Christmas Eggnog

Green eyes watched with adoration shining in them at the two boys conversing in the hallway. One was grumbling angrily while the taller one laughed loudly. The owner of the eyes couldn’t help but smile as the taller boy pinched the smaller one’s cheeks playfully, making the other lash out with a blush on his face. The ringing of a bell made the two part and Olette couldn’t help but laugh softly as she watched Roxas jump and turn his head to glare back at Axel. She could only assume that Axel had gave the blonde one of his “butt-taps” again.

Roxas was still blushing deeply as he approached the waiting Olette and he turned his glare on her when he noticed her smile. Olette giggled and began walking to their next class, Roxas following behind.

“You two seem to be getting along lately.” Olette commented as she sat down and watched as Roxas did the same.

“I guess…” He mumbled and set his head on his desk, ending the conversation. Olette said nothing more.

If Roxas was being honest with himself, he would admit that he was getting along a bit too well with Axel lately. It had been a whole three weeks since the redhead had given him a ride home, and true to what he said, Roxas was starting to try and see Axel in a new light. It was working better than Roxas had originally thought possible.

The school day that had followed the one at the hospital was the starting point. After Axel had left, Roxas spent most of the night trying to find a single reason to truly dislike the teen. He was slightly surprised when he couldn’t find one.
When he arrived at school, the redhead had found him almost instantly and attached himself to Roxas’s hip from then on. Axel’s attraction to the blond was around the school a few minutes after that. Even without the popularity that automatically came from being around Axel, students were talking with Roxas much more than they used to.
Of course, this was because he no longer looked like a nerd, having decided to drop the hat and glasses altogether, especially considering everyone knew his “secret” anyway. Having this knowledge, Roxas’s attitude towards others was quite sour and they soon left him alone. Well, the majority of them. It was easy to see which ones just wanted to be his friend because of his new status, and ones that didn’t.

In addition to school drama, Roxas’s attention was far more occupied with the one involving Axel. Since that day, the two had begun to spend more and more time together. It started with more text messages and phone calls going back and forth between them, then to Axel showing up with some lunch for Roxas during his breaks at work. The redhead would always be there when he was done working as well. Never with his car, Axel said that walking together at night was far more romantic, which seemed to be one of Axel’s favorite things to be.

His mother fawned over the dozens and dozens of flowers that he had received, but Roxas was only embarrassed. He would find them in the oddest of places, always with a terribly cheesy note holding either a poem or sweet words. Sometimes they just showed up on his doorstep, but other times Roxas would find messages with riddles in them, in which he would then go on a scavenger hunt around his neighborhood to find the prize.

These antics went on for about a week, Roxas being stubborn as always and refusing to admit how much he actually enjoyed the things Axel did. That was about the time the two started to hang out even when Roxas didn’t have to work. At first it was simply Axel joining Roxas and his friends out somewhere, but that only lasted a few days before the redhead convinced Roxas to go out on a few casual dates with him.

Despite Roxas’s wary attitude towards going, he found that Axel’s ideas of dates always had him having the best of times. He didn’t bother with stereotypical trips to the movies or awkward dinners. No, Axel’s style wasn’t to waste time in frivolous things like that. Considering Roxas’s work schedule and the time spent at school, most of the time they spent together was at night. According to Axel, it was the best time of the day to go out. The two would walk through the park and maybe, if they were awake enough, drop by the beach for a dip and some sand-castle making. Roxas always had so much fun when he went out with Axel, and the redhead really started to grow on him. In fact, he would even go as far as to say he was starting to return Axel’s feelings.

And this is how Roxas found himself now. Spending almost every spare moment with the other teen and getting closer and closer to him, his own feelings for the redhead getting stronger and stronger as the days went by.

Roxas pouted to himself as he cuddled his head into his arms. Olette watched, amused as she watched her friend struggle with his new feelings. Over this entire ordeal, Roxas always gave Olette details of things that happened, and she realized it even before Roxas that he was beginning to fall for Axel. She could see how perfect they were for each other, and couldn’t help but wonder when the two would finally make it official.

As a matter of fact, Axel had been searching for the right moment to ask Roxas properly. He was well aware that the blonde felt something for him, he was just unsure of how deep those feelings were. But Axel wasn’t one to let tiny fears stop him so he decided he would do it tonight. Suddenly fairly determined, Axel couldn’t wait until school was over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Nope. You don’t deserve popcorn now.” Axel stuck out his tongue at the pouting blonde as he lifted the bucket of popcorn even further away from his place on his couch.

“Aw come on Axel! I didn’t mean it!” Roxas exclaimed as he tried to reach over Axel’s chest to grab at the popcorn, but his arm wasn’t long enough. He growled softly in irritation at the amused look on Axel’s face as he waved the popcorn teasingly in front of Roxas’s face, only to pull it back when the teen tried to grab it.

Roxas snapped and jumped at Axel, falling over his lap as he successfully grabbed the crunchy treat. He wrapped his arm around it and grinned up at Axel’s face, which still had the same coy smile it had before. For a moment, Roxas didn’t understand, but then he felt an arm wrap around his waist and pull him closer so that his head hit Axel’s chest.

“H-hey.” Roxas stammered as Axel took the bucket out of Roxas’s hand and set it aside. With his eyes boring into the blonde’s, Axel used his free hand to set it under one of Roxas’s thighs and pull him completely onto his lap. He had to resist a chuckle at the wide-eyed look he was receiving. He’d already learned how his intense gaze affected Roxas, and Axel swore he could almost hear the fast beating of Roxas’s heart.

He didn’t remove his gaze as he gently cupped Roxas’s cheek and ever so lightly brushed his lips against his. While Roxas was still in a minor state of shock, Axel flipped him around so that Roxas was now settled in between his legs facing the television, his back to the redhead’s chest. He wrapped his arms tightly around the smaller one’s waist and began to watch the movie.

Roxas made a tiny noise of protest, but didn’t struggle against it. Eyes still as wide as saucers, he tried to calm his spastic heart. How could Axel just do that?! One minute he was looking so intense that Roxas froze, and then the next he was back to his goofy self. It gave Roxas a whip-lash because he could never keep up. The redhead pulled this stuff all the time, and because it ended just as quickly as it started, Roxas never had time to freak out about it all, he was too busy trying to get back up to speed.

Pouting out his lower lip, he allowed himself to lean back against Axel’s chest and was amazed at how comfortable it was. He crossed his arms in an attempt to look like he didn’t enjoy it, but he felt the rumble of Axel’s chuckle and knew that it was useless to pretend.

They remained like that for the remainder of the movie. Every few minutes Axel could feel the blonde in his arms get more and more relaxed and he couldn’t help but smile softly.

When the movie finally ended Axel expected Roxas to immediately jump up, but instead he just continued laying there. Slightly perplexed, though admittedly happy, the redhead sat up a bit more and he could hear Roxas groan and snuggle closer.

“Roxie?” Axel asked, amazed at the new attitude. When no reply came he finally put it together. Roxas had fallen asleep. Chuckling, he lifted the light teen into his arms and stood up before setting Roxas back down onto the couch.
Axel just barely resisted tackling him when the blonde whined and cuddled into a ball. But he somehow managed to control himself and left for just a moment. He came back with a blanket and set it over the sleeping teen. The redhead couldn’t help but stare at the blonde for a moment before he headed into the kitchen.
Taking his phone out of his pocket, Axel dialed a number before putting it to his ear.

“Hello, Sam? This is Axel. I was wanted to call and tell you that Roxas fell asleep so he’s just gonna stay over here tonight if that’s alright with you.” He nodded his head as he listened to Roxas’s mother talk for a moment. As he did this, he also filled a teapot with water and set it on the stove before lighting it.

“Okay I’ll have him call you tomorrow. Goodnight to you too.” He hung up the phone and set it down. He was glad that Samantha liked him so much. She really approved of him padding after her son, which surprised Axel. But he wasn’t going to complain, especially when she was rooting for him. Smiling at his good luck, Axel continued the preparations for tea, waiting for his lovely blonde to wake up.

It took precisely two hours for Roxas to wake up. At first, the teen didn’t know where he was as he sat up and saw the big television and the smell of a fireplace burning. His eyes became accustomed to the dim light and Roxas realized he was in Axel’s house. Wondering where the redhead was, Roxas got up and walked into the kitchen. Sure enough, he was there.

“What time is it?” Roxas asked in a groggy voice. Axel looked up from his seat at the table and blinked at the blonde standing there.

“Just about eleven. I called your mom already and told her you were staying here tonight. Want something?” he asked but only got a shake of the head. Roxas sat down in one of the free chairs next to Axel.

“Why didn’t you wake me up?” He asked.

“You just looked too adorable sleeping in my arms.” Axel teased, receiving a hit to the arm in retribution, but he also got a decent blush so he was happy.

“Shut up. Don’t tell me you watched me sleep.” Roxas rolled his eyes.

“Only for the first few minutes.” Axel wiggled his eyebrows at him and got a bashful turn of the head instead.

“Pervert…” Roxas murmured to himself but he couldn’t stop the smile that appeared on his lips at the thought.

“So now that you’re awake, what do you want to do? Watch another movie?” Axel asked as he reached into the bowl of assorted candies and threw some in his mouth. Roxas shook his head.

“Not really. I’m actually still pretty tired.” He yawned at that moment, proving his point.

“We can move on up to my room.” Axel suggested with a hopeful smile that withered under the look Roxas was giving him.

“…Was I really supposed to fall for that?” Roxas asked blankly.

“It would have been nice. Smartass.” Axel stuck out his tongue and threw a candy at the blonde playfully. “Don’t deny it, you want to.” He added. Roxas glared at him.

“I do not.”

“Ya know Roxie, I don’t see how you can still be fighting this.” The redhead started and put a hand up to keep Roxas from interrupting him. “We both know that you like me, a lot I would say. And you have already known how much I love you. Aren’t you tired of pretending you don’t want to?” Axel asked, turning his eyes on Roxas and watching the teen chew on his lip as he thought. He was staring down at the floor, refusing to meet Axel’s eyes before what he’d said just sunk in.

"Did you just say love?" He asked disbelievingly as he snapped his head up. Axel couldn’t help but glance away at the question.

“Well yeah. Did you think I would have kept after you all this time if I wasn’t completely in love with you? Is that why you‘ve been avoiding this? You didn‘t think I loved you?”

Axel had hit the nail on the head perfectly, and they both knew it. But Roxas couldn’t help the feeling in his stomach that said Axel could still turn on him. He wasn’t sure he wanted to take the risk, but as he glanced up at Axel, Roxas suddenly realized that he might just take the risk if he could keep feeling the way he does when he was with Axel, he did just say he loved him right?

The redhead patiently waited for Roxas to say something. He had learned enough about Roxas over the past month to be aware of the insecurities Roxas was trying to work through. But…A little push in the right direction couldn’t hurt, could it?. While the blonde was distracted within his thoughts Axel held Roxas’s chin in his hands, turning his head up to his. Seeing that he was still chewing on his bottom lip, Axel chuckled softly and used his thumb to make him release it.

“Look, you’ve almost made it bleed…” he murmured softly as he brought his lips to Roxas’s, licking at the reddened skin. Gently Axel moved against the lips beneath his, drawing a surprised gasp from the teen. Using the advantage, the redhead deepened the kiss and slipped his tongue into the warm mouth.

Roxas was so surprised he couldn’t do anything to stop it. His taste buds exploded with the flavor that could only known as Axel; pine with a hint of the chocolates he had eaten moments before. With each stroke of Axel’s tongue against his Roxas’s brain shut down further and further. Without even realizing it he had brought his hands up to entangle themselves in red locks and bring himself closer to the older teen.

Axel continued to plunder Roxas’s mouth with all of the pent-up feelings he had. All of the passion he felt towards the fiery blonde was poured into this one kiss. Even without words Axel told Roxas exactly how he felt, and he finally got an answer in return.

It took a lot of willpower to be able to pull himself away from those sweet, sweet lips but Axel somehow managed to do so. He looked deeply into Roxas’s eyes and was overjoyed with seeing how hazy they were.

“Think we should move up to my bedroom now?” he murmured softly, a smile slowly appearing on his face as he watched unfocused blue eyes turn to look up at him.

“Yeah…” came the breathless reply. Axel brought his lips to Roxas’s once more to share a passionate kiss. The blonde was more than happy to participate as he wrapped his arms around the redhead’s neck. Axel responded by grabbing a handful of the blonde’s tight backside and picking him up to force Roxas into wrapping his legs around his waist.

With clumsy steps Axel made his way through the house and up the stairs, his mouth never leaving Roxas’s for a second. Images of their drunken night flashed through both of their minds but neither of them wanted to dwell on the past. Instead, they focused on the feel of the other’s body against their own and the heat that radiated between them.

Axel dropped Roxas onto his bed and moved to straddle the smaller body as he stared down at him with piercing green eyes.

“Roxie. Are you sure?” He asked. No matter how much he might want to sleep with the boy again, Axel refused to do it if he wasn’t positive it was what Roxas wanted. He couldn’t risk messing things up again and ruining what they currently had.

On the other side, Roxas was having his own doubts. But as he looked up at the concerned expression on Axel’s face, all the worries he had seemed to float away from his mind. He liked Axel, a lot, more than a lot. He loved being around him and as he thought more and more about the whole thing, he realized that the only thing he really wanted to do was be with the redhead. Not only as a friend, but even closer than that. With that revelation in his head, Roxas looked directly in Axel’s eyes as he nodded.

“Yes Axel, I’m sure.” He said with a smile as he pulled Axel down to kiss him again. Immediately he felt the other’s tongue sliding along his lips, into his mouth and running along the roof of it. Roxas moaned as he felt a cold pair of hands caressing his sides and lifting up his shirt. It was soon discarded and Axel’s mouth moved down to bite at the neck he was presented with as he hands continued to explore a flat stomach and soft skin.

After feasting on the delectable neck for a few moments Axel moved even further down Roxas’s chest, littering it with nips and kisses, leaving small hickeys in his wake even while he licked at a pink nipple. He heard Roxas gasp and couldn’t help but tease it between his teeth until he felt it harden. Letting it fall from his mouth he gave the same treatment to the other bud, licking at it and nibbling it lightly until it was just as hard as its twin.

“A-axel…” The redhead shivered at the breathless, erotic tone of voice and leaned up to kiss him deeply.

“It’s okay Roxie, just breathe.” He murmured as once again he began his path down his chest while the blonde tried to control his breathing. A tongue was swirling along his bellybutton now and Roxas could barely keep himself breathing at all, let alone calmly. On the other hand, it just felt so good!

Roxas's skin felt like it was on fire, every touch of Axel's tongue to his body felt like it was pushing him further and further into the flames of passion. He moaned when he felt a set of teeth bite into his hip, the action oddly erotic considering Roxas hadn't even realized his pants were off in the first place. But now that he did, he was well aware of the hot breathe against his now free swollen member and he let out a sultry moan as the redhead continued to tease him, driving him mad with unresolved need.

Bypassing Roxas’s erection completely, Axel moved down to nibble at creamy thighs as he worked open a bottle of lube that the blonde hadn’t even noticed he had. Pouring a significant amount onto his fingers, Axel rubbed them slowly along Roxas’s crack, knowing that was the right move because he felt his lover’s body tense up immediately after. Continuing his slow pace, Axel ran a finger from the arch of the blonde’s tailbone all the way to his perineum and back, feeling Roxas relax slowly at the gesture.

He grabbed onto Roxas’s erection just as he pushed a single finger into him, making the boy gasp at the strange feeling. Roxas barely remembered what happened that night so long ago, but he definitely didn’t remember this strange feeling of something being inside him. He groaned in slight pain as he felt another finger move with the other, Axel scissoring them and stretching his hole for what was to come. The fingers were slowly moving in and out of him, and it didn’t take too long for Roxas to grow accustomed to the feeling.

However, when a third finger entered him he cried out and grabbed on to Axel’s hair, the closest thing to him. Shushing him, Axel stroked the blonde’s erection as he maneuvered his digits around inside of him. He pressed down on Roxas’s prostate and watched in awe as his face expressed sheer pleasure and he gave out a rather provocative moan as his hips bucked down in order to get his fingers deeper.

“Ah! God, Axel!”

Axel moved his fingers inside Roxas as he continued to stroke his erection. Every time he pressed on his prostate, Roxas would let out another loud moan and call out his name. Imagining how beautiful his name would sound being screamed from those lips, Axel removed his fingers from Roxas’s body, receiving a groan of disapproval that made him grin. He grabbed Roxas’s legs and set his calves over his shoulders. Staring down at gorgeous blue eyes, he once again searched for the approval he knew he’d find there.

“Ready?” he asked, slightly breathless in his own desire to just plunge into the body below him. Roxas nodded, setting his hands lightly against the redhead’s biceps.

“Hurry up!” he growled out. Chuckling, Axel slowly pressed in. As expected, Roxas’s first reaction was the clench down on the thing invading his body, trying to push it out. Holy fuck it hurt a lot! Grinding his teeth together, Roxas shut his eyes tightly as Axel continued to slowly sink into him.

“S-stop. Fuck it hurts.” Axel paused for a moment to lean down and press kisses all over Roxas’s face.

“Breath Roxie, just relax…” While he spoke soft encouragements in his ear, Axel decided to just get it over and thrust in the rest of the way. Roxas threw his head back as he yelled out at the intense pain.

“Damn it Axel why’d you do that?!” Roxas yelled out as he hit Axel repeatedly on the chest, his hits so weak that the redhead ignored them, choosing to kiss him in order to not only distract Roxas, but also himself. The tight, hot heat was almost too much temptation. Axel desperately wanted to just fuck the boy raw, but he resisted for the sake of the adorable boy below him. Welcoming anything to keep his mind off the pain of being so filled, Roxas kissed back slowly as he felt Axel’s tongue dip into his mouth, wrapping his arms around his lover’s neck in the process. They shared a languid kiss that successfully had kept the blonde’s mind off of the intrusion.

“You okay babe?” The redhead asked as he pulled away. Breathing heavily, Roxas gave a soft nod, suddenly embarrassed at the feeling of being so vulnerable. Axel kissed him briefly on the forehead.

“I’m moving okay?” Roxas didn’t answer, he was chewing on his lip for the pain he knew would come again. He felt Axel pulling out of him and managed to keep in the noise. But when Axel pushed back in he couldn’t help the whimper that came out.

“It’ll get better.” Axel repeated the motion, slowly moving in and out of him as he reigned in his control to just start thrusting.

“It’s not my first time.” Roxas growled out, not wanting to seem like a wimp, although if the chuckle Axel gave was any hint, it didn’t work.

“But it is technically the first time you’ve ever actually felt it without alcohol running through your system…God damn you’re tight…” Axel clenched his teeth as he began to pick up slight speed, changing his angle of each thrust, trying to find…

“Ah!” …That. Grinning from ear to ear, Axel began to piston quickly in and out of Roxas. Each brush against his prostate had Roxas moaning wantonly, each one getting louder than the last. Axel already felt his near ending, being inside his blonde was just too damned good. He grabbed a hold of Roxas’s erection and started stroking it, making the owner arch his back and let out a loud moan as he came between their bodies.

“Axeeel, love you!!!” He screamed out. Axel felt an entire spasm go through him at this words and he thrusted a few more times into the oversensitive body before the quivering entrance became too much for Axel and he too spilled himself, deep inside of Roxas.

Panting, Axel barely found the energy to pull out of Roxas before he collapsed next to him. He pulled the younger boy into his arms and felt his chest warm as Roxas laid his head against it.

“That was…” The redhead began.

“Wow.” Roxas finished for him, tracing random patterns on Axel’s chest with his finger as he felt fingers run through his hair.

“Heh, so you love me do you?” Roxas glanced up at Axel and scowled at the Cheshire grin plastered on his face.

“Shut up…“ Roxas murmured and snuggled his head into Axel’s chest so that he wouldn’t see the smile on his own face.

"So…just so I don't misunderstand, this is you telling me that we're lovers now right?" Roxas rolled his eyes and slapped Axel lightly on the chest for his stupid question.

"Like you don't know, idiot." Roxas muttered, blushing at the thought of Axel now being his boyfriend.

"Hey! I was just making sure!" Axel laid there silently for a moment or two, staring up at the ceiling as he happily realized that the blonde was now completely and utterly his.

"You feeling okay? Are you in pain?” Axel asked, rubbing softly at Roxas’s lower back.

“I’m a little sore, but I’ll be fine.” Roxas answered and then yelped as he suddenly found himself lying on his back once more looking up at Axel who had a predatory gleam in his eye.

“Uh, Axel?” Roxas shakily asked.

“I want to see if I can possibly make you scream even louder than before.” Axel said even as he started caressing his lover’s body once more.

“Oi, w-wait. Just hold on a second! Don’t touch me there! Wait, wait…Ah!~”

Lets just say, the neighbors will forever wonder how one small blonde could ever make that much noise. Then again, if they ever dared ask they would probably get their tongues cut out, so they learned to live with the T.V. really, really loudly.
