Time goes by so slowly.
Axel groaned, sitting up. He winced at the sudden pain across his arms and face, and fell back down roughly on the cot.
Fuck.
Several minutes went by as he waited for the ache to go away. It didn't. But it died down a little.
Blue-green eyes fluttered in the dim room. Where am I?
He looked around, his eyes falling on a cot next to him, cotton sheets spilling onto the floor. A breif image flashed to his mind from earlier: Cloud and Reno.
Oh yeah. The nurses office. Fuck, Barbie made his escape and just left me?
Growling lowly, Axel made a mental note to get revenge later. Now he had to focus on the task at hand. He had to get home.
Alive.
He decided to just run, make everything as short and quick as possible. So he gathered up courage for a few moments.
Aw, fuck, this is gonna hurt.
He wrenched up and hauled ass out the door, down the hall, slamming into the front doors.
Locked.
The redhead's teeth grinded together in pain he hadn't thought possible. His eyes stared angrily down at the cuts on his body. Who the fuck did this?
His eyes fell shut, and he tried to remember, his body sinking back against the door until he was just a heap on the ground.
A hand clapped over his mouth, and an arm wrapped around his stomach in a bone-crushing grip. Axel thrashed around, kicking back with his steel-toed shoe into the figure behind him, but the grip wasn't even weakened. He just fell down with whoever was holding him. Growling, the redhead screamed against the hand, licking and biting, but it wouldn't budge. He rolled over, and the body rolled with him. Axel wormed around and stared up, terrified. A flash of soft brown.
There was a ripping sound, and then a fabric stretched before his eyes. He squinted, desperately thrashing. Then something blunt hit him hard in the back of the skull.
Dizziness swept through him and the redhead limpened, his vision hazy, and then black.
He groaned, his hand running through his blazing red hair, nicking over the bruise where he'd been hit. It ached. Really really bad.
He clawed at the floor, dragging himself to one of the chairs by the door, curled up, and passed out.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Reno spasmed awake, gasping. "WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!"
Rude popped his head into the room, grinning like an idiot. "God damn, Reno!"
The redhead frowned, "What?" His heart was pounding hard.
"THAT'S what gets you up? I tried everything else. The alarm clock first, then I bashed it against your head. Then I poured water on your head..."
Reno ran his hands through his hair. Yup, wet.
"THEN I yelled, 'SPIDER!'. I blasted music in your ear," This would explain the ringing, "And I even played fucking porn turned up at full-volume, in your ear. NOTHING gets you up."
Reno frowned, and stared down. "Wow, you're right."
Rude frowned. "Coulda been cause it was straight porn. Fucking faggot."
"How about I fag your face off?"
The other frowned in confused silence. He left. Reno snickered.
Wow, I really must be gay, then.
Sighing, he yawned, and shook his hair out, even though it didn't make much difference.
He trudged downstairs, tucked his books (messily stuffed with papers) under his arm, walking to school despite his growling stomach.
Today was gonna be a long day.
Cid crossed his arms. "Damn. How long he been out?" Leon stared at Axel, worried.
"I don't want to know. The nurses - they didn't even wrap his cuts." Aerith squeezed the brunettes hand soothingly.
"He'll be okay, I don't see anything fatal done... He won't be feeling too good though. The pain must be exhausting him, for him to have passed out like that..." She frowned down at the unconscious teenager sadly.
"What if this keeps happening? Shouldn't the police be doing something?" Cid sighed, his eyes shining.
"Fuck. I need a smoke." He stormed out, obviously hurt. He had a sort of friendship with Axel. They both liked to curse, and smoke, and they got along pretty well. Leon frowned after the blonde sadly.
"Zexion's been feeling better, at least. He can talk coherently now." Aerith's eyes flashed.
"Thats good to hear, I suppose..."
Leon sighed. "But Roxas, he's doing horribly. his cut reopened, and it stung so badly he started crying. But then the salt in his tears hit the cut, and..." He paled considerably. "I don't feel so good, Aerith." Her hand rubbed circles between his shoulder blades.
"Who do you think could be doing it, Leon?" His head shook sadly,
"I couldn't have a clue... They didn't leave any traces or hints to give any direction towards anybody."
"Y'know, students are saying it was Saix..." Leons eyes widened, and he stared at the girl.
"Thats impossible, though. Saix was with me and Paine, when this happened to Axel. Oh, and you should've seen... The poor boy was practically bawling when he heard about Zexion..." Aerith smiled in sympathy.
"Poor child. This really does have to stop..." There was an understanding silence as they stared at the teenager sprawled out on the teacher's lounge couch, a cool towel on his hot forehead.
Cloud stared with half-lidded eyes at the chalkboard. Class was so utterly boring - he could cry. But, nah, better not to further ruin his image.
Tifa was glaring at him. The blonde didn't mind. She'll cool down eventually. And then we can still hang, or whatever.
"Cloud, are you paying attention?" He shook his head slowly.
Where is Reno?
"Well, start." He nodded, just as slowly.
He's at least twenty minutes late...
Cloud was getting worried. Which was very much so in his character, but this was like, abnormally worried.
Is it abnormal? You like him, a lot.
"Cloud?" He snapped his head up and looked at the teacher numbly.
"Cloud, pay attention. Are you tired or something?" The blonde shook his head, and looked down.
"Maybe you should go to the nurse. Your eyes are glazed over." Cloud stared at the teacher. Long blonde hair, and glasses. She actually seemed concerned.
Wierd. He'd never even noticed she worked here. Or anywhere. Must be new.
Sighing, he gave in, and accepted the nurse pass stretched out to him, trudging down the halls.
She probably only sent me here because of the bruises. Must not have faded at all.
Even if he really didn't want to, he walked into the nurses office he had oh-so-recently escaped, and sat down on the cot. Axel was there, on the one next to him. He seemed worse off than yesterday.
Poor guy.
