Summary: Roxas was born a boy, but it was a mistake. He knows he's really a girl, so he decides to be one and pretends to be his dead twin sister. Facing ridicule and threats when he's discovered, he transfers.
-Axel can't help but fall for the new girl at school. What will he do though when he finds out that his dream girl is really a transsexual boy? Akuroku later
A/N: Hello everyone. Sorry it's been a while. I feel horrid for not updating sooner… I'll try harder not to fall behind again with updating this x-x;
Also: I was going to keep Naminé as Naminee for consistency but changed my mind. I might change them all to Naminé later. I might not.
Born in the Wrong Body: Chapter 11

"Are you excited about the news?" Axel asked, smiling at Roxas. They'd decided to go out and explore Destiny Islands and were currently on a walk.
Roxas smiled. "Extremely." Her smile widened when Axel took her hand.
"I'm happy to see you so happy." Roxas paused, squeezing his hand lightly. They'd been at the beach for the better part of the day. "What is it?"
"Thank you for being so supportive."
"Of course, Roxas," the red-head said, drawing her into his arms and resting his chin atop her head.
Though Axel supported her, he and Roxas had told everyone, including his parents, that they'd be away for about a week to see a specialist. They'd claimed it had to do with 'Naminé's' medical condition, saying that she'd needed surgery. Axel was going along for 'emotional support'- which was halfway true. Only the reason was a lie- they were certain that no one else, besides Demyx, would approve of the real reason.
Roxas wrapped her arms around the red-head, hugging him.
"Can we go back to the hotel?" she asked, "I'm kind of tired…"
"Of course, Roxas," the red-head replied, taking her hand. Roxas smiled.
"Thanks."
--
Roxas lay atop Axel, smiling as his fingers gently ran across her back.
"Do you think everything will go okay?" she whispered. Though she was excited, she was also quite nervous about her upcoming operation.
"I'm sure it'll be alright," he whispered back. "Vexen is a specialist after all." Roxas nodded slowly.
"I hope so."
"Don't worry, it'll be alright." Roxas nodded again, hugging the red-head, trying to pretend that she was okay.
--
Time passed quickly and as Roxas operation fast approached, she grew more and more anxious. The day it arrived, she, Axel and her mother arrived at the clinic early in the morning. Roxas clenched Axel's hand as they went inside and he paused, realizing something wasn't right.
"Tifa," he said, making the raven-hair pause, "I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom. Roxas, will you come with me?" Roxas nodded slowly, only halfway paying attention.
"Of course." Tifa nodded.
"Don't take too long okay?" The red-head nodded, smiling pleasantly. He led Roxas into the restroom, locking the door behind them. She looked at him questioningly when he gripped her shoulders.
"Roxas, what's wrong?" he asked. Roxas' eyes widened slightly.
"I…" she said, glancing away, "I'm scared."
"Why?" he asked softly. Roxas flushed slightly.
"I… This is risky. What if something goes wrong? Maybe I shouldn't do this… What if-" she started, stopping when the red-head's grasp tightened, looking at him questioningly.
"You want this badly don't you?"
"Of course I do but-"
"Then you shouldn't compromise your happiness," the red-head whispered. "It'll be okay. You just have to trust Vexen. He obviously knows what he's doing." Roxas nodded slowly.
"I'm still scared," she whispered.
"Then I'll hold your hand until you're put to sleep," he whispered back, gently touching the either side of her face with his hands, "And you can count on me being at your side when you wake up. I'm here for you." Roxas' eyes watered and she hugged the red-head tightly.
"I love how wonderful you are," she whispered. The red-head smiled, resting his chin on top of her head.
"I'm glad I could make you feel better," he replied. Roxas nodded, her sapphire locking with emerald, smiling up at him.
"You always do. Thank you."
--
The two made their way back and, when they had, Axel spoke with Vexen, telling him his and Roxas' request. After putting on the appropriate clothing, he was allowed to fulfill his promise. Roxas, who had changed into a hospital gown, was wheeled into the operating room, Axel holding her hand all the while. She smiled up at him nervously as the doctor prepared the anesthetic, placing a mask to her face after the nurse attached an IV to her arm.
She squeezed Axel's hand gently and he leant forward when she gestured for him to. "I love you," she whispered, vision going hazy. The red-head's eyes widened slightly then he smiled at her fondly.
"I love you too," he whispered in her ear, just before she fell out of consciousness.
--
The red-head paced anxiously as Roxas was in surgery. Though he'd tried to be strong for Roxas, he was quite worried and had been anxious as well. It'd been nearly an hour so far.
"Axel, honey," Tifa said, making him pause. Axel glanced at her. "Sit down, you're making me more nervous." The red-head nodded- he'd nearly forgotten that Tifa was there with him. He sat next to her, apologizing. "It's okay," she replied.
"I guess you're probably more worried than I am." Tifa laughed lightly.
"I'm not the one pacing," she said, smiling at the red-head. "I'm sure everything will go smoothly," she said, gripping his shoulder, "We just need to be patient." Axel nodded and they fell into relative silence.
It was another hour before Vexen had finished. In that time, Roxas' mother had taken up the pacing, Axel joining in again shortly after. As soon as the doctor had finished operating and graced them with his presence he was bombarded with questions.
"Did everything go alright?!" Tifa asked.
"What took so long?" Axel asked.
"Is she okay?"
Vexen halfway smiled, stopping the flow of questions. "It went perfectly," he replied. "Roxas is being situated in her room as we sleep, but she'll be asleep for a while."
"Really?" the red-head asked, blinking dumbly. He'd been certain something would go wrong.
"Really. Follow me," the blond replied. Axel and Tifa glanced at one another before following the doctor.
Roxas was indeed situated in a guestroom, sleeping soundly. Axel went to her, sitting beside her and gripping her hand. "She'll need a week or two to recover but then she should be as good as new," they were informed. "And Tifa, you have a beautiful daughter."
"Thank you," the raven hair replied, going to Roxas as the doctor exited, letting them be.

Roxas woke up late the next day, blinking a few times. For the first time in her life she felt… right.
"Welcome back," she heard, before glancing to the side and smiling widely at the red-head sitting next to her.
"Thanks," she whispered, pushing herself up and then glancing around. "Where's my mom?" she asked.
"She needed to get out so she went on a walk," the red-head replied. Roxas nodded, smiling.
"Then we're alone for the moment?" she asked. Axel nodded. Her smile widened and she reached out, gripping the red-head's shoulder. He blinked in surprise when she pulled him closer before gently brushing her lips against his. Their lips locked together innocently for a long moment and then she pulled back. "I love you," she whispered. Axel smiled softly.
"Then I'm lucky," he whispered back before returning her kiss. The red-head' smiled, pressing their foreheads together when he broke away. "How are you feeling?"
"Wonderful." His smile widened, just before the door opened. Roxas smiled again when she saw her mother.
"Baby you're okay!" she said, running to the bed and hugging Roxas tightly. The blonde laughed lightly.
"Yeah," she whispered, returning the embrace. Roxas smiled softly, gripping both Axel and her mother's hands. "Thank you for everything. I'm very grateful and very lucky to have you both in my life," she whispered to them.

By the end of a week and a half, Roxas was back to normal, more or less. Axel and Tifa stayed by her side the entire time, going to get food or eating in shifts so she'd never be alone. Vexen finally deemed her ready to go home with the condition that she have one final checkup, just to make sure she was okay. Everyone had readily agreed, eager to head home.
Roxas waved as the other two left her. She'd been sitting on the edge of her bed and smiled nervously at the doctor as he approached her.
"Go ahead and lie down." Roxas nodded, lying down and holding her breath. She blushed as the hospital gown she was wearing was raised and her lower half was exposed. Her blush deepened when he spread her legs apart.
"W-what are you doing?" She asked.
"Just making sure everything looks okay," he said. Roxas nodded slowly. She gasped when a finger slipped inside the newly made orifice, shaking. "Let me know if you can't feel what I'm doing or if anything hurts." The blond nodded, closing her eyes. She gasped again as Vexen's finger ran along a spot that made her spine tingle just before he finished his examination a few minutes later and pulled down the gown. "Looks like you're just fine," he said, smiling pleasantly.
Roxas blushed. "Uhm… Is there anything that I…uh… can't do?" Vexen blinked then shook his head.
"Not that I can think of. I rerouted some nerves so you'll even be able to feel pleasure when you're ready to be sexually active. Also, you shouldn't have any more problems with your body producing testosterone in excess. I still recommend that you take estrogen, however." Roxas nodded, blush deepening. She glanced up when a hand gripped her shoulder. "You're just like a normal girl now," he said smiling, "and you should be able to do everything a normal girl does- except have children or periods." Roxas nodded again. "Just let me know if you have any problems, though you should be just fine." Cerulean locked with jade.
"Thank you, Vexen," she whispered, hugging the man.
"Not a problem, Roxas. I enjoyed having you as a patient." The blond smiled as he broke the embrace. "Good luck in the future." Roxas' smile widened and she thanked the doctor again as he departed.
--
After Vexen left, Roxas got dressed, thankful to be back in real clothes. The blonde halfway smiled as she folded up the hospital gown, leaving it on the bed, glad to finally be able to go home. Then she went out into the hall, glancing both ways, seeing that Axel was waiting for her in the waiting room. She approached him slowly, going up behind him and covering his eyes with her hands.
The red-head tensed momentarily then smiled. "Hey Roxas." The blonde smiled widely then pressed her lips to the top of Axel's head before ruffling the wild hair. Axel looked up, returning the smile.
"Your mom's speaking with Vexen at the moment. When she's done we'll be ready to go." Roxas nodded.
"Okay," she said, sitting next to her lover and gripping his hand. "Until then, let's wait here."
"Alright."

A/N: It felt so weird not having Vexen be a villain xDD;
I bet if you've read my other stuff you were expecting something to happen, too :P
This chapter feels somewhat boring to me ):
Sorry if it feels that way to you too.
Anyway;
Love it? Hate it? Let me know?
