The morning came all too quickly for Sora. He was warm and didn't want to move, though his eyes fluttered open anyway. He found himself staring up at the ceiling. Quickly growing bored of the sky scene before him he looked around for his lovers. The word hung in the front of Sora's mind. He was still uncertain of this relationship but he quickly suppressed his apprehension.

'Nothing can be done now anyway.' He thought to himself as he leaned forward. He immediately became aware of the heavy arm resting on his chest, much too thick to be Riku's. Turning his head he looked around and sure enough Riku's head was resting on Will's large, toned chest, a soft smile graced his ashen lips. Riku's left hand was intertwined with Sora's own. Sora lay back onto Will's shoulder where he had been, happy to relish the moment.

"You're awake right?" Riku whispered.

"Uh...yeah."

"Good. I've been lying here since before the light started to come in through the drapes."

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I had two of the most beautiful people I've ever seen to look at the whole time." Riku crawled across Will to lie on top of Sora. Blushing deeply Sora looked into Riku's aqua eyes just inches from his own. Slow, gently breaths brought further heat to his face and he needed to experiment. Without warning Sora pulled Riku's head down and kissed the silverette firmly on the lips. It was quick and Sora released him with a bashful look.

"I never thought you would do that." Riku said amazed.

"Me either."

"It was nice. My turn." Riku leaned close. Their lips brushed together roughly at first. Riku gave a gentle nibble on Sora's bottom lip, teasing the smaller male. Parting his lips Riku invited Sora in. Reluctantly Sora found himself moving his tongue into Riku's mouth. At first they gently moved around brushing against one another. Feeling the heat in his body continue to rise Sora grabbed Riku and tossed him to the right. Now straddling Riku's chest, Sora kissed the taller male deeply and roughly. Riku's hands roamed up and down Sora's back and the brunette cupped Riku's head in one hand and gently worked his other hand along Riku's side. Eventually Sora began cupping Riku's tight buttocks and gave it a smack. Yelping Riku halted.

"What are you doing?" Riku asked. Their kiss had been broken and Sora looked down confused.

"Um...making out?" Sora rubbed the back of his head.

"Really? So why are you smacking my ass then?" Riku asked eyes narrowing.

"I just thought that guys liked a bit more roughness. I thought gay guys like to be spanked." Sora sat back. Though Riku's semi-erect penis brushed against his backside he paid it no mind. Instead he looked down at Riku, concern lacing his eyes.

"Don't get me wrong I do. But I want to be careful. For all our sake's. Let's leave the rough stuff alone. At least until we all get used to each other. It's safer that way. Okay?" Riku explained quickly. With a nod Sora affirmed his understanding. Smiling Riku leaned up and gave Sora a kiss on the chest. Playing the same trick Riku flipped Sora to the right and straddled his chest. The pair began kissing passionately again and Sora grabbed Riku's butt tightly while the silverette held Sora's face.

'I'll get you.' Sora thought devilishly as he gripped Riku's firm backside. Breaking the kiss Sora gave Riku a soulful look. Riku concerned leaned back. Before he could speak Sora sprung like a leopard and the both tumbled to the right once again. Unfortunately there was no bed to catch their fall this time. Landing with a thud on the wood floor the duo yelped with surprise and a bit of pain. Riku stared at Sora for a brief moment initially glaring. Sora looked on apologetically. A soft rumbling was heard as the bed shook. Finally Will sat up laughing at the pair.

"Oh shit. That's hilarious!" He teased. The two nude males looked at each other. They lay on their sides still stunned from the fall. Though Riku recovered faster than expected and sprang back onto the bed, tackling Will. Pinning his arms down Riku smirked down at the blonde.

"Not so funny now, huh?" Riku teased.

"No, just as funny. I can get away anytime I want you know?" Will snickered back. Riku tilted his head and eyed the male for a moment.

"Yeah. But why would you want to?" Riku asked sweetly.

"I don't." Will replied. Stunned Riku released Will's arms. He moved his arms up to embrace the silver haired male and ran his strong hands up his spine. Moaning Riku found his neck being assaulted with firm kisses. His Adam's apple was seized in between Will's teeth and gently pressure was applied. The slight scraping mixed with the danger of the action sent chills all along Riku's body.

"Do you like that?" Will asked having released Riku's throat. With a nod the silverette blushed deeply feeling the heat rise through his body. It had been a long time since anyone had made him feel like this. Then again he couldn't recall feeling like this at any point.

"Hey! What the hell am I? Leftover sushi?" Sora called as he leapt back onto the bed. Will continued exploring Riku's body and opted to kiss and touch his chest and abdomen while Sora seized Riku's head in his hands and forced the taller man to kiss him on the lips. Riku ran his hands along Sora's chest feeling the taught muscles, though smaller than his or Will's, they were hard as stone. With an experimenting pinch Riku seized Sora's nipples in between his thumb and index finger. When Sora' moaned in delight Riku pinched harder.

"Ow! God damn! What are you doing?" Sora hollered as he backed away. Rubbing his abused nipples he glared at Riku.

"Sorry. It's just my experience with other guys is that they like that. Argh! Shit! That hurt." Riku glared down at Will who looked up in surprise. He had given Riku's thigh a bite and had clearly over estimated Riku's enjoyment of pain.

"Sorry about that. Got carried away..." Will trailed off. The three were left looking at each other for a time. Slowly they began to laugh at one another. Sitting back they took in the moment. It was strange for Riku to be so clueless about having sex with a man. Then again, Sora was used to women and from what he remembered Kairi was a very gentle lover. How did he remember? He never met Kairi.

"That look on your face..." Sora trailed off. He looked at Riku who now stared on seriously. The laughter died. Sora put an arm on Riku's shoulder.

"You okay?"

"No. I just remembered you being with Kairi."

"What how?"

"Ah. You two really had no idea what you were doing when you performed the ritual. It wasn't just our hearts that bound. Our memories fused together too. Over time we'll be able to recall all the intimate details about one another. That'll take years though." Will supplied lazily. The other two looked on stunned.

"That's why I saw that Xigbar asshole being tortured." Sora breathed.

"Mm-hmm."

"You actually ground his dick off with a belt sander?" Sora asked incredulously.

"Yep." Will shrugged a bit and moved to embrace the pair.

"Well, that's a lot better than what I had in mind." Sora spoke softly.

"Well, I've been at this for ten years."

"Why do you do it?" Riku asked. His chin rested on top of Will' head. The blond sighed heavily.

"You know why I kill those people. I guess what keeps me going at the end of the day is the thought...belief that it means something in the grand scheme. It has to be for a reason. Otherwise I'm no better than them. And I can't bear that." Will answered. Riku nodded and pulled back a bit. Looking down he looked at the mark on Will's left breast. The Wolf's head with silver fur and red eyes. It was majestic as it clutched a sword in its maw. The Prussian blue shield in the background was ornate with numerous symbols that they had seen on the swords the guardians had given them. Riku placed a hand on the mark and Will stiffened under the touch.

"What's wrong?" Sora asked turning to look at what Riku was doing.

"Still hurts..." Will gave a wry chuckle.

"Why doesn't mine?" Riku asked in wonder. With the pair staring at him he could only sigh and shrug.

"Because unlike you. I marked myself. You two earned your marks. Yours were given by the guardians. I took mine through force of will. Had I known what that would entail when I did it...let's just say I would have second thoughts. But then I think about..." Will trailed off a smile on his face. Riku tilted his head in confusion.

"Think about what?" Sora asked touching Will's cheek.

"Both of you. You make it all worth it." Will's features softened. No longer focusing on his stoic demeanor he allowed his face to show pure joy, even allowing tears to form in the corners of his eyes. Both lunged forward and embraced him their throats choked with emotion. They stayed like that for a few moments, enjoying both the warmth and the closeness. When they withdrew from each other Riku and Sora noticed a change.

"Where did all those scars come from?" Riku asked looking over the various thin white lines that ran over Will's chest, arms, and face. Pursing his lips Will muttered an apology. He began focusing his aura again but Riku's hands on his shoulders stopped him. Looking into aqua eyes Will's own showed a deep desire. With a kiss on the forehead Riku offered his acceptance without judgment.

"As I told you, I almost got caught on the first ones. And not all of the people I killed were actually people. Some were vampires, werewolves a few were possessed by demons. None were particularly powerful of course but a challenge for me at the time." Will responded looking down. He felt guilty for not telling them sooner. Riku traced a facial scar gently with his finger. It ran from the inner tear duct of the right eye, next to Will's nose and ran down at an angle across his cheek eventually disappearing at the end of Will's jaw line. Sora took the opportunity to traced another scar. This one was a line that ran straight down from Will's forehead over his eye and stopping just past his cheek bone. Will eyes closed shivered.

"How did you...?" Riku began.

"I learned how to use several kinds of...'spells' I guess. I can create illusions and manipulate my body from its original form. That's actually why I have such a large...you know." Will blushed, ashamed. The other two males stopped what they were doing and looked at him with a mix of amusement and surprise.

"You mean you're not naturally that big?" Sora asked. Riku smirked knowingly.

"Yeah so I grew myself a few...inches..." Will glared at the smaller male.

"Hey, I get it. I've wondered what it'd be like to have a bigger tool. So how is it?" Sora beamed.

"Uncomfortable, to be honest. It's a pain in the ass to find a pair of pants that fit right. And you just can't find underwear that fits." Will chucked.

"Do you need it to be that big?" Riku asked his hand on Will's shoulder.

"Yeah, I mean, I'm scarred about the thought of having sex with one guy let alone two and that horse dick of yours is really making me...uneasy is the best word I guess." Sora rubbed the back of his head. Riku smiled warmly at the blond who nodded and focused his red aura. Before their eyes they watched Will's manhood shrink several inches.

"Eight and a half small enough for you?" Will asked.

"I suppose so. Looks human now." Sora teased earning a glare from the blond. Despite the taunt Will began laughing and soon the other two did as well.

"Why are we laughing?" Sora asked between breaths.

"Just the whole situation." Riku replied panting.

"Hey Will?" Sora asked as he caught his breath. The blond looked at the brunette seriously.

"Hmm?"

"Don't cover your scars anymore ok?" Sora asked.

"Alright. I won't.

"Yeah. No reason to hide from them. And they make you look sexy as hell." Riku smirked. Will turned redder than a tomato. He never thought anyone would accept his scars much less find them attractive. He felt a sudden shiver run up his spine as Sora trailed his fingers up and down his back gently. Taking Sora's lead Riku leaned in and began kissing the blonde's neck while simultaneously running his hands firmly up and down Will's smooth, bare chest. Breath hitching Will arched his back into Sora's body. The sneaky brunette had positioned himself behind the blond man and was now massaging his scalp with one hand while cupping Will's cheek with his free hand and kissing the larger male forcefully.

The sudden booming of a gunshot tore the trio from their activities and without a thought they rushed out the bedroom door and to the foyer. Hearts beating with intense urgency they leapt down the stairs, their weapons materializing in their hands at a thought. There was a second gunshot followed by a scream. A man's scream but a scream nonetheless. It had come from the dining room and the trio braced themselves for a fight. With a shout Will kicked the kitchen door which gave way and flew about five feet straight in front of him. Faintly he registered the sound of startled gasps and groans of pain. Sure enough there were several people in suits with pistols in hand aiming at Squall, Tidus, Tifa, Zack and Aerith who had their guns leveled at the people in suits. There were others in between, Sora noticed that Axel was on the floor blood streaming from his shoulder and Roxas was at his side with a cloth holding it to the wound though Axel's blood had soaked through.

"What in the fuck is going on here?!" Will bellowed. The windows shook with his voice and a few of the people they didn't know jumped in shock. No one with a firearm presented looked his way. Face contorting with rage Will stormed forward ignoring the glances the strangers gave him. Riku and Sora stayed at his flanks and the three moved in between the two parties. Will glared first at the suits and then at his friends. Tapping his fingers on the large wooden table he waited for just a few seconds.

"If somebody don't tell me what you slimy, communist, shit-stains are up to, I'm gonna kick all y'all's asses!" Will bellowed again. This time a glass fell from the table and broke. It seemed to emphasis his point as both parties lowered their guns and shifted slightly. Muttering among themselves Zack was the first to speak.

"Reno there got a little to friendly with Tifa for Tidus' liking and he shot at him. He's kinda not all there right now so don't blame him too much. He thinks she's his sister." Zack looked back sympathetically. Tidus went to say something but was silenced by Tifa's hand gently touching his shoulder. Looking down Sora's friend shuffled his feet for a few seconds and muttered a half –hearted apology with the one of the suits seemed to accept quickly. He had long black hair tied into a pony-tail, his full goatee was shiny with some kind of oil and while he did not appear old, the worry lines and crows feet that adorned his face suggested he'd seen some really intense events.

"What about Axel? Your fuckin' blond slut just shot him!" Roxas shouted. Said blond went to raise her gun again. That was a mistake because Riku being the most agile of the mediating trio, with inhuman speed leapt forward and took her gun from her hand and then threw her to the ground. She landed with a cry of pain and rolled around slightly as if to attack but found her own gun inches from her face. Thinking better of it she did not resist. Though her companions now held guns to Riku's head. They soon disappeared in flames, all three. Riku gave the blond girl a smug smirk.

"We're on a whole different level, bitch." Riku smirked as he spoke feeling very confident.

"As you can see, the three of us can easily kill every one in this room. So no more lies. No more distractions. The truth only. Start talking!" Will growled.

"She was panicked. And disobeyed orders." The male voice was behind every one else. A blond with crystal blue eyes, not unlike Sora's, dressed in tan slacks and a white overcoat strode forward nonchalantly. He was of average height but still was taller than Sora if only barely. He emitted the aura of a businessman, smug, confident and arrogant. Stopping at the edge of the table he simply stood there as if expecting someone to introduce him.

"Rufus Shinra. President of the Shinra Conglomerate. Probably one of the richest men in the world, or was anyway." Will spoke grimly a scowl forming on his face. There was no hiding his animosity for that man and Sora found himself glaring at the blond newcomer. Shrugging Rufus simply brushed his hair from his eyes.

"We found out that there were some of the fabled Asunae Knights in our midst. Not only that but Organization XIII had someone here as well. Reno came to me last night after your little stunt with the recovery room and told me all about your little marks. So naturally I was going to have a meeting with you three anyway but unfortunately with this news came a great deal of unease and mistrust. As a result Elena, the blond your silver haired friend is holding to the ground, became rather irate and decided to do some digging. This morning she came to me with evidence that Axel was the Organization member and asked for my permission to eliminate him. I denied her that of course. We can ill afford such petty actions anymore. Regardless she disobeyed my orders and confronted Axel here. I'm sure you can piece the rest together for yourself." Rufus ended his speech by walking forward past Will and Sora without a second glance. Walking to the pony-tailed man he whispered into his ear. Nodding the man signaled to Rude and Reno who moved to Elena.

"And why would the head of Shinra want to meet with us?" Will scowled turning to look at the blond. He had dismissed his sword and stood arms folded over his broad chest. Though nude the three knights gave off an aura of danger that the others in the room took very seriously. Rufus tapped his chin with a finger idly for a moment before looking Will straight in the eye.

"You have one of reports. And I have the feeling there is something you aren't revealing to us." Rufus challenged.

"You too, frankly I should kill you where you stand for what you've done."

"Yes. But you can't. You need me to access the reports, my chief of security, Tseng as well. He's the one with the pony-tail. I would appreciate you not killing anymore of my security. They are rather difficult to replace." Rufus said almost bored.

"Keep them under control and there will be no further trouble." Will replied.

"I understand. Reno, prepare the viewing room, would you?" Rufus turned to look at said redhead. Reno nodded solemnly, knowing he may not see Axel again. Stiffly, Reno walked out of the room followed closely by Rude. They escorted Elena out as they did so. Being cautious they left through the side door so they didn't have to pass by Will or Sora. Riku walked to Will's side, cracking his neck as he did so.

"How many of the reports do you have?"

"I have the fifth disc. And you?"

"Number two. You know we can't access the files without the other four discs."

"Yes. But you have a disc from Professor Gast. I'd like to see it." Rufus answered with a knowing smile. Will nodded. He was becoming annoyed with the man. Riku and Sora's hands on each of his shoulders quickly subdued his burgeoning anger. Relaxing his gave a scowl and turned to leave.

"Wait. Can't you help him?" Turning to look, Will found Roxas holding out a hand to them. His other hand held Axel's wound and the pain in his eyes was sharp and clear. Pursing his lips Will shook his head. He knew he couldn't help an organization member.

"Please! For the love of god…help." Roxas' voice trailed off and he began sobbing softly. Normally he didn't cry in front of other people, with the exception of Sora, but he didn't care. He could feel Axel's life slipping and while the wound was to his shoulder, it must have hit a vein because there was far too much blood for it to be a regular wound to the flesh. Axel began shaking and went deathly pale. He was going to lose the love of his life, he knew it.

"William." Sora's voice was soft. It was all it took. Stepping forward Will knelt by Axel's side and summoned his red aura. He heard gasps from some of the people, including Axel and Roxas but he was certain he heard Rufus as well. Seems the president didn't believe in the legend. Carefully, Will placed a hand on Axel's wound and focused. Axel moaned and arched his back, but within a few seconds it was all over. The color returned to the redhead's skin and he stopped shaking.

"Thank you. Thank you." Roxas sprang to his feet and hugged Will tightly. Overcome with joy Roxas didn't care what other people thought. Axel stood and wrapped his arms around Roxas' waist and pulled him away. They shared a tender kiss before exiting the dining room. They had a lot to discuss, Will knew. What he didn't know was how Sora had only needed to say a single word, his name to get him to do that.

'Is this feeling what love is?' Will thought to himself for a moment. Riku and Sora touched his back. Though the scars on his back would normally flare up, under their gentle caresses they eased. Sighing, the blond ran a hand through his hair and turned to leave.

"So you guys together now?" Will heard Zack call behind him. Pursing his lips he thought for a moment.

"Yes. We are." Riku beat him to the punch. Smiling softly at his lover Will kissed the silverette on the lips. Blushing Will retracted and realized that he was not only nude but he was kissing another nude male and they were in full view of their friends. Suddenly the blond felt very embarrassed. Sora threw an arm around Will's shoulder just as much a gesture of support as one of him seeking said support.

"Wow! Sora you're a homo too?" Tidus asked incredulously.

"Guess I am now. Relax Tidus we're still friends." Sora answered.

"Now were you guys in the middle of something?" Zack teased.

"Yes." Will answered bluntly, Zack found himself nearly choking on air.

"Wha-what were you doing?"

"What the fuck do you think? We were about to have sloppy, unlubed butt-sex. Jesus Christ. Like talking to a fucking wall. Dumb as a goddamn post. Mother fucking…." Will's voice faded as he stormed out of the room and back up the stairs. He felt a little bit more than mortified that he had said that and was unaware of the shocked state he'd left all the other people in the dining room in. And though Sora and Riku were equally shocked they kept right on Will's heels.

"I can't believe you said that!" Sora chirped.

"Neither can I." Will responded.

"I'm glad you did. Being strong enough to be open about our involvement is a sign that you don't want to hurt us in any way." Riku said his thought aloud.

"I would never want to hurt either of you. You're my…." Will trailed off, his voice quivering. With a hand from each of his lovers on his back he stopped in his tracks on the stairs.

"What are we to you?" Riku prodded gently.

"You're my…angels." Will answered quietly. Turning to look at his lovers they saw tears forming in the corners of his eyes. They brushed them away and gave him reassuring smiles. They continued on to the top of the stairs and went back into the room, in silence they dressed though they watched each other's movements closely. They all felt arousal and desire build in their bodies. They knew it would be a while before they could consummate their de facto marriage.

'Hmm...that was weird. I thought I was married to Riku and Will there for a second. Wait, am I? That ritual…" Sora was dragged from his musings by Will's strong hand on his head. He ran his fingers through Sora's spiky hair and the smaller male moaned slightly at the touch. They finished dressing in their old clothes quickly and with no further awkwardness. When they went to leave they were met at the door by Axel.

"Look, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I said about you. It was way out of line. Honestly, I was only that way because I heard from higher up in the Organization that you were a knight. They told me to kill you however I could. I never thought anyone else knew who I was but when Elena shot me I was scared. I thought I'd leave Roxas alone and I promised him that he'd never be alone again. I've denounced the Organization. Roxas watched me burn the Token of Anubis the proof of our loyalty. I can only beg your forgiveness. Roxas won't speak to me right now but I hope he'll come around. And…if, no, when he does, I would like your permission to marry your brother Sora." Axel looked Sora straight in the eye, emerald and sapphire locking in a test of wills.

"I'll consider it. Promise to never cause harm to Roxas or any other person who does not deserve it." Sora spoke firmly almost like a true samurai. Axel nodded vigorously when he heard Sora's voice. It had grown harsher in the past month but still held the boyishness that most had come to know.

"Of course, I won't disappoint you. Oh and my room is yours to use as you wish. I heard you three were planning some kinky stuff. I would advise against any toys you find in there as they are not clean at all. But, there is lube and condoms in the medicine cabinet that you can use And Sora thank you. You too, Will." With that Axel was a blur of red going down the stairs. The three blinked for a moment before laughing among themselves. This day was turning out to be so peculiar they couldn't help it.

An hour later everyone was situated in a dark room. There was a projection screen that was pulled down from the ceiling. Zack and Aerith sat in the metal folding chairs hands intertwined tightly, Tidus and Tifa sat beside each other as well, Tidus arm was around Tifa like a brother protecting his sister, Elena, Rufus, Tseng, Rude and Reno all sat to one side of the room. Axel disappointed manned to computer, controlling the projector. Roxas sat next to Sora in a huff. Squall and Yuna sat next to each other though they made no move to be close. Will sat between Sora on his left and Riku on his right. They leaned on his shoulders and he was glad to smell their gentle scents, like summer and autumn at the same time. Demyx had sauntered in out of curiosity but sat away from any of the group. He preferred his spot next to Axel.

The video on the disc started with a brief introduction from Professor Gast about how he was working on a secret government funded project in the 1980's. He briefly went over some of the details he remembered about how he never imagined there was ever a civilization as advanced as the Asunae and how he suspected their destruction is what fueled the Atlantis myth. He described working on top secret digs in South America, the Middle East and Asia, and how this tore him from his family. He apologized to everyone he'd ever wronged it was actually very heart-breaking watching the tears fall from his defeated and desperate eyes. Will paid little attention, instead focusing on Riku and Sora's scents, they were intoxicating.

The professor then spoke of how he was assaulted by a young man in the fall of 2003. The attack left him with a few cuts and bruises but the damage was minimal. He explained how this mysterious youth had spoken of the project that he had worked on and demanded more information. Gast gave what he could, which entailed contact information and old addresses. The youth who was all of twelve at the time then spoke of demons, vampires, werewolves and the like. At first Gast was despondent and gave the boy little credence, until a month later he was attacked by a creature that he later found to be a vampire. The boy appeared and killed the creature which turned out to be his old colleague named Doctor Valentine. The boy managed to kill the creature but barely survived the encounter.

After the attack and nursing the boy to health, Gast knew that the boy was special and continued to foster his abilities. The boy said he had no family and the professor opened his home to him. They never needed to tell others that he was their as his presence was sporadic, still Gast tried to get the boy to open up more. The boy refused not trusting the old man, though he appreciated the assistance. Gast next revealed that he had called his daughter Aerith on a few occasions to help the boy with his wounds, which were constant and varying in severity. She complied desperately seeking his attention and affection. The boy disguised himself and allowed her to touch him and help him in ways Gast was not.

The disc then turned to file footage of Nazis and Communists from the Second World War. It was narrated by a British man who spoke of how the Organization was suspected to have been established some time during Ancient Egyptian expansion. It migrated to the Greeks and Romans and then to the East and finally the rest of the world. It had undergone twelve incarnations up to the point of the video being made which was 1999, with last of these incarnations consisting predominately of Adolph Hitler and his inner circle. A single photograph showed a tall man with incredibly long white hair, he was known as Samiel. He originally brought Adolph Eichman under his wing and endowed him with supernatural abilities. Greedily the Nazis followed his leadership as the war had turned against them. Ultimately as the story goes Samiel was forced to abandon his host. Within six months of that Nazi Germany was defeated.

Samiel was then spotted in the Middle East and is believed to have been connected with several terrorist plots in the 1960's and 70's. However it was in the mid 1980's that a project was begun to provide him with a new host body, one that could withstand his vast power. More file footage was shown of a very small boy with silver hair slaughtering ten guards and scientists before being subdued by Samiel. The boy was brutally beaten and then violated repeatedly.

The memories flooded back to Riku. The lab and its inhabitants all flashed through his mind with vivid detail. He couldn't breath, couldn't see and he felt panic claim his mind. His chest was on fire as he stumbled out of the room and ran. He never thought of where he was going just that he needed out of the room right then. He found himself in the bathroom and promptly heaved his stomach's contents into the toilet. He remembered being raped as a young boy, humiliated in front of his brothers. He remembered how they were forced to participate. The daily tortures of his flesh being sliced and peeled away from the underlying tissue and of them exposing his insides to him and making him watch them gurgle and move until he passed out. It all came flooding back at once and he wailed loudly. What Xigbar and Saix had done soon entered into the mixture and he curled in on himself and then exploded. He thrashed about the bathroom smacking his body into everything he could. Then he heard the cackle. Sephiroth's cackle.

'It was such a treat watching you scream for help. To beg for them to stop. And when I stole your virginity you cried so sweetly. You remember now. You will always be mine.' Sephiroth's dark voice cackled manically in the background. Riku curled in on himself and wanted nothing more than to die. Summoning Ygglemir he drew the blade up his left arm and watched the dark blood pour out. He never tried to heal himself. His vision blurred and he welcomed his death, praying it would be the last time.

Death did not come however. Sora and Will did. They grabbed him healed his various wounds and hugged him tightly. It was enough for Riku to suppress Sephiroth, though he knew it was temporary. He shuddered in their arms as they held him. He knew what he was and that he was nothing but a fuck toy. He wanted so desperately to end the pain, but being in those strong arms in his time of weakness made Riku feel happy and secure for the first time in his life. He couldn't remember anyone being so tender with him as these two.

"Hang in there, love." Will spoke huskily into Riku's ear. He found himself rubbing the silverette's head and back. Sora's arms snaked around Riku's body and held his chest and torso tightly. The brunette planted soft kisses on the back of Riku's neck making him shiver from the contact. It was apparent that he was in the midst of a panic attack and needed rest.

"I'm a fucking monster!" Riku bellowed. A strange feeling of mortification crept over him and he didn't want to be seen like this. He tried to force his way out of Will's grasp. When struggling didn't work he slapped Will in the face. Then he punched him and bit and kicked. Soon he was choking on sobs and he scratched and fought furiously to escape. Will thought he was bloodied, bruised and scraped up never lost his gentle smile and eventually Riku calmed down. He lay against Will's chest for a long while; he listened to his heartbeat and his breathing. He could feel Sora's as well and felt warm all over.

"There we go. You're not a monster. No more than me or Will that's for sure." Sora whispered into Riku's ear. The silverette stiffened at that and tried to shrug free again.

"How could they do that to me?!" Riku wailed. A new onslaught of tears threatened to come but the gentle treatment he was being given kept them at bay.

"There is evil in the world. It comes for everyone at one time or another, usually more than once. Its whether we give in to it and let it destroy us or if we persevere and conquer it that make the difference. In the time I've known you, you've done terrible things and let evil in your heart. But each day you come just a little closer to getting the best of it. You have hope in your heart and I'll help you through this, all of it. Your pain is ours to share, just as ours is yours. Together we can mend our fractured spirits. Together we can find peace. Don't give up on me, now." Will spoke deliberately. His tone was firm but still gentle.

"Sorry…it's just so much." Riku mumbled.

"No worries. Everyone has a breaking point." Sora whispered in return.

"I just feel so helpless…."

"Just remember you will always have us. You are never alone."

'You are never alone.' Will's words repeated in Riku's mind a thousand times. It became a mantra. He felt the strength return to his body and he hugged Will back. Extending his aura he healed his blond lover. The he felt tired.

"Let's go to bed. It's night already." Sora spoke stifling a yawn.

'Night? But it was only ten in the morning when we started that movie.' The reality of how long he'd been on the floor being hugged by his precious lovers sunk in. It warmed his heart that they would stay there like that, never once complaining or trying to move him before he was ready. They stayed there and they loved him as true love does. Rising with a series of popping limbs the trio slowly made their way out of the bathroom, they were met again by Axel.

"Hey…uh…look. What I'm trying to say is, Riku doesn't look so good right now so go ahead and take my room. It's the most comfortable bed in the house and he looks like he needs his rest." Will nodded and carried Riku like a bride down the hall into the foyer and started up the stairs. He looked back at Sora who said he'd be just a minute; Riku gave an almost childish nod back.

"How're things with you and my brother?" Sora had to ask. Axel looked down to his feet and gave a nervous shrug.

"I don't know. He said he needed time to think, that my betrayal was painful to him. I should have told him I know but I did it to protect him." Axel looked into Sora's eyes and he looked as if he was on the verge of tears. Sora smiled up at the taller man and gave him a friendly punch to the arm.

"You work it out. The way he talked about you…you're his whole world." Sora encouraged. Axel smirked.

"I don't know. He was so upset. I did everything I could think of to get him to come around. I even offered to let him cum on my face. He really likes-oh sorry." Axel rubbed his head realizing what he had just said to his lover's brother. Sora shook it off though.

"It takes time and patience. Just don't do anything stupid and be honest and you guys will get over it. I have to go now." Sora smiled and walked down the hall, behind him Axel called "thank you". Tanking the stairs two at a time Sora quickly made his way to the room. He found Riku snuggled into Will's chest asleep still clearly upset. They had already stripped down and he hurriedly did the same. He climbed in bed and pressed his body as close as he could to his lovers. Though it felt strange to call them such it also felt good.

"Sora?"

"Hmm?"

"Is everything going to be okay? With us I mean?" Riku's voice was soft and pained.

"Absolutely. We have each other and we'll do whatever it takes to stay together."

"Okay. Can you kiss me?" Sora smirked and leaned in to kiss Riku's lips softly. The silverette smiled and his aqua eyes shone brightly. As soon as they let up Will planted a more forceful kiss on both of their lips. They both melted into him one at a time and they both noticed the intense blush on his light skin. He smiled and looked on with pure joy. Though they were hurt and broken they had one another, and as long as they had one another they had happiness and above all else, they had hope. They loved each other and did not want to do anything to hurt one another. At the time they couldn't have known that other forces conspired against them.

Amid the tree line was a single soldier in digital camouflage. He looked through night vision goggles, the green light of which showed him the positions of the various guards worked excellently in the dark light. The soldier did not jump when another worked his way to him being careful not to make any noise.

"It's all set major. Everyone's in position. We're good on your go." The soldier whispered. The major nodded and pressed the microphones on his throat.

"Iron Claw this is Raven Six. We are in position .What is your status?"

"Roger Six, we are in firing position with targets locked, awaiting your go." The response came.

"Badger three; you got our exit prepped right?"

"Yes sir. Just waiting for the fireworks, sir."

"Roger that. Iron Claw you are not to fire at the main structure. You are free to engage. I repeat engage."

"Affirmative." Came the response and in a matter of seconds came the whizzing of missiles overhead and the four outer building surrounding the house erupted in explosions. These were quickly followed by the chatter of machine gun fire and heavy caliber sniper rifles. The major for quickly got his team moving for an assault on the house but all the while he couldn't shake the feeling that his whole destiny, his whole life, was tied to this house. He felt chills run down his spine. For those inside who thought they'd finally found a place to call home and to rest, they had been mistaken. The peace was shattered.
