Chapter 5
Let the corruption begin.
3 weeks
3 very long hard weeks.
You'd think after waiting for nearly 17 years I'd be able to handle this. So not true. I felt like I was being denied being human, being a man. This sucks.
I felt a stirring in my loins. Ah, wrong word.
Sucks
Suck...
Sora...
SHIT!!
I can't be thinking about those things right now. I stood up from my lounged position and went to get a glass of water. Noticed how I drink water a lot? All around me the smell of various cooking foods filled the air. I had to move left and right a few times to avoid getting hit by a tray, or by people, before I made it to the water machine. I'm at work by the way. In the kitchen taking my 15 minute break.
6 minutes left before I gotta go wait tables again.
ARG....
I downed my nice cool glass of water and started absently around. It was quite chaotic back here in the kitchen. You'd never be able to tell from up front in the restaurant. All of the waitresses were moving around like overly active ants, trying to get plates of food, fill glasses with soda, or clean up something. I was the only one taking a break. I was the only male waiter too. Most of the cooks were men except Aeris who was the cooking manager. The general manager was Cloud.
"Hey Riku, can you grab water for table 82, I gotta ring up table 34's bill." I heard one of waitresses say. I turned to see who it was. I couldn't seem to place her name. She had short black hair, big brown eyes, she was about 6 inches shorter then me.... Oh yeah... the ninja chick. Yuffie.
I sighed and set down my glass on a nearby counter then started grabbing clean cups to fill with ice and water.
"Uh.. How many." I called over my shoulder.
"It's a 6 top hon." She said without turning from the computer screen she was staring at. Her hands were clicking across the keyboard with a practiced speed as she punched in dinner numbers and prices. I shook my head and started to fill glasses. Yuffie had been the one to train me in when I first started working here. She was everybody's friend. Knew where everything was, knew what to do to get the best tips. Well, her shorts being so small probably got her those good tips. She was the only one that didn't seem to care about the no shorts above the knee rule that we had. It was either pants or shorts in blue jean material. No... hot pants. I preferred shorts. I spilled to much water to wear long jeans all of the time.
Yuffie was really nice and perky. She made this job seem like more fun then it actually was too. I could tell she'd been serving for a while.
I grabbed a tray and 6 appetizer plates and some napkins. After arranging them to fit on the small tray I hoisted it up on one hand and walked out of the kitchen. It was actually really busy up front and I realized I should cut my break short. I glanced around for table 82, I was still trying to remember where each table was. They didn't exactly have numbers posted on them to let me know. I counted in my head. Ah, there it is.
Readjusting the slippery tray on my left hand I walked over to the table. It was a group of teenagers, 3 girls, 3 guys, probably no older then me. They all stopped talking when I came over and looked directly at me. I felt nervous for a second. I hated it when the customers did that.
"Are you our waiter?" a girl asked me sweetly staring into my eyes. I smiled slightly. "Ah no, She'll be with you in just a minute." The guys at the table sniggered. I eyed them.
"Riku." One of the girls said. I started to ask her how she knew my name but caught myself. My name was on my shirt. Duh!.
"Yes." I answered. The girl leaned in towards me, she was the furthest away. "Can we order drinks from you until our waitress gets here?" She asked sweetly. I sighed inwardly and pulled out a pen and my order sheets.
"What'll it be?" I murmured. The girl seemed to think about that. I wanted to get this over with so I started naming the types of drinks we had.
"Pepsi, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Raspberry Tea, Coke, and Diet of all of those."
The group looked at me. They seemed to want to laugh. The girl that had spoken before smiled wider. It looked fake and forced.
"No Riku dear."
Dear? I raised an eyebrow.
"We want drinks. As in Alcohol." She drawled. I dropped my note pad to my side and stared at them. Was she serious.
"Got some ID?" I said coldly. The girl looked shocked for a second. Like I'd asked her the most horrible thing in the world just now.
"What, do I look 12 to you?" She hissed. Her friends were all glaring at me.
"ID please?" I said again. The girl looked taken aback. "I'm 21!" She nearly yelled. I shook my head and sighed.
"Miss, I'm sorry but I can't go by what you say. I need an ID." This was starting to annoy me. It was getting hard for me to keep my voice down. Why did people have to be like this?
"You calling me a liar?" She snapped back at me. I closed my eyes before I spoke. I was about to say something really nasty before I caught myself.
"No, I'm not calling you a liar Miss. But If I serve you alcohol and you're under aged, I could loose my job and go to jail okay." There, that should make her see reason. Bet you 20 bucks she doesn't have an ID.
I saw her reach for her purse, she was swearing under her breath. Her friends were all watching her.
"Here." She snarled and tossed a laminated card at me. I caught it and looked it over. Her picture was on it. Gah... she took a bad one. Her name, Maria Jennings huh? I found her birth date and counted backwards from mine to hers. She wasn't lying. Hmph, she'd just turned 21 about 3 days ago though. I passed her ID back to her. She snatched it from me with a smirk on her face. Like she'd proven her words and I was feeling really stupid. I smiled politely and in my sweetest waiter tone said.
"So, what'll it be then?" She gave me her order. She wanted our hardest liquor, 3 shots of it at that. I was about to put my pen away when she said.
"What about my friends?"
I glanced at each one of the other people at the table. They hadn't really said anything during the confrontation. I'd forgotten to ask them what they wanted to drink.
"Oh, Ice or no ice?" I asked, assuming they were about to order soda or tea. To my utter surprise Miss Maria cursed at me. I dropped my nice act and glared at her.
"For fucks sake boy. We want alcohol!" She was yelling. I'm glad the restaurant was already loud or everyone would be staring at us. I managed by sheer force of will to compose myself.
"ID's please." I motioned to the other 5 people. No one moved. I knew it. "Then I guess they'll be drinking pop, huh?" I whispered. Maria stood up and slammed her hands on the table. Her friends jumped and stared surprised at her.
"I want to speak to your Manager!" She demanded. I laughed slightly. Did she really think she was going to win this? Fine.
"I'll be right back miss." I said and turned to leave. I found Cloud by the bar talking to the bartender. It was obvious no one had heard the argument.
"Hey Cloud." The blonde turned to look at me with a questioning gaze. "A lady at table 82 would like a word with you." Cloud slid from his seat and put on his managers face before he headed for the table. I followed close behind him. Maria was sitting with her arms folded glaring in our direction.
"You wanted to see me ma'am?" Cloud asked nicely, automatically looking towards Miss Maria. I rolled my eyes at his sweet tone. How could he do it, be nice to jackasses? Hmph, I could never be a Manager.
"Yeah, see this little boy here." The women pointed at me. "He called me a liar. I want a drink, you know alcohol. I even showed him my ID. He keeps saying he can't give it to us."
Cloud turned to look at me with a flat gaze. I just shrugged. "Well, he's right ma'am. He can't serve you alcohol because he's under aged. He can check for ID's and get another server to get the drinks for you though." I saw the women's eyes widen in realization. I had done just what Cloud said. Cloud turned back to me.
"You checked for ID's already?" I nodded but said. "I just saw hers." I pointed to the angry women. "The others haven't shown me theirs yet." Cloud looked back to them. "If it serves you well, I'll take your drink orders myself. Can I see some ID please?" He said talking to the remaining 5 people. They looked stunned. Cloud smiled slightly.
"You know, It's against federal law to serve alcohol to anyone under 21. If I do I could loose my job and spend time in prison. My restaurant could be closed down too, which means people would loose their jobs. Not only that, the kids who ordered the alcohol would have to do time in a juvenile facility and community service for falsely identifying themselves. As well as face criminal charges on their record and $3,000 dollars in fines."
My eyes widened. What had Cloud done, memorized the manager hand book or something? I made a note to never let Cloud catch me drinking.
The 6 people looked completely shocked. "We'll... all take a coke.. Sir." The last girl said softly. Cloud smiled pleasantly and turned to me. "6 cokes then, Riku." He winked and walked away. I grinned and went to retrieve the soda.
I told Yuffie about the whole situation that had taken place a little later while she was punching in table 82's order. I was surprised they even stayed to eat after being put in check like that. Yuffie laughed at the whole thing. She said sometimes you just get those customers that think you're scum and they can treat you anyway they like. Then she apologized for putting me through that, even though it hadn't been her fault.
The night dragged on. I made good tips too. About 75 bucks. Maybe I could take Sora out somewhere nice with this money the next time I had a day off.
My mood darkened.
Sora.
The one person in all of my desires and fantasies. I felt like I was losing him. Bit by bit, day by day. I tried to drown myself in work to keep me occupied. But I always had to come back to 'the abandoned house in district 3'. I'd seen Sora... maybe twice this whole week He was gone when I got up and gone when I got home from work. He'd been staying the night at Aeris's place these past few days. She was teaching him magic again. Well, that's what she'd told me anyway. I didn't believe it. Sora was lying to me and hiding something. It just ripped me apart that he didn't trust me enough to tell me what it was. And I know it has something to do with Leon. *sigh*
I'm tired.
I somehow made it to the house without passing out in the middle of the street and falling asleep there. It was dark inside, this told me instantly that Sora wasn't home. I cursed under my breath. I missed him so much. Maybe I should go over Aeris's house. I didn't really like staying here alone with Leon. He didn't bother me at all anymore since that day in the kitchen. But still, the way he looked at me made my skin crawl now. I still had a small bruise on my neck from where he grabbed me.
I made it to my room without running into him. I wasn't even sure if he was here at all. I started to undress, I wanted to shower. I reeked of dish soap and raw ground beef. The joys of being in a restaurant kitchen all day. I peeled off my serving uniform and grabbed a towel to dry off with. It was Sora's baby blue one. I sighed again.
'Bring, bring'
The phone chirped quietly from across the room I crawled naked across the bed to pick it up.
"Hello?" I said quietly into the receiver.
"Hey." It was Sora
I sat up on one elbow. I couldn't help but smile. It was nice the hear his voice.
"Baby." I cooed. He giggled slightly. "You coming home tonight?" I asked, trying not to sound to hopeful. I glanced at the clock and was shocked to see it read 12:35. It was that late already? Damn... what time had I gotten off of work?
"...no..." I heard Sora breath. He was talking really quietly. I pouted and slumped face first into the blankets. "Why... why not?" I muttered sadly and sat up again, rolling onto my back. Still naked.
Sora didn't respond at first. I could hear him breathing into the phone. He was probably thinking of a reasonable excuse to tell me.
"It's late." I said after about 3 minutes. "Yeah...." Sora mumbled. I felt like I was talking to my ex-boyfriend or something.
"Well..." I sat up and ran my free hand through my hair. "...I'm 'bout to take and shower and go to bed, okay. I'll... see you in the morning?"
Please say yes.
"Yeah... maybe."
NOOOOOOOO!!!
"O...okay. Well... goodnight then...." I felt like crying.
"Good night..."
I was about to hang up.
"Riku!"
I put the phone back to my ear. Maybe he'd changed his mind and he was going to come home after all. "Yeah." I breathed.
"I love you." Sora said softly. I heard his voice crack. Oh god, was he going to cry again?
"Sora... what's...." I caught myself because Sora drew in his breath. I couldn't ask him about that yet. I sighed inwardly.
"I love you too. Always."
Sora didn't say anything back.
"Goodnight." I hung up. I gripped the phone tightly in my right hand. It cracked. For fucks sake this was driving me crazy. No boyfriend, no sex, not even a freaking kiss good night. And now there was something seriously wrong with Sora.... I pulled at my hair and cringed. I think I pulled too hard. Ah... where's the aspirin.
About 10 minutes later I was headed towards the shower. I heard nor saw no sign of Leon being home. I made sure to lock the bathroom door before I took my bath. I almost fell asleep in the shower. Again on my way back to my room no sign of Leon. Not that I was worried about him or anything. I didn't like being completely alone in this house. I think we need a dog or something. Locking door to bedroom.
*Yawn*
I dressed in a t-shirt and shorts and flopped into bed. I don't remember what I thought about last.
----------------
It was maybe.... 3 am. I'd barely been asleep for 3 hours. I heard a loud slam come from somewhere in the house. I jumped abruptly out of my sleep and looked around. My heart was beating a mile minute. I hate being startled out of my sleep. I listened closely for anymore noise. When I heard no more I started to lay back down. I couldn't help but wonder what had made that noise though. Sighing in frustration I pulled myself out of bed. I unlocked the door and walked out. I figured it was just Leon's drunk ass just now getting home.
I was half asleep while I looked around the house. I didn't see him anywhere. I got just barely past the kitchen door and noted vaguely that the back door was slightly opened. I was awake now. The words, 'Oh shit' formed in my mind. This wasn't happening. I was alone in this house and someone had just broken in. I ran a hand nervously through my hair. Okay... now what? Close the door. I walked cautiously into the kitchen. The light over the stove was on so I could see everywhere just fine. That didn't make me feel any better though. It just told me that the intruder was somewhere else in the house. I closed the back door as quietly as I could mange but didn't lock it. Just in case I had to make a run for it. I kept telling myself it was only Leon though. I heard someone grunt somewhere else in the house.
"Leon...?" I called softly. Maybe I should just be quiet and sneak out. I was scared, I'm not even going to lie. I started turning on the lights in every room I entered as I made my way back to my room. The burglar was no where to be found.
It must have really just been Leon.
That bastard.
I was about to go back to my room and try to go to sleep when I heard Leon's voice from down the hall. I felt relieved, yes, relieved, and put my hand against my heart. I'd never been so happy to hear that jack asses voice. I went back to lock the back door.
"You know... you could have said something when you came in." I hissed as I turned into Leon's room. The door was wide open. His room was dark, not even the bed side lamp was on. I glanced down the hall towards the bathroom and noted the light was off in there too.
"Leon?" I said meekly. I walked a bit further into the room and looked around. This was the first time I'd really been in here. No pictures, posters, cards, nothing any where. There was a brand new pack of cigarettes, a lighter, and a 12 pack of condoms sitting on the night stand though. I shook my head and was about turn around to leave when I heard the door snap closed.
"Snooping." It was Leon's voice. I turned around slowly and glared at him.
"I'm not snooping. I was just making sure you were home and no one had broken in. You could have said something earlier." I explained. I was annoyed but too tired and groggy to go off the deep end on him. He smiled.
"Did I scare you?" He teased. I frowned. "In all honesty, yes, you did. I was here alone okay." I started walking towards the door. Leon was in the way. I glared at him.
"Move." I stated simply. He grinned just barely and I got this sudden bad feeling. He leaned against the door, still blocking me from it, and locked it. The click made me jump.
"I still have to get you back." He whispered huskily. I balled my fists"
"I'm not fucking playing with you. MOVE!!"
Leon started laughing silently, looking almost crazily into my eyes. I backed away from him. I was suddenly very scared.
"You wanna know why Sora is so terrified of me?" He asked mystically and stepped into my direction. I shook my head, unable to answer out loud. Leon was removing his jacket and belts without breaking his unblinking gaze on me.
"Oh but you do. You demanded me to tell you what I'd done to him." He was right up on me now. I had run out of space to back up in and the back my knees struck the bed. I gasped. Leon grabbed me by my chin and made me look at him.
"I can show you... better then I can tell you."
He forced me down onto the bed then, still gripping my chin roughly in his hand. I struggled against his hold but couldn't even get him to let go slightly. His free hand was feeling me up at a frantic lustful pace and I whimpered. This is what he'd done to Sora? I whimpered despite myself and Leon gave a sharp psychotic laugh.
"That's the same sound he made." He cooed and.... and... he kissed me.
I could taste the nicotine on his breath and wanted to gag. His tongue was snaking around my mouth and down my throat. He was groaning into my mouth almost sucking my air directly from my lungs. I kicked and punched at him but he'd put his entire body weight against me, my ribs felt like they would break. That's when I realized how much bigger and stronger then me Leon really was.
This wasn't happening.
He pulled his lips away from mine and I gasped harshly for air. I pushed at him with all of my might and he staggered momentarily, letting go of my chin. I leapt up and ran for the door. I didn't get very far, barely 2 steps, when he caught my shirt and snatched me backwards. I lost my balance and slammed into him. He grabbed my shoulders and roughly turned me around. I shoved at him again before I thought about it and he hit me.
He hit me really really hard. I tasted blood and blacked out.
My jaw felt like it was broken when I finally came to. I didn't know where I was or how I'd gotten there. I was lying down staring up at the ceiling. I shifted, noting that I could move okay.
"Still." I heard him say. I froze and looked around frantically. Where was he? I couldn't see him in the dark room. I started to sit up and felt his hands wrap around my wrists. He pushed me back down to a laying position and I realized I was on a bed. His bed.
"I said stay still." He breathed into my ear. My bottom lip trembled slightly. Leon's completely naked body was splayed across mine. He was straddling my legs to keep them down. I realized horribly that I was naked too.
This can't be happening.
"Let me... go..." I begged slightly. I knew what was going to happen and I felt tears in my eyes. This is what Leon had done to Sora, this is why Sora was terrified of him, this is what Sora wouldn't tell me about.
Leon had raped him.
"Shhhh..." He soothed and ran his fingers through my hair.
And now he was going to rape me.
"Don't do this...." I pleaded and started to struggle again. Leon pressed himself harder against me. "Ahhaha, no fighting We already played that game." He kissed me again. I groaned in pain into his mouth. My jaw hurt immensely.
While Leon forcefully made out with me he started shifting around to get between my legs. I tried to kick him, lock my thighs, turn to the side, everything, but he was just to strong. He was only holding my wrists with one hand. I could barely move.
"Just relax." He said simply and caressed the outside of my thigh. I flinched and pulled away from him. He looked lustfully into my eyes.
"This is what you wanted little Riku." I shook my head and felt some tears get free. Leon ran his thumb over my bottom lip and licked his own. "It is. The way you look at me, how often you watch me. Think I don't see it? You may not like me, but you sure as hell want me to fuck you."
"NO I DON'T!!" I screamed. He laughed into my nect heartily. I was hyperventilating now. My chest was heaving and I felt like I'd throw up any second.
"Let me go!" I begged again.
"Sora said the same thing." Leon mused and brushed his free hand against my cheek. He leaned forward and started to adjust his hips between mine again. My breath hitched up and I started to cry out.
"NO, NO!!! I-DON'T-WANT-THIS-LET-ME-GO!!!"
Leon put his index finger over my mouth and I froze out of pure fear. He was looking into my soul, his facial expression telling me in plain English that he'd finally gotten me. He was saying to me, with out saying a word....
Just let it happen.
Oh my god... Sora...
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!" I apologized frantically. "About what I've done and said to you. I didn't mean it. I was angry.... please..."
Leon shook his head. I chocked on a sob and turned away from him. He wasn't going to stop.
"You're always on top aren't you?" He was barely speaking, his voice riddled with lust. I didn't answer him because I really didn't understand what he'd asked me.
"Virgin." He stated simply.
I just remember screaming at the top of my lungs for the next..... forever it seemed.
I cried...
I begged...
I pleaded for him to stop...
And when I did he just got rougher, more vicious, he hit me again...
I felt sick....
Sora...
Sora....
And completely helpless...
I couldn't even fight back now... and he wasn't even holding me down anymore...
This is what he'd done to Sora....
My baby....
I cried harder, but silently....
Each time I'd thought he was done, before I could barely catch my breath or think of how to get away, he'd grab me again and force himself inside of me.
He even covered my mouth once when I yelled out for Sora to help me.....
I could see his silhouette looming over me, moving back and forth frantically...
My voice was gone....
He hitched me up higher onto him and picked up his pace...
My head was ramming the head board of the bed....
Sora....
"Leon.... st....sto... stop..." I gasped almost voicelessly.
I just kept seeing his face and hearing his voice begging Leon to stop. Telling him no and please don't.... I wasn't just crying for myself anymore.
Sora.....
"....stop...."
I'm....
".... you're hurting me..."
Sorry....
"...please..."
Sora...
Leon growled loudly suddenly, scaring me. He leaned into roughly kiss me once, breathing and gasping the words, "Oh yes, like that.." into my mouth before thrusting one final time. I felt this hot wave wash past my abdomen, inside of me, and I started to just to sob openly. This was really my first time. I'd never had Sora... or anyone... inside of me before. I moaned in pain through my cries when Leon bit down into my shoulder, still trapped in orgasm. My eyes drooped closed but I wasn't going to fall asleep. Leon was panting heavily against me.
5 times... how long had been....
5 times....
Please god... don't fall asleep.
He sat up and pulled out of me. I cried out sharply at that pain. Leon grunted and crawled to end of the bed to sit up. He grabbed a cigarette and lit it. I watched him for a few minutes, unable to move. My body felt like jelly and I couldn't stop crying. I gripped the sheets to myself. They felt wet for some reason.
My mind seem incapable of thinking any rational thought at the moment. I shivered, and twitched, and whimpered for a long time before I could think straight...
He'd raped me...
I was raped....
It kept running through my head.
Sora...
I scrubbed at my eyes and tried to sit up. I had to get out of here. A sharp stabbing pain seared up my groin and abdomen. I quickly covered my mouth to stifle my cry.
"Shut up..." Leon mumbled and blew smoke from his mouth. I stared wide eyed at him. Afraid that at any moment he'd jump on me again and start all over.
"C... can I go...?" I asked hoarsely. I sounded like a 6 year old. My voice was so soft. I don't know why I was asking him if I could leave. I didn't want him to get mad. I cradled the sheets tighter to me, they were so cold and damp... and coppery smelling. I looked down and choked on a gasp.
Blood... everywhere.
He'd hurt me...
"Get out." I jumped at his voice. So cold and flat. I didn't take my time getting up even though it hurt like hell. Leon was watching me over his shoulder. I rubbed at my eyes and swept my hair out of my face. I felt filthy. Like a throw away sex toy. I winced and drew in a breath from the clenching pain I had. Leon was suddenly looming over me.
"Get the FUCK OUT!!" He bellowed and grabbed me by my arm. He snatched me up hard and literally tossed me towards the door. The worst pain the world shot tore through me when I tried to catch myself. My legs felt hallow, disconnected at my hips. I scrambled to my feet and yanked at the door knob. The door didn't move. Leon was coming up behind me and I shook violently I tried to flatten myself as much as possible against the door. Something warm was snaking it's way down my thighs. Leon slammed his hands against the door on both sides of my head and looked me in the eye. I prayed he wasn't about to rape me again.
"You tell anyone, I'll kill you and fuck your dead body. Then I'll fuck your little boyfriend until he bleeds to death." My eyes grew wide. He didn't have to ask me if I understood. I just nodded stiffly a few times and let him unlock the door. He shoved me out of his room and slammed the door behind me. I sunk to the floor in pain and started to crawl to my room. The house was deathly silent as the sun was creeping up outside. Once safely inside my room I closed and locked the door still on my knees. I couldn't seem to build up the strength to go any further and passed out on the floor wrapped in the bloody sheet.
It was... just a nightmare....
It had to be...
Sora....
To be continued.
Good, Bad, Review Please.
