Sorry that it is a week late, my mice both got really sick and I was certain that at least one of them was going to die. The good news is though that the mice are both alive and this chapter is up!
Sora ran down the stairs, all the way down into where the prisoners were held. He bumped into some people on the way down, but he didn't care. He had to get down there now. Riku couldn't possibly be right, Axel did care for him. He knew that he did. His hand was shaking as he opened the door, running to the bars as fast as he could. He pounded the button, opening the cell door, and ran in. He hit Axel at full force, knocking him onto his back, thankfully onto the bed. His arms wrapped around Axel's chest, his own chest heaved with exhaustion, and that damned heart kept beating faster and faster.
"What's wrong with you?" Axel asked, trying to regain his senses. He couldn't believe how lucky he had been to have gotten back to his cell before Sora came barreling in.
"Riku, he was such a jerk! He said that you didn't actually care about me, and I know that isn't true, right?" Sora asked, still clinging to Axel just as strong, waiting for an answer. Axel paused for a moment, figuring everything together in his head. After a moment, he patted Sora on the back, smiling as he did.
"Riku is an idiot. He thinks that he understands everything, but he doesn't understand anything. Why would you ever listen to him?" Axel positioned himself under Sora until they were fact to face, he lifted Sora's chin, moving their lips so close that they brushed against each other when they talked, "Now, how about I give you something that you want?"
Axel pushed his lips against Sora's, rolling over as he did. Now, on top, he could make sure that their chests didn't touch, that he couldn't feel that pounding of the heart. When they separated, Axel gazed down at Sora's face, that same face that he loved more than anything he had ever laid eyes on. Blue eyes looked back at him, the same blue eyes that had looked at him before. Axel lowered himself for another kiss, trying to remember Roxas and forget about Sora. It wouldn't matter, he told himself, in the end, It wont matter at all.
Sora squirmed, trying to wrap his arms around Axel's thin waist. He had no idea why his attitude had changed so much in such a short time, but he was not complaining. As Axel deepened the kiss though, he wondered if the change had been for the best. Before, Axel had been standoffish, now he was hungry, taking Sora for all he was worth. It scared Sora some, but he knew that Axel was only doing what he had asked him to on so many occasions.
Axel slipped his hand under Sora's shirt, feeling the lean muscle hidden by the thin fabric. It was so warm, as hot as the fire that Axel controlled, but so much more welcoming. Roxas had always been muscular, Axel had seen him without a shirt on a couple of times, sometimes without the nobody's knowledge. Now he got to feel those muscles, actually touch what he had admired from afar on so many occasions. His skin was softer than Axel had expected, smooth and creamy, making him want more all the time. Before long, he realized that he had removed Sora's shirt. He gazed down at the younger boy beneath him, using his hands to hide away that hideous brown hair. They were so much alike, there was no point in trying to separate them in his mind.
"Axel!" Sora moaned, trying to drag his attention back down to him. He reached up, touching Axel's face, drawing him back down. The nobody smiled and returned to his work, kissing Sora's neck, leaving a large mark above where any shirt could cover it. If Sora knew it was there, he suspected that he would get mad at him, but Axel wanted to send out a very clear signal that this boy was taken, that no one else could touch him.
Sora's heart pounded in his chest, he was with Axel. Finally Axel was kissing him, touching him. He had wanted nothing more, but it still scared him some. Even though he was scared, he wanted more. He wanted more of Axel, more of his kisses, more of his warmth, more of everything. His body shook in anticipation, shivering uncontrollably as he wrapped his arms around Axel, trying to lift up his shirt as well, but he just got his hands pushed away.
"No, I want to make you happy," Axel whispered in his ear, running two fingers down Roxas's chest, all the way down to his belt. He fingered the belt for a moment, waiting to see what Sora's reaction was. The boy looked terrified, but he nodded. Axel bit his lip, unsure of what to do. He wanted to forge ahead, rip Sora's pants off and have all the fun he wanted, but he didn't want to scare him. Still, Sora had nodded.
Axel carefully undid the belt, watching Sora's face as he did. The boy did not draw back, did not change his expression as Axel finished undoing the belt. He knew that Sora's pants had to be very painful by now, but he didn't want to remove them, he knew that Sora wasn't ready for that yet. His hands rested on the button, not undoing it. Sora looked up at him, looking ready to cry if he didn't do SOMETHING. It made Axel chuckle to see him like that, so desperate. He could tell that this was the first time Sora had been in this situation, and he was not handling it very well. Roxas would never have acted so desperate no matter how much his mind was clouded by lust.
With a quick flick of the wrist. Axel undid the button, killing the zipper in a single downward stroke. Sora was whimpering by this point, though Axle could not tell if it was from fear or need. Either way, he was about to give Sora what he had asked for. He still paused for a moment, making absolutely sure that Sora agreed to this. The younger boy lifted his hips, rubbing against Axel's hand, just the signal that Axel had been waiting for. His and dove in, quickly finding its way around the boxers.
"I still don't see why this is so urgent that I have to talk to him in the middle of the night," A voice said from the hallway leading to the cell. It was too far away to tell who it was, but it was coming closer.
"I just cant sleep until we do this," A second voice, quickly identified as Riku, said, even closer than the first.
"Shit!" Axel sprang off of Sora, throwing the boy's shirt to him and motioning for him to hurry. As Sora redressed, Axel grabbed a book and laid on his stomach, pretending to read it. He bit his lip, ignoring the pain, trying to get it to go away.
Sora had just finished pulling his shirt on by the time the door opened. Even though he had managed to get dressed in time, it was obvious what had been going on. His hair was springing up in more directions than normal, he was breathing heavy, there was the dark mark on his neck, and his little problem had not gone away.
The king and Riku stood there, looking them over. The king blushed, but decided to keep his mouth shut. He was not Sora or Axel's mother, he had no business in what they did together. Even if he did not approve, there was nothing that he could do. Riku also kept his mouth shut, scanning Sora's body. He crossed his arms, glaring at Axel now. The prisoner just looked back at him, a slight smile on his face. He did not want to even think about how far they had gone, or how far they would have gone if he and the king had not come in.
Sora blushed, looking like a kid who had gotten caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Even if no one was mentioning it, he knew that they both saw right through him. They knew what he had been up to, they were just too polite to mention it. He almost wished that they would scream at him, tell him how stupid he was for doing this, but they didn't. He knew that that was what they were thinking, he just wished that they would go ahead and get it out, anything but this.
"Well, I guess we can interrogate him in the morning," Riku muttered to the king, trying to hide the sound of his heart breaking into little pieces. He couldn't hear what the king said, the world sounded like it was underwater, but Mickey started to leave the room. Riku stayed there a moment longer, not sure if he could walk without falling over. He looked at both Sora and Axel again, biting his lip. As soon as he had the strength, he spun around and marched out of the room, leaving the pair of lovebirds alone again.
"Axel…" Sora said, turning back towards the man on the bed. His entire body was shaking again, but this time for a different reason.
"No Sora, go to bed," Axel said quietly, not sure how to respond. All he knew was that they could not possibly do anything else tonight. Even if Sora wanted to, Axel could not force himself to. There was a big difference between Sora and Roxas, one that he had just been reminded of. Sora had someone else who loved him, someone who deserved him more than Axel did.
Sora nodded, walking out of the cell in a daze. He could not comprehend what had happened. His mind was buzzing with so many different emotions that he wasn't sure which ones were right anymore. He wandered through the halls, not paying attention to where he was going, the world just seemed numb. He heard a sound coming from one of the halls and decided to walk towards it. He turned the corner to see Riku sitting on a bench, legs drawn up around his chest, his face hidden by his hair.
"Riku…" Sora said, his voice sounded foreign to his ears, as if someone else were talking instead of him.
"Just go away, go back to Axel!" Riku hissed, standing up. His hair still covered his eyes, though Sora could see how angry his friend was, "Just leave me alone!"
Riku spun away from Sora, matching off. A droplet of water hit the floor as he turned, making Sora realize why he had kept his eyes covered. Sora reached up, touching his own cheek. He was surprised to find that he was also crying.
