Saturday mornings are probably the most amazing out of the whole week. Just knowing you have another day ahead of you where you don't have to worry about getting a clients' picture ready, buying paint and what not. For all of you that don't know, I paint. Wait let me fix that, I paint for a living. I don't exactly earn alot, but its better than doing something I hate I guess.
I wake up to find Axel with his arms around my waist with his head nuzzled in my neck. My lips rise up in a smile as I run my hand through his hair, finding it surprising how my fingers didn't get tangled in it. I remember last night, our kiss. It was probably the most amazing thing that ever occurred in my life. Do I really like him? Because right now, as I lie here replaying that kiss. I think I do.
Axel lets out a moan as he stretches and looks up at me with a smile on his face. "Did you sleep well?" He says this as he swings his feet out of bed and stands up to stretch once more.
I shake my head yes as I get out of bed and walk up to him. "Probably the best sleep I've gotten in a while. Might've been because you were with me." I pull him in to an embrace and mumble against his chest. "Thank you so much, Axel."
His chest bounces slightly with every chuckle he lets out. "You're welcome Roxy." I look up at him to see him looking down at me. His eyes were filled with so much joy it made me happy. He brought his head down and rested his forehead against mine. I could feel that darn blush starting to creep on my cheeks. Then I thought, if I didn't like him I wouldn't be blushing like a fool. I'd be asking him what he thought he was doing. But I'm doing quite the opposite. I'm blushing, wanting him to get even closer to me than he is now. I think I actually love him. I feel his breath on my face and it was then that I got the urge to tell him.
"Axel," I wanted my voice to sound strong, but it chose to sound wimpy and scared like a child's voice would when spilling the beans about doing something wrong to their parents. But I didn't let that stop me. "I think I lo-"
The doorbell rings, making both of us jump in alarm. I sigh as I let go of Axel and make my way downstairs. Who the heck would come and ring my door bell on a Saturday morning? And choose right now! Right when I was going to confess to him. Axel is just a few steps behind me when I open the door. I wasn't surprised to see Sora with a sad look on his face. I knew what he was here for.
"Hey Roxas… How're you feeling? Can I come in?" I sigh as I open the door all the way and motion for him to come in. His eyes land on Axel on his way in and he stops, his eyes wide. I look at Axel and notice he was still topless and in boxers. A face palm was all I did. He swirls around with one brown brow raised. His thumb pointing over his shoulder at Axel, who looked really worried.
"Who the hell is he?" he hisses. "And why the hell is he half naked?" he shakes his head vigorously and starts again. "You go around fucking someone when your parents are dead? What the hell is wrong with you Roxas! I know you've been depressed lately but come on! Fucking strangers?"
There was a loud cracking sound as my hand met his face. His eyes widened and his mouth dropped open, clearly in shock. I had never laid my hands on him, and never wanted to.
I literally felt like dying right there, my eyes were spilling tears as I sprinted up to my room. I almost tripped near the top of the stairs but I caught my balance in time. I knew Axel was just a few seconds behind me, because he'd want to comfort me. But Sora… I knew that he was thinking over what he said, and how harsh his words sounded. I knew he wants to take it back but it's too damn late for that now. I might have forgiven him in the past for blurting things out without thinking, but now… he brought my parents into this and that's just fucked up.
I open the door and walk into my room and throw myself onto my bed. Not bothering to close the door behind me because I knew Axel would do it for me. I cry into my pillow, my chest was aching again, my eyes felt swollen, to the point where if I tried to open them I'd only see black. I cry like a girl into my pillow, hoping that maybe, just maybe my pain would go away.
Axel ran his hand up and down my back, and placed a kiss on my cheek. "Roxas…" He didn't say much, and I knew why. He knew nothing could make me happy at this moment, no matter how hard he tried he'd only end up with me crying in his arms.
"You know, your parents are here. I can sense them, and I can guarantee you that they want you to smile again. To be the Roxas they loved so much."
Except for that.
I sit up, trying hard to wipe the tears and snot off of my face. Here he goes again surprising me with his angel powers. He's smiling but I knew he was forcing it so I would smile back. I place my hand on his cheek, and I begin breaking into sobs again before I could talk to him. Before I could ask him if he could talk to them, if he could tell them I miss them terribly, although I think they know that by now. He pulls me into a hug and holds me tight, as if thinking that if he let me go I would disappear.
"Axel.." I ball my hands into fists to the point where my knuckles are a ghostly shade of white. "Can they h-hear me?" He nods softly, before speaking.
"Yes they can Roxy. The only thing is that you won't be able to hear them." I pull away enough so I can see him so I could ask him the question that's been bugging me.
"Can you hear them?" He sighs before nodding and my eyes open wide. "So if I talk to them then you'll tell me what they say back?"
"Roxas I've told you before, I'll do anything for you, even this." He brushes the tips of his fingers down the side of my face and I smile up at him. He was truly the most amazing person I've ever met.
"Thank you so much Axel." I felt like kissing him then, but then I thought that I should wait until I told him how I felt. It'd be better that way. So instead I hugged him, which was just as good.
"Mom, dad, you both know that I love you. I love you so much. I've been having problems trying to get over your death but ever since Axel showed up, I've been getting better. I just want you guys to know that I love you and that I'll never forget about you guys. Without you I wouldn't be the person I am now. Thank you so much." I smile at nothing at all, and Axel's hand squeezes my shoulder, causing me to look up at him.
"My dear Roxas, it's so nice to know you miss us, but we want you to be happy, your father and I want to see you with a smile on your face. Just like the one you had when we were still around. We're very glad Axel has helped you, and we hope he will always be there for you. Just remember Roxas, even if we aren't around, we will always be in your heart. So please… be happy." His green eyes were locked with mine as he spoke, and with every word he let out I felt my heart tighten. My parents want me to be happy, that's easier said than done. But since I love them I want to make everything up to them. I want to make them happy.
"I promise you, I'll be happy. I'll be the same Roxas you loved so much." A smile arrived on my face when Axel told me they smiled and vanished a few seconds later. It was nice having a conversation with them, even if I didn't actually hear them talk. Having Axel tell me what they said was more than enough for me.
There were knocks at my door and I could hear Sora talking on the other end. "Roxas… I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things. Hell I shouldn't have brought your parents up at all! Please forgive me, I know what I said was harsh, but you know how I am, I never think before I speak and.." He kept going, and going, and going. I had no other option but open the door. He was so annoying when he got like this.
His eyes lit up when he saw my face, but I stayed serious. I wasn't going to forgive him so easily.
"Roxas! Oh my god thank godn-" I cut him off and his eyes widened in fear.
"First things first, you can leave my house. Why the hell would you jump to conclusions like that? And why would you bring mom and dad into this? Sora you need to learn to think before you open that big mouth of yours. Oh and Axel here is a friend. I didn't have sex with him and never have. Now that I told you everything get your ass out of here before I do it for you." Yea I know I was harsh, but I think he needed to learn a lesson.
His eyes were watery as he turned and headed downstairs. A few minutes later I heard the front door open and close. I turned to find Axel sitting on the bed with a frown on his face. That was something I wasn't expecting. I took a seat next to him and threw him a questioning look.
"What's wrong Axel?" He looks down at me with a fake smile on his face, trying to make me smile back.
"I just ruined your relationship with your cousin. I knew you guys were really close." He ruffles the back of his head and I just smile up at him, he was just so caring.
"Don't worry about anything Axel, we always make up like nothing happened. But this time it's going to take a bit more time for that to happen." I look deep in his eyes and see some of that sadness wash away into pools of green. But only some of it.
"As long as it's nothing permanent, he's the one that has always been there for you." His hand cupped my cheek, and his thumb was softly brushing my skin. I leaned in to his touch, my action making him smile. Then I thought, why don't I tell him now? The moment seemed right, but after all that just happened I think its best if I wait. After all Axel won't be leaving, he has no where else to stay.
"That's true, but you've been there for me too, you said so yourself. I think that's all I need." He chuckled as he brought his nose to mine, so we could Eskimo kiss. This was probably one of those scenes in a movie where everyone would go aww. I mean Eskimo kisses were probably the most adorable things out there.
His face was so close to mine that I just couldn't help what I did next. I placed a kiss upon his lips. It was just a peck but I saw the effect it had on the red head. His eyes were wide, and there was confusion written on his face. While I on the other hand was blushing an unhealthy shade of red.
"Umm… I'm confused." His finger tips were over his lips, his eyes on me.
"I… I didn't really need much time to think. I guess." Woah, I promised my self I was going to wait, but I just couldn't help myself. Those pink lips were right there, I just had to kiss them.
"Really, Roxas?" He was clearly still confused, and that just made me smile even more.
"Do you want another kiss as proof?" His eyes widened even more, and his face flushed red, causing him to turn his face and look at the ground.
"Um, I believe you." He smiled down at me as he laced out fingers together. It finally happened, I finally had some one that will always be there for me. Some one I could love and have them love me back in return. That's something I've never had in these long 19 years I call my life.
My stomach ruined the moment by growling, asking for food now, not later but now. He laughs at me causing me to laugh along with him.
As he began standing up, I grabbed his wrist and pulled him down for a kiss. It took him a moment but he was kissing back. The feeling of those soft lips on mine was enough to send me flying. I mean they were amazing. He gently brushed his tongue over my bottom lip begging for entrance, and I gladly approved. His wet muscle entered my mouth and I almost fainted right there.
My face must have been red as a cherry or even worse for all I knew. This kiss was amazing, our tongues were moving about slowly, the taste of cinnamon took over my mouth and I knew that was the taste of Axel, and I absolutely loved it. He was the one that broke the kiss and I think it was for the best. I would've died from loss of oxygen.
I smile a genuine smile up at him and I finally see pure happiness in those green orbs. That's when I knew that there wouldn't be anymore sad nights, no more nightmares, or anymore crying. All because we were together and that was enough to chase away all the sadness and anything that would do me harm.
I stand up from the bed and race him down stares yelling; "Last one down does the dishes!" Axel smirks as he began running.
"Best watch out Roxy, there's no way I'm loosing!" I smirk because halfway to the kitchen I placed a kiss on his cheek, causing him to stop wide eyed with a blush forming on his cheeks.
"No fair Roxy, that was dirty!" My laugh echoes around the empty house as he walks up to me and pouts.
I shake my head still chuckling and poke his nose. "I'm sorry. I just couldn't help my self. I'll be nice this time around and help you with the dishes."
We both laughed as we made pancakes and sent pancake mix flying everywhere. We where just like little kids, dipping our fingers in the mixture and wiping them on each others faces.
Our laughs filled the whole room and I liked it. I liked not living in a quiet house anymore. I liked having Axel by my side. I liked not having an aching heart.
A/N
Holy jeevas I hate how this story is fueled by my depressing life. Grrr.
Anyways I'm sorry for the long wait, I've been dealing with some stuff at home and I never got a chance to write.
Also for those of you that read Bad Boys Need Love Too I'm thinking of changing it to either Roxas or Axels' POV. I've been having trouble writing 3rd person ever since I started doing POV -
So yea expect weird changes. Send a review and tell me what you think of this story so far, also you can tell me of what to include later on and such. I'm open for advice~~
Until next time!
