Secret Messages and a Date

"Roxas, open the door... Open the damn door now before I kick it down!" Axel walked back a few steps and kicked the door. "...You know I have a key. This is my house, ya' know?" He took the key from behind a pot plant and put it in the doorhandle. He clicked it to the right and opened the door.

Roxas quickly spun around to see see… 'shit, cover your chest you idiot!' the blonde covered his chest with his shirt. "...Axel, I-" Roxas was cut off again.

"Axel! I'm home!" Axel's younger sister called out. The red head walked into the kitchen but in the way she saw Axel near the bathroom, "...Axel what's wrong?"

Axel growled as he saw the very tip of the cut on Roxas' chest as he tried to cover it up. He turned as Kairi walked in and slammed the bathroom door shut. "N-nothing. It's fine. Kairi, what are you doing here?" Axel demanded. "You know, never mind I think I already know." he turned and wheeled Kairi towards the guest bedroom. "You, sleep here." Axel pointed a finger at Kairi then turned to walk back to the bathroom before stopping and turning towards her. "By the way, Roxas ate some bad sushi and he's staying here until he recovers. So keep out of my way before I kick you out too."

Kairi frowned as the door shut in her face. "...Fine…" She walked to her room and called Sora, "Hey Riku, you still picking me and Sora up for tonight?"

Axel walked towards the bathroom and opened the door, then slammed it shut and locked it. "Roxas.. show me." Axel breathed before trying to snatch the t-shirt form the blonde's grasp. Roxas didn't budge. "Please." he walked towards Roxas with his arms crossed.

Roxas shook his head, "No..." Roxas winced again with the friction of the top against his cut skin. Roxas looked at Axel, 'Roxas...If you show him he might help you...' Roxas loosened his grip of the shirt and showed Axel, He looked down not wanting to see the look on Axel's face. What was written on Roxas' chest was the word 'MINE'. When Roxas closed his eyes he could feel every movement of the knife the boy used to cut into him.

Riku answered the phone and groaned when Kairi started speaking. "You really need to get your own car. Yes, i'm on my way now." He hung up the phone and walked towards his car before calling out to Sora. "Hurry it up, Kairi's waiting."

Axel's face dropped and he un-crossed his arms. "Oh.. Roxas." he sighed and took the shirt from him, placing it on the sink, the picking him up and sitting him on the sink as well. Axel grabbed a paper towel and wet it, then carefully started wiping away the dried blood on Roxas' chest. "Don't worry, it doesn't look too deep. It shouldn't scar that much. It'll go away." He dried the cut with one of the towels and sighed. "You need to tell me. You shouldn't have kept this away from me. I can help." Axel patted the blonde's shoulder. "...You know what you need? Something to pick ya' up, make you happy. Take your mind off what happened." He grinned lightly and brought his hand up under Roxas' chin.

"How about going on a date with me?"
