Wow It's been a while… hello again. First and foremost, I have no copyright infringement intentions. This fanfiction is rated M for mature. But who really follows those rules nowadays?

Chapter 2: Pyrophilia

Riku swallowed roughly, his breathing shallow, as he thought to himself, "Dear god, he's going to kill me…"

Two hours. Two fucking hours. That's how long Riku had been stalling. Each minute that ticked by, Riku realized he'd been getting more and more nervous. The twenty minute long drive over to Axel's house had been full of anticipation and electricity. After all, Riku was getting picked up by a charismatic stranger with a gorgeous physique. Wouldn't anyone get an adrenaline rush? That feeling lasted for about an entirety of five minutes past when he'd walked through Axel's door. Then, Riku was pretty sure his awkwardness killed the mood.

It didn't help that Axel had left out some minor details before whisking Riku off to La-La-Land. For starters, the fact that Axel was fucking loaded up to his ears with money. He had to be to afford his living arrangements. Those arrangements consisted of, as Axel put it, "a lovely little place on the outskirts of town." And by that, he meant, a fucking condo filled with expensive niceties on his own private stretch of beach.

Riku felt completely out of place, almost too ordinary to exist in a place like this. How could someone be bless with good looks, charisma, and money? That only ever happened for movie stars and famous musicians. Riku groaned inwardly, "What if he's famous? Could he really be that perfect?"

So, of course, Riku tried to find a way out of this before things got even worse. He didn't want to become the next Kim Kardashian, or even worse, just be a play toy for some rich asshole to abuse. He stalled, talking with Axel about stupid things like what his favorite color was (red, obviously), or how long he'd lived in the area (Oh great, he was a newcomer). Unfortunately, this awkward small talk strategy was having the opposite effect of what Riku had expected. Instead of turning the redhead off, this small talk merely fascinated Axel, making Riku seem more interesting. So what did Axel do? Keep Riku talking. He asked questions about Riku's life, little intricacies like where he'd come from, what he'd done in the last year, and, of course, if he had a special someone. This last question threw Riku off. Didn't Axel pick him up with the intentions of at least a one-night stand? Why would he care? Should he care? More importantly, should Riku answer? This led to awkward stuttering on Riku's behalf as he fell silent, at a loss for words.

Axel chuckled at this response, finding Riku incredibly adorable when confused. "Come on. I know you've got something to say in there somewhere." Axel smirked, placing a hand on Riku's thigh, causing Riku to flush with bright red color.

"I had expected someone tonight…" Riku's voice betrayed his reluctance to speak on the matter, "But… no. No one special…"

Axel's eyebrows shot upwards in surprise, "No one? So… You're available…?" Axel tried to contain the curiosity and genuine interest he felt towards the silverette. He'd never met anyone like him… and honestly, Axel was getting kind of lonely these days.

"Uh, define 'available', please." Riku laughed, "Are you asking if I'm single? Or if I'm interested in dating? Because those are two very different things."

"I suppose I'm asking both questions." Axel shook his head and smiled softly, "Are you?"

Riku bit his lip, thinking for a moment. Was tonight considered a date? They were alone together with some obvious not-so-innocent intentions. He sighed softly, supposing it could be considered a date after all. He nodded, "Yeah. Sure."

Axel grinned, obviously pleased by that answer, "Then, would you do me the honor of a second date if this goes well?"

Riku consented with a nod, "Sure. Why not? I mean, you are kind of a dream guy." He grinned playfully, but there was some truth to that admission. Axel seemed more and more perfect by the minute. There had to be a catch.

"Then… do I have permission to kiss you?" Axel inched closer to Riku in the loveseat they'd been sharing since arriving on the front doorstep, the cinnamon-smoke scent of Axel washing over Riku like a sweet cologne. That smell was intoxicating… and only Axel smelled that way. Riku closed his eyes, trying desperately to control his breathing, to no avail. His heartbeat hastened as once again Riku felt that electric feeling. The feeling of wanting. The feeling of need. That's when it hit Riku. That realization of something he didn't want really Axel to notice. Arousal.

"Shit! No, no, no! Back off!"

Riku's eyes snapped open to find Axel centimeters away from his face, an amused smirk on his mouth. Axel had noticed the tightening of Riku's clothing whilst scootching as close as he possibly could without being noticed. The closeness bringing Riku to blush. Again. Axel couldn't help but find that attractive. Plus, knowing he was turning Riku on was quite the ego boost. As if he needed it! Axel licked his lower lip, taking the arousal as permission enough to close the distance between his and Riku's lips.

Much to Riku's chagrin, the electricity tripled from tiny sparks to liquid lightning shooting through his bloodstream. He pressed back against Axel's lips, longing for more contact. More irresistible feeling. He needed to be pressed against Axel entirely that moment. There was no other thoughts on Riku's mind other than figuring out how to get Axel out of those god damned clothes and remain kissing, the shyness was now completely absent from Riku's actions. The taste of Axel was even better than the way he smelled, a fact which was serving to drive Riku up the wall with need. Riku parted his lips ever so slightly to give Axel more access, the redhead happily obliging and sucking on Riku's tongue gently. Somehow, the two managed to separate long enough to rip each other's clothes off and toss them in the corner in the room, completely forsaken.

Axel pulled Riku to his feet, only to have the male attack him with another lustful kiss. Axel knew they needed the lube that was carefully concealed in his bedroom's underwear drawer to continue the fun. The only problem was getting Riku to behave long enough to actually reach the bedroom. The make-out session going on wasn't going to end anytime soon, so, Axel pinned Riku to the wall for a moment, kissing Riku deeply, exploring every inch of that wonderful mouth. This drew a moan from Riku, who pressed his body flush up against Axel's and wrapped his thighs around the dominate man's waist. Axel took advantage of this position, gripping Riku tightly and managing to struggle his way into the bedroom, where he then tossed Riku onto the mattress and climbed on top of him. He pillaged Riku's mouth again before sitting up and digging through the dresser drawer with the lube hidden inside. Axel looked over to find Riku propped up on his elbows, watching intently with eyes darkened with lust.

"I want you." Riku spoke, voice rough and low, practically sounding like a growl.

Axel gave Riku a toe-curling smirk, causing the silver male's insides to twist into funny little knots, "Get on your knees then." Axel popped open the lube's top as he spoke, coating his fingers with the slick substance.

This was going to be a long night.
