Axel had pleaded; Axel had begged; Axel had considered sacrificing a human being via funeral pyre, but nothing had made Roxas budge from his very stubborn stance that he was not going to the Ball. Axel had tried reasoning and the punishment stance, since this was apparently required of every resident in the Hotel-- but still, no budge. He had contemplated not going because Roxas wasn't going. What was the point? He'd just see people he had already pissed off. It probably would not turn out well.

Or it might turn out okay. Like fun. And besides, the suit that he had found hanging in his closet had bene iressistable. He'd only have one shot to wear it-- might as well look ridiculous when he could.

Loosening his tie a little, he milled about the lobby, being careful to check in any direction for any incoming missles aimed at his head. In any case, perhaps he could find Sakura. She was close to a friend as any in this place. Maybe Sora. It was the next best thing, right?

Fidgeting with the button of his suit jacket, he turned nervously and saw a patch of blonde hair, moving next to the wall.

Roxas?

Now even more nervously, he started toward the wall and then a grin split his face as he approached. "Well, aren't you a pretty sight," he purred, stopping a few feet away to admire Roxas's suit, "all dolled up. Who knew?"

He wanted to add, I knew but Roxas could figure it out.

[twicealie]

Head tilts up, catching eye contact instant, before a light smile tugged at his lips. "I would like to think I'm always a pretty sight, Ax." Mused gently as he regarded the older man curiously, what a... bold suit. That smile set into a smirk, brows raised. "I can't say I'm surprised to see you in a red suit. I don't see why I didn't spot you earlier, you stick out like a sore thumb." But he did mean that in a good way, that suit fit Axel's form perfectly, and his eyes lingered a little too long, looking him over, before regaining eye contact.

"But, you clean up nice."

[reddendream]

Roxas saw him immediately, and immediately smiled. Axel smiled back, resisting the urge to pounce on him and instead let Roxas eye him in his suit. Axel took the opportunity to equally eye rape him, tilting his head and thanking whatever had stuck them in this godforsaken place for giving Roxas a shirt with buttons that he had, of course, unbuttoned. He smirked at his friend, and then said, "I think you missed a few buttons, Rox."

"And that was the point," he said, again in that very purring voice, moving over to the wall and sliding his arm up, so that he was stretched languidly against it next to Roxas, but not touching. He might as well be touching him, but that could wait until later. "Cleaning up nice, and standing out. So...." He inched a little closer, so that the arm up against th wall was above Roxas's head, nearly possessively. "I didn't expect to see you here. I can't say I'm displeased, however."

[twicealie]

"It was too hot. It was either that or come naked. And we wouldn't want that, now would we?" Said as innocently as can be, really. Although there was hardly anything innocent about him, not at the moment. Being coy. Hands in pockets, he didn't move an inch when Axel came closer, he could feel him close and he tried not to move closer himself. He stayed put. He didn't want a repeat at the pool.

"I decided it couldn't hurt. Maybe dance and chat up a pretty girl." Teasing, peering up at him with a coy little smirk.

[reddendream]

Axel felt a smidge of disappointment when Roxas did not return the "moving close together" gesture and instead stayed put, folding his hands into his pockets. He moved a milimeter closer, but stopped again, because quite obviously Roxas was either trying to drive him crazy or seriously did not want to be touched. He didn't want to repeat the earlier fight they'd had, and he peered down-- at his face, Axel, focus on his face and not down his shirt-- at his friend, trying not to look frustrated.

"A pretty girl?" Axel faked a face, and then looked about the milling hotel guests increduously. "A pretty girl from around here? I'm the best you got baby, might as well stick with me."

He smirked through a smile, and tried to figure out the best possible course of ... wait. Hadn't they fought last time because Roxas thought that Axel thought that he was unattractive? Wasn't that the reason? Because Axel hadn't kissed him? Oh shit. Oh shit. He looked worriedly at Roxas, and then made a quick decision and grabbed his chin and jerked it up.

"We could dance," he said forcefully, "because you're a pretty girl too and yea, we could dance too." He didn't let go of Roxas's face, and hoped that this would end without him getting decked in the eye.

[twicealie]

That was a surprise, really. He didn't trust Axel to touch him, still a bit iffy on what happened at the pool. Sure they said their peace and things were... better for the most part. He felt his breath nearly catch in his throat as his chin was jerked up, making eye contact immediately. He tried to continue to play it cool.

"Are you sure you want to dance with me? For real?" But he held his gaze, and didn't try to pull his chin back. He stayed as is, curious as to what Axel would do.

[reddendream]

Roxas didn't try to move, and Axel flinched anyway. Not a lot, but a little. Well... this was going better than expected. Not that he had expected it to end in failure. But he had expected a least a chin snatchback. And all he was doing was staring..with those big blue eyes of his.. oh fuck.

"Of course I want to dance with you, you idiot," Axel said, quite affectionately, smirking a little. "I love you, remember." He moved his head down, quite naturally, and then yanked it back, looking ponderously at his friend. "Uh... I mean... uh... can I kiss you? Is that okay? I'll only do it it's okay with you, I don't wanna you know, do anything you don't want, that is definitely not cool with me so, uh, yeah? Or no? I'm totally okay with no either." He grinned very big, flashing all his teeth, and then realized he probably looked like an idiot so he stopped that, and looked stonily back at his friend.

That probably wasn't good either, but what the hell was he supposed to do when staring into his big watery gooey lovely eyes like that?

[twicealie]

That caused him to laugh, lightly though. Eyes sparkling with amusement, smiling wide. "Now who's the idiot. Of course I want you to kiss me Axel..." His voice going softer now, tilting his head up a little more, in an inviting way. "I wanted you to kiss me the first time... of course I want you to now. I want it." He wanted to add a 'I want you. ...But that was pretty much a given, so he didn't say anything else.

Instead those naturally light pink lips of his parted ever so slightly, imploring blue eyes never leaving his. Just patiently... waiting. Making sure Axel was okay with it too, of course.

[reddendream]

"I'm not an idiot," he protested immeidately, and then shut up when Roxas went on, his voice getting softer, never losing the connection between their gazes. And he was tilting his head, so Axel dropped his hand and just stared at him and tried to remember that he sort of needed to breathe to continue watching him. Breath. In. Out.

He didn't say anything else, but the invitation was clear, and suddenly Axel couldn't bear to not kiss him. He dropped his mouth less than gently on Roxas's, probably knocking their teeth together in his eagerness, and then he pulled back a little, in embarassment, before wrapping his arms around Roxas and pulling him close, pulling him deeper into the kiss and against his chest.

[twicealie]

Okay, people could call their first kiss sloppy- and maybe it was, just a bit... But to Roxas it was wonderful. He easily sunk into him, arms reaching up to wrap around Axel's neck, kissing him back eagerly, pressing into him just a bit. Lips parted, eyes closed and he just concentrated on the feel and taste of him. His insides were fluttering and it... it just felt how he knew it would feel. It felt wonderful.

He murmured Axel's name into the kiss, purring it out. Fingers stroking at the back of his neck.

[reddendream]

He responded enthusiastically, making a noise into Roxas's mouth when he felt his fingers at the back of his neck. Not fair. He responded by spreading opening one hand and pressing his fingers through the fabric of Roxas's suit to press against his back before dragging down a litle. It was a little pathetic, but no fair, Roxas should be making noises too.

He shivered againw he heard his name on Roxas's lips as his fingers continued their stroking. He responded the same way, with Roxas's name, and then he pulled back a little, not breaking their lips but enough so that he could talk into Roxas's open mouth.

"I bet they're all staring," he said, still gripping and rubbing Roxas's back, "those perverts."

[twicealie]

Roxas wanted to make a noise, and he did let out a small whimper. But... he didn't want to seem too needy. But he couldn't help himself. He just realized the feelings he harbored for Axel since they met for the first time, and to finally get what he wanted after so long... He gently tugged at Axel's hair, breaking the kiss- cheeks flushed from the kiss.

"Let them stare," murmured softly, "I don't care what they think." He could barely think straight, feeling Axel pressed against him like this, he felt so good... and he could still taste that kiss, and he absently licked his lips to remember the flavor.

"So... should we make everyone jealous and have a dance?"

[reddendream]

Axel smiled when he heard Roxas making noises and tried to press him closer into his own body-- if that was still possible. When Roxas gently pulled at his hair, Axel made a disappointed noise but followed, trying to remember to breathe while there was a chance. Didn't know what could happen next-- Roxas might just jump on him and lose control like a crazy wild thing. Unlikely. But it was better to be prepared for any situation.

They were still close so close, so Axel lowered his forehead, resting it against Roxas's own and when he saw Roxas's tongue flick out to rub against his own lips, Axel shivered a little. That was embarassing and Roxas probably felt it, but he skipped along, hoping he wouldn't call him out on it.

"They're already jealous," Axel interjected, feeling Roxas's cool forehead against his own. "I mean, you're with me, yea? Of course they're jealous, the lot of them." He didn't think Roxas would take it the wrong way, but to prevent any misunderstanding, he rubbed his head against his... his soulmate or boyfriend or whatever they were. "They should be jealous of me. Because I'm with you," he said, a litle more softly, trying to look into Roxas's vast pools of blue. "And yea... let's show them our slick moves."
