Chapter 7- Keep it Low

13th April 1914-7:30am

The feeling of being wrapped in Axel's arms was amazing, the warmth and the protection I felt couldn't be explained in words. He was still sleeping of course, but I couldn't sleep, not when I had the arms of the man I loved around me. I know, to some, saying that I love him may be a step too far considering I've only known him for only a few days. However, I do believe in love at first sight, and that's what I felt with Axel. Love at first sight.

"Go to sleep." Axel mumbled, his eyes still closed, I smiled mentally.

"I can't besides, it's half 7." I said, Axel just groaned.

"Axel, about last night..."

"Yes, what about last night" Axel murmured, I bit my lip nervously.

"So, are we...together?"

Axel got out of bed and sat on the floor in front of me, his eyes tired and his hair messy. He smiled slightly.

"Roxy, just before you start thinking about relationships and all, I want to let you know, that I kinda' kissed you for an experiment..."

Anger welled up inside me; he kissed for an experiment, not because he wanted to? How dare he?

"How dare you Axel! Who do you think you are? Do you go around kissing random people for an experiment?" I shouted, happy that Axel's mother, Dorothy, wasn't here to hear this. And that was when the tears started coming, and wouldn't stop. "You mislead me to think that you actually liked me? That's vulgar Axel, even for a disgusting man like you..."

I got out of the bed before Axel could stop me, and ran out of the door as quick as I could.

I ran till I reached the 1st class deck, without caring about my father finding me. I slowed down as I approached the bow of the ship, and collapsed in tears. No-one wanted me, no-one needed me, and no-one will ever think of me in the way I thought of Axel. I used to think of him being kind, considerate and fun-loving, but he was a user, and nothing more.

I looked over the edge of the ship, seeing the waves crash against the iron. I thought about the sea, the sea is beautiful, blue and refreshing...and a way to die. I peered over the edge and stood up, clinging to the railing as the sea started to look more and more attractive. It was a good idea, Axel wouldn't have to put up with me, and my parents wouldn't have to go through the embarrassment anymore. They could carry on, happily and healthily, concentrating on Cloud's marriage and father's business. I would not be a worry anymore...

I lifted my leg, ready to climb over the railing, moments from standing on the bow of the ship and moments from death.

"Stop Roxas! What on earth are you doing?" I heard Axel shout, I put my legs down on the deck, collapsing onto the deck in tears, once again.

"What did it look like?" I mumbled through the tears, Axel sat down next to me and put his arm across my shoulder.

"Were you gonna jump?" He asked me, he eyes wide with concern. I looked down, trying to hide my puffy eyes with my hair.

"I don't know..." I whispered, refusing eye contact. He shook me slightly, obviously trying to get me to open up.

"Why did you run off Roxas?" Axel said, trying to lift my head up to look at his. I stayed still and limp, acting helpless. I wasn't going to answer. Surely he couldn't be asking me that when he said the things he said...

"Answer me please..." Axel whispered, my bottom lip quivered, he wiped away my tears and lifted my chin, forcing me to look him in the eye.

"Is this because of what I said earlier?" He asked me, stroking my cheek. I nodded, holding his hand against my cheek, not letting him stop.

"I was going to say that it was the best experiment I'd ever made, that kiss was the best thing I'd ever witnessed, apart from meeting you of course." Axel smirked; I smiled at him as he leant in for a kiss. I kissed back, with more force than our last kiss. He pulled away grinning, still stroking my cheek.

"Wanna go back to our room?" Axel whispered, I nodded as he pulled me up and lead the way to his room.

Once we were in the room, he started to kiss me, chastely at first then harder as time went on. I felt him tug at my shirt, and I lifted my arms up, going with what Axel had planned. I began tugging at his shirt, unsuccessfully. I felt Axel smile into the kiss as he helped me take off his shirt, I took this opportunity to look at his body, he had a toned stomach and strong arms that he was using to push me closer to him. I heard a zipper go down, and my eyes opened wide, okay here goes...

Back to Reality

I had stopped crying by now, my mind was back in Titanic, back in the room where I had my first time...

Aqua was staring at me wide-eyed, either disgusted or surprised at me opening up to her about the first time I 'did it'. I couldn't stop the smile tugging at my lips, that was the best time of my life, apart from when I had Roxel of course...

"Y-you did it?" Aqua asked, I nodded at her as her eyes started to shrink back to normal size. "What was Dorothy doing while you were, you know"

"Axel said she was meeting up with some friends she'd made..." I smiled again, "You know, that was the best time of my life. He's Roxel's father..." I said casually, I noticed Aqua's eyes widen again.

"Does Roxel know?" She asked me, sitting on the edge of her seat.

"I told him about Axel as soon as he was 8; I figured he should know because I didn't want him to grow up not knowing who his dad was. So as soon as he was old enough to understand, I told him. Despite everything that's happened, I don't regret meeting Axel, even though our romance was very short-lived... If only he was alive..." I said, as tears started to form behind my eyelids.

A/N:

It's a short chapter, but I couldn't keep you waiting any longer. Considering that I am crap at updating my chapters on a regular basis. Anyway, I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter includes the day that the Titanic was doomed by death, and the day that Axel and Roxas' romance comes to a very sad, but abrupt end...
