[when Axel gave the word, Roxas hurried to his room, his feet feeling light with the loss of the burden he'd carried for so long; being half a person, only meant to be absorbed or die. but now, he could be his own person. he and Axel could be their own people. his new heart filling over, he knocked almost frantically on the door to his friend's--he could really call him a friend now--room, happiness and anxiety and apprehension all apparent on his face as he waited for the answer]
[To say Axel was nervous would probably not be the correct thing. He was pacing in his room while he waited for Roxas. The way Roxas had - had he really meant what Axel thought he meant? When Roxas knocked, he went and got the door quickly.
Having a heart was suddenly a lot less convenient than he had thought. He swear he felt it skip a beat.]
[As quickly as he'd run to Axel's room, he still jumped a bit when the door opened, taking a sharp breath when he saw the redhead's face looking back at him. there awas something there that he'd never seen before, and he felt himself staring and had to consciously pull his gaze away]
C-can... [a cough. he shouldn't sound so feeble] Can I come in?
Yeah, of course. That's what we - you don't know need to ask.
[...Way to be totally suave and not at all weird about the situation, Axel.]
Oh, yeah... heh.
[he laughs a little to cover up how ... lame that was as he steps inside the room, standing a few feet behind Axel now]
So, this... this is real, right?
Yeah, I mean, it has to be. I don't know if it'll last, but...
[He shakes his head. It doesn't matter either way, really.]
We... we should take advantage of it, if it's not. If we don't get another opportunity--
[is he blushing? maybe. crap. but it feels so right to be there, with his friend--his best friend--sharing this moment]
[Axel turns and moves closer to his friend, and breaks out laughing. At the situation, at Roxas' expression, at his own silliness. Of course, Roxas is a decent size shorter than he is. And, sure, they're best friends and it'll be totally awkward, but the taller nobody leans towards his friend and kisses him right then and there. ]
Ah--
[Roxas is taken almost completely off-guard. almost, but he was half-expecting this, and before he can stop himself, he's leaning into it, wrapping an arm around Axel's neck, pulling him closer--
and then he lets go, taking a step backward]
That--uh, wow. H-haha. [so flustered orz he feels like he did something wrong, even though Axel initiated it, but that's not how this was supposed to go, was it?]
[He looks almost worried - had he done something wrong? Maybe that wasn't the best idea.]
You...
[Okay, no, he really doesn't know what to say.]
[Roxas pauses for a moment, shifting from foot to foot, and then he laughs like Axel had moments before]
You.
[and he pulls Axel down for another try. he won't let go this time]
[[ooc: red=Axel, blue=Roxas. had to do it :| ]
