Pixie: So, things are looking quite grim for dear Roxy, aren't they? (evil laughter). Yes, he will eventually tell Sora, but not before a couple of things happen first.
Legal Mess: I own nada.
Warnings: Fic will contain yaoi, rape, incest, and bondage. No like, no read.
Sitting on the edge of his bed, Roxas stared at the floor, hands resting on his lap. He had awoken early that morning, around 5:30, and decided to get dressed for school. Truthfully, he didn't want to go, it would mean seeing Axel nearly all day, but he didn't want to sit in the apartment either. He wanted something to distract his mind from the past few days, if only temporarily.
Sora had been surprised to see him up so early, but didn't object when Roxas had informed him of what he wanted to do that day.
Glancing at the clock, he saw it was seven, and stood to go see what Sora had made for breakfast.
After eating quickly, he followed Sora out to the bike storage shed.
Just as the two were about to pedal off, Sora's phone rang.
Answering it, he said, "Hey, Riku, what's up?"
Roxas froze. He was well aware that Riku was Sora's boyfriend, which was sickening by itself, but what did he want with Sora so early in the morning?
He was momentarily lost in thought, drawn back to the present when he realized Sora had asked him something.
"Huh, what?"
"I said, would you be alright riding to school by yourself? Riku wants me to go by his place real fast before school."
Roxas would've preferred walking, since…well…last night, but Sora couldn't know anymore details. Who knew what those two would do to him if Sora learned anything else?
So, Roxas simply nodded, "Yeah, I'll be fine. No worries."
For a moment, he wondered if Sora could tell if he was lying, but the brunet rode off, apparently trusting the blond to be telling the truth.
Trying to block out the discomfort gained from riding a bike, his mind wandered as trees and buildings passed by.
He still wasn't entirely sure of how he got home last night, although he knew someone had brought him, put him in pajamas, and to bed. Most of the details were fuzzy and incorporeal, sans one. He knew there had been a lot of pain, more than he ever wanted to experience ever again.
Lost in his thoughts, the school came sooner than he expected, and he quickly turned inside the gates.
Locking his bike at the bike rack, he looked for Sora's, but it wasn't there yet. Meaning he wasn't there yet, despite the fact that Roxas had pedaled slow enough to ease his discomfort, but fast enough not to fall over.
Moving through the crowd of students, he made his way to his locker, where he grabbed his biology book. Looking at it, he paused, hands slightly shaking. Axel was in his biology class. While this had once been the milestone of the morning, it now seemed more like a curse.
Stuffing the book away into his bag, he didn't notice the girl sneaking up behind him.
"Boo!"
"Gah!" Roxas shouted, swiveling around quickly, to be greeted by Larxene. She was dressed in a white collared shirt and blue plaid skirt - the girls' uniform for Twilight Destiny High School.
"Geez, Roxy, when did you start scaring easy?" she said, laughing.
Calming down, he frowned. "Hi, Larxene."
"What put you in a funk, huh?"
Roxas glanced in the direction of the voice. It was Demyx, Larxene's twin brother.
"I'm just not in the mood today, alright guys?" Roxas said with a sigh.
Looking at his watch, he added, "I gotta get off to biology…See you at lunch."
Hurrying away, he soon reached the biology lab. Stepping inside, he tensed up, trying to keep himself from shaking.
Not only did he share this class with Axel, the red-head was his tablemate. Sitting on the stool, he kept himself focused on anything but the boy next to him.
However, since the two of them often spent the time before class providing most of the chatter in the room, the odd near-silence seemed very strange, and even drew some looks from other students.
Roxas placed his book and notebook on the table in front of him, and hoped the remainder of the day would pass much better.
----
Sora had been somewhat surprised to get a call from Riku so early in the morning. Normally, the two of them met up at school. However, for Sora, this day was already far from normal.
Riku's father was an abusive prick that derived enjoyment from hurting people, mostly his sons, Riku and Axel. But, it was rare for the man to do such things in the morning, especially on school days.
Skidding to a stop outside Riku's house, he scanned the driveway. No sign of Sephiroth's black Corvette, so he walked the bike up to the door. Raising a hand to knock, the door was opened nearly instantly by Axel.
Sora caught the man's eyes for an instant, before he quickly averted them.
"Hey…Riku called."
"I know," came the reply.
Opening it wider, Axel stepped aside, to allow Sora entry.
"He's in his room, as always."
Sora nodded, leaving the bike downstairs, as he made his way to Riku's bedroom. He was not surprised to fnd the door closed and locked.
Knocking, he said, "Riku, it's Sora. Can I come in?"
"No…I'll be out in a minute."
Sora half-smiled at himself. Riku never let anyone in while he was dressing, even if the person had been there all night, as Sora had been on occasion.
A few moments later, the door opened, and Riku stepped out to the hallway, closing it behind him.
Sora noticed he winced every time he took a step, the silver-haired boy had long since figured out how to walk without limping. Sora still wondered how he did it.
"Was it as bad as last time?" Sora asked.
Riku shot him a glare, "No. If it was, Axel would have called, instead of me."
Sora made a silent "Oh." as the two boys walked downstairs.
Pausing at the door, Sora said, "This might not be the best of times, but I have a theory on who hurt Roxas a few nights ago."
Both Riku and Axel turned to stare at the brunet. Sora wasn't sure what was radiating from their eyes, but, it made him shiver.
"Who do you think it was?" Axel asked.
"Well, who's more psycho than Sephiroth? Plus, isn't Cloud always with him?"
Cloud was Sephiroth's younger brother, and his right hand man. Wherever Sephiroth was, you were sure to find Cloud, and, from Sora's experience, both were quite crazy.
Riku and Axel looked at each other for several moments. Then, Riku nodded. "Possibly…I mean, Roxas was here that night."
"Yeah…" Axel nodded in agreement.
Picking up his bike, Sora glanced at his watch. "We're not gonna be able to bike, if we want to get there on time."
Axel shrugged. "We can take my van."
The three loaded into the black van, along with Sora's bike, and several minutes later, were at school. Sora and Riku bid Axel good-bye, since he had to run off to Biology.
Walking down the hall to their lockers, they stopped at Sora's first.
"You know," Riku said, "we could have ourselves a free period and go down to the basement."
The basement of the school was where students went if they wanted to have sex. While Sora wouldn't mind getting down and dirty with Riku, he'd already missed enough school.
"As much as I'd love to, I need to catch up on what I missed in class."
Sora grabbed his Physics book and glanced up at the clock. It was almost first bell.
"You should get to your locker, or else you'd be late. I gotta get to Physics. See you at lunch?"
Riku nodded. "At lunch."
