The nightmares came.
Yes, nightmares, because Axel could solemnly swear that they were not dreams.
Anything, that involved a seductive, alive, Misha, could not possibly be a dream.
He could even swear he knew how Eve must have felt when that serpent kept telling her to eat the apple as Misha kept trying to kiss him.
Kisses.....
Always leading to ones death, a very stupid thing to be honest.
Noona had outrightly told him that the only way his dreams would not come was if he slept next to Raven, but he hadn't seen Raven in a month so he was left to fend for himself the only way he knew how.
Which was staying awake, playing music and trying to let the good time overshadow the bad.
Sometimes, he even regretted leaving in the first place.
He could have stayed, convinced her that Briar was nothing more than a friend, that he really was an old male in a twenty two year old body that loved her more than he wanted to breathe.
But Axel also knew it was time to let her make decisions for herself, let her want him, let her CHOOSE.
He wasn't going to be like Misha.
Even though they was hard.
Everyday was hard.
The first time he had come into the hotel where Kyle was, under gawking eyes and whispers, he probably had not thought of the aftermath until he had slept off in Kyles body and woken up to Sasha's touch which jerked him up faster than lightning.
Reporters swarmed the building, it was all over the news, everyone wanted to know how and what and why he suddenly vanished from the earth.
There were even an Alien abduction series going on as Axel came back with black hair and a more pale skin due to the fact he was barely under the sun.
But all Axel really wanted was his best friend.
Kyle managed to keep the popularity out though, except Sasha of course, go had tried to explain the damage his disappearance has caused and how he made her worry, even pulling the 'I never expected that from you, from Kyle, yes, but not you' card.
Kyle had been mildly offended by the way.
The only problem was when everybody asked, he refused, strongly, to explain where or why he was gone for two weeks.
The alien abduction story waxed stronger for that reply.
Whatever the thing was, Axel just didn't explain, not even to Kyle, although the male didn't ask, he just seemed simply happy the fact that he was back, unlike everyone which Axel was grateful for.
But honestly....
He'd rather be with Ravenna all day.
"How much I am worth?" Axel had asked Kyle one day when they were both watching some show Kyle was intent on making Axel watch even though he barely cared the slightest.
"I don't know" Kyle said with his famous eye roll "Do I look like your secretary?"
"You were"
"Yes, I had to resign because unlike all the love stories I've ever read, you didn't fall in love with me"
"Can you help me find out?"
"No"
"Ky"
"Nope"
"Okay"
"... God, I hate you"
Kyle had gone and asked Sasha about his networth which Sasha had at first not wanted to say till she heard Axel demand for it and told them.
A hundred and fifty million.
Well.....
"That's enough to help the whole Africa" Kyle had replied, slipping back into the blanket next to Axel.
Axel sighed "I guess so"
But he didn't want it anymore.
Music.... Had been the piece of heaven he felt after he had lost Misha, because he had been so alone.... The fact people still looked at him, admired his work even as they used to back at home, filled his soul with peace.
But what did he want with that sort of peace when he had found heaven herself?
"What do you mean your last show?" Sasha had demanded when he had brought it up "You can't be serious. You can't make demands like this"
Axel sighed, resting back in the sofa "I don't want to play for the world anymore"
"Why?"
"I played for someone I loved.... And her silence, the fact she listened, felt way more better than the millions that give me entourages Sasha. If I ever keep on playing, the fact I could have more, that one person could give me more, would drive me insane. So please, arrange something for me that would end my contract with that company, thank the Lord we're already up to the three years deal"
Sasha had yelled some obscenities and left.
"Bitch" Kyle had snapped after that even though Axel could swear they both acted alike alot.
After the news went out that Axel North had suddenly decided to end his tour, and possibly never play again, the sales for his last concert were technically the most sold he had ever had.
Or anyone would ever have.
It kept skyrocketing everyday, and whatever loss Sasha had been whining about, was fixed immediately.
And so was his networth.
After this, he was also planning to leave with Kyle to somewhere secluded, somewhere no one would disturb them....
Somewhere he hoped he wouldn't have to keep smelling or hearing her.
Because he did.
When he was at the theater, rehearsing, he could smell her, hear her thoughts.....
And not once did she think of him.
On everything that wasn't him actually.
So after a while, he stopped trying to read her thoughts.
And today.....
As he played for the last time, in the hall, the orchestras playing in the background, he imagined her sitted next to him again, her scent wafting into his ears, her touch on him....
Her red eyes staring at him with such meekness....
He struck every key with elegance, with precision....
I am playing this for you Raven. This is all for you.
And when he was done, he stayed in the world of having her next to him, having keep his chaotic world sane when the sounds of people clapping jolted him back to reality.
He stood up, smiling at the crowd, as some threw flowers at the stage, others blowing kisses as he waved a bit before walking away to the backstage.
Of course, he could see a certain high numbe of reporters trying to get a response, anything from him though some security guards blocked the way until he got into the changing room and Sasha walked in.
Somehow, Axel had managed to not be in the same room with Sasha alone ever since his arrival....
But karma was such a bastard after all.
He stood from the chair, turning around to meet her "Sasha, you looked...."
Before he could complete his sentence, she was on him, kissing him with so much ferocity that he almost snapped her hand in two trying to get her away.
Her nails dug into his skin as she tried to keep him steady and him, being too afraid that he would hurt her try to get her off him as gently as possible.
Which wasn't working by the way.
"Sash... St..." He tried to get in between the kiss until he smelled it.
Smelled her.
"I'd appreciate if you stop tongue fucking my husband"
That made Sasha, thankfully, leave him alone as they both turned to the direction of the voice.
Axel had never felt his heart scream as it did now.
Raven was on a black evening dress that seemed to dazzle like diamonds and black gloves....
And....
Her stomach....
His... Baby...
"Who the fuck are you?" Sasha snapped.
Raven smiled sweetly at her, so sweetly Axel actually began to fear for Sasha and walked up to Axel, wrapping her arms around his "The two week disappearance thing. Didn't he tell you? The reason he was gone was because we were getting married. Yes, it must be shocking of course, but as you can see, I am heavily pregnant for this darling man and we just needed to tie the knots and have our honeymoon, of course I know it's hard to accept this but take a look"
Then much to Axel's amazement...
Raven raised her hair up, revealing the mark of his name under her neck "I even got a tattoo of his name"
If there was anything that could compare to Sasha's angry face right now....
It'd be an atomic bomb.
"You..! You...!"
"Sleep" Axel said, the female dropping a second after that.
Raven pouted "You used influence on her"
He chuckled "I was afraid she was going to explode my love"
"I've missed that.... You calling me that"
"I know"
Then he kissed her, slow at first, because he just needed to taste her, believe and know she was not in his imaginations that when he pulled away, she still was.
And she was.
"Can you both stop being so disgusting?"
They turned, meeting a pissed Kyle "Rin and I have been waiting years for you both to get your ass so we can go"
"We?" Axel asked.
"He's coming to the Pack with us" Raven simply replied.
"Does he....?"
"No"
"But I want to know" Kyle cut in "You owe me explanations mate, and there's no way in hell you'd vanish again and leave me in the claws of that fake ass witch"
Ravens eyes flashed red "Did he just call you mate?"
Axel smiled and kissed her head "All just a metaphor love and I'm glad you're coming with us Kyle"
"Shut up, and let's go, thank you"
