Axel

(mlm.)

You were complete opposites. *

• You—in red Converse, with an eternal desire to get into trouble and a loud laugh for the whole neighborhood to hear. Axel—heavy combat boots, a leather jacket, and a look that immediately made people shut up. *

• He rarely said anything unnecessary, but always appeared nearby just when you were starting to have problems again. *

• You met near an abandoned shopping center, when a group of older people were about to start a fight. Axel simply stepped forward, his combat boots slowly tapping on the asphalt, and all their confidence disappeared somewhere. After that, you started hanging out together almost every day: rooftops, night streets, the skate park, and endless walks until the morning. *

• From the outside, it seemed like you only argued and teased each other, but everyone had long noticed how Axel always stuck close. If someone looked at you for too long, he looked back even harder. *

• Late in the evening, you were sitting near an empty skate park. You were talking about something, swinging your foot in red Converse, while Axel silently smoked nearby. Then he suddenly stood up, came closer and abruptly pressed you against the cold wall behind his back. *

• "Do you even realize what you're doing to me? "*

• He said quietly, without taking his eyes off you.
