▹ ☆  Axel ☆ ◃

                    ✣ 「 ヴェン」 ❦❧ ─ had this been the Ventus that Axel initially met, that blond would have blushed and shied away. Had he been still that blond who have yet to grown further, after his long decade of a nap… that Ventus would have pushed the redhead away… because clearly his heart and mind were set upon Terra and Aqua… to rescue and reunited with them. Not anymore. He  W a s n ‘ t  that kid with emotional problems anymore. He’d grown, slightly in physiques and emotionally –becoming more stable– sharper, keener, he wanted to make Axel proud of him. It didn’t matter what leader –Xemnas– had said, all he wanted was to work hard for the man… demon, he’d fallen in love with and gave up everything else to be with the one who is one virtually the center of his world.

                Hardened his heart when it was just  B u s i n e s s , come to understand the line of work, responsibility Axel burden on his own shoulder, and now he carries his own weight, adorning the Black Thirteenth’s coat with pride, strife with a conviction burning in his eyes. Coming far along from the kid who was heavily a pacifist, afraid to hurt and harm, be hurt than the one hurting… to someone who took action for a greater cause. Burying himself in work to cover the longing and missing that ravage his heart… and often stay awake at night, missing that certain fiery demon… his grin and smirk, ‘I miss you, please come back soon,’ And often he’d found himself saying more times that he’d lost count…

                                         … sometimes making a brutal decision for the first time.

     Ventus had to… end a version of himself who was becoming a Heartless.

                 It was a devastating experience he’d witness by far. A branch of himself… who have fallen significant into the depth of the Abyss, to give up his own heart for the lust of power. He was the exact same thing as Terra had once been.. and what Vanitas is. Craving strength and power. The eyes… the chilling eyes of that heartless who had been previously a Ventus stared at him. Cold, died, amber eyes… and it smiled at him. Never once Ventus the XV had came in practical contact with and observe this event before. A Dreadful   F e a r   crawl up his spine as he fought this monster that used to be… himself. For once, he’d wished Axel was here… he prayed and wished so hard that Axel would be back… so he could just… hold him tight, bury his head into the warmth that is his lover. Steady his shaking and swallow away his tears… he was absolutely  T e r r i f i e d  .  Not of the monster… …

                    Of the fact there’s a chance, a very high chance that…

                                        … he, himself would have become that very same monster.

              But… Axel was not here… he wasn’t anymore. And sometimes Ventus had even thought, maybe this was all a mistake; that they weren’t meant to be. Maybe the redhead didn’t want him anymore. Maybe everything was just a mirage, a make up belief in his delirium and he was just  D e s t i n e d  to be forever alone. In this perpetual loneliness, his eternal limbo of emptiness. The blond almost caved with a meltdown, finding no confide in other members, familiar faces that didn’t seem quite close to. Always roaming down the corridor on his own, the deafening echos of his own two feet his only constant companion. So lost in his dread, he’d failed to become aware of a pair of arms outstretched, yanking his form from the sight of the hallway, into a corner. Ventus all but fought back, resisting, startled, shocked, caught unaware, “W-wha—?!” But silence by a warm lips he’d grown familiar with.

                                     A pair of lips so  F a m i l i a r , it made his heart ached terribly.

          All resistant ceased. And his arms immediately found purchase on the familiar black coat, and a tall figure, he was terribly missed. Kissing his fire demon so hard, to let him know, ‘I missed you,’ opening his mouth, without needing to prompt for invitation, eagerly wishing to deepen their kiss, conveying his feelings, ‘I need you so bad,’ and he wouldn’t let go. Fingers carding into accustomed to red hair, the pretty vibrant color of fire and passion. Ventus refuses to let Axel go, not when he’s here, when he’s  F i n a l l y  here… not when he isn’t just a figment of his imagination. S o l i d . Warmth. Beating Heart. Ventus spared no words, and dove in for more kisses. Pressing their bodies together, it didn’t matter what the consequences, it only matter that, ‘I wasn’t alone. It wasn’t a dream. Axel wouldn’t abandon him,’ and when their kisses part…

                   Tear fell from his eyes, and Ventus couldn’t  S t o p  them from falling.

                                               Gripping onto black coat sleeve with trembling hands.

             The tears came in so many emotions mixed within. Relief. Gladness. happiness, joy… but there was also  F e a r , dreading, apprehension and anxiety of the answer to come. “You’re here. I’ve missed you. So much. Don’t… don’t leave me again.” Because… because… Ventus couldn’t he can handle the loneliness anymore. Clinging firmly onto the demon whom have stolen his heart… and his breath away. “Just… p-please stay with me, longer this time.” Silently pleading, ‘you’re my only comfort.’  Once more... the blond wasted no time in pressing his own lips, against Axel’s, for closure. For... himself, needing an anchor again.

       “You know I worry about stuff like that.”  Axel answered quietly, pulling the other to himself and rolling over to face him completely.  He propped himself up a little on one elbow; they were lying in bed and it was morning, though there was no sun to say it. “I’m pretty fearless, but losing you?  Terrifies me.  You know I’d do anything to keep you safe.  But maybe these nightmares…”  He raised a hand, traced a finger down ven’s cheek.  Bent and kissed him briefly on the mouth.  “You know I’m ageless, and you’re not.  I think you’re scared in your heart of hearts, about what will happen as you get older and I don’t.”  he took one of Ven’s hands, thumb brushing over the other’s knuckles.  “I’m sorry you’re having it.  And I love you.  Try to remember that next time these dreams try to hurt you.”

▹ ☆  Axel ☆ ◃

                    ✣ 「 ヴェン」 ❦❧ ─ ...Ventus didn’t think he needed Axel to stated that, ‘love is a whole package of hurt and happiness,’ the blond himself had been downright terrified each time his beloved redhead didn’t return home on time from missions. And often his mind wandered to the most unpleasant of places... of course the family members had to make comments of him being less faithful in their Axel. Irony, him, who is the depiction of  F a i t h  is lacking in it... especially when love comes into the mix.

                 “I am... getting older aren’t I?” Ventus couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t long ago, he resembled a late teen, shy from hitting his early twenties... so young in appearance, even Axel had issues of seeing him pass being that small kid. Now? He looked in his twenties... despite chronically, the blond is in his forties. The changes to his face with slightly less baby fat.. and the front of his bangs had grown much longer --he didn’t bother to cut it-- and left it to remind him, how time now resumed, no longer ageless individual stuck in his youth due to lack of heart... or sleeping. “Would you really love me, when I’m an old man, grey and wrinkly?” It was meant as a joke of course, and he appreciated Axel comforting him, despite hating getting up in the mornings.

"Smash or pass, me." The redhead stood smirking, hands on his hips.

Send me “Smash or Pass” + a name and my muse will answer with 100% honesty. ((Accepting))

▹ ☆ Axel  ☆ ◃ 

                     ✣ 「 ヴェン」 ❦❧ ─  “You have to ask?” Wrapping his arms around Axel’s neck, caressing his lips against the demon’s neck, and breathed out in a tempting manner into his ear, “I absolutely. Positively. With undying passion, smash you. No regrets, how can I say no to my strikingly handsome, drop dead gorgeous and sexy fiery sweetheart, hm?” Pressing a kiss under the redhead’s ear, whilst comfortably seated onto Axel’s lap, shamelessly.
