"So…" Roxas cleared his throat and sat down on the couch in the millionth dumpy motel where he had been forced to stay, glancing at Axel out of the corner of his eye every now and then.

"So?"

"You know what today is?"

Axel glanced up from his laptop with his eyes wide and shut the lid immediately, put it on the coffee table in front of him. "Oh my God. I forgot your birthday. I'm so sorry."

Roxas turned his full attention on the redhead and watched him for a second, and they stared at each other in comfortable silence. "Um…no. This is July, Axel. My birthday isn't in July."

"Oh. Okay then." Axel opened up his laptop again and continued whatever he was doing, and Roxas sighed. The only downside of being a captive (other than the fact that he wasn't allowed to see his family or friends or go to school; not that any of that mattered, because he was in love with his captor) was that he had no control of what he did. Ever.

"Its July Fourth." He smiled and scooted over on the couch, rested his chin on Axel's shoulder, and noticed that the aforementioned captor was surfing their page on the America's Most Wanted website.

"Oh? That's good."

"You know…" Roxas murmured, sighing again and slowly pushing down the lid of the laptop for a second time. "Elmhurst does this thing on the lakes, where they shoot the fireworks out over them. Its supposed to be really pretty, because you can see the reflection of the fireworks in the water."

Axel gave his young lover a flat look and raised his eyebrows. "You want to go, don't you?"

"It's at nine o'clock and we're like, right by Lake Michigan. It would be so much fun, and it would be romantic, and we could eat and drink and have fun…" Roxas pecked Axel on the cheek and smiled. "Please?"

"Mm…" Axel closed his eyes and slid his arm around Roxas's waist. "What time is it now?"

"Uh…six."

"Oh dear." He opened his eyes again and glanced around the room. "What do we have to eat? And drink?"

"Nothing. You refuse to go grocery shopping, and you won't let me go by myself. We eat out literally every single night." Roxas sighed. "I guess we can go to like, Taco Bell or something, get some snack food there…maybe Burger King…"

"Shut up. You're making me hungry."

"Sorry. So can we go?"

Axel blew out a long breath and began tapping his foot in that annoying way he did when he didn't want to make a decision, hugging Roxas almost uncomfortably close to his own body. "I…guess so…"

"Yay!" Roxas leaned forward and gave Axel another quick kiss, this time on the nose, stood up, and ran into the disgustingly dirty kitchen. "I'll start making a list!"

"Its warm."

"Uh, yeah, because I'm holding about as close as humanly possible and we've got two blankets on top of us." Axel chuckled and buried his face in Roxas's hair, glanced at the clock on the dashboard, and noticed that it read 8:40.

"This is true…"

"They should be starting soon."

Roxas glanced over across the dark lake and sighed, falling back into Axel's firm chest. "Yup. Twenty minutes or so."

"Very good Roxy!" Axel leaned up and grinned. "I'm so glad; this means that I can take that Second Grade Subtraction book that I bought for you back to the book store! Oh, you're so smart."

"That's mean." Roxas narrowed his eyes and started pouting, and Axel, in response, just laughed.

"It is not. You're just sensitive. Come here."

"I am here."

"Oh, see how smart you are? Two steps ahead of me." Axel smiled again and shifted Roxas's position on top of him so that the blonde was straddling his hips, pulled him into a close kiss.

"Yum." Roxas breathed, smiling and trailing his tongue across Axel's lower lip. "You taste like candy."

"Mm…what kind of candy?"

"Let's see…" Roxas parted his lips, and Axel invited himself in for another kiss. Gently, he traced the shape of Roxas's mouth with his tongue, and Roxas slid his own appendage into the redhead's mouth.

They kissed each other, pressing their mouths hard against each other's, and when they parted, each panting, Roxas was smiling. "Like Lemon Heads. You taste like Lemon Heads."

"Okay, what does that mean…" Axel looked up and pretended he was thinking, then smiled. "Okay. Well, 'lemon' is fangirl gay sex, and 'head' is what you're going to give me in a few minutes."

Roxas laughed and hid his face against Axel's neck, his chest moving with his soft giggles. "You are so dirty."

"You're kidding? God, I just showered before we left. Damned motel bathrooms…"

"Please." Roxas leaned back and rested his hands on Axel's knees, effectively pushing his hips against the other's. "You know what I mean."

"No, Roxy." Axel purred. "I'm not sure I do. But you could explain it to me if you want." He smiled deviously and leaned against the inside of the car door (the burnt orange Jeep Wrangler that he had stolen a few days ago; because no other color would suffice).

"Oh God…" Roxas smiled and blushed lightly, glanced out across the lake. "Well, you know…"

"Or, if its to hard to explain, you could just show me…"

The minute the words had passed his lips, Roxas knew what Axel was aiming for. Of course the other male had been smiling at him, staring at him like Roxas was a 12 oz. beef tenderloin (Axel's favorite dish).

"Are you a sex addict?" He asked, leaning forward and raising his eyebrows.

"No, I'm a Roxas DuPont addict." Axel replied, sticking his tongue out. "Now, if you don't mind, would you please fulfill my prophecy?"

"I don't think so." Roxas answered, returning the same devious smile. "However, if you don't mind taking off your shirt, I think we might be able to work out some kind of deal."

Axel hesitated for a moment, but after another glance from Roxas quickly shed the clothes that were protecting the upper half of his body. Before beginning, Roxas had to drink in the sight like he did almost each time they were together; Axel's toned muscles, his hard chest, tight abs…

"Axel, why do you have to be so delicious?" He purred. With that he leaned forward and began sucking on the junction between Axel's neck and shoulder, but wasn't just satisfied there. He began moving downward, running his tongue down the center of Axel's chest, down to his navel, and back up again.

"Ah…Roxy, that feels good…"

"Oh, really?" Roxas chuckled and navigated over to the left side of Axel's chest, running his tongue over his nipple. It was salty and cold from the wind blowing in from the lake, but under the heat of Roxas's tongue it swelled and became more plump.

"Are you aroused yet, Axel?" He purred, digging his knee into the crotch of Axel's cargo shorts.

"You tell me." The redhead gasped, and Roxas chuckled darkly.

"I think you are."

"Are you planning on doing something about it?"

"Hmm…" Roxas pulled back and put his finger to his lips like he was thinking, eyes narrowed. "I don't know. Do you think I should? I mean, I could make you suffer through the fireworks, wait until we get back to the motel…"

"Roxas, no way." Axel, too, narrowed his eyes, but much less playfully. "If you don't that, I so swear you will never see your parents again."

"You know, right now that isn't sounding like much of a bad thing."

"Oh God…" Axel groaned and leaned his head back, and as he did so Roxas chuckled and began unbuttoning his pants.

"I guess I'll take mercy on you…"

Axel gasped when his erection met the cold air, but it didn't last long; Roxas's mouth quickly shielded him from the wind, his tongue quickly stimulating the pleasure that it was expecting.

"Ah…Roxy…mm…"

Roxas chuckled with Axel's "business" still in his mouth, which earned him a soft moan from above and a thrust of Axel's hips into his mouth. He pulled away quickly, coughed, and glared playfully up.

"Careful…" He breathed. "You wouldn't want me gagging or choking or anything while I'm sucking on you."

"True…"

Roxas smiled and sat up, and Axel gave him a disappointed look. "What? Why? Keep going."

"I have something better in mind." Roxas answered softly. He got up on his knees and unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans, pulling them down, along with his boxers, to his knees.

"…Oh."

Roxas inched himself up so that he was hovering just above his lover's fully erect "business," leaned down on his shoulders, and took on of his hands. Without saying a word, just smiling broadly, and took three fingers of said hand into his mouth and began sucking on them harder than he had before, ran his tongue along each bump and crevice, wetting every inch.

"Yeah…I understand now…" Axel breathed. Roxas just opened his eyes, continued sucking, bobbing his head on the spidery-long digits. "I think they're ready."

The blonde sighed through his nose and pulled back, licking his lips, and smiling up at Axel. "I think you're right."

The redhead smiled and placed the palm of his hand on Roxas's ass, giving in a once over. "One at a time or all at once?"

Before Roxas had a chance to reply the fireworks began, and he looked over at them and smiled. "All at once."

Axel shrugged and moved the three fingers into position, then shoved them all into Roxas's waiting entrance without warning. Roxas's back arched instantly, and he tossed his head back and cried out, the scream drowned by the sound of the fireworks.

"Axel…hah…!"

"Okay, you're ready." Axel decided, pulled the fingers out and sitting Roxas down on his erection, impatience running through him, craving release.

Roxas began riding him instantly, needing release as much as Axel, grinding and moaning and crying out. The fireworks were going off behind him, faster now, the finale coming soon. The climax coming soon.

"Ah…Axel…yes…yes!" He rode him harder, arched his back so much so that his stomach was touching Axel's chest, digging his nails into the flesh of the redhead's shoulders. "Yes!"

The fireworks went off in rapid succession, the finale having arrived after what only seemed like a few moments, along with Roxas's orgasm. He ground his hips against Axel's, needing him so much, wanting him deeper and harder and faster…

"Axel…I'm…I'm…!" He cried out, coming messily between them, hearing Axel's moan through the fireworks as he released inside Roxas.

As each of them finished, about ten more fireworks went off, and as Axel watched his captive, his lover, his love lean against his chest in exhaustion and satisfaction, he saw the blues and golds, reds and greens reflecting off the lake, lighting up Roxas's face. The feeling of love and adoration swelled inside him, and he couldn't help but leaned down and press a sincere kiss against Roxas's forehead.

"I love you, Roxy." He whispered. "So, so much…"

"Mm…I love you, too." Roxas whispered back. He opened his eyes, smiled up at Axel, and sighed. "So, so much…"

A/N: Happy Fourth of July, everyone. ^^
