... it's... I don't consider that cheating."
Roxas looked up at him slowly. Did Axel just say he loved him..?
The blonde pressed closer into Axel's side, wrapping his arms around him tightly. "Y-you... love me...?" He asked softly.
Roxas had thought he felt something more for Axel, but he wasn't sure yet if he loved him, they had only been together a little more then a week, and most of that Roxas had spent avoiding the redhead.
Axel nodded and held Roxas close to his body, "I know it's stupid." he buried his nose into Roxas' hair and breathed in the scent he'd so missed, "I know we've only been together for a little bit, Roxas... but you just... you just make me feel so amazing. I love you."
"I... I really, really like you Axel... I've just never had anyone tell me they love me before..." Roxas nuzzled him. "I'm just not sure if I love you yet..." He whispered. Moving closer to him
Axel nodded, "Ok... Ok Roxas..."Axel began to run his fingers through Roxas' hair, "I understand... and... I'll take care of Albel, ok..?" He felt so awful for his poor Roxas, he wished there was something more he could do for Roxas... but Axel just didn't know how to deal with this situation...
Roxas shook his head as he looked up into the redhead's bright green eyes. "No Axel!" The smaller male cried, clinging to his boyfriend. "Y-you can't..! What if Albel trys to hurt you...?" Roxas whimpered. He just couldn't stand the thought of his Axel getting hurt because of him.
"I just want you to stay with me... I've missed you so much you know? I have wanted nothing more the past few days then for you just to hold me tightly in your arms... that's all I've wanted..." He whispered as he crawled onto Axel's lap.
Axel sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around the slim blond; he lifted a hand and threaded his fingers in soft blond hair, "I've missed you too Roxas..." he whispered in the singer's ear. It was amazing how Roxas could just melt his anger away... don't get him wrong, he was still very pissed about Albel: but right now he just didn't want to think about anyone or anything else but Roxas.
A thought occurred to him, though; one that made his heart start pounding in his chest, almost like crazy. He didn't know what to think; should he say something or would it be too weird? Maybe if he kept quiet Roxas would bring it up on his own..?
The blonde sighed softly and closed his eyes. He was so happy right now, so light. As if telling Axel about all this had lifted a huge weight off his chest, the past few days he couldn't even think about going to sleep at all. But now that he was safe in Axel's arms, all he wanted to do was fall asleep in them, knowing he was safe.
A smile crossed his lips slowly as he began to speak "Hey Axel...?" he whispered softly, curling up into his arms. "You know... I... I do think I love you Axel... I really do..."
Axel grinned; screw his thoughts. That was just the most wonderful thing he could have ever heard! He turned and quickly placed a kiss on his boyfriend's cheek, "God, Roxas, you mean it..? You'd... make me so happy, if you did..." His heart was pounding about ten times faster with the confession he'd just heard; it was so loud, that he wasn't even sure if he'd heard Roxas right or not.
If he meant it that is… What was he thinking? Of course Roxas meant what he said!
Did Axel really think Roxas would tease him about something like this?
No.
Roxas would never tease about being in love. He had never even been in love before in his life, Axel ment everything in the world to him. "I mean it Axel. I love you." He smiled as he opened his bright blue eyes and leaned up to kiss Axel softly.
Axel moaned softly as warm, beautiful pleasure filled him; the kind that only Roxas' lips could provide. His eyes slid shut and he pulled Roxas as close as he possibly could...
If only their damn clothes weren't in the way...
Whoa! Way too soon to be thinking like that with what happened to Roxas; but it was a little too late for scolding his body. It had already reacted, though maybe Roxas wouldn't notice. Even if he did, Axel had no intention of doing anything until Roxas approved... with out a doubt in his mind. Now was not the time to try and provoke Roxas into bedding him, even if he hadn't had sex in a week...
A slight gasp escaped Roxas's lips when he felt Axel's erection against his hip. "A-Axel..." The boy whispered, pulling back from him slightly. Who knew Roxas could do this to Axel with only one small soft kiss..? He wasn't quite ready just yet to be having sex with Axel again. But at the same time a strong lust for the redhead grew in Roxas, he needed him. Yet he still didn't at the same time.
Axel sighed and let his hands fall from Roxas so the blond wouldn't feel trapped in any way, "Sorry about that, Roxy." A wide, nervous grin spread across his face, "Guess I'm too much of a perv for my own good. Are you tired..?" he asked, if only to change the subject, "You don't look like you've got much sleep."
The blonde nodded. "Yeah, I haven't been able to really, I was worried about us." He confessed as he stood up and moved off the couch. "I want you to stay over night though... I don't want to be alone anymore. I... I kinda wish that you didn't have to go home at all..." Roxas turned away with a laugh. "But hey, not like you'd want to move in here right? I mean what am I saying?" But Roxas did want Axel to move in with him.
When he thought about it, it just made him so happy he couldn't stop smiling, which was saying alot for Roxas seeing as he rarely did smile much for anyone. He wrapped his arms around himself, rubbing his arms slowly.
He felt so cold without Axel holding him, as if he needed the warmth of Axel's body to live, as if he'd die without Axel holding him close.
Axel smiled; he was glad that Roxas had brought it up; he probably would have come off like an idiot if he'd said anything. In his happiness Axel stood and wrapped his arms tightly around the blond again; scooping Roxas into his arms, and heading for Roxas' bedroom.
He could hear the faint snoring of Demyx down the hall so he tried to keep his movements and voice to a minimum, "I'd love to move in here with you, Rox; I thought you'd never ask." he cooed before placing a light kiss over Roxas' cheek.
"There are only two bedrooms you know that right Axel...?" He whispered, leaning up the nuzzle Axel as he was carried down the hall towards his room. The old hardwood floor creaked with every step Axel took. Strangely, Roxas had never noticed it did that before.
Axel's smile remained plastered on his face as he shouldered open the door of the blonde's room, "I think that's perfect, if I had a room here I probably wouldn't use it anyhow... you know..?" Axel said with a suggestive wink; then he chuckled softly and nuzzled him.
Axel laid Roxas on the bed and he quickly moved to pull off his socks and shirt, "Just make sure it's ok with your rent agreement; the last thing we need is more trouble."
Roxas laughed softly as well "Your right." He smiled as he snuggled into the bed. "I'd make you sleep on the couch." Roxas smirked. "I mean, why would I want you sleeping with me? Only reason you are tonight is cause I'm cold and your always so warm... your like... my space heater Axel." Roxas laughed moving closer as Axel got into bed.
Axel pouted and poked Roxas in the arm, "Take that back, Roxy!" he leaned in and placed a kiss on Roxas' lips while a slow smirk crossed his face, "Besides, if you start treating me like an item I just might have to make sure you use me regularly... or else I might break down..." he whispered suggestively.
The blonde laughed softly once more, elbowing Axel in his ribs. "Well if you break down I just might have to go out and find myself a new space heater..." He whispered, placing a kiss on the redhead's lips. "I'm sure for someone as cute and innocent as me it wouldn't be to hard to find one..."
Axel grinned against Roxas' lips, "But, would you really want a new one when I'm so much more reliable..?" Axel said as he snuggled up to Roxas' body; he'd missed this so much, just laying and cuddling with Roxas. It made him so happy just to be with close.
"Reliable..?" Roxas smirked and kissed Axel again and wrapped his arms tightly around Axel. "Didn't you just threaten to break down on me Axe?" the blonde haired boy laughed. "Not to reliable if you ask me..." He started stroking Axel's hair softly as he closed his eyes.
Roxas was very tired, but a part of him was scared that if he fell asleep he would wake up with Axel no where to be found. Having him back so easily was just too good to be true right? It had to be a dream, Roxas was sure of it.
Axel smirked, "Well, you know, any space heater you get will break down if you don't give it a... jump start, Roxy." Axel let his eyes fall closed along with Roxas', "You wouldn't get rid of me, would you..?" he asked softly.
Roxas shook his head. "Never Axel, not ever, you remember what I said right? I really mean that" He nuzzled closer to Axel and kissed his neck softly. "You know... if you don't think it's too soon for us... Maybe... we could get our own apartment..?" It was a stupid question.
Like Axel would agree to something like that so soon into this. They really hadn't been a couple for long, and not to mention they had barely seen each other in the past week. But hey, a guy could dream right? The very thought of moving into their own apartment together make Roxas' heart beat a bit faster and gave him butterflies in his stomach.
Maybe Roxas was trying to rush things a bit? Then again he didn't really know Axel was his first serious relationship.
Axel smiled and kissed him, "It's a wonderful idea, Roxas; I'd love to get an apartment with you." Axel nuzzled him and placed a kiss along Roxas' neck, "What about Demyx, though..?" He didn't really care one way or another for Demyx, his heart was simply soaring with the thought of living with Roxas; but he had to be absolutely sure that everything was ok with Roxas.
The blonde laughed. "Demyx would be happy to move back to his mom's house, He never wanted to leave for collage anyways." Roxas couldn't believe that Axel actually did want to move in with him. How lucky was Roxas to have someone like Axel? He really did wish that Axel had only talked to him sooner. "I just made him come live with me cause I didn't want to live alone."
Axel grinned and sought out Roxas' lips again, still with his eyes closed; their lips connected in a slow kiss before Axel spoke again, "So then, everyone will be happy, huh..? I'll start looking right away."
A soft moan escaped Roxas' lips as he kissed him back then nodded slowly. "You want to stay here until you find something..?" He asked softly, kissing Axel yet again. "Do you really want to still be living with Albel until we find a place..? ...and you're really sure about this..? It's not too soon?"
Axel chuckled, "Hold the questions, Roxy, I can only answer one at a time." though he was just teasing, Axel knew exactly how to answer, "Rox, I'm sure I want to live with you, I don't ever want to stay with Albel ever again. This couldn't have happened soon enough."
"Really? You really want to live with me? Just us, together?" He questioned again smiling widely, though Axel couldn't tell with their eyes closed, though. You could probably tell Roxas was smiling just from the sound of his voice, which already seemed to be getting better with Axel there. "Are you still going to be friends with Albel?"
Axel slid his eyes open so he could see Roxas' beautiful smiling face; a grin spread across his face to match the one on his partner's. The were both so happy and excited about this new arrangement; Axel didn't think he could be happier... the only thing that dampened the mood was a sudden thought that struck him, "All I have to do is move out my things, and I'll never see him again." but when he thought about how it would go he was scared about Albel's reaction; would he get violent and try to force him to stay..?
"How is Albel going to take this though..?" He asked opening his eyes as well. "Albel doesn't seem like the type to just let someone walk out of his life..." He whispered, pressing closer to his lover. Roxas was slightly scared for Axel; Albel was a scary guy, what if he didn't want Axel to move out? Then what would they do?
Axel hid his fear with his usual confidence, "I'm a big boy, Roxy; I'm not about to let Albel push me around." Axel leaned close to nuzzle Roxas, so he wouldn't see any fear in his eyes, "If it's really that big of a worry for you, I'll sneak out in the night." he suggested, hoping that Roxas would insist.
"Why don't you skip class and move out your stuff while he's there...?" Roxas suggested. "At least that way he's not there at all so there is no chance of him finding out until you're gone." Roxas nuzzled him back. "I really don't want anything to happen to you Axel..." He whispered. If Albel were capable of raping his best friends' boyfriend, what would he do to Axel for choosing Roxas over him?
Axel bit his lip, "But... Roxas... who's going to be with you after school..?" he whispered fearfully; he'd be horrified and angry if Albel were to get to Roxas again, "What if Albel goes after you..?" he asked softly.
"I'll skip too and help you move you stuff out, Albel won't notice if I'm not there one more day." Roxas nuzzled him. "I'd rather be with you Axel. "Besides, he calls my cell phone and tells me where to meet him. He thinks it's odd if he takes me somewhere right after school."
Axel nodded and held Roxas more tightly to his body, "Thank you, Roxas; I'm so excited to move in with you..." Axel sighed; it was like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders; though he was upset and frustrated he wouldn't get to deal with Albel physically, but he was happy to get away from him.
Roxas let his eyes slide shut again, smiling more then he was before. "Axel... I love you..." He whispered. Now convinced it was indeed not a dream, all the boy wanted to do was fall asleep in his lovers arms. "I really, really do you know..." Roxas relaxed as he slowly started to fall asleep, with no doubt in his mind he would sleep right through the next day.
