if they didnt want me to fall hopelessly in love with fictional characters why did they make them so easy to fall in love with huh?????????? why did they make them so kissable and easy to care about and imagine a life with hmmmmmmmmm??????????
tags: fluff, tiny bit of angst with a happy ending, axel & reader are in organization xiii
both you and axel were part of the organization, so neither of you was particularly familiar with what love was
you've heard about it, but didn't know if it was something a nobody like yourselves could feel
though without realizing it, you two had been in love with each other since you two became friends, always believing those feelings you had to be nothing but friendship
axel was the first one of you to realize that you weren't just a friend to him, nor were you just his best friend
roxas and xion were both his friends, best friends even, but you were still so much more important to him
axel only realized it was love, when one of the other members of the organization made a joke about it, telling axel that what he felt for you must be love
and while it was just a joke, axel truly did feel that way about you and slowly realized it because of that
though he knew that even if you felt the same way, you'd never realize it on your own
and so, axel began to introduce love to you slowly; telling you stories, showing you poems and love songs, in an attempt for you to understand what love truly was
and as you became more familiar with what love was like, axel decided it was time for him to confess to you!聽
after all, he was certain you felt the same way about him, you just hadn't realized it yet!聽
but even as you admitted to having feelings for axel, that were so confusing and overwhelming, you were scared to act upon them
after all, you cared so much for axel. too much! you didn't want to lose what you two had if this love thing ended up going wrong
but axel assured you that nothing will change between you two. you can be friends and dating at the same time. those things aren't mutually exclusive
