Chapter 4: Moving Day

"Roxas, could you bring that box over here please?"

"Sure" I grumbled, trying to keep my annoyance and agitation too myself.

I had been fearing this day for most of the week. Moving day. The day when Reno and Axel would finally be moving in with us. Mom and Reno weren't married yet, but they decided that it would be easier to move in first, just to get that part out of the way. I thought it was pretty stupid, but hey, who listens to me?

It had been nearly two weeks since I first met Axel, and this was one of the days I had been fearing the most. I had tried to avoid him as much as possible these past few days, but it was getting harder and harder. Little did I know my situation was about to get a hell of a lot worse.

"Roxas, could you come here for a minute please?"

I could tell from the way mom was speaking to me that I wasn't going to like what she had to tell me.

"What's up mom?"

She cleared her throat, obviously not wanting to tell me what was going on.

"Well honey, we have a little problem."

"What is it?"

"Well, I know I told you that Axel would be staying in the guest room, but because I've been so busy with wedding plans, I haven't had time to clean out the guest bedroom. So he's going to have to stay in your room for awhile, just until we get the spare bedroom cleaned out."

It took awhile for all of this to sink in, and when it did I had to control myself so I wouldn't start killing things.

"That's fine."

I noticed the edge in my voice, and hoped my mom didn't notice. Which she didn't seem to.

"That's great honey! Thanks so much for being so understanding!"

I just smiled back at her, afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would say something I'd regret later. After our little talk, I went back to bringing boxes out of the moving van. I never knew two men could have so much crap! We had already been unloading for nearly two hours, and we were only about halfway done. I failed to see how all their shit would fit in our house, but I choose not to think about it any longer. Instead, I decided now would be a good time to take a break, so I went over and sat down next to the tree in our front yard, thankful for the shade it provided.

It was a fairly hot day out, and it was only going to get hotter. I sighed and closed my eyes, and leaned against the tree, trying my hardest to relax. I was close to actually falling asleep when a voice broke through my thoughts.

"C'mon Roxy, get your lazy ass up and help the rest of us."

I groaned inwardly, knowing who the voice belonged to.

"Why don't you just fu-"

the words died on my tongue as I opened my eyes and found Axel standing in front of me. Shirtless. I sat there not knowing what to say, somehow mesmerized by the pale, slightly muscular chest and abdomen.

Oh my god

I blushed and looked away, hoping Axel didn't notice my staring. Which, thankfully, he didn't.

"I'll be right there." I mumbled.

He nodded and then walked off, giving me a good look at his backside, which was just as perfectly formed as the front side. I watched him walk away, realizing that I enjoyed looking at a shirtless Axel.

What the fuck is wrong with me?! Do I think Axel is...attractive?

I had no answer for myself, and that was starting to piss me off. I decided that it would be best to just try and avoid Axel for the rest of the day, so I had some time to sort my thoughts out.

XxxX

This day was not turning out well for me, after I had finished my 'break' mom called me over for some lunch, and then it was back to work, and guess who I was stuck with?

"Roxy, hand me that box would ya?"

I sighed and did as Axel told me to. So much for my avoiding plan. Axel and I were currently in our room sorting everything out. And being alone with him was not helping my thought process. So here I was, trying not to look at Axel's still shirtless body and still trying to be nice to him. It was difficult, and he wasn't helping matters with his normal, cocky attitude.

"So, where were you this morning anyway?" I asked him, trying to distract myself.

"I was at the apartment, sorting things out."

"And you're shirtless because?"

"The air-conditioning in there was shut off, so it was nearly 95 degress. Why do you ask? Does my sexy body bother you."

"Not at all, I was just wondering if you were trying to impress someone, like the girls on the block for example."

He smirked, "no girls. Just you Roxy."

I nearly dropped the box I was holding at his last comment, and tried miserably to hide my blush.

"Perv."

"That hurts Roxy, that hurts."

I threw a pillow at him, and he laughed, throwing it back at me. This continued for a few minutes until it hit me that I was actually enjoying myself again.And then things went back to being extremely awkward, for me that is. Axel never seemed to be at ill at ease. He always seemed to take things in stride. I wished I could be like that.

"What's wrong Roxy? You look like something is bothering you."

His voice snapped me from my reverie, and I carefully composed my face, twisting it into something I hoped looked like innocence.

"Nothing is wrong. I'm fine."

He raised his eyebrows at me, but said nothing. After that, we went back to getting the room set up, and didn't say much else to each other, it was still awkward, but as long as I didn't have to look at Axel, it was fine. For now at least.

XxxX

"Well, today went well. Don't you all think so?" My mom asked.

Reno, Axel, and I all nodded, too tired to form coherent sentences. We had finally finished all the unpacking around five, and we were now enjoying a wonderful meal of take-out. My mom sighed and resumed eating, tired of trying to get us to talk to one another. Personally, I wanted nothing more than to go upstairs and sleep.

"Mom, I'm tired, so I think I'm going to go upstairs and crash ok?"

"Alright honey. Have a good night."

I smiled at her then headed upstairs, glad she let me go so easy. I changed out of my dirty, sweaty clothes and put on my favorite pair of sweat pants. Then crawled into bed, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

XxxX

the sound of the door creaking open somehow woke me from my deep slumber, and I had to hold back a groan and a string of profanities, realizing that it must be my new roommate come to bed at last. I heard the soft scuffing of feet on the hard wood floor, and then the groan of the mattress as weight was put on it. I heard him sigh once, and then he was out like a light.

I stayed awake for a little longer after that, having difficulty getting back to sleep. I had always had a room to myself, and sharing it with someone I hardly knew was stressful. I sat up in bed and looked over at Axel, my heart skipping a beat as I did. Even with the lights turned off in the room, the faint moonlight coming through the window above my bed gave enough light to see Axel's face, and he looked peaceful, completely at ease. I realized I had never actually seen him like this before, and it startled me when I reacted the way I did. I stared at him a bit longer, watching his chest rise and fall, watching his perfectly relaxed face. I didn't want to look away, but sleep got the best of me, and as I finally fell back into bed, only one thought was going trough my head.

Axel, what are you doing to me?

XxxX
