Endless Delight
It was late at night, the skies were dark and the winds were cold, Roxas lay in his bed struggling to sleep.
Dreams of unmentionable things kept dwelling in his mind, those of a certain spiky red-head. Roxas tossed and turned, he began to clinch his pillow as sweat drops rolled down his cheek and splashed upon it.
Suddenly Roxas burst open his eyes and sat up in an instant, breathing heavily while sweat still roll down his face. He rubbed his eyes with his fingertips and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.
Roxas sat there hunched over his pillow trying to make sense of his dream. In his head he thought it over, "why was I thinking about him…like that, why Axel?"
Roxas threw his pillow against the headboard and kicked off the sheets. He moved over to the edge of the bed and placed his feet on the ground, sitting there for a moment rubbing his hands over the top of his head. Roxas stood up and began to walk to the door, he cracked it and peered out into the hallway to make sure no one else was there. He opened the door softly, trying to make as little noise as possible and stepped out into the hallway.
Taking small steps he slowly made his way to the bathroom. Once he was standing inside the doorway he felt around the wall for the light switch, flicked it on and closed the door behind him, leaving it only cracked. Roxas walked over to the sink and stared into the mirror, "I look like hell, damn that Axel," he murmured to himself.
Roxas reached for the knobs and turned on the cold water, filling the sink. After the sink was filled he shut off the water and cupped a handful of water, he splashed it against his face. The water slowly ran down his face and fell into the pool of water in the sink making little ripples. He continued to splash water on his face, cooling himself down when he suddenly heard the door screech open.
He turned around instantaneously, in the doorway was none other then the man in his dream, Axel. He was leaning against the door with his arms folded, he was wearing only his black pajama pants with his bare chest exposed.
"Why hello there Roxas," he said with a smirk on his face.
Roxas whipped around and placed both hand against the sink, he started to breath heavily. "Why him, out of all the people why him?" he screamed in his head. He lowered his head and stared at his reflection in the water.
Axel pushed himself off the door and uncrossed his arms. He began to walk slowly over to Roxas, "you ok kid, its kind of late to be roaming around, you know how Xemnas is about people being up so late," Axel said, sounded a bit concerned.
Roxas didn't respond, instead he just stood there, to stiff to even move.
Axel moved closer and closer to Roxas, soon he was standing right behind him. He then extended his arms and wrapped them around Roxas' hips. He placed his head against his back, "well… I don't know what's going on with you but I hope you feel better little buddy," Axel said in a tender but friendly voice.
Roxas began to tremble, sweat started to roll down his face again.
Axel started to let go of Roxas, running his fingers along his ribs. "Well I'm heading back to bed, you should head back soon too before Xemnas finds you," Axel said. He then walked out the door and closed it behind him.
Roxas dropped on his knees and placed his head against the sink cabinet. "What's wrong with me, why do I have these feelings… I'm a nobody I shouldn't have feelings" he pondered in his head.
After a short while, Roxas pulled himself up to his feet. He slowly walked towards the door, feeling the wall with his fingertips. When he reached the door he gently opened it and peered out into the hallway, making sure the coast was clear from Xemnas. After seeing it was all clear, he opened the door all the way and switched off the light. He moved down the hallway quickly to his room, running his hands against the walls the whole way.
Once he reached his bedroom he closed the door tight and slipped back into bed, nuzzling his pillow. He closed his eyes and finally fell back to sleep.
As the morning approached, darkness still engulfed the room. The sounds of the heartless roaming about made Roxas toss a bit as he threw his pillow over his head to cover the noise. He decided to sleep-in and get some well needed rest after what happened last night.
All of a sudden the door slammed open and Roxas felt a large thump on his bed.
"GET UP, lets go… out of bed," a rather hyper voice exclaimed.
Roxas pulled the pillow off his head and look up at the person hovering over him, to his surprise it was Demyx staring at him with a sinister grin on his face.
"Get off me Demyx, I'm staying in bed," he replied as he pushed Demyx to the side. He then placed the pillow back over his head and with a strong thrust, kicked Demyx off the bed.
Demyx, flapping his arms to try and keep his balance, flew off the bed backwards and landed on his back, slamming it against the floor. Demyx quickly dashed to his feet, while rubbing the back of his head, "fine, if you wont get up for me then I'll just go and get Xemnas and he can get you up."
Roxas sat up in a flash, his eyes wide open, "I'M UP… I'M UP!"
Demyx let out a snicker and walked out the room, waving his hand at Roxas.
He sat in bed for a few minutes, resting his face on his hands. He then threw off the sheets and stood up on the floor, stretching his arms out. He walked over to the door and slammed it shut so he could get dressed. He then walked over to his dresser and pulled out some cloths, laid them on the bed and took a quick glance out the window. Quickly, Roxas stripped off his pajama pants and shirt and threw them on the bed. He grabbed the cloths he sat out and began to get dressed. After he we finished putting his cloths on he walked over to the dresser and grabbed his boots and gloves. He put his boots on and then slipped on the gloves. Roxas then walked over to the closet, swung open the doors and pulled out his coat, whipped it around his back and zipped it up.
He went back over to the dresser and stared into the mirror. "Forget about everything that happened last night, forget about that dream," he said to his reflection.
Roxas then turned and walked towards the door, he grasped the doorknob and turned it gently. "Well… here I go, you can do it Roxas," he said to himself. He slowly opened the door and stepped out into the hallway, closing the door behind him. He began to make his way down the hallway to the kitchen where everyone was having breakfast like usual.
As Roxas turned the corner and stood in the doorway of the kitchen, Demyx shouted out, "ROXAS… finally made it I see."
Xemnas turned around and looked at Roxas, giving him a nod of approval.
Saix and Xaldin were busy making the food while everyone else was sitting at the table talking to each other.
Roxas slowly moved to the table and pulled out a chair next to Marluxia. Marluxia cocked his head and looked at Roxas, "how come your not sitting next to Axel like you always do?" Roxas looked up at him and just shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey little buddy…. What's wrong, how come you don't want to sit next to me," Axel shouted across the table.
Roxas let out a small sigh and stood up, he pushed in the chair and walked over to the empty seat next to Axel. He pulled out the chair and quickly sat down, staring at the empty plate in front of him.
Axel placed his hand on Roxas' shoulder and said, "alright, now I got my arm rest." Roxas tried to clear his mind of all thought, he looked up at Axel and smirked.
"So Roxas, you feeling any better from last night," Axel said in a low voice. Roxas nodded at him, "yea I'm doing good now, thanks."
All of a sudden a loud scream rang out, "damnit Xaldin, watch what your doing because of you I just burnt my hand."
Everyone at the table began to laugh, Axel let out a huge snort. Xemnas jumped from the table and ran to Saix's aid, "don't worry, we just need to run it under some cold water," he said in a worried tone.
The two finally finished up making breakfast and severed everyone. "I don't like pancakes," Xigbar pouted. Saix looked at him and let out a loud snarl, "you WILL eat them!" With a frightened look on his face, Xigbar stuffed the pancake in his mouth. Saix nodded his head in approval and moved on.
Demyx, being joyful about the pancakes grabbed the syrup and began to shake it rapidly over his pancakes, not knowing the lid was loose. "Stupid syrup… why wont you work." Demyx shouted. With a strong thrust forward the lid flew off and the syrup streamed out of the bottle, landing all over Larxene and Roxas.
Demyx stared at the syrup covered Larxene, who looked quite pissed, and made an innocent face at her. All of a sudden, Larxene jumped up, her chair falling to the ground, dashed across the table and tackled Demyx to the floor. Larxene began to choke Demyx and screamed, "you little bastard… YOU WILL PAY."
Marluxia being very cunning as always, grabbed a pancake off his plate and poured what was left of the syrup on the top of it, without notice he flung it across the table, landed it on the face of Zexion.
"FOOD FIGHT," Xigbar stood up and screamed. In a few seconds pancakes were flying everywhere.
Vexen, who had falling asleep on his breakfast had a pancake land on his head, which did not phase this sleeping in the least bit. Xaldin lifted up his hand, pointed a finger at Vexen and began to laugh hysterically, "HA… pancake head!"
While everyone was playing around, acting like children, Roxas just sat there and stared at his lap, unaware of what was going on around him.
Out of no where, Axel leaned over to Roxas and licked a glob of syrup off his face. Roxas began to blush and his breathing became heavy, just like when Axel wrapped his arms around his hips last night.
A few seats down, Xemnas was covering his face with his hands, shaking his head at the deplorable behavior of his Organization members. Swiftly, Xemnas jumped up and slammed his hands against the table, "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Xemnas screamed at the top of his voice. Everyone froze and stared up at Xemnas, the room became so quiet you could hear the ticks of the clock. "Demyx, Larxene… this was all started by you two, your cleaning it all up… why cant we ever have a normal meal together without a fight breaking out," Xemnas yelled across the table. He then kicked his chair out from underneath him and walked out the room.
Roxas also jumped out of his chair and ran out the kitchen, running to his room. Once he reached his room he slammed the door behind him and fell to the ground, sitting against the door with his head pressed firmly on it. "Damn that Axel," he said in a low voice.
Back in the kitchen Larxene and Demyx began to clean up the mess. As Demyx was washing the dishes he schemed up a devious plan while looking at the water sprayer on the sink.
"Hey Larxene…" Demyx said in a revengeful voice.
Larxene turned around and stared at Demyx, "DANCE WATER DANCE," he screamed as he pushed the button on the handle, releasing a flow of water that drenched Larxene. He began to laugh uncontrollably. "I'll give you something to laugh at," Larxene said as she lunged for Demyx.
Meanwhile in the hallway, Xemnas was walking to his bedroom when he heard the loud, girly screams of Demyx.
"Damnit… not again," Xemnas said as he placed his face in his hands and shook his head in discontentment.
