Chapter 4

“Xemnas my liege…”

The silver haired nobody turns and faces his two most loyal Organization members. Saix and Vexen approach their superior and bow in deep respect for him.

“Yes, number IV and number VII?” Xemnas sighed in minor annoyance as he stared back out through the symbolic windows of his castle, silently worshipping Kingdom Hearts glowing in the midnight sky.

“Number VIII and the key of destiny, number XIII…” Vexen spoke calmly and quietly, fearing his superior’s reaction.

Xemnas smiled wickedly. “Number VIII is of no worry to us…he will not interfere with Kingdom Hearts…”

“But my liege…” Saix started, hoping for an opportunity to punish his lower ranking fellow member.

“That is all, number VII…number VIII has been given his warning…He will be destroyed if his loyalties come into question…”

Xemnas motioned to be left alone and continued his scheming, worshipping and obsessing for the power he so craves.

“Soon my Kingdom Hearts…soon...”

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Meanwhile, the light sound of buzzing neon signs and droplets from a recent rainfall break the silence…the emptiness of the world that never was. Roxas halted his patrol to stare up at the heart shaped moon, glowing eerily in the sky.

[ I don’t know if I can do this…] he thought to himself. Endless doubts had plagued his mind about Organization XIII and the non-existence of nobodies since that night with Axel.

[ Roxas…I love you…] Axel’s voice caressed his thoughts and he closes his eyes, imagining the intense expressions on the redhead’s face as he made love to him.

Roxas suddenly remembered, he had not seen Axel in a while. Perpetual nightfall made it almost impossible to track the passage of time in this world but all Roxas could recall was feeling Axel cradling him during sleep and disappearing before he awoke the next night.

Ever since Axel made love to him, he stopped sleeping in his chambers. He would open a portal and sneak into Axel’s room when all of the other Organization members were out of sight.

Axel and Roxas were always together. They patrolled together, they fought together and on quiet rainy nights when the Organization members were not away, they would lay together by a fire created by Axel. The redhead would lace his fingers through Roxas’ hair while listening to Demyx strum his sitar.

Altogether, it wasn’t an unpleasant non-existence…as long as he had Axel.

Tonight, Axel was nowhere to be found, along with a few other members of the Organization.

Roxas patrolled alone. He found the thudding in his chest return as a mild worry came over him. He knew staying with the Organization would be impossible if Axel was gone. He rushed through the castle gateway and into the halls. He could hear Demyx playing his sitar in the library so he rushed up the spiraled stairs towards the sound.

Demyx jumped at the sound of the door being flung open and stopped his strumming.

“Hey there Roxas…” Demyx smiled brightly. “I didn’t think anybody came in here…except for Vexen and Zexion…they’re always..”

“Where’s Axel?” Roxas cut him off.

Demyx frowned. He had always loved the friendship he developed with Axel and Roxas over time but secretly, wished for nothing but something more to come of it.

“Castle Oblivion I’m sure…” Demyx voice was lower and not so cheery anymore. “Xemnas gave orders to him and like 5 others to keep watch over the place while observing a new…visitor...”

“Oh…” Roxas lowered his head. He didn’t know why he was making such a fuss over Axel not being around. “Wonder why he didn’t say anything…”

“He’s just trying to protect you Roxas…” Demyx stated flatly and continued to play a melancholy tune on his sitar.

“From what?” Roxas walked closer to Demyx, curious as to what kind of danger he could possibly be in. Things had be surprisingly peaceful for him even though doubt constantly interrupted his thoughts. The visions and ‘memories’ he was having had stopped completely and all he could remember about his nobody life… was Axel.

Demyx’s eyes widened as he remembered being told not to disclose any information about Castle Oblivion to Roxas.

“Nothing man, just chill…he’ll be back” Demyx rolled his eyes and gazed at Roxas secretly while pretending to concentrate on his music.

Roxas sighed and sat down next to Demyx on the couch by the window, letting himself sink into a relaxed state, surrounded by soothing tones and in the presence of the only other nobody besides Axel that he actually liked.

“Demyx…do you feel?” Roxas asked out of nowhere.

Demyx continued to pluck notes randomly as he looked up at Roxas. “What do you mean?”

“I mean, do you feel?…Can you hurt?…Can you worry?…Can you love?” the blonde answered passionately.

Demyx thought to himself and thought of his yearning to be touched. He thought of the jealousy he had towards Axel and Roxas’ relationship. He thought…of the love he had for Axel since the day he met him.

“Uh…Yea…I think I can…” He frowned, feeling as if he would never get to experience any of the more pleasant feelings for himself.

“I knew it…” Roxas smiled to himself, confirming his doubts about nobodies and their non-feelings. “You know, I always thought that there as something inside of us, even if it’s not whole, it’s there….crushing inside your chest at any given moment…that…”

“Beating inside yourself you feel every time you see…that someone…” Demyx finished Roxas’ sentence. He looked up at Roxas and smiled, masking his sadness.

Roxas laughed lightly, “Yea…” He rose from the couch and turned to leave. “Hey…Thanks Demyx…” He smiled and closed the library door behind him, thinking about Axel, the insistent beating in his chest and his feelings that he now knows are shared among other nobodies like himself.

“No prob...” Demyx sighed and drowned himself in his own melodious world.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Roxas wandered out into the silent halls of the castle. The only sound audible is the Demyx’s soft playing and his own footsteps.

Suddenly, a portal opens in front of him and his eyes light up as Axel steps through. A desperate expression is painted across his face and his skin is beaded with a light sweat. His wild red hair is ruffled as if he had been fighting. Before Roxas can speak, Axel rushes towards him and crushes him in a tight embrace.

“Oh Roxas...” Axel almost sounds as if he is about to break. He gazes into Roxas eyes and pulls him closer into a deep and passionate kiss.

Roxas smells the ash and flame on Axel’s coat and can tell something happened while he was at Castle Oblivion. It was as if Axel was holding him like it would be the last time.

Axel clung to Roxas and bit his lower lip, deepening their kiss and lacing his fingers through the blonde’s untamed hair.

Roxas was overwhelmed by Axel’s intense need to feel him and he began to feel himself harden and want to give Axel anything he wanted. Axel felt his lover’s growing arousal and pinned him to a nearby wall, unzipping his coat quickly, not caring who might see them together. Roxas groaned at Axel’s quick and passionate ministrations as he opened Axel’s coat to feel their bare skin together.

Axel moaned loudly as Roxas pulled from their kiss to bury his face in his neck, sucking and biting at the sensitive skin. Roxas then dropped to his knees before his lover and opened his pants slowly.

“Roxas…” Axel whimpered as he gazed down at Roxas with an aroused and almost sad expression on his face.

Roxas pulls his lover’s cock from his pants and begins to trace his tongue over the head gently. The sound of Axel’s passionate moans encourage him further as he slides his entire length into his eager mouth.

Axel gasps and his eyes slide shut, drowning in the endless pleasure given to him by Roxas. [I don’t want this to ever end…I love you so much Roxas]

Roxas glides his lover’s cock in and out of his mouth, savoring the ashen taste of spent flames and Axel’s own unique sweetness against his tongue.

Axel’s legs begin to weaken as he is tired from his previous battles and feels as if he can easily give in to Roxas’ skilled workings. He traces his fingers through Roxas hair and over his cheek, lifting his head to face him and bring him to his feet. The redhead buries his face in his neck as he tugs his pants from his waist, leaving his lower half bare.

Axel lifts Roxas up against the wall, forcing the blonde to wrap his legs around his hips to steady himself.

“Roxas, I don’t ever want to lose you…” Axel confesses as he continues to kiss and bite at Roxas’ neck.

“You never will…” Roxas pants into Axel’s ear. “Now take me…”

Axel moans and presses his slick cock against Roxas’ opening. Roxas grips his arms around Axel’s neck and squeezes his eyes shut.

“Oh god…” Roxas cries out as Axel begins to slowly pump the blonde against the wall. He buries his head in the redhead’s neck, inhaling the scent of flames and hot embers against his skin and hair. “Your scent is intoxicating Axel…I want it on me for days…”

Axel smiles and bites down on Roxas’ lip before pressing him into a heated kiss. His arms wrapped tightly around the blonde’s backside, spreading him wide and thrusting harder into him.

Roxas groans and he holds one hand to Axel’s lips. Axel runs his tongue over the blonde’s palm and over his fingers, sucking harshly on one finger and biting another. Roxas smirks and brings his hand down to stroke himself in time with Axel’s desperate fucking.

“Ah…Roxas…” Axel moans and he tilts his head back, riding out the pleasure coursing through every inch of his body. He snaps his hips forward over and over, savoring the sound of his name escaping his lover’s lips with every powerful thrust.

Roxas feels himself reaching the end. His muscles tighten and he leans his head back against the wall, feeling the cool marble against his hair and through his open coat.

“Cum inside me Axel…” Roxas whispers as he pumps himself vigorously, pre-cum spilling over his fingers.

“Ah…I…” Axel stammers before his mouth gapes open and a moan escapes in place of words as he releases himself deep inside his lover.

The deep warmth inside Roxas sends him over the edge and he spills himself into his hand and onto Axel’s chest.

“I love you Axel…” Roxas pants as he loosens his grip around Axel’s waist.

“I love you so much Roxas” Axel nuzzles against the blonde’s neck as he releases him from the wall, his legs becoming weak from his own weight added with supporting Roxas.

Roxas stands in mild shock as Axel just stands there, embracing him against the wall, clinging endlessly to him.

“What happened in Castle Oblivion?” Roxas suddenly asked as he continues to hold Axel against his sweat covered body.

Axel releases Roxas from his embrace and gazes sadly into his concerned eyes. “Nothing Roxas…just things that made me realize how much I don’t want to lose you…”

Confused, Roxas decided not to pry and just enjoy being in his lover’s arms. The couple rights their clothing and Axel lifts Roxas into his arms and carries him to his chambers.

“Axel, I talked to Demyx today…” Roxas spoke as he lay spooned against Axel, gazing out the window by his bed.

“Yea?…about what?” Axel replied in a daze, twirling his fingers through Roxas’ hair, taking in the detail of every strand.

“We do feel Axel, I know we do now! I want to know how my discoveries are linked to my importance with Xemnas’ plan and the key blade…” Roxas said passionately.

“We aren’t whole Roxas…Xemnas promised us all we could be whole again in the Organization…promised us all the key blade would unlock Kingdom Hearts, giving us the power to be whole again…but you know what?”

“What?” Roxas smiled as he played with Axel’s fingers laced around his waist…

“I don’t care about any of that anymore because you make me whole….you make me forget why I even joined this Organization…” Axel laughed and shook his head.

The couple continued to lay in each other’s arms, distancing themselves from the white world of nobody existence and momentarily forgetting the uncomfortable pits forming in the stomachs, an omen of dangerous times ahead…
