I dont own kingdom hearts and all that stuffffff xD


The bluenette looked over to see the little kitten trying to climb up the sofa, seeing as her 'mum' was too busy.
Rolling his eyes before helping her up and letting her sit beside him.

Zexion tilted his head at the kitten as she climbed up onto his stomach. Curious little thing she was. Being cautious as he petted her head and along down her back. "Cute." Though he wouldn't tell anyone he said that.

Roxas finally shifted as Zexion called the cat cute, fast asleep but almost as a reaction upon hearing another voice, though the shot of agonizing and brutal pain that shot up his arm was enough to wake him up with a groan, curling up and swearing mentally at the pain.

Zexion's eyes widened. 'Oh he's awake!' Straight away he acted on Demyx's orders. But first he went and got a glass of water before settling at his side.

"Here. This will help." Handing out the pill.

Instead of doing what he might've before and taken the pill without complaint, the blonde only silently shook his head, curling up stubbornly. He didn't want help. He wanted to feel pain, if it was all he could understand than he wanted that. The betrayal made no sense, either did the fear, pain… unlike all the times before when Axel came begging for his forgiveness he was completely alone. He was scared…

Huffing at the stubborn teen. "Roxas there's no need to suffer in pain. Axel wouldn't want you to!"
Axel wouldn't want him to? The blonde just tensed up at the message, eyes widening in shock. Wouldn't… But Axel caused him pain… Hang on his eyes! "It wasn't him, was it?" Eyes almost begging as he finally spoke, looking over his shoulder at Zexion. Please say it was true… give him a reason to have this fear go away…

Zexion nodded. He wasn't sure if he should tell him this but Roxas every right to know. "I discovered the cause to it... Roxas... Axel- He was drugged." Whispering out the last few words.

Drugged… he was drugged… The blonde just went pale as he moved around and sat up, staring at the floor in shock. "Drugged?" Voice barely a whisper though it was almost forced out of his throat. Than it was an accident! He wasn't in control! But than…

"Why did he leave me…?" Roxas bit his lip with the question, not sure he wanted to know the answer. Why would he…? If it was an accident he wasn't angry! He just… wanted to know why…

Zexion stiffened. "He... He said he's going to find them..." Looking away from the teen, he felt so bad for him.
Roxas sank back slightly into the couch, still staring at the ground. Said he was going to get him? What if he never found Axel? What if he never saw him again? After everything they went through Axel was just going to walk out of his life forever without so much as a goodbye or reason why?

Zexion rubbed his temple before sighing. "Hey don't worry about him. He'll be back." Then sitting them onto Roxas' lap. "Until then. You have to take these. Demyx's instructed me to tell you, you have to take them."

"But I…" He had to take them, had no choice in the matter and he was just causing problems. Seemed to be all he was good at recently. Roxas just sat and stared at the pills for a moment before obediently picking them both up and putting them into his mouth, reaching out for the water as they were too big to swallow without it really.


Tifa hesitated for a moment, looking over Axel for a moment before standing aside and letting him come in. "Sure.. are you alright? You're not looking too good." It was cold outside! What was he doing running around in a shirt like that?

Axel stepped inside the warmth though he still felt cold.
"I... Did something terrible... But I was-" Ugh why was it so hard? "Is there anywhere else we can talk." Speaking to the ground.
Cloud looked curiously at the redhead, what did he do?

Tifa hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and shutting the door. "Sorry, it's empty in here though," If it was something terrible she didn't want her thirteen year old son-adoptee to know what it was! "Come on, what happened?"

Offering a smile as she shifted the bag on her shoulder. Needed to get home, file all the receipts and start up for the new menu for the next month… too much work.

Sighing as he rubbed his forehead. "I hurt Roxas... But it wasn't my fault, someone drugged me somehow."

Cloud's eyes widened, drugged?

"And he's not going to forgive me..." Wiping an eye as a tear trickled downwards.

"Hurt him…?" Tifa's eyes widened almost the same time as Cloud's, crossing her arms after a moment as she shivered over the thought of one of her workers being drugged. How did he…? Why would someone…? 'Aw'ing quietly as the tall red-head rubbed at his eyes, reaching out and putting a hand on his shoulder with a firm hand. "Hey, it was an accident. Of course he'd forgive you. Did you report this to the police?"

Axel shook his head. "I- no, no I didn't... But I was wondering maybe... Maybe if you have anything recorded on tape?" It just might help him track down who did it.
"The police... There no good anyway."

"Uhhhh maybe…?" Tifa rubbed her head and shrugged, there was only one overview camera in the eating area. Though her expression darkened as he said the police were now good, huffing and rubbing at her forehead. "Well at least go to the restoration committee, they'll get it done faster." They would know, they were part of it. "Don't be trying to go out and get revenge on your own Axel, let the authorities do that before you get in trouble. But I'll let you look at the tape, did you drink anything while you were working? Or eat?" Tapping a finger on her chin as she spoke, in thought.

Nodding in 'agreement', he wasn't promising anything. He wanted to get back at the person who wreaked his and Roxas' love life. It was so unfair...
"Drink... Yes! Yes I did, I had a glass of coke just before lunch." Remembering in excitement.

"A coke…? Did anyone touch it other than you?" Cause she didn't get him one! Tifa seemed almost interested in the case at a police level, the restoration did a lot of odd jobs… Moving to go to the side room in the kitchen where a TV screen was hooked up to the camera, usually nothing happened so they let this thing run constantly without checking it. Good thing it was here though…

Cloud looked up. "Oh I gave it to him just before lunch. It was unopened before I gave it to him."
Axel nodded. "I may of left it for a few moments on the counter so I could serve a few tables." Looking guilty.

Alright, that complicated things a little… "And we know it wasn't me or Cloud…" So it could've been any of the hundred people walking in and out of this place… Sighing as she started rewinding the tape, Tifa was left almost staring in boredom at the screen, there was five or so hours to cover but that wouldn't last as long because the people moving in reverse were rather quick.

The redhead sighed. "Don't worry about it then. I don't wanna keep you guys up. You have a kid to worry about." He was so annoyed with himself that he couldn't even defend himself.

Tifa blinked up as Axel spoke, shaking her head and keeping her finger set on rewind. "I'll stay, Cloud you want to run home and start dinner with Denzel? Should only be a few more minutes." The clock on the TV was already back at one pm, just an hour further which only meant another five or so minutes.

"Yeah that fine." Moving forward to pat her shoulder. He wasn't one to show affection in front of others.
Axel sighed. "I can wait..."

"You started it Red, stop being stubborn." Tifa chimed as Cloud left, looking over her shoulder at the red-head and jumping as she realized the time had come, looking over the screen closely at the figures moving. "Okay… I think that's you coming back for the drink…" Moving backwards of course, so it looked like he was walking backwards instead of forward, going back even further before surrendering her chair to Axel. "There you go, look it over. I can never make out that much on this thing."

Nodding as he was scolded and then taking a place in her seat as she moved away.
Clicking on the play button he watched as a figure came upon his can. They looked around for awhile to make sure the coast was clear before discreetly sliding in a power mixture, then they calmly walked away. The whole time as he watched this, Axel just watched the screen dumbstruck and soon enough all his face had paled in cooler.
No...
Biting his lower lip before getting up. "Thanks Tifa. That's a huge relief." Giving her a fake smile.

Tifa watched silently through the event, frowning slightly at it. Damn, the nerve of some people. "Anytime. You're not looking so good though Red… Why not go home?" Really didn't need one of her workers starting up a bunch of problems. It would give them a bad rep.

Though about this time Demyx was testing the backdoor, relieved finding it open and just helping himself in. "Axel? Are you in here?"

Axel smiled slightly as he got up. "Hey Tiff thanks for helping me. I'll pay you back anyway possible." His attention snapped to the back door.
Oh shit... Demyx. "Yeah hey Dem. I'll be there in a sec!" Calling down the hall.
"'Kay I best be of Tifa. I'll see you tomorrow?" Waving at her cheerfully though as he turned his back to her to meet Demyx his expression darkened. He had to tell Demyx who he saw...

"Than you're sweeping tomorrow." Tifa offered, sticking out her tongue at the red-head playfully as she moved over to the door, though paused at the sight of Demyx. Great she had to wait until he left in order to go home!

Demyx though took one look at Axel before grabbing his wrist and starting to take him towards the back door. "You fucking moron. It was an accident! Why do you have to run off and play hero?"

Axel stumbled as his arm was roughly grabbed. "Hey! I had to find out who did this!"
a heavy weight fell on his chest. Why was it every time he tried doing things for others they'd twist it around... And it ended up with him looking like an idiot and hurt.

"'He'd be happier without me'? Isn't that what you said? The kid won't even speak, let alone numb the pain. You couldn't have waited five minutes for me to get home and help you?" Demyx released him once they were outside, not really the type to get angry and this wasn't any different, he was worried for the both of them. Sighing as he just started for home, of course ushering Axel to go on first and rubbing his forehead, fever still there he shouldn't be doing all this. "So did you? Find out I mean."

Gulping as he scowled at. "I know I screwed up. But I had to know what happened..."
Stopping as he was released. "It was Vexen who drugged me..." Looking up at him fearfully.

"Waaiittt a minute…. Vexen!" Demyx was still trying to catch up to everything, taking a minute to cough into the crook of his elbow and make a face at the way it hurt his chest. It didn't make sense! How was Vexen back and why would he try drugging Axel! "So what are you going to do now? Cause you're needed at home." Please say he'd return.. don't know how Roxas would take it if he got there and was alone.

Shifting slightly. Well he had no where else to go... He couldn't just go to his parents, they had Reno. He doubted that Roxas would want to see him after what he promised. Then again there was the motel they stayed at...
"I-I can't... He wouldn't want to see me..." Rubbing his eyes in frustration. "I need to sort this out... Sora and Riku can't... They've got a kid to worry about. You can't your ill. I doubt Zexion would. And R-Roxas. Oh god!" Teardrops splashing his face.

"Axel…" Huffing out as the red-head denied going home to his injured boyfriend, shifting in place and putting his only working hand in his back pocket. "He does, trust me. I can call him now if you don't believe me." Taking out his phone to prove he could and was willing to go that far. "And don't knock me down cause of a cold! I'm fine! And I can talk Zexy into it. You're not alone."

"I doubt it... Not after everything else. But is he okay?" Asking quietly...
Giving up he sighed. "Fine. But I have to go in the shop quickly." He had to start making it up to his boyfriend.

Was he alright? Now this question would probably keep him from coming home if he tried to play it down… so Demyx shook his head. "Like I said, he's not taking the painkillers. His elbows in shambles and a small concussion to the back of his head. That's why he needs you, won't take care of himself unless you're there." Smiling as the red-head agreed to come, though as he went to move ahead he stopped and looked back as he mentioned going shopping. "For what?"

Blushing slightly as he muttered. "I wanted to get him some flowers... Or something."
Standing up taller now as he shrugged.
"Come on... If he's like that I best get them now before he murders me or something."

Yes he agreed! Smiling at himself for a job well done, Demyx started to walk back towards home, of course hesitant at first, just making sure the older male was going to follow behind him. "Flowers?" Of course slightly confused by the idea, they weren't chicks! Wasn't that something straight people did? He was still new to the gay society.. "I don't think he'll murder you though… You got twenty or so days until he's able to take the cast off anyway. Plenty of time to cool him down."

Shrugging as he followed the blonde. "Yeah... Flowers I know just screams gay..."
He lowered his gaze. Twenty days? "Twenty? God..." Something fell within him, no it wasn't a heart. It was his emotions.

"Not what I meant…" Demyx muttered the at the first statement until he questioned the break and shrugged. "Ten for the plaster, than ten more in the sling. He can use an ace after that. He's getting it off early, lucky he doesn't have that heart or it would take months." All of this depended if he took in plenty of calcium… which is another reason Axel was needed.

Axel just smiled. "Yeah I know."
Though it soon vanished soon as Roxas was mentioned again.
Rubbing the back of his neck, this was just getting too uncomfortable. "So... How's Zexion getting long?" Trying to avoid the issue.

Zexion? Demyx gaped at the sudden change of subject for a moment before rubbing the back of his head. "Uh… He's alright, has a bit of a cold… My fault probably." Coughing lightly, a small blush on his face. Yeaaahhh… this was embarrassing. Talking to the man who took his innocence about his boyfriend… was Zexion his boyfriend? Confusing...

Tilting his head and now glad he did change the subject. Now this was interesting! "Really, you gave him a cold? And how did that happen." Smirking slightly as he saw the blush on his friends face.

Demyx groaned out slightly as Axel proceeded with the current conversation, looking away to hide the blush that his friend was making faces at. "He's scared of storms, so he slept in my-um… bed last night. And um…" Damn this was embarrassing!

Axel's eyes widened before relaxing and his smile grew. "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. So you him are?"
Well that was a quick turn of events. It seemed as if Demyx bagged himself a guy, a GUY! He wouldn't have thought his friend would have 'swung' that way. He was honest with himself, Axel's spirits did lighten up much more. Though an underlining touch of sadness was there too.

Nothing to be embarrassed about? What the hell was he smoking? Demyx distracted himself by coughing heavily into his arm again, ending the almost brutal sounding session with a small shiver. Really wasn't feeling good… "Um… I don't know truthfully… I mean I hope so…" Gah why was it so hard to talk about this?

As they came upon a small shop Axel opened the door. "Hey, if you both have a thing going on. Might as well ask him before it's too late, I made that mistake once..." Sighing at the end.
Instantly he tried to keep himself busy by looking at the flowers. There was so many to chose from!
So in the end he found a bunch of Lilies which he quickly paid for along with a small plain teddy bear.
Happy with what he brought he left the shop.
"Think he'll like it'" Shaking the bag lightly.

What was he talking about? Demyx was left staring in confusion as Axel wandered into the store, tilting his head to the side. "… Someone else…?" Had to be! Cause he was quick to jump on Roxas! But who…? Waiting outside in the cold weather wasn't doing him justice, and right when he was about to walk into the warmer store to try and save himself from getting any sicker Axel walked back out with a bag. Think he'll like it? What was he…? Then spotting the lilies inside the bag, so he got him a gift anyway. "Yeah, think he will." Offering with a smile though breaking off to start coughing again. Needed to get home.

The redhead nodded as he pushed the bag onto his wrist so he was able to walk whilst clutching on his sides.
For the rest of the short walk he didn't talk, not until they were back inside their building. That's when Axel started to have second thoughts, he was slowing down quite a lot even as they reached just outside their room!

"Come on turtle." Demyx teased back towards the slow moving Axel, one hand on their doorknob to get ready to go inside. Come on they were so close he couldn't be backing down now! Oh wait he did tell Zexion to give Roxas permission to slap the red-head… had a feeling he wouldn't though.

Taking small steps forward and muttered. "Not a turtle." Slowly he opened the door.
Zexion during the time waiting for Demyx to turn had started to read the book Roxas had been reading. It actually was very informative.

"Than go!" Demyx teased, pushing a hand very gently on Axel's shoulder to usher him forward, moving through the door himself and shutting it behind him. "Home! And I brought him ba-" Breaking off upon learning Zexion was reading and the blonde was fast asleep on the sofa, curled under the duvet.

Axel started to slowly walk in and first seeing his broken lover asleep. Whimpering quietly as he started to edge close to him and gripping the bag tightly.

The bluenette on the other hand frowned at Axel before his attention turned to Demyx. "Hello Demyx. I see you found him alright." Smiling slightly then putting the book on it's spine.

"It took forever too actually! It was like searching for hay in a needle stack." Teasing slightly towards the schemer with a smile, then moving towards the kitchen to take another paracetamol, probably have to go lay down cause he was certain his fever spiked.

Aiko finally pulled herself out form Roxas' grasp and wiggled out from underneath the covers, looking up at Axel in near to shock as she meowed out a questioning chime. She heard the arguing, but wasn't sure why this had happened.

Axel glared at Demyx before settling on the floor by his love one. Though jumping as Aiko came into view. "Hey girl." Petting along side her back. "You like me don't you?"

It was Aiko's tail smacking against the side of his face that woke him up, it was Axel's voice that gave him purpose to actually get up. Roxas first tried to stay as still as possible but worry made him move, looking up towards his boyfriend without actually moving from his spot on the sofa. "Are you alright?" First thing blurted from his mouth, very worried about this 'drug' and the effect it could've had on his boyfriend.

Looking up Axel's bottom lip trembled as he edge closer to him. "I'm sorry hon..." Looking at the ground wanting it to swallow him up then remembering the flowers and teddy. Bringing them up slowly to view to before placing it onto his lap. Then along with the flowers.

"It was just an accident, don't be sorry…" Roxas spoke quickly at first, not even flinching away as his boyfriend came closer. Trust came back to his lover the minute he learned it was an accident and he was mistaken. Didn't move or shift as Axel brought out the flowers and bear, though was completely confused by it.

Axel blushed slightly. "I'm sorry... I didn't know what to get you." Damn now this was awkward.

Roxas forced himself to smile slightly, watching as Aiko dropped to the floor and went elsewhere to occupy her attention. The blonde had to actually force himself to move as well, trying to push himself up by his one good arm while he was so weak wasn't a good idea, and the blonde froze for a second to bite back tears as his elbow smacked against the back of the sofa. Owww.. "You didn't have to get me something, but thank you."

Looking only up to his shoulders and refusing to make eye contact. "I-I had to... It was something I felt like a should do..." His eyes widened as he saw the bandaged elbow and he felt like he was sinking. 'I did that...'
"I hurt you again..." Tears forming around the rim of his eyes.

Unlike Axel, he was the one being calm in this situation, leaning down a little and trying to look his boyfriend in the eye. "Than thank you, it was sweet of you." Ugh the sling was so uncomfortable! Could feel it burning against his neck with every small movement of his head. Though the moment Axel spoke again he jumped slightly, shifting again until he was able to reach up and put his uninjured hand on his boyfriend's neck. "Hey, it wasn't you. I'm fine! Trust me on this one!"

Axel lower his gaze again to look at Roxas' arm. "It was still me..." Tenderly he reached out to brush his fingers against the only part of visible skin. It wasn't going to make his pain go away until he got hold of Vexen. He was so going to die a brutal death by his hand... Again.

A small light bulb in his mind went off as Axel reached out for his arm, wishing for several moments he wouldn't but made himself relax as the fingers only lightly grazed the uninjured section of his arm. He wouldn't hurt him. "No, it wasn't you. You wouldn't have done it to began with, I know you better than that." Offering a smile, completely trusting. Only was it then that he noticed the scab forming where he had bit Axel's lip in retaliation, hesitating a moment before reaching up and touching the bottom of his lip lightly with the tips of his fingers. "Sorry…"

Shivering slightly as Roxas' fingers brushed against his bottom lip. Forgot all about that and without realize it actually stung. "It's fine. I needed that I guess... It's strange I actually remember everything... I said some nasty things to you hon."

Nasty things…? Pulling his hand away from Axel's mouth as he spoke before remembering, eyes falling for a moment. Fuck you! The betrayal that came with those two words tried creeping back but he wouldn't allow it. Instead he just shook his head and tried to smile again up to the older male. "It's alright." Was he allowed to…? Roxas hesitated for a few moments before reaching out his hand again, letting it rest on the much larger one gently, his fingers cold and shaking.

Hesitating for a moment for tenderly taking his hand within his. God he was so cold! "I'm surprised you still trust me, love." Smiling only a little bit as he finally lifted up his head. "But Rox. You're freezing!" Bringing out his other hand to place on the underside of his hand.

"Of course I do, it was an accident silly." Thank god… Smiling a little as Axel took his hand, though it faded a little at the comment, shrugging his shoulders slightly then wincing at the decision. Shit… "Its cold in here, that's all."

Cold? It wasn't cold. Gently he place a hand onto Roxas' forehead. Seemed okay...
"Do you want to go to bed or something?" Asking quietly. "We can talk more in there... I kinda wanted to tell you something important."

Slightly confused as to why Axel put his hand on his forehead, he wasn't ill, it was just cold in here. Well, to him anyway. Go to bed though… It would be hard for him to actually get in the bed with only one arm… But if Axel wanted to… "Alright… hang on." Looking for a moment how he was sitting down and trying to figure out how to stand without bumping his elbow, taking to simply pushing the blankets away from himself and tried to stand, only to waver as hypertension caught him, stubbornly trying again and getting to his feet with a tiny sigh of relief that wasn't as painful as it could've been.

Nodding as he wrapped an arm around Roxas' waist to help him balance, as he led the way back into their room.
Soon enough he let go of the teen the place the duvet down back onto the bed.

The blonde stood still for several moments as Axel made down the bed he had fixed that morning while twisting a section of the sling's strap. Now what was he going to do? Couldn't fight with one arm… was he trapped here for another month in complete silence? Wasn't sure he could take that… Though he forced himself to think of how he was going to get into bed… when his left arm was useless? And that's the one he used to get onto his side of the bed usually… "So um… what did you want to tell me…?"

Axel stared at the ceiling. "It was Vexen who drugged me." Rubbing his face with the palm of his hands. He felt a ache where his heart should of been, he doubted he'd be able to forgive himself.

"But how…?" How did Vexen do it! He was so confused, didn't understand any of this. Vexen was back but how did he get the drugs, was he first here? Why were they all appearing on this world and not any other ones? Even bigger question: Why drug Axel in the first place? "So… what now? Reaching up and laying his hand on the top of Axel's shoulders gently, trying to give comfort.

Axel sniffed. "I don't know... He knows where I work. This is bad Roxas." Finally giving into the touch and relaxed and took the hand so he could roll over to face him.

It was… very bad. Roxas sighed quietly, moving the good arm he was laying on to touch Axel's face gently. "Just be careful then… and get Cloud and Tifa to keep an eye out for him. The guy's a chicken, he wouldn't do anything if he knows he's outnumbered." At least he hoped… it was pretty brave to drug someone in public…

Nodding as he Roxas' hands to his lips. "I will." Closing his eyes briefly. "I won't let that happen ever again... But if he gets to me again. Just punch me in the face or something. I'll even allow you to kick me in the balls." His lip twitched slightly.

Roxas gaped at what Axel told him he could do in retaliation, managing a tiny laugh as he shook his head. Couldn't retaliate, it hurt enough already for those small curses coming at him and insults, being labeled an item instead of a person… imagine if he actually hurt Axel… "I feel bad enough for cutting your lip silly!" Offering a smile to hide it, though he did feel bad…

Axel lowered his gaze. "I deserved it though..." It was strange he still confused himself for the one who caused pain to his boyfriend, he still didn't blame the drugs. He blamed himself.
"Anything I can do for you?" He asked slowly as his fingers brushed against Roxas' knuckles.

That may be so… but didn't mean he could accept just hurting his boyfriend! "No, it wasn't you Axel!" Starting to sound exasperated as he denied it yet again, had to prove it to him. "If you were in full control, like you are right now. Would you hurt me the same way you had before?" Roxas didn't actually waver from the question, hoping the answer be the one he had carved into his 'heart' to be true. At the question if he needed anything the blonde simply shook his head, still waiting for an answer.

Axel shook his head before defensively saying out. "No! Of course not! I'd never hurt you!" This caused him to turn to face him and bury his face into his lovers chest.
"You mean too much too me."

The blonde relaxed slightly, running his hand through the red hair gently. "Then see? It wasn't you. I know you wouldn't…" Leaning in to kiss his lover's forehead but found himself freezing and drawing away as the scream echoing through his head came back. Fuck you! Being slammed into the wall… his head still hurt… He was ashamed… couldn't even kiss his boyfriend…

Looking away soon as Roxas went to kiss him but he backed away. "See you can't even touch or see me in the same away as before. Part of you still see's it as me. Not the drugs." A teardrop trickled down his cheek, he'd be utterly heart broken that is if he had one...
Roxas faltered in guilt, looking at the bed and curling up slightly under the blankets. "S-sorry… I'm sorry…" Shit! He didn't want to be afraid! But a part of him had been hurt far too many times to just jump back to what was normal. Though he wasn't completely afraid to touch, leaving that gentle though as he wiped away Axel's tears. "It's not you… I know it's not you…" Near to forcing himself to move closer and put his head on Axel's shoulder. "I'm sorry…"

Sighing as he patted his head. "It's fine... No need to say sorry... But if it's too much i can just sleep on the sofa for a bit." Letting him move closer to his clothed body.

"No! Don't go!" Whimpering quietly as Axel threatened to leave him again. He couldn't be alone anymore! He couldn't take the silence anymore! Shutting his eyes tightly into Axel's black shirt as his fist balled up and clung to the fabric. He couldn't do this… it was completely selfish. He closed himself off to Axel all the time, then clung to him like a brat when it was convenient to him… that explained it…

Axel's eyes widened as his love clung onto him.
"Whoa, hey baby I'm not going anywhere."
He cooed softly. "Careful your arm." Point it out to him before tenderly petting his other hand.
"I'll only stay if you want me too."

Relaxing his grip as Axel said he wasn't going to leave him, eyes down as he backed away slightly as to not cause himself any more pain in his arm. "I do… please stay…" Didn't want to be alone… his 'heart' broke upon learning he had been abandoned before, and the depression that took hold after that was still haunting him. He wanted to die after learning the only one who ever loved him vanished…

Sighing as the blonde backed away from him. "I won't leave you ever. You mean too much to me." Bringing the covers over his and Roxas' shoulders. Axel knew he'd never leave his blonde lover; it would cause too much pain to his Roxas.

The blonde bit his lip at the message. If he meant so much to Axel… and then he was afraid to even kiss him… The blonde hesitated for a moment before leaning over and almost drawing away again, a whimper caught in his throat as he forced himself to do it, press his lips against the red-head's own for just a moment, a feather light touch until he backed away fearfully, expecting to be lashed at like before, sworn at… be labeled an item.

Axel furrowed his eyebrows together in pain and hissed out. Even though it was a light kiss, his bottom lip stung. "You don't have to force yourself Roxas. Take your time hon." Smiling weakly. As much as he wanted to kiss back and hold him safely in his arms, he rather let his lover take his own time.

The hiss coming out of his lover's mouth made him tense up, biting his lip and letting his eyes fall to the bed until Axel spoke, looking up at him and giving a weak nod. Needed to distract himself… "Oh! We should put the flowers in a vase before they die." That was almost ADD distracting himself… but it worked. Though as he moved to sit up his arm simply moved and hit the bed lightly, but that was enough for the blonde to tear up and swear under his breath several times.

Axel's shook his head. "I'll go do it. You stay here and rest, I'll bring them to you." Smiling gently though his eyes widened as he saw the pain his lover was in. "And I'll bring you some paracetamol too." Gently rubbing his shoulder before getting up slowly, and heading into the living room.

The blonde had no response other than to nod his head slowly, hand over his eyes so that Axel couldn't see the pain even though he already had. With a shaky breath he removed his hand and wiped away the tears as the red-head moved into the other room, ashamed of himself for not being able to do anything to help. "Thank you." Muttering quietly and blinking as he heard Aiko's meow and the kitten jumped on top of the bed by herself, giving a weak smile as he noticed she was slowly getting bigger.

Axel only returned five minutes later with the lilies in a vase and the teddy bear. Planting the vase onto Roxas' side table, then tucking the teddy beside the male. Seeing Roxas with the growing kitten did make Axel smile.
"Hey girl." He said to her as he climbed into the bed.

The blonde blushed slightly as the bear found its home beside him, taking a moment before lifting it up and looking it over. Seemed a little childish truthfully… Aiko meowed over at Axel's hello, almost tripping over Roxas' leg as she moved to lay in between the two, her purring almost vibrating the bed.

Laughing tiredly at her before petting her back and bringing the teddy closer to her.
"She's getting bigger." He laid back down onto the pillow.

Roxas also laid down slowly on the bed, shifting around so he was on his side with the cast not touching the bed. Damn this thing was uncomfortable! "Yeah… she is." Watching as she crept forward to sniff the animal and jumped back with her tail fluffed as it fell over, the curiosity took over again as she went to repeat the process before declaring it safe.

Cracking a smile as the kitten somewhat played with the bear. "She's so cute." Just watching her interact with life was so... Well there was no actually word for it! It was hard to express. Yawning one last time before muttering nonsense and falling into a deep sleep.

Roxas smiled and opened his mouth to reply to Axel, but stopped mid motion as he watched green eyes close and his boyfriend fell asleep. The blonde stared for a moment in slight shock before smiling and reaching over to brush hair away. "Goodnight…I love you…" He felt his blood run cold as the words escaped it. Axel hadn't said it once since the attack… Was he the only one holding on? Instead of cuddling up to his lover like he did usually, he pulled away and onto his own side of the bed, sighing lightly into the pillow. With these attacks he was trying to forgive… only gave more for his depression to feed off of and grow.
