How had this happened? he thought to himself. He was lying on the ground. Then, he heard a familiar voice, but he couldn't quite place who it was. "Axel?" the voice said, "Axel, please.."
He woke up with a start. His heart was racing, Just a another dream, he sighed. Then he let out a yawn. The spiky haired redhead rubbed his brilliant green eyes then looked at the alarm clock. 13:08. Said redhead wondered why it was on military time. Demyx, he thought. He chuckled to himself, shaking the dream that had just woken him up startled. What was that about? he wondered. He shook it off again and got up.
He made his way across the small apartment he shared with his friends. It's quiet, he thought, too quiet. He apprehensively walked into the living room. He suddenly turned around quickly, expecting one of his roommates to jump up behind him. But, they hadn't. Odd.
He turned back around and he was met by one of his roommates. Demyx, a tall blonde with ocean colored blue-green eyes that were filled with happiness. His dirty blonde hair had a mullet-like style with several individual bangs that fall over his face. To most it was a very odd, to Axel it was Demyx. And Demyx was his boyfriend. The redhead jumped slightly, surprised. "Oh God! Demyx!".
The blonde gave his signature smile, "Hey Sleepyhead. Got 'cha again."
Recovering from the surprise, Axel sat on the couch in said living room and sighed. "So, is Zexion home?"
The blonde sat next to Axel and calmly said, "Zexy's at the bookstore. He said he'd be back soon. He expected to be back before you got up," Axel scoffed. Demyx let out a small giggle, "So you hungry?"
The redhead nodded. Demyx went into the kitchen which was attached to the living room.
Both rooms were brightly colored and coordinated. The living room consisted of a large red leather couch, a coffee table, A flat-screen Tv on the wall across from the couch, and a love seat that matched the couch. The kitchen was a normal kitchen, it was blue and ocean themed, which made Demyx happy, because he loved the ocean.
Demyx made the redhead waffles in the small toaster oven and handed him some orange juice. Axel loved it when Demyx made him waffles. He didn't know why, it was just one of those things he loved about Demyx. Then, a shorter, blue slate haired teen walked through the door. He had bright aqua eyes, although you could only see one because of the long bangs that covered the left side of his face. He held a book in his right hand. He was a mysterious person, no one had him totally figured out yet. He had the tendencies to be very sarcastic and generally emo.
"Oh look, you're up", he said in a slightly sarcastic tone.
"Nice to see you too, Sexy Zexy" Axel said in a playful tone. He had a smirk on his face, as usual.
"Don't call me that Axel," he scowled. Axel looked up, then resumed eating his waffles. "Demyx, has the mail come yet?" He faced the blonde.
"Um, not yet. Why Zexy?" Demyx said innocently.
"I'm waiting for a poster to come." He looked around the room, as he did so often.
"Of what?" Demyx asked.
Axel smirked again, "Isn't it obvious? You know its a pin-up of-" Axel was stopped by Zexion's glare.
"Finish that sentence, and I'll kill you." Axel laughed. "It's just a poster of-" just then Zexion was stopped by a noise in the hall. It sounded like something falling.
"Sounds like a body" Demyx pointed out half serious, half jokingly. Zexion nodded. Axel, who at this time had finished his 'Demy waffles', sat up.
"I'll check it out." he said. He felt a hand on his arm. "Be careful, Axel." Demyx said sounding suddenly and uncharacteristically concerned. "I will Dem" Axel said, and gave the blonde a peck on the cheek. Demyx gave a small squee and Axel walked out the door.
Axel looked through the small, dim hallway. He went all the way down the hall way and quickly found the source of the sound.
There in the middle of the hall was a young, spiky haired blonde teen. He appeared to be on his knees and looked like he had tripped. But what made Axel concerned was that he hadn't gotten up yet. He walked closer to the blonde on the floor holding his side. He bent over to see if said blonde was okay. "Hey, hey Blondie! Hey you okay?" He could tell that the teen was slightly awake, which was good. But what had happened to him? The blonde tried to move slightly, which assured Axel the kid was okay. But it seemed that he was in too much pain to move.
The redhead decided that it was stupid to just leave the kid, so he picked him up and brought him to his room. He walked back up, carrying the boy, the hall to the spot he had just come from. When he got to his door, he kicked it several times, to tell Demyx or Zexion to open the door. Ugh, just open the freakin' door already! Axel thought.
"Dem, open the door!" he said knocking on the door with his knee, making sure not to drop the boy. The door opened and behind it was a surprised Zexion. Demyx looked out the door with an equally surprised look on his face.
"Axel, um what, er, who is that?' Zexion said in his usual emotionless voice.
Axel plopped the blonde on the couch, lightly. The teen moved his hand to his hand back on top of his ribs, still wincing in pain.
"I found him in the middle of the hall," Axel began. "He was just sprawled out there. I couldn't just leave him there, could I?"
Demyx nodded. "He looks hurt."
"Zex, can you see what's up with the kid?" Axel asked. Zexion was intrigued by Axel's concern.
"I guess." Zexion bent over to the couch where the blonde was lying. He carefully inspected him with out moving the teen. He sighed.
"Looks like our little friend here hurt himself pretty bad. But I can't exactly tell what's wrong until he wakes up. Or with out moving him. Which I fear may hurt him either way." he concluded.
Demyx hugged Axel tightly knowing that Axel was puzzled. Axel returned the hug and Demyx put his head on the redhead's shoulder. Zexion rolled his eyes.
"So what can we do?" Demyx asked.
"Just wait" Zexion replied. Axel stayed quiet, eyes on the boy on his couch. His eyes went back up to Demyx's which gave him a look of 'It'll be okay, you'll see'. He was glad that his boyfriend was there. He didn't know why, but he was concerned for the stranger, feeling something compel him to stay with this boy.
Demyx and Zexion both understood this. They'd been living together with the redhead since freshman year of college when they all had to dorm together. After college they decided to get an apartment together. This was however mostly Demyx's idea, but the other two went along with it.
It'd been about 15 minutes since Axel brought the blonde teen into the room. And all of a sudden, he started to move. He groaned softly. All three leaned in closer to the boy. His eyes opened revealing beautiful, deep crystal blue eyes. "Ugh...w-where am I?" The blonde rubbed his head, still keeping a hand on his chest. "So, you're awake?" Axel said nicely. The blonde attempted to sit up, but held his hand tighter to the side of his chest where it had been. And slumped back down.
"Sit back" a calm voice came from Zexion, "Now, Let's see if I can tell what's wrong with you." Zexion had been examining the boy the whole time seeing what movements triggered pain and so on. Now he could actually see and confirm or disprove his suspicions. "If you could, please move your hand" The blonde's eyes quickly moved to Zexion. He shook his head. "Please I can't help you unless I see what's wrong." Zexion was extremely good at any sort of situation that required quick thinking and calm reactions.
The blonde still refused to move his hand. "Hey Blondie, just move your hand. We want to help. If we weren't here to help you, would I have gotten you off the hall floor?" Axel said, giving the blonde a reassuring smile. Demyx nodded and his eyes gave the look of 'Hey listen to them. They know what's up'
The blonde reluctantly moved his hand off his chest revealing something that shocked all of them.
Where his hand had been was a significantly large,fresh blood stain. The 'Oh shit' look was now on all of their faces. Zexion broke through that initial shock and asked, "Can you take off your shirt, I need to see how big this gash is." The blonde nodded, receiving help from Zexion to take off his shirt, finally convinced they would help.
Zexion wasn't at all shocked at the gash, which was actually pretty large and bleeding. "Axel, give me your shirt and get your keys. We have to take him to the hospital because he's bleeding like crazy." Axel took off his dingy old class shirt from when they were still in college, gave it to Zexion, then ran to his room to get his keys. Zexion put the shirt on the bleeding gash and tied it tightly.
"Dem, I need you to get a towel. We need to see if we can stop this bleeding." Demyx ran to get that. Zexion thought 'How have you not passed out yet? You're bleeding terribly. This must have just happened. Hmmm. Axel, for once you're timing was probably the best it could have been'
The blonde boy then started to close his eyes, and Zexion realized that he was in fact right with what his previous thoughts.
Demyx arrived first with with a towel, which Zexion swapped for Axel's old shirt. He made sure it was tightly tied around the blonde. Axel came running in with the keys and tossed them to Zexion.
"We have to go!" Axel and Demyx nodded. The redhead then picked up the teen and they all left to go to the car.
Zexion drove with Demyx in the front and Axel and the blonde in the back. The whole way there Axel thought 'Hang on. We'll be there soon. Stay alive. Please don't die on us.' Demyx had similar thoughts and as usual his eyes expressed it as he looked behind him.
Axel and Demyx paced the halls together, while Zexion sat in a chair outside the room. For someone they had just met, they all had become pretty concerned. None of them knew why, but they all went along with the feeling.
Out of the room came an slender, curvy nurse. Her name was Larxene. She had short blonde hair, with two antenna-like pieces slicked back behind her head. They'd know her since high school, having her in several of their classes. She was very sarcastic and it made one wonder why she would become a nurse, one who helps people. They all thought that it was probably because she liked to see people hurt. "Well, he'll be fine." she said bluntly.
Their faces brightened, except for Zexion, who remained his calm, almost cold self . He asked "So, do you know what caused his injury?"
She looked at Zexion whose head was down as it usually was, "It could be a number of things, but I'm sure you know that already." She said in a very sarcastic tone. "We're not sure if this was a self inflicted injury, or if someone had caused this. Any ways, it obviously wasn't an accident, not something you'd get from falling in a hall."
He raised his head surprised. Axel and Demyx looked over to Larxene with more surprise.
"It was skillfully and intentionally done. Whoever did it is quite handy with a blade. Not like this kid."she pointed to Demyx who looked down, she immediately got a death glare from Axel. She let out a small chuckle remembering biology class where Demyx couldn't dissect his frog because he wasn't good with knives. She obviously knew what she'd been talking about though. She was always a good shot with throwing knives and made precision cuts when ever she used a blade. "He's 'prolly still sleeping, you can go in. That is if you wanna be amazed at his ability to sleep." She went to walk away, to 'tend' to another patient.
"Wait, Larxene I need to talk to you" Zexion said. Axel and Demyx looked at Zexion, who nodded, before they entered the boy's room. Larxene walked back to Zexion.
Once Axel and Demyx were in the room and out of earshot, Larxene closed the door. "What do you want Zex?" Zexion looked at her. "What do you know about this boy? C'mon Larxene I know you know something." She looked back at him, and raised her eyebrows. She began to tell him, "His name is Roxas. He goes to our old high school, where he is a junior." Zexion listened intently as she continued. "He has a large cut on his side and chest. Although you knew that bookworm." Zexion gave her a dirty look, which triggered a classic Larxene giggle. "Any way, it is a very recent cut and was actually pretty bad. Though he'll be out of here tomorrow. He is a remarkably quick healer." Zexion looked up, "Listen, Larxene I know this. What I want to know is how did Roxas get that cut? You mentioned how it was done on purpose. What do you think happened?" She sighed. "Like I said, it could either be self inflicted, like those cuts on you wrists" she looked at Zexion's wrists that were covered by long sleeves and rubber bracelets for various bands.
She was probably the only one who knew about Zexion's wrists. And the only reason she knew was because she'd noticed back in high school when Zexion wasn't looking. Zexion pulled his sleeves down further, making sure no one else would see them. Larxene looked back up to Zexion's face, "Or it could have been caused by some one or something. He could have been cut by like broken glass or something that came flying at him. Although I doubt that. It could be something where someone did this to him." Zexion looked at Larxene seriously. "Larxene, I know about your vast knowledge of weapons and injuries. So I want to know: What do you think happened? You personally. How do you think this happened?" Larxene finally put a serious look on her face and said, "Zex, I honestly think that someone hurt this kid. I don't know who, but they knew what they were doing. They seemed to know where to injure a person in a spot where it would not necessarily kill them at first. Zex, I don't know if this was a random attack, or if Blondie here has some enemies. I honestly can't tell you for sure."
Zexion thanked her. Then walked toward the door to Roxas' room. "Zexy" he stopped slightly annoyed and confused. "Be careful, I don't want you getting hurt again. Especially over someone you don't know." He looked surprised to hear these words come from Larxene's mouth. She caught herself and returned to her cold sarcastic ways. "'Cause if you did get hurt, I'd have to be the one who has to take car of you. And right now, I don't want to see one of my high school friends in that kind of condition. And besides it'd just make more work for me." She laughed, and walked back down the hall.
Zexion was still surprised by what she'd said. He stood there a minute to collect himself and analyze the data he'd just received.
A/n: Wow. And it only gets crazier from here on in. Can't exactly say if it will still be AkuDemy or if it will shift to something else :D you shall find out eventually.
