Part 8
Demyx's house was really normal, apart from its room that was filled with heavy metal band's posters and strange accessories, like a dragon-shaped desk lamp.
"You know, my parents won an holiday to France!" he explained "And I have two weeks of freedom! Right, Zex?" he kissed him on the cheek
Roxas shivered, remembering that the two of them were a couple. That meant he would have had no choice but to sleep somewhere with Axel. He didn't see any guest's room, but he was still hoping that Demyx could find them to different beds at least.
"What about pizza for dinner?" Zexion suggested, while exploring the fridge
He sure had spent a lot of time there! 'It's like he's in his own house' Roxas thought, observing him
"Sounds good!" Demyx replied, as enthusiastic as usual "We can buy it in that new restaurant...the one we went last week, how was it called?"
Roxas, instead of listening to them, was looking at Axel. He was sitting on a chair and looked relaxed. He probably was used to be there too.
The only one feeling out of place was him.
"Roxas, what kind of pizza do you like?" Zexion asked
"Um...any kind is fine..." he replied, shyly
"Ok, we're off!" Demyx said, taking his boyfriend's hand "Make yourselves at home, we'll be back soon!"
They practically disappeared, leaving Roxas dumbfounded again.
He was alone with Axel! And he bet they did it on purpose!
"Do you come here often?" he asked
Axel smiled at him.
"Yes, Demyx and I are old friends."
Silence again. Roxas really wanted to know what Axel was about to tell him before the other two boys arrived. But he was too scared to ask. 'What if he says: I have a boyfriend now, I confessed to the boy I liked?' he thought, giving Axel a worried look
"Um, you know, before Demyx and Zexion arrived..." Axel started, slightly embarrassed
Roxas bit his lip.
"Well, I started to think that maybe the person I like...likes me back." he continued
That was the part the blonde boy didn't want to hear. However, he forced himself to smile and to act like a good friend.
"Is that so? He confessed?"
Axel shook his head and Roxas nearly sighed in relief.
"You're too shy to confess, after all." Axel said, with a smirk
"Well, you're right..."
Then, Roxas realized the meaning of those words.
"Me?!" he screamed, in shock
"I thought it was pretty obvious."
Roxas stared at him for a moment. He didn't found it obvious at all.
"But you said...unrequited love!"
The red head smiled sweetly at him.
"Because I have been in love with you since the day we met. But I bet you don't remember...before entering high school, my very first boyfriend dumped me and I was crying like a fool...you didn't know me back then, but you handed me a tissue and asked me if there was anything you could do to help me..."
Roxas was surprised, he had forgotten about that day. And he couldn't believe that fragile-looking boy, normally dressed and with short hair, could have been Axel.
"That meant a lot for me."
"It was really you?" the blonde boy asked "You've changed a lot!"
"And you haven't. You're still a shorty!" Axel mocked him
"Well, I'm sorry for that!" he answered, pretending to pout
The red head stared at him for a moment.
"Um, Roxas, I haven't..."
For the second time in a day, he was interrupted by Demyx and Zexion. They were as noisy as usual, and they were bringing four big pizzas.
"Dinner time!" Demyx exclaimed, with a big smile
After dinner, the played video games.
Roxas was relieved to see that he had nothing to fear. Demyx and Zexion weren't scary at all.
He looked at Axel. He was so cool, while defeating Demyx.
It seemed too wonderful to be true that his unrequited love tuned out to be Roxas himself!
He still couldn't believe it. He blushed. 'So I can think of him as my boyfriend now? Or do I have to ask his permission first?'
"You lost again!" Axel laughed
"I'm so bored!" Demyx said, pouting "Let's play some other game!"
Zexion smirked and whispered something in his hear.
"That's great!" he exclaimed "Let's play spin the bottle!"
Roxas froze. He couldn't be thinking about the one in which people kissed...right?
He turned his head to see Axel's reaction. He seemed quite perplexed.
"But you two are a couple." he said, at last
"What about a kiss on the cheek? No big deal, right?" Zexion suggested, still smirking
Roxas was terrified. He tried to recall how he ended up in that situation. 'It's Marluxia's fault!' he said to himself
Ten minutes later, Roxas already received a kiss from Demyx and luckily hadn't kissed anyone. Now he was staring nervously at the spinning bottle.
It stopped pointing at him.
He shivered. Demyx made the bottle spin again.
It pointed at Axel.
'Demyx, you sadist!' Roxas thought, widening his eyes
He looked at Axel. His expression wasn't easy to read.
Demyx and Zexion were cheering for him to kiss Axel. He blushed and felt that he just couldn't do it.
It wasn't right for his first kiss with Axel (even if it was only a kiss on the cheek) to be like that. He hadn't even told Axel that he loved him!
The red haired boy suddenly stood up.
"Let's stop this!" he said, walking away
He seemed rather angry.
Demyx and Zexion were quite shocked. They turned around to look at Roxas.
Roxas stood up too and followed Axel, without saying a world.
He was staring out of the kitchen's window, even though it was already dark outside.
"Um, Axel..."
"I'm sorry."
The blonde boy wasn't sure of the reason why he was apologizing.
"Why?"
Axel didn't turn around to talk to him.
"Because I didn't make them stop before...and for misunderstanding you before...I thought you liked me, but I'm probably too conceited..."
Roxas was shocked. Because of his indecisive behaviour, Axel didn't understand his true feelings!
"It's not like that!" he screamed, terrified "It's my fault for not saying it before...the one I love is you!"
Axel turned his head. His expression was amazed.
"Really?"
"Yes!" Roxas blushed "And the reason I didn't want to kiss you it's because..."
Axel came closer to him. He was smiling brightly.
"Because...?" he encouraged him
Roxas bit his lip. He was beginning to think that his reason sounded like a little girl's. That red head had such an effect on him!
"I wanted our first kiss to be special!" he blurted finally
He never thought a cool boy like Axel could blush. So, when he did, Roxas had the feeling he saw something unique.
"You're...adorable!" then he whispered in his hear "How is the first kiss of your dreams?"
Roxas blushed and answered:
"Um, it's not like I have ever thought about it..."
"Hey, you two!" they heard Demyx scream from the living room "We're going to bed, you can sleep on the sofa!"
Axel smiled at Roxas.
"Don't worry, I'll figure it out!"
Roxas sat shyly on the sofa. He thought it was quite awkward to sleep with Axel, but he found the situation less embarrassing now that he had confessed properly.
Axel sat beside him, still smiling. He opened his arms.
"Come here, I want to hug you all the night!"
Roxas blushed while obeying.
"I'm so happy to be with you. It feels like a dream." Axel whispered
"Me too."
The morning after, Axel walked Roxas home. While holding hands.
Marluxia was delighted to see them.
"My little Roxas, you're back!" he winked "And I can see you've got good news to tell me!"
Roxas blushed and glared at him.
"I swear I'll take good care of him." Axel said, seriously
"So romantic!" Marluxia screamed
-One week later-
"I can't believe you're really taking me there!" Roxas exclaimed, enthusiastically
Axel smiled and hold his hand tighter.
"You said they are your favourite band, didn't you?"
Roxas' favourite band, Organization XIII, was playing in a park. Axel guided him through all the people.
"Um, Axel, where are you going? The queue is this way!"
"I know, but we have special tickets!" he smirked
Roxas widened his eyes, as they were reaching a staff member with amazing blue hair.
"Special?"
Axel stopped and the blue haired man smiled at him.
"Hi Axel." he said
"Hi Saix. He's Roxas."
The man smiled at him too. He seemed to know Axel quite well.
"You can pass. If you want to meet the band after the concert you just need to ask."
Roxas was amazed. He never dreamed of meeting Organization XIII's members.
"Axel, do you know them?"
"Of course I do! They're Zexion's friends."
Roxas was able to enjoy the concert from one of the first rows and also to meet Xemnas, the vocalist, Xaldin, the drummer, Zigbar the guitarist and Laexeus, the bassist.
They were nice to him and he was even able to get their autographs.
"It was so cool!" he was still repeating, while Axel was walking him home
"Was I able to create a perfect date?"
Roxas looked at him with adoring puppy's eyes.
"Yes!"
"Really?" he smirked, taking his hand
"It was the best date ever!" Roxas confirmed
Axel stopped. Before giving him the time to understand the situation, the red head pressed his lips onto Roxas'. He kissed him a few times, before sliding his tongue into the blonde boy's mouth, dragging him into a more passionate kiss.
When he let go of Roxas, the boy was as red as a tomato.
"Wasn't it a bit too early for this?" he muttered, in shock
Axel wrapped his arms around the other boy's shoulders.
"You're so cute, my little Roxy!"
"Don't call me Roxy!" he was still blushing
He caressed Roxas' cheek.
"Are you mad?"
The blonde boy lowered his eyes.
"No...I think it was...um, yes, special!"
Axel smiled.
"Are you happy?"
"I'm always happy when I'm with you."
He gathered his courage and kissed him on the lips. Axel blushed for the second time.
"We should go to concerts more often!" he said
Roxas held his hand tighter and started to walk again.
I decided to write the sequel, I hope you'll read it too! =D
