Axel / Lea x Reader One Shots (Requests Open)

Lucky Spin

"[Y/N]! Come play with us!"

You were passing by the Gray Room of the Organization's castle on your way to the kitchen to grab something to eat. Demyx had called you over to the coffee table with a bottle in the center. The small group, consisting of Demyx, Luxord, Roxas, Xion and Axel sat down on the surrounding couches with snacks and drinks for everyone to share.

"What's that?"

"Spin the Bottle! Ever play it before?" Demyx asked, slinging an arm around your shoulder. You shook your head 'no' shyly and started to blush.

"I think I'll sit this one out, but thanks for asking," you said politely and removed Demyx's arm off of you.

"Awww, c'mon [Y/N]! Relax and live a little! We all know each other, so no need to get bashful!"

Truth was, that's why you were worried in the first place. You've never been kissed before, not since you joined the Organization and especially not when you were fully human. It was a secret you've kept close and you sure as hell didn't want anyone to find out, especially Axel. Yeah, you were told that being a Nobody meant that you couldn't feel any emotions, but there was something about Axel that made you question that whole theory Xemnas preached to you. Some may argue that what you were "feeling" were just the memories of what it felt like to have a heart. In any case, you were hardcore crushing on the fiery red head, and you wanted to save yourself from any major embarrassments.

"Please join us, [Y/N]! Don't make me the only girl playing," Xion laughed.

"What about Larxene?"

"Oh, she said this game wasn't her "style", whatever that means. I just think it's an excuse not to hang out with us." Xion shrugged and patted the seat cushion next to her, silently asking you again to join.

Sighing, you sat down on the couch softly next to her and everyone cheered. You hid your face behind your hair, avoiding everyone's eyes. "Maybe a few quick rounds won't hurt," you thought. "I might not even get picked. Just watch for five minutes and leave. Easy. You can do this."

"Alrighty, let's get started! Who wants to go first?" Demyx asked. There was an awkward pause that lasted a little longer than anyone would have wanted. "Yeesh, don't all jump at once, guys."

"I'll go," Xion said. She leaned forward and spun the bottle, watching as it slowly came to a stop and landed on Roxas. The two of them looked up at each other in somewhat surprise and started blushing.

"I mean, it's about time you guys kissed so just do us all a favor and get on with it," Axel smirked. You looked over at him and noticed he was watching you intently the entire time. He winked at you, and you started to feel your cheeks redden.

Roxas and Xion took their time, slowly adjusting themselves on the couch before leaning in. Their lips met in a soft, quick kiss; the rest of the group (except you) whistled and clapped. When they parted, Roxas softly took a hold of Xion's hand and continued to hold it throughout the rest of the game.

"Who's next??" Demyx said excitedly.

"I say we make it interesting: whoever spun the bottle last has to pick the next player," Luxord said.

"Ooooh, I like that! Okay, Xion. Who's it gonna be?"

Xion thought for a moment, looking around the circle to each person. "I pick...Axel!"

Axel huffed, extending his arm towards the bottle and gave it a light spin. The bottle slowed down almost too quickly before pointing at the next player: you.

It took you a moment to register what just happened. Staring wide eyed at the bottle, it finally clicked that it meant you had to kiss Axel. Your first kiss was going to be with Axel. Oh...

"Alright, [Y/N] and Axel! Let's see some fireworks!" Demyx clapped.

You felt the heat rush up to your face way too fast and started feeling dizzy. Axel hadn't moved from his spot on the couch yet, but watched you as your face burned as red as his hair. Your eyes locked for a moment before you started to internally panic. "This is too much pressure. I can't do this. I can't—"

"I'm sorry," you said and abruptly stood up before running out of the common room. You began heading towards the long corridor of the sleeping quarters, making a b-line right to your room. Slamming the door behind you, you sat down on your bed with your head in your hands trying to calm yourself down. A soft knock on your door pulled you out of your thoughts.

"[Y/N]? Can I come in?" It was Axel. As if you weren't embarrassed enough already. You didn't respond, not trusting your voice to sound steady, and watched as Axel slowly opened the door and closed it behind him.

"Well... that was interesting," he said and scratched the back of his head.

"I'm sorry, Axel. I didn't mean to offend you."

"Nah, you didn't. It just wasn't the reaction I was expecting. I mean, it is just a game after all."

Just a game. Great, now you knew that he didn't have any feelings for you in return.

"It's not that. I just... never mind." You brought your knees up close to you and buried your head in them, hiding your face.

"You can tell me anything, [Y/N]. You know that, right?" Axel walked over and sat next to you. "Or, if you'd rather not, it's fine too. Not gonna force you or anything."

You felt guilty leaving him hanging, especially after your great escape from the common room. Taking a deep breath, you lowered your legs and stared at your hands. "I've just... I've never been kissed before, okay?"

"Ever?" Axel asked.

"No. I didn't want anyone knowing, especially you. I really didn't want to play at first, but I figured I could get away with not being chosen. It's not exactly how I pictured my first kiss happening, so I wanted to avoid it."

"Wait, go back a second. What did you mean by 'especially me'"? Axel raised an eyebrow.

"Because... I like you Axel. A lot. I know we're not supposed to feel anything being Nobodies and all, but I still feel something with you. I have for a while."

"How long, exactly?"

"Since the first time you took me to get ice cream and watch the sunset..." you bowed your head low in embarrassment. Not only did you confess you've never been kissed, but now you told your crush how you feel. Tonight was a disaster...

Axel hummed softly. "Well, I should probably tell you then that I've been feeling the same way, too. Actually, a little bit longer than you have to be honest."

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah. I first started feeling differently about you during our first mission together. When we went to Agrabah, remember? It was about a week after you first joined the Organization, and you were still getting used to fighting the Heartless. You tripped over a rug while fighting a few shadows and crashed into a merchant stand, breaking almost everything the guy was selling!"

You started to laugh, shaking your head. "I was so embarrassed! And that merchant was so angry with me, he wanted me to buy everything I broke!"

"We gave him all the Munny we had on us that day. I think we still owe him a bit more to completely pay off that debt," he laughed.

"Seriously, that's when you started having feelings for me? Of all things?"

"Haha, yep! You're an adorable klutz, [Y/N]." Axel ruffled your hair as the two of you kept laughing. Once you both caught your breath, he placed a hand on your cheek, bringing your face close to his. The heat in your face started to return, but this time it wasn't from panic or embarrassment. Axel felt the same way you did, and now you finally knew that. No more wondering or wishing: this was actually real. Your lips finally met his for a soft, quick kiss before Axel leaned back in to kiss you again with more passion. He was intoxicating; the softness of his lips, the sweet taste of sea-salt ice cream on his breath, his tongue occasionally sweeping into the mix. If you had a heart, this is where it would explode.

Pulling back a little, you both allowed your eyes to flutter open. Axel smiled softly and placed his forehead on yours. "So, is that how you pictured your first kiss?"

"Nope, that was better than anything I've imagined."
