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

By Tat

Theme 11. Stripes

The set of stripes across Axel's cheek were livid and glowing red. The stripes were connected by the mottled red imprint from Roxas' palm. They shared heated glares, each furious at the other. Roxas' eyes drifted towards the bulge restrained in the other's pants, and grasped his own loosened pair.

"You only want to use me," Roxas said.

Axel was not the first to try swaying the boy's affections. Xigbar had made a pass at him a few times, and some mornings there was a bouquet of flowers outside his room, waiting in the sunlight. Even Larxene had done her shared of sucking up, though it didn't last as long as the others.

"You scratch me back, I'll scratch yours," Axel admitted.

"It's because I have the key blade," Roxas said, answering his own question. He had hoped Axel's interest wasn't like the others--a bid to power. He rolled his eyes for expecting love from a Nobody and shrugged the nagging disappointment away. It wasn't real disappointment anyway.

The rustle of fallen fabric broke the silence and Roxas' pants were wrapped around his pale ankles. Axel lowered his head.
