Whooooooooooooo!!! That took 100 and one million years, didn't it? I REALLY REALLY REALLY like this chapter. Hopefully you will too? I'm super duper sorry if it's confusing. Just remember, the italicized stuff is what Axel is thinkingg. The last scene of this has no quotes…I did that on purpose. I'm sorry if that makes it confusing. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me! There's only gonna be one more guys [ I love you!!!

Chapter Eight. Sifting Through a Bed of Roses. This is Axel's Story.

Their lips pulled apart, taking a thin string of saliva with them. Roxas blushed, blinked a few times, and the look of pure shock on his face quickly changed to one of confusion.

"Say something." Axel begged, unable to handle the suspense.

"Well…I would say that I don't know what to say, but that would be way too cliché. So I guess I'll just ask what the fuck that was." Roxas spat out. It was intended to sound as if he was angry, but it was void of all emotion. He sounded tired and helpless.

"That was me kissing you." Axel replied, flashing Roxas a small smile.

Axel, what are you doing?! You have boyfriend. Well, at least you had a boyfriend this morning…or...last night…or…Okay I guess you don't have a boyfriend. Scratch that.

"No shit dumbass. I was referring to that…thing." Roxas asked, searching desperately for a way to describe said "thing."

"Okay now I'm lost. Care to explain?"

"You didn't feel it?" Roxas asked, a worried tone vaguely echoing in the back of his throat.

"Roxas, I feel a lot of things right now. It's up to you to tell me which one of those things you're referring to." The redhead said, calmly leaning against the wall behind him. The bulge he was feeling in his pants less than two minutes ago was now weakening. This was a waste of time. Why were they talking about feelings when they could be doing other things? But then again, this was about more than just sex…wasn't it?

"Axel why did you kiss me?" Roxas asked, a determined look on his boyish face.

"Well," Axel said as he lit up a cigarette. "I kissed you twice. The first time I kissed you I was drunk off my face and you were too cute to resist. The second time I kissed you, just now, I was--and still am--dealing with what might just be a very severe breakup. And you're really fucking cute and feisty and so goddamn sexy. There's just something about you. Something that makes my dick moan, if you know what I mean." The pyro winked at the younger boy before taking another long drag off his cigarette.

If Axel hadn't been filling his lungs up with cancer he would have noticed that the boy in front of him was not very happy to hear those words. Oh no, in fact, his fists were clenching and unclenching, his nails digging into his palms so deep he knew there would be marks tomorrow. His eyes were shooting daggers into Axel's oblivious face and his pink cheeks reddened with anger and embarrassment.

"I hate you." This declaration was not a very loud one, or a very forceful one. In fact, it was quiet, but just loud enough to get the point across, and filled with emotion. His voice was steady, but not at all calm. Axel looked up from his cigarette.

"I hate you so much." Roxas ripped the annoyingly potent cigarette from Axel's lips as it was replaced with Roxas' own soft ones. The kiss was hard and forceful, intended to be painful, and Roxas was suddenly the dominant one. His fingers were wrapped around Axel's pale neck, his teeth biting down hard on smoky lips.

Action. Shock. Reaction.

Experienced hands running up inexperienced shirts. Small fistfuls of flaming red hair.

Sora kissing Riku. Riku kissing Sora. Pale on tan, brown on peach, black on white. Opposites, opposites…

Anger. Force. Hatred. Love. Lips on lips and skin on skin. Shirts removed and tongues on small pink nipples. Biting, licking, shudders and chills.

Same. Hate + hate just creates more hate. Heartbreak + heartbreak mends broken hearts. One half + one half equals one whole. I learned that in first grade, so why am I just realizing it now?

Belts thrown across rooms, legs entangled, groins straddled, thrust, thrust, moan. Wait, wait, wait, maybe we shouldn't. We're going to fast. Wait Axel, wa-OhmyGod. OhmyGod, ohmyGod, this is so good. Why is this so good?

Riku, Riku, Ri--Roxas. Riku has Sora. Sora, Sora, Sora. Oh my God this is Sora's twin. I have Sora's twin's cock down my throat. Oh my Jesus why does that turn me on so much?

Axel. Oh my God, Axel. We have to, we have to sto…what if Sora…what if Sora comes? Sees, not comes. Oh God, that's just too…it's coming, it's coming, it's coming. I'm coming!

Bloodrush. Throbbing, pulsating in my throat. Thick and salty and it's never tasted this sweet before. Since when did it taste good at all?

Smirk. I thought you hated me.

He doesn't hate me.

I do hate you.

Then why did you come for me?

Really now? Maybe I should stop…

Look at his face…he's so obscure. Not as pure as I thought, not anymore. I have corrupted him. Who knew corruption would make someone feel that good?

Axel don't you dare even think about it!

Suddenly…I want to make him scream so loud he hates me even more. If this is how he treats someone he hates, I never want him to love me like I love him.

Wait what?

Bitemarks and bloodstains and cum that makes skin shine and slick as they grind against each other. Natural lubricant that acts as the glue binding their hearts, souls, minds and bodies together as one.

One. I kind of like the idea of becoming one with this boy.

Axel…

His hand's on my heart. Can he feel it pounding in my chest at lightning speed? Does he know that he made it do that?

Axel there's a hole inside you. Half of you is empty, now. Something's missing that was there before.

Riku…

I want…to fill that hole.

This is the end of the beginning. Forever waits, and this time I'm not as scared as I used to be.
