“I don’t know what to wear on a first date, what the hell was I thinking?” He pulled a shirt from his suitcase and held it out in front of him. “I didn’t even bring clothes suitable for other people to see, let alone a damn date.” He looked around the hotel room aimlessly, not sure exactly what he was looking for then gave up and fell back onto the bed. “UGH!”
He reached over and patted around the bed, searching for his phone. He felt the cold screen and slid it into his hand, then checked the time. “Roxas is gonna be here in 10 minutes, and I have nothing to wear!” He sat up again, then stood and started pacing the room. “This would be a perfect time for my sister, wouldn’t it,” He muttered, running a hand through his hair and reluctantly picking up the only button-down shirt he had brought with him. A hideous fake denim shirt that he hadn’t worn since he lost his virginity 8 years ago. Although the shirt was tied to a disgusting mess of sloppy sex in the sleep-out his first boyfriend had called home, it was the best thing he had, so he slipped it on over a black t-shirt and pulled on the cleanest pants he had. His phone buzzed, his alarm indicating that Roxas would be at the door in any minute.
He grabbed his room key then leaned against the desk and waited for the knock at the door.
Axel smiled when the blonde didn’t move away from his hand. “You’re worth all of my oxygen,” He smirked. “Besides, the hostess did say that we should help children first. And I wouldn’t want you to get hurt now, would I?”
“Wow, I suddenly feel very self aware of my baby face again.” The blond snorted, trying to decide what he wanted out of this encounter with Axel. It was becoming physical very quickly, and he didn’t normally do one night stands. Maybe he’d make an exception today? “Would you like to come with me back to my hotel after we get off?”
Axel scratched the back of his neck. “I’m not much of a ‘going back to someone’s hotel on the first day that I meet them’ kind of guy. How about I take you out for dinner tomorrow night, and we’ll see where we go from there. It’ll give me a chance to clean up this mess of mine,” He said, pointing to himself. “I guess I don’t look too great after a plane trip.”

Axel smirked, relishing in the blonde’s teasing nature. “Well, well, well, someone’s cocky aren’t they,” He purred. “I guess I have no choice but to call you then don’t I?” His eyes roamed over the blonde next to him, just imagining what he would be doing to him if they were alone. Probably something to do with handcuffs. He settled with smoothing a wrinkle in Roxas’ pants and leaving his hand to linger on the boy’s thigh.
Roxas pretended to become busy with reading the flight safety pamphlet, “We’d hit the ocean like concrete and the plane would be torn to shreds. I love these things. Promise me if we’re to die in the next thirty minutes, you’ll let me take your oxygen too, so I can be blissfully high in my last forty seconds?” He snorted, placing his hand on top of Axel’s and rubbing the redhead’s knuckles with his thumb.

“Hey, I’m plenty handsome, a little extra never hurt though,” He smiled, licked his finger then touched his own skin, making a brief ‘tssss’ sound. “How do you think I get this hot?"
He glanced at the blonde with one eye half open. “I’ll pretend I didn’t see you slip that in there, so you’ll be anticipating my phone call from the moment we land, not sure whether I don’t want to call you, or whether I just haven’t seen the note yet.”
"I already know you’ve seen the note, so now you have no excuse if you wait too long and I get off the hook. You need to carpe diem because I’m this good looking without extra sleep. Can you only imagine what I’ll look like tomorrow after I’m well rested?” He teased.
Axel smirked, relishing in the blonde’s teasing nature.

He felt the nudge on his shoulder and rolled away in protest, not ready to wake from his nap. “Leave me alone, I need beauty sleep,” He mumbled, pulling up the blanket he had draped over himself before he had fallen asleep.
“Are you implying you’re not handsome enough already?” Roxas teased, “Alright, I’ll let you sleep.” Instead, in case Axel didn’t rouse immediately after they reached the airport, he tucked his number into the redhead’s bag.
Call me: 424-xxx-xxxx
- That Unbelievably hot blond guy from the plane who you know you wanna holla at ;)

Axel brushed some of the blonde’s hair out of his eyes. “As soon as we get there I’m hitting the beach,” He said, stretching his legs in front of him as much as he could and resting against the blonde boy, feeling tired himself.
Waking from his nap, the blond felt embarrassed. He had just slept against an almost complete stranger, and as he shook the drowsiness from his head, he felt a bit of guilt as this wasn’t exactly an activity his mother, or even his friends for that matter, would condone. Sleeping against someone just seemed…intimate compared to sleeping with someone. They only had thirty more minutes until they landed which startled Roxas. He had been hoping for a bit more time with his new friend, and he had been utterly knocked out by that medicine…Should he wake Axel? Or wait? “Axel,” He nudged the redhead, “Hey, wake up, cutie.”
He felt the nudge on his shoulder and rolled away in protest, not ready to wake from his nap. “Leave me alone, I need beauty sleep,” He mumbled, pulling up the blanket he had draped over himself before he had fallen asleep.

“I hope I’m not much of a stranger anymore, it would make all of that flirting very pointless on my part,” He chuckled and moved his arm to a more comfortable position. “I’ll be sure to take you up on that offer."
"Flirting is fun. I love flirting. It’s a game really and a life skill.” He laughed, “Hawaii is going to be a blast~”

“Your shoulder will do, stranger. I don’t know what kind of strange things you could be hiding.” He snickered, “So, over your fear of planes?”
He chuckled and moved closer, hoping it would somehow make his shoulder more comfortable for the blonde. “I guess you could say that, I’m still prepared for that turbulence though. Thanks for calming me down,” He smiled. “I’m sure you didn’t intend to but you did, thanks a lot.”
Roxas settled against the other’s arm and closed his eyes, “You know my mom told me to never talk to strangers, but talking to strangers was the best decision I’ve ever made. If there’s turbulence, you can wake me up and I’ll continue on obnoxiously about my life.”

“So Colorado? What’s it like there? Mountains seem nice. I’ve always liked the idea of living there, but I’m stuck to the ocean.” He snorted, “Plus, all the fam is in Cali too. Mostly up north, though.”
Axel shrugged. “It’s not bad. It was just really strange switching from a place where it can snow heavily, to a place like Cali, where snow can be like a foreign concept there,” He chuckled. “I guess I just decided to move to LA for a change, and to get away from my mom and dad, I’m still trying to figure out what I’m actually doing. What about you? How did you get into the whole journalism scene?”
“I wrote a lot, and I kept writing and submitting stuff until someone gave me a chance.” Roxas offered simply, “Everything is not as hard as it seems. Certain things just take time and perseverance. That’s my motto at least. So, you’ve asked me about my exes,” He paused for a moment, “Do I have anyone to look out for?”
He reached back and scratched his neck, laughing nervously. “There is this…one girl,” He began, feeling a twinge of pain in his chest as he said it. “We were together for six years before we mutually ended it. I was moving to LA, she was moving to New York, and because she would be studying a full-time course at art school, and I was going to be devoting all of my time to photography we just decided that we would be straining ourselves too hard and decided to end it for the time being. But that was five years ago, so I guess ‘the time being’ is out the window,” He shrugged and took another drink. “It’s no big deal though.”
“Ah, but it’s those kind of relationships that you learn the most about yourself. All things build you to who you are.” Roxas hummed, “If you don’t mind, my cold medicine is kicking in and I’m about to sleep whether I want to or not. I didn’t plan to meet an attractive man on the plane today, so I didn’t prepare for optimal flirting capacity.” He laughed softly.
Axel chuckled. “Go ahead, if you want I’ve heard that I make quite a decent pillow,” He said, gesturing to his chest.
