Well, look at that: two updates in one day! Aren't you all so proud of me?
They spent the rest of that night working, trying to pull up any current information on the older brother. Nothing came up….
"It's like he's completely disappeared…" Tseng muttered. When no response came he looked up to find Reno had fallen asleep, his face pressed against the keyboard so that the letter
'b' ran quickly across the screen. Tseng resisted the urge to chuckle and instead stood a kneeled by the red head's side. He really is beautiful, Tseng thought to himself as he gently
brushed back the crimson fringe. He carefully lifted Reno's head, trying not to wake him, and moved the keyboard so it was no longer pressed into his cheek.
Standing up, he stretched, and decided that a bit more coffee was definitely in order.
In the shadows of the office, a lean figure, previously unseen by both TURKs, stepped up next to the sleeping form. The man tenderly carded long fingers through the mop of crimson
haired and deftly undid the tie so that the elbow length hair flowed freely.
Acid green eyes, dull with fatigue and misery glanced at the screen and he mentally swore.
"What are you doing, Reno? You're supposed to hate me...." The man ran a hand through his own crimson mane, his soft speech spoken in a low, raspy tone as if he had been
screaming for hours. The sound of steady foot steps caused the pale figure to tense and, when Tseng reentered the room carrying two cups of steaming coffee, he was gone.
Axel stumbled into a dank, closed off house in Edge, hissing as the rising sun touched his back before he could slam the door shut. Looking into a cracked and broken glass of what had
once been a mirror, he scowled. In ten years Axel hadn't aged a day, still looking like the 23 year old he had been when this whole nightmare had started. Two gold spheres appeared
behind him and, with a startled shout he spun to face them.
"Saix…? I… I thought you were in Kalm…." The figure attached to those pale golden eyes stepped out of the shadows with a sinister smile on his face that revealed two sharp canines.
"I got back earlier than expected. I believe I told you not to leave the house." Axel whimpered softly as a pale clawed hand gripped his chin painfully tight and a blood red tear slipped
down his cheek. Saix released him long enough to bring his other hand for a slap so hard it sent Axel down to the floor with a thud.
"You're so weak," Saix hissed as he tossed his long blue hair over one shoulder. "Though I suppose that's my fault; maybe I should let you feed more often…. Is that it, Axel? Is my
pathetic little fledgling thirsty?" Axel whimpered again as a steel-toed boot pressed hard into his spine so that the vertebrae creaked ominously.
"It's your fault, you know? You'll suffer for eternity, all because of that little brat. You'd give anything to keep him safe, wouldn't you? Even a thousand lifetimes of torture." Axel
remained silent as Saix straddled the back of his legs and pushed up his thin white shirt. Bloody tears of pain fell from his eyes as painfully sharp talons ripped through the flesh of his
back and his own fangs, filed down to keep him from feeding without permission, dug into his lower lip to keep from screaming. Saix didn't like that though, he loved hearing this
pathetic excuse of an immortal scream and he knew just how to get it. With a feral growl, he tore open the fly of Axel's dirty jeans and pulled them down roughly. He ignored Axel's
struggling and pleas as he pushed his own pants down just enough to free his erection and relished in the agonized scream as he thrust into that tight little body.
"That's right," Saix grunted. "Scream for me!"
Back in Midgar, Reno and Tseng were walking, side-by-side, back to the apartment complex in the compound when Reno froze and looked in the direction of Edge. Tseng, curious,
placed a hand on his subordinate's shoulder.
"Is everything alright, Reno?" Reno blinked and turned back towards Tseng.
"Yeah… I think so…. Just got this funny feelin', for a sec. That's all."
Saix is such a douche, isn't he? Anyone care to guess about what happened to Axel? I left some pretty obvious clues, I think.
