CHAPTER 7
"You ready?" Axel asked when Demyx opened the door to his house, looking a little on the tired side. Demyx only nodded tiredly and let the redhead in. "Where's your stuff so I can put them in the back of my so called crappy car?"
"In the living room," the blond replied. "Try and be quiet. Leon and Cloud are upstairs."
"Don't tell me you're sleepy because they had sex right across the hall from you."
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Why do we have to leave so early in the morning anyways?"
Axel smirked at the cute face Demyx was making and picked up the blond's duffle bag, placing it over his shoulder. He walked over and hugged the blond from behind, wrapping his arms around Demyx's waist.
"So we could spend as much time together as possible. For a minute there, I thought you had gotten my flue; thank god you didn't," the redhead said quietly, hooking his chin over Demyx's left shoulder. "Shall we hit the road?"
"Hai."
"I love it when you speak in a foreign tongue." Axel shuddered as he thought about the words he would learn during sex.
He let the blond go and left for the car, opening the trunk to put the blond's stuff in. Helping his lover into the car, he reversed out of the driveway and left for his uncle's cabin. He chuckled when he saw that his blond was asleep already, just before he hit the highway. Axel would let him sleep as long as they could, Demyx was gonna need it.
Axel bobbed his head to the beat of the song on the radio, loving it that it was Metallica. He turned it up a little and started to sing with it.
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
-
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the sandman he comes
-
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
-
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never, never land
-
Something wrongs, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of snow white
-
Dreams of war, dreams of liar
Dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
-
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
-
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never, never land
-
Now I lay me down to sleep
(Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
(Pray the lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
I pray the lord my soul to take
(I pray the lord my soul to take)
-
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise
It's just the beast under you bed,
In your closet, in your head
-
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
-
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never, never land.
Axel smirked when the song was over, wishing he had brought his guitar with him so he could play for his boyfriend. He jumped when he suddenly heard a giggle from the sleeping Demyx; only he wasn't asleep as Axel thought he was.
"You were supposed to be asleep!" He cried out in surprise when he saw that Demyx was looking straight at him with a grin.
"I woke up from your singing," the blond replied, sitting up and straightening his back from the slumped over position he was in from sleeping. "You sing pretty well."
"No, I'm terrible; just say it."
"I'm not gonna say that! I'd be lyin'! You really are good at singing!"
"You're just saying that," Axel said with a smirk, earning a snort from the blond.
"No I'm not! You are good, I suck!"
"Oh, come on. You probably don't suck that bad… everyone can at least sing a little. If I can sing well, you can too." A new song started to play. "Do you know this song?"
"Wanted dead or alive? Yeah I know it."
"Sing with it, and give it your best."
"Fine."
Demyx took a deep breath and started to sing with music.
It's all the same, only names will change
Everyday it seems were wasting away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd drive all night just to get back home
-
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
-
Sometimes I sleep; sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're all alone all you do is think
-
I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back
I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back
I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall
I've seen a million faces and I've rock them all
-
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Demyx let out a sigh and wouldn't look at the redhead, too embarrassed. Axel, on the other hand, was staring wide eyed out towards the road.
"I know, I suck," the blond mumbled.
"Actually no, you are… wow. Oh my god, I never heard with such a vibrant voice. You really are a good singer and I'm not just saying that, I'm not just sayin' that," the redhead replied, voice held amazement.
Demyx giggled nervously. "Thanks."
"Is there any other hobby you do besides singing? Just thought I might ask."
The blond thought for a moment. "Well, I like to snowboard."
"You can snowboard? I had no idea you could do that." Axel was surprised at an armless guy being able to snowboard. "Though, it's good to know that I won't be snowboarding alone."
Demyx laughed softly at that. "You seem like a sports fanatic, what else do you do?"
"I like to skateboard; do a little skateboard tricks here and there. Um, I like to do motorbike races and do trick capitations here and there. It's how I make enough money for the house and stuff. I don't mean to be cocky or anything, but I am really good."
"I should watch you some time."
The redhead smiled quickly at the blond to keep looking at the road and concentrate on driving. "You're actually the first to know about this, I haven't told anyone else. Not even Reno."
"Seriously?!"
"Yep."
"So what's the real reason you wanted to bring me out here? You didn't just bring me out here just to have fun, did you?"
"Well… that's part of the reason. But the main reason was because there's going to be a free race down the mountain tomorrow and I wanted to go. And now that I heard you could snowboard, I think it might be a cool idea if you were in it too."
"Nah, I don't really think I should, I might make you look bad."
Axel lifted an eyebrow and gave the blond a 'are you challenging me?' look. "You wanna go with this?"
"Oh, it's on," Demyx taunted just as the redhead parked outside of the cabin.
"Bring it on," Axel challenged back. "But tonight, you're all mine." He smirked when he turned the car off and leaned over to kiss the blond. Demyx smiled when the redhead's lips descended onto his, moaning when a tongue ran across his lips.
A sudden shriek made them jump apart, scaring them. Axel looked out the window and glared at what made the noise. A teenager with short black hair was waving excitedly at them. The person was obviously a yaoi fan-girl by the way she squealed and was smiling at the moment.
Axel sighed and let his head fall onto the steering wheel with a thud. "Yuffie."
"Who's that?" Demyx asked, frightened at the girl's childish behavior.
"A friend of mine when I used to live in Midgar. I was hoping she hadn't heard about the race tomorrow," Axel explained.
"Is she really a pain as you make it sound?"
"Yes. She's a fan of the guy on guy stuff. She'll do anything on getting a picture of us either kissing or actually doing it. Knowing her, she'll go for the latter. I was just so sure that she didn't know about it. It must have Vincent."
"Vincent?"
"Her older brother who is currently dating some blond named Cid Highwind. He probably did it on purpose to get rid of her for the weekend."
"It can't be that bad."
Axel suddenly lifted his head and gave his lover 'the look' (wide eyes and a small frown that makes him look scary). "Oh, it's that bad."
"Hey you guys! I've been waiting for hours you Axel!" Yuffie yelled out, pressed against the driver's window. "Come on Axel, I promise I won't do anything!"
"Yeah right, what's the catch?!" The redhead said with a glare when he rolled down his window.
"Well, I get to video tape of you and your boyfriend kissing. That's all I want… for now. The next time though, I get to video tape you and your boyfriend having sex!"
"Fine," Axel grumbled. He helped Demyx out of the car and then got out himself. The blond walked around the front of the car to Axel's side and waited for instructions of what to do.
"Good; now kiss him like you've never kissed him before. I want it all passionate!" She took out her camera and started video taping it. "Go ahead."
Axel sighed and cupped Demyx's cheek before leaning in quickly. Yuffie squealed when their lips touched, zooming in their faces. It was just lips touching before the redhead poked his tongue into the blond's mouth. Demyx opened his mouth wider and moaned as the taller teen took control of the kiss. The blond rubbed his tongue against his lover's and pressed up against him.
Axel moved his mouth against the blond's and cupped the back of Demyx's head to pull him closer. The blond smirked and sucked on the redhead's tongue, pulling it into his mouth after the tall teen had sucked his bottom lip. He felt like he was in the manga Haru wo Daiteita (I love that yaoi manga).
The kiss lasted for several minutes before Axel finally pulled back from a dazed blond. He glared at Yuffie.
"You satisfied?" The redhead grumbled.
"Oh yes! That was fricken hot!" She cried out in joy.
"Good, now leave so I can molest my perfectly lustful boyfriend."
"Ok, ok, don't have a hissy fit." She put her camera into her shoulder bag and made her way up the snow cover street towards the lodge.
Axel huffed and grabbed his and Demyx's stuff, carrying them into the cabin before going back out and dragging a still dazed blond into it. Tonight was gonna be a long and sweaty night.
A/N: dudes and dudettes, I hope you liked the story so far. Please review. Will be yaoi smex in next chapter!
