I woke up, moving my hands everywhere in search for his warmth, but when I couldn't find it, I flung up in panic.
"Axel?" I shouted, my heart racing until I saw him walk out of the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" Axel sat on his coffee table, facing me.
"Where'd you go?" I asked, hating how lonely I felt, even as I looked at him.
"Just to make breakfast. It is Christmas after all." Axel reminded me.
"Merry Christmas." I smiled, not completely happy, and I knew I wouldn't be until he held me again.
"Merry Christmas baby. Now stand up and hug your big spoon." Axel stood up and I rushed to my feet, nearly falling on him as I attacked him with my hug.
"I love you Axe." I rubbed my cheek up and down on his chest.
"I love you too Roxy. You're all I could ever ask for this Christmas. Just knowing that we're still together, it's the best present ever." Axel lifted my face up so that he could plant the gentlest of kisses on my lips, each one making me crave the next more and more.
"As we will be next Christmas and the one after that and the one after that and every single Christmas after that." I smiled up at him and he chuckled.
"You so cute baby." Axel squeezed my ass and kissed my temple. "Alright, lets eat so that we can get ready."
"Ready?" I asked, not knowing what he was referring to.
"We're going over to Sora's. Reno and Rude are going over too. Then we can come back, just you and I, and we can open our presents, ok?"
I looked to the tree to see a bunch of bags and wrapped boxes resting underneath.
"I cant wait!" I sped off to the kitchen where Axel and I ate. We showered together, although we didn't do anything, just shower, and changed into some Christmas apparel.
"I don't know if this is going to fit." Axel held up the dress he bought me and made me wear at Reno's party.
"If it'll fit Riku, it'll fit you." I smirked, reminding him of our deal.
"Yeah but I'm taller! This is going to show my ass."
"Lucky me." I stuck my tongue out and Axel rolled his eyes.
"Alright, lets see." Axel lifted his hands up and tried to put the dress on, although it was a tight fit.
It hung off his shoulders beautifully, better that it did me, since his skin is so smooth and pale and perfect. It barely covered a couple inches past his crotch, and I couldn't hide the smile on my face.
"Sexy."
"Oh I bet." Axel put a hand on his ass and posed.
"Hat." I reminded him and Axel put on his Santa hat.
"Oh, I forgot these." Axel dug into his dresser as I watched. "Wait out in the living room." He said and I rolled my eyes as I did. I wondered what was so special that I had to wait out there, but I did anyway.
"Ready?" He yelled as he entered the living room.
"Yea-," I stopped short. Under his dress he was wearing fishnets and black boots. The boots were his usual pair that went up his calf, but it looked extra sexy with those stockings.
"What do you think?" Axel strut his stuff over to me and I gulped.
"Holy shit." I widened my eyes. "Um, you ready to go?" I asked, clearing my throat.
"Yep. Come on; if I have to ride a motorcycle in this, we better leave before the streets get packed."
I laughed, "Alright."
Axel put on a long black coat over the dress as he sped off with me behind him in white skinny jeans and a red sweater with a backpack full of the presents that we had for our family and friends.
"Hey! Why does Axel get to wear a coat over his dress?" Riku whined as soon as we stepped through the door. I started chocking on my own laughter at the sight of someone with broad shoulders and thick arms that made the seams look like they were going to pop in such a dress.
"Hey, I had to ride a motorcycle here! This dress is way too short to ride without anything else on."
"Well you're here now so take it off. I don't want to be the only idiot here." Riku rolled his eyes and Sora came up to hug me.
"Don't they look adorable?" Sora was also wearing white skinny jeans…it must have been our twin telepathy matching us, and he wore a green knit sweater as well.
"Oh yea. Too bad Axel isn't an inch taller or there'd be no point in him wearing that dress at all." I snickered.
"Puh-lease, if I was an inch taller you wouldn't be able to reach." Axel stuck his tongue out at me and I laughed. Axel removed his coat as we all joined Rude and Reno in the living room.
"Oh, there's two of them?" Rude chuckled as Riku and Axel walked side by side.
"Shut up." Axel grunted, sitting down on the couch and spreading his legs wide.
"Axe! You're in a dress!" I pointed at the wide gap between his legs.
"I have underwear on, thank you very much." Axel lifted one foot on the coffee table and I quickly sat in his lap to prevent anyone else from being blinded by my boyfriends body.
"Merry Christmas everyone!" Reno came out of the bathroom dressed up as Santa. "Now, who wants to tell me what they want first?" Reno sat on a recliner chair, arms out wide.
"Aren't you supposed to ask before Christmas?" I clarified.
"Same difference kid." Reno waved me off. "Ok, Rude, why don't you go first?" Reno smirked and Rude sighed, getting off of his chair and on his boyfriends lap.
"Hello Santa." Rude said dryly.
"Have you been a good boy?" Reno asked in a fake Santa voice.
"I think Rude would make a better Santa." Sora said and Rude gave him a death glare…well he was wearing sunglasses, but we could all feel it anyway.
"He may look like a better Santa, but he doesn't have any cheer." Axel said and we all nodded.
"Now tell Santa, have you been a good boy Rude?" Reno asked and Rude sighed again.
"Yes."
"Oh really? Cause I beg to differ." Reno winked and Axel made a fake gagging noise.
"Arent you going to ask what I want for Christmas?" Rude asked and Reno smiled.
"Tell Santa what you want."
"I want my dick up your ass." Rude started making out with Reno and we all sat there wide eyed.
"Ok come on, get a room!" Axel hollered.
"Yeah, and not mine." Riku sighed.
"Alright alright, who's next?" Reno asked as he pushed Rude off of his lap.
"My turn!" Sora innocently jumped into Reno's lap while Riku watched with intense eyes.
"Have you been a good boy this year?" Reno asked and Sora nodded quickly.
"Oh yeah. Riku and I have been really good!" Sora smiled.
"Sounds boring." Axel said and I nudged his arm with mine to shut up, even though I was smiling.
"And what would you like for Christmas Sora?" Reno asked.
"I would like to spend time with my twin, my boyfriend, and our friends." Sora said, being the perfect person that he is.
"Sorry Sora, but that's not going to happen." Riku said and we all looked at him, confused. I started to panic seeing the way that Sora frowned.
"But, why not?" Sora looked like he was ready to cry.
"Because, I don't want to be your boyfriend anymore." Riku stood up and Sora put a hand to his mouth, already in tears.
"Wahhhhh!" Sora bawled in Reno's lap as I gulped, wondering what to do or say, pausing as Riku knelt in front of Sora.
"Sora? I don't want to be your boyfriend, because I want to be more. Marry me?" Riku opened a case to a shining ring as I smiled so big, loving the way that Sora went from sobbing to smiling like a dumb idiot.
"Riku!" Sora hopped off of Reno's lap and into Riku's arms as Riku stood up, lifted Sora off of his feet, and swung him around in circles.
"Dress." Axel coughed as we all looked away, but I'm sure the adorable couple didn't care.
"I love you Sora." Riku stopped to set Sora down and kiss him.
"I love you too Riku." Sora hugged Riku tightly.
"So, is that a yes?" Riku asked, smiling bigger in the past minute that I've seen his whole life added up.
"Mhm." Sora nodded and we all started clapping.
"All I want for Christmas is you Sora. For every Christmas, for the rest of my life." Riku said as Sora silently cried tears of joy.
"Congratulations!" I stood up and hugged Sora, then Riku. I was so happy for them. They deserve eternal happiness more than anyone for all they've done for me, and even for each other.
"Riku, do you want to go next?" Reno asked after we all settled down from the big proposal.
"No thanks Santa, I already got what I want." Riku said, his arm around Sora while Sora stared at the ring on his hand, moving it around, flashing his hand everywhere, smiling up at Riku.
"Roxy? Come on down!" Reno invited me so I went on his lap. I felt a connection to Reno that I couldn't describe. It was nothing like the connection I had with Axel or with my twin, but it was stronger than my connection with other friends.
"Santa? I haven't been all that good. I've made a lot of mistakes, and I've said a lot of things I wish I could take back. I hurt the ones I love most, and I hurt myself as well. I've been given a lot of second chances, and I've failed nearly all of them. I don't deserve my boyfriend. I don't deserve my awesome brother. And I don't deserve the friends I have today. I don't care if I get coal Santa, I really don't. I don't deserve to ask for anything this Christmas." I said honestly and everyone was quiet. Reno stared at me like he understood.
"But if I had to chose one thing I'd like to ask for, I wish that Axel gets everything he wants. He's been great this year; he's been amazing to me. All I want for Christmas is for him to be happy." I said and Reno nodded.
"You've been better than you give yourself credit for. I will grant you your Christmas wish." Reno smiled and I hugged him.
"Thanks Reno…I mean Santa."
"Axel, you're the last one." Reno said, helping me off his lap as I faced Axel for the first time since I left his side to sit on Reno's lap. Axel had this look on his face that I couldn't really explain. He seemed almost sad, like he was thinking. I hope I didn't remind him of what I pain I was to him. Oh fucking shit, if he breaks up with me know…fuck it, I'd probably kill myself.
"Santa?" Axel asked as stood next to Reno.
"Yea?" Reno asked back. We were all quiet.
"The one thing I want most this Christmas is to give Roxas what he deserves." Axel walked over to his coat and reached inside his pocket, pulling out a small box.
"What is it?" I asked as Axel handed it to me with a straight face.
"It's what you deserve Rox." Axel stood back as I took off the top.
I stared into the box, and when I looked back up, my eyes were leaking.
"What is it?" Sora asked and I sniffled.
I took out Axel's gift and held it in my hand for everyone to see.
"Axel!" Reno stood up angrily as I started to cry with a lump of coal in my hand.
"I thought you said you wouldn't care Roxas?" Axel asked and I tried to push all my tears back in my eyes and I muffled my own tears and whimpers as I tried to collect myself back together.
"Axel, what the fuck?" Reno took off his Santa hat and I tried to stop my bottom lip from quivering.
Coal. It's what I deserve, but it still hurt.
"Give me that." Reno took the coal out of my hands and threw it at Axel, who carefully caught it as if it meant the world to him. Reno went over to hug me while Sora walked up to him, clearly bothered.
"Axel, why?" Sora asked and Axel walked right up to me, ignoring Sora's question.
I was looking at my still clean hands, wondering why it hadn't turned black when Axel put a hand on my shoulder.
"Here." Axel extended me the coal.
"I don't want it." I looked away, upset.
"I think you do."
"No, I don't." I said, panting over my frustration.
"Open it Rox."
"Huh?" I asked, not sure what he was saying.
"Open it." Axel repeated with a small smile and I looked down to see that the coal had a line running through it horizontally. It was fake. No wonder it didn't stain my hand or Axel's.
I twisted it open and started crying all over again.
"I love you." Axel threw his arms around me. He started crying too and I sobbed, leaving everyone to wonder what was going on.
"What is it?" Reno asked.
"Are they ok?" I could hear Rude's voice.
"So what do you say?" Axel asked and I nodded, unable to break away from his hug.
"Yes. Yes!" I squeezed Axel tighter but he broke the hug, took the fake coal from my hand, and slipped that silver ring around my finger.
"He said yes." Axel smiled at Riku with watery eyes.
"Oh, I've seen those. Fake coal to hide diamond engagement rings in. I hear they sold a lot of them for this Christmas." Reno nodded as he finally understood.
"No way!" Sora jumped up, screaming like a girl. "ROXAS!" Sora tackled me back into the couch, hugging me and squeezing me. "We're engaged!"
I had the biggest smile on my face ever as I cried tears of joy, loving how even Axel was crying lightly as well.
"I love you Roxas. There is no one I'd rather go through life with. All our ups and downs are just a part of a journey I'm glad I'm taking with you."
"I love you Axel. I love you so much. Thank you for taking me back and giving me so many chances." I rushed up to his side and clawed at his dress, trying to touch him as much as I could, just trying to feel him as best I could to understand his love.
"You two." Reno shook his head with a smile. "You four!" He corrected himself as Riku, Sora, Axel, and I all smiled, guilty.
We all listened to Christmas music and opened the rest of our presents as the day quieted down. Reno gave Rude yet another pair of sunglasses, Sora got some candles and picture frames and Riku even spoiled him with an expensive camera. Reno and Axel gave each other gift cards to restaurants and Reno gave me some sweaters and T-shirts. Things were calming down fast after all the excitement that was starting to tire us all.
"Reno, we never asked you what you wanted for Christmas!" I remembered, even though it took a while.
Reno looked at me, then looked away. "It's ok." He shrugged.
"No it's not." I said, valuing him in my life.
"Come on, tell us." Axel said.
"Yeah, tell us what you want most in life. More than anything! We all got our wishes, so you will too! Well Rude hasn't gotten it yet, but I'm sure he will later." Sora blushed and we all laughed at him, except for Reno.
"Yeah, that's the thing." Reno's voice was very solemn and as he stood up, I could senses that something was terribly wrong.
"Reno," Rude stood up and the second Rude held him, Reno started crying.
"Oh Rude," Reno bawled and Axel jumped to his feet.
"Reno? What's wrong?"
"Was it something I said?" Sora asked in a hushed whisper but I knew he wasn't to blame; I could tell Reno's pain went deeper.
"Reno?" Rude asked, actually worried, for the first time that I've ever seen. "What's wrong?"
"Rude I, I," Reno started to smile through his watery eyes. "I'm pregnant."
AUTHOR'S NOTE PLEASE READ: So yes, Reno is Prego, it's no bluff. And for those of you that are sad that this story is over….there WILL BE A SEQUEL that discusses the pregnancy, the baby, and of course, the twin's weddings ….and maybe, if you're lucky, the honeymoon ;) For those of you who are a bit unsure of male-pregnancy, don't worry, it wont be weird or creepy or anything, just simple honest, innocent love and baby making ^_^
The sequel wont be out for a little bit, since I just started it and am also working on about 7 other stories, so please be patient, I do appreciate it.
Thank you all for joining me on this journey of a story, and I hope you all continue to follow along for the Sequel when it comes up. Check out my profile as time continues since I will be updating it to let you all know when to expect the sequel to be posted.
To RoxasVentusHikari: Well I hope that by now, the end, it is clear that he wont go back to being a little slut lol. Awww, Merry Christmas! I hope you liked my present to you lol. I'm so glad that you like this story that much, and again, Merry Christmas to you =) Hope to hear from you in the sequel, or in my other stories that I will be posting while I write the sequel ^_^ ~Sarabellum
To mellow-panda7: I want to start off by thanking you for your tip, but I intentionally leave it out. I feel bad for making my uke's go without lube, but it allows for lemons with more passion, drama, and intense emotions that I feel wouldn't be the same if I were to add it. I couldn't write that Axel-as-uke lemon the same way if I added lube. But I really should be more nice, so I'll start writing lemons that allow my uke's to enjoy it too lol. Funny how you mentioned 'making babies' cause you totally called it lol! I'll tell Axel to stay away for you, oh, and Merry Christmas to you too ^_^ I hope to see your comments during the sequel and possibly in my upcoming stories. Thank you for your reviews and support and advice =)
To KidaKama: Do you have a skype or email that you would be comfortable sharing with me? I can send pics of things close to what I envisioned, since it would be easier and more effective than trying to describe it. If not, I can do my best with my words, I am a writer after all :P or at least I'd like to think so lmao. Thank you for your wonderful reviews and I hope that you join me again in the sequel and maybe even my upcoming fics. Thanks again, and Merry Christmas to you as well ^_^
To Shadowridge: haha yes, they are so evil! ….still wish I had one though….lol ;) Ok, as sad and pathetic as this is,…I'm afraid of fire . SHHHHH! IT'S A SECRET (which makes no sense that I put it in all caps lmao). But yea, I seriously am afraid of fire, so no, I don't ever feel like incinerating things. If you've read my 1st posted story, Let Me Be Your Popsicle, Roxas has a fear of fire….yeah….that was self-inspired XD Aww, thank you! I really appreciate it. Well if you ever want to send me you story, I'm here. And I'm going back to re-read your story, oh and congrats for committing and continuing it! I know its not easy =) I hope to hear from you in the sequel!
To all of my readers, reviewers, and fans, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Have a wonderful KH yaoi filled life!
See you ALL in the sequel ^_^
Love, Sarabellum
