Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roxas looked up at Axel as he said he didn't want Roxas to go. He had Axel's shirt in his other hand while his left held his own. He tried to force himself to say something to Axel to explain why he felt like he needed to leave, but when Axel seemed to actually give him a choice, saying he wanted Roxas to stay, the blond bit his lip. He glanced over at Demyx, who just gave him an encouraging smile then turned back to the game. Roxas intook a deep breath then let it out slowly as he dropped his shirt and put Axel's back on again. He glanced down at the floor. "I just..," he whispered, noticing Demyx went back to playing his game to give them a little privacy. "I just...wanted today to be special...between us...but I feel dumb for thinking like that. You know I'm not good with showing my feelings, and I...I took my walls down for you. I feel so exposed, and it's uncomfortable." He let out a shakey sigh again. "Can I sit in your lap while you and Dem play?" he asked softly, reaching forward and sliding his hand down to Axel's, slipping his fingers between his friend's, letting him know he wasn't leaving. He knew he had to stop running away from everything, it was just hard to follow through with.

"Ha! Don't think that'll stop me!" Demyx laughed, hearing that things were all good now. He watched Axel put his hair up then drag Roxas into his lap, the small blond laughing a little as he plopped down on the redhead. "Let the games begin!" the tall blond cheered, starting a new game.

Roxas curled up in Axel's lap, leaning back against the redhead as he got comfortable. About fifteen minutes into the game, though, he passed out, exhausted from the day's events. He just kind of slumped against Axel, breathing deeply. At the end of one of the rounds, Demyx glanced over at Axel, then down at Roxas. He laughed lightly. "Looks like someone's worn out," he told him, gesturing to him. He glanced back up at Axel then, setting the conroller down. "So you two finally did it, huh?" he asked softly. "How's Roxas taking the whole fact that you still aren't one for relationships?"

Demyx hummed at Axel's question, actually taking a moment to think about it. "You know...Roxas doesn't want you to leave. That's obvious, but I know that he wouldn't let you stay because of how dead-set you are on getting out of here--at least for a little while. You've put so much planning into this, and both me and him know how much leaving this place is important to you. I think... Axel, I think you'll be miserable a few years down the road because you'll feel like your life's passing you by, and you could have achieved your goals earlier on. Because what if you and Roxas got really serious, and he couldn't go with you? I think he would rather suffer through a year or two without you and then maybe have you for the rest of his life than have that gap in his life without you after you've gotten close," he told him truthfully, looking down at Roxas. "He wants you to do what makes you happy, and he'll go with whatever decision you make as long as he knows you'll be okay with it later on and don't regret it. I think that's why he's so closed-up all of the time. He doesn't want you to see his hurt, so he doesn't have to see you hurt. Ya know?"

Demyx smiled at Axel's words. "My advice? Buy the plane ticket. He'll be here when you get back, and then you'll have a world of things to talk to him about when it happens. But you won't rest easy if you miss out on this opportunity, Ax, and you know it. And he'll feel guilty because you didn't get to go have your experience because of him. So I would just spend as much time as possible with him until you leave, then when you get back you can pick up where you left off, because you know he'll always wait for you," Demyx told him, watching Roxas grunt and shift in Axel's arms slightly, snuggling up to him. "You know what? I'm gonna head home and try to get some homework done for once. You two lovebirds snuggle up and go to sleep. You've had a long day," he said, standing up and stretching. "Plus, with his back, that's gonna start hurting him in a while laying like that," he joked, turning the game off. "Don't worry, Ax. You two will make the right decision together. I know it," he told him with a wink then patted him on the head and laughed lightly, waving as he walked out of Axel's room. Then he popped back in quickly and added, "Oh! And at least consider going to prom for him. He really wants to dance with you. Like, really. He won't shut up about it," the blond grinned, rolling his eyes. "You never know how the night'll end up. Ciao!" he said happily and grabbed his keys before leaving the house.

Roxas stirred slightly as the front door closed, and he groaned, blinking up at Axel. Then he glanced over to where Demyx had sat then back up at him. "Mm... Where'd Dem go?" he asked groggily, sitting up slightly in Axel's lap and rubbing his eye, stretching soon after and groaning as his back popped three times. "Ah...my back's ******** up again already," he whined before curling back up against Axel.

Roxas smiled when Axel said they got to cuddle longer. "I would love a massage whenever I can get one," he told him as he curled up in bed, waiting for Axel to join him. When he did, he almost immediately clung onto him, humming happily as he let his body relax. He liked this role-switch--him holding Axel instead of being engulfed in the redhead's arms. He gently ran his fingers through Axel's hair, detangling it slightly as he closed his eyes.

When Axel began kissing his neck, he nuzzled into his hair and let out a light laugh. "I thought it was sleepy-time," Roxas said with another laugh. He laughed more when Axel began playing with his ear. "Mmhmm, I do know what you mean," he said softly, reveling in the feeling of being in Axel's arms. His fingertips danced gently up and down Axel's back wherever he could reach, one of Roxas's legs draping over Axel's legs to get him closer, just for intimacy's sake.

Roxas laughed softly at Axel's flirting with him. He hummed softly as kisses were trailed down his neck. Then he looked down into Axel's pleading eyes and gave a sigh, rolling his own. "You are ridiculous, you know that?" he asked as he slid his fingers up into Axel's hair. Slowly, his fingers climbed higher at the back of Axel's head, and then he gripped onto his locks gently. "You can do whatever you want, but I'm gonna be lazy," he told him, giving him a little shrug. He loosened his grip, playing with the locks of hair once more. He lowered his voice and looked down at Axel flirtatiously as he mumbled, "My body's yours to play with." He practically purred at him, trailing his fingers along his skin once more.

"Mm..," he hummed in delight as Axel slid his shirt off of him. He couldn't help the smile as Axel smirked at him. "Good. That's what I was going for," he purred back and watched Axel lower himself onto his chest. Roxas whimpered softly as his nipples were toyed with. Then he let out a low moan, back arching slightly as those big hands explored his body. "Mm...you're almost...ah...making me not want to be lazy..," he groaned out, fingers sliding over Axel's hair and twitching from the pleasure he was receiving. "But I wanna see what you can really do to me to make me squirm," he breathed, looking down his chest at him with hooded eyes and a small smirk on his lips.
