AN: A short, dirty little AkuRoku piece. It was clamouring to be written, so here it is. Prompt 68 - "Hero".

Their lips clashed as fiercely as their weapons had done only moments earlier. Gloves were torn off, zips wrenched undone to reveal pale skin that almost gleamed in the dim light. Fingernails dragged along the redhead's back, leaving raised marks, then dug in sharply as the blond let out a cry. Blood trickled slowly from crescent shaped cuts, but neither of them cared. They could feel it, both the pain and the sex, and that meant everything was worth it.

The redhead, Axel, thrust deeply into the blond, Roxas, who howled and clawed at anything within reach. Yes, it hurt, but that didn't matter. It was rough, brutal, animalistic sex, but it was exactly what they needed. Nobodies such as them were not meant to feel anything, so why was this so addictive? They couldn't explain it, didn't want to.

Breaking the kiss, their eyes met in a brief moment of tenderness, before realising all over again exactly who and what they were.

"I'm not the other half of your soul. I can't be a hero for you, Rox, not like he can."

"That's ok. I don't want you to be."

Two more sharp thrusts, and they were crying out for a final time. Once they parted, though, both bleeding from the deep scratches they'd inflicted on each other, that was it. They simply stepped through separate portals and left the room. They'd be back, before long. The sex was like a drug, and they were hooked.

AN: I'm not really happy with this piece. But I can't see what else to do with it. I was in a very weird headspace when I wrote this, hence why it's so dark.
