Ugh, business. Ok so. Here is my epic tale of crazy: SO I wanted to try to figure out a way to like, give you folk the melody of the lullaby in the previous chapter if you wanted to hear it. But, the cd its on has crazy harmonies and like repeats and business and I'm like yeah don't want to put that up there. SO I sang it myself, (WHILE DRIVING XD) and put it online. BUT it sounded really crappy, so I rerecorded it through the computer mic this time instead of my mp3 and it sounded better, but it was a wma and I hate wmas so I tried to make it a wav and it wasn't flipping working and I still can't figure why.
SO I used this random upload site and now it's a download which isn't what I wanted so. IF you want to hear the melody, you can either:
A. Go to my old blog here: w w w . geocities. com /freaky5907 //christmas .html and scroll ALL the way down and click Special Lullabye. It comes up as a quicktime in the browser (which is what I wanted) but it sounds like crap.
OR B. go to. www. megafileupload .com /en/ file/ 44099/ TheSong-wav .html AND THEN it will be good quality, but you have to download the thing.
OR you could just ignore all that and be like whatever you crazy. And the A has car noises in the background for part, and in both my voice sounds like shite. XP
Alright I gotta get in an emo mode here for this one. I can do it! …It's not working. jsdfkljdslBEFORE I FORGET I FORGOT A STORY OF AMAZING YOU ALL SHOULD READ. It's called Tease. AND its complete, which is why I forgot about it. XD

You people spoil me. Alright! Finally, right? And yeah, this one is kinda just Axel and random dude until the end. Beware!
What If…
Roxas had to leave, and Axel sees him two years later?
((as suggested by the lurvely Zesty))
"I mean, what is it with Demyx these days?" Axel said, conversing with Roxas as they entered his room. He sat down on his bed as he continued, "I haven't seen him in centuries! He's all 'Zexy this' and 'Zexy that'… I don't even think he's came out of his room-"
"Axel," Roxas said wearily, trying to interrupt.
"I mean he's only going on a mission for pete's sake-"
"Axel."
"He's going to be coming back eventually-"
"AXEL!"
Axel was silenced, looking at Roxas in question. "Yes?"
"I'm going with him."
Axel blinked, giving him a look of surprise. "You're…what?"
"I'm going with him," Roxas clarified, "he needs a partner, and I volunteered."
"You…volunteered? Roxas, this mission is-"
"I know, two years of dedicated research. But hey, you just said that I'll be coming back eventually right?"
Axel pulled Roxas close to him, hugging him tightly. "But with you, Rox, it's totally different…"
Roxas sighed deeply, hugging Axel tightly.
"Two years…" Axel muttered into Roxas' neck, "think you'll be able to last that long without me?"
Roxas pulled back a little, smiling. "Will you?"
"Of course not," Axel said, winking, "but I'm pretty sure I'll manage." He put his right hand over his heart and made the Girl Scout promise sign with his other hand. "I'll take a vow of chastity until you return!"
Roxas laughed. "That's right, because I'm-"
"My Roxy…" Axel muttered, pulling Roxas close again. "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow…" Roxas muttered.
Axel flinched, but did not comment. "Well then," he said, smirking, "why don't we make the most of the time we have then? My vow doesn't come into effect until you leave…"
Roxas chuckled, hovering over Axel's lips. "Sounds like a plan to me."
------((Dun dun dunnnn))-------
Axel sat quietly alone in his bedroom. He's gone… he thought, slowly taking in the silence of his bedroom. How am I going to do this? He put his hands to his forehead in frustration.
"Ugh…I'm getting a headache." He smiled softly to himself. "Roxas always said that the best cure for any malady was a Sea Salt Ice Cream…"
He laughed bitterly as he stood to summon a portal.
----((poor Axel XD Don't worry, theres more trouble brewing))----
"And how many would you like sir?" The Ice Cream vendor asked as he took Axel's order.
"Two," Axel said on reflex, wincing slightly as it came out. Oh well, he shrugged, I can eat two… He thanked the vendor as he picked up his ice creams and sat down on a bench near the stand on the busy street of Twilight Town.
He sat there, contentedly watching the people walk by. This isn't the same, he thought sadly, this feels so…empty now. And he hasn't even been gone for a day yet… He didn't even flinch as a young man in baggy jeans and a T- shirt sat next to him, pulling out the comics section of the newspaper to read. There's no way I'm going to make it two years! We aren't even allowed contact! The Superior is afraid we'd 'ruin the mission…'
Axel continued his melancholy line of thoughts as the mysterious man next to him eyed him openly. The man had shaggy black hair, sharp hazel eyes, and a kanji tattoo of the word 'love' on his neck. He smiled widely, openly staring at Axel as he began a conversation.
"You don't look like you're from around here…" the stranger commented, pulling Axel out of his reverie.
"I'm just traveling through," Axel said offhandedly, easily covering for his unusual apparel.
"Well I just moved here myself," the stranger said, sticking out his hand. "I'm Shane," he said, smiling. "I'm a bit unfamiliar with around here," he said, putting down his newspaper, "would you mind showing me the best place to get something to eat?"
Axel sighed inwardly, pretending to look at his watch. "I've got to go," he said, standing up, "but if you go down that street there you'll find the Restaurant Discrict," he pointed down the side street to his left.
"I might see you around then," said Shane, smiling as he walked away, humming a random tune.
Axel rolled his eyes. Crazy kid…
------------((lets fast forward a good fair amount of months shall we?))--------
Axel shivered as he stepped into the warm movie rental place, rubbing his hands together against the cold weather outside. It's been 6 months… he thought, shivering. It seems as if it was yesterday… He looked warily at the cashiers, who were busy with customers. Hmmm…I guess they don't remember me from the 'Rent' incident…Good.
Axel decided that a month after Roxas left, he would take up a new hobby. Movie-watching. Unfortunately, it only took him a few months to get through every movie in the castle. So here he was, perusing random movies at the store, opting to pay for them this time so he would be allowed to come back.
He took his movie selection, Saving Private Ryan, up to the counter, where lo and behold, a slightly familiar face was behind it.
"Hey!" Shane said smiling, "Remember me?"
"Vaguely." Axel replied shortly.
"The bench this summer? How have you been?"
Axel refrained from rolling his eyes. He makes it sound like we're best friends or something… Axel was suddenly washed over with a wave of melancholy, missing Roxas more than usual.
Shane raised an eyebrow. "You okay? You don't look too good…"
Axel handed over some munny as he took his movie. "I'm okay, one of my friends has been gone for a long time…"
Shane nodded in understanding. "I know what you mean. My wife died 3 years ago. I still miss her sometimes. Say! I don't think you ever told me your name!" Shane said, abruptly changing the mood of the conversation.
Axel looked at him oddly for a moment. What is with this guy? One minute he think's we're bonding, then he's serious, then back to bonding! Weird… "I'm Axel." he said shortly, leaving the store.
"Come visit anytime!" Shane called behind him.
----((more fast forward! Don't worry, there's AkuRoku in here somewhereXD))----
Over the next few months, Axel continued to go to the Video Store, and every time he would start a new conversation with Shane. It turned out he was a pretty interesting guy. He was going to college for engineering, and loved pyrotechnics just as much as Axel did. And every visit, Shane would ask Axel to meet up with him for dinner after his shift, and Axel would turn him down.
"So how about dinner?" Shane asked for the one-hundredth time.
"Not today Shane," Axel said offhandedly. It's a year tomorrow Roxas left…
"How about fireworks?" Shane inquired, "there's supposed to be a Midsummer Festival tonight…"
Axel winced, remembering the fireworks display he and Roxas tampered with one festival. "No…that's okay."
"How about a walk?"
"Fine," Axel said, just to shut him up.
"Great!" Shane said, grabbing his coat, "I get off right now!"
-----------
Shane and Axel walked quietly next to each other through the park. "So…." Shane started. "How's life?"
Axel sighed. "What the hell do you think of me as?"
Shane looked hurt. "A friend. After all, I only see you every other day," he said dryly.
Axel smiled weakly. "I guess that could work…." Shane smiled widely as he nodded, setting his eyes back to the walk ahead. Axel followed suit. This couldn't be that bad…Axel reasoned, taking a sidelong glance at him, He is kind of cute…He stared for a moment before shaking himself, bringing himself back to reason. No! Roxas is still out there. I'm halfway there…I can do this.
--------((add some odd months))--------
"This is nice," Shane said as they lay in the grass in the park on one of their days together after Shane got off of work. "Hey Axel?"
"Hmmm?" I hate to admit it, but this guy is growing on me…
"Where's your 'friend'? Is he still gone?"
Axel flinched. "Yes. He'll be gone for about another year."
"Oh…where is he?"
"I…don't know," Axel admitted softly.
"That's harsh," Shane said, scooting slowly closer to Axel. "You must miss him…"
"I do."
"But it's not like he had a choice right? You told me work took him away," Shane reasoned.
"No, he had a choice. He volunteered."
"Ohhh," Shane reasoned. "Are you sure he's still waiting for you, wherever he is?"
Axel looked away, lost in thought. "Aaaah, seems I've hit a nerve," Shane said, smiling slightly. He rolled over, leaning over Axel slightly. "Are you going to be okay?" he whispered, inches away from Axel.
Axel licked his lips. "I'll be fine," he whispered as Shane kissed him softly. Axel smiled, pushing back up against him. I missed this… he thought as he intensified the kiss, wrapping his arms around Shane's neck. "Roxas," he murmured as he pushed harder against him. Wait a minute. This isn't right.
"Two years…" Axel muttered into Roxas' neck, "think you'll be able to last that long without me?"
Roxas pulled back a little, smiling. "Will you?"
"Of course not," Axel said, winking, "but I'm pretty sure I'll manage." He put his right hand over his heart and made the Girl Scout promise sign with his other hand. "I'll take a vow of chastity until you return!"
Roxas laughed. "That's right, because I'm-"
"My Roxy…"
"Roxas!" Axel cried out, pushing Shane off of him. "What the hell are you doing?"
"You didn't seem to mind," Shane said, eyes glinting.
"Get away from me you asshole, you made me break my vow of chastity."
Shane laughed. "Your what?"
Axel stood up, green eyes blazing. "Stay away from me, or you'll never be able to have children."
Axel walked away quickly and summoned a portal out of sight before he burned him to a crisp. Bastard…I am uke for no one but Roxas…dammit, what have I done?
----------((::skips:: ))---------
The last few months Axel spent mechanically, barely speaking or coming out of his room. As the day Roxas returned drew near, Axel grew more and more nervous. He's going to kill me… And Shane…he might castrate him first. I'll gladly help there…little whore. He smiled wryly at the thought.
…I'm dead.
----------((alright AKUROKU finally right?))---------
After speaking with the Superior, Roxas portaled directly to Axel's room, throwing himself on him without so much as a 'hello'.
Axel made a strangled sound as he was pushed down on the bed, arms behind his head. "Roxas…?" he murmured between harsh kisses.
"Shh," Roxas whispered, "No talking. I want to have hot 'I missed you' sex before anything else." He moved to cover Axel's lips again, before Axel shifted to hold him back.
"Roxas, wait. I have to tell you something first…"
Roxas raised an eyebrow. "You have five seconds."
"I broke my vow of chastity," Axel said, looking away.
Roxas froze. "You…what?"
"There was this guy I met in Twilight Town named Shane, and we would walk together after he got off work…." Roxas listed avidly to Axel's tale, wincing when he said that all he did for two years was watch movies and hang out with Shane.
"…and then he kissed me, but I threw him off almost immediately…"
"Then there's no problem then," Roxas said, moving closer.
"But I kissed him back for a second," Axel admitted, holding Roxas back. "I don't know why, I just was lonely…I've been feeling so horrible for months Rox. You've gotta forgive me."
Roxas paused for a moment. "What did you do after that?"
"I threw him down and threatened his ancestry." Roxas laughed as Axel continued. "Seriously! He tried to top me Rox! I am not topped by anyone-"
"But me," Roxas said, glinting as he moved closer to Axel again. "I forgive you," he whispered against Axel's lips, bringing his hands to cover Axel's above their heads, "As long as you get punished, of course."
Axel grinned slyly. "There's my sadist Roxy I've been missing…" He smiled as Roxas kissed him deeply, lowing one hand to unzip Axel's cloak. He smirked as Axel fidgeted as Roxas ran his hand up and down Axel's chest.
Axel pulled back to breathe, smiling. "It's going to be a long night, isn't it?"
"Damn straight," Roxas said, winking.
