Can I have hcs for reader in a poly relationship with Axel and Roxas? Or maybe you think Roxas is too young for something like this? In that case I totally understand, you only have to write things you're comfortable with :)

Notes: Hello! Yes, I do write poly with AkuRoku, I ship it super hard. I always age Roxas up in situations like this, and I will mainly write him in modern!AU to keep from screwing up the timeline. I actually have a lot to say on the whole subject of properly aging your characters up and whether or not you should or should not keep them canon, but that’s a topic for another time. For now, please enjoy this set! (Also this is a long one, PLEASE ENJOY!)

How you met:

When you first met Axel and Roxas, they had already been dating for a year, and it showed.

These two dorks would push and pull at each other, making sarcastic, almost rude comments.

At first, you thought they were brothers, then you saw them holding hands one day.

‘Okay,’ you thought to yourself. ‘Sometimes brothers hold hands.’

Alas, you were quite wrong when Axel leaned down to kiss Roxas full on the mouth, while Roxas held onto him by the collar.

‘Nope, definitely not brothers.’

And yet you couldn’t stop yourself from wanting in the middle of that sandwich.

It didn’t take long for the two of them to notice you, or rather for Axel to notice you and start teasing you about always being where they were.

You quickly all became friends, eating ice cream on the clock tower together while the two cuddled, you felt a bit like the odd one out.

How you got together:

The three of you had been hanging out on the clocktower like usual, chatting about nothing when Roxas and Axel decided to bear down on you with some very unusual questions.

“Hey [Y/N], are you dating anyone?”

“Wh-what?”

“What Roxas means is that you’re always free to hang out and we never see you with anyone but us,” Axel stated as if it was it was the most obvious thing.

“I-”

“Easier question,” Roxas said. “Do you like anyone?”

“I’m more offended that you don’t think I have any other friends!”

The three of you laugh at this for a good minute, before things get serious again.

“But really, do you like anyone?”

Your face is as red as the sunset, you couldn’t tell them that you liked them, that would be so weird and possibly ruin your friendship, so instead, you decide to give them a vague answer.

“Actually, I like two people.”

Bad choice [Y/N].

“Oh?”

“Y-yeah?”

“Who?”

“No one you two know.”

The two were excited after hearing that their friend had not one- but two crushes. Even if they didn’t know the people, they wanted to know everything, how they walked, talked, why you liked them, how you met, what you thought of them, what effect they had on you, how long you knew them. EVERYTHING.

It wasn’t until a week later that you finally gave into their pestering.

“Okay! Okay! Stop already, I’ll tell you! Just don’t be mad.”

You were on the Clocktower again, and it was like keeping puppies in a bathtub trying not to tell them any chance you got.

But now was the perfect time, just the three of you, sea-salt ice cream, and the sunset.

“I like you, Axel-”

“YOU LIKE AXEL?” Roxas shouted.

“LET ME FINISH!” You smacked Roxas’s arm playfully.

“And I like you, Roxas.”

You all sat in an uncomfortable silence for a while, it was the first time that you truly felt like you wished you had never become friends with them in the first place. However, your fears were put to rest after Roxas put a hand on your shoulder, bringing you back to reality.

“Don’t freak out, we like you too.”

You were so taken aback that you almost fell off the clocktower completely, luckily, you didn’t.

“Wh-what?”

“Yeah, we’ve been talking about it when you weren’t here, we like you, as more than a friend and if it’s cool, we’d like to-”

“DO MORE THAN JUST SIT HERE AND EAT FREAKING ICE CREAM!” Axel interjects loudly.

Roxas shoots a glare at Axel.

You burst out laughing. They really had been thinking about this.

All of you begin laughing and joking as Roxas tries to grab Axel’s ice cream, saying that if he hated sitting around eating it so much that he should hand it over.

Dating Axel and Roxas:

Things start out slow between the three of you, you’re not used to dating two guys at once and for most of your life you had been taught that it was cheating, so you had to ease your way into it.

Axel and Roxas apparently had a few other people that they had dated before you, but they don’t mention them if you don’t want to. They do however try their best to explain the ins and outs of polyamorous dating, which you learn is the name for it.

Things like how Axel and Roxas are primary partners, meaning that their relationship comes first for them, and your relationship is secondary, but not any less important to them.

Also that your relationship between the three of you is special and even though people around you may not understand or comprehend it, it doesn’t make it any less valid.

Another thing you learned is that polyamory is not polygamy. Something you didn’t know before and were actually quite happy to know.

Aside from the learning aspect of your relationship, lots of little things were discussed.

Like how Axel does get jealous on occasion, but it can be easily managed by scheduling everyone’s time wisely.

You all decided to have every three days (Sunday, Wednesday/Monday, Thursday/Tuesday, Friday) be your set schedules, while Saturday was the day that you all three had together. (A better explanation would be Axel and Roxas are in the same room the first day then it’s Axel and you, then Roxas and you, then it goes again, and finally, you have the all together day.)

For your shared night the three of you would either have a stay in movie night or go out and eat sea-salt ice cream on the clock tower and then come home and play video games.

You quickly learned that these two are homebodies and would even work from home given the chance.

Food is never a problem, mostly because of Axel’s inability to stay out of the grocery store whenever he passes it, but also because Roxas has a hidden talent for baking.

Speaking of hidden talents, did I mention the two are musically blessed?

I didn’t?

Well now I have, Roxas will sing in the shower, while baking, while taking a poop, you name it, he’s singing while doing it.

Axel, on the other hand, is not quite so gifted, think Fiona in Shrek where she kills a bird with her voice. Not that it’s lack of trying, it’s more, the lack of being able to hear past your own hair. Yet somehow he can play the keyboard that is tucked away in the corner of the living room all covered in dust.

You’ve heard them do a duet before, it was on your birthday, Axel pulled out the old keyboard, and Roxas sat next to him on the bench. They sang a love song that they had heard on the radio and you were in tears by the end of it.

That was also the night that you told them that you loved them.

And they told you right back, with just as much love.

You didn’t make it to the bedroom that night. ;)

These two are so dorky sometimes when they say that they love you, especially now that they’ve said it already. Axel will take things out of your reach and ask you for a peck on the cheek before giving it back. You’ll glare at him and Roxas will roll his eyes in the corner. Then you’ll give in and give him the peck on the peck on the cheek that he wanted so much before he said that you only put up with him because you love him.

“And what would give you the impression that I love you?”

You’ll say.

Axel will mock hurt and Roxas will roll his eyes, AGAIN, before telling Axel that he still loves him.

Roxas is actually worse when it comes to getting you to tell him that you love him.

He will jump on the bed, straddle you, and start tickling you until you say that you love him. Sometimes this can go on for 30 minutes or more because Axel will hear the giggling and join in.

Sleeping in the same bed is a mess! Tangled limbs, covers going every which way, people on top of each other, it’s like a hurricane of sweat and body parts.

Axel likes to be in the middle with both of you on either side unless you’re spooning in which case it goes Axel, Roxas, You and then you’ll occasionally all turn around.

After a while, you’ll realize that this relationship is meant to last and you won’t ever want to leave them. The three of you make each other very happy and you can’t imagine ever being anywhere but with these two goofballs.
