"Nice." His whisper was reverent. Then he blinked and shook his head sharply, running a hand sheepishly through the long, red spikes of his hair. "I mean, not nice. Sad they're losing their building, whoever owns it. Sucks losing city history and...stuff."
"Axel." Turning around, he saw Roxas was sitting on the blanket, leaning back on his arms. The look he was giving Axel was warm, and he felt that look to his very center. "You mean nice."
Normally I only quote one or two bits at a time, but that whole chunk is just fabulous. Axel's "Ooh, pretty," then "Er, I mean, fire bad. Tree pretty.", and Roxas just being so "Liar :P", and yay. *hugs it*
I am LOVING the song for this bit, btw, never heard it before.
I think the romanticism by now is reviving the starry-eyed little girl who's been in a coma since Beauty and the Beast first came out in the cinema's. I just. Yes. And combined with the song, I. Yeah. I think I'm in love.
Love the detail of his t-shirts wearing thin. My sis has one wrangler t-shirt that's damn near transparent by now, but still can't part with it.
Love love love pulling in the Struggle bat reference as well! It's awesome :D.
"No, really. I mean, could you imagine how much karma a person would have to have to be rewarded with an awesome life?"
"Maybe you have that sort of karma. Maybe you were really screwed over in some previous existence, and now the universe is making up for all the things that sucked then."
OKAY. We need to talk. You already had me melting (how very appropriately) at the nearly choking up on walking in on the candles scene and the making him so fucking happy, but this? OW AND OW AND MORE OW, and also *god yes please yes*, because I am now at the point of incoherence and keyboard smashing and I *love this fic so hard*.
"Roxas' shaking whisper" also squishes my innards. Just, oh. And Roxas calling Axel beautiful instead of the other way around squishes me too.
And I'm done, I'm at the end, and I'm not crying but I'm gutted it's finished because I just want to go back and read it all over again now right now, because it's *beautiful*.
Honest to god, I'd put this prompt up as one of the fun ones, and had only really expected short things off it from Axel/Roxas shippers, but *god*, this is more than I could have hoped for or dreamed of. I love it. It's just... I love it, I have no other words for how much I love it, and it's wonderful.
