"I love you, and I, I'm sorry I haven't done a good job at showing it. I've just been so scared. You've always been outside of my league." Riku gave a shy frown.
"Prez, you can't seriously believe that!" Axel asked in surprise.
"Axel think about it! You're richer than the owner of this academy without even saving a penny and you're incredibly smart with incredible athletic abilities and insane good looks." Riku started.
"You, you think I'm insanely good looking?" Axel asked with a smirk.
"Well, yeah, I mean look at you." Riku answered with an honest smile before he frowned. "I could never keep up with you."
"Prez what are you talking about, that's ridiculous! I mean you're way smarter than me, a great soccer player, I mean you're the freaking President Prez! I don't even deserve to say your name." Axel shrugged with a pathetic smile.
"I don't even remember hearing it." Riku frowned.
"I'm not worthy." Axel said as truthfully as he could.
"To be honest, I, I, I'd love to hear you say it." Riku shrugged with a shy smile.
"You would?" Axel asked curiously.
"Yeah, I would." Riku blushed as Axel leaned closer to the silver haired boy.
"Anything you ask for, Riku." Axel uttered as slowly and huskily as possible. A shiver went down Riku's spine as Axel's warm voice slipped into his ears and buzzed inside his head before traveling through his veins.
"Say it again," Riku begged, his head nudging closer to Axel, taking refuge with his nose to the redheads neck as he inhaled the soft scent of fresh crème skin.
"My Riku." Axel whispered with his arms circling Riku's waist.
"Axel." Riku closed his eyes, comfortable and content, wishing the world would pause so he could enjoy every passing second unashamed and free from all the confusion that once troubled his heart.
"You're so cute, Riku. Mmm, now that I started saying your name I can't stop, Riku. Riku. God it's such a beautiful name. Just like its owner; Riku." Axel smiled proudly. "You're so beautiful Riku." Axel kissed Riku's temple.
"Axel," Riku blushed. "You, you aren't ashamed of me, are you?" Riku knew it was a ridiculous question; one to which the answer he already knew, but he still had to ask.
"Of course not!" Axel said with as much seriousness as ever. "What is there to be ashamed of? You're beautiful, intelligent, hard working,"
"Poor," Riku added to Axel's list.
"Prez," Axel let out a comforting sigh.
"I can take the most valuable possession I own and I'd still have nothing in comparison to your waste basket." Riku said as plainly and honestly as he could.
"Prez, the most valuable possession you own, is you." Axel smiled. "Not all of the munny in this world could amount for half of what you'd be worth. But I'd gladly give up everything my family owns if it meant having a shot to be by your side." Axel ran his thumb down Riku's cheek.
"I'm just scared. What if, what if we did go back to being…like before," Riku gulped, "And your family doesn't approve. I wouldn't be able to blame them." Riku shrugged understandingly.
"Nonsense." Axel shook his head.
"Axel, think about it. You're supposed to marry a responsible, important, rich woman who will let you continue your family's name with pride and dignity. All I can give you is, me." Riku shrugged.
"How many times do I need to tell you that that is more than I could ever ask for?" Axel asked with a sincere smile.
"Your parents won't allow it." Riku shook his head.
"They have Kairi to carry on their name." Axel shrugged.
"They'll disown you." Riku wanted to address the issue if only Axel would realize it.
"Then so be it, I don't care. I already lost you once. I won't endure such a pain a second time." Axel looked straight into Riku's eyes.
"I won't let you do that." Riku whispered back.
"What would you have me do, Prez?"
"I, I won't have you throw away your life and your family for me."
"It doesn't matter." Axel shrugged.
"Yes it does," Riku pressed.
"Look, Prez, it's my family. Let me handle it, ok?" Axel tried to sound caring as he spoke.
"Ok." Riku agreed with a whisper.
It went quiet before Riku sighed.
"Axel, I think there's one more thing we should talk about that's been bothering me." Riku rubbed the back of his neck.
"Ok, what is it?" Axel asked curiously.
"Before I say what I want to talk about, I want you to know that I do care about you, and I don't want our conversation to change things. I mean, we worked hard just to get here." Riku tried to smile to compensate in advance.
"What's on your mind?" Axel asked a bit timid.
"About our campaigns, what now?" Riku wondered aloud.
"What do you recommend?"
"Why, why don't we just continue as we are and let the school decide?" Riku shrugged.
"Ok I can agree on that." Axel smiled.
"But, we shouldn't let the school know about us, since, it'll conflict with our positions." Riku gulped.
"Yeah, that makes sense. If we're dating and Sora and Roxas are dating and we're all on opposite teams it'll just look like a joke." Axel nodded.
"But after the election," Riku bit his lip.
"No matter who wins, we still try to make it work?" Axel proposed.
"I'd like that." Riku grinned.
"Or," Axel thought aloud.
"Or?" Riku wondered.
"We could date, now, just, we won't tell anyone until enough time has passed after the elections."
"That could work." Riku blushed.
"Yeah? So, we're, we're a couple?" Axel asked nervously with hopeful eyes.
"Yeah," Riku whispered shakily.
"I'm so lucky. By far the happiest person alive." Axel hugged Riku and kissed his temple.
"Thank you, for always treating me so wonderfully." Riku held onto Axel's arms.
"Thank you for being so wonderful in return." Axel smiled.
"I, I'm actually kind of sad we have to keep this a secret." Riku admitted shyly.
"Why's that?" Axel wanted to hear the boy's reasoning.
"Because I still don't know why someone like you loves someone like me, but I'm very happy." Riku smiled.
"You're just too cute for words." Axel chuckled. "I love you more than you'll ever know. And I am so glad you're happy because it makes me happy to know that I can put a smile on the face of someone as perfect as you." Axel took Riku's hand and massaged it gently.
"I, I can't believe it took us this long but," Riku searched for the words, "thank you." Riku smiled.
"Awww, you're so sweet. So sexy." Axel nudged his nose further into Riku's neck, releasing a giggle from the silverrete.
"Hey!" Riku laughed.
"Baby," Axel squeezed his arms. "I love my sexy boyfriend." Axel let out a happy sigh.
"It's nice, to be able to talk to you like this." Riku confessed.
"Yeah, so much drama out of the way now that we're honest with each other."
" I'm glad we settled everything." Riku let out a sigh of relief.
"Just one more thing," Axel coughed.
"What?"
"Well, what are we going to do about, about Seifer?" Axel gulped nervously as Riku trembled.
"As President, I will take it upon myself to follow standard protocol without exposing the specifics of the incident." Riku nodded understandingly.
"Thank you." Axel rubbed Riku's back, as if to demonstrate his loving support.
The two continued their secret relationship for nearly a month before the election was nearing. Every day they'd work separately in their offices, Axel continued his lighthearted flirting in front of the soccer team as if to show that nothing had changed, and after everyone went to bed the two would spend time together. Axel agreed to let Riku take all the time he needed to move past Seifer's actions, and the harmless cuddling was more than enough for the redhead as it was.
Then, just a week before the official elections, the two had their first fight as a couple. It all started after soccer practice when Sora met up with Roxas and the rest of the team who began to discuss the election.
"I want to ask who everyone's voting for, but I think that's probably not a good idea." Demyx scratched his head considering both competitors were his captains.
"Well I guess it depends if you want to see change or if you like how things are." Hayner shrugged.
"Or if you want a President who is hard working and strict and formal, or one that is laid back and chill and informal." Roxas gave his interpretations.
"Riku isn't strict, he's wise." Sora stood up for his best friend, who smiled in his thanks.
"He's kind of strict but it works." Pence added.
"He's sexy." Axel winked as Riku blushed.
"Lucky for him he isn't wearing those spandex again, the tight ones that barely go mid thigh," Hayner chuckled.
"OH yeah I remember! He wore those on that super windy day!" Roxas agreed.
"I kept reminding him about his laundry," Sora shook his head.
"Ok guys, come on, let's give Prez a break. True his adorabeleness knows no end, but let's find someone else to bag on." Axel gave a small chuckle.
"Oh, I know!" Roxas snapped. "Does anyone know what happened to Seifer?" Roxas asked and Riku flinched. Axel saw out of the corner of his eyes but cleared his throat to try to distract the others who seemed to have noticed too. "Riku, I'm sure you know." Roxas pressed for information.
"Yes, but he can't even tell me and I'm the one who had to move Seifer out last week from the Housing office. It's a breach of the confidentiality he's sworn to as President." Axel saved Riku's ass with his quick, witty lie.
"Oh, that sucks." Roxas frowned.
"I know what happened." Hayner smirked.
"How?" Demyx asked.
"Seifer and I always had a complicated friendship, which was more like an 'enemy-ship', but Pence overheard Rai a little while back when it was all happening."
"Spill!" Roxas was curious.
"Well, you know the main rumor's that have been going around?" Hayner asked and everyone, except for Riku, nodded.
"Wait, you mean the one's about how he failed out of too many classes and got kicked out?" Sora put a finger to his chin.
"No, he means the one where his dad gambled away too much money and he had to drop out, right?" Demyx asked.
"I heard he brought a gun to school and had it hidden in his dorm all along." Roxas shrugged.
"None of those are true. Truth is, it wasn't Seifer's fault!" Hayner whispered as a result of the drama behind his gossip.
"Oh, do tell!" Demyx begged impatiently.
"Well, what I remember Pence saying, is that Seifer was being targeted!" Hayner nodded to illustrate his honesty.
"Who would dare target the biggest bully at TTA?" Sora put his hands to his mouth.
"No one knows. Pence said it was never stated, but Rai made it seem like he was being…haunted."
"You're lying!" Roxas scoffed.
"I swear I'm not! Apparently, every time Rai saw Seifer, he had new bruises, but couldn't explain them! And then, he would hear voices, threats in his sleep!"
"Ghosts at TTA?!" Sora jumped as Roxas held him extra tightly.
"You serious?" Roxas couldn't believe it, but Hayner was his best friend besides Axel.
"Dead serious. Rai said that Seifer was getting paranoid, and he couldn't even sleep or eat or think because he was constantly in pain and he walked around like he was scared of being attacked, even in broad daylight." Hayner gulped.
"Damn," Roxas shook his head.
"Is it just me or is everyone else spooked?" Demyx shivered.
"So he left because he was being haunted?" Roxas asked, to be sure.
"Well, Rai said that the hauntings were getting to him, but then, the ghost or whatever, actually tried to kill him!" Hayner's eyes went wide with honesty.
"No!"
"What?"
"How?"
"He was walking through the locker room after his P.E. class when all the lights shut off and the doors locked. Then, out of nowhere, he was attacked with soccer balls."
"Bull shit!" Roxas doubted yet again.
"Dude, you know I wouldn't fuck around."
"Soccer balls?" Demyx asked with a gulp.
"Yeah," Hayner resumed where he left off. "Like, he couldn't run or anything, he was just being pelted with soccer balls before he was somehow shoved into an overnight locker, you know, the long ones? He texted Rai to save him, and he had to wait two hours in that locker before the locker room doors unlocked for Rai to get in. Apparently Seifer was really shaken up." Hayner shrugged.
"That wouldn't kill anyone," Roxas shook his head.
"That's not the worst part," Hayner put up a finger.
"What is?" Sora bit his lip nervously.
"Apparently this ghost wanted him out of here real bad, cause, while he was walking back to his dorm at night, it pushed him down the giant flight of stairs in Keyblade building."
"Keyblade building?" Roxas gulped. The building was named so because its where the housing office was, thus, it was where all of the spare keys were kept safe in case students got locked out of their dorms.
"Yeah! And what's worse is that the ghost spoke!"
"What did it say?" Demyx put a hand to his Mohawk in anticipation.
"It told Seifer that he had a week to resign from the school, or he would take his life." Hayner's own voice shook with his sincere fear as the rest of the boys gulped and trembled, save for Axel.
"Hahahaha!" Axel couldn't contain his laughter.
"What, you don't believe me?" Hayner was offended.
"Seriously? A ghost with soccer balls and a death threat?" Axel scoffed with a shake of the head. "It's going to take more than a testimony from Rai's stupid mouth before I believe such fallacies."
"Well I think it's true." Hayner stood up proudly. "And I'm looking to find this ghost."
"You want to find it?" Sora tilted his head.
"Yep! Pence and I are going to scare the ghost that scared the biggest bully this school has ever seen!" Hayner explained. "One of the greatest mysteries of this place and we're going to be the ones to solve it and be hero's!" Hayner pointed to his chest.
"Our school is haunted?" Demyx bit his fingernails.
"Oh relax, our school is not haunted." Axel rolled his eyes.
"How can you be sure?" Hayner scratched his chin.
"Well, for one, why would the ghost go through all the trouble of tormenting Seifer if he wanted him gone that badly? I mean, it would make more sense for a ghost with that kind of power to make the threat once and scare him for good. Only a human would seek petty torture for fun." Axel shrugged, causing Riku to break out of his shell.
"You mean, revenge?" Riku grumbled with more anger than curiosity.
"Well, I mean," Axel put his hands up.
"No, I think ghosts like to mess with humans, cause they'd think it'd be fun." Sora nodded, as if he knew for certain.
"Why didn't the ghost just kill him?" Demyx asked.
"That's what I'm wondering." Axel chuckled.
"All I know is that we're cursed, and Seifer was the first of us, so be on the lookout for ghost and report to me with any findings." Hayner warned everyone before he left.
"Well, I have to study with my sexy nerd boyfriend! See you guys later." Demyx gulped before he left as well.
"Roxy, you, you be careful if you're working in a haunted building, ok?" Sora asked with true concern.
"I will baby." Roxas kissed Sora's nose. "We'll catch you two later. Bye!" Roxas took Sora's hand and left the courtyard.
"Soooo," Axel coughed after two whole minutes of silence.
"Unbelievable." Riku shook his head.
"I know right? I can't believe they think this place is haunted." Axel laughed.
"No, I meant you!" Riku whispered harshly with a playful slap to Axel's arm.
"Ow, hey,"
"You told me that you would be satisfied if I gave Seifer a private and confidential letter of resignation!"
"I was satisfied! But satisfied doesn't mean happy, so I took matters into my own hands and made myself happy. Didn't you say, that as my boyfriend, you want me happy?" Axel winced.
"Idiot! You could have been ratted out!"
"He wasn't going to rat me out. He was terrified of me." Axel bragged.
"How do you know?" Riku wondered if he wanted to know.
"Well, whenever he saw me he started begging for mercy, and I wouldn't even land my first punch before I had him crying." Axel grinned.
"You hit him?"
"Yep, I told you I was going to."
"Yeah but then you promised not to."
"No, what I believe I promised was that I would be alright if you handled the private matters. Doesn't mean I can't have matters of my own." Axel shrugged.
"What did you do to him?" Riku shook his head disapprovingly.
"Well, I hit him several times, kicked his balls a good amount, ummm, I gave him a black eye, oh! Oh I changed the lock on his door!" Axel cracked up laughing while Riku waited grumpily for the outburst to end. "So he was locked out of his own room for hours while I put the 'absent' sign on my office door. Then, when I switched it to 'open', I beat him up again. I never got to make him piss himself though, shame."
"Did you really lock him in the locker room?"
"Yep. That was tricky though. See, I had to change the lock on his locker so that I could ensure that he'd be the last and only person in the entire locker room. Then I had to lock the doors with my master key set, and then after I roughed him up, I shoved him in the locker."
"Axel," Riku sighed.
"I never threw soccer balls at him though. Well, hmm, I think I threw one, to get his attention at the beginning. Got him right in the nuts." Axel smiled.
"Axel!" Riku frowned.
"I never pushed him down a flight of stairs. Truth is I threatened to rip his balls off and he ran and as I chased after he tripped and fell on his own. But I mean it all worked out for me so I guess it doesn't matter." Axel shrugged contently.
"I can't believe you!" Riku put a hand to his head.
"Look, I, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I knew you wouldn't understand and wouldn't approve. But Riku, I, I needed to."
"No, you didn't." Riku shook his head, his eyes watering slightly. "You're a monster Axe,"
Axel's eyes widened before he took Riku's hand softly in his own. "What makes me a greater monster? Hitting someone who's guilty of abuse and torture? Or letting someone who abused my love walk free? You're right, my actions probably weren't the wisest, and I can see how you don't think they were needed. But Riku," Axel looked away for a brief moment. "Riku, I couldn't just let him go free. Every night, when you fall asleep in my arms, I stay up, because you jitter and shake so much, I worry. And I know it's because of what Seifer did. I, I know that I'm willing to wait however long is necessary before we can be intimate, and please, by all means, take your time healing. I just, I wish we could be on our own pace. Instead, it feels like we're on Seifer's pace, waiting for his scars to heal from your body. I, I want to be selfish Riku. I want you to myself!" Axel squeezed Riku's hands as the president nodded.
"I never told you about the nightmares," Riku whispered, as if in disbelief.
"You didn't have to. I can feel it by the way that you tremble in your innocent sleep." Axel frowned.
"Does it really keep you up?" Riku couldn't help but worry.
"I don't mind." Axel shrugged.
"I'm sorry." Riku apologized.
"Don't be. I want to take care of you." Axel smiled.
"Thank you, for watching over me," Riku still didn't agree with Axel's decisions, but he did find it admirable to an extent. Axel pulled Riku in close, rubbing his back as he swayed gently from side to side.
"I love you,"
Riku kept his hands on Axel's shoulders as he looked up. "I love you too. Just please, no more of this bully nonsense?"
"You have my word." Axel gave Riku a sturdy closed lip kiss before the two said goodbye to carry out their duties.
When the day before the election came, Sora was panicking more than Riku.
"Are you sure we've done all we can? I mean I know it's too late now but gosh I just hope we didn't forget anything. And I know we'll win but what if we don't? And if we do what about Roxy? Oh he'll be so sad, I'll have to find a way to make it up to him," Sora bit his lip as he rambled in Riku's office.
"Well I'm sure either way you guys will end up having sex." Riku smirked as Sora blushed darkly.
"Hey!" Sora bit his lip.
"You know it's true." Riku chuckled.
"What are you going to do? To celebrate?"
"Sora the students haven't even voted yet!" Riku didn't want to get ahead of himself.
"I know, but as of this time tomorrow, we'll be partying our victory away. I can just feel it." Sora smiled, until a knock came at the door.
"I know it's the day before the election but," Roxas peered his head in the office after slowly opening the door. "Is it ok?"
"Sure." Riku shrugged as Sora smiled.
"Prez, I'd like to speak with you." Axel bowed respectfully.
"Oh what is it?" Riku sat back down in his chair behind his wooden desk. Axel turned to Roxas, who motioned to Sora that the two of them should leave. After getting permission from Riku, Sora left with his boyfriend and waited outside.
"What's wrong?" Riku asked as Axel sat on the other side of Riku's desk.
"Prez, I know I promised you I'd never ask again, but, just one more time before tomorrow," Axel sighed. "Prez, stand down."
"What are you talking about?" Riku knew but didn't want to show it.
"I know you think you can win this on your own, but Prez, please, drop out of the race before it's too late." Axel gave a guilty frown.
"Axel if you want to keep this relationship I suggest you leave." Riku looked down to his desk. How? How could his own boyfriend not support him? Axel nodded with a quiet sigh.
"I'm sorry I aggravated you. Please know I still love and respect you mightily." Axel stood up, bowed to the waist, and prepared to leave until Riku stopped him.
"Axel," Riku grabbed his wrist. "Why?"
"Because you are my boyfriend and you're smart and sweet and,"
"No," Riku shook his head. "Why do you insist I drop out of the race?"
Axel looked away and then smiled. "No reason, my President. It was foolish of me to ever bring up. I'd wish you luck but I'm sure you won't need it in the slightest. Get some rest." Axel smiled politely.
"Why are you talking that way? It's just us." Riku shook his head.
"You still deserve my respect. Now, I shall retire and let my beautiful boyfriend get his much needed rest." Axel kissed Riku's cheek and took a step away.
"I love you." Riku said longingly before Axel paused. The redhead let out a chuckle.
"I love you too baby." Axel kissed Riku's lips gently.
"Thank you, for the kiss." Riku blushed at such a statement.
"If you'd ever like another, you know where to," Axel started but was interrupted when Riku pressed his lips to Axel's. Riku claimed dominance by forcing his tongue in Axel's mouth, loving the way the redhead gasped in shock. Axel didn't expect such dominance, but grinned through it.
"Good luck tomorrow." Riku pulled back from the kiss with a sincere smile.
"Thank you Prez." Axel couldn't help but give a goofy grin in his happy embarrassment. Riku had just topped him in a kiss and he loved it far too much to ever reveal.
"Could you let Sora back in?"
"Of course." Axel nodded as he left.
"You ok?" Sora asked Riku once the moment had normalized and they returned to their desks.
"Yeah, I'm great." Riku smiled.
"Awww, you really do like him, don't you. Roxas almost doubted but I knew it all along!"
"What?" Riku wanted to look oblivious.
"Oh come on, I know you and Axel are going to end up dating soon." Sora winked as Riku gulped.
"Well," He didn't want to reveal his secret.
"It's ok, when the time is right." Sora nodded.
"Right," Riku tried to doge the bullet. After they finished the last minute office work, Riku went to his dorm to get as much sleep as he could. He and Axel agreed that considering the circumstances they would sleep in their own rooms that night, but Riku couldn't help but notice just how cold he felt. When he woke up after a long night, he went to the auditorium, anxiously waiting as the students gathered inside.
"Riku! Are you ready?" Sora asked, jittering on the stage. He and Riku had special seats at one end while Roxas and Axel were at the other. The students, from their seats, got to vote via an electronic remote; this made for immediate results and less time waiting in wonder.
"I'm so nervous I could puke." Riku put a hand to his head.
"Don't be. We planned well, we worked hard, and no matter what, we had a good year. That's all that matters." Sora smiled positively as the early students started voting. The numbers were being counted yet hidden until every registered student had voted.
Riku looked over to Axel, nervous, scared, and sad. No matter who won, it'd feel like losing. Axel gave a professional smile back as more students continued to vote. The last remaining boys were selecting their primary choice when Riku shook his head.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"I should have listened." Riku whispered.
"What?"
"I, I should have dropped out." Riku shook his head with his hands cradling it.
"Don't talk that way; we'll be just fine." Sora remained positive.
Riku once again looked over to Axel, who glanced back and winked just before a bell went off.
"The final votes are in." Sora went up to the podium at the front and center of the stage, in front of the entire student body. "We will reveal the winner of this year's election and next year's Presidency, and then we will hear a speech from the victor. After, the runner up will deliver their speech and then you will all be dismissed to the informal party being held in the cafeteria with cake, sparkling apple cider, and treats." Sora smiled. He clicked some buttons on his control panel on the podium before clearing his throat. "And now if you will all guide your attention to the screen," Sora turned around to the giant screen behind Riku and Axel. "The winner of this year's election, the individual who will be our President for the next two terms,"
Riku held his breath and looked to Axel, who had his neck turned to look behind him, anxious and nervous.
"Congratulations to," Sora clicked the button before the four letter name came up on the screen.
Author's Note: Oh, you didn't think I'd actually give you the answer when this is the perfect place for the end of the chapter? Originally I had rearranged the story so that this was the end, but I figured too many people would want an answer so I changed it up and well, the next chapter will have the answer. However, the next chapter will be THE END OF THE STORY!
I know, so sad, I shall miss this story dearly. But I have to start the sequel to A Taste of Loneliness, not to mention continue The Animal Inside, work on Always Getting Involved, and at least three other stories I've started but haven't posted.
