Summary: A one night stand with a certain silver haired prostitute to get away from current relationship problems was meant to be a one time thing. Axel didn't expect to be involved with him anymore, but things never work out in his favor. AkuRiku and more. Lemony~

Disclaimer: Did I mention I don't own Kingdom Hearts? Well, I don't.

A.N.: As I promised yesterday (or this early, early morning at 2 a.m.), here's the next chapter for today. I've gotten a decent rest. So, see you next time in the next chapter!

As I slammed my car door behind me, I drove my first against the steering wheel multiple times, bruising my knuckles until they became sore. My forehead rested against the wheel, my teeth locked in a tight grit and my eyes clenched shut.

"Riku, don't you realize that I fucking like you?" I asked in a hiss. "And that I'm too much of a moron to admit it?"

I shook my head softly, my hair swaying from the movement. My teeth latched onto my lower lip as my head continued to shake from side to side. It was as if my own body was trying to deny that tonight's events actually happened. But, the unfortunate truth was that it did.

Because of me, Riku was out there heartbroken and was now alone with some...some complete stranger. In his state, I did not even know what would happen. Would he try to forget about me by sleeping with this guy and was he even thinking about me when he did it?

"I'll never know the damn answer," I slightly laugh out. "This is what I asked for."

I never expected I would make Riku this upset. I thought that I would have everything in control for our date. I was naive in previously thinking of manipulating our date just so I wouldn't like him. Or that he would eventually get uninterested in me.

Now here I was, wanting to scream out my aggravation because I got exactly what I planned for. Riku was definitely sick of me, ran away, and was not coming back to me.

If this had happened several nights ago, I would not have cared. Now was now, however, and even in the short amount of time that we spent together, even if it was just mainly sleeping together, there was something there. I knew there was, otherwise I wouldn't feel the pain that he is feeling now. This was something deeper than simply liking him, and I should shoot myself now for thinking so crazy.

But, even if I was discovering my true inner feelings now, even if they were lunatic, it was over.

"No," I growled out in frustration. My eyes thinned into slits and my hand shot out to grab my automatic shift. I roughly put my car in drive, growling out even more aggressively. "It's not over until I goddamn hear you say it."

I don't want to stand here and contemplate if I messed it up completely. I don't want to evaluate my emotions or figure out if I just like him, or more. All I know, and all I need to know, is that I feel strongly for Riku. That was enough for me to pursue the male and talk to him.

I pulled out of my parking space, driving down the road. The limousine took a right at the end of the road from what I saw. I just had to find this limo. Even if it takes all night long, I'm determined to find Riku. I wouldn't settle on going home without him here sitting beside me.

I make a right on the end of the road, keeping my eyes peeled for the long white limo. This shouldn't be so difficult because it would stick like a sore thumb among other vehicles. My head turns there and fro, scanning the parked cars on this street. The streetlamps provided little help and I wish it was morning so I could see twenty feet ahead of me instead of the five I was seeing right now.

I didn't know where Riku was driven after that turn, but I had no choice but to blindly drive if I really wanted to find him. I cruised by streets and avenues of lit and dark houses, and parked cars that weren't even close to appearance of the one I was looking for.

I must have driven down dozens of roads before my eyes settled on my fuel gauge. I cursed as it was nearly empty. I haven't been filling up the car so much since I was so distracted with Riku...

I pulled into the gas station up ahead. As I gruffly stated my amount to the worker there, I turned my head back towards the street. It was bustling with several cars and I'm assuming that it connected to some sort of highway or even busier street. Who knew.

Off in the distance, across the street from me, there was this dim flickering light beneath the fog. It must have been some streetlamp that lit up a parking lot of some kind. I briefly wonder why there would be a parking lot across from the gas station rather than in it before the worker takes the tube out of my tank. He kindly wished me a good night and I responded with a curt nod, pulling onto this busy road. Maybe among the cars, I could find that limousine.

Before I even drove to the end of street, where I was right in my deduction that it merged onto some sort of highway, a figure ran from the direction of that "parking lot". In the distance, I noticed that their hand was waving frantically. As I got closer, the male didn't have a shirt on and his silver hair perfectly shone in the moonlight.

Silver hair...

My foot jammed on the brake suddenly, stopping right in front of the male. As I rolled down the window of the passenger's side, I could tell he wasn't too happy to see me. That was quite an opposite reaction from mine.

"Get in, Riku," I said, surprised that my voice came out lucid and calm. He doesn't look pleased in the slightest and looks ready to refuse my offer. He then turns around with a double take before fear comes over his features, quickly throwing himself in the seat besides me.

Riku slams the door behind himself, and gives me a quick nod. He puts his belongings on the dashboard before I drive off back onto the road.

The car ride is silent and tense, even as I merge onto the highway. At this point, I don't know where I'm going, but I'm relieved that I have the silverette by my side.

I hear a slight shuffling of him slipping on his v-neck sweater and it pulls a question from my mouth. "No shirt. No shoes. Why?"

"Didn't have time to put them back on," Riku simply answered. His breathing was fast to the point of panting. I wonder why he's breathing so heavily, but I don't want to ask him yet.

I hear a soft, "Holy shit", before my eyes glance over to Riku, fumbling through a wallet. "What is it?" I ask a little curious.

"He's got nearly a thousand bucks here. At least he's smart enough to not put his credit cards in here."

A surge of jealousy goes through my veins. The wallet didn't belong to Riku which meant it belonged to that guy. To earn that amount of money, he must have performed a lot of deeds, which I wasn't particularly fond of.

"Fantastic. I bet he thought you deserved every last bit of it," I hissed out. The comment was out before I could stop it.

"As a matter of fact, I stole it from him because he nearly raped me in an abandoned parking lot," Riku explained with an underlying attitude. His head turned towards me to shoot me an undermining glare. "So think about what you say before you say it, Axel."

Anger and jealousy together are released out of me with a big exhale. My eyes briefly look at the emotions going through his eyes. That explains why Riku was breathing so heavily, why he looked so panicked. I felt like such an inconsiderate fool.

"I wish you stayed with me," I truthfully state with no intention of making him upset. I take another side-glance at him to see that he turned his head towards the window. "Did he do anything...horrible?"

"I got away before anything bad happened," Riku softly answered. We shared silence in the car after that. I was relieved that nothing too bad happened to the silver haired male. I must have arrived just in time to whisk him away from his attacker.

"I can't help but still feel scared though," he admitted softly. My attention keeps traveling from the road to Riku, who was currently opening up to me. "I'm still angry at you, but..."

Riku's words were interrupted by a sob. My mouth slightly opened to try to say something to comfort him, but words weren't able to come out. "Fuck, I'm not a crybaby," he continued with a broken voice. "It's just, what would have happened if I didn't go?"

"Hey, you're here now. Just, just please don't think like that," I attempted to comfort him. My eyebrows narrowed in concern and I gulped down this thick knot of concern stuck in my throat. "I'm with you now. I'll make sure you're safe."

"...I want to be alone with you," Riku murmured. His hand reached for mine on the wheel and his fingers traced along the outside of my hand. He pried my hand softly from the wheel to just merely hold it. "I'm still upset with you, but I need you now."

Who was I to deny Riku, especially when he seemed a little shaken up. As I cruised down the highway, the sign of a hotel caught my attention and I pulled in towards it.

"How about we spend that stolen money on a room for us? Where nobody can bother us?" I suggested with a friendly gesture to the building.

Riku nodded his head. "Serves the asshole right," he breathed out with a small smile. His smile is infectious enough to get a tiny grin to spread across my lips.

We walked together inside the pattern covered carpeted lobby. As I asked the clerk for a room, it was lucky for us to receive the last room. As I handed her my car keys to be taken care of by an attendant (who I hoped would not get any scratches on my car), she handed me the card key to the room.

Riku and I stepped inside the elevator. We happened to get a room on the last floor, and as we stepped in front of our room, Riku and I happened to turn our heads towards the other's direction. He gave me an awkward smile with a set of apprehensive eyes as he eyed the card in my hand.

As I swiped the card in the slot, the door clicked open. I whistled with satisfaction as I scanned the room. There was one king sized bed that was already neatly made with a velvet red comforter that was embroidered gold in small elaborate designs. There were more pillows on the bed than I had owned himself with matching hues and threaded patterns.

"Are you going to shower tonight?" Riku asks softly, his arms crossing.

"No, go right ahead. I already did earlier," I answered. I placed the card and my wallet on the bedside dresser, turning on the fancy lamp. I turn again towards Riku, and there he is, just standing awkwardly in the middle of the room. "Something wrong?"

He seemed to have broken out of a daze as his head whipped towards me. "Huh? Oh, no. I'm going then." Before Riku disappeared into the bathroom, he stopped right before opening the door. "By the way, I didn't go all the way with him." Before he shut the door behind him, Riku stated, "I couldn't because I kept thinking of you."

As the door gently clicked into place with one last small staring contest with Riku, I began to strip out of my clothing. As I heard the water run in the bathroom, I wonder why Riku seemed so nervous. I stripped off my sweater and unbuttoned the shirt shirt underneath. I shrugged off my clothing as I began to fold them neatly.

"Is he nervous because of how we argued?" I wonder aloud and shook my head. That would have made sense if Riku was more upset rather than the anxiousness he seemed to possess. As I undid my trousers and they pooled around my ankles, I look at the bed and realization nearly takes my breath away.

"Oh. Ohhh..." I groan aloud. "I really am a fool."

Now I'm on edge as I rip away my pants and throw it on the comforter. I try to laugh away my own anxiety as I search through the drawers, taking out a silk robe that the room service probably set in there.

Riku is acting the way he is right now because we're in a hotel room together. The space is intimate, there's only one bed that we're most likely going to sleep on together for the night, and he just admitted that he couldn't stop thinking of me.

I tied the robe up, blushing as I leaned on the bed with both outstretched hands. I hear the shower turn off then and I inhale sharply through my nose. I try to act casual by sitting on the bed, getting my stiff limbs to relax.

As I hear the bathroom door open, I stutter, "H-hey. There's a robe in the drawer for you."

"Ah, really? Thanks," Riku's voice wispily sighs. I keep my glance on my lap and from the corner of my eye, I see a pair of feet walk past me. A towel soon drops around them and I politely don't look up until Riku completely drapes the robe around his body.

There's a shift in weight on the bed and to my side, there is Riku. This a better time than any to communicate. "There's a lot I need to say about tonight," I start lowly.

Riku's turned his undivided attention directly on me and all I could do is ramble. "Saïx came unexpectedly. Instead of considering your feelings and how my actions would affect you, I did whatever. I wasn't even thinking."

"I know," Riku chuckled slightly. At the light hearted humor, I smile and continue to speak.

"I didn't expect you to run off with someone else. From the time you left, I just couldn't get you out of my head. Riku, you're not just a guy that I sleep around with. You're highly mistaken."

"It seemed that way. But, now I understand how you feel," he murmured. Riku slightly rocked back and forth, his legs swinging lightly over the edge of the bed. "But, you should probably leave." His silver hair nearly covered his face as he cast his gaze downward.

"Why would you say that?" I question confused.

"It's better that you crush my heart completely than to keep making me like you more everyday. This should be the last night that we ever spend together."

I hear his soft, wavering exhale at the moment he mentioned separating from me and never seeing me again. My arm extends and automatically wraps around his shoulder, pulling him in close. I don't think about my next words. I just let them come naturally from my heart. All the feelings I felt when I had lost Riku poured into my heart and I expressed them with warm eyes and words.

"I don't want this to be the last night," I firmly say. "I really like you, Riku."

Riku's eyes expanded as I confessed my feelings. They turned from inviting to reproachful, and he closed them shut as he buried his face in one of his hands. "But, you'll just think about Saïx or something. You don't really mean that."

"Let me prove it to you," I murmur. I turned his face with my free hand and before he could protest, I press my lips against his. I made the kiss short, soft, and just a caress of my mouth against his. I pulled away slowly, gazing into his shocked open eyes.

"I thought you said kissing was for people you like or love," Riku reiterated my earlier words in the past.

"I know what I said."

I kiss him again, this time just a light peck. Even though it was just a short timed contact between our closed mouthes, it still sent this pleasant warm feeling through me.

"Are you saying you..."

"All I'm saying is that I know I feel strongly for you. I care about you more than you think," I admit with a slight blush on my face. As he examines my features, he too turns pink.

I know I proved how I felt about him, but I felt like these kisses he was receiving were only a small part of a whole. I didn't want Riku to doubt my feelings, and didn't want him to falsely label himself as just my personal play thing. "Riku..."

His laughter cuts shorts as he notices my serious gaze on him. He seems apprehensive as I gently guide him to lay down on the bed on his side, where I join him.

"I want to make love with you."

Riku shoots me a serious gaze. For a moment, I think he's about to refuse and accuse me of just wanting sex. His pupils dilate adoringly much to my surprise, and his hand caresses my cheek. Instead of a simple yes or no, Riku shows his desire through his actions. His arms wrapped around my neck, and his forehead pressed against mine so that we were on even eye-level.

I melted into this embrace as soon as our lips connected. There, his fingers raked through my hair, keeping my head in place. I wouldn't pull away anyway; Riku's lips were intoxicatingly smooth and soft.

Riku broke our mouthes apart, panting onto my lips. "Make love to me then..." he breathed.

Those were the words that made me fully commit to my feelings.

To gaara'sgurl101: Yes, Riku is officially now safe and sound with Axel. I couldn't just let him get cornered and not fight back! I'll be updating in the next week or so!
