Chapter three: Hurtful past

A/N: Sorry the last chappie didn't go anywhere but this was one got big stuff so I didn't want to cut it up. So here it goes:

Roxas woke up in a cold sweat. He had that dream again. The one with the man, who only laughed at Roxas' crying.

Roxas looked over at the digital clock on the night stand. It was only three am. No one would be up at this time Roxas thought. Roxas slowly crawled out of bed and walked down the white hall to the living room. Roxas was wrong. There sat Zexion still reading under a small light on the nightstand.

"Hello, Roxas." Roxas jumped at Zexion's words. He hadn't thought Zexion had heard him. "Thought you'd be asleep. Axel snoring again?"

"Umm, no. I just had a bad dream and couldn't go back to sleep. So why you still up?"

"Demyx is like a ape to sleep with so I sleep when Demyx is out. Saves me a few bruises." They both chuckled as the images that came that their minds.

"So you don't sleep then?"

"No, just not with Demyx. The couch is just as comfy." They both stood there in a awkward silence in till Zexion broke it. "So Axel said that you don't have the best of pasts. Care to share?"

"Umm, not really. Ya know I don't like it and it's hard to say to people I don't know to well. No offense."

"None taken. So anyone know your staying here?"

"Nope. I just quit my job and came here. No one would care if I went missing. They'd probably be happy. They'd probably say, now that bitch is gone, let's party."

"I see. Why don't I go make us some hot chocolate?"

"Okay." Roxas took a seat on the couch while Zexion went off to make them some hot chocolate. Now taking time to look around the place it was quite nice. There was a lot of paintings and plants everywhere. A few books and video games here and there. There was a photo of Axel, Demyx and Zexion as little kids playing in a sand box. They looked to be six or so. Roxas couldn't help to notice how Zexion had his hair out of his face and Axel didn't have tattoos. Roxas got up to take a closer look at it.

When he took a closer look he noted that Axel hair was black not red and Zexion's was more blonde then his silver. If it weren't for Demyx or their eye color he'd thought it was totally different people. He looked a few feet away he spotted another photo. This one was of the three of them and a boy. They were all smiling and eating ice cream. The other boy had silver hair. He looked to be a lot older then his real age Roxas thought.

Roxas wasn't paying attention when Zexion walked back in with two mugs.

"I wonder who this is." Roxas mumbled to himself not knowing Zexion was there.

"That's Riku." Roxas jumped at the sound of Zexion's voice.

"Who's Riku?"

"He's my younger brother. He...he...he.." Zexion broke out crying and dropped the mugs. Roxas ran over to him trying to comfort him.

"Zexion shhhh it's all fine."

"NO IT'S NOT I WAS DRIVING THAT CAR. I WASN'T SUPPOSE TO BE. IT'S ALL MY FAULT!!" Zexion ran out the door as Axel and Demyx ran in to see what was wrong. Seeing Zexion run out Demyx ran after him. Axel walked over to Roxas who was still in shock.

"Hey Rox you okay?"

"What just happened? I asked who Riku was and he just started to cry."

"Come sit Rox. I'll tell you everything." The two walked over to the sofa and sat down. "You see Riku is Zexion's younger brother. The both of them one night went out to get food. Zexion just got his license. It was late at night and icy. Zexion's car lost control and they ran straight into a tree. Riku got hit in the head and lost his version. Zexion was in a coma for three months and lost one of his eyes. He blames himself for what happened to Riku."

"I see. I'm sorry for asking. But where's Riku now?"

"I really don't know. Zexion was to upset to speak to him. And me and Dem stuck with him."

"Why don't you go looking for him then?"

"I don't know. I guess cause Zexion would freak out. He tries to keep calm but he's really broken and shaken up."

"I see. WAIT! I know a Riku. He couldn't see either. He was with some guy that paid me to will pleasure him for the night. Riku didn't want it and just paid me and sent me home. I don't know if it was the same one."

"Did he have silver hair? Long bangs?"

"Hmmm, ya he did."

"That be him then. Silver hair and the name Riku aren't common."

"I asked him how he lost his version he said it was his curse for being such a bother to his brother. Do you think that maybe they could really get back together? I still have his friend's number."

"I don't know Rox."

"WHY NOT?!"

"Because..."

"GOD Axel think for yourself. Stop thinking of what Zexion would freaking want." Roxas ran out of the door and past Zexion and Demyx and down the street.

He'd been running for about thirty minutes now and he could see the club. He knew every night Riku's friend came to the club. He got to the doors and the guard let him in with no questions. Roxas ran over to the man's usual table. There he sat.

"So Rox-ass couldn't get enough of this."

"No Xigbar. Do you have Riku's number or address or something on you?"

"Why don't you go talk to him yourself. He's over at the bar." Roxas spun around to see a silver head sitting at the bar.

"Thanks Xigbar." Roxas ran over to Riku. "Umm sir would your name be Riku?" The man in question spun around and face Roxas.

"Yes that'd be what they call me."

"Umm, can I talk to you somewhere private?"

"What about?"

"Your brother, Axel, Demyx."

"How do you know about them? Do you know where they are?"

"Ya. Come on let's go to a diner or something." The two walked out of the club and down the street to a empty diner. They both walked in and ordered coffees.

"So how do you know them?"

"They took me into their place. You know Zexion blames himself for what happened to you."

"I know I've been looking for them. Umm..."

"Roxas."Roxas filled in for Riku.

"Well, Roxas will you take me to them?"

"Ya for sure." They both finished their coffees and Riku paid for them. They walked out of the diner.

"Do you want to get a ride in my car to your place?"

"Ya sure." They both walked back to the club and found Riku's car. They climbed in. "WAIT! How can you see the road?"

Riku chuckled. "My partner paid for a surgery so I can see now. It's not prefect. Like I can't see super close stuff."

"I see."

"Well where do you live Roxas?"

"On Twilight Drive, 138." They both drove in silence to the house. When they reached the house they both climbed out of the car and walked up the drive.

Roxas rung the door bell. They waited a few minutes in till Axel opened the door. "Hey Ro--" His jaw fell open. He just stared at Riku.

"Hey Axel who is it?" Yelled Demyx. He came up with Zexion behind Axel. They both just stared in shock at Riku.

"I said I would bring him back didn't I. I never brake my promises."

A/N: Was it just me or was that cheesy? . Oh will I think it's sweet. Oh anyone got a idea who Riku's "partner" is? XD
