Roxas slowly opened his eyes…having to blink several times to get his vision back and not so blurry. He could hear faint voices, as if they were far away. His hands and legs felt numb and there was still a huge stinging pain in his stomach. Roxas looked around, he was in a room he had not been in before. But he could tell it was in Axel's house, the color scheme was similar throughout. He turned his head to the side, he was on a bed, with warm sheets on top of him. He turned to face the other side and he would have jumped if he wasn't in so much pain. A familiar brunette boys head was extremely close to his own face. His big, curious blue eyes staring at the blonde's.

"Sora? What are you doing here? And where am I?" Roxas tried to sit up but just let out a faint groan in pain. Sora put his hand on Roxas' chest, pushing him down slightly.

"Axel says you shouldn't get up. Stay down for a while, okay?"

"Axel's here?"

"Of course! This is his house."

"Where is he?" Roxas raised his head to try and look around a bit more. It still hurt him but he didn't care.

"Downstairs, I bought ice cream over 'cause I know you love it and he is getting the out of the freezer."

"Why did you put it in the freezer? How long have you been here?" Sora rubbed his arm nervously and bit his lip.

"Kind of like…two days." Roxas frowned in confusion and clenched his fists.

"I've been asleep for two days?!"

"Well yeah I guess. Axel sorta didn't call an ambulance because of some reason that he kept to himself when I asked him. Is it something you told him?"

Axel…thank you, I would have hated doctors sticking their big fat noses into my business.

Roxas smiled slightly then remembered what happened the last time these two boys met. He spoke louder than before and nearly tried to sit up again but failed.

"Hey um, Sora? …Sorry about running away from you that day, however long ago it was, I can't remember. I was upset at something and it had nothing to do with you…I'm sorry." Roxas stared deeply into Sora's eyes as the brunette stood up and gently wrapped his arms around Roxas' neck.

"I know, Axel explained. The marks and cuts, the were from…anyway, you're safe now and nobody can hurt you. Not anymore."

Roxas smiled again and forced himself to put one am around his best friend. He tried the second but not even hugging his best friend would make the pain in all limbs go away for even a second.

"Thank you." Roxas said this as warmly as he possibly could. He heard footsteps coming up the stairs and let go of Sora. He stared at the doorway and as soon as he saw Axel with two ice creams, Roxas blushed and smiled even more.

"Hey Big Guy, you're awake!" He grinned and sat at the edge of the bed, handing one ice cream to Sora and the other to Roxas. "Try this. Sora said you liked them. It'll cool you down, you have a fever."

Roxas took the ice cream from Axel's hand and put it in his mouth.

"Axel…I-" Roxas couldn't seem to finish his sentence, or find the words to put there. Axel looked at Sora and spoke quietly, as if he was using a secret code.

"Sora do you mind if me and Roxas have a little alone time together? I need to talk to him."

"Sure!" Sora put the ice cream in his own mouth and stood up again, giving Roxas one last hug and stepping out of the room. "I have to get back to Riku anyways, he's probably hungry. Bye! I'll stop by to check up on Roxas tomorrow if that's okay?"

"That's fine, bye."

"Bye Sora, thanks again!" Roxas waved and put his arm to rest when Sora walked away and they heard a door shut downstairs. A serious expression came over Axel's face. Roxas looked deeply into his emerald eyes and attempted to sit up again, failing.

"You missed a day of school…I couldn't stop thinking about you all day, I was so worried. The night before you cried because a thought of your dad came to mind. When you turned up at my doorstep…I almost cried. I didn't phone an ambulance because pretty soon they would ask how you got hurt. I knew you wouldn't have wanted them knowing so I just bandaged it up for you. If you want I can borrow my friend's car and take you to one and say you fell on a plug or something."

"Axel…I didn't want to be a bother. I appreciate this so much. If I had been sleeping for two days then you must have been watching over me at all times. You look so tired." Roxas focused on the bags under Axel's eyes. "I just…feel so good around you…I can explain."

Axel frowned as if he didn't understand something.

"If your dad did those things to you…then why do you love me kissing you…?"Roxas turned his head to the side and frowned lightly.

"Because he never…kissed me. It was always the way he used my mouth and body to satisfy his needs. But when you reached for my pants I just saw an older man trying to get me on my knees or to bend over or something like that."

Axel put his hand on Roxas' hand and smiled. "I love you Roxas…nothing can or will change that. Please believe me. You are safe now. If that man never showed you love…he isn't fit to be a dad." Roxas smiled and closed his eyes, slowly.

"Show me that kiss I talked about." The blond teen opened his eyes again to see the redhead leaning in with his eyes closed. When their lips met, Roxas felt the same sensation he felt the first time they kissed, the feeling of love, and safety. Again, Axel opened his mouth and let his wet tongue slid through into Roxas' already open mouth. Roxas then returning the favor. Axel slid his hands along Roxas' sides and around his back. He let out a slight moan. Axel moved his head down and started to glide his long fingers across Roxas' nipples. Playing with it almost. He then did the same with his tongue, moving the tip around the sensitive skin. The sensation felt so good to Roxas as Axel teased him. The tall boy glanced up at Roxas who had lifted his head up slightly and had squeezed his eyes shut.

"Stop teasing me."

"Oh Roxas." Axel swiftly moved back up to the young boy's lips, kissing them passionately. He then moved one of his knees and placed it in between Roxas' legs and moved a hand round to Roxas' ass where he grabbed it. Roxas wrapped one of his arms around Axel's neck and the other up Axel's shirt where he played gently with one of his nipples. Using two fingers to rub it. He lifted his head up to allow more access to his neck as the emerald eyed Axel moved down slightly and kissed and pecked it gently. He stopped after a few moments and whispered in Roxas' ear.

"I want you to move in with me, Roxas." He whispered this and then sat up, pulling the quilts back over Roxas' body. "Get some sleep. You must be tired." Roxas nodded slowly and sighed.

I can't go back there after shouting at Dad. I'll have to stay…
