Axel felt the small hesitation in the blonde as he continued to kiss him. Maybe, he wasn't doing the right thing. He knew what he was doing was forbidden. He had a betrothed fiancée for god's sake. Yet, he couldn't help himself. He broke the kiss and looked at the blonde in front of him."Sorry," he said. "I shouldn't have done that."

Roxas did his best to wipe the blush off his face. He didn't do much to succeed at it, only managing to bring it down to a light pink. "You don't need to apologize..." Roxas muttered, trying to slow his racing heart. Why was he reacting like this? He's only known the man for a short amount of time. He needed to tell Axel that he didn't return his feelings, since that's what Sora would have done. But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Axel retreated to the other side of the blanket as he looked at the blonde."Yes, I really do," said Axel as he stared at the blonde. "I shouldn't have done that at all. Besides, I'm not even supposed to be feeling these kinds of emotions right? I have a soon to be wife after all. Axel laughed nervously at his awkward speech. Was he trying to convince Roxas or himself? Axel took another sandwich from the basket and chewed on it thoughtfully.

Roxas was silent for a second. "Well... I would understand that if you have feelings for you soon-to-be wife." he said. "But if you don't, it's only natural to develop feelings for someone else." He kept his gaze on the blanket they were sitting on. He knew he probably should get up and just leave. Sora didn't have feelings for Axel. So he was afraid he was going to end up doing something that'll make Axel think he has a chance. Yet, Roxas couldn't bring himself to stand up.

Axel looked at the blonde sheepishly as he began to nervously laugh." Sorry about that," he said as he popped another bite of his sandwich into his mouth as he chewed thoughtfully. "I guess I got kind of carried away back there. I don't love her though. It's an arranged marriage. I met her once when she was 10. I haven't seen her since. How can I like someone that I haven't seen in over 6 years? There is someone else I like though/" He paused and looked at Roxas "You."

Roxas was silent for a few seconds. He didn't like the thought of Axel being forced to marry someone whom he only met once. But it wasn't his job to point that out. It would be wrong of him to say something. He also felt very awkward because Axel was saying that he liked him, but of course the redhead thought that Roxas was Sora. So he shook his head slowly. "I can't return your feelings..." he muttered, dropping his gaze down.

Axel stared at the blonde in front of him in shock. What was he really hearing. Was he being rejected. He coughed a few times trying to remain calm. Here he was bearing his heart to the blonde, hell, for the world to see, and then he had to go and say that. Axel glared at the blonde as he said," Why? Hell, we haven't know each other for very long, but does that really matter. I am following my heart, and my heart is telling me to love you right now. Why is it that you can't return that!?" Axel was even more shocked at the words that were coming out of his mouth. He had never been so absolute about something in his entire life. Maybe it was the fact that he had chosen this for his life, since nothing else in his happened because he chose it to happen. Axel wanted to hold onto the blonde for as long as possible, hold onto the one decision that he had made for himself.

Roxas lifted his gaze to look at Axel's face, surprised by what he said. But the glare on the redhead's face made him drop his gaze quickly again. An uncomfortable feeling grew in his stomach. He wanted to return Axel's feelings, but he couldn't. If they had met under different circumstances, then yeah, he'd gladly accept his feelings. He shook his head slowly. "I'm sorry... But I'm not exactly who you think I am.." Roxas realized that might not have been the best thing to say, seeing as how he practically said he wasn't Sora, but he couldn't stop the words from coming out.

((I hope to god this doesn't backfire))

Axel tilted his head back and barked out a harsh laugh. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He showed the blonde his heart and he had just trampled completely over it. He looked at the blonde as he crawled over to him and pinned him to the blanket. "I don't give a darn who you are," said Axel as he kissed Roxas again deeply. Axel was known to get whatever he wanted, he was the crowned prince after all, and right now he wanted someone that he thought was Sora. He crashed his lips against the others in a bruising kiss. He nipped Roxas' lower lip to gain entrance into the blonde's mouth.

The sound of Axel's harsh laugh made Roxas unconsciously move further away from the redhead. But of course, that didn't help since he was pinned down unexpectedly. His heart was pounding in his chest and his thoughts were racing with ways he could get out of this situation. But all his thoughts stopped when he was kissed and he froze. The only thought going through his head was that he shouldn't kiss him back, but there was a part of him that was actually enjoying it and that part took control as he very lightly, very hesitantly kissed him back. His mouth opened against his better judgement to allow Axel to enter. In his mind he was kicking himself for letting him get into this situation in the first place.

Axel smirked around his kissing when he felt the blonde relax against him. "Sora" had tasted like everything that he had hoped and more. He tasted of ripe honeydew and sugar. He let his tongue dance with the smaller figures as he began letting his hands roam around the others's figure as he began slowly unbuttoning the shirt that was adorning his soon to be lovers body. Breaking away so he could breath he looked down at the blonde as he said,"How are you feeling? Do you want me to continue?"

Roxas was starting to feel light-headed and a blush was spreading across his face against his better judgment. His heart was pounding wildly in his chest and he took a deep breath when he got the chance to help calm it. There was a part in his mind still screaming at him to push Axel away, but he still couldn't bring himself to do it. "Yes..." he muttered. But he shook his head slowly, but his words kinda canceled it out.

Hearing "Sora's" voice telling him that it was alright to keep going he began to tug on his shirt, eventually ridding him of the confining article of clothing. Breaking the kiss he took off his own shirt and discarded it next to the others. He began to kiss "Sora's" chest as he placed small butterfly kisses on the flat of his stomach. He began to tug at the others pants to see if he could rid him of those as well. Axel was glad that they were far enough away from the palace that they wouldn't be bothered, and that they were far away from the beaten path that they wouldn't be seen by any travelers.

The blush on Roxas' face was slowly starting to get darker with each passing second. His heart was pounding in his chest and it was hard for him to put a thought together in his mind. He knew he needed to stop this situation, but he couldn't bring his body to actually push Axel away. Instead, he intertwined his fingers on one hand into Axel's hair and pulled him up into a kiss. The other slowly slid across the man's chest, liking the feel of it.

Axel continued to kiss the blonde under him earnestly as he managed to get the other's pants unbuckled. Breaking away he looked at the blonde and said,"I am sorry that I am going so fast. I just want you so bad." He began again licking the shell of the other's ear hoping to elicit a moan out of the other.

Roxas had been trying so hard to get the blush to go away from his face. But he just kept getting darker the harder he tried. When he had the chance to breathe, he struggled to draw in breath. All thoughts of getting away from Axel were completely earased from his mind as he inhaled sharply. He bite his lip in order to prevent him from making any noise.

Axel smiled inwardly as he felt the blonde shudder and moan beneath him. He continued to lick the shell of Roxas' ear as he began dragging his tongue lower and lower to where his neck was. He began nibbling the neck of the blonde as he continued to try and get Roxas' pants off.

[[You want to just go to email or skip?]]


Roxas bit harder on his lip, trying so hard not to make any noise. But it was getting harder and harder with each passing second and his face began to slowly turn a darker red. He tightened his hold in Axel's hair, hoping that would help him stay silent. But so far, it wasn't working.

((I don't care either way to be honest))

Axel continued to nibble and bite Roxas neck as he began to go lower as he began licking more of the blonde again.

From the distance though he heard some faint yelling from the distance, and the sound of hooves beating against the ground. Glancing up from his comfortable spot on the ground he saw the last thing that he had wanted to see. He saw his most noble knight heading towards the two of them. Disentangling himself from the blonde he hastily got his clothes back on. Throwing the blonde his own shirt he helped him place it back around his form. Making sure that everything was in order by the time Riku got there. Glancing up he looked at the silver haired youth and said[B],"Hello friend. Care to join us?"[/COLOR]

((Not the best way to go about it I suppose, but if they are going to do it they are going to do it in the comfort of a bed))

The blush on Roxas' face darkened more some as he got his shirt back on before he finally managed to make it fade. His heart was pounding, and there was a part of him that was disappointed that Axel had stopped. But the main part of his brain was glad for the intrusion. He kept his gaze on the ground, scanning his mind on who this new guy was... Must be Riku.... Someone that Sora actually likes.... This was going to be so hard.
Riku shook his head. "Sorry. But I can't. You're father is looking for you. He wanted to set a definite date for your upcoming wedding." he said, pulling on his horse's reins so that he came to a stop.

((So wait Axel likes Sora, who is in disguise as Roxas, Sora really likes Riku...but then who does Riku like?))

Axel gave Riku an annoyed look as he said,"How did you find me?" As soon as he said that he regretted saying that. He remembered bringing Riku here for the first time as he said that this had been his favorite place in the entire world. Getting off of the ground he began packing things up as he placed everything in the saddle bags that were on his horse. Swinging his leg over his horse he was sitting in the saddle. "God, why is he so demanding that I get married to this broad. I don't even like her, and she just wants our countries money.

((I'm going to say Sora. Or Axel. Whichever you prefer.))

Riku raised an eyebrow lightly. "Do you really think I don't know how to track you down?" he asked. Roxas glanced warily at the horse that he knew he needed to get back up on. He approached it catiously and Riku slid off the horse. "Here. Let me help you." he offered, holding his hands out to help Roxas up on the horse. Roxas nodded and let Riku help him up, kinda embarrassed that he needed help in the first place. "Riku went back over to his own horse and pulled himself up onto the saddle.

((It was a observation not a statement, haha))

Axel was about to jump off of his horse and help the blonde onto his own horse, but Riku got to it first. He had to calm his erratic breathing at that. God, he really was a hot head at times. Getting jealous over something as small as that. Once everyone was ready to go he cantered back to the castle where he brushed down his horse, and went back to the palace where he met his father. Bowing before his father he looked at his father and then rose."Son, there is much that we need to talk about." Axel grimaced at this knowing exactly where this conversation was going to go even if Riku hadn't had said anything to him."Come walk with me,"said the King as he held out a hand. Walking towards his father they walked out of the throne room and into one of the nearby gardens where various birds were kept. They both sat down on one of the benches that faced a fountain that was there."Son," started his father. Axel took the initiative and said,"Father I know what this is about. Riku briefed me a little before I came back here. Axel cursed silently as he looked at his father. He knew that it was forbidden for him to go out of the castle without Riku or another guard. His father looked at him, and was about to say something, but Axel chimed in and said,"I know what I did was wrong and irresponsible, and it won't happen again. His father nodded in agreement as he listened to his son. It was the same song and dance, but he was glad that he noticed his transgressions."That is right. We need to talk about when the wedding will be held, and when you will joining hands with the nation of Radiant Garden." Even mentioning the name of that dreadful place reminded him of the red headed bimbo that he would have to marry. He grimaced. "Father wouldn't you want to talk this over at supper, we do have a council meeting tonight after all with the council." His father thought it over for a moment before he nodded in agreement.[B]"I agree with this statement, however, don't think I don't know what you are doing. Go get dressed and be prompt. The council doesn't take lightly to tardiness." Axel felt triumph well up inside of him he had won this battle, but he wasn't sure if he was going to win the war.

((Well.. Which would you prefer it to be?))

Roxas was probably even more tense on the ride back to the castle. It showed too. He kept his focus on not falling off the horse. He was so glad when they got to the palace. He was sure he was going to end up falling flat on his face, but thankfully Riku offered to help him down. He gratefully accept the offer and watched as Axel walked away. Riku smiled lightly at Roxas. "Can I offer a tour of the castle?" he asked, knowing the blond didn't fully know his way around yet. Roxas smiled and nodded. And off they went. Riku pointed out various rooms and decorations, explaining about them the best he could. Roxas listened carefully, knowing he probably wouldn't remember anything he was being told anyway. But he didn't want to seem rude. When the tour was over, Roxas said he wanted to go off exploring on his own, which Riku nodded and let him.

((Well if Riku falls for Sora then that would mean that Axel can figure out that Roxas really isn't Sora, and no one gets hurt))

Axel walked back to his room with a smile. He had narrowly missed another conversation with his father about his future wife. He was happy and thrilled at the same time. Axel went back to his room and flopped back onto his bed as he took a nap.

He awoke later that night and took and shower and dressed for the banquet that would be happening later that evening with the council. He placed on the colors of his nation, blue and white, as he belted his ceremonial sword and went towards the banquet hall where the meeting would take place. There were two guards there dressed in full regalia which Axel thought was kind of weird. Why were they dressed so formally it was just a regular council meeting. There was another man that was standing in front of him that opened the doors, and announced that he would be entering the hall. Walking into the hall his father walked up to him and threw his arm around his shoulder."Welcome son," said his father as he led him around to talk to the different dignitaries. Axel closed his eyes as is mind reeled at all the motion around him. The door opened again and the same person that introduced him introduced someone that Axel would have never thought that he would hear. The Princess of Radiant Garden was here.
