Ewonsama: Levi's being mean and won't let me be lazy.
Leven: It's because I love you and want you to have a great ass. Oh and for the people that read my story Abandoned, I finally got a new computer so I'm back to working on that :3
Roxas rubbed his sweaty hands on his pants. He didn't know what would appear on the screen. If he was there then there would be no explanation for why he was in this world, and if he wasn't then why wasn't the whole gaming community in an uproar yet?
"Okay now all I have to do is pick my profile." Sora said feeling a little uneasy with the whole. He clicked his data and waited for it to load. The screen turned black for a moment but to both the teens, it felt like hours.
"Roxas." Sora gasp, his baby blue eyes wide with disbelief. "Roxas look at the screen. Look, it's...it's..." Sora pointed to the screen at the little character standing on the save point. "It's you."
Roxas's jaw dropped open as he watched pixel-Roxas run around the screen. How was that possible?
"Try making a new profile." Roxas suggested, "Maybe I'm only there because the game saved me there."
Sora went back to the main menu and did as Roxas suggested. The game loaded up and the beginning theme started to play. "What does this even mean then?" Sora asked more to himself than to Roxas.
As soon as the opening was over, the game should a young blond sitting on his bed, looking out the window without clue to the heartless that would soon threaten his land.
Roxas didn't answer right away, his blue eyes focused on his dopplinger on the screen. Then he noticed something off about pixel-Roxas. His movement was too stuff, his smile didn't reach his eyes, and his eyes were a shad or two too dark.
"That's not me. That's not my world." The hero looked over at Sora in aw, "The games aren't connected to each other. This isn't my world."
"That's weird." He said watching as the other Roxas ran outside to watch people in his village trade items. "Roxas that doesn't make sense. What do you mean it's not your world?"
"That's not my home." Roxas stated as he pointed at the TV like it would prove his point, "Its close. Really close. But it's not the same thing. I don't know how to explain it, but Axel's game isn't like the rest."
Sora roamed around the village. "But this is how the game has always been. How can his be different? Maybe it just looks different because you're on the other side?" He made the pixel Roxas jump up a flight of stairs and into an item shop. "Nothing's change."
"I've lived there my whole life and had to go through the levels time and again because the players made me. I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about. No don't go over there, the items behind the counter." The hero instructed the brunette with an annoyed pout on his face.
"Okay!" Sora snapped and did as he was told. He could normally handle someone with a small attitude but he hated it when someone told him how to play a game he's play every day since it came out. He's beaten it plenty of times. He may not know everything but he wanted to learn things on his own. He would glad take Roxas' instructions if he wasn't giving him an attitude.
Roxas could sense how irritated his friend was getting, "I'm sorry Sora." He slouched in his seat. It was just annoying to watch someone aimlessly run around. He didn't like it when Axel and players before him did that.
Sora put his controller down, looks down at his lap, and then at Roxas with apologetic eyes. "I'm sorry I snapped at you. It's just, I'm not really playing this data you know? It was just a test so I was trying to look around just in case you noticed anything that could help."
He picked up the remote and handed to the blond hero. "Did you want to try? You do know everything so maybe you could go to places I haven't been to yet." He suggested with an encouraging smile. Give it a try Rox."
The hero picked up the controller and navigated himself around the map. He went towards an area where he remembered a glitch, but he couldn't find it. Roxas growled in frustration as he moved pixel-Roxas around trying to get the treasure the glitch provided, "it's not here..." The blond finally realized, "That's proof it isn't my world."
"What's not there?" Sora asked watching as the mini Roxas moved around for a while longer before sighing laying back on his bed.
"There's a treasure here. It was made by a glitch. Maybe that's what made my game different." Roxas said as he gave up and put the controller down and laid beside his friend, "What if I'm only here because my software's messed up?"
Sora turned his head so he could look at his friend. "Would that really be such a bad thing? We would have never met and I for one, am glad you're here."
Roxas looked taken aback. Wide blue eyes looked towards Sora, "I'm sorry if I offended you! I really am. I'm just curious with what happened."
Sora snickered and sat up. "You didn't offend me. I sorta understand how you feel, but Roxas I mean what I said. I'm glad you're here and I know Axel is probably thrilled. He's probably pacing around his apartment as we speak; just waiting for you to come home."
Sora sent him wink before turning the game and system off. He turned his TV off and spun around to poke Roxas in the gut. "I think you should tell him how you feel Roxas. And maybe about how my game and his are different. But mostly about how you feel."
Roxas sighed and rolled off the bed and didn't stop till he was under the piece of furniture. Just Sora mentioning his feelings sparked something in the hero that made his face heat up and parts of his body stir.
Sora laughed and crawled on the floor. He extended his arm under the bed and randomly touched Roxas' arm. "Come on Roxas, you better tell him before I invite him over and tell himself."
Sora chuckled darkly, hoping his threat would work and get the blond to come out from hiding. "I mean it Roxas, I'll do it."
The blond flailed around for a moment then pulled himself back together. With a dejected moan Roxas rolled out from under the bed and looked at Sora with sad eyes, "I just don't want to get his hopes up; mine too."
Sora gave him a sad smile. "I was joking, but I got you out of there right? Roxas, either way it's going to hurt you guys. See if you don't tell each other how you feel and then you do leave; what will hurt more? Never saying anything to each other or; saying something that will put your minds at ease if only for a little while?"
"I guess you're right." Roxas smiled at the boy who was quickly forming into his best friend, "What would I do without you, Sora?" The blond jokingly asked.
"I'll tell you one thing," Sora laughed and pulled a chocolate bar rapper out of blond spikes, "You wouldn't have trash in your hair." He laughed and was soon joined by the blond.
Roxas shifted nervously outside Axel's apartment door. Sora had sent him back to the redhead's home ten minutes ago and the blond had yet to even knock on the door. His heart was pounding in his chest at the thought of having to confess to Axel.
A small fist rose up, ready to hit the large hunk of wood, but the blond hesitated. He brought his hand down and instead leaned forward till his head smacked the door, "Oww..." Roxas didn't hit the door hard enough to hurt but the sound came out of habit.
The door's lock clicked from the other side. The handle turned and the door slowly opened. The blond fell forward onto the hard chest of Axel. The redhead dropped some papers while he caught the off guard blond. "Roxas?" He asked feeling confused. "What are you doing?" He chuckled gazing down into the flushed face.
"I don't even know anymore." Roxas mumbled into Axel's shirt. He pulled away and tilted his head so he was looking up at the redhead. The man's smile was infectious as the hero felt his lips pull upwards. "Did you have fun while I was gone?"
Axel leaned down to peck Roxas' forehead. "No, not really. I think I would have had more fun if you were here." He chuckled and bent down to pick up the fax he got from Zexion. "I was about to go and get you." Axel stood up and stepped aside for Roxas to get inside. He then closed the door behind him and led the blond toward the living room. He sat down and looked at Roxas while patting the space next to him.
The hero gingerly sat down next to the man and placed his head on a broad shoulder so he could read the paper in Axel's hands.
Two pairs of eyes scanned over the paper. Between the rambling and large words that neither Axel nor Roxas could fully make out most of the time, they decided to call the brainiac man and have him translate his work.
Axel pulled out his cell phone as dialed Zexion's number. "Honestly, all he really has to say that it's possible to fix your ship or not." Axel groaned as the phone kept ringing until it was finally answered. "What the fuck is this shit you faxed? I can't understand a word."
"Hello, Axel, how am I? Oh I'm tired and late for work." Zexion grumbled on the other line.
"Would you just tell us what you found out?" Axel sighed into the phone. He gave Roxas a quick glance before he added, "please?"
The man on the other line mumbled curses to the redhead before answering, "No, the ship is not fixable. I looked at every logical aspect of it and it's just simply not doable with our physics. I'm sorry, I did the best I could. Now if you'll excuse me I'm late for work." Then just like that the line went dead.
Axel cursed and shut his phone. He was feeling mixed emotions. On one end he was glad it couldn't be fixed. It just meant Roxas had to stay with him. On the other end, he felt bad knowing just how much his little blond wanted to go home. He couldn't keep him from where he wanted to be. Axel wanted to make him happy. Now that Zexion has given his input he didn't know what to do. He frowned and stuck his phone into his front pants pocket.
He hesitantly looked up at Roxas. He knew he was nervous. He knew he wanted to know if he could finally go home, back to his world. Back to keeping everyone safe from the heartless that threaten the worlds in the game. He knew all this but didn't know how he was going to tell him.
Axel heaved a heavy sigh. He got up and picked up the game case that held the place where the hero came from. He turned to Roxas with a sad smile. "Roxas...Zexion told me what he found out."
Roxas was at the edge of his seat as he looked up at his player. But suddenly he looked down with a faint blush on his face, "Umm...Axel? Before you tell me what Zexion said, can I tell you something first?
The hero stood up and walked towards Axel and hugged the man around the waist, "This probably isn't the greatest timing, but Sora made me realize something. I like you Axel, probably more than I should." A weak laugh left Roxas as he buried his face in the inviting chest.
Axel's heart immediately started to pound against his chest. His green eyes went wide and his mouth a slightly open. He was in such a state of shock that he dropped the game case at their feet. He looked down at the hero's head. He wanted to look into his eyes so he knew he wasn't being messed with. "Wh-what did you just say?"
"Mph ick ew." The hero's words were muffled by the shirt. He pulled away so he could look in to piercing green eyes, "I like you." And before Axel could react in anyway in anyway, Roxas leaned up and kissed him full on the lips.
Axel's heart melted. All perversely thoughts washed away. All he could think and feel was Roxas. His body against his. His lips pressed on his. His smell hitting his senses causing his skin to crawl and heat up. He never thought that Roxas would like him even though they've kissed before. He felt happy at that moment.
The player bent down and kissed the hero back. He wrapped his arms around his waist, lifting him up to his level. The kiss was long and sweet. He kept all and any lust he felt at bay and focus on giving Roxas the most passionate kiss he will ever feel. He slowly pull away, keeping only an inch of space between them. He couldn't stop smiling as he gazed into half lidded blue eyes.
Roxas laughed at how cliché the whole scene was. He wrapped his arms around Axel's neck and his legs around the man's waist to keep the closeness forcing the player to back up and sit on the couch so he wouldn't lose his balance.
"What did Zexion say?" Roxas whispered not wanting to break the relaxed atmosphere.
The soft look in Axel's eyes changed to sadness. His hold on Roxas loosened. The nice feeling around couldn't last like he wished it could. Axel sighed, he couldn't look Roxas in the eye. "Before I tell you, you don't want to know how I feel?" He asked looking at the blond with a suppressed laugh. He knew Roxas knew just from the way he reacted to his own confession. He was trying stall and at the same time wanted to speak how he felt.
With a lopsided grin Roxas eagerly nodded his head, "I want you to say it." He moved his hands up so they were now playing with bright red strands of hair.
Axel took a deep breath to shut butterflies in his stomach up. He didn't know if he should lie and say he just liked him. Or if he should tell him that he loved him. He didn't want to scare the blond away by saying the L word but at the same time he didn't want to lie. "You're not going to run off are you?" He asked trying to make sure he had his word.
To show he wasn't going to leave Roxas let go of Axe's hair and wrapped his arms around the man's neck again and gave him a firm squeeze, then leaned forward and gave the man a quick peck on the lips, "I won't go anywhere."
Axel smiled and gave the hero a kiss back. Taking one last deep breath and resting his hands on Roxas' hips, the red head confessed his true feelings. "Roxas, from the moment you appeared I thought you were some weirdo trying to rob me. You got on my nerves and I got on yours. The moment I made you cry I wanted hit myself. When we first embraced I knew I felt something that I shouldn't have.
In the pool I thought I would never see my favorite character blush as many times as you did. You are so different from what I thought you would be. It's not a bad different either.
When I asked if you would stay and you rejected me I felt hurt. When you asked me later that day if you could stay I wanted to laugh because you didn't remember me asking you.
Our date yesterday, it was one of the best dates I've ever been on. I don't care if we got weird looks, or if I had to explain things to you. Yesterday, I didn't want it to end. I didn't want you to go to Sora's last night. I wanted you to stay with me but I didn't want to keep you from making any friends.
Your confession to me," he paused and chuckled. "It made me the happiest, crappy player on earth. Roxas you have no idea how happy you made me, because..." He bit his lip, feeling nervous again. He gulped and forced out his words. "What I'm trying to say is, even though this is only the third day...I know for a fact that I love you, Roxas."
Roxas felt his mouth go dry. He knew Axel cared for him a lot, but love? He was thrown through a loop with that.
But the young hero wasn't afraid of the confession like Axel feared. In fact Roxas felt like he was about to explode from how happy it made him. He wished he could say all of that right back to the redhead but was nervous that Axel wouldn't take him seriously and only think Roxas said it back because he had.
Axel was starting to fear he broke the teen. Roxas didn't say anything and only stared at him. He cursed himself for not lying and saying he only liked him. "Roxas?" He said worriedly.
"I-I'm sorry," The blond said as he shook his head to kick his mind back into gear. When he stopped his erratic movement he noticed the sad, rejected look on Axel's face. Roxas quickly realized his mistake and gasped at his stupidity.
"Oh, shit. I didn't mean it like that! I meant I'm sorry I didn't respond, I was just shocked, but not in a bad way. In fact I'm the happiest I've been my whole life right now!" Small hands grabbed the sides of Axel's face so Roxas could properly look at the man, "Thank you, Axel." The hero kissed the stunned man yet again. In that moment he knew he'd never get tired of Axel's lips.
He knew he shouldn't have expected more out the hero. He wished he could have said it back to him but just knowing that the blond wasn't rejecting him was good enough. He kissed Roxas back, tightening his hold on him. He pulled Roxas' body as close as he could to his own. The kiss stared to change as Axel sucked on Roxas's lower lip, gently nipping at it before he would go back for more of those soft lips against his own. He knew he should pull away. He could feel himself getting harder and I didn't help that Roxas's ass was right on top of his happy friend.
Roxas pushed himself closer to Axel so that there was no space in between them. The hero parted his lips and let the redhead slip his tongue inside his mouth. A moan left the teen's mouth but was swallowed by Axel.
Soon Roxas felt his body heat up. Feeling Axel grow and rub against him wasn't helping at all. All too suddenly Roxas pulled away and rolled off of Axel so he was now sitting beside the player. Both were out of breath and panting but large smiles threatened to split both their faces in two.
Axel cupped Roxas cheek, gently caressing it as if he could break the soft flesh. He leaned forward for another kiss and then sat back. He felt restricted by his pants but didn't dare do anything. He had a feeling Roxas wasn't ready for anything like what he wanted.
The only thing that brought his mood down and his hard on, was having to tell Roxas's about the gummi blocks. "Roxas." He said once he caught his breath. "About what Zexion found..."
"He couldn't find a way to fix it couldn't he?" Roxas asked with a quiet monotone voice. His gaze left Axel's face and towards the discarded blocks in the corner of the living room.
A dejected sigh left Roxas's lips, but in a blink of an eye a smile spread on the hero's face and he laughed, "That's kind of a weight off my shoulders, or I guess in this case my heart."
"I'm sorry Roxas. I know how much you wanted to go home." Axel put a hand on the blond' should, giving it a light squeeze. "If I could figure out a way to help you get home, believe me I would try to make it happen." Axel's voice got lower and his hand left the hero's shoulder.
"I don't want you to leave but if you still want to then I swear that I'll try to look for a way to make it happen." The player said, making Roxas look at him. His hands were on his face, thumbs rubbing his cheeks. The player's face and voice were completely serious. He wanted to let and show Roxas that he meant every word. "I love you, but if going back meant you'd be happy, then so be it."
Roxas leaned into the gentle touch, "I'm happy to be here. I'd rather be with you than there, but I wish I didn't have the Keyblade so I wouldn't have to worry about them. Maybe..." The hero trailed off as he looked towards Axel's TV. He thought back to earlier that day at Sora's. Maybe he could find a way to check up on his world every once in a while to make sure everyone was okay.
"Hey Axel, can we turn your game on real quick?"
Axel pulled his hands back and got up. He went over to the system, turn it and the TV on, and slipped the disc inside. "Roxas? Do you have an idea?" He asked setting back next to the blond. He was more than happy to do whatever he asked after hearing him say he wanted to stay more than go home.
Roxas sucked in a large breath as he told Axel about everything that happened that morning at Sora's. He explained how they turned on Sora's copy of the game to see if it would still work and it wasn't like Axel's game and Roxas's world at all.
"I want to see if there's any way we can get in contact with anyone on your game so I can make sure everything's okay." Roxas finished.
It took a few seconds for everything to sink in. Axel picked up the remote and loaded his data. "It's worth a try." He said standing up and watched as the screen changed to show the inside of the inn again. The saving point once again empty of any life.
The pair stared at the screen, waiting for anything to happen. Maybe a NPC walk by or anything. Roxas would even settle for a Heartless at this point.
The hero sighed in defeat and leaned against Axel, "I don't think anything's gonna happen."
Axel gave Roxas a comforting side hug. "I'm sorry Roxas. Maybe if we leave it on for a while something will happen. For now how about a bite to eat?"
"You're probably right." Roxas said as he stood up. He shuffled into the kitchen with the tall redhead close behind him. The hero sat at the island and watched as Axel prepared a small lunch for them.
Axel chuckled as he made them a couple of sandwiches. He grabbed a bag of chips from the cabinet and tossed them to Roxas, who caught them before they smacked him in the face. "Good catch." The player said fishing the through the fridge for something to drink. "Do you want water, OJ, beer?" He laughed knowing he was too young for that. "Or milk. Sorry I don't have more to pick from. I'm used to just having to feed myself." He rubbed the back of his head. "Maybe I should start shopping for two." He lightly laughed.
The hero tore the bag open and started to pour some of the salty treat onto two plates, "Milk sounds good. I can always help with the shopping you know. You don't have to do everything."
'Do not jump him, do not jump him.' Axel repeated with his back facing the blond. He got out two glasses and poured some milk for the both of them. "Some of our food night be different than what you're used to."
Axel put the glasses on the table, went back to the counter and placed their sandwiches on the plates. He took a set opposite of the hero, took a chip, and munched on it. "Roxas, I need to ask you something." He said with a serious look on his face.
Roxas took a bite out of his food as he gave the redhead a questioning look instead of a verbal response since his mouth was full.
Axel shifted around in his seat and reach out to take one of Roxas' hands. His thumb rubbed over the top of him soft, smooth skin in small circles. Emerald eyes soften yet still held the seriousness from before. "Roxas, I was wondering if, maybe you would want to," he paused trying to calm his nerves. "If you would go out with me."
Roxas's eyes widened. He dryly swallowed the food in his mouth. The hero was lightly shaking from nerves. But he finally managed to open his mouth and force out a single word.
"Yes."
Axel smiled, got up and walked over to Roxas. He tilted his head up, hand under his chin, and kissed him. The new happy couple kissed a few more times before going back to eating, blissfully unaware of what was going on in the living room.
Inside the TV screen, where the game was still on, the NPCs of that world felt a signal going off in their heads. It was like a small tingle under their left eyes. The same feeling someone would get from their foot falling asleep. It let them know that the game was now active and that they needed to play their parts whenever the screen came into view of them. Other than that, most of the NPCs would wander around freely. None of them were even aware that their hero was missing. None but those closest to him.
Sitting alone on a rock by the river bank, was a petite blond with sky blue eyes. She sighed to herself, wishing her friend would come and visit her soon. It had been three days since she had last seen him and yet she didn't know where he was. But then she felt the signal again. Before giving her hopes up, the blond wait a few minutes. When the buzzing sound didn't go off, that meant the player didn't turn off the game as fast as he did the other day.
The girl, known as Naminé, hopped off the rock and rushed to where she knew the screen would be. She didn't care about breaking any rules. She didn't care if she got in trouble. All she cared about was going to see her best friend.
Naminé raced through the village and past various town folk. She apologized when she bumped into someone but it was rushed. As soon as she made it to her destination, she was a panting mess. Taking a short time to compose herself, the girl entered the inn and froze at the door. The screen was facing the empty saving point. There was no Roxas to be found.
She hesitantly stepped over to the screen and called out to her friend. "Roxas?" When nothing happened she faced the screen itself.
"Roxas?" She tried again in a small voice. Her wide blue eyes looked straight ahead like she could see out of her square prison and into the living room. "Roxas are you there?"
Again when nothing happened, the girl sighed. It even bothered her that the player didn't turn off the game thinking she was a glitch. With sluggish feet, Naminé left the inn and head to Chip and Dale's shop. She only hoped that they knew where her best friend went.
