I have a bunch of old fics I never posted, so I figured I might as well. Enjoy!

Body Issues

Roxas was lounging on Axel's bed, her legs propped up against the wall. She could hear Axel in the shower, the next room over. She felt guilty, but she couldn't help but imagine what her friend looked like naked, with her perfect body dripping wet. The images running through her mind made her squirm, face heated.

She heard the shower stop and sighed softly, her fantasies coming to an abrupt halt. Roxas bit at her lip guiltily, glancing at her feet that were still on Axel's wall. Axel hated it when she put her feet on the walls. So before the redhead returned she dropped her feet from the wall to the bed. She frowned slightly at the way her thighs jiggled with the motion and pinched at the fat distastefully.

When Axel walked into the room wearing just her panties, her hair wrapped up in a towel, she came across the sight of Roxas lying mournfully across her bed on her stomach.

"What's wrong Rox?" the taller girl asked, as she begun towelling her hair dry – she was a little envious of Roxas for having short hair, which she knew dried quickly. But she couldn't bring herself to cut her hair just to make life easier, she liked it too much.

"I'm fat." Roxas' cry was slightly muffled by the pillow she'd stuffed under her face. "Fat. Fat. Fat." She thrashed her legs about a little in a childish way.

Axel raised an eyebrow, lowering her towel and turned to face Roxas properly, "'Scuse me? Roxy you are not fat."

"I am." Roxas whined, rolling over onto her back. "My thighs jiggle, and my ass jiggles, my tummy jiggles, hell even my arms probably jiggle." She cast a sad look at her friend, "Why can I be like you? You're perfect and skinny and your thighs don't even touch."

Axel scoffed, "You are not fat Roxas. You're beautiful and curvy. And I'm a huge fan of your ass and your hips and your stomach and your arms. All of you in fact." The redheaded girl paused, then grinned slyly, giving Roxas a lecherous once over, "And your thighs would never touch with my face between them."

Roxas spluttered and blushed, her eyes wide. "Uhm, what?"

"You heard me." Axel hummed, finishing drying her hair while Roxas pouted on the bed, cheeks still flushed cutely.

Roxas sat up, her hair ruffled from rolling about. Her hands were clenched in the fabric of her sleep shirt. "You think I'm beautiful?" she asked shyly, looking at the carpet.

"Uh, yeah." Axel stated bluntly, like it was obvious. "You're gorgeous. You're soft and feminine and you've got the best set of tits I've ever seen." The blush came back to Roxas' face full force. "If you were single and into chicks I'd be all over you in a second... sorry if this is a little creepy." Axel grinned apologetically.

Which was kind of weird, Roxas thought distantly, because Axel never apologised for her flirty, creepy comments.

"Uhm," Roxas titled her head curiously, she'd thought Axel had known... "I am."

"You are what?" Axel asked distractedly, going through her drawers now for a shirt to pull on.

"I'm single and I... uhm... like girls?" the last bit came out like a question much to Roxas' embarrassment. She was sure, she just hadn't said it aloud much.

Axel paused, a shirt held in her hand, "No shit? I thought you were with that Hayner guy?"

Roxas shook her head vigorously, a hopeful, bubbly feeling starting in her stomach, "Noooo! No! No. We were best friends when we were kids. We just kind of hang out a lot now 'cause we go to the same school again."

"Hmm." Axel looked thoughtful as she leant against her drawers, her search for a shirt abandoned. "So you're single?" Roxas nodded. "And you like girls? Like, like, right?" Roxas looked slightly affronted so Axel held up her hands in a calming gesture, "Hey, just checking. Aaaaaand does that mean the looks I was getting weren't just my hopeful imagination? You like what you see?" a quick gesture to her body which made Roxas want to scoff.

Of course she liked what she saw. Axel was stunningly good looking.

Instead she just nodded, waiting for Axel to continue.

"Well, then I say we do something about this situation between us." Axel's smile was warm, despite the bright, hungry interest in her eyes.

"Oh, what do you suggest?" Roxas asked with a coy smile. More confident now that she knew the interest was mutual.

Axel flicked off the light in the room, they were plunged into darkness but for the minimal moonlight coming in through the drawn curtains, "Why don't you climb in under my covers, and I'll join you." The redhead purred, making her way across the room to join Roxas, who was already sliding under the sheets. "I'm sure we can work something out. Maybe I'll start by keeping your thighs from touching."
