a little lame at the beginning but it gets better from here on out.

So here's chapter 9 everyone enjoy.

Chapter 9

Axel POV

After putting Roxas to bed I went back downstairs to find everyone still there. They were talking quietly and when I made myself known they all turned towards me. I sighed

and sat back down on the couch.

"Well…" Zexion started off, "We expected the beating part but…"

"The raping's were something we did not foresee." I said quietly.

Everyone was quiet again. Lost in thought, I tried to figure out what I could do for Roxas. I couldn't go to the police and Roxas would have to go back to his father in a

fortnight.

"There has to be some way to help him. He has five months before he can leave that place but anything can happen between then and now." I mused silently.

"Well, you have two weeks to figure it out." Sora said

The talk died down again and I was deep in thought. Then another interruption.

"Axel, how do you feel about Roxas." I startled at the question and looked up to the questioner. Demyx had a smile on his face that looked like he had just come up with the

most brilliant plan in the world. I thought about the question for a bit. I liked Roxas a lot. Ever since he started joining us to go places I saw many things about the blond and

they all intrigued me to know more. I knew I was physically attracted to him. I liked being near Roxas and doing things with him. I liked how his hair was so soft every time I

ran my hands through it and I liked that his pale skin was soft to the touch. I loved that he was small and fit nicely against me almost like we were made for each other. I

especially loved his eyes. How deep and bright they looked. How the blue that didn't compare to any jewel or even the ocean or the sky.

Of course it wasn't just his looks his personality was adorable. His laugh was like the softest music and his smile was radiant enough to out rival the sun. His pouts just made

him look all the cuter and his quirks only added to it. His gentleness was astounding, his love for romances and families just made him so precious. Ii simply loved everything

about him. I loved him to no end.

I stopped my thought process there. 'When did the like turn to love. When the hell did I become so corny and cheesy like in a chick flick romance.' thinking for a bit more I

smiled at the conclusion I got.

"I…I really think I might love the kid." I answered. I saw Demyx smile and everyone followed suit.

"So, then it's easy what you should do then." Demyx and that crazy smile.

I stared at him blankly, not sure what he was going on about.

"Well… why not just, you know after the five months, have him live with you and you can take care of him." He continued.

My eyes widened at the suggestion and my mind was having a hard time wrapping around the idea. It never came to me that he could live with me after he left.

"I never thought of that. Stupid me." I let out a nervous laugh.

"Well, I never thought Demyx could keep up that kind of conversation." Sora suddenly said to which Demyx quickly protested. "Anyway, we all decided that we were going to

sleep here."

Without even acknowledging the brunette I got up and bid everyone good night. Starting to head up the stairs I remembered that, in the rush to make sure Roxas was ok, I

forgot to pick up the mail. I didn't know why such an insignificant thought came to me but I decided to indulge it and go retrieve my daily bills.

Once at the mailbox I had found the bills and I also found a flyer. Looking the flyer over an idea came to mind. I smiled and walked back inside, thinking about my brilliant

plan.

THE NEXT DAY

Roxas had not waken up yet so during breakfast I told everyone about my plan.

"I found this flyer in my mailbox." I said holding out for everyone to see. "It says that there is a fair today and I think it would be good for Roxas to go to relax and have some

fun."

"I think that's a good idea. We'll go too." Demyx said. With nods from everyone we started to make plans. We had two hours to get ready and leave. While everyone was busy

with the plans I went upstairs to see Roxas.

Roxas POV

I woke up to the sun on my face. I thought I was back in the house and I was still living in my personal hell. When I opened my eyes, though, a whole new sight greeted me. I

was surrounded by opulence in a wide and spacious room. The décor was homely and relaxing with white walls covered in posters, paintings, and some other items; the floor

was covered in a plush red carpet and a dresser and mirror was off to one side; the bed I was laying on was big, soft, comfortable, and warm.

I nestled under the covers, confused, and trying to remember what happened that lead me to this nice room. Thinking, I squirmed around trying to find and answer. Then, I

found myself face down into one of the fluffy pillows. I smelled something faint and when I took a bigger sniff I recognized Axel's smell. In a rush, everything from the day

before flashed through my head conjuring up a headache. Groaning I sunk back into the pillow and stopped my thinking process. Apparently when I stopped thinking my body

decided that it was going to try to memorize Axel's scent. So, I laid there sniffing the pillow and relaxing into the happy feelings the smell was giving me.

I jolted up when I heard the door open. Looking toward the sound I saw Axel watching me. I relaxed a bit and stared back.

"G-good morning" I said quietly. I watched him smile at me and walk slowly toward the bed. Stopping right next to me, he tousled my hair.

"Mornin' Roxie. You hungry?"

I nodded at the question being indeed hungry since my last meal was breakfast the day before. Which consisted of a few bites of bread and a slice of an apple. I followed Axel

downstairs where a whole buffet of food as well as everyone else was waiting. I couldn't help but stare longingly at the food. Axel noticed and gave me a small push towards it

telling me to help myself to whatever I wanted.

I was really happy for it and I soon had two full plates in front of me. Everyone laughed at the display as I stated to chow down on the deliciousness. I slowed down my eating

when a conversation started.

"Roxas, do you think you would be ok going out today." Axel said. I looked at him while I chewed thoughtfully. After a minute I swallowed.

"Where would we go?" I asked.

"Well there's a fair today. With rides and food and games. I was thinking maybe you would like to come with me…to come with us." He said with a small blush.

I thought about it while sipping at some orange juice. A fair did sound like fun and it may be able to get my mind of my situation. Bonus is that I get to spend the day with

Axel.

Smiling I nodded my head and laughed a bit when Axel gave a small jump in the air with a "yay." We finished up breakfast and got ready for the day. It was then that I

noticed that I didn't have any clothes to wear. When I told Axel this, he thought for a moment before getting an idea. He asked Sora for any extra clothes he had. Thankfully

we were relatively the same size. After borrowing an outfit from him Axel told me that we would buy new clothes for me after the fair. I protested that he didn't have to but he

won me over after a few minutes of some very convincing arguments.

When it was time to go we piled into two cars and headed off. I had never been to a fair before and I wanted to try out all the rides. When I saw the fair I was surprised by

how big it was. It had rollercoasters and booths and, surprisingly, good looking food everywhere. We got our tickets and headed off.

"Ok everyone" Sora said as he grabbed onto Riku's arm. "We are going to separate into groups. Everyone with their boyfriends. Axel and Roxas you guys don't have

boyfriends but you can pair up."

Sora winked at us and ran off with Riku. Everyone else followed suit and left Axel and I behind with a blush on my face and our mouths open wide. I turned to Axel and asked

"did you know about this?"

He shook his head and looked at me and blushed as well. After a big awkward silence Axel cleared his throat and took my hand.

"So what did you want to do first."

I looked at him and smiled.

"I want to go on the roller coasters."

Smiling back at me, he led me to the nearest ride. For the rest of the morning, Axel and I rode all of the rides and played most of the games. Axel took part in a contest and

was able to get us free lunches. Soon it was almost time for lunch.

"Roxas, we have time for one more activity. What do you say?" I looked towards Axel as he said this. He was pointing to a house near the food courts. Looking at the sign

telling what the house was, I paled. It was a haunted house and I wasn't very good with things like that. Through all of my life the scariest thing I had ever seen was

"monsters" on Halloween.

"Axel, I don't know. I really don't like haunted houses."

"Aww, don't worry Rox it's not that scary. It's all fake."

"…I think we should just skip it."

"Come on Roxas I'll be here for you in case anything really is that scary. But trust me there isn't."

I gave a small whine before finally relenting. I really didn't want to see anything scary but Axel said it wasn't that scary and I trusted him. Axel gave a gleeful laugh and pulled

me to the dark building. I truly hoped that this wouldn't be very scary. Those hopes were quickly dashed as we step foot into the darkness.

I squeezed Axel's hand as we slowly made our way through the dark. When I felt a cold, slimy wetness move across my face, I screamed and clung to Axel's side.

"Whoa. Rox it's ok. It wasn't real. Calm down." Even with Axel comforting me I still screamed and clung to him with every passing horror. After a particularly loud scream from

a bloody gore jumping out from the ceiling I caught Axel trying to hide a laugh at my fright. I had to say that I was really hurt that Axel would laugh at me like that. When we

got out I was a pale and shivering mess and I was so angry at Axel that I immediately let him go and ignored him till we met up with the others at the food court. Axel was

thoroughly confused at my behavior and tried to talk to me the whole time.

Unfortunately we got to the table, with our food, last so I had to sit next to him. Axel seemed worried that I was ignoring him and the others were giving us strange looks. I

got through lunch with giving barely a word to Axel to let him think about what he did. Afterwards everyone separated again and I was stuck alone with him. Of course he

took that opportunity to find out the problem.

"Roxas, what's wrong? Did I do something wrong?" I planned on ignoring him but he forced me to pay attention by grabbing onto my arm. I looked at him and saw that he

had a confused and sad expression.

I sighed and said, "Axel, it really hurt when you laughed at me in the haunted house. I was generally scared and it was really mean of you to laugh."

I watched as realization came over his face and then submerged into guilt. My anger seemed to start to slowly dissipate as he started to explain.

"I'm sorry Rox. It was just so cute when you got scared and clung to me. I really liked it when you held onto me and I couldn't help but laugh at it. I wasn't trying to make fun

of you. I'm sorry." He said in a flurry.

By the time he took a breath all of my anger had gone and my face became my new personal heater. I turned away from Axel to hide the blush.

"Fine. I forgive you" I said. In response, I got a crushing hug from Axel to which I gave a small smile. He let go all too soon and I turned to face him.

"So what should we do now? We still have a few hours left." He said

I thought about it for a moment before a smile came onto my face. By the time it was time to go we had gone on every single ride. Twice.

After we went shopping, which took a couple hours because Sora and Cloud were fighting over which outfits looked sexier on me, and ate dinner at Kaji No Ie we headed back

to the house. Everyone said their goodbyes and left leaving Axel and I to ourselves. Axel suggested we watch a movie and that's where we are now. Sitting on the opposite

ends of the couch barely paying attention to the movie while sneaking glances at each other. Well maybe that's a bit one sided.

I kept trying to think of a conversation starter when Axel started first.

"Roxas…I don't think I apologized to you properly yet."

I looked at him questioningly. "You apologized and I forgave you. What more is there to an apology?"

"Well I don't think that was proper. I want to make it up to you."

"You don't have to make it up to me. It's fine." I turned my gaze back to the movie but my attention stayed on Axel.

"Please, I really want to make it up to you."

I laughed a bit. "Axel really you don't have to."

"Please"

"…alright what did you have in mind."

I turned back toward him only to get a close up of his face. I hadn't realized that he was scooting closer to me and the small proximity had my heart pounding and my face

sport a faint blush.

"Like this." He said his voice turning husky. A small shiver went up my spine as he suddenly leaned closer.

"Axel…what are yo…" I stopped midsentence when his lips touched mine. My eyes wide I sat frozen. After the initial shock wore off I felt how soft his lips felt against mine and

my eyes slowly shut. I kissed back and felt Axel smirk. When Axel pulled away I let out a small whine and attempted to kiss him again. He didn't allow it though and pulled

back toward his seat. I stared at him dumbly when he turned his attention back to the TV.

Annoyance spilled through my body and I lunged at Axel and pinned him to the couch. Axel stared at me with a stunned expression and made no attempt to push me off.

"That is very rude, Axel, teasing me like that." I said in a low, seductive voice. Hearing this, Axel smirked at me and gave a quiet hum.

"Oh, well what if I only teased you to make you jump me." He replied in an equally seductive voice.

I stared at him, my annoyance all gone to be replaced with a cherry tomato face. He chuckled and continued speaking making shivers run down my spine.

"Well, Roxas, what would you do next."

I stared into his over-confident face and slowly leaned down to his ear. "Maybe I might just kiss you."

I heard Axel 'hmph'. "Well, what's stopping you?"

"Nothing" I whispered. Then I proceeded to crash our lips together. It was oh so delicious and soft. I buried my hands into his hair and relished the feeling of a tongue sliding

against my bottom lip before I granted it entrance. We fought for dominance not long until I gave up and allowed Axel the win. He thrust his warm tongue into my mouth and

explored around.

I was startled when he suddenly pulled away from me. I tried to get back to his inviting lips but he stopped me by flipping me over so I was under him. I stared up at him as

he brought our mouths and tongues back together. I moaned when I felt my shirt being lifted and hands gently caressing my stomach and softly glide up my chest. My hands

were in his hair again and with every moan I tugged on his hair a bit wringing out moans from the gorgeous man above me.

When we parted for air we stared at each other before Axel smiled at me making my insides warm and fuzzy. My heart beat abnormally fast and my whole body felt hot.

Despite this I was also really sleepy. I had a big day yesterday and today and the feelings of warmth were dying down quickly. I could feel the sleep over powering me and my

eyes started to drift down.

Axel quietly laughed and picked me up. I snuggled into his shoulder and closed my eyes. Soon I was stripped and changed into a set of pajamas and laid down onto a bed. I

kept my eyes closed and waited for the sound of the door closing. Instead I felt the bed dip and I opened my eyes, surprised to see Axel in pajamas lying down next to me.

I didn't concern myself with it and when Axel stilled I contentedly scooted closer until I was comfortably wrapped in his arms. With Axel's natural body heat warming me I

quickly drifted off.

Before I completely fell asleep I whispered, "I love you Axel."

The last thing I heard was "I love you too Roxas."

Yay! Finally confessions and make out scenes. Hope you all are happy now! Review. Now that the love is going around to everybody, there is only one thing

to take care of. The b#%& of a dad that Roxie lives with. Time to send him to hell. heh heh :3

This chapter was sooo sappy but also really cute and romantic. Writing the make out scene got me tingly. hee hee. Well I'll see you next chapter! Bye
