A/n: Hey there, sorry that I disappeared for a bit- life gets hectic. I've been writing a new request… but need a break from it and I was just feeling this again. If you're still reading this, enjoy!

I fought to breathe, finding myself staring into breathtaking green eyes. Whenever I looked into them they left me weak. They really were gorgeous. Just like two luminescent gems. And their owner was just as amazing. Axel and I had spent the entire day together and it had gone absurdly wonderfully. No matter what we were doing I always found myself gravitating towards staring at him, transfixed and unable to help myself. He was just so easy to get along with, and left my heart racing.

True to the theme of our first date, we were currently watching the cheesiest movie we'd been able to find, high on caffeine and sea-salt flavored kisses …and the red-head had just caught me staring at him. Again. His lips curved upward into a seductive grin and I swallowed hard, my heart fluttering in my chest.

Axel Sinclair, the gorgeous boy that I couldn't quite seem to get enough of. That was leaning closer and closer, yet again, until our lips were nearly touching. I felt my cheeks flush from the rush of arousal that ran through me, unable to turn away from the advance. Then, our lips met in a gentle caress and our tongues tangled together in a heady kiss that went on and on. I moaned at the feeling of lanky fingers raking through my hair, at the blunt nails scraping against my scalp. Axel tugged gently, pulling me closer and the action sent a rush of excitement through me.

"So, do you know me well enough yet?" he breathed against my lips and the implications of it left me burning up. I was completely gasping for air because oh my God I wanted him and he was right there, hovering over me. Not being able to have him because of my own stupid rule was driving me crazy. I almost didn't care at this point if I knew him well enough or not. I hooked my leg around his waist and tugged him down until his body was flush against mine. Trying to be braver than I felt was much easier when I was aroused. Axel chuckled against my lips and purred, "Is that a yes? Please say yes, I've been so good all day," and it sent an aroused shiver though my entire body, "and you haven't made it easy, you know?"

"Oh my God, Axel," I groaned. The red-head chuckled again and the sound sent tremors down my spine. He waited, his face hovering just above mine, teasing me with his proximity and grinning like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland, which I'd discovered was the tattoo hidden between his shoulder blades, by the way. "Yes," I breathed, absolutely melting when his mouth descended to mine. Devouring lips descended down my neck, teeth nipping at my skin, and I moaned loudly, arching into him. Axel pushed my shirt up my chest, claiming a sensitive nipple with his hot mouth and my hips bucked into his. I gasped breathlessly at his moan. It was the sexiest thing I'd ever heard in my life. Panting hard, he raised his head and met my gaze, his eyes darker from the arousal they held. Complex and captivating… Then he kissed me hard, slowly coaxing my tongue into his mouth and grinding his hips into mine equally slowly. My eyes were hazed over from pleasure and his were absolutely burning from it, and when our gazes locked again, those eyes drew me in deeper. It was so intense, but our moment was lost by a deceptively cheerful ringtone. Axel blinked, breaking our kiss, his hot breath fanning my face. It sent tingles down my spine.

"Just a moment, gotta make sure it isn't Reno," he murmured, his voice full of arousal, making me shudder, even as I nodded. Axel pulled back, smiling a bit, and fished his phone out of his back pocket. He sat back, his lips curving into a mischievous grin while he read the text messages quickly. I watched him, feeling an intuitive sense of dread. Axel chuckled, glancing down at me wryly. "Uh oh, someone forgot to get permission for the sleepover," he tisked archly. I blinked and stared at him for a full minute before blushing darkly, swiping a pillow and hitting him with it. Laughing good-naturedly, Axel pinned me down, kissing me slowly and chuckling when I squirmed. I frowned up at him worriedly when he broke our lip-lock.

"What happened?" I asked. Axel smiled playfully.

"Your mother called, told me to send you straight home cos you were a naughty boy," he replied with faux chiding. I rolled my eyes but couldn't stop myself from smiling. Damn it he was being perfect again and making the situation better. If he didn't stop, I was going to be in trouble.

"Seriously, what happened?"

Rolling his shoulders, Axel replied, "Well, by the sounds of it, Sora felt bad and broke into your room last night to apologize. Your friends have been waiting for you to come back home all day and are worried because you haven't answered your phone. So they wanted to know if you were with me." With a miserable groan, I ran a hand through my hair, muttering 'of course'. Axel smiled gently, kissing me just as softly. "Hey, it'll be okay, Roxas," he said softly, humming thoughtfully at my anxious expression. "Do you trust me?" he murmured seriously. I blinked up at him.

"What?" Oh holy damn. His expression became just as thoughtful and it made my heart stutter.

"If you trust me, I'll take care of this for you," he answered. He really was perfect, wasn't he?

"Y-you, you… what?" I gasped, hardly trusting myself to speak. He winked and flashed a charming grin. Oh God.

"I'll be right back, okay?" and as I watched him disappear, my brain tried to process what was happening. I stared up at the ceiling, taking deep breaths to calm down and straining my ears. I couldn't hear what Axel was saying, but the easy-going, somewhat chiding tone made it easier to relax. The call was brief and when he came back, I found myself staring into green eyes once again. He caught my questioning gaze and smiled as he sat beside me.

"Did you tell them I was here?" I asked. He nodded, making my stomach do a little flip.

"I told Kairi that I bumped into you last night and offered you a place to stay since they were being overbearing." I nodded slowly, worriedly, and he rolled his shoulders nonchalantly. "I also told her that you were rather happy with the idea of crashing on my couch because there was free cable involved and had slept the afternoon away." I laughed at that, reminded of the night before.

"Does that mean you need to take me home soon?" He glanced away, a thoughtful frown on his lips.

"Probably, huh?" Somehow the idea made my stomach drop. He turned to me, hesitating before speaking. "Roxas?" I swallowed.

"Yeah, Axel?"

"If you're interested… a friend of mine is playing at the coffee shop with his band, next weekend. Friday night into Saturday morning," he offered. My heart sped up and I felt my face heat up.

"Y-yeah?" I asked. Axel smiled a little.

"I'd really like to see you again, even if it's just while I'm at work," he answered, his eyes meeting mine. I stared back, getting lost in those green depths. His lips quirked up and he lent close. "Maybe the morning after, we could get some coffee together," he suggested. I pushed forward, kissing the red-head briefly, making Axel's eyes widen in surprise before they were flooded with warmth.

"I'd like that," I told him, captivated by those expressive green depths. Axel smiled in approval, returning the kiss.

"Perfect," he answered. He bit his lower lip. "Better get dressed, huh?" I smiled a bit.

"I'm keeping your shirt." Axel chuckled warmly.

"Good, I like how it looks on you," he murmured back, kissing me again. We got a bit carried away before he remembered to stop. He looked just as unhappy as I felt about my leaving. Before either of us were ready for it, I had gathered my belongings and he had driven me home.

Axel walked me to the front door, keeping it casual as I invited him inside. I exhaled heavily, staring up at the ceiling and repressing a groan. Everyone was waiting for us in the living room. Axel tilted his head at the lot of them curiously. Then he grinned that charming grin of his, greeting Kairi. "Hey doll, I'm here to deliver Roxas. Safe and sound, as promised," he purred. I felt my face flush and scoffed at the red-head when he used my shoulder as an armrest. Kairi rolled her eyes. Namine looked just as irritated.

"Safe and sound til I get my hands on him! Do you even know what you did to Sora by disappearing like that, Roxas?" She asked venomously, referring to the teary-eyed brunet. Axel glanced between the three of us.

"Y'kno…" he intervened, "You should be a bit more concerned about the fact that you all pushed him to leave last night. Hollow Bastion isn't like Destiny Islands, it's not safe to be wandering around at night alone. You know that, Kairi." Her face reddened. Sora looked terrified at the thought. I rolled my eyes, shrugging him off of my shoulder.

"You mean Roxas could've gotten hurt?" Sora asked sounding small. I sighed. The waterworks were coming.

"I can take care of myself, Sora." Riku scoffed.

"What if something happened to you, Roxas? You go around, thinking you're invincible but you're not! You-" Just as my blood began to boil, he was interrupted.

"Moving on! We all know now, right?" Axel asked looking at Kairi pointedly. Her cheeks reddened and she looked away, mumbling an affirmation. The taller red-head sighed dramatically. "Good. So, everyone, I'm Axel," he said with a mock salute, "got it memorized?" Sora giggled a little bit.

"Hi! I'm Sora, nice to meetcha!" Riku frowned and crossed his arms, earning him a jab in the ribs. "This jerk is my boyfriend, Riku." The silver haired boy gave an indigent response, earning more giggles and a kiss from my brother. "That's Namine," he introduced the blonde-haired girl, who had begun to watch us interestedly, "and you know Roxas and Kairi."

"Sure do," Axel replied, making himself at home and sitting down next to Kairi. He rested his head on her shoulder, and the gesture made me bristle a bit in jealousy. Which was really weird, considering they were cousins. Kairi smiled a bit at Axel's antics. "So, I'm finally here. Are you gonna show me around? I'm tired. Worked late and have to go in soon, remember?"

"Oooh Roxy totally should give you a tour!" Sora interrupted. I rolled my eyes.

"Why, so you guys can stalk us? No thanks," I muttered darkly.

"Awwe c'mon, don't be a sour grape! At least this one's cute!" my brother chirruped. The comment earned him a half-hearted glare from Kairi, an amused chuckle from Riku and an endearing smile from Namine. The universe was kind to me for once, and Axel was the only one to see my face flame. He looked into my eyes and gave me a deliberate, sexual, smile. It only made my blush deepen. I stomped off, retreating to my room as quickly as possible, and the action made Axel laugh. I got behind my door just in time to hide an aroused shudder.

I flopped down on my bed, trying to sort my confused thoughts. I rubbed the heels of my palms into my eyes. I couldn't believe I was reacting this way to Axel, or that I felt jealous that my friends had stolen him away. He was so perfect, I'd never been so entirely attracted to someone in my life. And that smile? I shuddered. There was a knock on the door, interrupting my brooding. I scoffed. I really needed to get another lock for that, thanks to Sora. Or maybe four. "Go awaaaay," I groaned, rolling over and hiding my head under my pillow. There was a soft chuckle on the other side and even though the sound was muffled, I completely froze, my heart thundering in my chest.

"Man, you are ungodly stubborn, huh?" Axel teased on the other side. I exhaled heavily. After a moment of hesitation, I got up and tugged the door open.

"What?" I muttered in exasperation, but when I saw that he was alone, I couldn't stop myself from smiling.

"Just wanted to say bye," he told me casually. Then Axel smirked, pressing me against the doorframe and devouring my mouth before I could process what was happening. "See you Friday night," he purred. My heart was hammering in my chest as my fingers pressed to my lips and he winked at me, making me blush again. Before I realized what I was doing, my eyes were fixated on his retreating form, lingering on his ass. A rush of arousal swept through me and I ducked back into my room, locking the door behind me.

What had I gotten myself into?
