Laying on top of Axel had become one of Roxas' favorite hobbies, especially naked when their bare skin pressed together, making it almost painfully impossible to separate, giving them excuses to be lazy and simply lay for hours on end. The kid giggled lightheartedly as he took a deep breath of relief, rubbing his eyes and moving his hand up onto his forehead, wiping away remaining sweat from the romping game the two boys had just partaken in. Axel looked down at the boy in his arms and smirked, the pressure on his chest too familiar, beautifully known to the man. He loved how the kid laughed after sex, it was amusing to him though he had to admit, at least to himself, that if anyone else had laughed after sex with him, he'd be furious. Roxas managed to pull it off.

"Damn we are so good." Roxas gasped out and slicked his hair back as he angled his head to look at the man holding him. "I just can't get over it."

"Yea, I'm great." Axel sighed sarcastically and chuckled as he took a last drag on his cigarette, reaching his arm out to place it in the ashtray.

"Damn right." The kid said as he turned over, placing the palms of his hands on the redhead's chest, gently pressing his lips against the still sticky skin. He rested his chin on Axel's sternum and peered up at him, a smile staining his face.

"Hey guess what?" Axel said as he looked over at his alarm clock, the red numbers glaring back at him. "I'm officially twenty two."

"It's your birthday today?"

"By all technicalities, yea." Axel answered with a smirk as he took a deep breath and pulled the boy up his body and wrapped his arms around him. Roxas merely wriggled out of his grasp though; over snuggling was a flaw of sleeping with Axel however. The redhead was annoyingly touchy, at least in Roxas' eyes.

"You're old." The kid laughed as he rested his hand under his face and smiled at the redhead laying next to him.

"Yea, just older than--" But Axel stopped himself, his eyes wide all of a sudden.

"What?" Roxas asked with an arched brow and Axel scoffed, looking at him with slight disbelief.

"Your birthday was like...two weeks ago. Why didn't you like...say anything?" He asked with cautiousness, in case he had said something and maybe the redhead was just an awful person and completely forgot. But the kid just shrugged as much as he possibly could laying down.

"It's not a big deal." He said with a gentle grin. It honestly wasn't. His birthday had never been made into a big deal and he didn't expect that to change at any time.

"Of course it is! God I feel bad now." Axel pursed his lips in annoyance and leaned up on his elbow, looking down at Roxas who only looked up at him with curious eyes, the most innocent he had ever seen them. It was kind of surprising.

"Why?" He legitimately could not understand why the redhead was seeming to have such an issue with forgetting his birthday. Ever since he could remember, he had spent his birthday alone, or at least mostly alone. Leon stopped by whenever he could and one year, he even took him to the bar. That was the first time he ever got to go to the bar, the first time he met Reno. That was the first time he and Leon had had sex. Roxas frowned suddenly and turned on his back to stare at the ceiling.

"Hey, you ok?" Axel asked as he laid his hand on the side of the sandy haired kid's face, making him look back over at the redhead. Roxas nodded with a crooked frown. "You're lying." Now Axel frowned, somewhat wishing he hadn't brought it up, knowing he had managed to make the kid feel bad.

"No, really. I'm fine." Roxas refocused on the ceiling as Axel bit his lip and tried to think.

"I can give you a birthday present." He said with a sly smirk as his hand laid on the boy's stomach, making him smile slightly.

"Oh really." He said sarcastically as he watched Axel move along down his body, feeling his lips press against his skin, making him bite his lip in anticipation.

"Yea. Really." Axel said between kissing until he was laying his lips on the boy's thighs, running his hands up his legs and squeezing Roxas' thighs as he put his skillful tongue to work. Gently running his tongue along the contour of Roxas' penis, smirking to himself as he heard the kid squeal and moan, wriggling under his hands as his instincts told him to move but tried to force himself to stay put. The redhead finally stopped teasing as he took the entire member into his mouth, circling his tongue around the edges, pushing it back into his throat. Roxas moaned loudly, ignoring the blush creeping across his face as he clenched the sheet beneath him. He felt the lips turn up into a smile as his hips involuntarily moved.

"Ungh..." Roxas mumbled out an incomprehensible sigh as he leaned up on his elbows, only for a moment, just to sink back down into the bed with a moaning laugh as Axel's teeth slowly scraped along him, the redhead's fingers digging deeper into his thighs, holding his waist down, his thumbs pressing and rubbing against the bones between his thighs and pelvis. The kid continued to struggle between laughing and moaning, trying to breathe, stretching his neck up and biting down on his lips, eventually finishing and tossing his head back with a soft cry that ended with a panting giggle. "You are...too good." He exclaimed, his eyes droopy now as Axel licked him clean, kissing his stomach as he came back up his body, eventually planting his lips right on top of the kid's.

"Happy birthday Roxas." He said with a smirk, making the boy laugh again.

~0~

Axel's head swam as he sat up and looked at his clock. He had to do a double take when he saw the time. He had slept for a full eight hours. Unbelievable. He hadn't slept for more than four hours since he was fifteen. He warily swiveled around on the bed, placing his feet on the carpet and getting up, walking out, only to find the kid on the couch.

"Hey." Roxas said once he saw him, grinning lightly as he pulled his knees to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs.

"Hey." The redhead responded with a smirk as he sat down next to him. They watched TV in silence until Axel decided it was now or never. "Can I ask you something?"

"Are you going to ask me to be your boyfriend?" He asked back, still watching the television nonchalantly.

"No." Axel responded with a smirk.

"Then ask away." Roxas grinned at him now.

"Well um..." He paused, unsure now of whether or not he should ask.

"Spit it out!" The kid shouted playfully, a grin still on his pretty little face.

"I was just wondering, and uh feel free to say no. Totally free to say no. But I mean, Demyx's funeral is this Saturday...and I don't think I can do it alone." Axel said quietly, focusing on his hands, intertwined as they sat on his lap. Roxas' grin faded, suddenly feeling very uncomfortable. "I just thought maybe you could come with me. I mean we don't even have to talk to anyone. I doubt anyone will want to talk to me. We can sit in the back and...I just need to go but I can't go alone."

"W-why don't you go with Marluxia?"

"Marluxia's not exactly--"

"I have to go. Um now. I have to be home and I just have to go. We can talk later ok?" Roxas interrupted and rambled as he pulled on his pants, walking towards the door and grabbed his jacket, seemingly in one fell swoop. Axel frowned lightly as he watched him scramble to get out of the apartment.

"Alright, lemme get my keys and--"

"No, don't even worry about it. It's nice. I'm gonna walk." Roxas tried to smile but found it difficult, so instead he merely opened the door and walked out. As soon as he was out of the building, he felt sick. He held his stomach with one hand, rubbing his eyes with the other.

I knew I should have gotten out of there earlier.

Axel sighed as he stared at the door, raising his hands and digging his thumbs into the corners of his eyes.

"Well..." He sighed again and stared at the door again. "That didn't go well."
