"I look like a soft mint," Roxas frowned at his appearance as he glared at the blue tuxedo he had picked out, seemingly now regretting his decision.
"You look fine," I muttered and gritted my teeth as I tried to sort my black and red tie out, I was dressed in a black tuxedo, apparently (according to both Roxas and Demyx) Axel liked to see me in the colour black.
"Here," Roxas snorted and quickly sorted my tie out for me, making me scowl slightly as I felt like an infant, "you really don't like the idea of prom do you," Roxas grinned as he had noticed my scowl and I sighed, brushing my long fringe away from my eyes.
"Not particularly, but Axel wanted to go so I…" I was cut off by Roxas laughing and I blushed slightly, had I said something wrong?
"That's the exact reason why I'm going," Roxas sniggered and I smiled, I had come to notice how similar we both were and I considered Roxas as possibly a close friend.
"The things we do huh?" I said before grunting as Vexen came into the room, his giant eyes growing enormously as he saw both of us dressed up and I slapped my hand to my forehead as I noticed that he had a camera in his hand. I didn't like cameras, I never have, and they were an annoying invention to take a selected time frame out of its place and kept in a box half the time, so I never saw the point of them.
"I won't take any pictures now," Vexen chuckled at my expression, "I need the other two here as well to make it perfect," I rolled my eyes and looked up at Roxas who was still pulling on his outfit.
"If Demyx doesn't appreciate this…I'll kill him," Roxas scowled as he folded his arms across his chest in a strop.
"He will, Roxas," I laughed again as he just glared at me, sometimes I get the impression that Roxas was more 'anti-prom' than I was.
I felt my body tense up as the door bell screamed through the house and I couldn't help but roll my eyes as I heard Axel sing my name from the other side of the front door, it was a funny noise, so funny that I wanted to hit him when he came in that is.
"Oh this is going to be adorable," I raised my eyebrow as Vexen's voice became high pitched and I watched him practically run to the front door.
I flinched as Roxas suddenly shot passed me and peered around the frame to get a look at Axel and Demyx before I did and I saw both his face and his neck turn bright red. Frowning, I made my way over. Surely they can't be looking that great.
It was frustrating for me to say that they did in fact look a million times better in a tuxedo than either me or Roxas did and I knew that Axel knew that as he had the biggest smirk plastered all over his face as he and Demyx both stood their in their smart white tuxedos. I had actually expected both of them to also turn up in black like myself, but white seemed to look better on them…especially Axel.
"Zexion," Axel smiled at my image and I blushed, whining slightly as he hurried over to me and held me close to his body, "and you said you wouldn't look good in a tuxedo," I wanted to protest, but he had already kissed me before I could.
"You both look so pretty!" I frowned as Axel pulled away from me and we both turned to look at Demyx, who was currently squeezing Roxas so hard, that his once pale face has suddenly decided to burn red.
"Let him go Demyx!" Vexen chuckled and I giggled as he then slapped the back of Demyx's head, "it's photo time," that made my smile fall and I quickly hid my face in Axel's chest as Demyx and Roxas came over to be arranged by Vexen.
"Aw come on," I felt Axel's breath brush my ear as he rubbed my back, "it's only for a few seconds," he assured me and I growled in annoyance, knowing he was right, but that didn't stop my fear of cameras one little bit.
"Fine," I muttered and I gasped as Axel spun us around so that we were facing the camera and he wrapped his arms around my waist. I smiled a little and put my hands on top of his, noticing that Demyx and Roxas were also in the same position.
If it hadn't been for Vexen's manic grin behind the camera, I think I would have enjoyed the photo taking a bit more.
"Aw thank you guys," Vexen smiled as he flicked through the photos again and then looked up at us again, "go and have fun," I knew he was aiming that sentence at me as his large eyes turned to me afterwards and I nodded, trying to force a smile on my face to somehow reassure him that I would try to.
"You guys order a car?" Roxas asked as I reached the front door, looking over my shoulder in time to see both Axel land Demyx nod and I groaned.
How cliché I knew I was picking on trivial things, but I had practically been forced to go by Axel's annoying charm…though I did get my revenge by allowing him to think that we were going to have sex and then not…he wasn't happy that night.
My eyes bulged in horror at the sight before me, they hadn't ordered cars, no of course they hadn't, that would have been too damn simple for them! No, they had gone and ordered fucking motorcycles instead.
"You're fucking joking right?" I said with a bored tone as I turned to look up at Axel, but this only made my heart sink even lower as his grin was practically blinding.
"Oh no no no, this is our transport dear Zex," Axel winked at me and I scowled at him, this was his revenge for the other night.
"Whoa, hold on," Roxas's voice was shaken and I had to admit that I was also afraid.
"It's alright guys, me and Axel have been riding motorcycles for years!" Demyx clapped his hands and then grabbed a hold of Roxas's wrist, dragging him over to the bright blue motorcycle.
How could that even be possible? You aren't even old enough to have been able to drive these things for years…and how do you know that Axle has been driving one for years, you only met a few months ago!
"C'mon," Axel snorted as he pulled me towards the shiny black motorcycle, handing me a helmet and I snatched it out of his hands.
"I'll kill you," I threatened as I stuffed the helmet onto my head and got onto the back of the bike, reluctantly wrapping my arms around is waist and squeezing my eyes shut, knowing that if I didn't, I would most probably scream like a girl.
The roaring of the bike, the speed, the screams of joy coming from both Axel and Demyx as they started to race towards the hall our prom was being held, was just some of the things that were frightening me. I wanted to check on Roxas, knowing that he was just as afraid as I was. But I couldn't even bring myself to open my eyes, even for a second.
My arms tightened around Axel's waist as I felt the bike suddenly swerve violently round a corner and I gritted my teeth, panting slightly as an image of us crashing suddenly sprung into my mind and I gripped a hold of his shirt.
Please be there soon, please be there soon!
I had never been so thankful for the sound of chattering students before, it meant that I could finally get off the damn bike.
"Zex, you nearly cutoff my oxygen, you were squeezing so tight," Axel laughed and he rubbed his stomach where my arms had previously been.
"Don't drive like a wanker then," I replied and tutted as Axel mocked sadness, hanging his head and whimpering as a puppy would, "oh shut up," I held back a smile so that he wouldn't think he'd won and I turned as Demyx pulled up beside us, with a shaken Roxas sitting behind him.
"Don't race on the way to prom, you guys nearly gave me a fucking heart attack!" Roxas panted as he pulled his helmet off and shook his head to sort his hair out.
"Sorry Roxy," Demyx beamed as he bent down and placed a kiss on the angered blonde's forehead, which instantly made Roxas's face relax, which slightly freaked me out as I realized how easy it was for both of them to make everything seem okay for us.
"Come on," Axel held his hand out for me and I hesitated, wouldn't it be strange for two gay couples to dance together at prom?
"Hey," I blinked a few times, snapping out of my daydream as Axel's voice woke me up, his hands on my cheek, "I know you're nervous because of what people are going to think, but Zexion," I looked up at him and he kissed me, "this is just about me and you, Demyx and Roxas, okay?" he whispered as he pulled away slightly, smiling as I blushed darkly as I continued to stare at him. How is it possible that I was actually getting turned on by his kind actions?
When we entered the hall, it was decorated with the traditional theme that I liked to call 'Disney'. All of the girls where also dressed like Disney princesses, except for five of them. Kairi, Namine, Aqua, Larxene and Xion were actually dressed in beautiful red, black, blue, pink and white dresses.
It's alright for some I sighed and gasped as Axel pulled me into the middle of the all where all of the other couples…heterosexual couples, were dancing. I looked around for Demyx and Roxas, only to suddenly see them flying across the dance floor with such grace that I was taken a back a little bit. When the heck did Demyx learnt to dance like that?
"So you like it when others dance together…but not us?" Axel pulled my arms around his neck and I whined a bit, as the music just happened to switch to a slow song.
"They aren't gay," I muttered and flinched as Axel snorted loudly in my ear.
"So what?" Axel beamed, "more for us," he added with a wink and I just hid my face in his chest as he made us dance, my face burning deeply as I heard people wolf whistling at us.
Fuckers I just allowed myself to fall into Axel's arms even more and I took in his usual lavender and cinnamon scent, maybe it wasn't so bad just showing who you were in love with?
"I love you Axel," I smiled as I felt his head lift off of my shoulder and his eyes met mine once more.
"I love you too," why can't I stop wanting to be right beside Axel all of the time, it went against what I thought of relationships so badly that I wanted to rip my hair out. But…I wanted to be beside Axel all of the time, I wanted to hug and kiss him…do other things with him as well.
"Oh no way," I felt Axel's arms tighten around me and as I tried to look over my shoulder to see what was bothering him, he pressed my head back into his chest.
"Axel?" I whispered as my fingers curled around the hair at the back of his neck.
"Marluxia," I gritted my teeth as my heart rapidly sped up at the sound of his name, how could he possibly be here when he had been expelled?
"You came to prom?" I growled at his voice and I pushed Axel away from me, looking up at the tall pink haired teenager who was dressed out in a light blue tuxedo.
"How did you get in?" Axel snapped as we moved away from the dance floor and towards the doors to draw less attention to ourselves.
"Oh I have my ways," Marluxia smirked as he eyed me up and down, laughing slightly and I pulled at my blazer nervously. I knew I didn't look good; I didn't need him looking at me like that.
"Leave," I said far more firmly than I thought I did and Marluxia snorted.
"Why should I?" Marluxia asked as he grabbed a hold of my wrist and I scowled, quickly pushing Axel back again as he went to hit Marluxia, "I want to stay and watch you squirm, knowing that I'm here, watching and waiting for you," Marluxia's smirk was the last straw for me and I don't understand what snapped inside of me, but I felt as if he had just burnt down my house or something. The bastard had been picking on me for years, bullying me, attacked me in the street, scarring my body.
I growled and pulled my clenched fist back before throwing it at his face, hitting his cheek so hard that I had to shake my hand in pain afterwards whilst Marluxia stumbled backwards out of the door and I froze, suddenly realizing what I had done and as Axel grabbed a hold of my hands, grinning like a lunatic, I shook with a nervous smile.
"That was great!" Axel laughed as he squeezed me into a hug, "man oh man," his tone lowered slightly and I raised my eyebrows as he gave me the same look he did the first night we…
"Are you kidding?" I frowned, shrieking as he yanked me out of the hall and towards the toilets, "punching Marluxia turned you on?" I swear to god I regretted the moment I said those words as Axel began pushing one of the bathroom stools up against the door.
"Being badass suits you," Axel smirked as he pulled his blazer off and tossed it onto the area beside the sinks.
"We can't," I whispered as if somebody else was in there with us, "we'll get caught," I added but this only seemed to appeal Axel even more as he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me towards him so that our hips were touching and I felt my face burn.
"You shouldn't have turned me on then," Axel was discussing this as if I was asking him what his viewpoint was on the colour of my socks.
"Axel please," as I was saying this, I made the mistake of moaning lightly as his lips came down heatedly onto my neck, placing kisses there as he whispered my name several times.
"Please?" Axel chuckled as he bit down and I gripped his shoulders tightly as he backed us up against the wall, my head inches away from being hit and I gasped as he lifted me off of the floor and wrapped my legs around his waist as his fiery eyes met mine, "you don't need to ask politely," so smug, but yet I didn't give a damn at that moment as I removed my blazer quickly, revealing my short sleeved dress shirt, and tossed it onto the floor. I couldn't believe how incredibly warm it had gotten so fast and I found myself struggling to get rid of my tie as Axel started on his own, they soon found their way to the floor as well as our lips finally met in a kiss that nearly knocked the breath out of me. Axel's hands came up onto my stomach, expertly undoing my buttons and I wanted to snap myself out of the daydream he had sent me into, somebody could easily knock that stool down and come in!
"Zex," Axel purred and I arched my back as I felt his lips touch my bare skin on my chest, I ran my fingers through his thick red hair as I managed to kick my shoes off and get my open shirt off of my arms, my hands then moved from his hair to his shirt and I quickly tried to undress him as well as he had done to me. I actually managed to pull it off and even Axel seemed surprised by it as he looked up from assaulting my chest and smirked as bit as he throw his shirt behind him and discarded of his shoes as well.
"Aku," I momentarily froze as the nickname left my lips but I shook my head so that I refocused on my task ahead, my hands pulling at the belt that held Axel's trousers up was infuriatingly stubborn at staying attached and I began to panic as Axel was watching me.
"Relax, relax," Axel smiled and held my hands, rubbing his thumbs over them and placed a kiss on my lips, "you'll get the hang of it later on, I promise," Axel whispered as he placed my hands on his shoulders whilst he unbuckled his trousers and allowed them to fall to the floor, it was then that I realized that the sex maniac had decided not to wear any underwear.
"Aku," I repeated, admittedly my voice was beginning to sound like one of those stereotypical 'uke' types of boys, but…I liked Axel being dominant.
I felt Axel's breath hitch on my neck and I stifled a laugh as I saw another blush creeping onto his face.
I don't know how he did it without me even noticing, but my trousers were quickly pulled from my waist and I blinked several times as my eyes followed them as they fell in a heap with Axel's.
"You better call me that more often," Axel smirked as he ground his hips against mine, causing an outbreak of sweat on my forehead.
"No problem," I panted as I shut my eyes and threw my head back as my boxers were the last things to go.
His lips returned to mine as a distraction like the first time that we had sex. My heart had never gone so rapidly in my chest before and my fingers tangled in his hair once more, his scent overpowering my senses as I felt an unusual blush form over my face. It was the first time that we were going to make love once admitting it to one another in Axel's room.
I gasped into his mouth as he slipped inside of me, a slow and tenderer rhythm than before began to build between us. Our eyes locked tightly as we panted, our names rolling off of our tongues as the room started to heat up along with ourselves.
To say that making love was pleasurable with Axel was an understatement; the more he moved caused tidal waves of pleasure to rocket through me, his hand cupping me gently to bring me to my climax quicker and I cried out his name, leaning forwards as I was continually invaded by him and left a trail of kisses up and down his neck. My nails digging into his sweaty skin as he moved quicker, his moans getting louder by the second and my stomach began to burn.
I gritted my teeth and gasped loudly as I finally had release and I jolted upwards in Axel's arms as I felt him also reach his end, my heart still pounding as I looked up at him, something different surrounding us this time and we were silent except for our loud pants. Our hands entwined as our foreheads pressed against one another's, our breath dancing for a while before our lips collided in such a passionate embrace that I actually allowed a tear to fall from my left eye.
Up until I had met Axel, my life had been a complete hellhole. I feared so many things, so many people. But then the red haired angel that I can finally call my own came a saved me. My opinion on life has slightly changed, I know that not everybody is the same anymore and I even made some friends out of it. My dear friends.
As my lips moved against Axel's lovingly, I smiled at what he had brought to me.
Though his idea about Terra hadn't worked and I still refused to talk to him, at least I knew who my mother and father were.
To be quiet honest, without Axel I have no doubt in my mind that I wouldn't have been able to write this story for all of you guys to read. Axel saved me from everything I feared, brought me out of my shell, loved me even before I escaped the silence completely and became the one person I wanted to protect and be with in the entire world. He taught me that the world isn't so scary once you give it a try, but it helps if you can fall into the world with the safety of knowing that you have such amazing people standing behind you, supporting you everywhere you go in life.
And that's why I love him, Axel.

Finished 27/03/2011
I just want to thank everybody who stuck by this fanfiction and that I am actually proud of myself for being able to write events that actually happened to my friend and myself. Using Zexion as a spokes person for the story seemed right in a weird way, I've always thought that if he was just an ordinary teenager like us, he would have gone through some shit in life.
Through this story, I guess the messages I wanted to get across was:
*Love someone for who they are
*Never give up hope and think that nobody cares about you
*There bwill/b be a day where you stand up for yourself and show those buttaches whose boss
*People who bullies, threaten, torture, commit crimes will get whatever the hell is coming to them
I haven't decided whether or not to write an epilogue, so for now, this is goodnight for The Silence.
