Chapter Fourteen

…

"Well, you two idiots ran him out of here," Xigbar came marching into Axel's dressing room, interrupting their conversation.

Axel sighed, "Look, Xigbar…"

"Save it. I don't care. From what I could understand when you were screaming at each other on my set, you both are better off without him. But now we've run into a bit of a problem, see… because he was the lead of the film. I mean, are you two trying to bankrupt me? Do you realize that we're going to reshoot everything we've done so far?"

"Reshoot?" the redhead looked at him curiously, "Xig, you just said it yourself… you have no lead."

Xigbar leaned against the frame of the door and thought for a minute, but Axel didn't like the way that his eyes were darting back and forth between the two of them. …And he really didn't like the grin that was creeping onto the director's lips. "Roxas… ever done any acting?"

That startled the blond quite a bit, "Me? Uhm… I used to be in the drama club in high school, but—"

"No! N-O. No," Axel cut him off, knowing exactly where Xigbar was heading with that.

"Let me put it to you this way… Roxas, you'll be taking Axel's place as the submissive in this film so that he can be my lead, or… I'll fire you and sue you for the damages that all of you morons did to my set."

Roxas' eyes went as wide as they could get and he sat there, speechless.

"You can't force him into this, you asshole!" Axel stood up, getting up in Xigbar's face, "Forcing him to do this movie is like raping him all over again!"

"I'll do it," Roxas couldn't believe those words had just come out of his mouth. Why did he say that?

Axel turned to face him, "What?"

"All of this is ultimately my fault, so… I'll do it. I'll take his place," the blond just kept talking himself farther into a hole. "I mean… it's just sex. How hard could it be?"

Xigbar grinned and gave him a nod, "Good decision. I'll get my writer to tweak the script a little and we'll start filming again next week. In the mean time, Axel, you need to get Roxas ready. Teach him what to expect."

With that, the director disappeared from the room.

"Roxas, do you have any idea what you just agreed to?! I would have paid for the damages to the set! We could have found you another job!"

But the intern just shrugged, "I don't want another job. I like being here at the studio. Besides, it really is all my fault that he lost Luxord. Had I just listened to you and stayed the fuck away from him…"

"Are you fucking braindead, Roxas? Do you have any idea at all what we're going to have to do on camera? Do you really want thousands of people to see you naked and tied up?"

"Ohh, quit being such a god damned drama queen. I know what porn is, dumbass. I wouldn't have agreed to it if I didn't think I could do it," Roxas snapped, a little irritated that Axel was making such a big deal out of it. "If you don't want to fuck me, then just do what you do with Xion and tune the fuck out."

Axel sat back down at his vanity, his heart pounding up in his throat. He was going to have to sleep with Roxas…

"I'm not the same person I was when I started. Yeah… the idea of porn scared the hell out of me when I walked onto set and saw you for the first time. But I've been in the studio for nearly two months now, and I've become completely desensitized to it. Who wouldn't, seeing all of you guys banging each other every day?"

Well he was definitely right about that. Roxas was not the same person that Axel met not even two months ago. Funny how working in this industry could do that to a person… "Whatever… it's your decision, Roxas, but you do have a choice. Don't let Xigbar force you into this." You've made a lot of shitty decisions lately, but go ahead. Make another one…

"Nobody is forcing me into anything anymore. I appreciate the concern, but you don't need to worry about me. I'm weirdly kind of excited to give this a shot… I loved acting back in high school, and it'd be nice to try it again."

Axel grit his teeth, trying to resist the urge to smack his friend upside the head, "This isn't drama club, Roxas… once you do your first movie… it's hard to get out."

"Do you have any idea how much it sucks to be an intern? At least with this I would be using some kind of skill. I didn't go to four years of college to make coffee runs for the rest of my life. If this can bridge the gap and get me into directing one day… so be it."

"So… you're doing this for your career?"

Roxas nodded, "Well… yeah. It's not the ideal situation… I mean, I'd prefer for it not to be porn, but… it is what it is. This'll at least get my name out there."

"I don't get you… at all. You literally surprise me every day," Axel had to smile a little at that. "But hey… if we're going to be sleeping together, you're getting rid of the beard."

"You don't like it?" Roxas ran his hand through the scruff on his face, "Eh… I don't really care for it either. I'll shave tonight."

Axel was trying to keep a smile on his face, but all he could think about was having sex with Roxas. Sure, he'd thought about it many times before… but never once did it involve cameras pointed at them.

Roxas, meanwhile, was having quite a similar anxiety attack. He was trying to act cool for the sake of not looking like an idiot after everything he said, but the more he thought about what he'd actually agreed to, the more terrified he became. Axel was his best friend… and they were about to seriously test the boundaries of that friendship.

A/N: Another very short chapter… but I couldn't get into what happens next without it becoming a super long chapter. IT'S GONNA BE EPICCCC!

A lot of you are asking how I update so quickly… No, I don't have any of this pre-written or planned out ahead of time. I just sit down and make shit up every day. XD But I'm glad you all like it! I know I went kinda rogue with the Luxord thing… kinda wish it had been a little different than what I initially wrote… but I'm still happy with it.

But this chapter I just wrote was definitely something I was planning to do the whole time. :3 So excite!

Remember to review! Thanks for sticking with me!
