Part 2 – Bitter

He ground his teeth, clenching his fists in anger. The marks on his body had yet to fade, and every time he saw them they sent a shiver through him. It was a pleasant shiver, and he knew, he knew he'd done it for this. For the after-effects. For the lingering torture of being unable to receive him wholly; the inability to have him then and there… It was a slow, cruel, drawn-out torture, Saix thought, and he grew furious as he craved the damn redhead more and more.

It had only been a couple days, but the urge to pin the idiot down and have his way with him was overwhelming, as the blood clots he'd left on his body throbbed ever so gently, like fingers lightly tracing his skin, serving as a soft reminder of where Axel's lips had caressed his skin. The leather of his gloves squeaked as his grip tightened again. He made up his mind, moving with deliberate steps so as not to stomp, to go find the tease. The shadow of the Luna Diviner nearly covered the door to the other's room, and he slowly took a step forward, making it slide open.

Axel slept, but it wasn't a deep sleep. Somewhere in the background of his slumbering mind, he could sense that someone was in his presence. He rolled to his other side, though, ignoring the sensation and resuming his favorite pastime. An odd feeling began to spread throughout his body, though, starting at his neck then down his chest, by the time it reached his hips, his eyes had popped open. A startled moan escaped his lips as the other's lips gently teased him, teeth grazing the skin there. By this point, Axel knew it was Saix, but he was still just as surprised.

"H-Hey," he managed to choke out just before Saix's fingers curled around the edges of his pants. A grunt this time as the motion caused his chest to rub up against Axel's already aroused self. He clenched his jaw, "What's the big…idea?" He'd meant that to come out as an even sentence, but the angry yellow eyes that met his emeralds nearly silenced him.

"Isn't it obvious," he muttered, sinking his teeth into the other hip, harder this time now that he was finally awake, "Revenge."

Saix could tell that Axel was still groggy from having been asleep, but he didn't care. The grunts and small moans coming from the redhead motivated him all the more. He would never admit it, but he enjoyed this. He loved being the tease, never the teased. He placed either hand on the sides of his pants, kissing down his happy trail and toward where his zipper was, grabbing it with his teeth and pulling it down. Axel's eyes widened as he did so, and he caught him biting his lip just before he threw his head back in another moan as Saix kissed the fabric of his boxers between the opening.

Deep down, Saix was having fun. This was the best part. Seeing him writhe and arch, seeing his eyes meet his with such lust, begging for more. But this time, it wasn't just that. Any other time, he would have stopped teasing here, for fear of being too mean and losing the mood, but this time…this time he was willing to make Axel really beg. Just as the other began to prepare himself for what he thought was going to happen, Saix kissed his way up to Axel's neck, his lips leaving trails of faint caresses, his tongue tickling him in the best way, until his lips reached where his shoulder and neck met, and he paused. He took a second, to really take in the other's panting, how Axel's chest was rising and falling, how Saix could feel the heat of them both pressing together, and it made him smirk, it was quite satisfying.

Axel squeezed his eyes shut as Saix blew on his neck; it made him shiver with need. He wanted so badly to just have him. The wait, this suspense, it was killing him. He knew, though, that if he gave in, Saix wouldn't be content, so he didn't say anything. Saix licked his neck, as if preparing it, before pressing his lips against it and sucking on it, his tongue working the skin there, which had Axel shaking with pleasure. Saix's free hand had unbuttoned his own pants earlier, while Axel had been distracted, but now he could feel it, and it made his chest ache with longing. His arms wrapped around him, his fingers digging into his back as he let out a full-on moan this time, his legs opening, knees bending to allow them to rub together.

A deep, evil chuckle resonated in Saix's chest as he felt the pyro silently ask for more with his low, grumbling moans, and his fingers kneading his hips. So, Saix placed his hands on the other's hips, lining them up with his own in one rough movement. The sound of Axel's gasp pleased him. Sliding his hands back up to intertwine with his hair, he pressed his lips to his neck to resume his work there. As he did this again, though, he slowly grinded his hips against the other's, enjoying Axel's deep, agonized moans. Gently, he pulled his hair while also nibbling at his neck, grinding his hips against his a little harder. It was difficult for Saix, though he'd never say so, not moan and give in himself. The feeling of them rubbing against each other was making him want to melt, but he kept up his serious expression, had to keep himself in check, no letting his face slip. This was for revenge, nothing more, nothing less.

Axel's nails dug into the blue haired man's back roughly, wanting him to press against him harder. His breathing was becoming much heavier, and it was getting harder to think about anything other than how much he wanted him. At first he'd let him go on so as to ease his anger, knowing what his purpose was, but now he just wanted more. His heart was pounding, and he was starting to get really, really hot. It had been so long since they'd had sex, so long since they'd been this close to each other, and his body ached from the need he felt. He exhaled into another moan as the other switched to the other side of his neck. Axel knew he'd have huge marks there later, but couldn't focus on that thought for very long, another thrust against him made him gasp into a low grunt, his skin covered in goosebumps, his body begging him to come inside.

Yet…the only thought that kept coming back to Axel was how much it bothered him that Saix refused to kiss him.

It didn't go unnoticed. In the entirety of this tease, Saix had not once kissed him. It made Axel feel empty, emptier than he usually felt – as a nobody – and he didn't like it. Deep down, he still had the faint inklings of attachment for him, Isa having been his best friend and later his only love interest for the longest time; he didn't like knowing that Saix was only in this for revenge right now, like he was just any other guy… The need that weighed on his chest was too much for this to be just about payback. He bit his lip, knowing full well that what he was about to do could set him off and make him leave, but determined to do it anyway. He quickly tightened his legs around him, locking him in place, and then reached a hand up into his now sweaty hair, pulling him up from where he'd made his home at his neck. They met eyes for a moment, and Saix's went wide for a moment before narrowing.

"I'm not done," he said in a cold tone, obviously annoyed.

Axel smiled, laughing, "I know." He held his topaz gaze for a moment.

He pulled him down towards him, and slowly tilted his chin with his free hand to connect their lips. Axel's hand was still on the back of Saix's head, and he could feel his immediate instinct to pull away, but he held him there without much force, licking his lips slowly before kissing him.

When their lips met again, Saix couldn't pull away, even though he knew he should have. He just… He couldn't bring himself to say no to him. He couldn't be the hateful Saix when he was around him. It was like Axel had some sort of power over him, and that's what drove Saix crazy the most. They kissed, passionately, tongues entwining and playing together, lips getting bitten, before long they were making out without realizing. Saix could feel the warmth radiating from Axel's body intensify, and he started to come to his senses.

He hadn't come here today for this. This was what Axel had thrown away… They were nothing anymore; Axel didn't care about their friendship, or what they had made together, the plans they'd had for years. Their relationship was nonexistent, and Saix knew it well. He detached their lips, meeting Axel's sad green eyes with his own empty yellow ones. This was what they were now. He went for his hips again, pressing them hard together before sliding up and down ever so slowly. He could feel Axel shivering from the sensation, and Saix put his face closer to his, giving his bottom lip a series of small bites. His moans were longer and deeper now, and his bottom was much more responsive, arching and tightening around him. It was then that Saix sprang up, jumping to his feet.

"Revenge is bittersweet," Saix half-bowed, his tone and face serious and emotionless like always, "Goodnight."

Axel shot up from his bed in one blindingly fast movement, pinning Saix to the wall by the door before he could reach his exit. Saix's expression broke at last, his eyes wide, his hands clenched into fists as he fought not to show any emotion. Axel met his eyes with sorrow, frowning as his lover looked so…fragile…so broken… He went in to kiss him again, but just as their lips were about to touch, he noticed Saix's eyes were squeezed shut. He dropped his head, pressing it against his chest.

"What happened to us…" he whispered, his voice cracking. He pushed himself away from the wall, allowing the other to leave.

As he reached the door, it opened, and before stepping out and hearing it closed, Saix turned over his shoulder to meet eyes with his former companion.

"You changed."

Don't hate me! ^-^" It's KH, you knew feels would be here! Please review, I need to know what if I'm doing anything wrong (or right, lol).
