Chapter 10 - The After Shock
Roxas POV
I ended up having to jog my way back over to Axel's place, needing to keep the warmth going in my legs since the warmth from the drink had long since faded… and I knew that Naminé wouldn't want to talk to me right now… oh, I knew that for sure.
I also knew for sure that it was over for us…
Axel POV
I wasn't expecting to see Roxas again today after what happened last night… he told me about his girlfriend… Naminé… and I explained to him about Demyx, the man I had gone behind his back with…
We actually talked more than I had expected… and Roxas even cried… again. Maybe it was my fault, but I blame the emotion-filled Roxas on Naminé… for the most part. Roxas told me that even though I was willing to change for him… he wouldn't walk out on Naminé like that… and that he actually did love her… not me… and that I, I "had my chance." So I, using any niceness left in me after the painful comment, offered my place for him to use for the night. He looked a bit suspicious at first until I promised not to try anything.
And let me tell ya, keeping that promise was hard.
… Pure torture, last night was…
And during that time of extreme focus-on-other-things-than-Roxas-sleeping-in-my-bed… I remembered the time I had hit on his cousin. He was pretty cute, a bit girlish for a boy, but he was too shy… and I mean really shy… and plus, that kid's boyfriend was there… or at least it seemed like they were together. The guy was just so pissed at me, but he was trying to act cool around the kid…
So I got away with a lot.
As the memory faded, I smiled to myself. "Good, I've stopped thinking about Roxas… now…" My smile fell. … Damn.
I stopped thinking about the night before for the time after Roxas left saying something about being late. And then, Roxas appeared, some time later, apparently failing at kicking the locked door open as I heard a string of curses loudly stream through the door.
Roxas POV
Since when did he lock the door!
My leg hurt like hell, and was partially frozen over by now.
Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit…
Axel opened the door, a confused yet smug look on that… face of his. "What can I say? I lock the door when I'm not thinking of you." I gave a small, sarcastic smile as a response, pushing my way into the room past him, but I didn't get far since… a hand had gripped my arm… hard. I chanced a glance up to him.
Big mistake number 2.
"Aw! I don't even get a 'hello' now?" Axel was pouting, and how it worked on me, I'll never know… plus, he really does suck at pouting… he needs a lesson on it from my cousin. I pulled my captive arm from his grasp, snickering, "Oh, don't be such a baby, Ax, it's not like you." He grinned at me as soon as the words left my mouth, "I know, I know… so… why are you back?"
I laughed for a short moment.
"For one- " I pointed towards the door, "my car is still parked outside, two- " I then switched to my cold jeans, "I either need a change of jeans or I'll be borrowing your laundry machine,three- " I looked Axel in the eyes, my finger poking him in the chest, "I haven't been able to get you out of my mind, and four, I lost Naminé because of you."
Axel blinked once… twice… and three more times before speaking.
Man… how slow was he today?
"Wait… what do you mean 'because of me?' I didn't do anything…" My eyes rolled, my fingers wrapping onto his shirt for a grip as I pulled him down a bit, and my blank stare turned into a slight smirk. "You have no idea what you did, Ax."
Axel POV & Riku POV
Then, he kissed me.
Riku POV
I don't know what had gotten into Sora… but he had… and he was aware of it. My mother had long ago left with this creepy looking guy wearing black… but I don't question her… and I never will. But surprisingly enough, the soup was half gone after she left.
Anyway, back to what happened, right?
Right. Sora kissed me… and I don't mean a kiss I would have expected… I mean, it took me completely by surprise! We were setting up things in my room so we could get some sleep, but he wouldn't stop complaining, he kept saying something about being 'freaked out from Kairi's place sill' which I still don't even know what exactly happened… so reluctantly, I agreed for him to sleep in my bed… with me.
And helplessly, I thought, how will I sleep now?
The table lamp was on the side Sora had chosen, the only light left on, and he refused to move to turn it off… which meant I had to do it…
Greaaaat…
I propped myself up, leaning over Sora, straining to reach the light when Sora's tan arms reached up, and clasped around my neck, pulling my head down towards his face… and he was smiling. "Mm, I changed my mind, you're taking too long…" he was whispering to me, out faces close as a arm unlatched from my neck, reaching for the lamp switch. I was going to go back to my spot, but I was stuck in my spot, watching Sora as his blue eyes never left mine… it was so entrancing that I didn't even realize that the lights had turned off…
And that his lips were pressed against mine.
If you didn't think Sora was capable of being the dominant once, it's ok, a first for me, too.
A bit of changing into Riku's POV while ending the current status of Axel's POV. I hope it didn't confuse too much, but I wanted to put the same thing in for both characters. A bit of a cliffy, no? Heh, I wanted to give you all something to look forward to! But I shall taunt you all more in the next chapter as... if you remember from earlier chapters... someone... RETURNS!
ERL! (Enjoy, Review, Later!)
