Love that Shouldn't Exist (Chapter 2)
Chapter 2
"Calm down axel, he's not dead, he's just sleeping"
"Really?"
"Yes, yes, he is. I've told you so many times already!"
There was a pause. And then some sobbing.
"Oh, c'mon! I didn't yell at you!"
Someone mumbled something.
"I'm not angry at you either, now come out of the corner"
"Mhn… Axel" mumbled Roxas in his sleep. A loud gasp came from inside the room and a sound of someone's body colliding with the bed Roxas was on.
"Roxas! Roxas, can you hear me!" Axel shouted to Roxas, as he tightly held Roxas's hand. Roxas opened his mouth to say something.
"Mhmm…meh…nnnmmmm" he breathed quietly. Roxas could hear Axel getting closer and could feel his warm breath on his skin.
"Roxas" he murmured contently. Roxas could only imagined that Axel had smiled.
As Roxas slowly became conscious, but too weak to move, he suddenly remembered what happened before with axel. 'I blushed, didn't I?' he worriedly thought. 'Do I…like axel? I am turning gay?… No wait, it felt like I was blushing because I had a fever… oh, and then axel… he was checking my temperature… but it felt different to me' Roxas thought for awhile, trying to rationalize everything. He eventually thought of a good enough reason to himself. 'I was sick, I guess I was delirious'. Roxas wanted to stop thinking about it. He rolled over to his side.
"R-Roxas?" said a quiet, sweet voice. Roxas realized he could move. He fluttered open his eyes. He saw the dark ceiling above him. Roxas also notice that the darkness was most likely caused by it being nighttime. He slowly sat up and fell, but axel caught him just in time. Axel held him in his arms. Roxas looked up at the already familiar face. Roxas felt his cheek become warmer than usual.
"You scared me before" axel chuckled in relief.
"You were worried?" Roxas felt confused.
"Um…well" axel avoided Roxas's gaze. Roxas laid his hand on his cheek to make Axel look at him. Then Roxas saw that axels face was bright pink.
"Please tell me" Roxas said in a sweet voice as he begged axel for the answer.
"Ah," he tried to hide it but he couldn't hide anything from Roxas when he's being cute. Axel smiled and took a breath.
"Yeah, I was worried… you wouldn't believe how much you scared me" he admitted. He hugged Roxas tighter as Roxas snuggled into his chest. They stayed like that for a few minutes, just holding each other.
"Roxas, are you sleepy?" Axel whispered into Roxas's ear. Roxas shook his head.
"No" he said.
"heheh, I guess not. You've been sleeping here for awhile" axel said.
"Here…" mumbled Roxas. "Um, where are we exactly" Roxas pulled away, but axel didn't let go. He looked around. The room was dim and the only light was the moonlight flooding through the window and covering everything. Though there wasn't much, only the bed that Roxas laid on, a door and a chair that axel must've been sitting on.
"This is your new bedroom" Axel announced. Axel smiled cheerfully. Roxas felt paralyzed and weak. 'I just want to…' Roxas started reaching up towards axels face. 'But…what if' Roxas hesitated. 'I need to…' Roxas place both of his hands on the side of axels head. Suddenly axel realized what Roxas was going to do. He began breathing heavily and his face turned red hot. He unconsciously inched closer to Roxas.
"I want to…" Roxas quietly breathed. They became so close that they could feel the heat emanate from their face and the hot breath on each others lips.
"Roxas…" whispered axel. That was all Roxas needed to make the first move. He press his mouth against axels soft, tender lips. A shock of complete happiness ran through both of the boys. Axel tightened his grip around Roxas's waist and Roxas pushed harder against axel. The blond boy moved his hands to around axels neck. Soon, they eventually parted to breathe. They both panted from nervousness.
"Ah, unmm" axel nervously scratched that back of his head.
"We just…"Roxas trailed off in thought, taking in what had happened.
"heh, erm yeah…" axel said. Axel stood up from the bed and began to walk towards the door.
"I think...I should go" axel turned to Roxas to see him sitting on a bed of messed blankets with the moonlight shining in his hair. He turned back to the door, when he felt Roxas leap into his back and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Don't leave" Roxas pushed his face into the red-head's coat. Axel sighed.
"I can't say no to you" he turned around as Roxas loosened his grip but didn't let go. Roxas buried his head into axels chest. Axel smiled as he stroked Roxas's hair.
"Mmm…" Roxas made a long content hum.
"Do you wanna go out for a walk?" suggested axel. Roxas lift his head out from axel and nodded with a cute smile on his face. Axel slipped out of Roxas's grip and let out a fan girl scream.
"Kyaaa! Roxies so cute!" axel exclaimed.
"Will you SHUT UP!" screamed out a woman's voice, most likely Larxene.
"Axel…"Roxas sighed. Axel chuckled.
"I'm sorry" apologized axel. "Well, lets get going then".
"Kay" replied Roxas.
