In a GAY World
Chapter 21 – Eight + Thirteen
"Axel! Axel, just wait a second..." Roxas tried to chase down the redhead when he turned away from him and walked down the other side of the bar to serve another customer. "Fuck this!" the blonde threw his hands up in exasperation and dropped his head on the wooden bar.
"Hey, hey... don't go around getting a concussion, I want you conscious tonight," Hayner grinned beside him, sipping on his beer and looking down at his best friend from the corner of his eyes.
"You!" Roxas shot up suddenly, pointing a finger in the other's face. "It's all your fault. Everything you say has some sort of sexual innuendo behind it! I don't even understand how but it just does!"
Hayner shrugged once more and continued sipping at his beer.
The two remained at the counter a while longer, ordering two more drinks from the silent redhead that glared at Hayner before scurrying off to the other side of the bar as before.
After a moment the empty seat beside Hayner was occupied by one of the two owners of the bar. Luxord ordered his own drink before turning to Hayner. His lips were wide open, a grin spreading them before the words even escaped, when he noticed Hayner holding a finger to his own lips, his eyes widened in a warning.
Luxord's expression fell, he looked the young man over, as if to make sure it was the same person, then noticed Roxas's head resting on the bar beside his elbow.
"He with you?" he motioned towards the fallen head.
Roxas groaned low and stood up suddenly. "I gotta take a piss!"
"That's the spirit! Inform the whole bar!" although the words seemed mocking Hayner was holding his beer up as if in a toast and a wide grin on his lips. Roxas flipped him off over his shoulder and disappeared.
Hayner looked down the bar, making sure Axel was occupied before he leaned into Luxord. "I'm on a secret mission," he whispered which caused Luxord's grin to widen. "Gotta get that one," he pointed to Axel, "and that one," his head motioned to the bathroom, "together in less than a week."
For a moment Luxord seemed confused then sat up a bit straighter. "Why a week?"
Hayner sighed heavily. "Guy who told me to do it is coming back in a few days, wants it done by then."
"Ex?"
Hayner shook his head. "Brother."
"Oh... blonde spikes and sour-face?" Hayner nodded. "Yea... sure... so I don't know you today?" once more Hayner nodded.
Luxord laughed loudly, noticing Axel's attention already on them. "Well, keep drinking bud! You're next round's on me!" he spoke loudly, clapped the man's shoulder and sat up. "Axel... give them a free round on me."
"I'm not smashed," Roxas groaned as he moved back to his seat.
As Luxord passed Axel he leaned to the redhead. "It's their first date... make it special." Axel's eyes flared on fire and Luxord only laughed harder, clapping the man's shoulder before sliding away from the bar all-together.
Axel walked to the two, slammed two beers in front of them then turned around. "I'm going on break," he called and one of the guys on the floor came around the counter instead. Axel walked around, ignoring Roxas' reaching hand and out the front door, a cigarette already between his lips.
Roxas swore under his breath, glared at Hayner and sat up. "Don't—" he threatened with a finger pointed at the other "—come out now. Sit your ass down and wait."
"Yes, master." Hayner grinned widely and decided to finish off his beer as fast as possible so he could have Roxas's as well. He knew the younger male didn't like beer anyway, so he was technically doing him a favour.
As soon as Roxas stepped outside he heard the redhead scoff and push off the wall, walking to the alley that held the 'employee's only' door that had been broken for the past three months.
"Wait up," Roxas groaned and followed after him. "Can I talk to you?"
"About what?"
"Why are you being such a bitch?" Roxas snapped suddenly.
"I don't know... ask your boyfriend in there," Axel pointed with the same two fingers that held his cigarette back to the bar.
"Fuck!" the blonde jumped a little. "He's my fucking best friend, not boyfriend! I admit, we did fool around before..." Axel's eyes narrowed "...but that was before. As in it's over. As in... I'm only..." Roxas's steam ran out and the boy stepped back a little, a blush painting his cheeks. "I only have... I mean..." his eyes danced around now and Axel became curious.
"What is it?"
"I only like... you..." the blue eyes didn't rise to meet the surprise in Axel's green.
"I can see that," surprise was overtaken by scepticism and Axel scoffed.
"Fuck!" Roxas was angry again. He grabbed the redhead's shirt and dragged him a little to the alley. Surprise was on his side and the much taller male followed without realizing what was happening until he was slammed against the brick wall of his bar. Not even a second later the cigarette was ripped from his lips and that same hand was at the back of his neck, tugging him down.
It wasn't Roxas's fault that Axel was so damn tall and even leaning up on his toes wasn't enough to bring him on par with the other so he put most of his weight into pulling down Axel by the neck and the redhead seemed unable to deny the prompt. Their lips locked and Roxas immediately relaxed his body into the other's, sighing out into the kiss when he felt Axel's tongue responding to his own.
When the two pulled away Axel noticed his hands wound around the blonde's waist, pulling him flush against him while Roxas's hands were around his neck, tugging his head down for another kiss. The blonde was breathing heavily, a light blush of arousal painting his cheeks that made Axel's pants tighten uncomfortably. He looked at the moist, parted lips and licked his own in response.
"Okay... you like me... then what was all the dancing around for?"
Roxas's blush deepened to that of embarrassment and he tried to pull away. The redhead held him firm and stared down at him.
"Explain..."
"I can't..." Roxas turned his eyes away. "But!" he looked to the other when he felt Axel's arms tense around him in anger. "That's why Hayner is here for."
"Hayner?" Axel growled out the name.
"I can't... say it... without dying of embarrassment."
"But he knows!?"
Roxas's blue eyes narrowed in a glare. "There is nothing between him and I. We are just best friends!"
"Then this morning, in bed... that was you two just bonding?" Axel pushed away and turned to go back into the bar.
Roxas missed on grabbing his arm so he had to follow him in. He sighed when he noticed the glare Axel sent to Hayner and went to sit beside his friend again. "Axel..." he called and was surprised when the redhead actually came closer to listen. "I have a problem—"
"Good for you."
"Hey... listen to him, you dickweed!"
"Excuse me?" Axel's eyes snapped to Hayner. The blonde was glaring at him and he put down his beer.
"You're excused. Now fuckin' sit your ass down and listen."
"Don't tell me what to do!" Axel defended himself.
"Axel!" Luxord called from the corner. "Don't start a fight in my bar!"
"Don't worry, pops... I'll fuckin' start it!" Hayner growled and reached across the bar, grabbing Axel by the front of his shirt and tugging at him. "Wanna come over and get your ass kicked!?"
"Bring it on, shrimp." Axel slapped his hand away and walked around the bar to the shorter male.
"Hay!" Luxord called in warning, a friendly fatherly voice that startled Axel as much as the nickname did. He turned to the older man with curiosity. "You better hurry up Seifer will be here in a few."
"Fuck," Hayner swore and threw the first punch. Axel doubled over, caught by surprise from the cheap-shot. "Now, listen the fuck up." Hayner warned as Axel was straightening out.
Roxas groaned louder and got out of his stool. "Hay... don't hurt him..." Hayner shoved Roxas a little rougher than necessary, pointed a finger at him and glared in warning. He then turned that glare to Axel, but was caught cross-eyed by the punch to his own stomach. He doubled over and stepped back a bit.
"Fuck! Just fuckin' listen to him! I swear... you don't take care of him, I'm gonna take him, and you'll never see him again!"
"See? Nothing between you two, right?" Axel scoffed to Roxas and grabbed Hayner by the hair. "Now, getting out of the fucking bar."
"Hey!" a powerful voice boomed and Axel looked up to see Luxord holding back a man that was taller than him with the same light blonde hair, blue eyes, and even the same strong set in his jaw as the bar-owner. "Get your fuckin' hands off of him!" Seifer yelled and turned to his father. "You fuckin' allowed this?"
"Trust me... needed to," Luxord sighed and finally gave up on holding his son back.
Seifer was at Hayner's side in seconds, pulling the smaller blonde up against him and glaring at Axel. "What's this business about?"
"Seifer... relax..." Hayner tried to calm down the older man.
"Fuck if I'm gonna relax... I'm the only one allowed to beat you up. I'm already pissed enough I allow this chickenshit to sleep in the same bed as you 'cause of his stupid psychological fear or some shit."
Those words finished the argument.
Roxas was blushing and tried to hide into the counter, Axel was surprised as he finally understood all those times where Sora complained he was sore in the morning because of Roxas. It also explained this morning's incident. But then why was Hayner so set on taking Roxas away, it was obvious the man liked Roxas.
"Thank you!" Hayner turned around, throwing out the words in exasperation. "Finally, somebody was able to get some fuckin' words through to that idiot!" His hands latched onto the side of Seifer's face and he tugged down roughly, bringing the taller blonde down so their lips could lock.
"Oi, oi! I warned ya guys, not in my fuckin' bar!" Luxord growled from the corner, turning his eyes away.
"Sure thing, pops," Hayner grinned at the older man when the kiss was finished then turned that grin into a sly smile facing Seifer. "Your place?"
"Fuck it. Too far," he grabbed Hayner by the wrist and dragged him suddenly. "Sorry, pops... gonna clean the room when we're done," he shoved through the door into the manager's room of the bar, closing the door behind him. After a moment the door opened, Xigbar was shoved out and he looked over his shoulder as the door was slammed again.
"What's got them riled up?" he pointed over his shoulder at the door.
Luxord groaned as if in pain and rested his head against the near wall. "Fuckin' brats, gonna make 'em sanitize the whole office and clean the entire bar." The rough words caused his British accent to slip slightly but after a moment the older man was straightened out and composed. He glared at Axel and put his drink down. "You... out. You're done for the night. I'll see you Friday night."
The redhead was still surprised everything that had occurred so when Roxas gently tugged at his arm to pull him out, he complied without question. The two were silent on their way back to their apartments and in the elevator. As they walked down the hall Axel stood still silent and shocked in front of his door as Roxas just unlocked his own.
The blonde bit his bottom lip and pushed the door open without stepping in. "Wanna come in?" he motioned inside with his head.
Axel looked up at him, still having to get his keys out. He forgot about it and nodded. "You got some explaining to do for me, please."
Roxas blushed and nodded, pushing the redhead a bit faster and closing, and locking, the door behind him. He pushed Axel to the living room and onto the couch there. Without even giving the redhead the time to realize what was happening, he was straddling his lap and making sweet-love to his mouth.
He pulled away from the kiss shortly, the blush of arousal hiding the embarrassment he felt at the next words that escaped his lips. "The sex... is too good."
Axel blushed himself, hands on the other's hips, but he still didn't understand it.
"You see... ern... it felt so good I thought... that if we start a relationship, its gonna be only sex," his eyes finally turned away.
"Why?"
"Did we really seem that loving before?" Roxas asked dead-pan.
"Good point," Axel winced. "But we had a lot of shit happening then."
"Yea... and... I like the sex when it was..."
"A little rougher?" Roxas nodded, biting his bottom lip and blushing as red as Axel's hair. "Well... we still can..."
"But... I don't want only sex." Their eyes finally met and Axel seemed to finally understand everything that was going through the blonde's head. He smiled softly and nodded.
"Alright," he pushed at the blonde and after a bit of encouragement they were sitting beside each other on the couch and holding hands. "Do you want to go out with me?"
Roxas blushed and nodded. Axel leaned in and their lips locked in a chaste kiss. "Good. Don't worry... we can take it slow and—" he interrupted himself when he noticed the horror and shock etched on Roxas's features. "What?"
"I didn't say not to have any sex!!" Roxas almost bellowed out and when he realized his words he shrunk back, blushing.
Axel let a deep chuckle escape his lips and nodded. "Alright. But... one last thing. What is this sleeping problem you have?"
The blonde's expression darkened and his hand squeezed Axel's tighter. "When I was little I used to sleep with Cloud... I was always afraid of the dark so we usually slept together. When he and Sephiroth started dating, that became less and less. And then pretty much every night when I slept alone the next day Cloud would come home looking like a mess."
Axel nodded suddenly, pulling the blonde closer to him. "It's okay... don't think about it. I'm sorry."
"I still have problems sleeping alone some times. Usually I just sneak into Sora's bed, he's used to it by now. But when Sora wasn't around I always slept with Hayner. We've known each other since we were in diapers!"
Axel nodded and brushed at the blonde locks. "Alright. I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"It's okay... I usually don't tell people. They either pick up on it by themselves or like in Riku's case, Sora tells them."
The redhead nodded again. "Alright."
They remained in silence for a few minutes longer. Roxas got more comfortable and then Axel was leaning against the back of the couch, Roxas curled up beside him with his head on the redhead's shoulder.
The clock ticked by and neither noticed the time rush as they enjoyed each other's company. After a while though Axel started squirming. Roxas noticed and opened his tired eyes, trying to remember when he closed them, and he noticed the slight tent forming in Axel's pants.
"Sorry..." the redhead apologized with a grin. "But you're kinda breathing down my neck, and last time I... was with you."
Roxas smiled and nodded. Then he realized the other couldn't see the smile and grinned instead. His hand ran down his chest and easily cupped the redhead's covered groin. "That's okay." He explained when Axel hissed at the contact.
Roxas sat up a little, looked over his shoulder at Axel, before doubling over and leaning down. He unzipped the other's jeans and reached into his boxers, freeing the hardening length quickly and not even giving time for Axel to realize hwas free before engulfing him as far as he could take him.
The redhead arched his hips off the couch and moaned into the ceiling, his hands immediately looking for a hold and one of them finding Roxas's hair. Roxas grinned around the length in his mouth and hummed, sending the redhead into further oblivion with the action.
* * * * *
Not even a week later Cloud and Leon were back from their short vacation, sitting in with the small crowd in Axel's and Demyx's apartment. The two hosts were handing out drinks to the group as Roxas was taking out the movie they had just watched from the player. They were about to call it a night, deciding to all go back home and entertain more strenuous activities.
Roxas and Axel had decided to keep their new relationship a secret from the others for a while. They didn't want a big explosion to happen, especially if it didn't work out. Not that they were expecting for their relationship to end as soon as it started, however they were wary of it. Especially since so far they had only gone on one date, all others postponed in favour of sex.
Hayner had also joined them and Cloud didn't seem to be too happy with the younger man. Just as Cloud had caught Hayner when the two in question slid into the small kitchen, about to question him, they heard Naminé squeal in delight and both looked at her..
"What is it?"
Everyone were staring at the small girl in surprise as she stared into the kitchen.
"You two got together!? Didn't you?" she pointed to Roxas and Axel who were now standing a foot apart, Roxas handing the redhead back his DVD.
"Ermm..."
"You did! I knew it! When?" the blonde sat up running to them. The entire room still seemed surprised at this.
"We... err..." Roxas glanced at the redhead. They had decided while they will not tell the crowd, they will also not lie if asked about it. "Last week?"
"WHAT!?" the collective yell had the blonde closing his eyes tightly and trying to hide behind Axel.
"No, no!" Zack booed at the two of them suddenly, catching Axel as he was walking back to them. "Keep the tradition!" the older man grabbed the DVD and shoved Axel back into the kitchen, with everyone looking over the counter. When Axel tried to step out Zack came at him again and shoved harder, sending the redhead right into Roxas. "Confess in the kitchen!"
"Come on!" Roxas groaned.
"Okay!" at the same time Axel grinned.
"No!" Roxas about to warn but suddenly he found his hips locked between Axel's own and the sink counter. The redhead leaned down and locked his lips with Roxas, his arms sliding down and cupping a perfect butt.
Hollers, whistles and yells of approval came around them, but Axel didn't pull away. He yanked, his hands having slid to Roxas's thighs and now he had lifted the blonde, spreading his thighs as he settled between them while he sat the smaller male on the counter.
He pulled back from the kiss only to whisper "don't fall" and Roxas realized he had no purchase on anything other than Axel, his butt hanging off over the sink. He wrapped his arms around the others neck and dug his fingers into the fiery red hair, clutching at it and yanking to better accommodate Axel for their kiss.
"Hey, hey... you guys can stop now..." somebody's voice echoed but they ignored it. They were into it now.
"You guys?" Roxas moaned when Axel ground into him and threw his head bck, separating from the kiss to moan even louder.
"Okay!" that one was Cloud. "I am not watching my kid-brother getting it on. Have a good night," he was covering the side of his face as he walked past the kitchen, his fingers intertwined with Leon's as the brunette followed with a small grin.
"Gutsy kid," Leon spoke of Axel. "Does he know you can rip him apart without a problem?"
"GOOD NIGHT!!!" Cloud shouted as loud as he could and the two of them slipped out.
"Alright, alright... I get it... you guys want the old guys gone so you can party... sure, sure..." Zack sighed and turned to leave.
"Yo, can you give me a ride?" Hayner went up to him. "Don't wanna be in the apartment tonight."
"Sure... have a good night, guys," he waved to the few people left over.
Riku followed right after them.
"No, come on Riku... hey... help me out..." Demyx groaned as he looked at the two. Axel was shirtless already. "Damn it! You had to start it Nami," he turned a mock glare at his girlfriend and she just giggled.
"Jeez... will you two just... go to Roxas's apartment!?"
"No..." Axel mumbled and his mouth was once again occupied.
Last resort. "If you stay here, you'll have to clean!"
Axel grunted slightly as he pulled Roxas, carrying the blonde whose legs wrapped completely around his hips.
"Yes..." Demyx hissed out and ran before them, opening the apartment door to send them in the hall.
"Open their door too!" Naminé warned. "Otherwise they'll do it in the hallway." Demyx groaned but followed the girl's instructions. As soon as that was done he breathed out a sigh of relief.
The hallway of Roxas's apartment wasn't that bad of an option so Axel decided to lower the blonde down there, and proceed in ravishing him completely.
