The prison not-so-mad madness continues! Note, this chapter is by far the longest. . . . . . Or that's the plan. . . . Who cares? Enjoy.
Chapter IV: Destiny?
Reno was just about to cum. Lea Leaned down to kiss his neck. Reno moaned and wrapped his legs about Lea's waste and his arms around Lea's neck. With one more trust from Lea, he and Reno both came at the same time. Panting hard, Lea kissed Reno then laid down next to Reno, who got on top of him.
Reno stroked Lea's chest then smiled. "Lea. You remember what today is, don't you?"
Lea raised his eyebrows. He had no clue why today was so special. "No. . . I don't. What is it?"
Reno laughed. "You should remember. It's only been a year."
"A year? For what?" Lea was really confused. Reno just gave him a small smile.
"Maybe this will jog your memory." Reno pulled back his right arm and without warning, Lea felt a sharp, agonizing pain in his neck. . .
"Ah!" Lea shot up. He was panting and coded in sweat. His hands went to his neck and he looked around. He was still in his prison cell. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Lea. . . You alright?" Ienzo asked rubbing his eyes.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just go back to sleep Ienzo."Ienzo nodded and was asleep before his head hit the pillow. Lea pulled out his journal. He sighed when he saw the date. December 29. . . Reno's death day. One year today; Reno's been gone that long. Normally at the mere thought of Reno made Lea ball his eyes out, but not this time. This time, he was going to accept that Reno wasn't coming back and crying wasn't going to do anything. Lea's heart was heavy. He looked over at Isa; he was sound asleep, which made Lea smile for some reason. When Isa slept he really looked like a puppy.
Lea closed his journal and put it back under his pillow. He tried to go back to sleep, but images of his dream kept haunting him. It was no use, he was wide awake.
Sora was on his laptop drinking a beer. Aside from people leaving him alone, beer was the only thing that could make him happy. That and a good porno- movie! That and a good movie. As he watched his movie, a little envelope popped up on the screen to alert him that he had an email. Sora groaned and paused his movie. He clicked on the envelope.
"What do you want Mansex?" Sora checked the message and his eyes widened. "Fuck no!" Sora couldn't believe it. He read it over: A notice to all guards. As of tomorrow, do to overcrowding, female inmates will be joining this prison. There is nothing I can do, so don't complain.
If there was one thing Sora couldn't stand, it was the female. Other than Arlene, she proved to one with the boys. Sora laid back on his bed then heard a knock on his door. He slowly got up to open it to find Braig.
"Hey kid. I take it you got the message." Braig said as he sat down on Sora's bed.
"Yup." Sora nearly slammed his door. "It's bad enough that we have smart ass guys in this place, but to top it and make it worse, they're adding women?" Sora asked. "Beer?"
"Please." Sora tossed him one. "And I know what you mean, but here's the best part. With the newbies coming, your boyfriend will be quite busy and you won't have to see him that often."
"First off, Mansex isn't my boyfriend. I could care less for that sex addicted jackass. Second off, how so?" Sora sat next Braig, who was grinning.
"He'll be too busy keeping an eye Isa."
"Why?" Sora finished the rest of his beer.
"Because with the females joining us, Isa will be even more irritated. He can't stand women, with the exception of his grandmother."
"Why can't he stand them?" Sora asked.
Braig placed his beer down on the night stand next to him, placed Sora's laptop on the floor, and then sat over top of Sora. "That dog-like behavior of his, most women think it's cute. And seeing as how he thinks of himself as a mixed aggressive type of breed, he hates it." Braig placed his hand under Sora's neck and lifted up his head to kiss his check, which made Sora blush.
"Braig, why is Isa in here? And will you stop?" Sora pushed Braig off of him.
Braig chuckled. "Isa killed someone. And boy did he kill them. "
"How?"
"Do you want to be able to sleep tonight? But man it was like he was something else. . . But that's another story." Braig got off the bed and gave Sora his laptop back. "Night kid." He grabbed his beer and almost left Sora to himself.
"Braig, just for tonight." Braig smiled then let go of the door knob.
"Alright." Braig place the empty beer bottle on the night stand and then laid down next to Sora, who cuddled up next him.
"What?" Isa growled.
"Hey, we don't like it either." Braig say unlocking Isa's cuffs. "Just thought I'd tell ya."
"Thanks. Now I have to come up with another reason for Xehanort to leave me alone. This just gives him another reason to bug me." Isa said in a low voice.
Braig sighed. "He wants you back you know."
"To bad for him I'm not interested." Isa rubbed his wrist. "He had his chance and he blew it." Isa left Braig shaking his head. After getting his food, Isa joined the others. "Enjoy it while it last, in a few hours the male only title will be gone."
"What?" The others said together.
"You're shitting us right?" Ienzo asked. "Did they forget will a lot of us are in here?"
"I'm in here for drug abuse and child molestation." Myde said. Lea just looked at him. To Lea, Myde didn't look like the kind that liked little boys.
"I said a lot." Ienzo shot back.
"Sorry guys. I hate it to. Can't stand females." Isa growled. He looked over at Lea who looked like he was about to be sick. "Lea, are you ok?" Isa placed his hand on his knee.
" Yeah. I'm fine, just not a ladies' man." Lea smirked and kissed Isa. Even though they did that a lot, Isa and Lea didn't think of themselves as a couple, even though they were trying to figure out how to be alone.
"Really? You look like one. Maybe I should keep an eye on you?" Isa whispered in his ear.
"Alright you two love birds, save it for later." Dilan said. "There are children about." He looked over at Myde.
"Sorry, but I'm not a bird, I'm a dog." Everyone laughed and tried to finish eating. Afterwards, the gang was lead outside. Ienzo went off somewhere to hide, Myde tried to beat Dilan at basketball, and Lea and Isa were just sitting on the bleachers that were in the yard.
"Lea . . . How did you know you were gay?" Isa said while letting the snow fall on his face.
"Well. . . Once, when I was really fucked up on drugs, before I met Reno, some of the guys and I went to a strip club. The guys were really bugging me about all the girls. I couldn't tell them I wasn't really interested."
"Why not?" Isa sat up.
"When you live where I grew up, you don't say no to something like that. IT makes them think you're gay. And I wasn't sure if I was back then. I knew I was at least bi. But after one of the girls said I was pretty enough for a freebie and got me in the back room, I knew something wasn't right. After she was done, I came out of the room and made sure the guys weren't watching. I left and went home. Parents were out for the night, so went and got my mom's porn collection." Isa stared at him. "What? I come from a fucked up family. So, while watching, I found myself harder than steal and because I was so hard, I couldn't sleep that night. . . Few weeks after that, I met Reno and-"
"Ok, you can stop." Isa cut him off.
"Why?" Lea pulled Isa right up to him and placed his hand right under Isa's waste line. "Getting existed?"
Isa took a deep breath. "Maybe later." Isa turned around and placed his lips to Lea's, while running his hand through Lea's hair. "Fuck. . . Maybe . . . "
"Maybe what?" Isa and Lea looked up to find Xehanort.
Isa's eyes narrowed. "Maybe you'll find out." Braig and Luxord chuckled. Xehanort shot them death glares, which made them stop, and then turned back to Isa.
"Can we talk like gentlemen?" Xehanort sighed.
Isa tilted his head. "Gentlemen? That's funny."
"Isa, please."
"Fine. You have five minutes." Isa got down from the bleachers and followed Xehanort.
"Five minutes?"
"Four now. Get on with it." Isa growled.
"I can't it explain it all now." Xehanort took Isa's hand. "But, if you spend on night with me, I can explain it all then." Xehanort had Isa up against a wall.
"Never." Isa was on the verge of snarling. "I don't even want to be on the same planet as you, let a long sleep with you."
Xehanort sighed. "If you do, I'll get you out of here."
"What?" Isa's eyes turned puppyish. "How?"
"I'm the warden. I can sign your release papers." Isa froze. . .
While Lea was sitting on the bleachers, Sora walked up to him.
"Hey. Did you hear the news?"
"Yup. So, how do you deal with the female?" Lea asked. Sora rolled his eyes.
"Not well. They never take me seriously." Sora said. "So, want your shower now, or later?"
"Seeing as how the females will be here this afternoon, now's fine." Sora nodded and lead Lea to the inmate showers. After getting undressed and into the actual shower, he found an empty spot next to an almost friend. "Hey Marly." Lea said taking the spot.
"Hey. So, where's your puppy?" Marluxia asked with a sly smirk.
"For the last time, he's not my puppy." Lea threw his head back as Marluxia put his hands on his hips.
"The two of you have been sucking face since Christmas. You two are together and don't give me that friends-with-benefits shits. "
"Then I won't. I guess you could say I'm his prison bitch then." Lea smirked.
"No, you're not."Lea and Marluxia turned around to see Isa standing behind them. He took the spot next to Lea.
"Now why's that?" Marluxia asked.
"Because I'm always bottom. Always." Isa smiled.
"Really? Is that why you're not with Myde?" Lea asked leaning against the wall.
"Yeah." Isa let the water run down his face. Lea smiled.
After everyone else left, Lea looked around to make sure it was just him and Isa. Quietly, Lea walked up behind Isa and wrapped his arms around Isa's waste, which made Isa flinch, but then Isa leaned back into Lea's touch.
"Xehanort, you know he's watching, right?" Isa turned around to wrap his arms around Lea's neck.
"Yeah . . . I know, and I don't care." Lea whispered in Isa's ear. "Let him watch." Lea pressed Isa against the wall was he kissed him.
Xehanort just sat there and watched as Lea ran his hand down Isa's side. Sora looked over his shoulder at the screen.
"Look at them. . ." Xehanort was glaring at the screen but mostly at Lea for doing the very thing he was trying to prevent from happening.
"I'd rather not. I believe people, even prison inmates, have a right to privacy." Xehanort turned to Sora.
"Sora, why do I get the feeling that you feel an attachment to number VIII?" Sora gulped and his heart started racing. Xehanort stood up. "Do you feel an attachment?"
Sora hadn't thought about it before. He knew he felt sorry for Lea, but nothing more. . . Or did he? "He's just a friend." Sora decided on.
"Is that so? Last time I checked, you didn't want to go anywhere near him." Xehanort had Sora cornered. "What changed that?"
"I don't see how that matters to you. How he's involved with my life is none of you concern." Xehanort's hand went straight to Sora's throat.
"My dear Sora, everything in this prison is my business. The inmates, the guards, and the relationships in between, is my business." Xehanort's voice was growing cold.
Sora was starting to panic. "It's no wonder Isa doesn't want you." He whispered then he felt a sharp pain hit his cheek and he was on the floor. With tears flooding his eyes, Sora looked up at Xehanort. His face was cold.
"Don't ever say that again." His voice matched his expression. Sora shook his head then bolted out of the office. No one had ever hit him like that. He was beat up in school for being gay, but he was never hit by someone he trusted. Once he got to his room and the door was shut, he broke down.
There was a knock on his door. "Just go away!" He didn't want see anyone. But Luxord being Luxord, using Sora's spare cardkey, opened Sora's door.
"Sora, what happened?" Luxord pulled Sora up to look at him.
"Xehanort! That's what happened! I can't stand that bastard!" Sora was getting worked up.
"Sora, calm down. What did he do?" Luxord asked.
Sora shook his head. "I don't want you to get involved. But I want to keep Xehanort away from me."
"Ok, you're making this very difficult. So come on. We've got females to deal with."
"If it will get you to shut up." Sora groaned and wiped his eyes.
"It just might." Luxord smiled then lead Sora outside. Along with the other guards, Sora and Luxord were lined up outside. Xehanort was standing up on a balcony watching the buses pass through the gates. Inside, the inmates placed under lockdown. Lea and Isa were hand cuffed and being lead back to their cell by a big buff guy with brown hair. Once the guy opened the cell, Myde popped up from his bunk.
"Hey, Elaeus! Are females here yet?" Myde asked.
"Yeah. They should be here now." Once the cuffs were off, Lea and Isa turned towards the gate. "Now behave Isa. Xehanort's not in the best mood right now."
"Elaeus, give him a message for me, he can't compete. He'll know what it means." Isa said.
"Will do." Elaeus turned away as Myde yelled out 'Bye bye Elaeus.' After he was gone, all eyes turned to Lea and Isa. To avoid eyes, Lea went straight to his bunk.
"Care to explain why the warden's not in a good mood?" Dilan asked.
"Seeing as how it's self explanatory, not really." Isa laid back on his bunk and decided to wait.
At that moment, Myde's face lit up. "You two did it, didn't you?" Lea took his journal and hit himself in the head.
"Myde, if this is you sober, I'd hate to see you high." Lea said. Isa just rubbed his temples.
"Yeah, you would. But I can't believe it! Puppy finally-"
"Finish that statement and you'll be having nightmares for a week Myde." Myde shut up at that. Lea was impressed. Ignoring the rest of them, Lea started writing.
God I don't even know how to start. I guess I could say it was weird. My dream about Reno; he told me that today was the one year anniversary of his death. Then later on, I found out women are going to be coming to this prison, which is a drag. After that, while Isa and I are in the shower, I had sex with him. . . It was strange and wonderful at the same time. When Reno and I were intimate with each other, I felt passion and trust. With Isa just now, I left trust and something else. . . Lust? I don't know. What I do know is that if Myde doesn't stop looking over my shoulder, I'm going to knock his teeth in.
Myde got down from his bunk as Lea turned around and look at him. Myde got back on his bunk and tried to act casual, but failed. Then the boys heard the sound of cell gates opening and closing. Isa and Dilan got up to see what was going on. Isa caught sight of Braig and Vexen escorting some girls into different cells.
"We don't get paid enough to do this." Braig said.
"At least you get paid." Isa smirked.
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you. Mansex is furious about what happened." Braig said patting Isa's shoulder through the bars. "But, there's nothing he can do about it. But now the real fun begins. The other boys that amazingly haven't found a prison bitch yet will be all up on the girls. Arlene will really be busy now."
"She'll have company." Everyone laughed at Isa's comment.
After dinner, which was really confusing for people, things started to quiet down. Except for Myde.
"Ok, was it hard and rough?"
"Myde, shut up!" Isa and Lea said together.
"Yeah, the details might corrupt your mind." Ienzo said.
"I agree." Dilan said. "Besides, I'm sure you don't want to hear about two grown men and their sex lives. It can get really graphic."
"Yeah, because this is really graphic." Isa said straddling Lea's waist.
"Oh god! This really graphic. Here, let me make it rated R." Lea went for the front of his pants.
"No!" Dilan said leaping from his bunk to stop Lea, only to trip and land right on top of him, forcing everyone to laugh.
Once things really settled down and everyone was asleep, Isa cuddled up close to Lea, who nipped Isa's neck. After a while the two of them went to sleep.
"Lea . . ." Lea knew that voice. It was Reno's voice. "Lea, I'm happy for you." Lea saw Reno's face. He was happy, yet sad.
"Reno. . ." Lea's eyes opened and he sat up. He looked over at Isa, he was sound asleep. Lea smiled and rolled over. Then he caught the glimpse of a glow. He rubbed his eyes to find Sora sitting next to the cell gate. It looked like he was crying, which was Lea's cue to get up. "Hey, you ok?"
"I'll be alright." Sora sighed. "Just need to think."
"Did something happen?"
"No. . . ." Lea noticed that Sora's card key was sticking out of his pocket. He reached through the gate's bars and swiped it. Sora jumped up. "Hey!"
"Shhh! You'll wake them up and you know how Isa gets." Lea ran the key trough the lock and the gate opened.
"Yeah. I wouldn't want to wake up your boyfriend. Sora said sitting back down.
"'Boyfriend'?" Lea repeated sitting down next to Sora. "Isa and I aren't together." He gave Sora his card key back.
"That's a little hard to believe. I saw the security video of you two. Even though I didn't want to . . ." Sora turned away from Lea to hide the blush that was rising on his cheeks.
"Man Xehanort's a prev. Can't take a shower without him watching."
"You can in the guard's dorm, but I think he'll change that soon. . ."
"Sora, what did he do?" Lea's Face was serious and his eyes were stern. Sora then realized how Reno fell in love with Lea. It was those eyes and Lea's protective nature, which made you feel safe every time you were with him.
"He. . ." A large lump formed in Sora's throat. Why did he find it easy and hard to talk to Lea at times? Was it because, like Reno, he was falling in love with him?
"Did he hit or rape you? Sora you can tell me." Lea put his hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Look, I'm scared. I know you have really bad anger issues, and I don't want you on death road." Sora said while his eyes started tearing up. "Knowing that, I also know you'll try and do something to get Xehanort back and he'll make to where you'll be there for sure!"
"Sora, I don't care what happens to me, but I am worried about you. You're my friend, and also, in case you haven't noticed, Xehanort's three times your size." Sora gave Lea a slight smile. He was falling for him. "So what did he do?"
Sora found himself face to face with Lea. He gave up. "All I said was that I understood why Isa didn't want him. . ." A tear ran down Sora's cheek. Lea pulled him closer. "Then he hit me. . . The bastard." He mumbled.
Lea chuckled. "Now that . . . was . . . brave-" Lea was cut off when his lips were pressed against Sora's. Sora found himself in a daze. Everything seemed to stop. Everything seemed to disappear. It was just him and Lea. Sora was starting to feel dizzy and he felt like he was going to melt. He thought it was a good thing he wasn't standing up. Lea thought the same thing. Only, he felt different. He felt, warmth. Warmth he never felt before. Sora, he was so child like Lea felt like he had to protect Sora somehow. And kissing him right now felt like the only.
Lea broke the kiss remembering that at some point the two of them had to breathe. He looked into Sora's two ocean deep eyes; just as Sora looked into his deep green eyes. Lea saw happiness, confusion, and a hint of fear. Sora saw happiness and an urge to protect. Sora felt safe. Lea felt something Reno never made him feel. Reno made him feel love and acceptance, but also dangerous and outgoing. Because Reno entered his life, Lea was the way he was, and Lea owed him that. But Sora, for some reason, right now, Sora made him feel like, he had a heart. After killing Reno, Lea felt like he was heartless. But now, Sora was changing that.
Sora hesitated for a moment, but the wrapped his arms around Lea's neck and kissed him again. It was the same feeling for both of them. This time, more intense. Lea laid back to let Sora on top of him, straddling his waist. Sora wasn't sure what he was doing, but it wasn't anything he had done with his ex-boyfriend. Lea wanted to take Sora right then and there, but he knew this wasn't the right time or place. If he was going to do it with Sora, he wanted to do in a place where they could be alone and left alone.
Sora was on the verge of taking his uniform off and Lea was about to help him when-
"Awwww." The two of them looked up to find Lea's cell mates watching them.
"You all had to kill it, didn't you?" Lea said letting Sora get up off of him.
"Blame Sora. He's the one that woke us up." Isa said rubbing his eyes. "And now we know why."
"Yeah. How'd you get out there anyway?" Dilan asked.
"Stole his cardkey." Lee smirked standing up. "Be careful." He stole Sora's card key again and let himself inside the cell.
"I will. Night." Slowly, Sora left the cell to go back to his room. Lea on the other hand was in for a long night. Nothing he might come up with would make Myde shut up and Isa clearly wasn't going to help him. But Isa was too tired to care. He grabbed lea's wrist and pulled him back to his bunk. Lea didn't know how tired he was till he put his head down. He was out cold in seconds.
Sora kept his head down on his way back to his room. He also didn't want to pass Xehanort's office, so he took the long way back to his room. But once he climbed up the stairs, his hopes of getting by Xehanort were dashed when he saw him standing by his door. There was no avoiding it now. . . Then again, he could always spend the night in Luxord's or Braig's room. Luxord had rum and Braig had a lot of drinks to get you drunk. Just as Sora was about to turn around, Xehanort caught sight of him. Sora found Xehanort's orange eyes that usually were bursting with fire, ice cold and made a chill run up Sora's spin. Swallowing his fear, Sora continued the walk to his room. He stopped when he was just a few feet away from Xehanort.
"Ya know something, Sora." Xehanort said approaching him. "I said Luxord could spend one night with his prison lover, I never said you could."
Sora took a deep breath. "That's because I never asked. And Lea's not my lover, we just kissed."
"Bull shit. It sure as hell didn't look that way. It looked like you were about to strip down and let him take you right there." Xehanort retorted.
"So what if I was?" Sora started to walk past Xehanort, when he grabbed Sora's waist.
"I don't want you going anywhere near him. If I catch you with him alone, he'll be placed in solitary confinement and a letter will be sent to Ansem. Got it?"
"Don't ask me, ask him. He told me he didn't care what happened to him, so long as nothing happened to me." Sora broke free of Xehanort's grip and went to his room. Once the door was closed, he took off his uniform and curled under the covers of his bed. Sora tried to sleep, but the kiss kept replaying in his mind. He still felt the tingling sensation. After exhaustion took over, Sora was sound asleep. . .
The next day, Xehanort called Lea into his office. It was just the two of them and neither one of them wanted to break the cold ice between them. But Lea recalled when he first got here that Xehanort said they would become friends, but as it turned out, Lea was becomes more of a foe to Xehanort, and that's how Lea liked it.
Finally Xehanort broke the ice. "You've been quite the pain these past few weeks, and it's coming to an end."
"Really? A pain to who? Just you or Isa when I had my dick in his ass?" Lea smirked and that made Xehanort snap.
"That's another thing, don't ever do that again!"
"Why? He seemed to like it. In fact, it was his idea. As I recall, he kissed me first." Lea said coldly, making Xehanort's blood boil.
"It doesn't matter whose idea it was, point blank, it better not happen again." Xehanort snapped.
"Why not? It's not like he's going back to you, and if he is, he's not as smart as I gave him credit for." Lea's eyes met Xehanort's. Both had hatred for the other and it showed. "Isa's not the only reason I'm here, now is he?"
"No, he's not. You catch on quickly." Xehanort placed his head up to his hands.
"I did graduate high school. I'm not stupid." Lea mumbled.
"Sora. . . You're not to go anywhere near him. If you're found anywhere near him, you'll be sent to solitary confinement. Also, I'll send a letter to Ansem about your unruly behavior and see about putting you on death road. Do you understand?" Xehanort's tone was cold.
"Understand what, that you'll have me put on death road just because I feel in love with someone and slept with your ex boyfriend? Wow, that's really low. I wonder what Isa will think when I tell him that." Lea's eyes were taunting.
"You're really trying my patients."
"And you're getting on my nerves." Lea sighed.
"Let's just get one thing straight, Isa doesn't belong to you-"
"He doesn't belong to you either! He's his own person! And if you really cared about him, you'd respect that! As for Sora, he's young and has his own life to live! He won't get that chance if take it away from him!" Lea banged his fist down on the desk. "And if he wants to be with me, even though I'm never getting out of here, then so be it. You can't keep him from me. The second I get a chance to be alone with him, I'm taking it. Got it memorized?" Xehanort was silent. "Oh, and one more thing, if you ever touch him, without his consent, I'll put myself on death road by killing you. Got it?"No one had ever spoken to him like that, mainly because no one dared to. And with that being said, Lea opened the office door and met Braig outside who couldn't help but smile at him. He placed his hand on Lea's shoulder for having the balls to tell Xehanort how it was. . .
Two weeks later, and Xehanort was sticking to his word. To make sure Sora was kept away from Lea, Xehanort kept him stationed in his office. He also kept a close watch on Sora's room, being as how his room wasn't far from the office. Sora couldn't stand it and neither could Lea. When Lea told Isa what Xehanort told him, Isa nearly ripped the cell's gate off its hinges.
Now, Lea was sitting in the bleachers watching Isa and Dilan gang up on Ienzo and Myde. They looked like two bullies picking on two nerds. It was funny. Lea then looked over to the main building where Xehanort's main office was. He could just make out Sora's small figure looking back at him. It really made him wonder what kind of man Xehanort really was.
"Hey, Mate. You doing ok?" Luxord asked sitting next to him.
"What does Xehanort want with Sora? He can't possibly love him." Lea sighed.
Luxord sighed. "Let me take you back to your cell. It's getting cold and it's pretty clear you don't want to be referee." He looked over at Dilan and smiled. Lea had to agree. Dilan looked badass, but couldn't hurt a fly. Lea followed Luxord. Once it was just them, Luxord turned around to face Lea. "First off, you didn't hear it from me, but Xehanort's going crazy without Isa sleeping by him at night. So he figured by using Sora, he could get Isa back, but as you can tell, Isa saw right through that. Now he just uses him to keep him away from you. Rather sick if you ask me."
"How did Isa end up here anyway?" Lea asked shivering.
"He didn't tell you? I'd thought you'd be the first. But it doesn't matter who tells who, it's a gruesome tale." Luxord turned to look out at the ocean (the prison's on an island). "Three years ago, Isa use to work as a prison guard and he was transferred here. Of course no one knew at the time that he and Xehanort were together, but we did wonder why he wore a collar. Whenever anyone would ask, he'd just growl or say it's his trade mark. Then one day Braig found out and Isa wasn't so happy about that. He spent a whole day hunting for him, and when he found him, let's just say Braig couldn't sit for a week." Luxord smiled. "Then one day, Isa went into Xehanort's office to talk him, then, after about five seconds, he came out and practically ripped the collar off from around his neck. Xehanort came out right behind him. 'Isa, wait.' He said. Isa just turned around and said coldly, 'It's over.' He threw the collar at Xehanort who was staring in disbelief. Then another man came out of the office. He had a smug grin on his face. He said, 'Awww. Is Xehanort's little puppy leaving?' Needless to say, that got Isa's just a tiny bit mad and the next thing anyone knew was that Isa was on top of the guy ripping his throat out with nothing more than his teeth. No one knew they were filed. Braig and I had no choice then, we had to tackle Isa down and arrest him. Seeing as how it was us, I think he didn't want to hurt us and gave up. Anyone else and it wouldn't have been pretty. Shorty after that, Dilan was arrested for protecting me. . . It was a very rough week, that week. . ." Luxord trailed off. Lea had no idea. He knew Isa had a habit of acting like a dog, but ripping a person's throat out with your teeth, he felt queasy.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Lea walked over to an area away and out of sight and threw up.
"I told you it was gruesome and that's just hearing it. Try having to see it, no don't. You won't be able to eat for three weeks." When Lea caught his breath, he wiped his mouth then walked back over to Luxord.
"You didn't say I'd lose my stomach." Lea said. "I've heard some pretty disturbing things, but that's the worst right there."
"Yeah, that was a bad day." The guys turned around to see Arlene.
"How long have you been standing there?" Lea asked.
"A while. The selfish bastard wants to see you." She said putting her hand on Luxord's shoulder. "I'd take you, but right now I have to go help with the females. Damn girls. . ." She mumbled as she walked away.
"Well, let's get this over with." Luxord said starting in the direction of Xehanort's office. On the way, Lea wondered how it was possible for Isa to rip the guy's throat out . . . The thought still made him shutter. Once they got to Xehanort's office, Lea was sat down, handcuffed, and was forced to indoor being in Xehanort's presence. Luxord stood behind him. After about a minute, the door opened and Isa was brought in and sat down. He had two guards standing behind him, Elaeus being one of them. Lea could feel that Isa wasn't in the mood to be anywhere near Xehanort, and knowing the fact of why he's in for life didn't help.
Once he was done writing on his paper, Xehanort looked up to meet both of their gazes. "Do I need to explain why you're both here?" Xehanort waved for the guards to leave.
"Not really." Isa said calmly. "You made it all pretty clear that if Lea doesn't act the way you want him to he'll be on death road. Frankly for you, there's nothing you can do about him." Isa had a very cold and calm tone in his voice. His eyes thought were blazing and burning Xehanort and every ounce of his body.
"Isa you of all people should know unruly behavior cannot be accepted." Xehanort stood to stand in front of his desk.
Isa growled. "Unruly? He shouldn't have been here in the first place! Hell, you shouldn't have been two-timing!" Xehanort shook his head. Lea noticed Sora had turned to glare at Xehanort, but once he caught sight of Lea, he felt his heart skip a beat.
"Hey, Xehanort, what happened to me not being allowed anywhere near Sora?" Xehanort's head snapped over towards Lea. "He's standing right there." When Xehanort met Sora eyes, he was taking back. Sora Ocean eyes where burning, as if a hurricane was passing through them.
"Yeah, what happened to that?" Sora asked as he walked over to Lea.
Xehanort just shook his head. "You're being warned. That means you to, Isa." Isa's head shot up and his eyes widened.
"What happens to me if I decide to go against your rules?" Isa stood up.
"You will spend the rest of your time with us in solitary. And I hear that solitary is never a good thing for dogs." Isa started to snarl. "That'll be it. Sora show them out."
When Xehanort's back was turned, Sora flipped him the finger and opened the door. Once it was closed, Luxord unlocked Lea's handcuffs, and the second they were off, Sora was in Lea's arms.
"You'd think he'd think about this." Lea whispered in his ear.
"Yeah, you do." They found their way into a kiss. Luxord and Isa just shook their heads and smiled. Isa knew one thing when it came to Lea, and it was that Lea knew how to get to you, but this was different. Lea wasn't trying to get anything out of Sora. Isa thought, if anything, Sora might be the only person who Lea could spend the rest of his life with. And Sora needed Lea, just as much as Lea needed him.
"I really hate to break up this lovely moment, but I think you should move along." Braig said placing his hand Sora's shoulder. "Sorry guys."
"It's ok Braig. Just help Luxord." Sora said as Lea let him go. "See ya later." Slowly, Sora walked back into Xehanort's office.
Later that night, Lea tried to sleep, but he was uneasy. He had the strong feeling he was being watched. Rolling over on his side, looked over to the gate, and he had to rub his eyes. In disbelief he sat up. "Reno?" Lea said in a low whisper. Lea didn't believe what he was seeing. It was figure standing on the outside on the gate, holding the bars. It was dressed in a black jacket and pants, with a white dress shirt. It had bright red hair with the back pulled into a ponytail, with a pair of black goggles on its head. But what really freaked Lea out was that there was, what seemed to be, blood dripping from its neck.
With his heart racing, Lea got down from his bunk and as he did, the figure stretched out its hand for Lea to take it. When Lea reached the gate, the figure stepped through the bars and placed its lips to Lea's. Lea knew then that it was Reno. Just by the light way his lips felt. But how? Reno was dead, and Lea knew that for a fact. But once Lea realized what he was doing, he really freaked out. Reno was dead and there was no that this thing in front of him could be Reno.
Lea broke the kiss to look at the figure and it was looking right at him. Its green eyes were filled with sorrow and regret. Lea shook his head; he knew those were Reno's eyes. Lea then took a few steps back. He looked at the figure and noticed it was slightly transparent.
"What are you?" Lea whispered. Slowly, the figure lifted its head to reveal a wound to its neck and Lea froze. It all became clear to him. This figure was Reno's ghost. Lea never really believed in ghosts, but now, he wasn't sure.
"Lea. . ." It was a low whisper. "I love you. . ." Reno slowly walked over to Lea and kissed him.
That's when Lea shot up. He was panting hard and completely covered in sweat. "It was all a dream. . . Just a dream." Lea looked over at the gate. There was nothing there other than air and light. Lea felt his heart get heavy and he pulled out the picture of him and Reno. His eyes widened, for the image of Reno was blurred out. His heart got even heavier. His dream was clearly a message either telling him to move on, or that Reno was moving on.
"Hey, are you alright?" Lea's head turned towards the gate to find Sora opening it.
"Yeah. Just a little shaken up." Sora walked up to Lea's bunk and pulled himself up.
"Bad dream?" Sora asked stroking Lea's head.
"More like a nightmare." Lea said taking a look around. "Where is everyone?" He didn't notice that he was the only one in the call when he woke up.
"Outside. I let them out about an hour ago."
"Oh. . . Wait a sec, how come-"
"Xehanort's not here at the moment. He's away for an important meeting." Sora smirked. "Braig's in charge, so I don't have any real restrictions."
"So that's why you're up here." Lea said in a sly way.
"Yup." Sora said resting his head on Lea's shoulder. "So what was your dream about?"
Lea sighed. "Reno's ghost came for a visit." Lea pulled out the picture. "But what really gets me was that it seemed so real. And then when I woke up, I found this. It wasn't like this before."
"Ok, now that's freaky. Maybe he's telling you to let go." Sora said taking the picture from him.
"What do you mean?"
Sora sighed. "Call me a nerd, but I know a lot about the supernatural. I've read about things like this. And usually, when a person dies and they're stricken with guilt before their death, they'll try to get their loved ones to move on by doing stuff like this. The same thing happened to my ex."
"Now you don't find that weird?" Lea asked.
"Nope. I just think of it as my unusual hobby." Sora smiled and got down from the bunk. "I would have liked to meet him. He seemed like a great guy."
Lea lowered his head. "He was. . . It's been a year; Roxas . . . Is it wrong that I still love him?"
"No, but I do think it's unhealthy for you to still obsess over him- Wait! You just called me 'Roxas'." Sora turned around and looked at Lea.
"Yes I did. I don't think you look like a 'Sora'. You look more like a 'Roxas' to me." Sora rolled his eyes.
"Whatever, 'Axel'." Sora crossed his arms.
"'Axel'? Never been called that before." Sora rolled his eyes. "But if that's what you like, Roxas." Lea smirked.
"You know that's just my name with an 'X' and the letters rearranged, right?" Sora smirked. Lea got down from his bunk.
"Now that I think about it, yes." Lea pulled Sora into his arms. "So what now?"
"Now, I get you to a shower, you're covered in sweat, then, you join everyone else so they know you're alive." Sora smiled looking up at Lea.
"Roxas, can I ask you something, other than this question?" Lea's eyes were soft as he looked into Sora's.
"What is it?" Sora ran his hands up and around Lea's neck.
"Do you believe in destiny?" Lea whispered.
"If you're talking about us just happening to really like each other, when we wanted nothing to do with each other, then maybe." That last part was nothing more than a mere whisper as Lea pressed his lips lightly to Sora's. This kiss, to Lea felt like his very first one, light and fluttery. He also felt a huge wait lifted off his shoulders. He wasn't ready to admit it yet, but he knew he wasn't falling, but that he was sure that he loved Sora.
