Brusies Chapter 2
Axel stomps down on the gas pedal, shoving the gear shift to drives as he blast off in the direction of the Cresent Residents. Axel cigarette gripped tight in between his teeth his blood throbbing from anger. His breath unsteady and his hand were shaking as he pulled into the driveway.
Inside the Cresent Residence, Kadaj sat on the far end of the couch one elbow propping up him up by his chin and his other hand occupied by a book. "So the nights begin to wander, as the peasents dream." his poetry was interuptted by banging on the door.
"Who the hell comes to our house this late!" Kadaj snapped as he slammed his book shut, grumbling as he stood and walked to the red wood door.
Outside, Axel frantically banged and banged hoping Kadaj wouldnt freaking pummle him for having a knocked out Riku in his arms.
The door finally opened and Kadaj's sea green eyes widened at the sight of his unconcious brother in Axel's lanky arms.
"W-What happened to him?" Kadaj asking frantic eyes looking into Axel's deep emerald green ones.
Axel took a deep breath and sighed, "It's my fault, he came to my house." Axel glared at the ground still standing outside on the porch with the unconcious boy in his arms.
"Actually, Axel I told him to." Kadaj admitted awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. "I told him if Lenne had told me not to come over cause it wasn't safe, I'd be worried and would go anyways." Axel's green eyes widened.
"God Riku I'm sorry." Kadaj took a hold of his younger brothers hand caressing it and nuzzleing. "It's all my fault." he mumbled over and over crying softly.
"Kadaj," Axel spoke softly.
Kadaj sniffed and looked up into emerald green, "Can we lay him somewhere?" Axel asked looking around behind Kadaj to the couch.
"Uh, uh yeah sorry." Kadaj apologized wiping the tears off his cheeks.
"Don't be I'd be upset too if my brothers boyfriend came home with a hurt unconious brother of mine." Axel explained smiling as he laid Riku down on the soft fluffy red couch.
Kadaj nodded and had turned to walk away when, "And Kadj." Axel paused, "don't blame yourself its not your fault." Axel smiled shaking his head.
Kadaj smiled his eyes happier and he nodded. "Thanks Axel." he said as he continued on his way.
Later, Riku awoke up starled frantically looking around, "Axel, where's Axel." were his first thoughts.
He felt slightly warm on his lap as he glanced down he saw the redhead asleep and breathing easy. He sighed and chuckled stroking the redhair gently.
Axel began to stir his emerald eyes opened slightly blurring looking up and seeing silver. "Riku?" he asked.
"Yeah." he laughed. Axel smiled sitting up and looking into sea foam eyes.
"How you feeling?" Axel asked yawning and stretching.
"Not bad considering the beating I took." Riku smiled turning his head slightly to the side.
Axel frowned looking away, "I'm sorry Riku I was trying to protect you." Axel explained when a pale finger stopped his lips.
"Shush, its not your fault I wanted to come and I was stubborn and got myself hurt, its not yours or anyone elses fault." Riku looked Axel straight in the eyes making sure he understood.
Suddenly Kadaj walked into the living room with Lenne his girlfriend, "Hey Morning guys." Kadaj greeted his brother and Axel. Lenne smiled and waved "Hello." she greeted.
Axel laughed, "Hey Lenne." Riku looked at him curiously.
"Axel Sinclair, never thought you'd be around Cresents." she giggled.
"Whats wrong with me being here?" Axel asked eyeing the brunette woman curiously.
"Nothing glad to see you both doing so well." she smiled her eyes were green and blue, and she had long dark brown hair, her skin had a slight tan.
"Whats up Lenne, Kadaj?" Riku asked smiling.
"Hey bro glad to see you not unconcious." Kadaj smiled wrapping one arm around Lenne's waist casually.
"Yeah Riku its good to see you." Lenne giggled when Kadaj kissed her head.
Riku rolled his eyes and looked back to Axel who just grinned.
When Kadaj and Lenne left leaving the two alone again.
"Why didnt you tell me your dad was abusive?" Riku asked seriously crossing his arms angerly.
"Didn't think you need to know thought you'd never have to meet him." Axel sighed shrugging his shoulders pulling out a pack and slipping a cigarette between his lips.
"Outside," Riku reminded Axel no smoking in the house.
Axel rolled his eyes and headed out the door.
Riku shook his head and followed.
Axel leaned against the wall and light up the cigarette with his fingertips.
"Since when did you become pyro-kinetic?" Riku asked jokingly.
"You finally noticed that huh." Axel said as he took a drag.
Riku rolled his eyes. "Back to the subject."
"Why didn't you think I wouldn't want to meet your family?" Riku asked crossing his arms.
Axel breathed out, "Cause I don't got one." Axel sighed.
"What do you mean you do too! Your dad, your mom." Riku listed.
"My mom's dead Riku." Axel took another drag, pause, breath out. "Stabbed her with a knife when I was three." Axel looked down the street to where some kids were playing soccer.
"Your dad killed your mom and you still live with him?" Riku asked incrediously.
"Have too." Axel answered.
"Why?" Riku asked looking at Axel as if he were crazy.
"He dosen't remember he killed her." Axel explained."He's got a tumor something that fucking with his brain."
"So he acts the way he dose cause of a tumor?" Riku asked hand on hip.
"Not completely." Axel answered before he took a long drag.
"So he sexually abusive cause of the tumor?" Riku asked.
"No."
"So he likes guys?" Riku asked.
Axel laughed and flicked his cigarette off into a bush. "No."
"Then why?" Riku ask staring Axel straight into his eyes.
"Cause he wants to believe I'm my mom." Axel sighed.
"What?" Riku asked shaking his head.
"My mom and him, they were happy once." Axel explained smiling. "We were happy once."
Riku just listened.
"My mom, Laura loved him so much. He loved her the same." Axel smiled.
"They had me when she was 18 and he was 19 and working at the factory." Axel continued.
"She wanted the baby, he didn't." Riku looked at Axel's gradually saddening face.
"He begged her to abort, she wouldn't have it 9 months later I was born."
"She was happy and he married her in 1989." Axel smiled. "We were happy and she was wonderful."
"Then they began fighting over everything slowly but surely he began to hate me and her." Axel explained his expression growing cold.
"One night my mom and I were in the kitchen she was cooking dinner and he walked in." Axel gritted his teeth as the painful memory came back.
"He yelled at her and slapped her calling her a whore." Axel wanted to cry but held it inside.
"When he knocked her to the ground he laughed as he kicked her in the ribs and she spat up blood." Axel face went white.
"When he pulled the knife and slit her throat and stabbed her in her stomach three times." Axel began to cry tears fell slowly.
"There was blood, so much blood and he kept laughing." Axel cried and Riku grabbed him and hugged him tightly.
"No please Axel don't cry, don't cry." Riku cooed as he rubbed Axel's shaking back. His sobs were close to heart wrenching.
"Axel, no please no more crying." Riku pleaded as a few escaped his eyes for his crying lover.
As Riku held Axel falling to the hard wood floor of the porch they sat down together and began to hold each other trying to ease the old wounds that had reopened.
