Roxas: so Kit is still trying to catch Axel and shave his head. She said if she gets 2 more reviews she'll stop… :: Axel runs by clutching his hair, Roxas sweat drops::
Axel: Roxas save me! :: Kit runs into the room with razor in hand ::
Me: Help him and you get shaved too! :: Roxas runs away with Axel::
Meh I'm tired, I'll catch them later. I feel like this story might be coming to the end soon, mainly because I already have the ending in mind! I think maybe four or more chapters until then. We'll see what happens. Warning this chapter will contain smexy stuff (Lemon)! If you don't like don't read. Flamers will be shot, reviewers will get cookies! (And I'm a pastry chef, so I make great cookies!)
Xaldin explained everything as they walked into the village and lifted his sleeve to reveal his new tattoo. Luxord gently followed the swirling feather pattern with a finger and smiled at his love. "I like it." Axel snorted softly as the two exchanged loving looks, and looked over at Roxas. His blond was staring at the ground and Axel got the feeling he was feeling a little down. He threw an arm over his shoulder and grinned at him. Roxas smiled back a little as they went into the village inn.
The inn was a nice looking two-story building, with a tavern and kitchen on the bottom floor and rooms for guests upstairs. The basement held a bathing room with a large hot spring that was maintained by an old magic spell. A little stable stood next to the building and Luxord had a stable boy take it inside, after the group retrieved their belongings. There were even some gambling tables in the tavern area, and the room had quite a few people in it, who all welcomed Xaldin enthusiastically.
Luxord explained that he and Xaldin owned the inn together and the group was more than welcome to stay there free of charge. Xaldin walked into the kitchen to fix lunch and Luxord took them upstairs to the rooms. He apologized that he only had two rooms left so the group would have to share.
Axel shrugged it off and walked into one the rooms, dropping his stuff onto the bed and stretching. There was a sigh behind him and he turned to give Roxas a curious look. The blond was sitting on the other bed just staring out the window. The two beds rested against opposite walls and a pair of chests, for their stuff, sat at the foot of each bed. There was a night stand near the door with a mirror, basin, pitcher of water, and a clean white towel resting on it.
Axel sat on his bed and gave the blond a worried look. "Is something wrong? You look depressed." Roxas shook his head. "I guess I just feel bad for dragging all of you into this." Axel laughed and flapped his hand. "Meh it was our choice to make the contracts so you didn't drag us into anything. Got it memorized?" Roxas laughed and they went downstairs for lunch.
After lunch they wanted to go practice, and Xaldin led them into a walled off area near the inn. The walls were high enough to obscure the area inside, which was nothing but a hard-packed dirt field. A few other men were sparring with weapons when they entered, but they left when Xaldin asked. "The walls here will keep anyone from seeing us. It's better if no one here learns about our powers. The villagers are mostly trustworthy, but we shouldn't take any chances." They all agreed and settled down to training.
The first hour or so was spent helping Xaldin learn his new power and work on control, and then they sparred. Axel threw a fire chakram at Xaldin who knocked it away with a gust of wind and Xigbar shattered it into pieces with a well shot lightning bolt. Axel grinned and shaped all the little pieces into smaller blades, but Demyx put them out with a flood of water bubbles. Then Xaldin scooped them all up and dropped them onto the ground with another gust. Axel rubbed his sore behind and retaliated with a hail of fireballs.
It was fully dark by the time they stopped and they were grateful when Xaldin led them to the bathing room. After the bath they sat down to a relaxing dinner. Luxord got them involved in a game of black jack, except for Roxas who claimed he was tired and went upstairs. It was fairly late when Axel climbed back up the stairs to bed. The room was dark and he tired to be quiet so as not to disturb Roxas. He slipped off his boots and shirt, wanting to sleep in only his pants. After removing his lock picks from his hair he set them down on the chest at the foot of his bed and lay down.
He was just starting to drift off when he felt someone sit on his bed. He opened his eyes and marveled at how the blue eyes in front of him glowed and sparkled in the moonlight coming in through the window. Even his skin seemed to glow and Axel was glad it was dark enough to hide his blush, since the blond was only wearing pants. "Roxas what amph fumph hermph?" The rest of his sentence was reduced to gibberish as the blond kissed him. He was shocked at the forcefulness and passion in that kiss, but quickly responded in kind.
Warning Lemon alert! Warning Lemon Alert! Warning Lemon Alert! Warning Lemon Alert!
They broke for air and Axel moaned softly as Roxas started kissing and biting gently at his neck. Then Roxas moved to straddle his waist and Axel hissed in pleasure as their growing erections rubbed together. He grabbed a handful of blond hair in one hand and tugged gently, as his other hand ran down the blonde's naked back. Roxas shivered slightly above him and bit harder into his neck causing the red-head to hiss again. He felt his back arching and his eyes closed as Roxas began to move, rubbing his groin against Axel's own. "Axel…" At the sound of his name, he opened his eyes again and those blue eyes were clouded over in pleasure. He grinned and nipped gently at the blonde's neck, and when he moaned Axel made his move.
He flipped the blond onto his back and knelt between his legs. He ignored the little yip of surprise and captured Roxas' lips in another kiss. The blond met his passion with equal force and moaned softly into his mouth when Axel stroked a hand down his length. The blond wiggled under him and Axel could feel his hands tugging at his pants.
Grinning at the unspoken request he slipped the last of his clothing off while Roxas did the same. Leaning over his blond again he rubbed their naked erections together and shivered in delight when Roxas' back arched and he moaned. He began kissing down his torso pausing briefly to lick and tease the little pink nipples. When he felt hands clutched into his hair he rolled his eyes upward to look at the blonde's face. His eyes were closed and he was panting softly.
Axel lifted one hand and let two of finger slip into Roxas' open mouth, who sucked at them greedily. He kissed his way back up to the others neck, and pulled his fingers out of his mouth to kiss him again. He felt the blonde's tongue against his mouth and happily allowed him entrance. Their tongues danced around each other, and Axel rubbed his moistened fingers against Roxas' entrance.
Roxas tensed and Axel froze remembering. He pulled away quickly. "I'm sorry! I forgot… I didn't mean…" Fingers against his lips shut him up and he stared at the blond beneath him. "It's okay Axel. I was just surprised." The blond took kissed him gently and pushed his hand back to his entrance. "I want you. Please?" Axel gently slipped a finger inside and waited as Roxas tensed again before he relaxed. Using his other hand to brace himself he leaned down and sucked gently at the blonde's neck. Roxas moaned and Axel began to slowly work his finger in and out, while sucking a little harder at his neck.
He added a second finger making gentle scissoring motions, and shivering as Roxas grabbed at his hair again his moans getting louder. He bit gently into his lover's neck as he added a third finger, working with his blonde's hole, stretching and preparing it. Roxas moaned his name again and he pulled his fingers out with a little pop. Pressing himself against the hole he looked into those blue eyes again and pushed. Roxas made a pained noise and he pulled painfully at Axel's hair.
Axel grunted and pushed a little more, gently easing himself into the blonde's body. He stopped when he was fully sheathed and listened to the little pants of his lover. Roxas pulled him down into a quick kiss and whispered seductively against his lips. "Make love to me." Needing no further encouragement Axel began moving. Slowly at first, then faster as his lovers moans egged him on. In and out he went, faster and harder and deeper, he found his rhythm and felt that delicious heat building in his belly. Then the singing started and he almost faltered.
What is? Wait that's…that's my voice… my heart…it's singing…
He smiled in wonder and when his green eyes met Roxas' blue ones a second voice joining with heart did make him falter. "Don't stop!" Roxas panted and Axel realized he knew this voice too. It belonged to Roxas! Their hearts were singing together! He felt the blond moving with him and the heat was still building, threatening to explode.
Almost…almost… And they came together as their hearts sang one final triumphant note.
Panting from exertion Axel pulled out and flopped onto his side next to his lover. Their eyes met and they both smiled. "We're going to need another bath." Axel chuckled. "Go right ahead if you can move." Roxas laughed back.
End of Lemon! End of Lemon! End of Lemon! End of Lemon! End of Lemon! End of Lemon!
It was a while before either of them could get up and they slipped downstairs to clean up. When they made it back to the room they grabbed their pants from the floor and slipped them on before going back to bed, this time together. Axel fell asleep cuddling his little blond love close and fell into dreams.
Format for the dream sequence will be a little different. Thinking will be underlined.
He was sitting on the edge of a tall building. He was looking out over a huge town. Behind him was the face of an enormous clock. One leg dangled in the air and the other was resting on the ledge with the knee up. He was resting one arm on his knee and the other hand was holding a strange blue treat on a stick. He was wearing black pants and boots, and a long black cloak that was closed with a strange metal chain. Silver chains dangled from the front of his cloak.
What is this? And what the heck am I wearing?
He took a bite of the blue thing and the first thing he noticed was that it was frozen. Then a combination of salty and sweet flavors exploded over his tongue.
What the hell?
His dream self seemed unaffected and turned his head when his name was called. Roxas was sitting next to him wearing the same weird outfit. Both of his feet were hanging over the edge, and he had another of those blue frozen treats in his hand. They both watched as it dripped.
"Axel do you think we'll ever be whole again someday? That we'll have hearts?"
Axel opened his mouth,
We do have hearts! What are you talking about?
"Sure we will! Then we'll Somebodies instead of Nobodies! You'll see real soon."
What the heck? What am I talking about?
"I don't know Axel. I don't think I can wait much longer."
Roxas stood up and let his treat fall down the side of the building, before he stepped back and turned his back on Axel. "I think my time is up."
Axel dropped his treat too and jumped up. "What are you saying Rox? Roxas?"
The blond turned, and began to change in front of his eyes. He found himself staring at a spiky brunette wearing large red and black shoes, black short pants, a black shirt, and red jacket that was open in the front. Silver chains crossed over the jacket and a chain with a crown pendant hung from his neck. His blue eyes were cold. "Roxas doesn't exist anymore."
Who the hell are you! What did you do to Roxas!
Light blossomed in the brunette's hand and a large key shaped sword appeared. "Nobodies shouldn't exist." He swung his key sword at Axel and knocked him off the ledge and he fell screaming for Roxas.
Axel sat up gasping, his eyes wide in fright. What the hell…stupid messed up nightmare. He flopped back down closing his eyes and rolled over to snuggle with his blond again…who wasn't there. His eyes snapped open and he sat up to survey the room. Roxas wasn't there at all, even his boots and clothes were missing. Getting up he quickly slipped on his boots and shirt and grabbing his cloak, sped out the door just in time to hear the front door of the inn close with a soft click. Dashing quietly down the stairs he slipped out the door and caught a glimpse of bright yellow ducking around the corner of the building. He shot after it and stared in shock at the bobbing blond head, as Roxas ran across the fields and out of the village.
Whew, another chapter over and done. I know I suck at lemons, it was so crappy. Please don't shoot me. The story is getting to the good stuff soon and we're so close to the final confrontation, when all of our boys get to be deliciously badass. I'm getting tingly just thinking about it. So give me your opinions and I'll try to have the next chapter out soon. Ta Ta for now!
