Go over my head
Why you gotta taint this night with your thought-out words
When you can tou-touch me instead?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The sound of a lighter, the flick and then the light of a flame. His long fingers caressing the cigarette, and the exhale of smoke from his slightly opened mouth. Axel slightly bruised fingers held the burning cigarette firmly between his fingertips, The moon filtered through the dark clouds and bathed his face in the moonlight. His rosy lips parted and let out another puff of the toxic smoke out in the cold night air. He hummed and let his thoughts pass as his gaze wandered out in the night sky. Yet another exhale of smoke and his thoughts were interrupted by the balcony door sliding open. Axel's attention switched to the now open glass door and the familiar figure in the doorway.

“You look great in this lighting” He felt the others seeking gaze behind him but chose to ignore it, another puff of smoke coming from his lips. He heard footsteps behind him and a warm presence behind him.

“Your lips are really pretty”
Axel turned around and the oh so familiar blue eyes met his own. Their bodies were close and he felt the others hot breaths on his skin. He traced his finger on Axel's exposed collarbones.

“you know its not healthy, so why do you do it?”

“It's calming”

he hummed, his eyes followed the others hand as it traced his collarbones, up to his shoulder, his neck, and to his chin which he gently grabbed and lifted his head up to loot at him. They made eye contact and he could feel his heartbeat speeding up in his chest. He took the cigarette from Axel's fingertips, inhaled the toxic smoke before placing it back between Axel’s lips and blew the smoke back into his lover's face. The others hand held lightly onto Axel's chin and lifted it up so their eyes met. The burning cigarette between Axel’s lips surrounded them in grey smoke and the bitter smell mixed with the addictive smell of Axel's cologne. The others hand gently grabbed his waist and leaned closer to him. He moved his fingers from Axel’s chin and held the cigarette with his fingertips.

“breathe in” Axel did as told and breathed in and the smoke filled his lungs, the other removed the cigarette from his lips and threw it on the ground before pushing Axel’s body up magainst the railing of the balcony. His hand held firmly onto Axel’s waist as other held Axel's face firmly in his hand. He could only stare into the others eyes as the hand slowly moved from his chin down to the back of his neck.

“Breathe out” He parted his lips and let out the smoke from his lungs. Axel’s hands grabbed onto the hood of the others hoodie and tugged on it.

“mhmm? what do you want?”

“You” Axel whispered under his breath before pulling harshly on the hoodie and closed the gap between them in a heartbeat. He kissed him back just as hard, his lips were warm against Axel’s, tasting faintly of mint and smoke. His fingers curled against the back of his neck slowly making their way up to Axel's hair. The others fingers tangled into his hair pulling him even closer before Axel groaned quietly, slowly breaking the kiss. The night air was chilly but none of them were cold, the only thing breaking the silence were the two men’s heavy breathing.

“oh god you drive me so insane”

The others voice was low and raspy and Axel felt his hot breath on his face as he spoke. They stared into eachothers eyes and the pace of their heavy breath synced up. The hands in Axel’s hair slowly moved down his neck and made its way down to his waist and held onto it firmly. He felt the others face get closer to him and he closed his eyes when he felt the hot breathe brush his ear. Axel felt himself tense up a bit before he melted into the others touch. He tightened his grip around Axel’s waist and started to slowly place kisses down his neck. He arched his back against the cold metal railing when the other stopped his trail of kisses to suck on axels pale skin leaving light bruises on his neck and throat. Axel’s breath hitched and let out a quiet whimper as the other stayed at the same spot for a bit longer than before.

His body felt hot and thoughts were driving him insane when the other touched him. He stopped at the neckline of Axel’s t-shirt and slowly moved his head and made eye contact with axel again. Before he could do anything else Axel grabbed him by the collar of his hoodie and dragged him to the bench out on the balcony, The other was caught off guard as Axel pushed him down on the bench and climbed on top of him straddling his lap.

“Do you understand what you’re doing to me?” He asked and Axel hummed back at him. The others slightly cold hands found their way to Axel's wasit, one hand slipping just beneath his shirt. Their lips met in a rush, they moved in sync, slow at first, then faster. more needy.

Their bodies aligned naturally like they'd done nothing but this before. The others hand moved up his shirt, axel let out a soft whimper, his fingertips grazing axels exposed skin under the shirt. Axel's hand held firmly into the brown locs of his lover as the kiss deepened, their tongues colliding and the pace of their breaths increased. The other hand traced the exposed waistband of Axel's boxers, their bodies moving in sync as the kiss got more heated by the second. Axel pulled on his lover's hair making him let out a quiet moan into the kiss and he could feel Axel smirking. He pulled on his hair again.

“ngghh fuck” The other groaned into the kiss, his hands roaming under axels shirt, tracing every part of him.

“God, you're so beautiful”

He spoke between kisses, trying to catch some air in the heat. He slightly shifted, buckling his hips up making Axel let out a muffled whimper into the other’s mouth. It was completely dark outside, the moonlight being the only source of light in the sky. Axel's hand moved from the other's hair and he wrapped his arms around his neck moving his hips down on his lover's lap. The other let out a choked moan, his hands moving to Axel's waist and gripped it firmly. Their bodies moved together in sync as their tongues explored each other like never before. The air was chill and it was quiet apart from their heavy breaths and occasional moans into the night air.

Axel and him.

only them.
