The Blinding Truth_
DISCLAMER: I own nothing of Kingdom Hearts. –Well that's a lie, I own all the games and basically anything you can buy KH related. What I'm trying to say here is that I do not own the characters or anything of that type.
Author's Note: I can't believe how long it's been. Thank you for being patient. My computer caught a nasty virus and was out of commission for all of this time. Poor baby. I will write my thank you's below. They seemed to have stacked up. You guys are really so awesome!
Chapter Ten_
~A Day Off
Riku woke up the next morning in his bed though he was sure he'd passed out hugging the toilet last night. He made to get up and found his wrists cuffed to the headboard above him. He pulled once calmly, grogginess and confusion calming him and then the panic set in and he started to thrash and struggle wildly. He was not one to take kindly to being tied down. His heart was racing in his chest and his breathing became labored as he struggled, he really had worked himself into frenzy with blood curdling fear. He knew where he was now and could remember last night. He had no intention of a repeat and would really rather avoid contact with that man if at all possible. He managed to hurt himself, rubbing his poor wrists war and probably bruising them a great deal before he had to rest, without making much leeway.
"Are you quite done?" Ansem asked from the doorway.
He was leaning against the frame and he looked a combination of pissed off and amused. He held a bowl in his hands and looked strangely detached from the object. He would have struggled more, but he'd tired himself out, though his heart did spike with sudden fear and loathing. He was hoping he could escape this, even before he passed out the night before. He lay still and panting and watched Ansem in the doorway. His chest was heaving with each quick rise in fall of his breath and he sent the best glare he could manage towards the other man.
"I should have known." He said through pants and his voice was hoarse with his morning voice as he turned his head away, no longer able to keep the glare trained on the man before him.
He was angry, but weary all the same. Ansem seemed to take Riku speaking to him as an inventation and stepped closer, pushing away from the doorframe and walking into the room. He set the bowl on the night stand beside the bed, and though Riku could feel how much closer he was now, he refused to turn and look at him. He didn't say anything more as he helped himself to the edge of the bed and sat down beside Riku who struggled a bit tiredly at the closeness, but really knew there was no use to it. Riku wished for nothing more than to disappear as he let his hands slump back from their struggle, still balled into fists. He knew it was useless to struggle at this point and that he should conserve his energy. Ansem leant forward and turned Riku's chin and brushed his bang from his eyes with his free hand, and Riku followed in an attempt to bite that hand. Ansem pinched the boys jaw, similar to the way he had done the night before and forced Riku to look up at him as Ansem tried to contain his own anger. His grip slackened a bit and he stopped the bruising force, but still held Riku's face lifted so that he had to stare into amber eyes.
"So is chaining me to a bed one of your sick fantasies?" Riku spit with venom, even as he realized how vulnerable he was in this position and momentarily he cursed himself for putting that thought into Ansem's mind if it wasn't already there.
Ansem simply gave a small smirk as he stroked Riku's jaw, taking note of the bruise where he'd struck him several times the night before and turning away to reach for the bowl. He wasn't worried about exposing his back to Riku, something that he would normally never do, but given the circumstances, he was confident it was no error. He knew the boy couldn't be trusted yet and that at any chance, Riku would just to lay a blow on him at any sign his guard was down. He grabbed the cloth from the bowl and wrung it out from the warm water it lay in.
"Yes." He said simply and turned back around to first brush the cloth along Riku's sweaty brow and over the bruised cheek. "But that's not why I'm here." He continued as he brought the cloth instead to Riku's bruised wrists and gently cleaned them in a soothing manner. He couldn't recall a time when he'd ever treated someone so gently, but this boy played a large part in his game and he would be lying to himself if he said he hadn't developed feelings for him.
"Then why are you here!" Riku suddenly screamed as if he couldn't take this gentle treatment and he pulled at the chains again, irritating his already swelling rights.
"You're such a child." Ansem said in distaste as he pulled back in order to avoid Riku's temper tantrum, although he was amused that Riku was baring the pain and still struggling to make his point even though he knew he'd never break those chains.
"You sexually harass me, abuse me, and chain me to a bed and I'm the child!" Riku screamed struggling still until he started to draw blood and his resistance seized.
"I wouldn't have to tie you down if you would listen to me. You know it yourself that you would run within seconds of seeing me." Ansem hissed as he threw the rag back into the water and watched as it sloshed upon the wooden nightstand and he stood from the bed, staring down at the boy panting there and glaring with as much hate as he could muster into those sea green eyes.
Riku simply scoffed and turned his head away in a rather childish manner, but his thoughts were far darker. 'And this is the part where he abuses me.' He thought to himself but knew better than to say it out loud. He was honestly to drained to withstand the beating those words would evoke, especially when he couldn't defend himself, so he bit his lip. Ansem let out a deep sigh at this, which drew Riku's attention back over to him curiously, but cautiously, though he was still angry and still attempting to glare. It looked as if Ansem was trying to compose himself and Riku watched in curiosity, deciding not to interrupt. The man's hand was pinching the bridge of his nose and his eyes were closed with his brows furrowed in concentration.
"I came here to apologize to you." He said as he pulled his hand away and opened his eyes. He moved back to the spot he was sitting at before at the edge of the bed beside Riku before continuing. "I wasn't angry with you, and I ended up taking it out on you anyways." He finished by bending down and placing a gentle kiss to Riku's forehead which Riku tried to avoid by squirming, but didn't struggle and yell, not wanting to upset Ansem again. With that Ansem pulled away and got up to leave.
"Wait." Riku called as Ansem's hand touched the doorknob and Ansem turned his head to look at the boy. "You can't leave me chained up like this!" He said with a bit of panic as he saw the glint in Ansem's eye and the small smirk on his lips.
"You have a concussion." His brow twitched slightly at the statement before continuing. "You are bed bond for the day, and you've never been good at following instructions." He smirked and turned back to the door, successfully opening it this time.
"Don't leave me!" Riku suddenly blurted out as a sheer panic rose in his chest at the thought of being left alone tied up like this.
Ansem froze and pulled away from the door to turn around again and look at Riku suspiciously. Riku turned away quickly, his cheeks burning, he was completely embarrassed and unable to believe he said what he thought he really just said to Ansem. Riku was trying to distract his mind from what he'd just said as he heard the soft click of the door closing and the sound of boots on the carpet. His head started to throb slightly and he realized that this was probably why he was tired so easily. A concussion, had he really not noticed? Ansem was on the bed again and a gloved hand was stroking his cheek softly.
"Don't leave you." He mocked as he continued to pet the cheek, but moved to card through Riku's silver hair in a strangely intimate way.
"If you're going to be an ass you can leave." Riku said testily as he tested the chains again, but didn't pull away from the stroking of his hair. It actually sort of felt nice, though he pretended to be distracted by the chains and not paying attention to the feeling whatsoever.
Ansem cupped the boys cheeks and forced him to focus back on his amber eyes as he stroked a gloved hand over his face and then brushed it over his lips. They were very close to each other now and the tension was thick with sexual desire. Ansem stroked his finger again over Riku's lips and watched as they parted slightly and he slipped the finger past to press against Riku's teeth.
"Bite down." He purred and watched as Riku began to comply. "And so help me if you bite me you will regret it." Ansem threatened even though Riku was being obedient and gently took the fabric between his teeth as Ansem pulled his hand away, to free it of the confines of the glove.
The glove fell from Riku's relaxed mouth and landed in his lap. Ansem's hand chased after it, but instead of picking the glove up, his hand traced Riku's inner thigh and travled up the length of it slowly. Riku stiffened and tried to kick his legs away and struggled against the restraints again. He was being agreeable, but he didn't plan on being molested and he certainly didn't plan to let this grope go. Ansem ignored the struggles and copped a bold feel at what was between Riku's legs and Riku gasped in surprised, pleasure, and horror, before struggling more. Ripping open the same cut he'd given himself before, blood poured down his arm and he didn't stop struggling.
"You bastard! Get the hell away from me!" He shrieked and grunted with pain, from his wrist and the unwanted advance.
"Behave and allow me to apologize properly." Ansem hissed into Riku's ear and he straddled the boy's legs and flicked open the button to his pants, even as Riku bucked and thrashed, still yelling for him to stop.
Riku suddenly remembered the last time Ansem apologized and his heart rate increased with the images his brain provided. At least he wasn't in the bath this time, he thought to himself, but he wasn't sure that the bed was much safer and suddenly he knew it wasn't as Ansem was trying to pull his pants down his hips now. His shirt was already pushed up to expose his naval and abs and he was panting with excitement and panic. He didn't want this, not like this.
"Ansem stop!" He said with as much authority as he could manage in his panicked plea.
"Why?" Ansem asked as he cocked his head to the side in mock puzzlement. "I thought you liked this." He continued as his hand found Riku's clothed sex and pulled him free of the confines of his pants. He bit down on the finger of his other gloved hand and pulled it free before continuing what he was doing by feeling the muscles of Riku's stomach first in contentment.
"Why the hell would I like it!" Riku struggled as violently as he could to get away, he could feel tears of terror starting to prick his eyes and his blood had fallen into his hair from his wrist.
He was panting and growling with his efforts and was near a mental breakdown, but Ansem just simply reached up and grabbed his chin, stilling his movements with his cold glare. Riku only paused momentarily though and still tried to struggle by throwing his shoulders, but he soon calmed down and glared back as at least the advances had stopped and he was starting to get tired again. Hell, he was still tired from before. He was out of breath and sweating, but his eyes never wavered from the cold amber before him. Ansem was a patient man, Riku noted, and a thought of terror hit him with that. They could probably be at this all day for Ansem to get what he wanted. His lips parted to take in air better and his vision got a little hazy, he could feel the sticky blood on the back of his neck and rolling down his shoulder.
"Because, my dearest Riku," Ansem started as he traced Riku's bottom lip with his finger and licked his own lips hungrily. "I've seen and heard you touch yourself at the thought of me." He stated with a cat like smile and that glint was back in those amber eyes.
Riku's own eyes widened in horror as he recalled the exact time he'd done such a thing and he cursed himself for being such an idiot. He recalled how he felt like he was being watched, and thought the feeling had initially unnerved him it had turned him on as well. So he really was being watched then. He fell unusually still and met Ansem's eyes. He was still breathing heavy, but no longer struggling, though he was incredibly uncomfortable, his blood trailed down his chest and over his nipple down to his naval. He managed a rather cold glare, but that part of him that always needed to have the last word stupidly spoke up then.
"How do you know that it was even you that I was thinking of." Riku replied with a straight face.
Ansem let out that predatory smile again that practically made Riku's heart jump into his throat and his breathing hitch. Ansem dipped his head and followed the thing trail of blood from his naval and up over his nipple where he nibbled slightly and then up to his collar bone where his hot breath brushed against his ear.
"You screamed my name." He hissed against the pale skin and he licked his lips savoring the taste of blood before biting down on Riku's throat. "And I want to make you do it again."
He pulled away to see Riku's stunned expression, and leaned forward to capture those unmoving lips. He forced entry into Riku's mouth with his tongue and explored the inside and the taste while he relished in the feel of victory for rendering Riku silent. Riku seemed to gather himself quickly though and he turned his head to the side to break the kiss and downcast his eyes.
"Don't." He said softly.
Ansem respected his sudden mood swing and didn't pursue him further. He was glad to know that Riku at least wasn't denying what he'd done, but knew that the boy was nowhere close to accepting this sort of relationship from him. So he gently kissed Riku's cheek, which he didn't pull away from and he moved off of Riku, tucking him back into his pants and pulling his shirt back down for him, before reaching up and unlocking the chains binding his hands above his head. Surprisingly, Riku just allowed his hands to drop at his sides, making no other movement and that's when Ansem knew that he had pushed too far too soon.
He gathered Riku to his chest and lay them both down along the bed. Now that he was paying more attention, he could see how badly the boy had injured himself and he frowned, pressing his lips to Riku's forehead and reaching up to stroke silver hair, blood matted and all.
"Rest Riku. I won't do anything more." He said softly and kissed the boy's forehead again, continuing to stroke his hair as Riku complied without argument and fell asleep resting against Ansem's chest. Ansem sighed heavily, continuing to pet Riku lovingly and enjoying the moment he knew wouldn't last. He wanted Riku to willingly lay with him this way, and that need drove him to silently make a vow to take Riku's heart and claim it for himself. There was no need to throw the boy away, once he broke him.
