To say that Axel was shocked by Roxas' medical report would be a massive understatement. He knew that the kid had problems but he didn't really realise the extent until they were in black and white. For one, he had no idea about the lack of feeling in his hands and he hadn't really noticed that they were so rough. He had no idea about his reflexes and certainly hadn't a clue about his sex life. So from the report he had discovered that not only had the kid had it rough to the point where he had either really bad or really good reflexes, was underweight and covered in scars, but he also wasn't as innocent as he looked.
Axel hadn't really thought about the boy's sexual condition. He just sort of assumed that the boy was still a virgin or near enough... I mean he's sixteen, how much could he get up to?
But apparently not, and this just made Axel even more curious about him. Axel and Roxas sat in the sitting room, Roxas lay flat out on the carpet in front of the fire and Axel sat browsing through his medical report, reiterating it back to him.
"Over a dozen burns (cigarette) on torso and over eighteen same burns on both arms... countless bruises all over upper body and numerous scabs which are certainly intentional. Looking almost like claw marks or knife wounds and scar to the left side about eight inches long, unbeknownst cause... I swear he attended med school." Roxas smiled and looked up at Axel.
"He does sound a bit... nerdy." Axel smiled and sipped his water.
"Ha! Yeah I know Roxie..." he flicked over a page or two and then started with the questions Roxas had answered.
"Sexually active in the last six months... Yes, been checked for STI's... No, practise safe-sex... No, any difficulty breathing... No, any dizziness etc... No, tingling etc... No... Allergies etc... No, anal sex... yes blah, blah fucking blah! God is all that really necessary?" Axel watched the blonde flick through the magazine in front of him and he looked up at Axel and smiled a little nervously.
Axel smiled.
"You did answer all the questions truthfully right?" he asked, a little nervous about the boy's reply. Roxas nodded.
"Yeah why?" he asked and Axel shook his head, smiling.
"Making sure that's all... it's important that you did. I know they're awkward questions to answer and everything and you don't really want to admit some of the stuff but, I'm proud you did." Roxas smiled and stood up, sitting beside Axel and nuzzling under his arm, that draped affectionately around his shoulders.
"It was so weird, I had no idea half of what he was saying... it all sounded so technical." Axel laughed a little at the boy's comment.
"Well you've done the things you should at least know what they're called and stuff." Roxas fidgeted slightly and Axel squeezed him.
"I'm glad I'm here though, I'd never want to go back there, not now... promise you won't send me back?" Roxas turned to Axel with his azure eyes and Axel kissed his forehead.
"What back to Trex?" he asked, a little confused. Roxas turned away.
"And the other place... I wouldn't be able to handle going back there again... not after everything..." Roxas stopped and smiled at Axel.
"Sorry, I go on." He told him with a smile and Axel shook his head.
"I don't mind... do you remember what it was like, the place I mean?" Roxas nodded his head, his eyes saddened.
"Like it was yesterday. I can remember everything about that place... its funny how you always remember the bad things isn't it?" Axel smiled and stroked Roxas' hair lovingly. He knew he was right, people always tended to remember the bad things in their life and not really the good.
"I guess it's harder to forget about the bad times than the good ones." He replied and Roxas nodded.
"Yeah but it's sad. I'm loving it so much here and I want to be able to remember every second." Axel cupped Roxas' face in his hands and stroked his cheeks gently.
"You will Roxas, you will." He whispered and Roxas sat up a little.
"I never want to leave here Sir, please promise you won't make me leave, I beg you..."
"Shh, you don't need to beg me for anything... you're staying here and that's that... and damn it will you stop calling me sir any day soon?" Roxas blushed a little and Axel moved in, planting a small kiss on the boy's already red cheeks and making him blush even more.
"That's it, everytime you call me Sir, I'm going to make you blush..." Roxas smiled and shook his head.
"You can't do that!" Axel nodded his head.
"Oh yes I can Roxie. I can do whatever I want." Roxas smiled and lay back down on Axel's chest, drifting to sleep.
Roxas dreamt.
He dreamt that he was back in that place, that cold and dark, dim place with those people. But this was different, Axel was there. And he was calling him, telling him the same as what the others had told him. He was nothing, he was worthless, he didn't deserve his time... everything that Roxas feared was happening right now and he couldn't do anything about it.
Axel noticed Roxas flinching in his sleep and gently woke him. A dazed and startled Roxas shot up and swallowed hard.
"Hey blondie, another nightmare?" Axel asked and Roxas nodded silently. Axel smiled at him sympathetically and stroked his hair. Roxas flinched slightly.
"Right come on, dinner will be ready in a minute, we better get going." He said and with that they headed to the dining room.
