The Conclusion.
You Know I Love You, Right? Part II
I made sure no one was watching as I made my way out of the ladies' room and towards the table where Roxas was still waiting for me. "What took you so long?"
I smiled back as I sat down and picked my drink up, "I got distracted." He nodded still smiling at me.
"Where'd you get your scars?" He asked, pointing under my eyes.
"My mom."
"Oh my gawd, why?" He said, feeling…sorry for me? People just fear me. I've never met anyone who cared. It was confusing.
"I didn't cry when my father died, so she gave me red tears." I explained.
"That's horrible. What happened to her? Did you get away?" I grinned at his concern.
"It happened when I was seventeen. She was put in a mental hospital and I spent a year in foster care."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"I'm still sorry." I smirked at his downcast face.
"How about you, any family?"
"I got my parents, who live in Twilight Town, and my brother Sora and his husband Riku, who live in the same apartment building as me." He answered.
"They just share the building, not the apartment?" I asked.
"Yep, I live alone." He smirked devilishly at me. Though, on him, it just made him that much more adorable.
"Me too." I said quietly, before a scream was heard throughout the club. I guess they found the bodies. "See you around?" I asked while Roxas looked for the source of the scream.
"You're leaving?"
"It's getting late." I said before walking away and slipping out the back door.
oOo
"Roxas! Are you okay?" My brother asked as I walked through his front door, in a stunned silence.
"Olette and Hayner are dead. The serial killer was at the club tonight." I answered quietly.
"Holy shit, really?" Sora and Riku asked together.
"Yeah, on top of that Olette dumped me for Hayner. For Hayner! She knew we used to date. And I can't even be mad at her because she's dead." I sighed before continuing, "Why can't I find somebody who wants to be with me. Who wants to be with me forever so we can take care of each other. Like you and Riku."
"You'll find someone. It's impossible not to love you baby bro." Sora said cheerfully. "Are you going to the funerals?"
"I'm thinking no." I said cruelly. I wasn't happy they were dead, but they both hurt me. "I met someone tonight." I said.
"Tell me everything." Sora said excitedly.
"He's got the greenest most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, blood red hair; he's tall, and thin, has a killer smile and a wicked smirk. And his name is Axel. His mom is insane and he's got a vertical scar under each eye."
"Did you ask him out?" Sora asked.
Before I could answer him Riku spoke up. "Vertical scars, like the serial killer's victims?"
"His mom gave him those scars. Do you think she escaped from the loony bin?" I asked.
"I guess that's a possibility, but it's not what I was thinking." Riku responded.
"Axel's not the serial killer. He's too nice." I defended.
oOo
Thanks to my heroics for Roxas, the club was closed and today was the first time in two weeks that it was opened and that I left my apartment. Of course, I had been thinking about him every second of everyday. He was the first person who didn't judge me before he got to know me. He didn't fear me for something I have no understanding of. He accepted me. I left late today in hopes that Roxas would be there when I arrived.
After walking through the doors I quickly spotted him on the dance floor swaying to the slow beat. I smirked, I like slow music. And this was a sexy number as well. Slowly I made my way through the crowd, ignoring the fearful glance they gave me, to Roxas. Any other day I wouldn't have been able to ignore those glances, but today I had to see my blond. His eyes were closed as I approached him and placed my gloved hands on his hips, resulting in him scrunching his face and starting to move away. Then he opened his eyes, immediately smiling when they landed on me, and stopped his escape. "Miss me?" I asked.
"Of course!" He yelled over the music, bringing his body closer to mine as he began dancing again. Our legs rubbed together and our hands explored each other's bodies as we swayed to the beat. I've wanted to dance with him for so long. This was the happiest I'd been in my entire life.
Our eyes met, both equally filled with lust. Our grinding became more intense, more sexual, less dancing. I brought my face down to his our lips almost touching, but not quite. I could smell the small bit of alcohol on his breath as it brushed across my face. I wanted him to come the rest of the way, and he did. Our lips locked in a chaste kiss before he pulled away and smiled shyly at me. I smirked back, and then he jumped up, wrapping his legs around me so he could reach my face and capture my lips.
My hands held him up as his wrapped around my back and gripped my hair. This kiss was not so innocent. He quickly opened his mouth to me, allowing my tongue access. His hips began moving against me, completely ignoring the fact that we were on a dance floor full of people.
Roxas decreased the intensity of our kiss before pulling away. "Do you want to come home with me?" He whispered in my ear. I smirked and lowered him to the ground.
"Lead the way."
-------------
Standing behind Roxas I licked and nipped at his neck while he fumbled with his keys to get the door open. He tilted his head to the side allowing me more access. Finally, Roxas got the door opened and allowed me to enter before closing it behind him and leaning against it, looking at me with hunger in his eyes.
I smirked at him and he launched himself off the door and into my arms again, locking our lips in a fierce and passionate kiss. Grasping his hips I pulled Roxas up so I wouldn't have to bend down to kiss him. He quickly wrapped his legs around my waist as I began moving and crushed him against the wall.
Deepening the kiss my hands found their way under Roxas' shirt and lifting it up. Our kiss stopped briefly as I pulled his shirt off and we both got a breather. "My bedroom's down the hall." Roxas informed me and I carried him to his room, with a few brief stops.
After laying his beautiful body on the bed I crawled on top of him and attacked his chest with my lips and tongue. He threw his head back and moaned, gripping my hair tightly. I crawled up his body making my way back to his lips again. Sitting up I began to take my shirt off as Roxas hips grinded into mine in anticipation.
While I continued to straddle Roxas' hips I brought my hands down to the button on his pants, brushing against his bulge. Roxas moaned before I asked, "Are you sure?"
"Y-yes, Axel."
oOo
As usual, I woke up naked, not so customary I was holding my beautiful, naked, obsession in my arms. Smiling, remembering our night, I snuggled him closer, placing a kiss on his forehead. Roxas' nose scrunched a little before he opened his large blue fearless eyes and smiled at me. "Good morning, love." I whispered.
"Good morning." He said quietly before placing a chaste kiss on my lips. Then I smirked and pulled him on top of me. He lowered his head and began nipping and kissing my chest.
"Ahh…" I moaned moving my hips with Roxas'. Then the door opened.
"Roxas do you have milk? Riku and I are out of milk and…oh…sorry." A spiky brown haired man with many of the same features as Roxas said before running out the door. Roxas was blushing madly as he jumped off me, giving me a lovely view of his cute ass, and bent down to pull last night's pants on and run after the brown haired man. I got up to stand by the door and hear Roxas yell, "Sora wait!"
"Sorry Roxas, I wasn't expecting that. You never bring people home. He must be special." Sora said. I smiled at his words, 'special'. I was special to someone. Someone wanted me for once in my miserable life.
"I think he is Sora. I know it's moving fast but there's something about him telling me he's the one." Roxas confided and my heart soared.
"So was the gorgeous redhead beneath you Axel? The one you told us about?" Sora questioned excitedly.
"Yes. Yes, he' my lovely redhead." Roxas sang.
"Did you ask him about his mom?"
"I wasn't thinking about it."
"Oh well, I'll let you two get back to your…activities. If you need milk it'll be at my house."
"Okay."
As they said their goodbyes I went back to the bed to wait for Roxas. His smile brightened the entire room as he walked in and sat next to me. I decide to take a chance and go for it, "I love you." I said.
Roxas' smile grew before he jumped on top of me gluing our lips together. I brushed my tongue across his lower lip asking for entrance. He gladly accepted. Eventually we pulled away breathless and in need of air. "I love you too." He announced before capturing my lips again.
After another wonderful love making session I found myself sitting with Roxas at his kitchen table with a plate of food and a glass of orange juice in front of me. "You're a good cook Roxas." I commented after taking a bite.
"Thank you." He beamed at me. Then a look of recollection covered his face, "Hey Axel, do you know if your mom escaped from the mental hospital?"
"As far as I know she's still in there, why?"
"Well, the serial killer leaves a mark, uh, two actually, on his or her victims. They look a lot like the scars your mom gave you. I was just curious."
"Oh, well, I'm pretty sure the hospital would tell me if she escaped, and they haven't contacted me."
He nodded before speaking again, "Do you want to stay here with me today?"
I smirked, "I'd like nothing more."
oOo
Winter faded away and everything began springing back to life as the months went by, with me and Roxas dating. I stayed at his house everyday and almost every night. Not once had fear ever crossed his eyes, even Sora and Riku's eyes stayed devoid of fear. I was the happiest I'd ever been. I hadn't killed anyone since Olette and Hayner. They say the best way to get rid of one addiction is to replace it with another. It seems Roxas is my new addiction.
I was able to ignore everyone else when I was with my Roxas and it seemed as though the serial killer had left town. In reality, I'd just found love. I was now always in a good mood and killing seemed unnecessary when I had a beautiful blond with me, who loves and adores me. The public's fear of me just didn't bother me so much anymore.
Who knew all I had to do to stop my insane urges to kill was talk to my beautiful blond obsession, the love of my life. The police never caught me; I could start a whole new life with Roxas. Forget my sins and be a normal person, someone who is not insane, someone who doesn't kill people who look at him with fear in their eyes.
I smiled at my thoughts, a new start. Roxas and I were cuddled on the couch together. My arms were wrapped around him curled in my lap as we watched TV. Then the news came on.
"It has been six months since the serial killer's last attack. The police are quite baffled as to why the killer would suddenly stop…" the anchor woman droned on.
"Hey, we've been together for six months." Roxas commented.
"We have." I agreed.
"And finally the police are confident of the killer's identity." The news woman's voice said as my picture showed up on the TV and I tensed up. "His name is Axel Akuseru. He is twenty-five years old, six feet, five inches tall, has long spiky red hair, green eyes and is clinically insane. If you see Axel do not approach him, he is incredibly dangerous, the police request that you call the number at the bottom of the screen with any information on…"
Roxas looked up at me with a confused look on his face, his eyes still fearless. "You know I love you, right?" I asked and he nodded. "Say it." I said desperately.
"I know you love me." Roxas said.
"Do you love me?" I asked.
"You killed Olette and Hayner?" He asked.
"They hurt you. I'll always protect you Roxas. Do you love me?"
Roxas remained quiet for several minutes and I began to worry. Then he spoke confidently, "Yes. But Axel, killing people is wrong."
"I know."
"Why did you stop?" He asked.
"Stopped what?"
"Killing."
"You. You make everything better. I don't know why but my entire life everyone who looks at me has fear in their eyes. It makes made me mad and I couldn't control it, I killed them. You are the first person who doesn't look at me with fear. And I've been able to control myself, with you around."
"The story about your mom…"
"Is true. Insanity seems to run in my family. My mother's the one who killed my father. She made me watch."
"Oh my gawd!" Roxas wrapped his arm around me. "I'm gonna take care of you." He said.
"And I'll take care of you." I said before capturing his lips. "I love you Roxas."
"I love you too."
oOo
"Sora, did you watch the news?" Riku asked.
"No." Sora responded as Riku handed him a phone number. "What's this?"
"Your brother's boyfriend is the serial killer." Riku explained, "That is he number you call if you have information on him. Whether you do it or not is your choice."
oOo
A couple hours later found Roxas and me once again lying naked in his bed. His blond hair was tickling my nose as I drew invisible circles on his chest with my finger. I was so happy he'd forgiven me for killing those people. He wasn't at all happy about it, but he believes it's possible for people to change. He also believes that we were made for each other. It seems like my new start may become a reality, as long as we move. I sighed contently and then heard the front door open, Roxas seemed unaware.
However, when the bedroom door slammed open we both sat up in bed. Several police were pointing guns at me yelling something I couldn't understand. Nervous as I was , I went to grab a lighter and cigarette off the nightstand. That was a mistake. "Axel!" I heard Roxas yell after several guns were fired, embedding four stinging bullets in my body. I fell backwards against the pillows as blood poured from my wounds. I made several attempts to grasp my shaking hand with Roxas'. Tears were in his eyes as he held my hand and kissed my lips. "Axel, you'll be okay, don't worry." He cried.
He's lying, but it's nice that he cares enough to do that for me. Breathing was becoming more difficult and I felt myself becoming colder. "Say it." I whispered to Roxas. As I watched the life drain from my victim's eyes I'd always wondered if it was a scary thing, to die.
With Roxas holding my hand, locking his fearless blue eyes with mine, I could honestly say it wasn't that bad. "I know you love me, Axel." Roxas cried. I nodded as my eye lids became heavier. I felt Roxas' head fall against my bleeding chest, crying out, "I love you Axel, I love you," as I drifted away. I love you too Roxas, you know that.
AN: Okay, that was a lot easier to write than it was to read. I killed Axel, yes. He's my favorite character and I still killed him. Now I'm sad. But I wanted to write a sad story and this is the result.
I hope it was decent for a story that doesn't have a happy ending.
Obviously there won't be a sequel, although if I get time I might rewrite this and make it longer.
I am aware their relationship moved very fast, but that's what I intended. Axel had been in love with Roxas before he even met him, and Roxas felt that they were meant to be together and there was no reason to wait.
Thanks for all reviews and favs.
*Now I'm going to go write a happy story.
