I wasn't going to bother to write another but two reviews just got me to write again. Thank you so much ReliveTheGreat and Leven the Valkyrie.
Axel rubbed his temples trying to rid himself of his growing headache. The whole week since he confessed to Roxas it had been nothing but awkward and so much tension between the two of them. He thought about just telling Roxas he was messing around with him, but then thought that the blond would be really pissed at him. Screwing with his feelings was a big no no.
But what he feels for him is genuine. Since that day in the park, Roxas had been the only person on his mind. At first he really did just feel like sleeping with some stranger. But when he heard the teen crying all lustful thoughts seem to have left him. After talking to him, Axel felt concerned about him even though he didn't know him. For the rest of the summer Roxas would randomly pop into his mind. He would wonder how he was doing and if they would ever meet again.
When he found out that Sora's brother was moving in with them a week before school started Axel was livid. He couldn't stand the boy. So all thought of Roxas vanished until he saw him in class. He was worried about him but at the same time wanted to be friends. Finding out that he used to date the scum bag, that hurt and angered the redhead. He also felt envious of the annoying blond. At the time he didn't know why.
Seeing them kiss pissed Axel off so much he had to hold back so much just to not tackle and yell at them. When Roxas asked him to hold him, he was in shock as to why. He was going to push him away but the look on Roxas face made him change his mind.
Axel thought back to after he found him sleeping in his car and after he carried Roxas into his room.
Le Flash back XD
"Assel the door is locked." Ven wiggle the handle while looking up at the taller male.
Axel had Roxas sleeping form on his back. He sighed pondering if he should wake Roxas up or just wait till someone came home. Readjusting the boy on his back, Axel decided that He would wake the blond up. He could feel so much heat coming off of him. He had to get the teen inside before his fever got worse. As he was about to wake him up Ventus asked him if he could go into Roxas backpack.
"The key, Wasis has it." Ven pointed to the bag. Axel bent down low enough for Ven to dig around in the bag until he found the key. "Told you." Ven grinned handing the key to Axel.
"You sure did." Axel chuckled as he unlocked the door and went in following after Ventus. "Can you show me Roxas room?"
"Wasis room is over hear. He will nap better in bed, right Assel?" He glanced up curiously.
"That's right kiddo." Axel answers as he entered the dark room. He went over to the bed and laid the teen on it.
"Hey Ven?"
"Yes?"
"Do you have any cloths? I need them for Roxas."
"Oh oh I know where mommy keeps them follow me!" Ventus scurried out of the room and ran to the hall way cabinet. He then opened the top from the edge of the door but could quit reach any cloths.
Axel appeared behind him and scooped him up. Ventus giggled as he became taller. He grabbed 4 random cloths and gave them to Axel not sure of how many he needed. Axel put him down thanking him for the fabric. He then went to the living room with Ven putting planets vs. zombies in at his request.
"I'll be in Roxas room okay?"
"Okay." Ven answered with eyes glued to the tv. Axel watched him for a few seconds before going back to the blond's bedroom.
Roxas was laying in his side when Axel came into the room. He scratched the back of his head at a lost for of what he was going to do. Sighing deeply, he went over the dresser and pulled out some clothes. He then went to the kitchen to get get two bowls of water. Going back into the room he approached Roxas, gulping as he began to slip his shirt off. He prayed that the teen wouldn't wake up.
As the shirt came off Axel brows furrowed. He saw the dried fluids all over the blond's chest and stomach. There was even some showing from under the hem of his pants. Gritting his teeth Axel wet one of the rags and began to clean the filth off of the boy. He wet the rag again making a face when the water changed color. He felt sick knowing that the crap was on his hand now. He got up and went to dump the water and rinse out the cloth.
Axel went back to Roxas and removed his pants. Not happy to see more of the stuff on his thighs. He cleaned it up then got rid of the cloth and dirty water. He washed his hands in burning hot water before going back. He slipped the clean shirt on Roxas trying not to stare at his clean body. He put his shorts on, put a wet cloth on his forehead and quickly left the room.
His face was pink when he sat on the sofa. He was already having lustful thoughts about the teen. He wanted him but knew he could never have him. At that moment Axel thought it was one of those 'you want what you can't have moments.'
Later that night while he laid next to Roxas on the the bed he had more lustful thoughts. He turned to his side to stared at his sleeping face. He looked so peaceful. Axel's heart thumped. He reached out and softly strokes Roxas' cheek.
End of le flash back.
Axel knew he liked Roxas after sleeping next to him. It was weird since they only knew each other for a week. After he kissed him the first time, he knew he really really liked him. He knew it wasn't just lust. He was hurt when Roxas kicked him out and more hurt when he found out Roxas was with the bastard again.
But now he wasn't. He was single and Axel thought he had a chance. To bad he didn't wait a little longer. "I fucked up big time." He told himself as he parked the car in the drive way.
Just as he got out of the car he saw Kairi and Roxas, who looked really guilty, walk out of the house. Kairi had the biggest smile he had not seen since her wedding day. She skipped over to Axel and put her hand out. Axel raised a brow at her.
"Keys." She moved her fingers stating for him to hand them over.
"Can I hear a please?" Axel teased trying to hide and better his mood.
Kairi rolled her eyes. "Can I hear a never driving the car again?" She smirked.
"Ah you've learned well sister, you've leaned well."
"Thank you oh great one." She rolled her eyes again.
"Going to pick up Ventus? You know I would have done it of you didn't call me telling me to just come home."
"Going shopping with Ventus and Roxas." She smiled happily. "Ven's going to pick out a costume and-"
"You want to help pick something right?"
"We'll since you don't dress up anymore I just thought that I could help Ven and Roxas." Kairi pouted a bit.
Axel ruffled her hair laughing. "Oh I dress up. Just not around you."
"Pff pervert." Kairi giggled smacking her brother's hand away. "Anyway we have to hurry now thanks to you." Kairi snatched the keys from Axel's hand and walked over to the car leaving a spaces out Roxas alone with Axel.
Axel watched Roxas for a moment or two. He looked like he just did something he was regretting doing. Axel walked over to him without thinking about and embraced him. He could feel Roxas stiffen from in the hug. Realizing what he was doing he let him go looking away while scratching the back of his head.
Honk
" Roxas what ate doing, Ven's going to be waiting."
Roxas snapped out of his thoughts and cursed himself. He was about to move but he noticed Axel standing in front if him with pink cheek. A new found guilt enveloped him. He felt like he just cheated in Axel when they weren't even together.
Axel noticed Roxas staring at him with worry, guilt, and frustration. He looked over to see Kairi raising a brow at them. He looked back to Roxas and took his hand, dragging him to the car. "Let's go Roxas, uh Ven's waiting for you."
"...huh? Oh right." Roxas got in the car followed by Axel.
Kairi gasped. "Axel your coming with us?"
"It appears so dear sister."
"I'm so happy right now. I'm going to force you into the most embarrassing costumes I can find."
"You better not Kairi. Last time you somehow forced me into a leather cat outfit. May I remind you that it was only half a shirt."
Kairi giggled as she drove. "It was funny and you know it."
Roxas listened to the two bicker about what embarrassing outfits Axel was forced to wear. He pictured each and everyone. Starting from the cat one. He pictures Axel with a short leather shirt. The hem going only just above his diaphragm. He had tight leather pants with a spiked belt, going just bit lower than it needed to be. He had a long red tail and two cat eats on his head. He even picture Axel with a collar begging Roxas for attention. Roxas blushed and could feel himself getting hard. He shook the thoughts out of his head as Ven's school came into view.
Kairi parked the car as Axel just finished saying he was going to make her look like the ugliest thing he could think of as revenge for all her past trickery.
"I'm going to go get Ven." Roxas unbuckled himself and stepped out of the car limping once. He hoped no one noticed.
"Hey Axel, did Roxas just limp?" Kairi turned around in her seat to face her brother.
"You must be seeing things. He's walking just fine." Axel gestured with his head to where Roxas was walking. He knew his sister wasn't seeing things. He saw it too and was planning a murder in his head.
"Well okay."
"Kawee! Assel!" Ven exclaimed as he ran to the car past Roxas ignoring him as he waved to his two friends. "Bye Terra! bye Aqua!"
"Bye Ven!" They said in unison.
Roxas feeling a little hurt that Ven just ran past him, slowly made his way back to the car. He watched Axel open the back car door for him while bowing and saying "your highness." Ven giggled and crawled into the car followed by Axel. When Roxas got to the car Ven was strapped in and started to talk Axel's ear off.
"Roxas what store did you want to go to?" Kairi asked as she started to pull out of the parking lot.
"I was thinking the mall. They have plenty of costumes for Ven to choose from."
"Costumes?!" Ven turned his attention to the two in the front.
Roxas lightly laughed, "Yes Ven, remember?I promised that I would take you to pick one. Kairi is going to help and...Axel is too."
Ven looked excitedly around the car. If he wasn't buckled in, Roxas was sure the boy would fly out the window. "Thank you Kawee, Assel. Thank you Uncle Wasis."
Roxas smiled at him. No matter what mood he was in, Ven some how made him feel normal and happy. Even if the happy was fake at first. It would just become real.
"I want that no. No that one. And this one." Ven grabbed three random outfits giving Roxas his puppy dog eyes.
"Ven you can only have one." Roxas shook his head at his nephew.
"B-but but? I want them." His lip trembled and his eyes began to water.
Roxas just rolled his eyes and shook his head again. "Ven that's not going to work this time. You know better. If you make a fuss your not getting anything." This made Ven's fake tears turn real as he realized what his uncle just said. Roxas knew he was just bluffing to get the child to behave.
"Assel!" Ven dropped the bagged costumes and ran for Axel who was looking at some face paint. No doubt actually thinking about going through with what he said to Kairi.
Axel turned his attention to a whiny, tearful Ven. He crouched down a little so they where face to face. "Hey little buddy what's wrong?"
Ven sniffled and pointed to Roxas. "Wasis is being mean to me." He whined.
Axel looked over to Roxas who was rubbing the bridge of his nose. He chuckled and ruffled Ven's spiky hair. "What's he doing to be mean?"
"He won't let me have any costumes."
"Oh that is mean." Axel watched as Roxas approached them. "Wasis how can you be so cruel." He turned Ven around and rested his head on the boys shoulder with a pout to match Ventus' sad face.
Roxas rolled his eyes. "It's not being mean. It's teaching him to behave."
"I think he is well behaved." Axel stood up.
"He is, just ugh! Come one Ven." Roxas took Ven's hand and dragged him away from Axel.
Ven's tears stopped as he gulped. He was afraid he would get a time out or worse, they would just go home. "W-Wasis I'm sorry."
Roxas sighed and picked up his nephew. "I know you are Ven. I'm sorry too." Ven wrapped his arms around the older blond's neck, hugging him. Roxas hugged him back then pulled back a bit. "Let's get you some costumes to try on. Kay?"
"Kay." Ven hugged him again.
Ven yawned as he sat on Roxas lap. He had picked a ninja costume about an hour ago. They were still in the mall waiting for Kairi to just give up on forcing Axel into costumes. He told her he wasn't going to try anything on or get anything. But some how she got him to try on at least ten different costumes.
"Wasis I'm hungry and sleepy."
"I know Ven, and I'm sorry but we have to wait. Just try to nap okay?" Ven nodded and let sleep take him.
"For the last time Kairi I'm not putting that one on."
"But I think you would make a good Joker. Riku will be batman, Sora is going to be Robin, while I'm going to be bat girl."
"Kairi, for the last time I'm not going to dress as the joker, last year it was Marvel and now this year is DC. I'm done with the comic book stuff. Hell you made be the Mad Hatter two years ago. Beside, I've seen Sora's costume and its not Robin."
"What? He told me it was DC themed this year. That little lier. Now what am I going to be for the party?"
"Party?" The two looked at Roxas. "What party?"
"Oh, right sorry Roxas. I forgot I tell you."
"Tell me what?"
"Well every year, Sora, Riku, and I host a Halloween party." Kairi said as she bounced on her feet.
"It usually starts with everyone invited, to gather at the house. Then we all go trick or treating." Axel looked away embarrassed before continuing. "After that failed attempt we head back to the house and have a party."
"Which is usually themed." Kairi finished.
"Oh."
"Roxas your invited too you know."
"I um" he blushed. "I'm not the partying type."
"But Roxas you have to come." Kairi begged him. "I promise that we will have more than just alcohol to drink."
"Kairi, that's really not going to win him over."
"Oh hush. Will you go Roxas please?"
Roxas bit his lip wanting to say no, but knew he would have no choice unless he went back home. Which didn't sound so bad. The look Kairi gave him, however made him say yes.
"Now we have to get you a costume!" She cried happily."
"What an exhausting day." Roxas said to himself as he laid in bed. After they left the mall, they went home and ate dinner. Roxas helped Ven with his homework, and did his own, which he got from Axel. Though the two never said anything to each other when the homework was handed over.
Roxas just came out a shower feeling tried for more than one reason. He still felt the guilt from what he did with Hayner before they left to go pick up Ven. "I'm such an idiot. And then I just had to see Axel after. Not only that I had to be around him. I'm sure he noticed my random limps." Roxas closed his eyes wanting to just disappear.
He thought about just going to Ven's room, packing up and then head back home. But he knew that was impossible knowing Sora or Kairi would ended up asking him why he left without a word. They would show up at his house and start with the questions he didn't want to answer.
Roxas rolled over on his side when there was a knock on his door. He slowly got up and went to open it. He looked down to see Ventus rubbing his sleepy eye. "Ven? Is something wrong?"
He sniffled and clang to his uncle. "I-I had a bad dream. M-mommy and d-daddy" he whimpered letting his tears run free. "Mommy and d-daddy...d-died." He cried letting his it out loudly.
"Roxas hugged him close. Trying to clam him down. The thought that he dream this hurt Roxas. He never wanted Ven to have any nightmares like that. Or any nightmares at all. He picked him up and carried him to bed with him. He rubbed Ven's back as he let him cry, still trying to comfort him.
"Ven, it was only a dream, they won't die. Mommy and daddy are too strong for that. They'll wake up soon okay?" Ven nodded his head while burying his face against Roxas chest. Soaking his shirt with tears.
"Is everything alright?" Axel appeared by the open door looking concerned. He knew what was wrong, he heard them speaking. He was going in the bathroom when he heard Ven screaming. He quickly got dressed and headed for his room only to see the boy standing standing in front of Roxas.
"Ven just had a nightmare. It's fine now." Roxas strokes Ven's head. Every thought besides comforting Ven left him. He didn't care that Axel was there and he didn't care if the redhead tried to talk to him. He was only concerned about Ven.
"Wasis can I sleep with you tonight?" Ventus whimpered.
"Of course you can."
"Assel will you sleep with us?" Ventus looked from over from Roxas to Axel.
"Wha- I um. I-it's up to Roxas." Axel turned his pink face away from the two blondes.
"If it's what Ven wants." Was all Roxas said as he got Ven under the covers.
Ventus nodded and Axel went over to the bed. He got in and laid next to Ventus with Roxas on Ven's other side. "Good night." Ventus mumbled as he sniffles one last time.
"Good night Ven." Roxas kissed his forehead.
"Night kiddo."
so next chapter will be a horribly described halloween party. I've never actually been to one. So if anyway had any ideas let me ok now please. Also again the question from the last chapter's A/N. should Roxas and axel just be together already or should they wait a little longer? Thank you for readinbe please review.
