A/n: My understanding is that I probably have a disorder that causes me to get story ideas and it won't stop bugging me until I at least write down a summary. So anyway, this is a story with a pairing I really don't see much of. I mean, and I seriously mean, that I have gone up to my friends and students that I talk to and asked them to pick either one or two. The one and two stood for a couple.

One was AkuRoku (Axel and Roxas) and two was Zemyx (Zexion and Demyx). I really couldn't decide on which pairing to use, it was incredibly hard to pick, really. So then a bright light filled my path and I finally picked a couple. One that I don't even see a lot of! o: *drum roll* AXEL AND ZEXION :D I think that pairing is kinda cute x3 Enjoy the story!

Pairings: AxelxZexion, RoxasxNamine, SoraxRiku, and KairixDemyx.

Warnings: abuse, ooc-ness, swearing, yaoi and so on.

Summary: Axel was never right in the head when it came to relationships. He was always aggressive, hurtful and rude to his boyfriends. Zexion, his current boyfriend, is dealing with it right now. Zexion just wants to escape from the cruel ways of Axel, but he's too blinded by love to see what kind of a nightmare Axel is to him.

I do not own anything!

Chapter One: Promises

Sometimes, you don't know what to pick in life. It's either choosing between two friends or whatever movie you want to see cuz you know you only have enough for one movie and you don't get paid until a week later. Most choices have to be made at gunpoint or knifepoint. You would probably make the wrong decision, but there's a 50/50 percent chance that you could walk away alive.

"I'm so sorry, Zexion." Axel said to the small weeping figure in the corner, "I-I don't know what got into me. I promise I won't hit you again, okay?" He crouched down and smiled at his boyfriend.

Zexion looked up at Axel, pain and a mix of love was in his puffy, red, eyes. He sniffled and gently pushed himself off from the ground, wincing only slightly as he felt the bruises form on his fragile, little, body. "Promise?" The slate-haired teen asked, his voice trembling ever so slightly.

The red headed teen smiled at Zexion, "I promise."

Sometimes your choices could end up getting you hurt in the long run.

"Where did you get these bruises, young man?" Zexion's mother, Aqua Lockheart, aka Tifa Lockheart's sister, asked. She slowly examined his bruises on his arms and back. After the examination, she placed her hands on his fists and waited for his reply.

After all this time she doesn't know...

Zexion rolled down his sleeves and heaved a heavy sigh. "I fell off my skateboard. I hit a bump and flew off." Zexion returned to his book.

"Ouch, was it really that bad of a fall?" Aqua asked, she began to chew on her thumb nail, clearly worried for her son.

"Please just stop worrying, mom. It was just a fall, it's not like I fell off The Empire State Building." He smiled slightly, reassuring her that falling off a skateboard was nothing to worry about. Every kid falls off something. In his case, a skateboard.

"Hmm, well. Okay then, sweetheart." Aqua said, returning a small smile to Zexion. She kissed the top of his head and went into the living room to watch T.V.

Zexion flipped a page of his book and continued reading. He couldn't stop thinking about Axel and what he did to him. What was that? The fifth time he's hit Zexion? His yelling still rang in Zexion's ears, and the pain of his hits felt like new again...

Axel paced around the room, waiting for Zexion. Damn that kid, he was late again! Ugh, doesn't matter now.

A tender knock at the door pulled Axel out of his thoughts. He shoved them back in his mind and went to go answer it. As Axel approached the door, he glanced through the window and noticed it was Zexion. Finally!

"I'm sorry that I'm late, Axel." His apology spoken softly. Zexion braced himself for the storm of Axel's harsh words.

"Where the hell have you been? I've been waiting for ten minutes, Zexion!" He growled and ran a hand through his red locks. It was clear Axel was stressed, as usual. But this time, he seemed a bit more on the edge.

"I'm sorry. Demyx wanted to talk to me, he said it was something important." Zexion said softly, he scratched his arm.

Axel noticed that small action and quickly squealed, "Lair! You were scratching your arm! When people lie they do something like scratching their arm or nose!"

"One, I only scratched my arm because I had an itch. Two, I never lie, Axel. And three, why would you think I'm lying? I love you and I would never lie to you," Zexion said in many tones, he silently made his way to Axel and wrapped his arms around the taller teen.

Axel placed a tender kiss on Zexion's lips, "I'm sorry, Zex. You know I kinda get...Jealous when you're with other guys." Axel said.

Zexion sighed, "Yeah, I know...I really don't want to ask you this, but will you kinda...ease up when I'm around other guys? It's like you want them to know that I'm with you. And you sorta go crazy when I talk to other guys too..."

"I do not go crazy!" The red head protested.

"Yes, you do!"

"Name one time I've gone crazy," Axel said, he now let go of Zexion and crossed his arms.

"Well, okay." Zexion began. He could name a bunch of times that Axel went crazy when he was just talking to one guy. Not even crazy, berserk. Insane. "Remember when I was talking to Roxas? You just randomly come up to me and start telling Roxas that you're the only one I'm going to ever love."

Axel blankly scratched his head, he did remember that time. It was a "natural" habit for him to "protect" his boyfriends, but in the end, they end up moving away, or breaking up with him. "Oh yeah..." He said slowly.

"Yeah," Zexion nodded, his tone the same as Axel's tone. "Will you please lay off when I talk to other guys? No thanks to your help, Roxas is scared to talk to me whenever you're around." Zexion explained.

"You want me to lay off?" Axel suddenly burst. He grabbed Zexion's upper arms and shook him slightly. "Why don't you break up with me if you want me to lay off?"

Frankly, Zexion should've been scared, but he's been through this so many times, he's no sure if he should be scared, he's not sure which emotion to feel at this moment. Zexion did, however, wonder why Axel burst out all of a sudden. Could it have been something he said? Most likely. No, Axel was not bipolar. He showed none of the symptoms. Bipolar about love, maybe?

"No, Axel. All I've said was-,"

Axel shoved Zexion. Harder than he expected. In Axel's mind, he though he just lightly pushed Zexion. In reality, he violently shoved Zexion into a wall, violent enough to break a bone or two.

Zexion slammed against the wall with a very loud thud. He slowly slid down to the floor and stayed quiet.

"I know you want to break up with me!" Axel shouted at his lover. He crouched down so he eye leveled with the slate-haired teen.

Zexion looked up, his eyes getting wet from the tears building up.

As soon as Zexion looked up. Axel slapped him, the slap was so forceful that the sound reverted around the room. Like a ball in a small space, bouncing against each wall until it eventually comes to a rest.

The smaller teen whimpered slightly as he caressed his red cheek with both of his tiny hands. He attempted to stand up, but the force from hitting into the wall prevented him from standing up. Zexion gave up and waited for the worst.

Axel hit Zexion over and over again. To prevent further damage, Zexion tried to protect himself from Axel, he put his arms up so Axel was hitting his arms too. Much less pain that before. The red haired teen stood up and waited for Zexion to relax. Make Zexion think that was wasn't going to hurt him anymore.

He wanted Zexion to think that he was sorry for hurting him.

Zexion finally relaxed.

Axel merely kicked him in the stomach. Poor little Zexion let out a strangled cry and slid to the side, clutching his small stomach in pain. A few tears streamed down his cheeks and he stayed there.

Ten minutes later, Axel came back to Zexion. A painful hug and a tender kiss renewed their love for each other. It "promised" that there would be no more pain, no more hurting or any of that in their relationship.

Love is a funny thing, isn't it?

Did Zexion really believe that Axel wasn't gonna hurt him anymore? Zexion didn't even know himself.

He turned a page in his book and wet his lips. What if his mom found out? What then? Would she make Zexion see a counselor? Possible no. Would she have him break up with Axel? Most likely. Would she have him transferred to another school? Possible yes. Become one of those mom's that go ape shit whenever her son's abusive boyfriend comes near him? There is a high chance that the answer is yes.

The teen shook his head. Axel promised, didn't he?

Yeah, but his promises are empty. Said the voice in his head, it said the answer with a sharp tone.

"His promises aren't empty." He murmured, his book forgotten. "I-I'll show you! He won't hurt me this week! He promised!" His voice cracked at 'promised'. A tear ran down Zexion's cheek, running down a warm bruise. "He...He promised."

But Zexion wasn't even believing himself.

BOOM! No, this isn't Zexion's voice o.o lol jk
