ABOUT THIS CHAPTER: In my own opinion, I think this chapter is absolute love.3 Roxas inside Axel's home? Really, how could you have any more fun?8D
The writing style is becoming better and more solid now, since I've made my decision on how I want it to be.
I apologize for it being so short though, but I explain in the AN at the bottom why I cut it off where I did.:x
Anyway, I'll stop going on…enjoy! Review if you like.:3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly pulling to a stop in front of an old, small, beat up looking house, the redhead look on cheerfully. "Here we are!" he smiled, turning to the blond who stared blankly, almost looking upset at the looming building.
Doing a double take, looking between the familiar building and the smaller boy, the redhead's smile faded. "What..?" he asked, waiting to find out the reason for the dreadful looks.
"You live…here?" the blond asked meekly.
"Yep, is something wrong with it?"
"No.." The blond shook his head, giving a sympathetic look as he realized, looking up at the dead house, that Axel must live alone. "You live alone?" he asked sullenly to confirm his suspicions.
"Yea. Is there anything wrong with that?" he asked, studying the other boys almost terrified expression, "Don't worry. I'm not going to rape you once I get you to go inside or anything." he snickered, half serious.
Eyes widening, Roxas gave the taller boy a playful shove, "I wasn't worried about that!" he yelled, "but now that you bring it up, I'm starting to feel a little nervous." he joked, sarcastically, unsure of if he really should be worried.
Axel walked up the stairs, turning to look at Roxas, all signs of sorrow or worry replaced with a half smile. "Come on!" he coaxed for the smaller boy to follow, as he reached into his pocket, pulling out a small key, shoving it into the small slot above the handle, turning it, and finally swinging the door open, throwing the umbrella on the floor by the entrance.
The house was dark and cool, but warmer than the biting air outside. Roxas walked in hesitantly, the other boy eyeing him pleasantly. "What? Do I have something on my face?" Roxas snarled.
"Hm?" Axel replied gently, a slight look of confusion rushing over his face.
"You keep staring at me." he explained.
"Oh," the redhead, smiling slightly, responded smoothly, "that's just because your so cute." he leaned back, closing the door behind them and switching the light on simultaneously, still looking the boy up and down, "Mm-Mm! And your looking even cuter in better light!" he exclaimed, leaning his head in toward the boy's, eyes and features smug.
Roxas shifted back a little, unsure of what to say, a little nervous, feeling violated by the other's wandering eyes. "Are you some kind of pedophile?" he finally asked, leaning toward the door, as if ready to bolt out of it if necessary.
A laugh escaping his lips, Axel tilted his head up, hands going to his hips. "I don't think so," he started "I wouldn't call it being a pedophile if I'm chasing after someone only three years younger than me." Chuckling more, he continued, "A pervert…maybe. A pedophile? Never." He reached out, looking at the blond again, swaying his arms in numerous patterns with his words, " 'sides, I don't know about you, but I always kinda pictured a forty year old man chasing after a five or eight year old boy when I think of a pedophile."
"Oh? Your chasing after me?" Roxas cut in, raising an eyebrow to the redhead, who calmly thought for less than a moment before answering.
"No. Not exactly. I was just making a point." The blond looked almost upset for a moment, "I was more admiring; I'm a friendly guy, ya know?"
Roxas shifted, fidgeting slightly, "Oh, of course." he said modestly.
"Why don't you wait here for a minute?" Axel ordered, disappearing into the hall. Roxas obeyed, taking the moment to examine the living room.
The couch was a greenish brown color, it didn't look very pleasing, but, leaning down gently touching it deciding whether or not he should sit down, he found it was incredibly soft. He plopped down, peering around the rest of the room.
The walls were bare, not a single picture hung or placed anywhere in sight. An old beat up TV sat across from him on a rickety little stand, looking as if the stand would collapse under the weight at any given moment. The coffee table in front of him bore several empty beer cans and a cigarette tray. Leaning forward, Roxas fiddled with one of the empty cans.
"Hey!" The redhead called from the other room, startling Roxas, "Roxie! Come in here!"
The blond jumped up quickly and started down the hall, attempting to follow the sound of the other boy's voice. Stopping mid-hallway, unsure of where he was headed, "Where is 'here'?" he called back, standing still, awaiting the other boy's response.
"Here, in my room. The door on the left." he called back a moment later.
"Oh god." the blond muttered, stopping in front of the door he was sure the redhead was on the other side of. Taking a deep breath, he extended his arm out, reaching for the knob, pushing the door open - half expecting to walk in on a naked Axel or something of the sort.
To his surprise, Axel was fully clothed, but then, to his dismay,
"Get undressed." Axel demanded.
Flustered and blushing, Roxas stuttered out a response, "Eh-Excuse me? Why…would I - uhh..?" His body tensed.
Axel let out a small laugh, making the blond jump in more nervous tension. "Relax!" The taller boy chuckled, "I already told you I wasn't going to try to rape you, didn't I?" he asked, sounding as though he wasn't entirely sure if he actually really had.
He walked closer to the blond, stopping at his bed, pulling up a set of clothes, presenting them to the other boy. "I just thought you might appreciate some dry clothes, is all." he shrugged, "If you don't want them, it's cool, but you got pretty soaked out there…so I just thought.." He rolled his head around to stare at the blond, eyes hopeful.
Roxas, for the first time, took a second to really study the other boy beyond his eye catching, ridiculous hair. He hadn't noticed…how green his eyes were. They were…really pretty. Shifting his gaze slightly, he noticed two purple tattoos, one under each of his green eyes. They were strange, to say the least, almost like purple teardrops - or upside down triangles. He wondered why anyone would want such strange tattoos.
"Well?" the green eyed boy swayed the clothes loosely in his grip. "Do you want them or what?"
Startled from his daze, Roxas shook his head slightly, then nodded strongly. "Yea.." he said slowly, "I do. I'm getting really cold in these." he pulled idly at the wet fabric clinging to his stomach.
Pleased, Axel tossed the shirt to the other boy, who stood for several moments staring back at him.
"You…gunna leave?"
Shaking his head, the redhead answered, "Why would I do that? I can't check out your sexy little body if I leave."
Turning red, the blond gave him a flustered look, pouting, crossing his arms to his chest.
"Oh don't act like you weren't checking me out a second ago!" Axel shot, defensive to the glare he was receiving.
"Wha-what?!" The blond, more red than before unsure of how to respond, could think of nothing else to shoot back other than, "I - I wasn't!" shaking his head wildly.
"Sure you weren't.." Axel laughed sarcastically, reluctantly walking towards the hallway, closing the door shut as he left, "the pants are on the bed" he commented before the door clicked, indicating it was completely closed.
Roxas walked lazily over to the bed, letting his arms dangle loosely at his side, barely gripping the shirt Axel had previously thrown at him.
Was Axel always so…perverted? He wondered, peeling the wet shirt from his skin, it sucking reluctantly to him, not desiring to be abandoned. He dropped the wet material to the floor and slowly slid into the new, dry one.
It was a black, long sleeved shirt, soft and smelling strongly of the other boy. Carefully pulling it over his spikes, he guided his arms through the much too long sleeves, and pulled the remaining material bunched up at his chest down to cover his slender stomach.
The shirt clung tightly against his waist and chest, but inches of material hung beyond his reaching fingers. The blond stretched his arms out and carefully bunched the sleeves up, only just slightly letting his hands break free.
He cautiously placed his fingers on the waist of his pants, slowing toward the button in the front, looking hesitantly around the room, he swung back to assure himself the door was still closed and Axel was still outside of it. Feeling reassured, he continued in his actions, unbuttoning and unzipping the sopping jeans, sliding them down, allowing them to hit the floor.
Axel was pretty nice, he concluded in his mind, slipping into the plaid pajama pants he was provided, nodding slightly to himself. And he was kind of funny, too, wasn't he? Even if much of his humor was sexually based.
Roxas stood, momentarily in thought, he wasn't really convinced that Axel really thought he was cute, shrugging slightly, "he must just enjoy joking that way.." he thought to himself, before dismissing the subject that was rolling around in his mind, walking back to the door, gently opening it and heading back to where he came, stopping abruptly when he heard a small crash in the opposite direction. Changing his stride, he followed the noise that filled the air only momentarily, only to stop in front of a door panel to lean in and snicker at the sight.
"What are you doing?"

AN: Okay, I know, this is kind of an awkward place to stop at, isn't it? But, I didn't want to make this chapter too long in comparison to the other, and I had a particular spot I wanted the next chapter to stop at….
SO, here we are. This is what you I apologize once more for the short length.:[
Next chapter will pick off exactly where this one left, so you can just come back and look at the last few lines in this chapter before you read the next one when I post it, if you so please.:3
ANYWAY, the next chapter is my favorite of all the ones I've written so far. It's the last one that I actually have on paper, so I'll start typing it up as soon as I'm done here and I should have it posted tomorrow.^-^ …Unless I'm really lazy or something..v_v'
On a random note, I filled out one of those KH meme things on deviant art, and im pretty excited about how it came out. I lent it to my friend who is going to scan it for me, so as soon as he sends it to me, im going to post it! Can anyone guess who my FAVORITE character is??xD
