Story Notes: SLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobodies Loveletter
He was blushing like mad. He could feel his face slowly turning red, heat flushing in his cheeks. Having those beautiful emerald eyes upon his almost naked body, roaming the expanse of creamy tanned skin that was revealed to him scared and excited him, causing his head to spin and make his knees feel weak.
It was a dizzying, head spinning feeling.
It made him feel sick.
"Stop staring," Roxas muttered, staring down at his feet, toes curling in the carpet. Hands rose to his chest, squirming on the spot. "Its embarrassing"
He'd never thought that something like this would affect him so immensely. But the more he thought about it, the more it made him feel strange, but the more he liked the feeling of another male's eyes upon his body. He liked it even more that they were Axel's eyes that were searching every inch of his form.
Axel grinned, walking in deeper in the room. Dropping the clothes he'd picked out on the bed as he passed it, he continued on until he was standing right infront of the spiky blond in nothing more than his towel. "What's there to be embarrassed about?" he asked leaning in closer so that their faces were just inches apart. "Your beautiful, I can't not look at you"
Roxas could feel the red head's warm breath on his face, mainly on a part of his face that parted slightly, his mind begging for those kissable lips that the other had to press against his own lips that he kept wetting with the tip of his tongue. Head tilted to try and bring them every closer, but he was still hesitant and keeping back.
Axel's head was spinning, hands slipping around the waist of the younger male and resting upon his hips. Fingers dared to touch the bare flesh to test if it was as satiny smooth as it looked. He was pleased at the tingles his fingers received and the way Roxas' skin responded to his touch. He wanted to kiss the other, hard and deep, diving his tongue into the warm cavern of Roxas' mouth. Their noses were touching now, eyes heavy lidded while he focused on those lips he desired. Barely centimetres away, the warm, ragged breath of the other teenager brushing over his lips.
Blue eyes were closed, mind practically begging Axel to hurry up. There were feather light touches sending bolts of electricity racing up and down his spine. Blood was rushing through his ears, he could practically hear his heart thumping. He felt sick, but not violently. It was a strange kind that just made him feel wonderful. Lips mouthed the words 'kiss me' because his voice had upped and left him long ago.
It was a request he could never deny. The distance was closed and lips met.
"Mom says that breakfast is.." the voice was cut short at the scene before him. "Er, should I come back?"
Lips had touched for barely a few second, but for the pair engaged within it had felt like an eternity that just wasn't long enough. Pulling away from Roxas, Axel spun around, his red hair flowing with the sudden movement of his body.
Roxas' knees finally gave and he had to reach out to grab Axel's thin arm to help keep himself upright. His face was exceptionally red and his hold on reality was somewhere in space right about now.
"Don't you ever knock Gumdrop?" Axel asked, almost glaring at Sora. Having Roxas holding onto him for support made him smile; he'd managed to affect Roxas and it kept him from getting irritated at Sora.
Sora stuck out his tongue. "Well I didn't know you two were going to be tonsil tasting. Mom made you extra, Axel and you have to eat it" Arms folded across his chest and he remained in the doorway. "And you better hurry because she's taking us to school"
"Woohoo..." Axel said, sounding rather unenthusiastic. He'd rather have Roxas for breakfast instead of extra bacon and eggs.
"I'll be be done in a minute Sora" Roxas said, moving away from Axel and pulling on and zipping it up, hiding his bare skin from prying eyes. He moved away from Axel and began pulling on the rest of his clothes, skilfully pulling on a pair of boxers while keeping his towel on.
With a nod, Sora headed off, complete with his thundering footsteps down the stairs and left the pair alone in Roxas' room. The blond was nearly dressed by now, he was pulling on his short sleeved jacket. The towel was gone and his pants were on. As he pulled on a chequered wristband he looked over at Axel who was also getting ready.
"Look...About what happened..." he began, but unsure of where to go with it.
Axel smiled and patted the blond on the shoulder. He'd seen a new part of Roxas, and he liked it. But there was still Zell in the picture. He wanted to get under Roxas' skin and so far he'd only managed to make that skin respond to his touch. "Look, we'll go in your own time, okay? I'm sorry I rushed you"
Roxas didn't feel rushed at all. But he didn't want to dive into a relationship with anyone yet. Especially Axel. He was still confused with himself, he needed time. He smiled at the red head. "Hurry up or your food will get cold"

Usually Elra didn't drop off Roxas at school, but she'd taken all three of the boys to school that morning. She'd kissed and hugged her son and nephew good bye, and even Axel allowed her to give him a big, comforting hug.
Then Axel found out just how different the cousins were. They went their separate ways to meet up with their friends, leaving him alone to find someone to skulk around with till the first period. Lounging around on the front stone steps of the school, smouldering cigarette in his right hand, green eyes wandered to seek out someone he knew.
What he found was gumdrops and rainbows. Bench on the lawns at the front of the school, the gumdrop happily sitting in the rainbow's lap. That red headed girl; Kairi, was also with them making something with string and beads.
Something landed behind him. Tilting his head back, a pair of mismatched eyes came into his view.
"You kissed Roxas!" it said, blonde bangs hanging infront of her face. "Sora told me! Said you were smooching in his room!" It giggled.
Oh God.
Gumdrop had a double.
And it was female.
"Gossip gets around quick I see," Axel said, slumping forwards again and taking a long drag of his cigarette. "Is there anything I can do for you miss?"
She flopped down beside him, beaming happily. "So is Roxas really gay?" she asked, waving a hand to try and disperse the smoke from Axel's cigarette.
Redhead shrugged. "Who are you to be asking things like that?" he asked her, avoiding her question completely.
Her hands met and she grinned happily as if some switch had gone off in her brain. "Roxas is so cute! Oh I think this is so cool!" As if making herself a match-maker, she quickly stood up and looked down at Axel, her face lit up. "I'm Leila and Roxas and you are going to be such a cute couple!" Turning on her heel and bouncing down the rest of the steps, the girl ran over to the gumdrop group and sat down next to Kairi and began talking animatedly with her.
Axel sighed heavily and felt like hitting his head against the stone steps.
Rumours got around the school just too damned fast these days. He'd rather have another pummelling from Lexaeus than have some hyperactive female with odd eyes acting as a matchmaker and ruining the plan he had going already with Zell.
Speaking of hyperactive people, were they taking over the world or something? They all seemed to be finding a way into his life.
He needed Vexen right about now, with another boring tale of how the reaction between sodium and chloride is a wonderful thing.

English homework wasn't due in for another week, but the teacher was curious about what the students had already compiled so far, so she had them all standing infront of the class and reading out what they had already written.
And it was Roxas' turn.
He hadn't written much, but what he had written he didn't like. Nothing was fitting the way he wanted it. Eyes drifted over the words scribbled onto the paper and he sighed. Now or never though, the whole class was waiting and most seemed to be getting highly bored.
"Dear you,
I don't know if you'll ever have chance to read this, but you know who you are even if I don't. Your someone I know, but I don't know you. Your name, how you smell or even the colour of your hair are lost to me. I see you everyday, but I've never once met you, so I'm writing this letter to you; my personal nobody and telling you everything I feel towards you.
I suppose I'll start with the fact I hate you. I can feel it in my bones, that deeper inner feeling that I used to despise you."
Roxas sighed and lowered his paper. "I'm sorry, that's all I have..." he admitted in a defeated manner. He had tried so hard that night to write more, but it was just too hard for him. There was something missing.
Mrs.Kramer smiled. "Its coming along well Roxas," she said, waving her hand to say he was dismissed. "I can really feel the effort your putting into this letter. Whoever it is intended for is a very lucky person"
Swallowing the lump in his throat, Roxas headed to his seat. As he sat down, blue eyes focused on his homework, Olette leaned forwards, grinning brightly. "Wow Roxas, that was really moving," she said, patting his shoulder.
"Its not right yet," Roxas replied, pushing the paper into his homework folder. "I don't have the right person in mind to write it to. I know I want to write it to them, but I don't know who I want to read it"
The girl smiled sweetly. "Maybe you should give it to Axel" came her knowing voice as she picked up her own work and made the journey to the front of the class. It wasn't a question, she had heard the rumour that Roxas had been caught in the arms of the red head that most of the school disliked. Even Roxas despised him once...
Roxas stared at her. "What?" he said to himself, confused about why she had suggested that he give the letter to Axel.
She didn't know did she?

"Sora!" came a shout across the school yard. Loud and angry, it was followed by the sound of someone running full pelt towards the spiky haired brunet. He was quickly tackled by his cousin, the pair tumbling down on the grass. "You told! You told people!" he growled, feeling as if he wanted to punch his cousin. "How could you tell people!? Who else knows?"
Under the barrage of questions and the threat of imminent attack from his cousin, Sora cowered slightly, arms covering his face. "I-I only told Kairi and Leila!"
Roxas didn't believe him. Shifting his position so that he was on Sora's stomach, legs straddling him, keeping the other teen pinned to the ground; he glared down at him. "And...?"
"R-Riku?"
"And...?"
"That's all Roxas! I swear!"
Roxas sighed, shifting his weight from the other boy and rolling over onto his back on the grass next to him. "How come Olette knows?" he asked, blue eyes looking over at the brunet.
Sora shrugged. "Maybe Kairi told her? I don't know. I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted it kept a secret. You looked like you were enjoying it," admitted the youth.
There was a sigh from Roxas and he stared up at the sky, thinking about the amazing, yet oh-so brief kiss Axel and he had shared that morning in his room. He'd wanted it so badly as the redhead loomed over him, but now he was feeling a little embarrassed about it all. If Olette knew, then most likely the rest of his friends knew. It was the last break of the day; which meant by now almost all of the school knew. By the end of the next two classes, students in Balamb Garden High would know. Naminé would most likely find out; she'd probably tell her father, who would then tell his aunt.
It would come back to him; who knew what Elra would say if she found out that her nephew and the teenager she'd taken in had kissed in her house; and she'd found out through her boyfriend? Roxas shuddered at the thought. Would she really be mad at him though? She was the one encouraging him to find himself in the first place.
Maybe she wouldn't be too mad at him.
"Any reason why you two are lying in the grass?" came a voice from up above. Aquamarine eyes and silver hair soon blocked out Roxas' view of the blue sky above.
"Riku!" Sora said gleefully, sitting himself up and grinning like a Cheshire Cat at the older teen. "We were just talking"
"About?" asked the platinum blond as he sat himself down next to his Sora, returning the blue sky, filled with fluffy white clouds to Roxas' view again. "It looked like you two were fighting"
"No need to play dumb Riku," Roxas said, pushing his hands behind his head. "I know you know"
"But Axel!? Really Roxas, you can do so much better than him. I know someone perfect for you. He's dyed his hair pink, and he loves flowers. A real sweetheart, not a cold hearted bastard like that Axel. Maybe I can introduce you two sometime?"
The blond shook his head. "Sorry Riku, but I think I'll decline"
"Suit yourself," Riku said, sighing softly. An arm wrapped around Sora's waist and pulled the brunet closer to him, Sora quickly snuggling into his side.
A grin formed on his lips. The redhead was right. They were very much in a world of gumdrops and rainbows, and they didn't care who knew.
And here he was getting all worked up about the fact the people knew that Axel and himself had shared one simple kiss.
Blue eyes looked over at his cousin and boyfriend, a slight pang of jealousy forming in his chest. He wanted what they had; hugs, cuddles and kisses, neither caring who knew or saw them. They were completely themselves around each other, with nothing to hide. He wanted to be able to sit with someone on a warm sunny day like today, the pair of them cuddling on the grass; sweet kisses shared between them here and there.
The Nobody in his mind agreed.
The emerald eyes burned brightly within his mind and even though he was laying down, Roxas felt that if he stood up his knees would buckle beneath him, causing him to come crashing down. There was the feeling of warmth pressed against him, and Roxas slipped a hand over his chest just to make sure that there was no one there. Eyes closed as a shadowy figure appeared in his mind with those amazingly bright green eyes.
He could see the slender body shape of the black figure. They were taller than Roxas himself, but still lacked a face.
Lacked a name.
"Axel!"
Was that their name? Was this Nobody in his mind Axel?"
"Gumdrop! Hey there!"
Roxas' eyes flew open, and the green eyes within his mind were right there infront of him, looking down into his own. There was a face, with a smile upon his lips. Mouth tried to find words, but they just seemed stuck in his throat with his heart. Swallowing against the lump, he tried again. Again, he failed.
"What brings you here?" Riku asked, regarding the tall redhead sceptically.
Axel grinned, opening his arms in a gesture of peace, the smoke from the cigarette in his right hand drifting with the swift movements "A friend of yours appears to of been helping a rumour get around the school" he said. "I also know for a fact that you, Gumdrop, are the one that gave them such delicate information"
Sora blushed softly. "Like I said to Roxas, I didn't know you wanted to keep it secret"
The red head placed the white stick between his lips and sat himself down on the grass next to Roxas whom was still laying on his back. Removing it and blowing out the smoke, he shrugged. "I just got beaten up a few days ago. I'd rather not give Lexaeus another reason to punch me in the face. Got it memorized?"
Sora nodded swiftly. "I get it. Keep it secret."
"Plus, Rikku most likely knows now. Which means her brother knows. Which means I'll have a jealous guy on my hands"
Roxas nearly choked on his own thoughts. Did Axel just insinuate that Zell and himself were something of a couple? His heart dropped from his throat and felt like stone in his chest now. Blue eyes looked to the smoker. "Your going out with him?"
There was a shrug while he took another drag. "In a way..." he said simply. "But there's this other guy I really, really like. I'm not sure he likes me though. I mean, he left me before, so I'm playing it safe this time so I don't end up hurt"
"That sounds so stupid!" Sora announced.
"He's playing the odds, Sora," Riku explained, ruffling Sora's hair affectionately. "Your still a heartless bastard, but your a smart heartless bastard"
Sora glared up at his boyfriend. "Your agreeing with him!?"
Riku smirked down at the cute, pouting face. "He's been dumped by this one guy before by the sounds of it, but he's wanted back. Who's to say it won't happen again? So, to be safe, Axel has a back-up plan."
Sora was still pouting, folding his arms across his chest. "But my cousin is the back-up plan!"

Author's Notes: I do apologise for taking soooooooo long with this chapter. I would like to thank my friend Roxas from TUL for helping me! Also, Leila belongs to Roxas, not me. I do hope I've got her right...
Riku: Yay! Lots of Riku-ness!
Also, dare I do it? A blind date with Roxas and this person that Riku suggested? (If you know your Kingdom Hearts characters, you should know the Flower Power guy...)
Again, apologies for taking so long. I've been playing KH2 to try and get myself back in the swing of things. Who else besides me thinks that Saïx has a rather sexy voice? Also, who else besides me purposely dies just to play as King Mickey?
No?
-shifty look- Me neither...Heheh...
I adore all your reviews! And I love you all too!
