A Night to Remember

Axel rolled his eyes as Sora spun the bottle, which landed on Kairi. 'Oh well obviously...' he grumbled and started to stand up as the party dissipated.
Everyone had been there, at Riku's place. It was a few days before Halloween and Riku had decided to host a last minute Halloween Party. All of the teenagers where there, some younger and older ones, meaning anything could have happened. Riku had his own apartment away from home. It was a fairly big place, with a huge entertainment room. Riku and Sora had really gone all-out, putting up orange and black balloons, streamers and darkening the room. They had even gone to the extent of hiding in a coffin then jumping out and scaring people. 'They seriously would think we would get scared by that?' Axel grumbled, remembering early in the afternoon only Larxene had gotten a fright, but then had chased Sora and Riku around the rest of the afternoon, trying to lock them up in the coffin. Axel laughed at the memory.
He started to walk out the front door. After watching scary movies and easting cheese balls all day, he was pretty tired.


Roxas bit his lips as the bottle spun round and round, it landed on someone else. It felt like everyone let out a small sigh of relief. Sora had spun the bottle, and it landed on Kairi. 'Typical' the blonde thought. 'Stupid Namine, what a stupid game...But I gather she's only trying to help' Roxas slightly glanced at Axel and then looked at his hands on his laps. He watched as Sora gave a quick peck on Kairi's cheek and sat back to his seat, that was the last round, it was time to go. As planned, they stayed at Riku's till 3 am. Roxas sighed and got up as everyone was saying goodbye, He wanted to go as quickly as possible before Axel spotted him and decided to give him a ride home. Roxas began walking to his house as he spotted Axel talking to Riku.


Axel turned around to face Riku and asked about staying over-night. The red-head had been drinking and didn't really want to call for a taxi, but didn't want to walk either.
"Yea, sure. Just let me sleep." Riku nodded to the couch then ran up into his own room, instantly crashing onto his bed.
"Whatever." Axel shrugged and walked over to the couch, closing his eyes and sleeping.


Roxas kept walking silently towards where him and Sora, his brother, lived. He listened quietly to the almost inaudible shuffling of his feet and the crunch of leaves under his shoes before looking back, feeling he was being followed. Roxas then started to walk again, He zipped up his jacket and sped up, he then felt something grab him. Roxas was then shoved into an alleyway and held into position.

"My, my, What is a pretty boy like you walking about the streets at this time?"

Roxas' eyes widened. He struggled in the man's ice grip. He screamed as then the man pulled out a knife and cut his cheek, "You scream again, and I'll have you cut you up". After the black-haired boy spoke, Roxas was instantly knocked out.


Axel woke up a few hours later, around midnight or early morning. "Okay.. sober. I'm walking home." Axel noted, standing up then punching the couch and muttering something along the lines of 'too lumpy'.

Axel walked out the door and towards his own apartment, stopping when he saw a glint of an eye down an alleyway. 'Huh..' He walked towards it and finally saw the blonde hair, and the ragged clothes. '..Roxas?' Axel started running closer. "Roxas!" He knelt by the blonde and shook his shoulder.

"Axel…?" Roxas whispered, bringing his hand up to trail along the cuts the secret person had made along his face.

"What happened! Axel growled and looked around then turning back to Roxas and bringing his hand up to touch the blonde's face, trailing his fingers along the newly made cut.

Roxas opened his eyes slowly, and tried to looked at Axel, but couldn't. He started to shake, "No..." the blonde whispered, Roxas shook his head and clung onto his crush. Tears flowed down his cheeks making the cut burn, this made him cry even more. "I can't..." Roxas sniffed. "No...I can't...".
Roxas remembered one thing that the man said:

"You tell anyone, that you were raped, I will kill your friends and family, and then I'll come for you..."

the man had then cut of one of his spikes and ran away.

Roxas shuddered at the memory and held on to Axel's shirt tighter. He kept repeating the same words over and over again, as the scene ran through his mind.

Axel's eyes dropped and inspected the various cuts over Roxas' face. "Shh.. shh.." he breathed, noticing it was causing the blonde pain. "It's okay, calm down. You can tell me." he patted Roxas' hair before noticing one of his spikes were missing. Axel looked into Roxas' eyes and hugged his shivering form. 'What.. oh Roxas.' he breathed deeply as a tear came to the corner of his eye. "I know.. shh. Don't Worry."
Axel stood up and picked Roxas up, who was still clinging to his shirt. "Come on, let's go home and get you some new clothes." he began walking towards his own apartment.
