A Fiery Romance

Confessions, Kisses, and the Perfect Ending

Stray's POV
"No. I don't want to leave you. Why would I leave when I want to stay with you?" I ask. Axel moves out of the way and lets me in his apartment. Where we can talk things out in more of a private area. He moves to the couch and I just stand there. "Axel, this might sound crazy, considering the fact that I've met you like a couple of days ago, but I think...I've fallen in love with you. Nobody or not, you're still a somebody to me. Axel. Lea. Names make no difference to me. I assure you that." I say. I finally said my feelings. I know it's crazy, but I just feel like we belong. I just feel like he's fated to be with me. Like, maybe I was meant to move to this town. I move slowly to the couch. Axel just sits there, unmoving. "Uhm...hello?" I ask. Is he dead?? Suddenly, he turns to face me. "Thanks, Stray." he says before fading away. What?? What was that about? Did he really just disappear?? Why?? Whatever. I'm not gonna cry. Don't cry. I won't cry and I'm crying. Leaaa. Please come back. Suddenly, I feel arms reach around me from behind. "Yo, Stray. Whatcha doing? There's no sobbing in my apartment." I here a voice from behind. I break out of the grip and turn around to see Axel...no Lea staring at me. Cloak and everything, but no tattoos under his eyes. "What?? But I thought...you were...and then you..? What?" I can't talk. I can't even form sentences. This is all too shocking for me to handle. "Thought I was gone, didn't you? I can't be broken down oh so easily, you know." A small grin forms on my face. He's back. The Lea, I knew, was back. I walk towards him and instead of thinking to give him a hug, I slap him across the face. "Ow!" he yells. "What was that for?" "That's for leaving me and making me worry. That's for not doing your part of the bargain of the walls. That's for your alter ego making a mockery out of me. And that's for-" I yell at him, but then get cut off for he puts his arms around my waist and leans down to captivate my lips with his, gripping a hand in the back of my hair and giving me an ever deeper kiss. My mind goes blank. I've had kisses before, but never like this. This was exciting and exuberant. It made me go hungry for more. After peeling our lips away from each other, trying to get back some air, I forget what I was going to say and he just looks down at me and smirks. "So..how exactly did you know of me being Axel and me liking you and all that?" he asks. "I...read your diary." I say going 'heh heh'. "Ah, well. I guess I just have to punish you." he says with a smirk yet again. "Oh yeah? And how exactly are you going to do that?" I ask with a smirk forming on my face. He cuffs my cheek, yet pulling me in for another enticing kiss.
