Chapter 13

Roxas' POV

"Wait… so now the baby isn't yours?" I asked Axel in confusion.

"Until the results come back there's no way to know for sure. I mean, I should have seen something like this coming. We weren't all that intimate with each other to begin with. I guess just the thought of a baby had blinded my better judgment, and the idea of him not being mine never even crossed my mind" Axel placed his head in his hands. "I feel so stupid"

"Maybe she honestly thought there was a high chance you could be the father. You said she looked genuinely shocked when you told her what happened"

"Yeah, I guess you're right" Axel said finally, leaning back on the sofa. "The wait is going to kill me"

"I was thinking…" I began, turning my body around fully to face the redhead. "Why don't you come and visit Naminé with me? She's settled in now, and I'm sure she'd like to see us. It might take your mind off of everything here. Even if just for a few days" I suggested with a hopeful smile.

"Is there room at her house for the two of us?" He asked.

"Not exactly, we may have to stay at either Sora or Riku's but I'm sure they'll be cool with it" I explained with a shrug. "So… does that mean you'll go?"

"Yeah… Yeah it'll be fun" He answered with a smile.

"Great! I'll call Naminé and let her know we'll be there this weekend"

3 days later

Axel and I were currently waiting for the plane to take off. The air stewardess had just finished the safety briefing and everyone on the plane had to put their seatbelts on.

After a few moments of waiting the plane started moving, slightly jostling the passengers. Axel's hand gripped the armrest tightly, his gaze focused straight ahead of him, like he was trying to keep his mind off of the planes movements. Concerned, I reach over and placed my hand a top of his.

"You okay" I asked him quietly.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'll be fine" He said, his voice faltering only slightly.

"You don't look fine" I replied, my eyebrows furrowing.

"I'm just a little scared of planes is all" He grinned weakly.

I chuckled lightly at his attempted to cover up his fear as my thumb absently stroked his hand in reassurance.

"First needles and now planes… I can hold your hand again, if it'll help some" I offered him with a smile.

"Thanks" he breathed out, taking the offered hand. The turbulence on the plane had subsided some as we were now in flight. "I swear, needles and planes are my only two big fears"

"You should have said you were terrified of flying, we could have taken the ferry instead" I said, feeling a little guilty since it was my idea to go to Naminé's in the first place.

"I didn't want you to worry, besides it takes almost twice as long on the ferry, plus you have a fear of swimming, so you'd be fear stricken there too" He answered with a short laugh.

"Still… You should have told me. We're coming home on the ferry and I don't want to hear any protests" I told him, as I looked on upon his now sickly pale face. I looked down the row of seats to look for the bathroom. Thankfully it was only two rows away from our seats. Not far should Axel need to hurl.

5 hours later and we had landed at Destiny International. Thankfully Axel decided it was best to sleep the entire flight, meaning no nasty trips to the bathroom or throwing up on unsuspecting passengers. We checked through baggage claims and made our way through the airport. Riku had told Naminé that he would pick Axel and I up from the airport since he was the only one with a car. We looked through the sea of people for the older man's unmistakable head of silver hair. What we had not been looking out for however, was a mop of brunette hair which was currently hurtling itself towards me at almost break neck speeds.

"Roxas!" Sora greeted, throwing his arms around my neck in a hug.

"Hey, Sora. Anyone would think you haven't seen me a over a year"

"It feels like it" he moped, burying his face in my neck.

"It's been only been two weeks, dummy. Get off and go bug Axel instead" I said with a laugh, pushing the smaller brunette from me.

Sora turned and spotted Axel. His face split into an even bigger grin.

"Axel! Oh my god, it's been so long since I saw you. How are you?"

"I'm okay, short stuff, just a little shaky from the flight but I'll be fine" Looking over to Riku he gave him a short nod, to which Riku returned with a small smile.

Riku strolled over, with his hands placed firmly in his pockets. "You two all set?" he asked, raising his eyebrows a little. I looked over to Axel and he gave me a nod.

"Yep, good to go"

In the car, Axel sat up front with Riku, while Sora and I sat in the back. I listened to Sora as he rambled on about things that he, Kairi, Riku and Naminé had done since Naminé moved in. His eyes sparkled as he spoke of all the fun they'd all had. Anyone would think Sora was still just a kid.

"So, Axel, you ever been to DestinyIslands before" I heard Riku ask the redhead.

"Nah, this is my first time here. But I've heard good things" He replied with a shrug, before bringing a hand to his neck to rub absentmindedly.

"Axel you'll love it!" Sora exclaimed, his backside completely leaving his seat as he leant over to talk to Axel.

"I'm sure I will" Axel grinned.

"We can spend tomorrow on the beach and have seasalt ice cream, it'll be awesome" the brunette gushed.

"Sora, remind me, how old are you again?" I asked him from my place in the back.

"Twenty four" He replied with a confused look on his face.

"Exactly, we aren't kids anymore Sora…" I started but Axel cut me off.

"Actually, I'd love to go to the beach for ice cream. Come on Rox, don't be a party pooper. We're here to take my mind off of things at home and have a good time with these guys" He looked back at me, with an expression that almost broke my heart.

"Okay, sorry. I didn't mean to sound like a 'sour puss'"

"Then it's settled. Beach all day tomorrow" Axel said with a grin.

Sora fist pumped the air, effectively hitting his hand on the roof of the car. Sitting back in his seat he rubbed his hand better with a pained expression. Rolling my eyes at him I let out a chuckle and rested my head against the cool window.

'This weekend is going to be interesting.'

"Hey, Riku! Could you help me get the spare futon down from the attic?" I heard Sora call from upstairs.

Axel and I had made ourselves comfortable in the front room, while Sora sorted out sleeping arrangements. We had insisted on helping him, but he wasn't hearing any of it. Knowing how Sora gets when he doesn't have his own way I told Axel it was best to step aside and let him get on with it.

Sighing I leant against the redhead next to me, letting my body go limp so my full weight was against him. With a small chuckle Axel nudged me, forcing me to sit upright again.

"You tired?" he asked looking down at me.

"Yeah. The downside to travelling all this way is the stupid times you have to wake up in a morning to get the earliest flight" I said with a huff. "It's alright for you, you slept the entire way here"

"I know, sorry" he spoke with a short laugh. "If it makes you feel any better, I feel a bit crappy having slept upright for 5 hours" He rolled his shoulders, his aching bones popping and cracking faintly, as he did so.

"No, that doesn't make me feel better. Now I'm sleepy and worried about you" I moped. "I guess Sora figured out you weren't up for helping set up the futon, which is why he forced us to stay down here" I felt even more guilty that I hadn't spotted it first.

"I could have managed" he replied smugly.

"Yeah but at what cost, you being bed ridden the entire stay because you overworked yourself?" I scoffed.

"I could always have my personal masseuse, massage all the kinks out of these old bones" He winked at me.

"And I hope you know that I want paying for my services. My rates go up when I have to massage cranky old men" I smirked playfully. Axel grinned back, turning his body fully to face me. His hands resting on either side of my head as he slowly lowered himself, his face mere inches from my own.

"A-hem" A voice came, as someone cleared their throat from the doorway. Instantly Axel pulled away. "I'll have none of that in my house, please" Sora spoke sternly, but his façade soon broke as he began laughing at his own seriousness. "Sorry, I just couldn't help myself" He said as he began walking towards an armchair. Sitting himself down, he heaved a sigh and looked over to Axel and myself. "The spare room is sorted now, Sorry it's a bit cramped it has all of my camping equipment in there. I'd have put it in the attic with everything else but that's full too"

"Sora half of the stuff you keep is from when you were five years old, don't you think you should throw some of it away?" I asked him, sitting upright with a confused expression.

"So I'm a hoarder, sue me. I won't throw any of that stuff away. Its important memories from when Riku and I were little. It all has sentimental value. That would be like me asking you to throw away some of the paintings you've done but never hung up. They all have a meaning or memory behind it. This way, when Riku and me are all old and decrepit we can look back on those times and smile"

"What about Kairi, don't you have stuff in there that you both shared too?" I said.

"Hmm… yeah but not as many. I mean she's my best friend, but she wasn't always there. Riku has been, so I have more with him than I do her. It doesn't mean I like her any less" The brunette replied with a small smile.

"Don't like who any less" Riku asked as he entered the living room, clipping his bangs back so that they were out of his eyes, as he came to sit next to Sora, squishing him against the side of the chair.

"Kairi, fat ass" Sora winced as Riku sat down on his leg. "I was telling Axel and Roxas about all the stuff in the attic and how I have more memories up there of you than I do Kairi"

"That's because you love me more" Riku joked, elbowing Sora.

"Jerk, I love you both, just as much as the other" Sora spoke quickly, a slight blushing dusting his cheeks.

"Alright, alright, I was kidding" laughed the silverette.

I couldn't help but smile over the two's banter. I'd always wondered about the both of them. They'd always been close; sometimes it seemed they were closer than friends normally should be. But who's to say what's normal when it came to friendship.

I was broken from my train of thoughts when I felt Axel shift next to me, releasing the faintest cry of pain. Worry etching my face, I rested a hand on his lap, silently asking if he was okay.

"I'm fine" he answered my unasked question.

"You want to lie down for a little while?" I spoke quietly.

"That's sounds great, right about now" He released a small chuckle.

Nodding I stood up, Axel soon, albeit slowly, following suit.

"Sor, Axel and I are gonna head upstairs for a little while, Axel's not feeling too good, and I'd love a shower" I explained.

"Yeah sure, uhm… Axel there's a muscle rub in the bathroom cabinet, it's supposed to be one of those deep heat things, that might help…" Sora suggested.

With a smile, Axel gave him his thanks and headed on upstairs. I followed shortly after him.

Axel's POV

Roxas had been in the shower for about ten minutes. I stupidly had told him I could manage applying the cream to my neck and shoulders myself, but I hadn't realised that the pain was so bad that I couldn't even raise my arms above shoulder height. So I lay there on the futon, wallowing in my own self pity. My face was smooshed into the pillow; I was in too much pain to even lie on my back. Hearing the door to the room click shut, I turned my head slightly, wincing when I strained a muscle to hard.

"Remind me to never sleep upright again" I said; my voice muffled in the fabric of the pillow.

"Have you been lay there the entire time I was in the shower?" He asked as he towelled off his hair.

"…no?" I responded. Hearing the blonde sigh from across the room I let out a small laugh. "Yeah, okay, I have. I let my stupid pride get in the way and now I can't get up"

"Honestly…" Roxas breathed out before climbing onto the bed next to me. After a few moments I felt the mattress shift slightly and before I knew it Roxas had straddled my hips, his ass positioned on my lower back. "Pass me the cream, old fart"

Muttering under my breath I passed the tube back towards the blonde. Unable to see anything Roxas was doing, I just settled on looking at the floor on the far side of the room. Suddenly I felt the cold cream on my back causing me to jolt a little in surprise. Roxas' hands instantly worked at the knots in my muscles rubbing them firmly and releasing the tension they held. He slid his skilled fingers up and across my back until they finally reached my neck. His fingers gently grasped at either side of my neck as he pushed his thumbs firmly upwards in the centre. I released a low groan; my body completely relaxed now, as one of my arms hung from the futon, my fingers brushing the carpet on the floor.

"Am I hurting you?" Roxas asked as he began rubbing at my shoulders again, pressing his palms into my skin releasing yet another kink in my aching muscles.

"No… a-ah… the opposite actually. Geez Roxas why have you never done this before you're so… hnng… good at it" I admitted, letting my eyes slide shut as Roxas' fingers massaged my shoulders, working the cream deep into my skin, making my flesh tingle beneath his touch. The smell of menthol, finally reaching my nose, relaxing me even further.

After a few more minutes of bliss, I felt Roxas' shift from my back, the lotion having completely disappeared a while ago.

"Do you feel a little better?" Roxas asked, lying next to me.

"Much better, thanks" I angled my head to look at him and smiled. Carefully I lifted myself up on my elbows and turned to lie on my back. "Sorry I can't afford to pay you for such amazing services though"

"I'm sure we can come to some arrangement" the blond beside me chuckled with a devilish grin.

"As much as I'd love to, I'm afraid what you might have in mind is a little too strenuous for me right now" I said regretfully, cursing my aches and pains.

"Too bad" Roxas spoke before leaning over and kissing my forehead. "I'm going to ask Sora about lunch, I don't know about you but I'm starving"

My stomach took the opportunity to let out a loud growl at the younger man's words.

"I'll take that as a yes" Roxas laughed. "And after we eat do you feel up to seeing Naminé?"

"Well we did come all the way out here just to see her, so yeah" I laughed.

Roxas' POV

"So how are you both?" Naminé asked as she brought a pot of tea into the living room.

"I'm good" I replied with a smile, holding out my cup allowing her to pour the hot liquid.

"And you Axel? Everything okay?" she questioned him with empathetic eyes. Even though she was still a little upset over her own relationship going down the pan, she still had to sympathise with Axel since they had both been duped by the same people.

"I'm okay, thanks. Just a little achy from the flight here, but nothing my little masseuse couldn't handle" he grinned.

"O-oh" Naminé chuckled. Feeling my embarrassment etch it's way on to my face, I elbowed Axel roughly in the ribs.

"Ow, sorry" he sniggered.

"And how's Mom?" Naminé looked at me, sitting across from us on a pale blue armchair.

"I haven't really had time to see her a lot lately, but she's called a couple times she seems to be doing fine" I nodded before taking a sip of the tea Naminé made. "Have you still not got your phone and internet connected?"

"No, the company is supposed to be sending someone out on Monday, so hopefully everything should be set up by then. Then I can finally call you guys for a chat every now and again" She said with a small smile.

"Well make sure you dress appropriately. I've seen enough porno to know how installation guys minds work" Axel spoke up before bringing his mug to his lips.

"Axel!" I blanched.

"Oh my…" Naminé blushed.

"Unless you want the guy's attention, then I say wear something that shows a little cleavage…"

Slightly shocked by Axel's choice of words I smacked his shoulder and scowled at him.

"What? She's a pretty girl; I'm just giving her a warning. All alone in a house with some strange guy… you can never be too careful"

"Should I do my hair?" Naminé asked out of the blue. Turning around I looked at Naminé in shock also.

"Nam!?" I cried out.

"I dunno, you don't want to go to too much effort just in case he looks like a pig" Said the redhead.

"I guess you're right"

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Axel was warping my little sister's mind.

"You two are insane" I muttered, crossing my arms over my chest. I expected this kind of banter from Axel and Demyx, but not Naminé. Not sweet, untainted Naminé.

Eyes twinkling Naminé looked to Axel before bursting out into a fit of laughter. Axel soon joined in.

"Roxas, come on! Do you honestly believe I would do something like that? You're so easy to mess with, I just had to join in" Naminé giggled, brushing her hair behind her ear.

"Even I knew she was kidding, Rox" Axel spoke a little too smugly.

Glaring at Axel out of the corner of my eye, I mumbled under my breath "I hope your neck get worse" before standing and leaving the room.

"How sweet!" Axel called out to me with a short laugh.

Axel's POV

Once Roxas had left the room, and mine and Naminé's laughter had died down, the blonde girl looked at me with an almost apologetic gaze.

"What's wrong?" I asked her thoroughly confused.

"Is everything really okay? Back at home I mean, with the… with the baby and everything?" She said, her eyebrows knitting together.

"I guess… I mean, I'm confused as hell right now. There's not really anything I can do about it just yet. Just gotta sit it out and wait for answers, yanno?"

"I'm really sorry that everything happened the way it did… I keep thinking that it was somehow my fault. Like I could have tried harder to make Marluxia happy so he would never have even thought of… of cheating"

"Don't beat yourself up over it. It wasn't your fault. There was nothing you could have done. Things like this have a way of happening on their own. So don't ever blame yourself again, okay?" I assured her.

"And how is Roxas dealing with all of this? I don't know if you've already figured this out, but unless you tell him what you're thinking he's a bit dense and doesn't catch on…"

"I don't know. He seems to know whenever I have something on my mind. I guess he's just selectively observant?" I chuckled.

"Or he loves you enough to notice the little things about you" She suggested.

That word. Love. There have been multiple times that I've almost said it to him. Not out of a confession of my undying love for him. Just little things. Like when he makes me laugh so hard that my sides hurt and my immediate response in my mind was just "You're so great, I love you" Or when we say goodbye, the urge to add those three little words is unbearable. But it's too soon, right? I mean we haven't known each other that long. What is it… just over 4 months? Almost 5? It's way too soon. Besides, even if it wasn't what are the chances that Roxas actually does feel that way? What if I'm just not sure about my own feelings yet? So many questions. I wouldn't want to scare him off. He's the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I was brought out of my thoughts when I notice Naminé looking at me with a concerned expression. I don't even know how long I'd been quiet for.

"If you say so…" was the only response I could give.

Roxas' POV

"Did Naminé seem happy enough to you?" I ask the redhead beside me as we walk through the cold night air, back to Sora's house.

"I guess so, why do you ask?"

I sigh and look to the ground, kicking a random stone out of the way. "I dunno, I guess I'm just worried, she's always lived with other people, and then suddenly living all alone, it must be such a drastic change" I said, looking up to the redhead, his mind seemingly elsewhere as he absentmindedly hummed in response. Crinkling my nose at his lack of concentration, I huff out a breath and grab for his hand and just hold it. Nothing else. I keep walking and stay completely straight faced. Axel looks down at our hands. That seemed to have grabbed his attention. And then I realise, this is the first time we've held hands when out in public. Granted there wasn't anyone around to see it, but it was still out in the open. My face flushed lightly at that realisation and a small smile creeps onto my face. Giving Axel's hand a light squeeze I see him return the smile only to feel his hand tighten around my own also. My smile widens further to the point that I'm pretty sure I look ridiculous. A small part of me actually expected him to pull his hand away. It was a stupid thought to have; nevertheless that small doubt was there. Seeing him accept this small gesture, made all my worries dissipate immediately.

Suddenly I felt Axel tug me closer, his hand dropping mine in turn of placing his arm around my shoulder instead, holding me close to him, his body heat radiating off of him, warming me up in the bitter night air. I will never understand how he's always so warm.

"Thanks" Axel murmurs keeping his gaze ahead of him.

"What for?" I ask tilting my head towards him.

"For being there for me, these last couple of months. For knowing exactly how to cheer me up. For being you" He smiled.

Nudging him ever so slightly, I let out a short laugh. "I'd be a pretty lousy boyfriend if I hadn't been there for you. Besides, I hate knowing you're troubled, it makes me feel upset too. Remember when you told me that you didn't want to me to bottle everything up like Larxene did? Well the same goes for you, if you need to tell me something, tell me. I'm here for you"

Looking down at me he pressed me even closer to his chest, and with a smile he leant down and placed a soft kiss atop of my head.

Arriving back at Sora's, we entered the living room to see Sora asleep, curled up with his head resting on Riku's lap, the silverette also sound asleep. His hand resting on the small of Sora's back while the other lay limply at his side. Chuckling beside me Axel bent down and whispered in my ear.

"Riku is going to regret sleeping upright in the morning"

"Do you think we should wake him up?" I ask quietly.

"Nah, he looks comfortable, besides, a couch is a darn sight better to sleep on than an airplane seat, I'll tell you that" The redhead said before grasping on to my hand and guiding me upstairs.

Once in our temporary room, I began to remove my jacket, followed by my sneakers and finally my trousers, opting to leave my shirt on. Axel followed suit. Quickly I got under the covers before the cold air could fully reach me. I shuffled around a bit to get comfortable on the far too small double futon. Sliding in beside me, Axel made quick work of pulling the quilt up to his shoulders, before grabbing the material and curling it beneath his chin with his fist. Sighing deeply I scooted closer to Axel, tangling my legs with his own, and resting my hands against his chest. Immediately I could feel my eyelids getting heavy.

Breathing out a laugh, Axel poked out one of his hands and began stroking my hair.

"Poor little Roxas…" He began, feigning a voice that a mother would use on her child. "You've had a busy day, all that fresh air made you sleepy, huh?" he sniggered.

"Nnuh" I moaned childishly, ducking my head away from his hand.

"Sorry, I'll let you sleep" He said softly, placing his hand back under the blankets.

My breathing became even as I willed the rest of my body to relax. Just as I was about to fall under the sandman's spell, Axel spoke up again.

"Goodnight, Roxas. I love you"
