Okay, so here's the second part.

I hope people will enjoy this. You won't believe the hours I've stressed myself over this story going 'Are the characters in character?', 'Is Roxas being a little too uke?', 'Why is Axel being a mush pot?' So I toughened some things up with some bad words.

Gasp! Bad words? Tisk, Tisk.

I appologize for all these short chapters. I much prefer long ones myself. Actually, I've just been writing this story up and breaking it down, so its actually more like a story. I just had to post it as I went along tho... T.T I was hoping people would encourange me on since I tend to lose interest in something if other people don't like it.

Oh well.

ON IT GOES!

Part 2

/ Two halves cannot function without the other. This is the essence of being whole. \\

Their lips brushed slightly, holding this sweet tenderness to it. The red haired man felt a wave of warmth pass through him, heating his features. He let his eyes droop as he absorbed the feel of the beautiful boy with his aching lips. How he wanted so much more...

At the moment their mouths touched, Roxas' eyes fluttered as they shifted their focus. His limbs froze and stiffened as a tingle went down his back. A sudden alarm promptly went off in the back of his head that brought Roxas back to reality.

With a mighty shove the younger boy pushed the fiery haired man away, while wiping his mouth on his leathery coat sleeve. "What the fuck was that?" Roxas demanded as he leapt away feeling every inch of his body tense up.

What was that? Sapphire eyes focused sharply on the red head as he felt his hand wander up to his face to touch his lips slightly. Uneasiness settled in the pit of his stomach as a shiver went up Roxas' back as he recalled the feel of the man's lips against his own.

"Roxas... I..."

"Don't give me that shit Axel!" With a swift movement, Roxas' legs started to carry him away from the scene.

"No! Wait!" Footsteps started to follow closely behind. Axel wasn't going to give up easily, and fortunately for him, he was taller and faster then the younger boy and quickly caught up. His black gloved hand extended and enclosed on the boy small wrist in mid run, pulling him to a halt.

"Just listen Roxas."

"Let go!" the blond haired boy let out an aggravated cry as he struggled against the firm grip. However he was unsuccessful in the attempt to set himself free and only ended up hurting himself. " Don't ever touch me again!"

Yes... Hurtful things would get rid of Axel once and for all, but the words were just as hurtful to speak. Fatigue began to set in causing Roxas' thrashing became weaker.

Seeing that the boy was beginning to calm down, Axel took the moment to speak. "I... well... We are just half a person right?"

What? Roxas turned and gave the green-eyed man a queer look.

"I don't think we are entirely without a heart... It's just hidden and locked away in a place we can't feel it. But it's there, half of a whole heart... but yeah..." Axel let go of his friend and scratched his head, a sad smile playing on his face. "The point is... well... ah, this is so fucking cheesy... but when I'm with you Roxas, I feel like I have a heart. I..."

Something was coming from inside of Axel's throat.

Roxas felt something move inside his chest.

"I love you Roxas."

A sharp pain stabbed Roxas' chest; his hand shot up to clutch his cloaked chest with a whimper.

Ba-Bump

His mouth fell open expecting words that would only push the man away again to come out, but nothing came.

Ba-Bump

With gentle hands, Axel gathered Roxas' face in his black clothed palms and planted another loving kiss on the boy's lips. Timidly, Roxas responded by shyly tugging on Axel's dark cloak, deepening the kiss by pulling him in closer.

Ba-Bump

"Axel... I..." The mesmerizing blue-eyed boy whispered softly as they pulled away to breathe.

"Shh," Axel hushed by putting a finger over Roxas' lips. "Let's become whole now."
