Roxas’ POV

I hadn’t heard from Axel since the argument he and Larxene had, had. But it was only 3 days ago. I guess I was a little disheartened but I’m sure he just wanted a bit of space, and I could respect that.
I haven’t once looked through his window since that day. It doesn’t feel right. It never felt right in the first place, but now I feel guilty for prying on their personal life.
I just hope he’s ok after finding out about Larxene’s drinking.
I went about my daily routine as normal. Wake up, go to work, be bored out of my mind at said job, come home, paint for a couple hours, eat something and then sleep. It was pretty mundane, but I just needed some sort of solidarity in my life.
The painting of Axel I’ve been working on is going slow. I’m somewhat happy with how it looks so far. Though, I may change it again at some point. I’m fixated on working on his eyes, his impossibly amazing jade eyes. But I just cannot get them to look right. They have no life. No sparkle. I’m pretty good at painting things from memory, but his eyes are impossible to capture without him right there for me to work from. But that would be a bit creepy for me to ask him to sit for me whilst I paint him. Then again, this is coming from the guy who used to watch him from a distance.
So here I am now, currently at my very lacklustre job. And what seemed to be a day when no customers would venture inside.
Mondays always were quiet.
Picking up a copy of the novel “Nobodies aren’t heartless” I heard the bell above the shop door ring. Removing my glasses I was surprised to see a certain redhead walking towards me. He was wearing a long, dark green trench coat and a blue and green striped scarf. His cheeks and nose were tinted red from the cold outside.
There were a few moments of silence. It wasn’t uncomfortable. It was a silent understanding that he needed sometime to figure out what to say.
I set my book down flat on the counter top and folded my glasses, placing them in my shirt pocket. He looked at the book and let out a small laugh.
“You know they all die at the end right?” He smirked
“You jerk!” I exclaimed, leaning across the counter to lightly hit his arm. I was relieved he was ok, but really! He could have said ‘hi’ or something. “Well I’m glad you’ve not lost your sense of humour” Huffing I placed the book back on it’s original shelf and made my way around to the front of the shop, sitting myself down on one of the black sofas there. Looking up at him I patted the cushion next to me, indicating for him to sit.
I watched as he practically melted into the seat next to me, like all the tension he felt had washed away as he sank into the sofa cushion.
There were a few moments of silence that has passed between us, neither knowing who should speak first.
“Listen” “Look I…” We both said at the same time.
I chuckled lowly “You go first” I urged, a small smile gracing my lips.
“I just came to apologise for the other night” He uttered, refusing to make eye contact with me.
Sighing I lent back against the couch cushions. “Don’t worry about it, you didn’t know it was going to happen, it wasn’t your fault”
“Huh, according to her it is my fault. I’d love to say ‘She isn’t normally like that’ or ‘It was a one time thing’ but I just can’t. She doesn’t seem to care, and it infuriates me a times. She has so little self-respect for herself I’m finding it hard to respect her myself” He explained. Growling in the back of his throat, he ground the palms of his hands into his eyes out of frustration. He let his hands fall back down to his thighs and lazily lolled his head backwards to look at the ceiling. “I just don’t know what to do with her anymore” He admitted, voice wavering only slightly. Clearing his throat his looked down once again, laughing bitterly he continued speaking. “Listen to me throwing all of my problems on to you, when I only came to apologise”
“Hey, that’s what I’m here for” I grinned at him hoping to lighten the mood, but that didn’t seem to work. “I said I’d listen if you needed to talk, and that’s what I’m doing” Another bout of silence came between us. Standing suddenly I walked to the shop entrance and turned the sign over, showing that it was my lunch break. “Come on” I ordered as I grabbed for his arm giving it a light tug. “We’re getting coffee. And this time there won’t be any interruptions or disturbances.”
“But I don’t have my wallet…” He began.
“Pshh, my treat” I stated as I grabbed my coat from behind the counter. I quickly grabbed the keys and headed for the door. “Well?”
Seeing him smile at me, he stood. “You’re so bossy” he remarked, earning another hit to his arm. “And a bully, It’s a wonder you have any friends” He joked as he exited the shop before me.
The walk to the café was a pleasant one. Not much was said, a few exchanges on opinion about how cold the weather had gotten recently but that was about it. It was a comfortable silence.
When we arrived at the café I made my way to a table just buy the window and sat down, waiting for Axel to follow suit.
As soon as we were both seated, a cute girl with blonde braided hair bounced over, with a huge smile on her face.
“Hello, I’m Rikku and I’ll be your waitress today. How can I help?” she giggled, titling her head slightly.
“Uhm, I’ll have an iced coffee and a blueberry muffin, please” I answered and watched her start to jot it down; I turned to look at the redhead in front of me. “Axel?” I asked, enquiring what he wanted.
“I’ll just have a coffee. Black, please” he answered as he removed the scarf from around his neck, placing it next to him on the seat.
“Sure thing, sweetness” she winked and was off on her way.
Turning back to Axel I shook my head “You know you could have ordered something to eat as well, I wouldn’t have minded”
“Nah, it’s fine, I have to go soon anyway. I’m taking Larx for an ultrasound scan” He said offhandedly as he looked around the café.
“Oh, if I remember correctly she’s only like, what two weeks pregnant, isn’t it a little early for scans?” I questioned a bit confused.
Sighing he ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah, the first scan is only supposed to be at 12 weeks. I know you probably don’t want to know this but she’s bleeding, not a lot, but its there. I just want to get her checked out. Better safe than sorry, right? It could be nothing but I don’t want to take that chance.”
I pulled my face a little, he was right, that was a bit too much information for me.
“I guess you’re right.” I added. I turned to look at Rikku who had just arrived with our order. I uttered a thank you with a smile as I took my drink and muffin from her. I brought the coffee up to my nose and inhaled deeply. I loved this smell; it always reminded me of back home. Taking a sip from the mug I placed it onto the table and wrapped my hands around it to keep warm. There was the silence again, but it was a lot less comfortable than before. I looked at the man in front of me, who was just staring off into space as he also held his cup of coffee. Clearing my throat I spoke up. “I… I know it’s not my place to speak, but do you think it’s her drinking that’s causing this? I mean, god forbid, but this could be the signs of an early miscarriage anything from drinking, stress or anger can cause them…” I trailed off watching his face for any sort of reaction. His hands tightened around the cup.
“Don’t you think I know that?” He almost snapped. I was taken aback by the sudden outburst from him. “I can’t help but feel it’s my fault. We argue. A lot. And I feel like it’s my fault that she goes out drinking almost every day, I feel like I drive her to it. She says it’s an escape.” he closed his eyes tightly and shook his head a few times. “If she loses this baby, it will be my fault.” He looked me dead in the eyes as he said that.
“What? No! Don’t blame yourself, it’s not your fault that she’s a lying, controlling, selfish, bitc…” I was suddenly stopped through my own outburst as I felt Axel’s fist connect with my face and fuck, did it sting.
He didn’t say anything, and I daren’t speak after everything I had just said. He just looked down at me with anger and sorrow in his eyes. He clenched his jaw and then looked away from me. Quickly he grabbed his coat and scarf and left the café. It was dead silent in the building as people stared at me in intrigue as to what has just happened. I straightened myself up and left the money for both coffees under the bill with a tip for Rikku. Suddenly I didn’t feel like eating anymore. So much for no interruptions or disturbances.
Once I made my way back to the bookstore I immediately went to the bathroom out back. Looking into the mirror I inspected my face. The bruising was already pretty bad and there was a gash where Axel’s ring had caught my cheek. Cursing myself for spewing all the things I had, I got a paper towel and ran it under warm water so I could clean the cut.
“Fuck!” I hissed out as the wet towel touched the graze. Sighing I decided I’d leave cleaning this properly until I got home. I suddenly didn’t feel like working now, either.
Taking my mobile out from my trouser pocket I called my boss, Zexion and asked if he could come and cover my shift as I wasn’t feeling too good. Thankfully he said he would, but he was going to dock my wages for the inconvenience. Huh, figures.
I locked up shop, and walked the two blocks it would take to get to my apartment.
Once there I threw my coat and keys on a near by chair. I made my way to the bathroom and got out the first aid kit. After cleaning my hands and (after much struggle and cursing) my face I put on a band-aid and observed mine and Axel’s handiwork. He could pack one hell of a punch I’ll give him that much. I looked in the mirror once more, angry at myself. I honestly didn’t blame Axel at all. If I were him I probably would have done the same thing. I put away the first aid kit and headed to my bedroom. Once I’d gotten out of my work clothes and into my sweats I flopped down face first onto my bed. I snuggled up to my pillow and let sleep take me. Sleep was most welcome right now.
x-x-x-x
bang, bang, bang, bang!
I jolted awake after hearing the loud banging. I looked to my clock on the bedside table and saw I had been asleep for four hours as it was now eight thirty.
I made my way into the living area of my apartment and grabbed the nearest object (which happened to be an umbrella) that I could use for defence if it was needed.
bang, bang, bang, bang!
I heaved a sigh of relief as I realised it was someone at the front door. But still I was a bit wary of who might be to be knocking so violently. Hesitantly I looked through the peephole and saw it was Axel. I immediately opened the door.
“Why the hell are you…” I was stopped in my tracks yet again as he pushed past me and into my apartment. “Hi Axel, I’m fine how are you? Oh great, please do come in!” I said sarcastically as I shut the door after him.
“Sorry, I just needed a place to go to cool off…” when his eyes landed on my face I could see how apologetic he felt.
“Feeling a little regret?” I asked, still a little irked that he’s just abruptly woken me up and then proceeded to barge into my home.
“I’m… I’m sorry about that. You just sort of pissed me off back there.” He walked over cautiously; he reached a hand out to my face but moved back again when I flinched.
“It’s ok, I forgive you, I should be me apologising after everything I said” I admitted.
“No. You were right. She’s selfish and controlling, but that’s how she’s always been.”
I folded my arms and the realisation hit me that I was wearing nothing but sweat pants. I suddenly felt really self-conscious. I walked past him and headed for the living chair across from my couch. I nodded my head towards the couch indicating that Axel might as well make himself comfortable while he’s here.
“How’s the uh… How’s the baby?” I asked carefully.
“It’s fine. She’s just spotting, apparently it’s completely normal. However the doctor did do a smoke breathalyzer test on her and we found out that she was well over dangerous nicotine levels in harming the baby.” He leant over resting his chin on his hand. “The doctor told her to stop with her current lifestyle but it just went in one ear and out the other. She’s currently out drinking again, no doubt.”
Axel slid his eyes closed and just took a few deep breathes. I could see that being here calmed him down almost instantly, but he looked drained. Almost like he hasn’t slept in days.
“You look terrible” I pointed out. His eyes snapped open and he quirked an eyebrow. A small smile appeared on his face.
“Thanks? Hate to break it to ya, but you don’t look so hot either” He joked.
“No, I mean you look tired, you should go home.”
“Kicking me out, Roxy?” He smirked. Then suddenly the smirk disappeared. “I don’t feel like going back there tonight. I know she won’t be back until late tomorrow afternoon. But I just… I don’t want to go back there, not yet” He looked at me pleadingly. I couldn’t say no to that face.
“Fine you can stay here. Let me just go change my dressing on my face and then I’ll get the spare room set up for you” I spoke as I began standing. I could feel his eyes watching me and it made me feel all the more self-conscious about my body. I could sense my cheeks going darker. Quickly, to avoid even more embarrassment I made my way to the bathroom but not before I felt Axel’s arms snake around my waist in a loose hug.
“Thank you, Roxas” He spoke before he let go and sat himself back on the couch. I could feel a lump in my throat and my heart rattle against my rib cage. I nodded quickly and muttered out a ‘no problem’ before I practically ran to the bathroom.
I’d been gone about 20 minutes. In the time it took me to change my dressing and do a quick clean of the spare room Axel had fallen asleep on the couch. I felt a little irritated that I’d spent all that time cleaning for him. But that initial irritation had vanished when my gaze met his serene features. He looked absolutely beautiful asleep. He was so relaxed. Despite everything he’d been through over the last few days he still managed a small smile in his sleep. Quickly going into the guest room I grabbed a blanket and made my way back into the Living room. I gently draped it over Axel’s sleeping form. Hesitantly I brushed a stray piece of hair out of his face and then turned out the lights in the room. I looked back at him, his chest rising and falling at an even pace and I smiled.
Not knowing what to do with myself I went back to bed and figured I should just follow Axel’s plan and sleep.

Axel’s POV
I woke up to the sound of my phone playing Larxene’s ringtone. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and focused my vision. Oh yeah, I’d stayed a Roxas’ didn’t I.
I stretched and suddenly regretted it when I felt a kink in my neck after sleeping for over eight hours on a couch.
I grabbed my phone and saw four missed calls from Larxene and six text messages.
No doubt the messages were drunken ones.
I read through the texts and listened to three voice mails. I was right, they were all drunken ones. Mostly Incoherent words and babblings on about how she hated me sometimes. Then she’d text and say she was sorry.
When I’d gotten to the last message I almost wished I hadn’t bothered listening to it.
“Axel, I don’t know where you are, and frankly I’m glad you’re not here right now. Just, come home soon. We need to talk. About us.”
