"No Axel! I can't do this!"

I squeaked; tears brimming my eyes.

He intertwined his fingers in mine smiling softly. Gosh I was pregnant again.

"Baby go ahead.It's okay."

My hands trembled and so did the torture machine in my grip. I was so terrified of messing up and damaging the boy's skin.

"B...But I don't have any experience."I objected earning Gary's attention.

Gary was the artist who was letting me do this. At first I thought that he was a ferocious bear but it turned out that he was a big fluffy teddy.

"Nobody has experience."He said smiling big his eyes glistening.

This was the first item on Axe Body Spray's list. That I of all people gave him a tattoo.

He was sitting right there on the chair waiting eagerly for me to damage his gorgeous skin.

The disinfectant was already evaporating so it was either now or never.

I picked a clear part of his skin and found a clear spot right below his left rib.

I sighed heavily before switching on the tattoo thing feeling it's vibration in my hands.

I held onto it for dear life.

He wanted something that I thought was unique and I wasn't sure at first.

But when the needle touched his skin, I knew exactly what to do.

His skin rippled under my touch and he just stayed so calm. I was scared by the calmness at the same time comforted by it.

"See?You're doing great cupcake."He said grinning.

My nerves started to calm as the ink marked his skin with my signature.

………..later……..

I squealed as he picked me up.

He spun me around excitedly and I too was excited.

He smiled widely his dimples showing again and we all knew what happened when his dimples showed.

His lips crashed into mine as he put me down pulling me closer to him.

I smiled against his lips cupping his cheek.

He continued the kiss pecking me countless times and I giggled happily.

"You're. So. Amazing."He said in between kisses.

We turned back to the human sized mirror and we admired the gorgeous image on Axel body spray.

I was actually really proud of it. It was literally written 'my bag' decorated with roses.

I turned back to him wrapping my arms around his neck.

"This is perfect." He said touching his forehead to mine.

I blushed awkwardly before kissing him slowly, savouring his amazing plump lips.

He let go staring deep into my eyes parting his lips to speak but before any of that happened he lost his balance.

I held onto his arm bracing him. I pursed my lips worriedly but understanding what was going on.

"I'm- I'm okay."He said trailing off.

I helped him sit down.

He pinched the brigde in his nose closing his eyes.

"I'm a little light headed that's all."He explained but I still worried about him anyway.

I took his hand and crouched down in front of him kissing his knuckles.

"That's okay. I understand."I said trying to calm him

My heart dropped at his state. I forgot that he was dying, he was just really good at hiding it which I hated.

"I had something planned for tonight."He said sighing.

He opened his eyes and focused them on me.

I wanted to know everything that was going on just so I could hold on a little while.

I didn't want to lose Axel.

"It's okay we'll reschedule." I answered after a while.

"No, we might not have enough time Chloe."

I hated that. I hated that phrase. I hated time; in fact I resented it.

"Chloe it's okay." He said sighing.

"No, it's not okay. You should rest."I replied slowly getting up and getting an idea.

"Let me get a tattoo."I suggested catching him off guard.

He raised an eyebrow and smirked.

"Really?"He asked.

I nodded sure of my answer. "How bad could it possibly be?"

…..30 minutes later……

"Fuck!"I cursed out loud gritting my teeth.

The pain just dug deeper into my flesh.

"Fuck!Fuck!Fuuuuck!!!Axeeeel!"I screamed with my eyes shut tight.

The pain was immense, intense and absolutely excruciating.

"This is what you wanted isn't it?"Axel asked stifling a laugh.

People always used to brag about how fun getting ink etched into your skin was.

This wasn't fun in the slightest.

It felt as if a billion wasps were stinging me mercilessly and it had only been five minutes.

Gary was definitely enjoying this. Scarring people's skin and adding ink was his favorite thing in the world.

There he was towering over me smiling crookedly.

I didn't even know what the heck he was putting on.

God please don't let it be a smurf.

"Owww. Ow!"

"I'm almost done Miss." He had a suspicious southern accent almost as if he were from Florida.

Mayhaps he was from Florida and here in disguise.

I held onto Axel's hand for dear life and he looked just about near to pass out on me.

My grip was tight and I bet it was like one of those of women in labor.

Well this was laborous, I was sweating like a pig!

Wait….pigs didn't sweat.

So, maybe sweating like a sloppy Joe?

"Done!"Gary announced but my skin still stung.

I picked up my wrist slowly up turning it to see the most beautiful thing ever.

I was brought to tears at the tattoo.

It was a cupcake with my cupcake written wrapping around it.

"It's so beautiful." I said choking on my tears.

I hugged Axe and he returned it burying his head into my neck.

"My mom's gonna kill me."I said making him laugh.

I laughed ahead getting up from my seat.

"Thanks Gary! You're amazing!"I said waving at the red head who was standing behind the counter scrolling through his portfolios.

He returned my wave and smiles.

To be honest he kinda looked like Post Malone.

"Anytime Miss!"

Axel was ready to take out his credit card and Gary saw it.

"Don't worry about paying me."he started.

"No, you did a great job." Axel argued.

"Dude, I make too much for my job. Plus you two are a cute couple.It's on the house."He said and I blushed looking up at Axe before focusing on my shoes.

"Alright.Thanks."Axel said finally and we left the building.

As soon as we got out, the cold air whipped our faces.

"Dang, why is it so cold?"Axe asked.

I shrugged clueless.

Axe got onto the motorcycle first and I joined giggling and holding on to his waist.

"Where to?"I asked smiling mischeviously.

"Somewhere special."He said finally.

Mkay boo.

………...later…….

I held onto my ice cream for dear life as Axe Body Spray led me through the dark park.

Well it seemed like my assumptions about him plotting to murder me were coming true.

This was pretty much a forest with literally no people in it so it was a perfect place for him to kill me and get rid of my body.

Another thing was that there were so many bugs that we're buzzing around us and I personally hated bugs; especially mosquitoes.

I held onto Axel's biceps and quite frankly I kinda didn't mind the muscliness.

"Okay cupcake. We're almost…"

He trailed off and then he left to run into another direction disappearing in the darkness.

"Axel?!"I yelled terrified.

It was way too dark down here. He knew that I was scared of the dark.

I slept with a nightlight on for goshness sake!

My heart beat super fast and my breathing became harsh.

"Axel?!"I called receiving no response.

What the fuck was going on here?

He left me!

I shivered from the cold regretting not wearing a jacket tonight.

I looked around frantically trembling in my spot.

"Ax-"

I stopped in my tracks as light beamed around me.

I was in the middle of a circle of lanterns hanging on poles decorated with fairylights.

In awe I turned around multiple times letting the beauty of this sink in.

Music started playing and it sounded like You are the Reason by Callum Scott.

I wasn't exactly sure what exactly this was that was until I saw Axe Body Spray approach me.

He was wearing a suit for some reason and he looked hot not that I was complaining.

He smiled that terrifying smile; his dimples impregnating me once again.

"Axe, what is this?"I asked out of breath.

He cupped my cheek kissing my neck before getting down on one knee.

My heartbeat faster than a drum at a rock concert.

"Axe, what's going on?"

He looked up at me flashing me that smile of his.

"Chloe. I-This year has been the best of my life...and. I'm bad at this."

A tear dropped and I whiped it away quickly holding his hands.

"Could you please do me the honor of going to the Glitter Ball with me?"

I squealed excitedly and jumped in one spot.

"Yes!Yes!Yes!"I said jumping onto him peppering him with kisses.

He laughed happily before flipping me over.

I wrapped my legs around him, kissing him deeply.

He laughed breaking off the kiss and rolling off me to lay on the grass.

…. Later(bc I'm so fucking lazy)

We fed each other strawberries covered in chocolate. 

It tasted so good and damn Axel's lips were so voluptuous.

This was probably the best day of my life.

We were ourselves with no one to interrupt us.

Axel's wig was off and I continuously played with his head feeling the now growing scruff of hair.

I guess that without all the chemo; it was helping his hair grow and dang the boy had a healthy scalp.

We were alone, away from all the chaos and most importantly I was with him admiring the stars.

This moment was perfect, nothing could ruin it.

But that was short-lived as my phone vibrated on my butt.

"Aren't you going to pick it up?"Axe asked and I rolledy eyes putting his hand in mine.

"Nah, it's probably just Xanny texting me to tell me about a new BTS song or something."I said shrugging it off.

"Okay, but it could be important."he said drawing circles on my hand.

I sighed letting the vibrations pass but they were repetetive.

"You play with em balls like it's zifa!"

My heart rate spiked and I fumbled with my phone quickly answering the phone.

"What the heck?Mia Khalifa?"Axel asked catching me off guard.

"Shhhh..I'll expla-How do you know Mia Khalifa?"

I swiped left seeing that it was Simon calling.

"Xann-"I was cut off by sobbing and my heart sank.

"Chloe?I-I need your help."His voice was trembling and I got up quickly.

"Simon?What's wrong."I asked scared at this point.

"P-Plea-Please don't come home."He begged.

"O-Okay.Okay-" I was cut off by the line cutting.

What?What was happening?

"Chloe what's wrong?"Axel asked wrapping an arm around me kissing my cheek.

I wiggled out of his hold.

"Something's up with Xanny. I think he's in trouble."
