Okay you are finally caught up to me. :sweat: Now I gotta spend more time finishing this. Good thing, It's almost finished so enjoy this latest installment.
"Yes. That is permitted at least. Roxas, can you get changed into these?" The nurse said handing him some hospital clothes. Roxas heard Xemnas snicker at the clothes.
"Demyx, can you come in the bathroom with me? I can't get these clothes off without help." Roxas asked.
"Nothing naughty in there boys ok?" Xemnas said fatherly. The nurse gave Xemnas a puzzled look. Demyx got up and walked into the bathroom with Roxas.
"Won't Axel get mad?" Demyx asked helping Roxas take off his shirt.
"Well, he better not. This is for a good cause and don't worry about it. Hey Dem, can you take on another secret?" Roxas asked quietly. Demyx nodded.
"I have a phone in my jean pocket. Can you take it out and guard it with your life until I get into my jeans again?" Roxas asked. Demyx touched his nose with Roxas.
"Of course little Roxas. You can count on me. Xemnas won't even know you have one. I'll protect it to my grave." Demyx said taking the phone out of Roxas' jeans, turning it off, and putting it in his cloak pocket. Demyx helped Roxas out of his jeans and into the hospital pants.
"Demyx thank you for being a good friend but why does Xemnas do this?" Roxas asked, using Demyx's shoulder for support to get into the pants.
"I think it's because he wants to be the supreme ruler of the organization and everyone be perfect and not question his authority. Its so complex Roxas, I'm sorry I can't help you anymore." Demyx said sliding the shirt on Roxas.
"It's okay Demyx. I'll find out sooner or later. Thanks." Roxas said as Demyx buttoned up the shirt.
"You're welcome Roxas. I tried." Demyx replied. Roxas raised a hand on Demyx's face and pecked his other cheek. Demyx blushed and looked away.
"That's between us only. Then let's not let Xemnas think something happened between us." Roxas said with a small smile. Demyx nodded with a small smile. They walked out of the bathroom where Xemnas was sitting patiently, chatting with the nurse.
"Ready Roxas?" Xemnas asked. Roxas nodded and the nurse brought in a wheelchair. Roxas sat down in the wheelchair and Demyx followed him as the nurse wheeled Roxas to the X-Ray room. She told Demyx to patiently stand outside the X-Ray room and she wheeled Roxas inside. Roxas then got up and laid on the table. The nurse tenderly picked up his broken limb and sat it on a machine.
"Now don't move a muscle until I tell you to okay and close your eyes." The nurse asked. Roxas nodded and the nurse left the room into a smaller room. Roxas closed his eyes and in a moment, he heard a click and the nurse walked in and adjusted his arm. Then she took another X-Ray. She took a few more and then Roxas was permitted to sit up.
"We'll wheel you back to the room and you can wait there until we get the X-Rays back." The nurse replied. Roxas nodded and sat back in the chair. The nurse opened up the door and Demyx was waiting patiently. The three went back to the room where Xemnas was on the phone. Roxas sat on the patient bed and gazed at the pictures that lined the walls and the instruments on the counter. Demyx sat in the chair and did the same thing as Roxas. Roxas looked at Xemnas as he got of the phone.
"Dinner is almost done. " Xemnas said. In a few moments, the doctor came in.
"Hello, I'm Doctor Diz. I looked at the X-Rays and your arm and hand are broken. This is correct, right Roxas?" Diz asked.
"Right Doctor Diz. Do I have to get a shot?" Roxas asked, the fear of needles rising in his chest. Diz chuckled.
"No. We'll have to cast your arm and hand. It'll take an hour to do. My nurse is getting the materials right now so it'll only take 50 minutes to do." Diz said. The nurse came in with the materials and the doctor tenderly washed Roxas's arm. Then he started the casting process while Demyx and Xemnas watched. It took the doctor half an hour to apply and twenty minutes to dry. Once finished, the doctor stood up.
"Okay Roxas, how does that feel?" Diz asked. Roxas moved his arm.
"Fine. I can live with this. Thanks doc." Roxas replied sitting up. Xemnas and Demyx looked at his cast.
"I want to sign it first!" Demyx said excitedly. He pulled out a marker and wrote his name on it largely.
"Demyx, now no one else can sign it!" Roxas said laughing. Demyx turned away slightly blushing. "It's okay." Roxas replied to his look.
"Okay. Now he get can dressed." Diz said. Xemnas gave Demyx Roxas's clothes. The boys walked into the bathroom. Demyx first helped Roxas into his pants.
"Okay here's your phone back." Demyx said turning on the phone and then stuck it in Roxas's pocket.
"Thanks Demyx. I'm in debt to you." Roxas said as Demyx helped him get into his shirt.
"No that debt is already paid." Demyx said with a blush. Roxas knew what he paid with. They walked out of the bathroom and walked with Xemnas to the counter where he signed some paperwork and paid for the operation.
"Okay. Now when we get home, we'll eat and then I'll deal with you Roxas. No, I'm not mad at you but you still need to be punished for talking to me like that." Xemnas said walking to the car. He unlocked it and everyone got in. On the way home, all Roxas had on his mind was the punishment he would receive. Xemnas gave many punishments depending on the degree of the 'crime' as he called it. But no one in the organization ever did something as 'bad' as he did. No one ever told Xemnas how they felt but even if they did, did they actually love the man like a father? Roxas shook the thought in his head and he looked up as their house came into view. It was a two story house and to house everyone, it had seven huge bedrooms, three bathrooms and it was big enough for twelve guys and one girl. Roxas dreaded going to his room because that was his and Axel's room. Going in there would make him think about all the sweet and fun moments they had together. He remembered the time when a storm had rolled in and he cuddled up with Axel because he was scared. He thought how reassuring Axel's warm skin was to him and how they talked for hours and Roxas finally fell asleep in Axel's arms all because of his phobia of thunderstorms. Roxas smiled inside, just thinking about that wonderful time he had with Axel. He brought himself back to the present and stepped out of the car and followed everyone inside. When Roxas entered, he could smell the yakisoba and ramen and he looked at the table where everyone was sitting and the food was just finished.
"Welcome home dear." Saix said going over to Xemnas with a smile. Xemnas hugged Saix and looked at Demyx and Roxas.
"You two go eat. Saix, I need to talk to you for a moment." Xemnas said and took Saix into the other room.
"What happened to you Roxas?" Luxord, a guy with blonde hair and mustache asked him.
"I fell on my arm and broke it and other events got my hand broken." Roxas replied sitting down beside Demyx.
"Okay, I'll serve the ramen. BUT DON'T TOUCH THE COFFEE!!!" Zexion shrieked. Marluxia got up and served the yakisoba. In a few moments, Xemnas and Saix returned to the room and sat down. Roxas feared that Xemnas told Saix about his disrespectful behavior. After all, those two were inseparable and it was unusual that Xemnas picked him up without taking Saix. He started to eat his food, slowly, trying to savor every bite. This would be the last time he would eat Zexion's cooking. He first started on the ramen because it was instant and he wanted to eat the yakisoba last. He looked at Xemnas, who was getting spoon-fed by Saix. Roxas smiled and looked over to Demyx. He was eating happily. Roxas was puzzled. How could Demyx, who had been with him through all of this, be happy? Demyx had witnessed Roxas getting his hand broken and being humiliated in the store, yet here he was, happy as could be shown through expressions. He didn't understand Demyx, maybe he never would. But a goal he did know was he wanted to get to know him. And who knows, maybe Axel would too. Roxas thought a little more while eating his delicious yakisoba and relishing the taste. Once he finished, he downed his green tea and helped clean up dinner. Just as he wiped his wet hand on the washcloth on the door he heard his name being called.
"Roxas. Come here! Daddy wants to see you." Xemnas called. Roxas hurriedly turned to Demyx.
"I…Please, if you don't see me around, find me." Roxas said to Demyx and giving him a hug. Roxas dropped his shoulders as he walked into the dining room. He had been dreading this ever since he told Xemnas how much he hated him for what he did. He wondered if it was going to be a horrible punishment or not. Roxas saw Xemnas sitting in the big chair at the end of the table with Saix. "Yes…Superior?" Roxas asked. Xemnas got up and beckoned Roxas to come over to him.
"I hope you're ready. You will be punished for a whole day." Xemnas said grabbing Roxas's left wrist since his right was in a cast. Saix got behind them and made sure no one else followed. Xemnas must've thought about Roxas's behavior because he seemed moody and somewhat angry. He dragged Roxas past the bedrooms and then it hit Roxas. He knew exactly where they were going. Roxas dragged his feet along the ground trying to slow the time to get to the room. "Don't do that Roxas. You'll make it a longer punishment." Xemnas growled. Roxas picked up his feet but pulled back. That resulted in Xemnas jerking him forward.
"But I don't wanna go! Xemnas don't take me to that room!" Roxas screamed. Xemnas and Saix ignored him. Then they arrived at the door to the room. It was a solid, dull grey, metal door. It had a bar in the middle of it and kept the people who were inside, inside. It was a scary door and Xemnas lifted the bar and opened the creaky door. Roxas held his breath as for the first time; he saw what was inside the door. It was a cold scary room. There were no lights save for a torch on the wall. The wall and floor was made of grey cobblestone bricks. He saw little bugs running around the floor and a mouse or two. Attached to the wall were handcuffs. Roxas had never heard of a room like this but he knew there was a room that everyone was scared of and this was it. He had never heard anyone in here and he wondered why.
"This room had one foot wide walls so if you scream or beg no one will hear you." Xemnas said quietly. He walked into the room and Roxas pulled back but Saix shoved him in. Then Xemnas whipped on Roxas and pushed him against the wall. Roxas squirmed but to no advantage. Saix took each of Roxas's hands and locked them into the cuffs. Roxas yelped when he felt his cast hand get cuffed. Xemnas let off him lightly and stood back.
"Now you will remain in here until you decide that you will no longer say such insulting things. But the good thing is you will probably learn how to hold your bladder for a whole day, go for a whole day with no food or water, and learn the meaning of character and also how to entertain yourself. Well, too-da-loo." Xemnas said shortly and left with Saix at his heels. Roxas slumped to the floor. Never had this ever happened to him and he hoped this was the last time. He felt totally alone in that small, cold room. Abandoned, that was the word and scared. He longed for the warm of someone. Someone kind and wouldn't look upon him as some kid who deserved everything that happened. Someone like Demyx or Axel but Axel was too far away. He longed for Axel but here he longed for Demyx and an embrace which was warm and calming. Roxas pulled his legs up to his chest and laid his head upon his knees. He closed his eyes and tried to go into a light sleep in which he succeeded.
