"C'mon slowpoke!" Reno ran ahead of him, taking two and three steps at a time.

"Why do we always have to take the stairs?" Axel huffed, trudging up behind his companion to the sixth floor.

"The exercise is good for you, yo." Reno's smirking face appeared over the railing, looking down the stairwell at him.

"You callin' me fat?" Axel's eyes narrowed in mock annoyance.

Reno looked up to the ceiling and seemed to consider for a moment. "Umm, yes."

The mischievous Turk bolted up the stairs laughing, Axel now hot on his trail, grinning despite himself.

The wedding had been perfect, as Axel knew it would be. The food was good, Xion was beautiful, and Roxas was happy. At one point during the reception, he teasingly told the blonde that if he didn't stop smiling so much, his face would be stuck like that. His best friend had merely shrugged in reply, uncharacteristically radiant smile firmly in place.

Any time that Axel felt the mildest twinge of jealously, he simply had to look over at Reno, tugging uncomfortably at his tie or laughing with Demyx and Zexion. Then it was easy to remember that he had his own future to look forward to.

Things with Reno had been going smoothly over the past months. All of Axel's friends liked him. (Although Kairi had teased him and said they could be long lost twin brothers, and Axel promptly told her to shut up, cause that's weird.) Reno's partner was a cool dude, but meeting his other friends had been interesting. Most of them seemed mildly surprised that the redheaded Turk was into guys. So that was a great icebreaker...

They dated. They laughed. They slept together. Generally, life was pretty fantastic.

Axel stopped at the fifth landing of the staircase, elbows on his knees, breathing heavily. The hot Costa del Sol weather and the overbearingly warm tux were taking their toll.

"Hey babe! You coming?" Reno peeked down from the sixth floor landing impatiently.

"You're right. I'm too fat. I give up." Axel waved off the other redhead and continued to catch his breath.

Reno snorted, flipped over the railing, and hopped down to the fifth floor. Axel straightened up, but before he could ask what Reno was up to the Turk easily snatched him up like a sack of potatoes and continued his sprint to their hotel suite.

"Reno! Put me down!" Axel flailed about weakly, hoping that none of his friends or the other wedding guests were around to see the spectacle.

"One second." Reno smoothly slid the keycard into the door, and strode into their suite to dump Axel unceremoniously on the king sized bed.

"Oof!" The air left Axel's lungs in a rush, and he bounced on the bed a couple times. He sent a halfhearted glare at the other redhead, but gave that up in favor of fussing with the bow tie around his neck. "Too hot…"

"Well, that can be fixed, yo." Reno grinned down at him, and started working the jacket off his shoulders.

Reno was free of all of his clothes, and Axel was left in only his dress shirt. Reno looked down at him and decided that he'd leave that last piece of clothing on him. He had plans for that shirt.

Axel thrust his hips up, creating some wonderful friction. Reno leaned down and licked a salty trail up his companion's neck to that secret spot just behind the ear. Axel groaned appreciatively and reached down to fondle him. The feeling of their chests sliding together and the way Axel breathed hotly into his ear, was both comfortingly familiar and undeniably sexy. Reno groped blindly for the items in his dress pants, not wanting to remove his mouth from that perfect neck, or stop thrusting into that pleasurable hand.

Finally successful, Reno disengaged himself from Axel's hand to roll on a condom, and just as he was about to continue into some foreplay, Axel switched their positions. The taller redhead arched above Reno, slathered up his own fingers, and began to stretch himself. Reno mumbled out bits of encouragement, enjoying the show, while his hands ground into pale tattooed hips and did some groping of their own, making Axel suck in his bottom lip in concentration.

Axel finished and was going to position himself above Reno, ready to ride his companion, when Turk switched their positions again. Reno leaned down and kissed Axel deeply, his hands working up the other's sides, pulling the open dress shirt with them. When the entire shirt was above Axel's head, Reno pulled the sleeves taut. He'd left all the buttons closed at the wrists, and Axel's hands were now trapped and pinned.

"Wha..." Axel's confused and aroused mind was just processing that he was stuck.

"You're all mine now, yo." Reno smirked, pressing into that tight heat. Loving the feeling of being inside Axel, and loving the flush that burned across the other man's features even more.

Axel moaned throatily, using his hips to meet each of Reno's thrusts, and occasionally tugging futilely against the makeshift restraints. He wasn't normally into tons of bondage, but it was probably just because it was Reno holding him down that had him so hot and bothered.

A breathy laugh escaped the Turk as he began to pick up the pace. Axel's questioning eyes met the other redhead's. "I didn't know," Reno grunted with some effort, attempting to keep Axel pinned and lifting his knees up at the same time, "you were such a kink, yo."

"Shut up and fuck me harder." Axel demanded, his breath hitching. He was now completely at Reno's mercy with his hands trapped and his knees draped over the other redhead's scarred shoulders.

Reno smirked and delivered.

Axel's eyes rolled back into his head and he embraced the white fire building in his veins.

"Watch it, yo!" Reno patted down the still burning ashes Axel had just flicked onto the hotel bed. "You're actually gonna start of fire if you keep that up."

Axel shrugged unconcernedly and took another drag of his clove. "At least it's not our bed."

"You know you're kinda crazy, right?" Reno shook his head at the his companion and took his cigarette to put it out in the ashtray.

"Maybe, but isn't that why you love me?" Axel said half jokingly and fluttered his lashes in false innocence.

"Hmm," Reno hummed to himself, brushing loose strands of hair out of Axel's face. "I guess it's one of the reasons I love ya."

Axel's pulse quickened slightly, butterflies zooming around his stomach. "So there's more than one?"

"There's a million, yo."

Axel grinned goofily, and tried to will away the blush that he knew was burning up his ears and spreading to his cheeks. When he was unsuccessful, he buried his face into the pale chest before him. A feeling of elation was welling up in his heart, and he just hoped that Reno didn't do anything to ruin the…

"Aw, are you blushing?"

"Shut it."

"Love you too, babe."
