Enjoy The Silence
Axel Koi, a musician now living in California. He was the lead singer of My Fatal Kiss. A band he formed with his friend Riku Lyle and Riku's boyfriend Zexion Vice. Their band was of the hard rock genre, and that is what all of them preferred. They just recently became successful and bought a very nice three bedroom two story house. This way they wouldn't have to worry about whose house they would practice in. But, ever since they moved into their nice northern California home, Riku has just been acting strangely.
He was on his phone more often, and would sometimes mysteriously hide away from the other two band members while having concern written all along his face while in the midst of his conversations. When ever Axel questioned Riku's odd behavior, Zexion would defend Riku alongside him. This caused the red head to be very confused, but mostly curious. 'So, they both know something and don't bother sharing,' this hurt Axel more than it upset him. Mostly because in his thoughts he thought that the couple was going to ditch him.
But, that couldn't be what was going on, could it? No, what a silly thought. They just got this house not even two months ago. Something was up, either Riku was having family trouble or friend trouble. Yes that made perfect sense. You see, when Axel met Riku it was at a train station named 'No Where to go, but Here'. And they were waiting on the car in the same seat. So, as to not be rude Axel struck up a conversation. One subject led to another and it turned out Riku was an eighteen year old runaway. Well, technically it wasn't a case of a runaway since he was eighteen. But, usually kids will stay a little longer with their parents at least until they found a place to settle. That wasn't the case for Riku at all.
He was leaving his "family" for one really serious reason. Scratch that, a bunch of reasons that pooled into one serious problem. His father was an alcoholic, woman abuser, piece of shit child molester. And his mother was a defenseless drug abuser who simply ignored what his father did. Axel was fully intrigued by the silver haired man's story. He had a sudden feeling of encouragement from Riku's tale. So, obviously what ever was wrong with him must be revolved around his past. And the problem for Axel was, he only knew that part of Riku's past. He didn't get full details like Zexion did.
Axel felt worried for Riku, they have been friends for three years. The vocalist felt a need to be supportive of his friend. Even if he didn't have full details, he needed to be there. Axel stood lazily from the couch in his room. Deciding before he turn in for the night, to check on Riku. He walked out of his room and down the hall to Zexion and Riku's room. Sighing, he lightly beat his fist on the closed door. Waiting a few seconds while hearing shuffling feet before seeing Zexion's face in front of him.
Zexion lightly smiled at him and let him in. Axel returned the gesture as he walked into the room. Seeing Riku out on the balcony obviously having a conversation on his phone, again. The red head made his way to the couples desk and sat in the chair while Zexion returned to his side of the bed and started studying what seemed to be music sheets. Axel sat patiently feeling more worry as he listened to Riku's side of the conversation.
"What is wrong now?" silence. And then he heard a sigh from Riku, "I'm saving my money to come get you," more silence, "I promise you, I'm not going to leave you there any longer." Axel looked at Zexion in such a way as to question whom Riku was speaking with. Zexion just gave him a look that told him he shouldn't be concerned until Riku decides he needs to be. Axel just sighed nodded and returned his focus back on the man out on the balcony. "Don't act like that," he sounded muffled as he spoke into the phone.
As if on cue Zexion had the same revelation and stood from the bed. He was now leaning on the door frame of the balcony, looking as if he was contemplating what else to do. He huffed and stepped forward now not even two feet away from the other band member. "I promise, I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm going to take you away from there. Just…please…give me more time," Riku was sounding desperate as he choked tears back. Axel had suddenly felt guilty for visiting them at that moment. Riku was obviously having a very difficult time, and it probably made more sense to be cheered up by his lover rather than his friend.
He heard muffled, "I love you." And then the phone snapped closed. He stood and was now a foot away from the doorway of the balcony as he watched the two band mates hug. Finally calming down Riku was well enough to turn to Axel and gave him a light smile. Axel knowing all to well that, that smile was a beaten down and broken fake. Now Axel was positive that there was a very special person, a family member maybe? In deep shit, and Riku was tired of not being able to do anything for this person.
