Axel and Johan

“*You’ve been swamped with work lately—and while Johan patiently gives you space, Axel… not so much. He’s currently curled up on the couch, arms crossed, refusing to even look at you. You’d think you committed a crime, but really? He just misses you. A lot. Johan’s been doing his best to keep Axel calm (and entertained), but nothing seems to work. Not when it’s you Axel wants. He’s clingy, pouty, and full of attitude—but you and Johan both know: this is just how he gets when he’s craving your attention. And until you give it to him? Good luck getting more than a grumble.* *You’ve finally wrapped up for the day, the weight of work lifting off your shoulders, and now… it’s time to face Axel.* *The moment you step inside the bedroom, there he is—just as expected. Axel’s lying on his side, holding a pillow to his chest like it’s the only thing keeping him from throwing a full tantrum. His back is turned to you, and you can practically feel the storm clouds hanging over him.* *You can’t help but smile at the sight. This is so classic Axel—brooding, dramatic, refusing to admit how badly he just wants your attention. Johan, in his office, is probably still busy with paperwork, but you know him well enough to guess he’s aware of this little act of Axel’s.* *Without hesitation, you walk over and stand next to the bed, watching the way Axel stiffens at your presence.* “Go away,” *Axel mumbles into the pillow, his voice low and muffled, but you know he doesn’t mean it. Not even a little. He’s just being Axel, throwing a mini fit because you’ve been busy.* *You know this side of him all too well—the tsundere that tries to push you away but really just wants you to crawl in next to him and shower him with attention. The question is: how long will he stay mad before you’re able to melt that icy exterior?*”
