J: Jalopy

The old, broken-down car was precious to them. Almost all of the paint was chipped off and it was replaced with copper rust, telling you how old it really was. The car Axel's--he got it for his sixteenth birthday party. But, truth be told, the car was older than he was. His dad didn't tell him its real age, but it's best to not find out. The boy believed that if he knew how dated and fragile it really was, it would crumble the next time he stepped in.

But the car carried lots of memories. Axel drove it when he and Roxas went on their first date; the kiss that sealed them as a couple was held in there; and, of course, their first time they went "all the way." It even carried Axel when Roxas drove him to the emergency room for jumping off the blond's second-story window ("Shit, my dad, Axel! Get outta here!") and completely forgot there was a tree to climb down on. The boys loved the run-down scarlet-now-turned-rusty-orange Camry. Even when it ran all the way until it couldn't run no more, the two still kept the car for sentimental reasons.

Axel called it "luck." Roxas called it "the dumpy old car they had sex in."

"Oh, Axel!"

"Mmm, baby..."

So far, the car was good for two things: one, to keep precious memories; and two, to "relive" those memories.

Axel thrust his hips sharply into the blond, drawing out a loud cry from the receiving end. Still moving in and out of the blond, Axel decided he should rack up conversation.

"Nn, Roxas, don't you find it weird that we spend most of our sex in here? Ahh..."

Roxas rolled his blue, blue eyes. He hated it when Axel started talking idly during sex. "Well, what else are we supposed to--ahh!--do with it? It's just sitting in your backyard, doing nothing, and--mm!­--we can't have sex anywhere else--! Oh, God!" It was true. Axel lived in a rather run-down house with two bedrooms and neither of the rooms were his. And with having paper-thin walls and your bed being the pull-out on the sofa, it's kinda hard to bang in his house. Plus, Roxas' dad got his panties all in a wad when he saw, heard, whatever, his son with the redhead because he was a "bad influence." Remember, tattoos equal evil and corruption to young minds.

"Axel, not so fast."

"No way," Axel breathed, doing the exact opposite and speeding up. He grabbed both of Roxas' thighs and hoisted them over his shoulders. "I'm at my limit. Help me see heaven, babe."

"Oh... ahhn!" Roxas gripped onto the upholstery and heard the rip that sounded. "Axel... Axel..."

"Yeah, say my name, Roxas," Axel moaned. "Say my name!"

"Axel, yes!" The blond cried, arching his back. "Yes, yes yes! Axel...!" And with a sharp yell, Roxas came, barely hearing the grunt that followed. As they got down from their high, Axel pulled out and pulled off the condom he had been wearing.

"Jesus, Roxas, do you think you'll get pregnant or something? Why do I have to wear these all the damn time?" He tossed the rubber out the window.

"Because it'll drip out and it'll stain my underwear and make like I pissed myself in the back or something," Roxas answered. He looked back to his boyfriend, who still had everything on except his shirt. Then, he looked to himself, who had nothing on at all, save his watch. He put on a pointed glance towards the redhead.

"Why do I always have to be completely naked? Do you want me to catch a cold or something?" Axel sneered.

"I'll be naked with you if you don't make me wear rubbers anymore." He grinned an innocent grin. Roxas looked at Axel incredulously.

"Pfft, fat chance. I'd rather be naked than dirty any day." The redhead chuckled and leaned in close, placing his hands on the sides of Roxas' head.

"Oh, how in the world did I fall for such an incorrigible guy?" Roxas smiled and patted the seat in front of him.

"Thank ol' Rusty here."

Axel laughed.

"Ha ha ha. This movie is so stupid!" Axel laughed disbelievingly. He swung his hand towards the drive-in movie screen. "I can't believe I wanted to see this." He looked towards Roxas. "I'm so sorry, Ro--" But he didn't get to finish his sentence, as the blond leaned over and placed his lips on his. Roxas finally let go.

"R-Roxas..." The blue-eyed boy licked his lips, and looked at the redhead matter-of-factly.

"You taste like Skittles."

"You heathen! Get out of my house! How dare you violate my son."

"Hey, hey, old man, don't get so mad--"

"Out!!" Axel stumbled out of the door and it was slammed shut behind him. Axel fixed his clothes, glaring at the off-white door that kept him from his precious Roxas.

"Man. Roxas said that we would do it. And I planned to actually be gentle for his first time." The lanky redhead ran a spindly hand through his wild hair and stalked to his backyard. It always was unlocked.

"Axel!" The young man looked towards the source of the voice. It was Roxas. You really couldn't see him, in the dark of the night coupled with his lights turned off. But Axel could tell that he was leaning out his window.

"Hey, there, Roxas." Then, he saw the blond climb out his window and grab onto the tree. "Ah, wait, Roxas..."

"I told you I'd give you my virginity tonight, didn't I?" he whispered, steadily climbing down. "I am a guy of my word, you know." He stepped off the tree, and walked towards the speechless redhead. "So?"

"Uh, babe, I'm not too keen on doing it outdoors," Axel said, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Roxas nodded towards the old Camry that sat in Axel's backyard.

"How 'bout there?" Axel looked towards the car, and back to the blond. He smiled.

"I like it."

Roxas blew the strands of hair tickling his nose out of his face. The ride to the hospital went on fairly quiet, neither of the two boys saying much of anything, besides light hisses and groans from Axel when he shifted positions.

"I can't believe you."

"Babe, I'm sorry--" Roxas shook his head.

"I can't believe you just flew out of my window. Did you forget that there was a hundred foot tree ten inches--I measured--away from my window?" He sighed. "Or did you think you were Superman!?"

"It was a spur of the moment, Roxas. And I'm pretty sure that I would surely be spotted by your dad if I climbed down the tree."

"Yeah, flying out of the window was the smart thing to do, wasn't it? If he saw you just climbing out the window by tree, sure, I would've gotten grounded for month and a half like now. But that's it. Your solution not only got you caught by that girly scream of yours outside my window, resulting in my grounding, but now your leg is broken." The blond sighed sharply. "You're an idiot."

"And you love your idiot, don't you?" Axel cooed.

Roxas didn't say anything.

A/N: This chapter took about a week to complete. Why did I delay so long? Ha ha ha. Good question. But this chapter isn't so swell. I seem to be shipping out really crappy chapters. & I'm very saddened by that fact.

& I'm sorry to you, too, readers.
