Into the fire
Chapter 8
Hurt
Axel sat in his classroom staring at the necklace that Roxas had bought him… he sighed and rolled it onto the table… he closed his eyes and thought of Sora…
Suddenly Roxas came into the room… he looked very angry… his lip was still split and swollen from Friday… Axel sat up
"what do you want?" he asked "you're not meant to be in my class anymore" Axel was worried…
"oh I know…" Roxas said coldly "I didn't come for a lesson" he slapped Axel hard "I came to punish by bitch for treating his master like such a dog!" he had gone red… Axel held his stinging cheek… he couldn't hurt the kid… Sora made him promise on the car ride home… he stood up and towered over the child…
"leave…" Axel snarled… Roxas suddenly pulled something small and silver from round his neck… it was the small dagger pendant he wore… suddenly he forced the metal pice into Axel's stomach… blood seeped from the wound and onto the child's hand.. Axel's eyes widened and he keeled over… Roxas moved away and wiped his hand on his trousers… Axel looked up… the room hazed… he couldn't see Roxas fully
"that's a good bitch" hissed Roxas… he stormed out of the room and closed the door… suddenly Axel herd a click… Roxas had locked the door… Axel fell to his knees… his head throbbed… he felt sick… he pulled the small knife out of his stomach and eld it in his hand… he suddenly looked down and the pool of blood that surrounded him… he lurched forward and hit the floor…
Sora walked down towards the maths class, suddenly he saw Roxas approaching him… blood was smeared down his school trousers… Sora ran up to him
"Roxas what happened?" he shrieked "did Axel hurt you again?" Roxas smirked
"I guess you can say that" he smiled and walked off… Sora felt his stomach dropp… he ran as fast as he could to the maths room only to find the door locked… he stood back and shouldered the door open, he screamed at the sight… he hit the floor and held his lover in his arms…
"Axel!" he screamed… the red head's eyes flickered open… he looked up at far as he could
"s…sor..a…" he struggled, suddenly his body went limp, Sora began to scream… his lungs ached and his throat stung but he screamed… louder and louder
"please somebody help me!" he shrieked… suddenly people began to crowd the hallway… children and teachers poured into the room… the teachers tried to pick Sora up but Sora clung to Axel's body… suddenly he noticed something shiny in Axel's hand… he opened it and looked at the small dagger pendant, his eyes stung, he leant in close to Axel's ear
"I'll make it better" he whispered… he stood up and shoved the students and paramedics out of the way… he ran down the hall faster and faster… he realised the blood down his clothes but he no longer cared… he ust ran and ran… suddenly he saw what he was looking for… his friend stood in the school hall opposite Sora… his arms crossed… his mouth angled into a dangerous smirk… Sora clenched his hands fall by his side… he walked forwards to face Sora
"thank you for returning my necklace" he smiled yanking the chain from Sora's hand, Sora swung his fist to hit Roxas in the face… blood trickled from Roxas's lips… he licked his chin and frowned
"just as bad as that bitch" he snarled… Sora punched him again… this time he hit Roxas's nose… blood seeped down his face…
"tut, tut, tut Sora…" he said… he swung his own fist and hit Sora… the only difference was he had placed the pendant between his fingers and cut a long gash in the side of Sora's face, Sora howled and held his face
"there… see if he'll love you even without that pretty face of yours" Roxas snarled… Sora blinked… he felt so much pain… but he remembered Axel… the blood… the love he felt for him… he clenched hit fists and puched Roxas, the blond hit the floor, Sora sat over him and punched his face repeatedly until he had no more evergy… Roxas lay unconscious and bleeding on the floor… Sora stood up and caught his breath… he turned and ran out into the car park to see Axel, he was being lifted into the ambulance, Sora ran to his side, one of the paramedics looked down at him
"can I come along?" he asked, the man nodded and Sora hopped in the back… he squeased Axel's hand and stared at his pale face… the paramedic looked at Sora
"what happened to your face?" he asked
"I made things better…" Sora mumbled… he felt Axel squease his hand gently…
Sora lay in hospital with five stitches in his face while they sewed Axel back together… suddenly a nurse in a small pink dress walked in and looked at Sora
"oh my!" she ghasped "what happened sweetie?" she asked… she bent over to look Sora in the eyes… Sora just blinked
"that guy in there…I helped him… but I was too late to stop him getting hurt…" he said… the nurse quickly hugged him…
"aww poor thing" she said… she stood back up and skipped off down the hall… Sora had a headache… he lay down on the chairs again and closed his eyes… he was so worn out that he fell asleep…
When he woke there was someone sitting with him… he sat up… Kairi was sitting with him, next to her was Riku and next to him was Naminé… Sora blinked a few times
"guys?" he asked…
"Naminé told us…" said Kairi… he looked upset, Sora was annoyed
"we had to know why you nearly killed Roxas" said Naminé…
"I see" said Sora… he felt bile in the back of his throat when he thought of that person…
"Sora why didn't you tell us?" asked Riku… Naminé sighed
"he was worried that Axel would get in trouble…" she explained… suddenly a doctor walked out, he looked at the group of children
"Sora?" he asked openly… Sora raised his hand
"erm… he's asking for you" he said… Sora jumped up and ran into the room… Axel lay propped up in bed, he had a bandage round his waist and looked very tired… he turned his head, his eyes lit up when he saw Sora… Sora hugged Axel tight… tears streamed down his face…the tears stung his cuts…
"oh Axel… I was so scared" he sighed… Axel smiled… he felt something warm inside him… suddenly he looked up
"what happened to your face?" he yelled, Sora covered his cheek… he sighed…
"I made things better" he said simply… Axel looked worried
"what did you do to him?" he asked…
"I hurt him… badly…" Sora whispered… he looked down at the blood on his shirt…
"is that yours?" asked Axel…
"some of it" said Sora with a shrug… "the others are outside…"
"oh…?" Axel asked
"yeah… and they know…" Sora said… Axel closed his eyes…
"Sora look…" he started… "I can't endanger you like this… i…" Sora hti his hand off the bedside table
"no!" he shouted "we're not breaking up because of this!" Sora felt more tears ooze into the mound on his face… Axel sighed…
"but Sora i…" he was cut of as Sora pressed his lips to his… Axel felt everything… all the pain… all the sadness just wash away… he rained his arms and held Sora closer to him… suddenly the rest of the children walked in… Sora stood up and blushed, Axel just cleared his throat and looked in another direction
"sorry… should we…" stared Riku already heading for the door… Sora raised a hand
"wait!" he said "please stay…" Axel turned
"yeah… please don't leave…" he smiled… Sora felt the cut sting from all the salt water… he held his face and hissed… Axel held his free hand…
"sir i…" stared Kairi… but she just closed her mouth and looked down…
"Roxas is in surgery… you got him pretty bad Sora" said Naminé…
"he hurt Axel…" Sora said to his feet… Naminé walked forwards and hugged Sora close…
"it's okay… we're not mad at you… what he did was wrong" he hushed… Sora pulled away and sat down on the bed beside Axel… Axel wrapped his arms around Sora… Riku looked away blusing
"anyway… so… you guys are… well…" he tried…
"yes Riku…" said Sora blankly
"nevermind" he said… Sora nodded
"you guys are good together…" smiled Kairi… Sora looked up and smiled… he looked at Axel, suddenly he felt extremely turned on… he grabbed Axel's other hand… he moved the covers away and found the black notebook under the sheets… Sora scowled…
"guys leave to room for a minute" said Sora… the three turned and hurried out of the room… Sora grabbed Axel's cheek and pulled him in for a kiss… Axel crossed out the command and kissed Sora back… he didn't need the book… Sora pulled away and smiled, Axel was safe… and he was going to be with him for a long time…
