AN: Sorry, this one took a little longer. The bat of inspiration hasn't been striking as often as usual. So this one's a little half-assed, but believe me the next one will be better. Anyway, most seemed to want Axel to save him so that's what happens. I'm not that great at writing about rape or things like that so sorry if it's not overly great. Probably the next thing I will submit won't be this but a story I promised to my friend and have yet to write. It'll just be a one-shot, but it's gonna be hilarious so check it out once it's up please. On to the reviewers:

chunkymonkey613-Yay! Peoples, this is my best friend who I got to read this story finally! Means a lot that you would GB, since you don't like yaoi and all.

absenceOfPersonality-I didn't name the chapters at first, so that's why that's that way. And I am going to do something with his parents next chapter so look forward to that, people!

Love you! Okay, on with the sucky chapter. And go ahead and say it's sucky, personally I think this is one of the worst chapters.

"N-no…" Roxas sobbed as Luxord started biting his neck. "Stop…please."

The older man ignored him, ripping his shirt off. Literally. It seemed it was too impatient to pull it over the teen's head, so he just ripped it at the seams.

New skin exposed, Luxord started biting and licking Roxas' nipples, none too gently, making the boy cry out in pain.

"Shut up, will you?" The man growled. "Shut up and I'll go easy on you."

Roxas obeyed, clamping his lips shut, maybe holding onto the false hopes that, just maybe, the brit would take pity and him and let him go if he was good.

No such luck, it seemed. The next thing the teen knew, Luxord had his hand down his pants. Roxas gasped and tried to struggle. But, even though the older man wasn't holding him down, he could barely move. The drug was still taking effect. He whimpered in fear as Luxord started pumping his hand up and down his length.

Soon, however, the whimpers turned into ones of pleasure. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. Despite the circumstances, it felt good. Luxord's hands were skilled.

"You like that?" The brit growled in his ear. Roxas could do nothing but nod slightly, not noticing until now that his eyes were clamped shut. "Good." The older man increased his pace, bringing Roxas to climax. A hand was placed over his mouth to keep him from screaming.

Before he had time to catch his breath, the teen found himself being flipped over onto his back. He felt his pants pulled down and heard the jingle of a belt being undone. He braced himself. This was it…

Suddenly, there was a loud banging on the door. "Luxord!! You bastard, open this door right now!!"

Luxord froze and Roxas felt a wave of relief wash over him. It was Axel. Axel was here.

There was a splintering sound and a loud crash and suddenly the door to the bedroom was thrown open, revealing an Axel whose face was almost as red as his hair from anger. He grabbed a still-stunned Luxord and threw him against a wall, throwing a few punches to his face as well. The brit's face was bloody and unrecognizable before Axel finally released him, slumping forward on the floor, barely conscious.

Axel quickly crawled over to where Roxas was and pulled him up into a sitting position. He smiled slightly. "You okay?"

"A-Axel…" For a minute, Roxas just stared at him, unbelieving that he was here. Then a loud sob escaped from his mouth and his head was buried in Axel's chest. "Axel…he was going to…he tried to…"

"Shhh…" Axel stroked his hair soothingly. "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here. He'll never touch you again, I promise." He let Roxas cry for a while, rocking him quietly. After a while, he realized that this probably wasn't the best place to be. "You wanna go home?"

The blonde nodded, his sobs substantially reduced. Axel pulled his pants back up and tried to get him to stand up, but he only crumpled to the floor. The drugs still hadn't worn off.

It didn't bother Axel; he just scooped the teen up in his arms and carried him out of Luxord's place, back to his own apartment.

"I'm sorry."

Axel looked down, surprised. He had been walking for a while and they were almost back to his apartment. Roxas hadn't said a word the entire time. Axel had thought he had fallen asleep. Apparently not. "What for?"

"I shouldn't have believed him. I'm so stupid."

"It's not your fault," Axel said, smiling at him reassuringly. "None of this is your fault. Don't worry about it so much."

Silence fell between them both as Axel opened the door to his apartment. He switched on the light and made his way over to Roxas' bedroom. Opening the door, carefully since Roxas was still in his arms, he quickly laid the blonde teen on his bed and pulled the covers up to his chin. He thought he was asleep, but when the redhead turned away, he felt a tug on his sleeve. Looking around, he saw Roxas staring at him, hanging onto his sleeve.

"You're not going to leave me alone, are you?" The blonde said quietly, his eyes pleading.

Axel sighed and sat back down on the edge of Roxas' bed. "Of course not. I'm right here."

The blonde gripped his arm tighter, as if afraid that letting go would make Axel disappear. The redhead stroked his hair absent-mindedly, soothingly. As he threaded his finger through the silky hair, he thought back to what Luxord had been about to do. What he would have done if Axel hadn't gotten there in time. If he hadn't been able to save Roxas, he didn't know what he would have done. The poor boy had already gone through enough in his short life; he didn't need to add that to his list.

Although…now that he thought about it, he actually didn't know what had gone on in the teen's life before he had tried to commit suicide. The blonde had always danced around the subject. He almost asked him then and there, but then decided against it. It could wait until tomorrow. He glanced back at Roxas' peaceful face. He had fallen asleep it seemed. And he couldn't blame him for being exhausted. Smiling slightly, Axel laid down and pulled his small body to his own.

Roxas woke up the next morning and the first thing he noticed was that he was laying by Axel. He smiled. So he had kept his promise and hadn't left. Not that the blonde was surprised; Axel wasn't one to break promises easily, even silly ones like this one.

The second thing he noticed was that the drug had worn off. To test it out he sat up and stretched. He felt stiff but otherwise fine.

The movement woke Axel. He yawned and gripped the younger boy around the waist. "Good morning," he said brightly. "You feeling better?"

"Much," Roxas said, grinning, "Except I'm a little hungry."

"Then we'll have to remedy that." Axel stood up, taking Roxas with him and throwing him over his shoulder, ignoring his cries of protest.

"Hey, Roxas?"

The blonde looked up from his eggs and bacon. "Yeah? What is it?"

Axel sighed and absent-mindedly moved his food around with his fork. "I was just wondering…well, you've never really told me, that is and…" He sighed again, exasperated, "Are you ever going to tell me why it is you tried to commit suicide?"

Roxas blinked in surprise. It was true; he had never actually told the redhead about his brother and what his life had been like before. And he had been so patient. Hell, he had even told him about his own past. So, he supposed he owed him that much at least.

"There's not really much to tell," he said slowly, "But…I guess I owe you so I'll tell you." He put his fork down. "I, uh…I had a brother named Sora. He was my parents' favorite. Everyone loved him and praised him. And…as a result, I usually ended up being ignored."

"So you resented him?"

Roxas shook his head. "No, because he never rubbed it in my face or anything. But, I guess in a way I was a little jealous. He was my only friend.

"Anyway, one day we went out driving and, uh…well, I was the one driving. We got into an accident and he died." The blonde sighed. This felt like such a long time ago, even thought it was only a few months ago.

"My parents hated me after that. In their mind, I wasn't their son anymore. So, I thought that nobody would miss me if I died." He glanced up. "You remember that fight with my dad you walked in on? Well, it was about that."

Axel twiddled his thumbs absent-mindedly. "I'm sorry."

Roxas shrugged. "It was in another life. Things are different now and it doesn't matter. I'm okay."

Axel nodded, but he didn't believe him. He knew from experience that hurt like that never really went away. But he was coping, and that was the important thing. Doubtless, he would need help with this sometime in the future, but for now it was dormant.
