FORBIDDEN LOVE

Chapter 1:WTF?!

It had started out as your normal, average evening, the only difference being that my mom was having her boyfriend, Reno, over for dinner. But everything came crashing down with just a few simple words.

We had just finished the main course and was starting on dessert when my mom started talking.

"Roxas", she said, "There's something I've been meaning to tell you."

To be honest, I thought she was going to say something like 'I'm pregnant' or 'we have to move because I found a new job offer'. But no, she grabbed Reno's hand, they looked at each other and smiled, then they both looked back at me and my mom burst out:

"we're getting married!"

My spoon paused on the way to my mouth, and time seemed to freeze. The smiles disappeared from their faces, and instead they started looking at me with concern.

"Roxas, are you ok?"

I quickly regained my composure, cleared my throat, and thought of something to say to coverup my long pause.

"yeah mom, I'm fine. Congratulations."

I faked a smile that seemed to please them, and just like that, dessert continued. I watched the man who would soon become my father Personally, I really didn't like the man to much. He was rude, crude, obnoxious, and at times could be extremely immature. I didn't think he was 'the one' for my mom, but I realized as I watched him and my mom that she was happy when she was with him. I noticed that when she glanced over at him, she seemed genuinely happy to be around him, her eyes filled with a kind of compassion and love that I had only dreamed of. I decided to let it alone for now, and let fate decide what would happen between the two of them.

"I'm going to go upstairs to my room now, thanks for dinner and dessert mom."

"No problem honey."

She smiled at me once, then her gaze returned to Reno. I stole away from the table quietly, not wanting to disturbed their 'moment'.

XxxX

"Roxas, could you come down here for a minute?"

I sighed, and closed the book I had been reading. I walked down the stairs slowly, not wanting to know what they wanted to say to me now. I had had enough surprises for one night, anymore, and I might form a hernia.

"Yeah mom?"

I entered the entrance way to see mom and Reno sharing another 'private moment'.

"Gross! Couldn't you two have done that before I entered the room?"

Mom tore her lips away from Reno's and glanced over at me, a blush appearing in her usually pale cheeks.

"Sorry Roxas dear, got carried away."

I rolled my eyes, "whatever, what did you call me down here for?"

"I wanted you to say goodbye to Reno, you're going to be seeing him a lot more now and I wanted you to start treating him with some respect."

She had me there. Normally when he left I would either be holed up in my room, or out of the house.

"Bye Reno."

he smiled over at me, "bye kid."

He turned towards my mom and gave her a quick peek on the cheek, "bye honey. See you tomorrow at dinner, and I'll bring Axel over this time."

My head shoot up at the sound of the unknown name. My mom returned Reno's kiss, watched him walk out the door and head down the dark pathway, and shut the door behind him after making sure he had gotten into his car safely. She turned towards me again, eyes sparkling with happiness.

"Mom? Whose Axel?"

"Hmm? Oh! I'm sorry Roxas, I forgot to tell you. Axel is Reno's son."

Silence descended upon the room, making it awkward and uncomfortable. After what seemed like hours, I took a deep breath and tried to repeat what she had just told me.

"He has a son?!"

"Well...yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner honey, I just never found the chance."

"When were you going to tell me?"

"Well, as soon as I could. It just...slipped my mind a few times."

I felt a headache coming on, this was not turning into a good night for me. Mom watched me with concern, and tried to cover her mistake.

"At least you found out before the wedding day."

I laughed. Sometimes, my mom was amazing at making everything seem funny.

"Alright, I'll give you that much. But tell me something, how old is Axel?"

"He's about your age. 16 or 17."

"Will we have to share a room after you and Reno get married?"

" I don't think so, I'll just have to clean out that spare room and that's where he can sleep."

"Alright then. I guess that's alright."

Mom smiled, satisfied that this didn't turn into a big argument, "anyway, I'm sure you'll like him."

"I guess we'll just have to see. I'm heading to bed now. Good night mom."

"Good night Roxas. I love you."

"Love you too."

I turned and headed back upstairs, somehow feeling more tired then I had in ages. I opened the door to my room and collapsed into bed, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

XxxX

"Roxas! Can you take the lasagne out of the oven for me?"

"Sure!"

I took the lasagne out of the oven and set it on the counter to cool. Mom and I had been busy preparing for this dinner all day. Cleaning the house and going to the grocery store for dinner ingredients were just some of the things that had to get done. And by the time we had time to relax, it was already 5:30 and time to start the actual meal. I glanced over at mom, suddenly realizing how stressed she seemed about his whole thing.

"Hey mom, are you ok? You seem tense."

"I'm alright Roxas, just a little nervous about tonight, that's all"

I was somewhat confused, "why are you so nervous?"

"Because this is the first time we'll be eating with both you and Axel, instead of just me and Reno like usual. It'll be like we're an actual family, and I just hope everything goes ok."

"But you ate with me last night."

"I know, but I'm still a little nervous."

I was still confused, but decided to let the subject drop. The door bell also decided to ring at that minute and mom nearly dropped the fancy china we only save for very special occasions. She took a deep breath and regained her composure, then looked over to where I was looking at her worriedly.

"Well, come on Roxas. Let's go meet Axel!"

I sighed and followed her as she headed toward the front door. She paused before opening it, taking another deep breath, and then opened it so fast I thought I was going to get whiplash from the force. I peeked around my mom, only to see Reno.

"Hi Reno." My mom said

"Hello Tifa, how are you?"

"I'm alright. Now, please come in before you freeze, it's chilly out tonight."

Reno laughed and stepped over the threshold. I tried again to peek past him at this mystery son of his, but he was still in the way.

"Good evening Roxas, how are you tonight?"

"I'm good Reno."

"That's good."

The three of us stood there in the entrance way for a minute, each trying to find something to say to the other. The silence seemed to stretch on forever until a voice came from behind Reno.

"Dad? Are you going to make me stand out here all night? Or are you going to let me in so I can meet this woman you can't stop talking about?"

I looked at Reno who, to my surprise, was blushing. I rolled my eyes and looked over at mom, who was blushing too.

"Oh, sorry Axel. Come on in."

I watched as Axel came in, getting a first look at my stepbrother-to-be as he stepped into our house. The first thing I noticed was the mass of red hair; which was the same color as Reno's; that spiked in the back, making the back of his head look like a porcupine. He lifted his head, letting me get a better look at his face, and I noticed the small, teardrop tattoos under his eyes. I held back a laugh at those, thinking it would probably be a bad move. My gaze shifted up to his eyes, and I felt my heart skip a beat. His eyes were...amazing. They were like emeralds, piercing, and I felt myself getting lost in them. I stared for a few minutes, then realized that he was staring straight back, a slight smirk written on his face. I blushed and looked away, noticing that my heart was beating faster than it should have been.

What the hell was that? Why am I all worked up like this?

Reno cleared his throat, "Roxas. I'd like you to meet my son, Axel."
