Spontaneous Combustion – A collection of Axel x Roxas drabbles and one shots

By Tat

Theme 8. It's just a dream

A content sigh leaves Roxas's parted lips. His eyes are closed, his body squirming. He's completely trapped in the throes of sleep, unaware that what he's experiencing isn't real.

He thinks there is a pair of strong hands slick with salve massaging his back. The medicine cools and tingles on the fresh burns, and he basks in the pleasant sensation, no longer caring about who gave him these wounds.

The bed creaks as he shifts, arranging himself so he can lie in the redhead's lap. He catches a glimpse of an amused smile, and knows exactly what is running across the man's mind. This person likes to teases him for being cat-like. Reinforcing this, the man gently rubs the back of his hand under Roxas' chin, and just as a cat does he raises his head and presses into the touch encouragingly.

"That feels good," he whispers, and dreams that he is sleeping.
