Chapter 16: The Heart's Melody
I was terribly, horribly, unavoidably nervous as I knocked on Naminé's front door. This was it. Tonight I would be reaching out to Axel with my heart on the line, begging him to take it and keep it in his own.
I almost threw up on the porch.
Naminé opened the door and quickly scurried out, giving me an eager hug. When she saw the look of nausea on my face though, her look changed to concern.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm nervous."
She smiled to comfort me, and she took my hand and lead me torward the subway station. Her touch had an eerie comfort to it, and I felt better.
The two of us were dressed fancily, as if we really were going out to dinner.
"I'm going to feel silly," Naminé told me, "all dressed up like this."
I grinned, "Then you're in luck! When I went over to Demyx's to drop off my change of clothes, he showed me the outfit he bought for you."
Yeah, I had left clothes for Demyx to bring to the show, so that I didn't have to look ridiculously out of place.
Her smile brightened even further when she heard this news, and we boarded the train.
"Really? Demyx bought me a present?"
I nodded.
She opened her purse that was slung over he shoulder, and pulled out a necklace with a sitar-shaped pendant.
"I got him a present, too."
I smiled, imagining how much Demyx would adore the pendant.
"I bet he'll wear it every day."
She smiled, and the two of us continued on our merry way.
We got to the club early, so that I could avoid Axel for a little while, and when I looked around to see if he was there, I was met by no green eyes or wild red hair.
Perfect.
Demyx and his band were setting up on stage, and I saw Naminé's face look longingly at her brother. There was a sadly peaceful look in her eye, and I touched her hand before she moved her gaze to me.
"You wanna go talk to him?"
"Yes."
We strode over, and when Demyx looked up, he nearly choked on the sucker that stuck out of his mouth. Naminé and I climbed up onto the stage, and Demyx stood up as straight as he could.
"Naminé..." he said, his face happy and sad all at the same time, "I... I have something for you."
He ran off for a moment, only to return with a box, and he handed it to her happily.
She opened it, admiring her punkish new outfit, and thanked him, before she took the necklace from her purse.
"This is for you."
He studied it, a goofy grin on his face, and finally put it around his neck. "Thanks, Nami."
Then, her arms wrapped around the older boy, and she held him in a tight embrace.
Demyx looked surprised for a moment, before putting his arms around the girl.
I smiled, watching them.
Slowly, the siblings parted, and Demyx turned to me.
"Your clothes are in the back. Go change, and then you might want to hide somewhere for a little while to avoid Axel."
I nodded, and set off to do just that.
-------------------
When I got to the club, the band was almost finished setting up. A small crowd had begun to form, but I quickly picked out a blonde chick in the clothes Demyx had shown me the night before.
I walked over, and tapped the girl on the shoulder.
"Hope you didn't forget about me." I said as the girl spun around.
"Axel!"
Soon I was tackled by a short femme with an enourmous hug.
"Nice to see you too, Nami. I'm guessing you've already seen Demyx?"
The girl let loose her hold on me, and smiled widely.
"Yes, but not for long. We're going to talk after the show, though."
I grinned. Cute kid, and always so very fond of her brother.
"Well congrats on your reunion." I said, fondly ruffling her hair.
Naminé had become a little sister to our entire gang over the course of the years, and we all loved her as such.
"Axel..." she started, looking away.
"What's wrong?"
"Please, I... Tell me what happened. With Roxas, he said that you... you and he..."
I stopped, remembering that the two had spoken.
"Well, Roxas... We..."
Why couldn'y I talk about this?
"You fell in love?"
I said nothing to that, and Naminé took it as a yes, opting to leave the situation be. I was grateful.
Demyx nervously introduced himself and the band to the crowd, and soon they started to play. I convinced Naminé into being my dance partner, and was suprised to find that such a sheltered girl could dance in a way so modern and daring. We laughed, had short conversations, and admired the talkent onstage as we moved to the rhythm.
When the first song was over, I grinned at the blonde girl.
"I'm going to get a drink, you want anything?"
"Just a water, please."
Always the polite one. I pushed my way through the crowd to the bar, and was met by a familliar face behind it.
"The usual?" the blonde man with many earring asked, putting both hands on the counter.
"Not tonight, Lux. Just a soda and a water."
"You got it."
As I waited for the drinks, I barely noticed Demyx making some more introductions before a soft melody started drifting through the air towards my ears. Then, I heard that voice.
"When love is true, how can you say 'we're not meant to be'..."
The voice was not that of Demyx, but it was painfully pleasant.
I turned to face it, and saw Roxas on the stage, nervously spouting the lyrics. I froze.
He held the microphone tightly, and there was a nervous sweat on his forehead. He was dressed in the outfit Demyx had given him, his eyes focused on me.
I felt my mouth drop.
"My life is you, so why let them pull me away from you?"
A firey pain stabbed at my heart as our eyes connected. He was singing to me, that blonde brat of my fantasies, and I was frozen still. The beat quickened.
"I was lost, until you came, I fell in love, you pushed away-"
I wanted to run.
"-and forced a lie, why can't you say how you feel about me?"
I felt myself stumble backwards, bumping into the bar. Then I saw Demyx's mischievious grin.
"Demyx, you bastard..." I mumbled under my breath.
"Somewhere in my heart, I know I'll love you forever, I'll never get over you, knowing we should be together..."
My brain told me to run, but my legs turned to jell-o. I couldn't take my eyes off the boy. He was singing to me with all his heart, and I could feel his passion within my own.
"We can't deny, how the stars all align, every time you look into my eyes, shining down on us, don't let us lose it..."
The song was coming to an end, the medly growing softer.
"Tell me how you feel about me..."
It was over, and the crowd cheered at Roxas looked directly into my eyes, chest heaving.
"Dude, do you want these or not?" I heard the bartender say behind me, snapping me from my daze.
"I-I gotta go," I stammered, before turning to the door.
----------------
I saw Axel turning to leave, and I leaped off the stage into the crowd. I had to talk to him, and I wasn't about to let him get away.
"Axel!" I called out as I made my way through the mass of people.
He didn't stop his casual walk as he went through the door.
I ran out the exit, and quickly caught up to him, grabbing his hand.
"Axel..." I managed to whisper through my heavy breathing.
He stopped abruptly in his stride, before turning to me, a pained look in his eyes.
"I sang that for you..."
He stared onto the street, avoiding my eyes.
"Axel, please. I just want to talk to you."
No responce.
"I don't know what the deal is with Hayner, but whatever it is, I don't care. I'll want to be with you no matter what."
I gripped his hand with both of mine, but he still didn't look at me.
"Don't make promises you can't keep."
"Axel, please..."
"Stop it! You're better off not knowing!"
"But-"
"Just stop! You're breaking your own heart and mine too! The longer you carry this on, the more pain we'll both go through!"
I felt tears stinging my eyes.
"I'm going to find out one way or another, and I'd rather hear it from you!" I yelled back.
"You don't know what you're asking!"
"Then tell me!"
He ripped his hand away from me, despite my hold on it.
"You wanna know?! Fine!" I saw flames flicker across the palms of his hands.
"I dated Hayner for about three moths, okay!? I broke up with him two days before he killed himself, and before he did it, he made me promise to take care of you!"
Flames danced in a wide circle around us and I stepped back, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"Are you happy now!?" he screamed at me, enraged.
"N-no." I choked out.
"Well it's too late!"
Suddenly, everything had come together in my mind, and I felt dizzy. The heat from the flames surrounded me for a moment, before they died down and dissapeared.
Axel was Hayner's ex, and his reason for taking his life, amongst other things.
A vein was twitching just over Axel's temple as he glares at me, fists clenched.
"So go ahead and hate me," he said only slightly softer, "I don't care anymore."
My own fists tightened, and I ran at him full speed, pushing him hard into the way.
"You're stupid!"
He let me pin him there, and avoided my burning gaze.
"You do care, but you think you're too tough to admit it!"
"I'm so flattered!"
I pushed him against the wall again.
"Listen!"
He said nothing, so I continued.
"Hayner was my best friend, and yeah, it hurts! But it hurts more when you're not around! It's you who's killing us tearing us up inside!"
"Roxas-"
"No! Shut up! I'm not going to let you do this to us! If you're too proud to say it, then I will! I love you, and that's never going to change!"
Tears rapidly fell down my face, and I spoke through my sobs.
"Love is forever, Axel, and I want forever with you!"
My arms dropped to my sides, and I couldn't contain my emotions any longer.
Long, strong arms wrapped around me, pulling me close to a warm body. I cried into his obscene hoodie, and felt Axel place his chin on my forehead. He cooed to me and shushed my sobs until they slowly died down. I tugged the fabric, unwilling to let go.
"Roxas," he softly whispered to me, "I love you, despite everything that's happened. Don't ever forget that."
My cheeks were still stained red when he pulled away slightly, to lift my chin so that I was looking into bright green eyes.
"I love you..." he whispered, before pressing his lips to mine.
Flames crept over my lips, and ran through the rest of my body. I stood on my tip toes, wrapping my arms around him tightly and let the passion flow through me.
It was like my life depended on this kiss, and my heart raced, as our tongues collided. It was like we were exploring each other's mouths for the first time, determined to memorize them. Still, it was not enough to satisfy the feeling in my chest. Before I knew it, I had dragged him to the station, and we were outside his apartment building.
We made out way up the stairs, constantly crashing into walls as our kiss developed further, hands exploring each other's bodies underneath our clothes.
He hoisted me up, and I wrapped my legs around his waist as he carried me up the stairs with ease, our kiss never ending.
Soon, I felt my back pressed hard against the door to the apartment, and heard Axel fumbling for his keys. The door flew open, and we stumbled inside, mouths never parting.
Axel kicked the door clothes and we soon fell on to the bed, quickly disposing of our clothes.
When we were naked, I felt Axel's hand slowly run down my chest, and to the length it found between my legs.
I moaned as he stroked it lightly, teasingly, before a wet finger penetrated me.
I groaned into our kiss, before Axel moved down to suck on and bite at my tender neck.
A few moments passed before I asked for another finger. I shuddered with delight when he granted my request, and felt my fingers claw at his back as he left wet kisses across my chest and stomache.
A third finger came and I gasped in slight pain, until I felt a warm wet mouth on my member. My body shivered, and I couldn't stop myself from moving my hips in rhythm with his motions.
My sounds of pleasure seemed to ignite the fire within Axel, as he quickened his pace.
"I-I'm... ready..." I finally managed to say, and Axel moved up to kiss my lips.
I felt him slip inside me, and my back arched with the bond of flame. He took my arousal in his hand, mirroring his hip movements with it.
It felt like my body was aflame with passion as Axel and I made love, and soon I orgasmed with a loud moan.
My climax was enough to send Axel over the edge as well, and he groaned before leaving a soft kiss on my neck and pulling himself out of me.
--------------
Let no man say that make-up sex isn't amazing.
I rolled onto my side, unable to hide my affections for the blonde, displayed so obviously in my eyes.
His eyes returned to emotion, consumed by his afterglow. I took his hand, sitting up.
"Let's get cleaned up."
The two of us go in my small shower, with much laughter, slipping, and falling on each other as we washed.
Yes, this was heaven.
I poured some shampoo into my palms, and lathered it between my hands. I pushed my hands through my boyfriend's wildly spikey blonde locks, massaging it in as he laughed.
"You're spoiling me, Axel!" he said, as we continued to was each other's bodies.
When we finished, I wrapped a towel over his shoulders, and my own around my waist. I picked him up, and carried him out, laying him gently on the bed. However, he wrapped his arms around my neck tightly, and pulled me down with him.
I laughed and planted a kiss on his forehead, rolling onto my back. He rested his arms across my stomach, and laid his head down on them.
"Axel?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm not mad. About, y'know..."
I grinned and ruffled his wet hair.
"I'm glad."
He pulled himself up to rest his head on my shoulder, and I placed my arm around him.
"Axel, we're going to have forever, right?"
"Forever."
"I love you."
"I love you too, Roxas."
I pulled the sheets over us, and fell into the best sleep I'd had in my life.
Author's note: That would make a really lovely ending to this story, but unfourtunately the main problem is still not solved, so you'll have to put up with my writing for even longer! Mwahaha! Ok, so you probablt don't mind.
Anyway, I'm holding Roxas hostage, and if you don't review, I'll pump him full of this straight shot::Holds out shot::
Roxas: D: Get this crazy chick away from me!
