Hey guys, guess what? This story have over 100 reviews now. Cool right? But anyway, this is the last chapter before the epilogue. I just want to say that this chapter made me cry as I wrote it. Not because it's the last one but because of the connected emotions I share with Roxas.
This would have been up yesterday but I have reasons. I literally almost died with my family yesterday. Someone left the stove on where only the gas was on. It spread through out the house but none of us could smell it. It explains why I wanted to pass out haha. We got lucky cuz my older sister came home and smelt it before I could...play with my lighter XD so yeah lucky there right?
Also I'm sick with a cold that makes me dizzy. But I pushed through it so I could finish this baby up for you guys. I did my best to edit any mistakes so please forgive me if you see any.
Thank you all so much for reviewing, following, reading, and favoriting this story. I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
PS, autocorrect on a phone is a bitch. Gave kept changing to have and Cloud changed to Claud XD
The car ride to the hospital was anything but calm. Axel and Roxas' dad had argued about who would ride with who before the redhead gave up and sat in the back seat with Roxas and Ven. He didn't want either of the blonds alone with the man. He knew Roxas was uncomfortable and he knew Ven was scared. With a growl of frustration, Axel shut his mouth and gave in so Roxas would stop looking like he wanted to die.
Axel sat behind the driver in the back of the car, keeping his eyes out the window with his chin rested in his palm and elbow on the small edge of the bottom of the window.
Next to him sat Ventus, the little blond fidgeted in his seat, eyes staring back and forth at his uncle and Axel. He was still scared and had no clue what was going on. All he knew was that his grandpa was mad at both Axel and Roxas while Axel was mad at his grandpa. He didn't know if hugs and kisses would help this time around.
Beside the little blond sat Roxas. He started timidly at his lap, his fingers clasped together, and his lower lip was between his teeth. He was exhausted and just wanted the day to end. He was worried about to many things at once and the stress of it all just kept growing. He knew things were just going to get worse if something bad happened to Cloud or Tifa. He didn't think he'd be able to handle it.
Roxas' father kept looking in the review mirror. He felt horrible for yelling at his son. He just needed to talk with the boy and hopeful get things straighten out. He needed to do it alone and away from the disrespectful redhead. He honestly couldn't see what his son saw in the teen. He even had a thought about Roxas being a girl and if the redhead was still the boyfriend, he would still disprove of it. He shook that thought away with a shutter and focused on driving. Right now he needed to worry about his first born.
As the drive went on Axel chanced a glance at Roxas. His eyes sadden from the way his lover looked so disdained. His right hand twitched with the want of reaching over to hold his hand. He wanted nothing more than to comfort him and tell him everything would be okay. The only problem with that was that he would get Roxas in more trouble with his dad. He didn't want to give Roxas more stress.
Some how Ventus was able to sense this and took his hand in one of his smaller ones, while he placed his free hand on top of his uncle's hand. Roxas lifted his head up a bit to gaze at his nephew who gave him a small smile. Roxas returned the smile and held the child's hand with a silent thank you.
Within the next few minutes, the group pulled into the packed parking lot. They drove through row upon row of parked cars, looking for an empty space. It was enough to add to the tension all occupants felt. They all wanted to get out of the car as soon as possible just to get some distance between them. After ten more minutes passed, they were able to find a spot and park the car.
Roxas was the first out followed by Axel, who ran to the other side of the car so he could pull Roxas into a tight hug. The blond blushed and hugged him back, burying his face against Axel's chest. He didn't see the way his father was staring at them with disgust and melancholy. Roxas just clang to Axel, taking in his sweet words of affection.
"It'll be alright Roxas. I'm sure it's nothing major. I'll be right beside you no matter what happens." Axel whispered so only the blond could here him. "I know how much you care about them and I know that nothing I say or do will really help but, I do know that I love you."
Roxas let out a shaky breath and nodded his head. His hands tighten on the back of Axel's coat. He tilted his head so his chin was pressed on the redhead's sternum, sapphire eyes gazed into piercing jade, holding a silent conversation of thank yous and appreciation. Roxas' cheeks and nose tinted red from the freezing air around them, only adding to the blaze blue in his eyes. "Thank you." He whispered, standing on his tiptoes, giving Axel a quick kiss.
Axel smiled down at him and kissed his forehead. "We should let go before your dad kills me." He chuckled glancing at the man's hard glare.
Roxas blushed and pushed away slightly. He looked toward the ground and then back at the car. Ven was sitting on the edge of the seat watching them with curious eyes. Roxas' blush grew while he reached down to pick up his nephew. Axel shut the door for them and ruffled Ven's spiky hair.
All the while Roxas' father watched them. He turned his back on the trio as thoughts ran through his head. They looked like a happy family, as if Roxas was married to Axel and Ventus was their child. He couldn't deny the way it warmed his heart to see his youngest so happy, yet he just couldn't see why his son couldn't be happy with a girl. With a huff the man cleared his throat. "Lets go in now." He said with a small growl.
The teens and child nodded and as they followed the man toward the entrance, Ventus tugged on Roxas' coat. The blond looked at his nephew and hummed. "Why was gwanpa yelling at you?"
The question itself was innocent, but it made Roxas flinch all the same. He didn't know how he could word what happened to the younger blond. How do you tell someone that what was normal, wasn't normal to other people? "Well," he started with a crack in his voice, "grandpa doesn't like that I like Axel."
"Why? Assel is a good boy...but he needs to go on time out." Ven pointed at Axel who raised his eyebrows. "You said bad words."
"I'm sorry?" Axel chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head.
"You better be." Ven said, crossing his arms.
Roxas lightly laughed. He loved how his nephew could easily ease the tension in almost any situation. "Ven has you whipped." Roxas teased his boyfriend.
Axel huffed and rolled his eyes. "He can get away with it. At least there's one cute blond that cares so much about me." Axel said sticking his tongue out.
Ven giggled and patted Roxas' head. "It's okay Wasis, you don't have to give Assel kisses no more."
Roxas smiled and gave Ven a small hugs as he held him. Axel whined and Ven just giggled. When the trio entered the building, all fun and games ended. Roxas sucked in a sharp breath. The smell of bleach and medicine filled the area only causing harm to Roxas psyche. He always felt chills run down his spine every time he was in the large building. Roxas always thought that each time he went to see his family, it would be one of the last times he would see them a live. It always hurt him to think about that and he knew it was a horrible thought.
Once the group reached the elevator on the far left, Ven pressed the arrow pointing up. The doors opened and a few people stepped out. The group moved aside to let them pass before stepping into the small metal rectangle with the doors closing behind them. Roxas pressed the floor they needed to be on while Axel whipped out his phone.
"I'm letting Riku know we're here." He said while he typed on the screen of his phone so nobody would have to ask what he was doing.
"Riku is the doctor yes? How exactly do you know him on such a personal level?" The ravened haired man asked.
"He's my brother in law and sister's best friend." Axel put his phone away and faced the man to show him he didn't fear him. He didn't want to show the man any weaknesses. He wanted to let the man know that he was strong and could stand up for himself and protect Roxas. As much as he hated the man's morals, he wanted him to like him for Roxas' sake.
"Ventus, he is the friend you told me about isn't he?" The man asked his grandson with a calm gentle voice.
The little blond nodded happily. "He is Assel, and Soowa is his brother."
"Soowa?"
"Sora, he's the head doctor. You've already met from what Sora told us." Axel explained and leaned against the wall. He wished the doors would open already.
"Ah, the brunette."
The ride up to the next few floors was filled with an awkward silence. As soon as the doors slid open and the group walked out in a rush. Roxas was in the lead with Ven clinging to him tightly. Behind him was his dad and in the very back was Axel. It was a family matter and the redhead didn't want to get in the way of that.
Roxas opened the door, nearly running into the room. What he saw made him gasp. Right across from him, on the opposite side of the door, sat Cloud in the bed. His big deep blue eyes widen the moment they landed on Roxas and Ventus.
"Cl...Cloud!" Roxas cried running to his brother's side.
"Daddy!" Ventus yelled. He wriggled in Roxas' arms, trying to get free so he could run to his daddy.
Roxas let Ven on the bed, the child firmly hugged Cloud. The older blond embraced his son with a chortle. He ran his fingers through golden spikes, gently caressing his son's head. "Hey little man, miss me?"
Ventus sniffled, his lip trembled, and his eyes teared up. He quickly nodded his head and buried his face in the crook of Cloud's neck. "Hey now, it's okay. Daddy's here." Cloud cooed and shushed his boy while petting his head.
"We both missed you." Roxas whispered, trying to hold back his own tears. He never liked to cry in front of anyone but especial Cloud. His throat felt tight and his eyes glazed over.
Cloud gave him a small smile, extended his arm out with a bit of difficulty, and yanked Roxas in for a hug. Roxas let his tears slip, arms circling around his big brother and nephew. He notice that the once strong, toned arms, were smaller and less defined. Cloud's cheeks were sunken in and his waist was slim. It was to be expected from no use.
"Cloud, you're awake."
The sound of the man's voice got said blond's attention. He gave a nod to his father as a greeting. "It's good to see you dad."
"I'm happy you are fine. When the redhead got told us the doctor told us to rush over, I feared the worse." His father said with a great sigh of relief. He trudged over to his boys, stood on the opposite side of Roxas, and added to the hug.
"Redhead?" Cloud asked and as if being summoned, Axel entered the room with a small wave. "Ah, Roxas and Ven's friend."
The hug broke apart, save for Ven who clung to his daddy. Roxas took a step back and chewed on his lip, keeping his eyes to the floor, letting his tears die down. Their father crossed his arms and spat out, "Oh he is more than a friend, apparently."
Cloud raised and eyebrow, staring at his father with confusion. "What are you talking about?"
The man's brows furrowed and the hard look in his eyes came back. Axel saw this and marched over to Roxas, pushing him behind himself protectively. "Cloud, you're brother says that this boy is his...ugh it's so disgusting I can't even say it."
"Say what?" Cloud asked breathlessly. He was tired but seeing his family made him want to stay awake but he wasn't in the mood for any family drama.
"I'm his boyfriend." Axel said in the most calming way he could. "It happened a few days ago. So when you met me I was nothing more than a friend."
Cloud turned his head to face the redhead. He quirked a brow at the couple, trying to see Roxas. Axel stepped aside, gently guiding Roxas to stand on his right, taking his hand and giving it a small squeeze. He analyzed the pair, taking in the way they stood next to each other; the way Axel didn't flinch even though he was clearly intimidated by him. He looked at the way Roxas kept his eyes glued to the white tiled floor and how his ears turned red. He tittered and smirked. "Is that so." He said rather than asked.
Roxas snapped his eyes up, both wide in surprise. "You mean, you don't mind?" He asked quietly.
"What do you mean 'is that so' Cloud you can't be serious?!" Their father asked shocked, his arms dropped to his sides and his jaw fell open.
"Why should I care who Roxas dates? Whatever makes him happy should be enough. Well as long as who he dates doesn't betray or hurt him then I don't care." Cloud said with a double meaning, smirking when Axel gulped.
Roxas smiled and jumped his brother, hugging him until the older blond groaned in pain. Roxas chuckled, letting him go so he could stand by Axel. "Sorry."
"It's fine, but hell that hurt." Cloud rubbed at his ribs and shifted Ven around so he was more comfortable. The boy was sleeping with a grin on his face, blissfully unaware of what was taking place around him.
"I can't believe you. How can you say such a thing Cloud?! Surely I raised you better than this." Their father growled.
Cloud narrowed his eyes. Unlike Roxas, Cloud wasn't afraid of his father. He wasn't scared of discounting him or never speaking to him again. It wasn't that he hated his old man, it was just he didn't like being treated like a child when he was a man in his mid twenties. "I mean what I said. I'm sorry you have to be ignorant of the world around you."
"What if it was Ventus? What if he were the gay one, huh?" The man challenged, pointing to his sleeping grandson.
"I wouldn't love him any less. If that's how he turns out then that's how he turns out. I'll support him no matter his preference and so will Tifa." Cloud looked over to his still comatose wife with a sad smile.
Roxas followed his gaze and remembered her words from when she work up briefly. "She's the one that told me to stop being stupid."
"What?" Cloud questioned.
Roxas met his brother's gaze, scratching at his cheek. "Well she woke up last month for a minute or two. She heard me talking to you guys and she told me to stop being stupid. She's the real reason why I opened my heart up to Axel." Roxas took Axel's hand, gazing into the older teen's eyes. "With out her, I think I'd still be pushing him away." Axel smiled down at him with elation shining in his emerald eyes.
"So it's her fault?" All eyes turned to the raven haired man. "It's her fault my son has chosen such a sick way in life! I will not have it! You are still under my rightful guardianship. I will have you move out of that house and out of Cloud's house. You will move into our new with me and will continue school at home. Do I make myself clear!"
Roxas had his eyes squeezed shut. New tears trickling down his rosy cheeks. His breathing hitched and his body shook violently. He had enough of being yelled at and ordered around. He had enough of his father's judgement. He couldn't take anymore of the scrutiny. Balling up his fist, the teen opened his angry, watery, ocean blue eyes. They glared at his father and with a lot of force the teen opened his mouth.
"Shut up!" He yelled, ignoring the stun expression his father gave him. "Just shut the hell up! I can't take this anymore. You have no idea what I've been through and you have no right to tell me who I can and can't date. I don't care if you are my father and that I'm only sixteen. I've been through hell this whole fucking year.
You know what happened? After I told you that I liked a guy who happened to be Hayner, he dump me! Smashed my heart and I couldn't even go to you for comfort or for advice. No, instead I cried at the park and was found by Axel. He was kind to me even though I was being an ass to him. He cheered me up when he didn't have to.
But that's not all that happened. I thought I would be fine after a while but then Hayner called me. You what we did? We fucked and then he shoved me away, only hurting me more. But you know what, I bet your glad I got hurt. I bet you would be happy if it made me never want to be with a guy again." Roxas cackled. "It could have happened, if not for Axel."
Roxas took a breath before he continued. "All my friends left me because I was being a little emo kid and just couldn't be happy go lucky like them. I stopped eating and even lied to Tifa and Cloud about eating, but as long as I stayed away from guys I bet you'd be happy.
A month after school started Hayner and Axel became new students and then all hell broke loose. Hayner outed me in front of people in school. He acted as if I was still with him and at the same tome I was still being an ass to Axel. He was still nice to me even then.
When Cloud and Tifa got in that accident, he stayed by my side, he even got Sora, Riku, and Kairi to help. They got Cloud and Tifa settled and they took care of them. Yeah that's what doctors are for but they didn't have to take care of the bills or anything.
After that Hayner started to rape me at school and would even force his way into my room."
Cloud and his father's eyes widen with horror and anger. They didn't know what to think when they heard him say he was raped. Before either could say anything Roxas continued to speak.
"The bastard didn't even stop when Ven came into the room." Roxas cried miserably. His tears falling heavily as he sniffled. "I was to weak to fight back and I feel like shit for letting that happen. I finally had enough and we ended up in a fight. Though I got the shit beaten out of me by a bully. The teachers came, stopped the fight and even though I got Axel pissed at me, he took care of me. He even picked up Ven for me and waited until my punishment was given to me.
The next thing I know is that I'm living with him at Sora's. I was safer there even though that prick lived there too. Axel kept me happy and Ven liked him. He was always there for me even after I fucked up and tried to push him away.
He means a lot to me and I will not stand here and let you tell me that I can't see him! He's sweet, kind, caring, honest, and just perfect in his own way! I don't give a damn if you hate me for this or disapprove of me dating him anymore! I can't help the way I feel about him alright?! Being gay, or whatever the hell I am is not a choice like some fucking morons think. It's just the way we are, the way we are born." Roxas panted out with his voice cracking from the sobs catching at his throat.
"If you are done Roxas, you will march back out these doors and I will see to it that you never see this-"
"I love him!" Roxas proclaimed, fist tightening until his knuckles turned white. His heart pounded loudly in his ears, his face strawberry red and eyes full of pain and seriousness. The tears in his eyes never stopping their heavy flow.
"Roxas...y-you love me?" Axel was the first to speak among the flabbergasted males. He was as stun as Cloud and Roxas' father were. Eyes agape and jaw hanging slightly open. He stared at the blond with hopeful eyes as he prayed that he didn't hear wrong.
Roxas faced Axel with baited breath. His eyes slowly traveled up the teen's frame until they locked with angelic green. He could feel his face burning with embarrassment as his rage left him. He said the words without even thinking about them but in the moment he knew they were true. He did feel that strongly about Axel and he was sure he felt it the first day they became one. The only thing that kept him from admitting it was his own doubt and fear of being crushed again. And yet, as he gazed into the eyes that adored him, he wasn't frighten anymore.
With his heart pounding at a faster rate than he has ever felt before, Roxas stared straight into Axel's green orbs, opened his mouth with a husky voice, he said, "Yes. Axel I love you."
Axel pulled Roxas against his chest, locking him in his embrace. Roxas shut his eyes, wrapping his arms around Axel's torso, his hands balling Axel's coat desperately. "I love you." Axel whispered.
"I love you, Axel." Roxas sobbed. As if one weight had been lifted from his shoulders and another was fighting to get free. His worry about Cloud and Tifa vanished but was replaced with the worry of losing Axel. He buried his face against the plush covered front of Axel's chest, wishing he could could just disappear with the redhead. He couldn't and didn't want to lose him.
The couple stood there, holding each other while Cloud and his father just silently watched. Neither man knew what to say or do. Cloud accepted the relationship but his father was still processing everything. His eyes were dull of emotion and his face blank of expression. He let out a deep sigh after about five minutes of thinking. As much as he didn't like it, he wasn't going to hurt his boy anymore than he was already.
"Roxas." He said with a tired voice. Roxas sniffled and peek his eyes out to show he was listening. "I'm going home to think. But I want you to come home this weekend and to...bring your...boyfriend over for dinner. But before I go I want you to know that I'm sorry. We will speak later." The man smiled before he walked out of the room.
Roxas untangled himself from Axel and ran out of the room. He quickly caught up to his father and hugged him from behind. "Thank you." He sniffled.
The man patted his hands and when Roxas let go he walked to the elevator and vanished behind the doors.
Roxas returned to the room and was enveloped in Axel's arms. Roxas leaned against him, completely exhausted. "Can we go home?"
Axel chuckled and kissed the top of his head. "I want to say yes but if you remember correctly we came here with your dad."
"Great." Roxas said sarcastically and closed his eyes.
"You know, I was about to kick you guys out for yelling." Snickered the familiar voice of Riku. The sliver haired doctor was standing by the door way with a clipboard in hand.
"And where the hell were you?" Axel asked lazily.
"With other patients." Riku said walking passed them. "Sora and Kairi are on their way down by the way. They finished up what they needed to do with that kid."
"That's right, they're here too." Axel dragged Roxas over to a chair that was placed against the same wall the door was on, pulling the blond to sit on his lap.
Riku hummed and looked down at his clipboard before he examined Cloud. "How are you feeling now that you've been awake for a while?"
"I want to go back to sleep, honestly. I wasn't expecting any of what just happened." Cloud laid back, grunting as Ven's weight leaned on his sore ribs.
"I don't think anyone was expecting that." Riku chuckled. "I got you a prescription for when your ready to leave tomorrow and I set you up with a physical therapist. I'm not going to lie, it's going to be a grueling couple of weeks, but once you get used to things should go smoothly."
"Cloud can go home?" Roxas sat up, eyes staring at Riku's back.
"Tomorrow, yes. As for your wife's condition." Riku paused to flip a sheet of paper. "She seems to be doing a lot better than before. We still don't know when she'll wake up but I'm certain that the coma won't last more than a few more weeks if not a few months."
Cloud rolled his head so he could watch his wife's sleeping form. He smirked and patted his son's head. "She better or I think Ven here will be upset with her."
Roxas watched the loving way his brother looked at Tifa. It was the same look at that Axel always gave him. Lost puppy dog eyes with a longing to be with the one they loved and adored. It made him smile to know that he had someone looking at him like that. He shifted around on Axel's lap so he could smile up at him. The redhead brushed his bangs away and planted a kiss on his forehead. Roxas cuddled up against his lover with a content sigh. Everything just seemed to be getting better after a long storm of angst.
"You guys are so cute." Kairi giggled, her big blue eyes peering down at the couple making Roxas jump and bump his head against Axel's chin.
"Fuck, Kairi, what the hell?" Axel grumbled, rubbing at his chin. "I almost bit my tongue."
Roxas rubbed the top of his head. "You didn't but I did." The blond groaned.
"Sorry." Kairi giggled again. "I couldn't help it. You both looked so cute."
"Kairi, I told you not to run off like that." Sora complained as he entered the room with a child on his shoulders. The brunette sighed, gave the couple a quick wave, and sauntered over to Riku and Cloud.
Roxas stood up and followed after the doctor. Cloud looked at the strangers curiously. Roxas knew he would want to know who they were so he felt the need to introduce them. "Um, Cloud this is Sora, his wife Kairi, and um their new son, Vanitas?" he looked to Sora who just nodded. "They took me and Ven in while you slept."
"He's the guy who owns this place?" Cloud stared in disbelief.
"I get that question a lot." Sora laughed. "But yeah that's me. I'm glad to see you're awake. You and your wife gave us all a scare."
"I'm sorry? Uh thanks for taking care of my family." Cloud tried to sit up but Riku's gentle hand on his shoulder pushed him down.
"I know you want to move around but it's better if you just relax." Riku informed the older man.
"Right." Cloud huffed.
Roxas picked his nephew up, cradling him in his arms. "Cloud, I think we should go. I've missed you but like Riku said, you need to relax."
"Alright, I want to sleep anyway." Cloud reached up, poking his son's cheek. The boy stirred, yawning while he opened his eyes. "Hey little man, it's time for you to go home with Uncle Roxas."
"But I don't wanna." Ven said groggily.
"You'll see me tomorrow champ." Cloud ruffled his messy spikes.
"Pwomise?" Ven asked while wiping his eyes.
"Promise."
"Okay." Roxas lowered Ven down enough so the child could hug his father good bye. He then nuzzled his sleepy face into the crook of Roxas neck.
"Okay Roxas, get the hell out of my room." Cloud playfully said.
"Love you too." Roxas laughed as he walked toward Axel.
"We'll give you guys a ride home." Kairi chirped as she and Sora said their good byes and followed Axel and Roxas out of the room.
"Soooo does that mean I'm an uncle now?" Axel questioned his sister, eyes glued to the raven haired child that was quietly watching everything from atop Sora's shoulders.
"Of course it does. It also means you'll be baby sitting." Sora tittered as he removed Vanitas from his shoulders and into his arms.
"I hate you all." The boy growled out whole shyly clinging to Sora.
"You can't be serious? I'm not baby sitting." Axel said with a shake of his head.
"He isn't that bad Axel. Besides I think it's cute that you're an uncle." Roxas said with a sly smirk. The blond sped up and stepped into the elevator followed by a blushing Axel, giggling Kairi, chuckling Sora, and a glaring Vanitas.
"Not cute." Axel grumbled, looking anywhere but at Roxas. The group laughed at him and rode the rest of the rid down to the main floor in comfortable silence.
Once they were able to leave the Hospital, the group piled into Sora's car. It was a little less than legal since the children had to share a seat and seat belt, but other than that, the drive was quick and safe. As soon as they got home Roxas and Axel carried Ven to the back house while Sora and Kairi took Vanitas to his new room in the main house. Roxas settled Ven into his bed and took Axel's hand so he could lead him to his room.
The couple where now sitting on Roxas bed, staring at either their lap or the window. Neither teen knew what to say or rather how to word what they needed to say. Roxas was feeling embarrassed for having confessed to Axel his true feelings and nervous about the dinner that he and the redhead had to have with his father.
Axel, on the other hand, just wanted to pounce on his lover and ravish him until he begged for him to stop with a hoarse moan. The only thoughts in his mind was the fact that Roxas loved him back. It made his heart soar to high heaven with glee. He didn't know if he could get an happier than he was in that moment.
Following his gut, Axel took Roxas hand in his own. He shifted so he was facing the blond. His free hand cupped Roxas' cheek, gently caressing his face and lips. The blond blushed and leaned forward until his lips locked with Axel's. The kiss was sweet and passionate yet controlled so it didn't lead to anything else.
Roxas moved so he was straddling Axel's lap, his hands gracefully placed behind the older teen's neck as they continued to make out. Roxas slowly pulled back, his forehead rested against Axel's while their eyes gazed intently at each other.
"Whatever may happen later in life, I want you to know that I'll always love you. I don't think I'll be able to stop loving you, Roxas." Axel peck his lips, arms around the teen's waist, hands on the small of his back.
"Even if my father never approves of me, I think I'll be alright. It's thanks to all of you that I can finally just be myself. And I know that everyone will support me. Not only in life but with being in a relationship with you. You've done so much for me Axel, and you've never asked for anything in return. I'm so lucky to have met you. I honestly do love you, Axel." Roxas affirmed with another kiss.
The teens stared at each other longingly, lovingly, with no doubt or fear of what the future may hold. All they cared about was each other and how much they loved one another. Things were looking up for the young couple and they wouldn't let anything get in their way of their relationship. They may have a bumpy road ahead of them, but as long as try stayed strong, nothing could break them apart.
