"I'm so bored!"
Axel groaned and slid half way off the couch, dropping the remote beside his boyfriend.
"Well, find something to do?"
"Something, not someone, I have homework."
Groaning again, Axel slid off the couch and onto the floor, leaning his head back and looking up at the ceiling, he began to think of all the things he could do. Games? Nah. Movies? None appear to be on and he's watched the ones they had five times each, if not more. Axel supposed he could draw but ... no. His hand was still sore from his earlier sketch.
"Roxas"
Axel knew his boyfriend's name came out incredibly whiny, but dammit, he was just so bored!
"I have an idea. Why don't you go to Subway."
"You just want me gone."
"It'll give you something to do."
Sighing and nodding, Axel rose to his feet and grabbed his coat off the living room chair.
"Do you want the pepper on it this time?"
"Not like, peppers, no. But ground pepper, yeah ..."
"Alright, and to drink?"
"Chocolate milk."
"Be back soon ... And I'll still be bored."
"But you'll be eating and I'll be done my homework soon."
Leaving their apartment, Axel glided down the ramp and smiled as he passed one of the apartment building's tenants.
"Hi, Xemnas."
"Hi, Axe- ..."
"I have Heelys ..."
"Glad you cleared that up, I was beginning to think I was losing my mind."
"You need help?"
Axel looked towards Xemnas' car and nodded towards it, but more specifically the boxes inside.
"Would you?"
"Yeah, sure. You need them upstairs?"
Nodding, Xemnas grabbed one of the boxes and let Axel grab the other.
"So ... this one is pretty light. Just clothing?"
"Ah, yeah. A store I frequented closed down and they gave me some stuff. Mostly clothing, but there are a few belt buckles and other clothing accessories. Think you'd be interested in any of them?"
"I might be. When do you plan on going through it?"
"As soon as we put them down."
Entering Xemnas' apartment, Axel looked around and smiled.
"This place suits you perfectly, Xemnas."
"Is that a compliment or ...?"
"Huh? Yeah, it is. Don't worry. Where do you want the box?"
"Just set it on the coffee table."
Setting the box down, Axel watched Xemnas do the same.
"I'm going to get a pop, I'll bring you back one too. And cookies."
Smiling and thanking Xemnas, Axel pulled his phone out and sent a text message to Roxas.
"I'm at Xemnas place. Still doing homework?"
"Shit, you scared me. No, I'm playing Slender ... why are you at his house?"
"Helped him with something and now we're going through them. I gotta go, he's back."
Putting his phone back into his pocket, Axel took the coke that was offered to him and sat on the couch.
"So, what type of clothing?"
Xemnas sat beside Axel and placed one of the boxes on the floor, opening the top.
"Fancy clothing. Dress pants and the like, but there are some expensive jeans in here too."
"Oh ... I don't buy expensive clothing. I tend to always ruin them."
Axel glanced down at his jeans. They had seen better days, but thankfully for Axel, ripped jeans was a "thing" now and people actually paid money for jeans like them.
"That's alright. I'm too old to wear some of the clothing in these boxes ... plus, I don't wear belt buckles. The only things I'd like are the socks and briefs."
Picking Xemnas in briefs, Axel blinked and shook his head. Xemnas wasn't a bad looking man, but he was old enough to be Axel's father and since Axel's biological father stopped giving a shit about him, Xemnas had sort of become a father figure to Axel.
"So, there are only two boxes?"
"Actually, there are 15, you just came late."
"Oh."
The first box didn't have much, but it gave Axel an idea.
"It's really only dress shirts and dress pants, I think."
"... Think there would be a suit jacket or something?"
"In one of the boxes, yeah, why?"
"I have a plan, but I'd need a white button up, a suit jacket, black dress pants, a red tie, black shoes and something white big enough to fit over my head."
The look on Xemnas face made Axel laugh so hard his stomach and face started to hurt. He knew that even if he explained himself, Xemnas still wouldn't understand and the idea of leaving Xemnas in the dark about this situation was too tempting.
It didn't take them long to go through the boxes. Xemnas found more than just socks and underwear that he was interested in and soon had a wardrobe of very stylish suits and even a pair of jeans - the only pair that were simple, light and plain. He had given Axel all of the jeans that came in his size and Roxas' size, and they even found Axel a nice waistcoat. Axel had laughed and put it on over his white t-shirt, asking Xemnas how odd he looked. Xemnas wiggled his eyebrows and told him he should go see Roxas in that outfit.
By the end of it, Axel had two boxes full of clothing. Jeans, belt buckles, a pair of leather gloves, under shirts, a few button up shirts and even a checkered belt for Roxas. Axel had thanked Xemnas over and over again and it got to the point where when Xemnas heard the sound "th" come out of Axel's lips, he'd give him a gentle swat to the head and smile, telling Axel that it was really no problem and that he was like a son to him so why shouldn't he give him this stuff? Plus, it was free.
Bringing the boxes upstairs, Axel managed to open the door without dropping anything.
"Roxas, I brought clo-"
"Ah!"
"Ah?!"
"Dammit, Axel! You scared me again."
"Sorry. I brought stuff home though, see!"
Placing the boxes down, Axel grinned and pointed to them.
"We even managed to find some things for yo- ... Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your outfit."
Axel looked down and shifted. It didn't exactly fit together, and Axel knew he probably looked stupid. After all, he was wearing his beat up Heelys, torn jeans, a white t-shirt and the black waistcoat that he had buttoned up.
"Ah ... Yeah, Xemnas gave me the waistcoat ... said he thought it would suit me."
"It does ... you look really, really good, Axel."
Grinning, Axel shoved his hands in his pockets and looked down.
"Fuck. Really good."
Looking up, Axel bit his lip and nodded towards the boxes.
"Don't go through them until I get back, okay? I wanna see your face when you see the stuff I picked out for you."
"Fine ... wait, where are you going?"
"Subway."
Axel was gone before Roxas could protest.
"Okay ... I'm going to leave the food here, but I'll be back shortly. Tha-"
"Don't say it, kid."
"... Thank you."
Running out the door, Axel snickered and went to his apartment.
Opening the door as quietly as he could, Axel listened to the sounds coming from the living room. He could hear the sound of Slender playing from the computer, with Roxas' occassional "Please don't kill me!"'s. Sneaking into the kitchen, Axel opened his bag and took out his sketchbook, drawing and writing on a page.
Sneaking into the living room, Axel put the page on the wall that divided the kitchen and living room and snuck back into the kitchen, making a sound so Roxas would be alerted.
"Dammit, Axel! You scared me ag- ... Axel?"
"What the hell is that?"
"Axel! That isn't funny!"
"Axel?"
Holding in his laughter, Axel went to the far end of their kitchen and stood there, staring at the entrance.
"You're such a di- Ah! Fuck!"
Axel let himself smirk as Roxas came into the kitchen and ran back out. Watching Roxas peek his head out, Axel stayed perfectly still.
"Haha, very funny. I should kick you straight in the balls, mister."
Axel briefly wondered how he was holding himself together.
"Axel ...?"
Walking closer, Roxas raised an eyebrow and looked at the man, who looked a lot like Slenderman, that was standing in his kitchen. Reaching his hand out, Roxas went to touch the strangers face, but was grabbing before he could make contact. Squeaking and pulling his hand back, Roxas shut his eyes and waited for Slenderman to kill him.
That is, until Slenderman started to laugh, and his laugh sounded a lot like his boyfriends laugh. Maybe Slender wasn't the one that was going to do the killing tonight.
"You asshole!"
Pulling the white mask off, Axel laughed and ran his hand through his hair.
"I honestly couldn't resist."
"You could have, you just didn't!"
"No, no, I really couldn't resist."
"Did you try?"
Laughing some more, Axel shook his head.
"Not really, no."
"You're such an asshole."
Pulling Roxas onto his lap, Axel leaned his head into the crook of his neck and laughed some more.
Shaking his head, Roxas tried to stand up, but feeling Axel's body shake with laughter and his breath on his neck, Roxas rolled his eyes and began to laugh as well.
"Such a dick."
"You're the one who wanted me to try cosplaying."
"Yeah, but you're not supposed to cosplay against me, you're supposed to cosplay with me!"
"Is that a cosplay rule?"
"If I say it is, will you believe me?"
Axel shook his head and smiled, kissing Roxas on the cheek and standing them both up.
"I'm going to get you back, you know that, right?"
"Yes, I know. And, I'm sure I'll be equally frightened."
"Damn right you will be."
"I have to go back to Xemnas place to get our food."
Walking to their door, Axel laughed as he felt Roxas grab his hand and glare.
"You're not leaving without me."
"Why? Afraid?"
"Shut up."
"Aw, you are."
"I will kick you in the balls, Axel."
Snickering and opening the door, Axel and Roxas walked towards Xemnas place, with Axel wondering how Roxas was going to react seeing Xemnas on the other side dressed as another Slender.
