Something like Destiny

Hey! I know it's been forever since I had updated. I have no excuses besides writers block and then procrastination.

Warning- yaoi. Don't like dont read.

Disclaimer- Not mine, just the plot.

Fast Forward, Rewind.

About a month had passed since that incident at Destiny Elem.

We still hadn't talked about it, and I don't know if we were ever going to.

Today, we were back at one of the middle schools, teaching the kids about babysitting. Larxene had the day off, and we were both thinking it was for the best. She was, well, not good with the kids.

After various attempts, Axel and I had gotten the girls into the computer lab so they could reasearch 'Baby CPR.' and baby names so that they could name their baby dolls. Of course, the girls all crowd around me and the computer I was at, even though I wasn't looking up that stuff.

I'm such a bad boy, I finally figured out how to get past all the blocks the school had put up, and got on MySpace.

As the girls continued their research, Axel came and sat at the computer next to me.

"Hey, could you show me how to get past those blocks? I need to check my MySpace too." Axel asked me, and somehow without even looking at me. I just rolled my eyes...

"Yeah, sure I can..." And in seconds, I had him in. His eyes caught mine for a second, but then he just turned his gaze back to the computer. Fine, if he wanted to be that way, he could. I'm tired of playing the games...

I was checking my messages, saw that I had two from my Ex, again, and a few from Olette and even one from Namine. I ignored the ones from Riku...knowing if I read them, he would take that as a sign of caring...and I didn't. Olette had just sent me some random comments, and Namine was asking me if I was going to the football game.

Damn. I had forgotten about the football game.

I sent her one back saying of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world. When I switched back to my homepage, I saw that I had an incoming IM.

RedHairedPyro: Can we talk?

Geeze, All who saw that one coming...raise your hand...Now.

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: About?

RedHairedPyro: When I kissed you.

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: -headdesk- 'bout damn time! We were supposed to have this talk about a month ago.

RedHairedPyro: Yeah, about that, I'm sorry, really. I just, I needed some time to think about it...

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: Think about what?! You kissed me! If I had kissed you, I could understand, but I didn't. If anything, I should have been the one who needed to think, becuase you obviously knew what you wanted.

RedHairedPyro: I had a LOT I had to think about! The way you ran away after Larxy caught us kind of threw me off.

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: I ran away becuase you practically MOLESTED me at WORK! Damnit, It would have been fine if it was anywhere else, but AT work? What the hell possesed you to do that?!

RedHairedPyro: Oh, so it would have been fine anywhere else? Rox, really, You want me to answer you on what possesed me? I thought that would be fairly obvious...

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: Don't you dare say it. Don't you even say that I was the one who possesed you. I didn't do ANYTHING to make you even think I was interested in you...how do you even know that I swing that way? I have never once acted in a overtly flirty way towards you, and you have openly flirted with me.

RedHairedPyro: Fine, I won't say it then. And no, you never did act or present yourself as swiging that way, but you answered it on your own. You last line said,"I have never once acted in a overtly flirty way towards you, and you have openly flirted with me." re-read it and see if you get it.

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: I don't see how that answered anything.

RedHairedPyro: You said that you never acted in an overtly flirty way towards me, which, no you haven't. However, you also say that I openly flirted with you. I see nowhere that you state that you tried to stop me or that my advances were unwanted/unwarranted. I think that plainly answers how I knew you were about as straight as a circle.

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: Damn.

RedHairedPyro: Didn't see that loophole did you? -smirks-

WithBrokenWingsImFallin: Again I say, Damn.

Axel chanced a peek over at me, and saw that I was glaring at him. When he noticed that I had stopped glaring and had turned to face the computer, he looked around the room and saw that all the girls had crowded around one computer, leaving us by ourselves in the corner of the room.

With a slight smirk, he leaned over to my ear and whispered into it.

"Hmmmmm, you say 'Damn.' yet I think you mean to say, 'Shit, he caught on.'...Am I right?" I shivered at the breathe that was hitting my ear, sending little shocks of feeling down my spine. Damnit, he caught me... As I looked up, I was startled to see that Axel had leaned over in his seat, and was now placing his face in front of mine. My cobalt orbs locked onto his, and he glanced away for just a second, making sure none of the girls were watching before he locked his eyes back onto mine. With only a slight smirk, he closed the space between us, softly pressing his lips against mine.

My eyes widened at first, shock surely showing in my ocean blue eyes. One of Axel's eyebrows shot up, almost as if asking why I wasn't melting into the kiss like he wanted me to. Slowly, my eyes fluttered shut as my body reacted to his touch. He drew a hand down my arm, sending more shivers racing down my spine. Growing a bit bold, I slid my tongue along his bottom lip. I wasn't asking for entrance, nor was I begging for it. Although my body was craving this, we were at work, in the library, with girls all around us.

Hearing hushed whispers, I pulled away (relunctantly, albeit) and turned my head towards the computers where the girls were sitting at. I glanced back at Axel, and saw that he was still sitting there, eyes closed, but now I could see his lips moving and I leaned back just a bit to see if I could hear what he was saying.

"Please don't let them have seen us... I beg of you, do not let the girls have seen us..." He was repeating over and over again, almost like a mantra. I tried not to laugh. I turned back towards the girls just in time to hear the first...

...Squeal?

Holy shit, They were squealing! What the hell had I missed?

Axel looked up when he heard the first squeal.

"Were they kissing? Oh my gosh, that is totally, like the cutest!" One girl whispered excitedly.

"You are such a yaoi lover. Jeeze. You're always writing those fanfictions that pair up all the guys and leave the girls hanging... Although, it is kind of cute. You could totally see the googlie eyes between those two. About time they did something about it..." I could see the slight smile on her face as she said that last part...

I looked over towards Axel, wondering if he had an idea what we should do. One of his eyes opened just a slit, the emerald green orb behind it looking this way and that, almost trying to seek out any invisible teachers that would start yelling at us. I rolled my eyes, 'Useless lump.' I thought as I turned back towards the girls. I was preparing to use my 'teacher' voice when one of the girls called out from the crowd. "Don't worry," Mariah was saying as she made her way towards the front, "We're not gonna tell on you guys. We like ya'll too much. Besides... we can use this later one..." She said as the girls gathered their things and walked out of the door. "Oh yeah, and if anyone does rat," she cracked her knuckles menacingly, "I'll handle it." And with that, they walked back to the front of the school and loaded up the buses.

Axel and I looked at each other, and then looked back at the door where the girls had left. Shock, was an understatement. I think mortified worked well for me, and Axel just looked as if he was going to collapse right then and there. As we made our way to our cars, Axel pulled me aside. "Follow me." I cocked an eyebrow.

"Eh?" Exasperated was a good look for Axel.

"Just, follow me. You'll see." I nodded, trusting him to not take me somewhere and kill me or something like that. So, I got in my car and followed him...

...to his house?

When we got there, I noticed that none of the other guys were home (Their cars were gone), and the house seemed to be clean...for once. As I walked into the hallway, so that Axel could get into the house, I felt his arms go around my waist and pull me to him. My head snapped up, as I hadn't expected that at all.

Hello there. I thought as I let him wrap his arms around me, and when he pulled me closer, I could feel myself blushing. Must not melt... Must not... I repeated in my mind, knowing I shouldn't melt like butter as easy as I was right now. He put his chin on my shoulder, his breath hitting my ear sent little shivers down my spine. "So, do you want to continue from earlier, or would you like to do something else?" Gahhh, it's driving me nuts! it's almost like he knows where it'll get to me. I turned my face just enough to see his, noticing the pouting look he had going.

I pretended to think on it for a few moments, before I tossed him a playful grin, and pecked him on the lips before I took off into the kitchen in search of food. "Wanna cook me something before we do anything else? I'm starving." I called out to Axel as I turned around to face him, only to find that he was standing right behind me. I'll admit it... I jumped a bit. He poked me in the stomach, earning him a jab to the ribs.

"You don't looked starved to me. Just a bit skinny." I scowled at him. He cocked an eyebrow at me... "If I cook you something, will that make you happy?" All I could manage was cute puppydog eyes. No one can resist my puppydog eyes. He sighed, and got out a pan. "What do you want?" Inwardly, I was jumping up and down, rejoicing in my ever faithful usage of the puppydog eyes, outwardly, I walked towards the pantry and looked in.

After about 10 minutes of debating, (More like me picking out something, and him saying no because it took too long.) we finally settled on macaroni and cheese. (Romantic, I know...) He got a pot full of water on the stove and heating up while I went to the living room to wait for him.

He came over to the couch I was on and sat behind me, putting his arms around me to pull me closer. When I was close enough, I settled my head against his chest, feeling more relaxed than I had in a long time. When he spoke, I could feel the reverberations...it gave me little goosebumps on my skin. "You wanna watch a movie?" I nodded, not wanting to talk and possibly ruin a relatively fluffy moment like this one. He got up and walked over towards the t.v., looking at a shelf that housed what looked like upwards of a hundred movies. After naming off a ton of them, we settled on a good, and not to mention long, movie.

As I popped "Phantom of the Opera" into the dvd player, Axel went and checked the water and got the noodles boiling. He came back and sat down as I fought with the dvd player, and finally he took pity on me and came over to help me before I just broke down and killed it. He could only manage a chuckle as he quickly fixed the dvd player, and sat back on the couch, pulling me own to lay against him.

You know, I could really get used to this. I thought as we sat there, watching as the movie started, and I couldn't help but start singing the theme song. It was a favorite of mine, and it was addicting. "In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came, that voice which calls to me, and speaks my name. And do I dream again? For now I find... the Phantom of the opera is there, inside my mind." I sang softly, halfway hoping Axel didn't hear me. Not because I wasn't a good singer, but because I was a guy and could hit the notes that Christine was hitting.

"Sing once again with me, our strange duet, my power over you, grows stronger yet. And though you turn from me, to glance behind, the Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind..." I tipped my face towards Axel's. Had he just sang? And like that? Must not melt, must not melt... Wow, that seemed to be more correct than I had ever thought it would be, and harder to do too. He looked down at me, trying not to grin.

"What? You think you're something special 'cause you can sing?" My face flushed, feeling a bit like a small child under his eyes. He watched me as I turned my head, almost burying it into his shoulder. My reply was muffled a bit because of that. He laughed, and that made my head snap up. "Care to repeat that? In english this time?" I tried to glare at him, but failed miserably.

"I said, 'No, not really, just surprised you knew the song." He raised an eyebrow.

"And why would that surprise you?" I shrugged my shoulders, not really knowing how to answer him without either sounding like a dork, or pissing him off. He leaned his head down to mine, looking me in the eye. "Would it surprise you to know that this happens to be my favorite movie? Or even more so, that I know every song on here?" Judging by the look on my face, he figured out that, yes, that would indeed surprise me. He shook his head, and got up to check our food once again. I followed him, wanting to see if there was any soda or anything in the fridge.

Axel was stirring the macaroni as I walked into the kitchen, and, in a moment of boldness, I draped an arm around his waist as I opened the refridgerator door to get me something to drink. I felt one of his hands trace down my arm, and he left it sitting on top of my hand, our fingers slightly intertwined. I stood up, my mission having been accomplished, holding a Mountain Dew in my hand. I moved a step or so over, leaning against Axel, waiting to see if he would do, or say anything. I felt his arms go around me, pulling me into a warm embrace. The little shocks from before had nothing on the indescribabale feeling that I had right now. It was odd, how I had only known him for a few months, and yet, it felt like I had known him forever. In his arms, it just felt right.

He rested his head on mine, and we stood there, in the kitchen for quite a long time. We didn't kiss, we didn't grope each other, we just, stood there. It felt like one of those defining moments, like your first car, your first boyfriend/girlfriend... A moment that you would remember forever.

I felt my eyes closing, relishing in the feeling of being held like this. It had been a long time since I had been hugged like this, a long time since I felt like someone needed me. It felt nice. I didn't want it to end.

Axel looked at the now ruined pot of noodles... "Rox, I don't think we're having macaroni..." His voice broke me out of my silence. I shook my head a bit, knowng the moment had been broken. I smiled, leaving my arms wrapped around him.

"Doesn't matter. I'm fine." He looked at me, almost like he was in shock that I didn't care about the food. I leaned up and caught his lips with mine, just lightly pressing them together enough to call it a kiss. Pulling away, I tugged his hand and we went back to the living room.

He sat on the couch, and then pulled me down as well. After being sure that I was comfortable, he un-paused the movie and wrapped his arms around me, once again conjuring up that indescribable feeling. I settled down into his arms, my head resting on his shoulder, and we watched the rest of the movie. I couldn't help but feel as though that moment in the kitchen had changed both of us, almost like something inside had clicked.
