~Axl Rose One Shots~

best friends or somethin more? pt 4

This kiss lasted a few good moments, but, of course, all good things must come to an end, as the saying goes.

We both pulled away a bit, both taking a soft breath as Axl rested his forehead against mine. I looked into his eyes, and saw nothing but love, nothing but tenderness. Something I never saw in Axl, considering we were just best friends. Nothing more, nothing less.

"Axl, that was-"
I began to speak, but, he cut me off.

"Gracie, look, I love you, damn it. I just..."
He paused, trying to find the right words to say to me, as he ran his fingers through his firey strawberry-blonde locks.

"I love you. I know I always say it to you, cause, you know me, we're best friends, but, fuck. I mean it, really fuckin' mean it this time."
Axl said, looking into my brown eyes, as I listened to him continue on.

"We've been through everythin' together since we were kiddos in Indiana. You became the only girl who I knew I wanted to have in my life now and forever. You've showed me what unconditional love really is by always takin' care of me n being by my side on a daily basis. And....I just- I love you, Gracie, I love you more than anythin' in this goddamn world-"
Axl said, as he took a strand of my black hair between his fingers and played with it, just a little bit

Axl was right, we've done life together since we were kids growing up in Lafayette. I was always there to help him, especially when it came to his abusive step-dad. He'd sneak out at nights later in his teen years and come to my house in the middle of the night, and he'd sleep with me, knowing that he was safe with me, always and forever.

"And I-"
I paused, looking over at Axl, testing my hand on his upper back, trying to get my words out.

"I love you too, Axl. I do, I was scared to admit it to myself, but, I've loved you since the start. And, i love you even more, now that you told me how you truly feel."
I spoke, as Axl let got of my hair, letting it fall down

"Should've just admitted it earlier, y'know?"
He said, with a soft laugh, as he moved his hand to my side, giving it a gentle rub. His hand moving up and down along my side.

"I mean, we could've, but, you know, it's more special now that we did-"
I said, with a soft laugh as well.

Axl and I took a few moments just to sit there along the pier, enjoying the night together. Now that we finally admitted our feelings, it finally felt right.

We sat, just taking in the night together, till Axl pulled me over, getting me on his lap, his hands wrapping around my waist, on my hips and stomach.

I smiled, resting the back of my head on his shoulder, as we began to sway side to side, just a bit. Being in his arms was home, honestly. It's always been my home, being together or not.

Axl's pov:

Finally, I had her, right in my arms, where she should be. She was home, and always has been my home. There wasn't a day that went by where Gracie wasn't with me. It's always been like that since our childhood. And now, I told her how I felt, and it felt pretty fucking good.

As she rested the back of her head against my shoulder, I pressed gentle kisses to the side of her head, showing her some affection.

My mind was traveling, looking down at her body, as she stayed on my lap.

There was a part of me that just wanted to hold her, and enjoy this time, while the other half of my brain was telling me to unzip those jeans of hers and show her how much I truly do love her. In the best form: sex.

I gently placed my hand on gracie's thigh, gently rubbing the top of it in circles with my thumb, being as gentle as possible. I moved my hand to the left a little, gently rubbing my fingers and thumb along her inner thigh, hearing her breathing start to pick up just a bit.

"I'm just so tempted to feel you right now, precious girl....so DAMN tempted."
I said to Gracie, whispering right into her ear, wanting to send shivers down her spine.

My POV:

A chill went down my spine as Axl whispered those exact words to me. I could feel him under me, his jeans were getting tighter than ever.

"You wanna get back in the car, baby?"
He asked me, breaking me from my own thoughts

"That'll be the best plan."
I said, nodding my head quickly, as he carefully got me off his lap.
