Enjoy!
Chapter 25.
Things continued as normal for Roxas and I. We met up most days, usually about five or six days out of seven and we went out on dates... yeah I know, it felt weird me saying that. The last time I had been on a date, was when I was in college. I had dated this one girl called Tiffa for about three weeks. She was an OK girl, had a great badass attitude and long brown hair, but when she caught me making out with Yuffie, she called it off. I admit it, I was a bit of a sleep around. I used to be the type of guy who just wanted a relationship because it meant I got sex a lot. I was young and stupid and even though I knew I liked men and not women, I wasn't going to let that ruin my reputation so the only guys I slept with were people in my group or people outside of college, and nothing was ever serious while I was in college.
Anyway, we met up, made out, gave hand and blow jobs and went out to a few different places. We hired out films to watch every once in a while and I'd drop Roxas off home afterwards. He never really slept round my house, mostly because my place was a one bed place and if he ever did stay round mine, he slept on the sofa even though we were seeing each other. I guess in a way we just wanted to take things slowly and even though he had slept round mine while we were best friends and neither of us wanted anything to change, we both saw a lot of each other and both liked our own space and we just wanted to take things slow. I couldn't promise myself or the boy that I wouldn't waltz in, in the middle of the night and molest him, and he couldn't promise me the same thing either.
However neither of us minded, we rented out movies and I dropped him home afterwards, sometimes the movies just resulted as being nothing more than background noise but it didn't matter. I took him here there and everywhere. We went to the beach, had picnics, I took him for meals, to the cinema, bowling, breakfast, ice skating, anything I could think of and we always had a fantastic time together.
Things were going steady; we loved being around each other, we were completely honest with each other and even though sometimes it was awkward, we both knew it was for the best.
When Roxas started to ask me about my old relationships, I got a little tense, and I won't lie, I really wanted to ask him to drop it. But Roxas deserved to know, I mean I knew that he was a virgin and knew about the stuff with Malakie so it was the least I could do to be honest with him, I mean he had been honest with me. I just really didn't want him to judge me for how I used to be.
"How many men have you slept with?" he asked blatantly as we were walking home with a pizza in our hands. I swallowed hard and cleared my throat. Damn it, busted.
"Erm, why do you want to know?" I asked casually but Roxas noticed and smiled, not looking at me.
"Why are you avoiding it?" I licked my lips.
"Probably about..."
"Actually, how many actual relationships have you had... answer that one first." I sucked in air through my teeth.
"Erm, define relationship." I told him and Roxas laughed and rolled his eyes.
"OK someone who you've actually liked, dated and has lasted more then two months... and preferably lasted after the first time you had sex." I smiled. Roxas knew me too well, Sora had told him a lot about my college life and how bad I used to be so he knew pretty much about what I used to be like. The kid was really testing my brains.
"OK, the longest relationship I've had, has only lasted about two or three months at best, and we were sleeping together within the first week or so, does that count?" I asked and Roxas rolled his eyes.
"You're crap... do I know this person?" he asked and I lowered my eyes and bit my lip nervously.
"Yeah it was erm... it was Demyx..." Roxas' jaw dropped and he looked at me dumbfounded and I smiled and ran a hand through my hair, scratching the back of my neck nervously.
"Oh my god! Who else in the group have you slept with? Actually, I don't want to know; you're probably going to say my brother." My face screwed up and I frowned at him.
"You are joking? Sora isn't my type and I wouldn't stand a chance with Riku in proximity." Roxas nodded and smiled.
"I always did think they were a little close... kinda like how me and you were, before we decided to make everything official." I nodded and smiled in agreement. I think that Riku and Sora had been together for about two years now, or close to it. Roxas clearly noticed my awkwardness and decided to change the topic.
Things were going so well with us. Roxas decided to change the topic from my experiences to his birthday.
"I can't wait, I just want to be able to actually go out and do what I wanna do and then turn around to Sora and say, hey I'm old enough so there..." I smiled. Roxas was so damn cute when he babbled on like that.
"You do know your birthday is still like, about seven months away?" I asked and Roxas rolled his eyes.
"Can I not be excited?" he asked and I ruffled his hair and we continued back to my house.
Another few months passed and nothing changed between me and Roxas. We had been dating for almost seven months and had somehow managed to keep it a secret from absolutely everyone. Roxas continued to leave me various love bites and I left him one once and nearly died for it because he had to keep it hidden for nearly two weeks while it vanished. And as punishment, he point blank refused to kiss me for the whole day... however he was begging for me the next morning.
One night, Roxas and I decided to go out to the park together. The park in Twilight Town was always so beautiful, green luscious grass, lots of trees, birds singing, clean water with numerous life in and on it; ducks, geese, swans, fish, frogs; everything. Roxas and I went there for picnics a lot of the time but today, I just wanted to go and sit with him; sit with him and talk and kiss and not worry about anything.
We set up in our usual spot under a tree near the pond and sat on a red and black tartan blanket. Roxas lay down with his hands above his head and smiling. He always looked so content. He'd be happy just sitting here in complete silence as long as he was with me and I loved that.
"Sora wants to know when he's going to meet Roxanne." I frowned and thought for a moment, trying to figure out what he was on about. Roxanne? Roxas rolled his eyes at my confusion and then looked at me, smiling devilishly and arching an eyebrow. Oh...
"Oh, Roxanne yeah, er... I don't think that's a good idea." I told him and Roxas laughed and nodded.
"Yeah I know, not unless you wanna pay some girl off the street. That would be quite funny." He tilted his head to the side and smiled at the thought and I shook my head and lit up a cigarette.
I got half way through my fag when Roxas decided to pluck it from my lips and finished it off. I must admit, even though it was a rule breaker to let him smoke, he always looked so damn hot when he did it. Besides, in total I had broken about fifteen rules so I didn't really care anymore.
Roxas flicked the butt away and breathed out the grey smoke, letting his arms resume their usual position behind his head. I smiled and leaned closer to him, planting a soft kiss on his lips. He tasted like smoke and ice cream and it was so addictive. I felt him run his fingers through my hair and around my neck, I moaned into the kiss; enjoying it fully.
I felt his strong tongue run against my own and he sucked gently on it for a few seconds, occasionally nipping at my bottom lip to entice me into the kiss, making me want to deepen it and most likely trying to make me take things further.
I rested my hand on his forearm, pulling him tightly to my body in a strong embrace and felt Roxas lift his leg so his knee was against my outer thigh, his fingers still caressing the nape of my neck. God, horny now...
Roxas smiled against my lips and continued to kiss me, one of his hands roaming down to rest neatly at my waist as his fingertips curled under the fabric of my shirt and his nails scratched teasingly at my flesh. It was torture. Roxas pulled away from me for a moment and looked at me, his eyes showing how happy he was.
"Erm, there's something that I need to tell you..." my heart sank. Uh oh. Not good. Roxas licked his lips nervously and his face was very serious for a moment. Is he going to call it off?
I hoped not, not now, not when everything was going so well! I tried to hide my look of concern but Roxas obviously saw straight through it. His fingers were still idly running through my hair as he bit his lip anxiously. He swallowed hard and took a deep breath. This is it, prepare yourself for it...
"I love you." My jaw slackened and I stared at Roxas for a few moments, completely taken aback by what he had just said. Wow... did I just hear him right?
"You wha'?" I asked, clearly in shock and Roxas just smiled and rolled his eyes.
"I said; I love you, Axel." he told me again, exaggerating the words a little to make sure I heard him properly. My heart raced and my stomach tied in knots. Wow, clearly Roxas was more serious about this than I thought. I smiled at him and stroked his cheek, liking it when he pushed against my touch and smiled, closing his eyes and enjoying the feeling of my hand caressing his face.
"I love you too Rox." I whispered and he opened his eyes and smiled at me, arms still linked around my neck and pulled me down into a soft and gentle kiss. I couldn't believe what had just happened; my mind was racing. So this is real? This is really happening and it's serious? More so than I originally thought...
I smiled into the kiss and pulled Roxas a little closer to me, making the small blonde whimper slightly as I deepened the kiss and moved my tongue over his lips and tongue.
I could deal with that... I could totally deal with that.
