Riku woke up, feeling tired, sore, and embarrassed. He couldn't get himself to admit the horrible night that he had experienced, but he couldn't deny the pain storing up in his backside.
"You ok?" Axel asked as he sat up slowly with Riku on his chest.
"Yeah." Riku whispered, still leaning on Axel's body.
"How do you feel?" Axel asked and Riku sighed.
"Tired."
"Yeah, me too." Axel groaned as he rubbed his head.
"You shouldn't have gotten so worked up. You're still healing from your concussion." Riku said as he kept his cheek on Axel's warm body.
"Ha, yeah, ok, next time I see the one I love being sexually abused, I'll just act like nothing's happening." Axel rolled his eyes as Riku gulped. Did, did Axel just say that he loved him?
"Just try to ignore him from now on." Riku sighed, closing his eyes.
"You're not serious, are you?" Axel sat up straight, forcing Riku to do the same with a grunt.
"Of course I am."
"Prez, when I see him again, I, I'm going to give him a black eye." Axel said with wide, honest eyes.
"You will do nothing of the sort." Riku narrowed his eyes on Axel's before the redhead sighed in annoyance and looked away.
"When word gets out,"
"It wont." Riku said with resolution.
"You can't let him get away with this!" Axel argued for what felt like the hundredth time.
"Axel, you have to understand; I can't let you cause a fight that would reveal Seifer's actions. And you can't tell anyone, and you can't have Roxas or any of your friends try to beat him up either." Riku ordered.
"Two problems with your theory, President. One, no one wants to challenge Seifer to a fight, that's like suicide. Two, you'd have to be crazy to think that I'd let anyone else get revenge that's mine to have." Axel smiled in a way that caused Riku to shiver.
"Don't you dare stoop to his level Axel."
"All actions come with a consequence. I shall merely be the method by which Seifer learns this valuable lesson."
"You're not a teacher Axel!" Riku got frustrated, encouraging Axel's rage as well.
"Prez he tried to rape you! He hurt you, violated you, and belittled you. You expect me to just sit here and act like nothing happened?" Axel shook his head, confused at how lightly Riku saw the situation.
"There's nothing either of us can do. If word spreads of his actions, I'll stand no chance in running for re-election." Riku defended himself.
"The election means that much to you, that you'd let an attempted rapist walk down the halls freely? What if he targets another student?" Axel said and Riku gulped, sinking into his thoughts.
"I, I'll handle the situation in a non-abrasive manner. Besides, he made it apparent that he was targeting me for a reason." Riku mumbled to himself.
"You're ridiculous." Axel sighed as he pushed Riku gently off his lap and got off his bed. "I can't believe you aren't going to report him."
"It's easy for you to say, you aren't involved like I am!" Riku pounded the mattress beneath him.
"All the more frustrating to hear how you aren't going to do shit!" Axel yelled back.
"I, I don't need this." Riku stood up slowly, wincing in pain.
"Prez, I, I'm sorry. Let me help," Axel reached out for Riku, but the silverrete swatted the hand away.
"You don't understand." Riku whispered.
"Prez, please, just, get some more rest, ok?" Axel didn't know what else he could say.
"I will, in my dorm," Riku nodded half-heartedly before he left the redhead's dorm.
He didn't know what could be done to ensure that Seifer wouldn't attack another student, without sacrificing his reputation which he worked so hard to build up. Riku shook his head, knowing that his decisions would only lead to regret. That didn't stop him as he knocked on Seifer's door.
"Well, well, well. Fancy seeing you here." Seifer's lip curled into a crooked smile.
"We need to talk." Riku jumped right in.
"About?" Seifer smirked, eyeing Riku's crotch.
"I want to make a deal," Riku cleared his throat. He couldn't be seen making a deal with an offender, but he needed some kind of reassurance that Seifer wouldn't repeat his actions.
"Oh? What kind of deal are we talking about?" Seifer's eyes lit up with an intimidating excitement.
"One that guarantee's the safety of my students." Riku remained as bold and brave as he could. His knees were going weak, his heart wanted to collapse inside himself, but he knew that he had to prove his point to win Seifer's trust.
"And what do I get in return?" Seifer folded his arms.
"What do you want?" Riku hadn't thought the offer that far through.
"You." Seifer smiled.
"No." Riku didn't even have to think.
"Well then I'll have to find a new target. Let's see, that cute little brunette assistant of yours looks yummy. I bet he is still a virgin. Man I'd love to pop him, watch him cry as I come on his face." Seifer's detailed imagery angered Riku.
"I swear to god Seifer,"
"It's you or him." Seifer grinned, confident in his argument.
"If you go to Sora, Roxas will find out, which leads back to Axel, and then you'll be as good as dead." Riku brought up a point that soiled Seifer's plans.
The blonde teen thought before he shrugged, "Then I guess I'll just take your virginity."
"I will not give such a thing to the likes of you." Riku remained secure in his position.
"Then what do you suggest I get in payment?" Seifer squinted his dark eyes.
"I," Riku tried to buy himself time to think, but he couldn't come up with anything that he wouldn't mind losing.
"Just get in," Seifer nodded inside his room as he pushed the door all the way open. Riku gulped as he listened, maintaining at least five feet of space between his body and Seifer's. "Look, if you won't let me take your virginity in exchange for my silence and my truce, then I want you to wear this." Seifer turned around to face Riku with a black carrot shaped object in his hand.
"Wh-what is it?" Riku gulped, not wanting to ask.
"Watch," Seifer smirked as he pushed the flat top of the object, causing it to vibrate. It fit in Seifer's palm and had a pointed tip, with a thickening top, which narrowed in just a bit before it flared out for the button.
"I, I have to wear it?" Riku felt his body panicking already.
"Before soccer practice, you will come to me. I will insert it inside and watch you practice. Afterward, I will remove it from you. Do so, and I won't touch you anywhere else, or go after another student." Seifer held out his hand.
"If you break your promise, or if you try and attack me again, I'll," Riku started, but Seifer interrupted with his boisterous laughter.
"You'll what? Huh? What are you going to do? Sick Axel after me?" Seifer mocked as Riku gulped. Seifer shook his head before he sighed. "You know you really are lucky Riku. If that damned bastard hadn't saved you, I really would have done a shit of a lot more to that body of yours. It's because of Axel that I'm refraining right now. I'm surprised you didn't come here with him; he's what's saving you from being my chew toy." Seifer had no smile as he glared at Riku.
"Axel is the reason why you're cooperating?" Riku asked, offended that he alone wasn't enough, but happy that at least he had a form of protection.
Seifer nodded as he looked away. "As easy as it would be to get you to submit to me, I can't afford to let Axel's family ruin my family's name. If I were you, I'd keep that redhead real close." Seifer narrowed his eyes in on Riku's.
"You have to honor our deal." Riku tried to keep himself from sounding weak by panting.
"So do you, and I believe you have practice tomorrow. I expect to see that pretty ass of yours before." Seifer said.
"I don't think you should watch." Riku gulped in his bravery.
"How else will I know that you won't take it out?"
Riku shrugged indifferently. "If you come to watch, I can't guarantee your safety from Axel." Riku added his own smirk.
"Very nice, you're learning how to be convincing. I like it." Seifer grinned in a way that sickened Riku. "Very well then. I shall watch from the west library corridor. If you remove the device, for any reason, for any amount of time, well, I'll tattoo my hand print on your ass, after I watch it bleed." Seifer added with a selfish smile.
"Make one more threat Seifer, and I'll let Axel handle this matter," Riku pulled out his Ace card as Seifer nodded with a chuckle.
"Handling my threat with a threat? You're a quick learner. Well, I think we both understand each other." Seifer shrugged as Riku nodded.
"For your sake, I hope so." Riku left, quickly pacing himself down the hall and back into his room, locking the door.
He couldn't believe that he made a deal, with Seifer of all people, but it had to be done. He knew that if he threatened for Axel to beat up Seifer in the event that he targeted another student, then Seifer would probably have challenged his bluff. That would be problematic for the president, who would have to bother Axel into defending the school without killing the person that the redhead hated most. That, and Riku knew that Seifer was the type of bully who couldn't be threatened out of his art; instead, he had to be bribed or compensated at the least. Riku sighed to himself before he climbed into bed, too tired to do anything else for the remainder of his night.
~
That next day, Riku reported to Seifer's dorm just before his soccer practice, as promised.
"Wow, you showed up."
"I said I would. I'm a man of my word." Riku glared harshly at his enemy.
"I've never lied to you, so I'd say I'm a man of my word as well." Seifer smirked.
"Let's just get this over with." Riku sighed.
"As you wish." Seifer shrugged.
Riku took a deep breath before he removed his gym shorts and slowly pulled down his boxers. "Touch me anywhere other than where is necessary, and you'll regret it." Riku gulped.
"Yeah yeah yeah," Seifer rolled his eyes, taking the carrot shaped vibrator out of his desk. "God it's such a smooth toy, just like this pretty little ass of yours,"
"Shut up and hurry." Riku growled.
"Fine, whatever you say boss." Seifer scoffed.
Riku got on all fours on Seifer's bed, regretting having ever made the deal with Seifer, but he knew he had to keep his students safe, and he knew it was his burden as the President to bear.
"Spread your legs." Seifer instructed so that he would have better access to insert the toy. Riku trembled as he slowly parted his knees. "Wider." Seifer ordered as a nervous Riku complied. "Wider!" Seifer spanked Riku, who let out a cry.
"No hitting me!" Riku whipped his head around.
"I'm not hitting, I'm spanking." Seifer corrected as he massaged Riku's pale flesh. "Besides, it'll make it easier to shove the toy up your ass if your legs are further apart, so quit bitching, I'm only trying to help." Seifer scoffed as he pushed Riku's legs out even more.
Riku held in his whimpers as he kneeled in terror, hating himself for making the deal, but knowing it had to be done to protect his students.
Seifer ran his hand along Riku's inner thigh, causing the silverrete to move it out further.
"Good boy." Seifer smirked before he put the small toy in his mouth. "Say 'ah'," Seifer grinned as he shoved the toy up in one swift move.
"Nya!" Riku quivered as the small buzzing started to affect him. The length of the toy was smaller than the size of his palm, but the power behind it was insane.
"Alright now, the shape of it is designed to stay in even during movement, so don't worry yourself by thinking it'll fall out, ok? Just make sure you don't push it out by accident, or else I'll have to punish you." Seifer said as Riku pulled up his boxers and shorts.
"Ah, hah, ah," Riku's breath's were shallow as he tried to adjust.
"You're going to give it away if you breathe like that." Seifer chuckled.
"I, I can't do this." Riku gulped nervously, his eyes wanting to water at the trauma his body tried so desperately to forget.
"Shh, aww, such a beautiful crybaby you are." Seifer mocked, and at the humiliation, Riku took a big gasp-like sob.
"Shut up and go before I change my mind and rape you anyway." Seifer took another swat at Riku's butt, and the silverrete whimpered before he forced his confused body to run out the door. His legs were quaking as he leaned against a wall in the hallway, his knees buckling as his ribs felt like they were caving in. Knowing he had to last two whole hours like that was as depressing as Riku had ever felt, and he knew that it was only a matter of time before his body would collapse. With a prayer that he could make it two hours before crashing, Riku took slow wobbly steps all the way down to the field.
"Hey, you ready to start?" Axel asked casually and Riku nodded. "You ok? Something's off," Axel quickly picked up on Riku's strange demeanor.
"I'm tired and busy with no time to explain my private life." Riku remained as blunt and professional as he could. Every time he opened his mouth, he wanted to scream, so he knew he had to rush words out as carefully and quickly as possible.
"Whatever," Axel rolled his eyes, figuring that Riku would remain just as stubborn as ever, so asking a second time would be futile.
"Alright, let's get this scrimmage started!" Roxas cheered. The blonde loved having fake games where the team was divided into two teams and real game rules were used to simulate competitions.
Naturally, both captions started each half, and remained on the field for as long as they could muster, but Riku called for a substitute player just five minutes into the game.
"You ok?" Axel asked as Riku ran off the field and took his much needed break on the bench.
"Not feeling good," Riku held his stomach. He wondered if food poisoning would sound believable, but then of course it would require testing the dinning hall's food and changing menu's and testing various students, not to mention way too much paperwork.
"Riku you don't look so good," Demyx gave a worried look to Riku before he ran into the game as the president's substitute.
"Hey, time out!" Axel jogged off the field and ran up to Riku, staring at the grunting teen. "Prez, you need to go to the nurse."
"I'm fine. Please, ignore me," Riku bent forward, compensating for the tease of a device inside him.
"Prez," Axel started to argue, but Riku stood up.
"I had a weird leg cramp but I'm better now." Riku cleared his throat.
"A leg cramp in your stomach?" Axel asked, not so convinced.
"Since you are not qualified to make health assessments, I shall disregard your statement." Riku gritted his teeth.
"He looks better," Roxas shrugged, for simplicities sake.
"Yeah, I'm sure Riku just needs to de-stress, and I know soccer's the best way to do just that." Hayner agreed.
"Yes, my stomach is hurting from stress, but playing helps. Demyx, will you let me sub back in?" Riku asked humbly.
"Sure thing." Demyx smiled cheerfully as the game started back up again. Axel shook his head, not falling for any of Riku's deceit, but decided to let Riku carry out his acting as far as he could.
After the first half, Riku felt a migraine growing inside his numbing brain while his legs felt more like jello.
"Good goal Roxy," Axel spanked Roxas playfully after the blonde scored in the beginning of the second half.
"Great pass Axe," Roxas spanked him back.
"Call Sora!" Hayner laughed jokingly as the rest of the team laughed. All the while, Riku watched in disgust. His body ached, but what made him truly feel sick was watching Axel spank Roxas. After everything Seifer did to him, Riku knew he wasn't ready to handle such playful acts, but he couldn't deny that he had this selfishness inside him that made him jealous. After Hayner made his comment about notifying Sora, Axel winked dramatically to feed into the humor, but Riku felt a sadness about him that made him want to lecture the redhead against being so flirtatious. He knew he had no right to be jealous, no right to expect Axel to be so committed to him, yet he couldn't help but feel abandoned. Those emotions, mixed with the swirling inside his lower body, caused Riku to drop to his knees.
"Prez?" Axel ignored Roxas as his teammate took the ball up the field, and he jogged towards Riku.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Riku stood up ever so slowly. "Just had a minor leg cramp again. I think the stress is causing my muscles to tense." Riku took a deep breath, hoping to convince everyone.
"You should go sit down," Axel shook his head, tired of the lies that he saw right through.
"I'm better. Please, let's continue." Riku didn't even look at Axel as he got back in position, leaving the redhead no choice but to do the same. Axel sighed as he joined in, and after a couple more minutes, Riku found himself in possession of the ball again.
Riku felt his stomach clawing at his insides, demanding freedom from his torturous prison.
He knew that he wouldn't last much longer, so he decided to pass the ball as soon as he got the chance. The silverette pulled his leg back, but it arched his sore back too much, and after failing to kick the ball, he collapsed.
"Prez!" Axel shouted, running over to the school president.
"What happened?" Roxas neared the injured body on the field.
"Prez?" Axel reached for Riku's trembling body.
"Don't touch me!" Riku sat up on his hands and knees, swatting away Axel's hand, rejecting his help.
"Prez what happened?" Axel demanded an explanation to the random accident that caused Riku's body to give way.
"I pulled a hamstring, I'm fine." Riku grunted, wanting to turn off that damned device, but he knew that wasn't an option with the audience present.
"You ok?" Hayner asked and Riku nodded.
"Let me help you off the field." Axel reached again for Riku.
"No! I can do this myself." Riku rushed his pained body to stand up, not wanting Axel to feel the vibrations of the toy inside him. Axel shook his head with a sigh as he watched Riku limp, hands on his hips as he paused, hearing a light buzzing sound.
"Prez?" Axel asked in the awkward silence before Roxas and Hayner started yelling at each other, complaining about how they would even out the teams without Riku.
Luckily for Riku, the rest of the team joined in on the debate, which helped the guilty president make a clean escape.
Axel shook his head, charging steadily for Riku and grabbing his arm from behind.
"Ah!" Riku's weak body started to fall when Axel caught him.
"Hey, it's ok." Axel rubbed Riku's back, feeling the trembling body as Riku sniffled.
"I need to go." Riku whispered, wanting so badly to rid his body of the toy.
"I'll take you." Axel whispered back before he turned to address his bickering team.
"Alright, I'm going with Prez, so now the teams are even. Luxord, you're in charge." Axel said before he moved Riku's arm so that the silverette was leaning on his body, and the redhead put his hand on Riku's hip, helping him walk.
"You cold?" Axel asked, feeling Riku shiver.
"Yeah," Riku lied, hoping that Axel wouldn't find the source to his dramatic quaking.
"Almost there." Axel said as the two walked quietly to Riku's dorm. Riku unlocked his dorm without a word and rushed to close the door behind him, but Axel threw his hand in the doorway and caught it before it closed.
"Whoa, slow down. I want to make sure you're resting in bed before I go get you some ice." Axel said as Riku started panting. His body couldn't withstand the buzzing any longer as his ass went numb from the pleasurable teasing.
"P-Prez?" Axel asked quietly as the silverette whimpered. "What really happened? I know for a fact you didn't tear a hamstring, so what's the cause of your injuries?" Axel felt his heartbeat rise as his breathing slowed down in a horrified concern.
Riku whined loudly, his entire body shaking violently as he felt his head sway.
"Prez!" Axel snapped as Riku fell to his knees, his palms catching his weight.
"I can't," Riku cried, his eyes clenching shut as his rear muscles tensed up. "Ah!" Riku screamed at his own stupidity that squeezed his muscles around the toy.
"Prez tell me what's going on! Let me fix it!" Axel panicked.
"Eh!" Riku panted loudly as his elbows shook, about to give way as he remained on all fours.
"Prez!" Axel felt his own eyes water as he tried to find the source of Riku's struggles. Axel put his hand on Riku's shoulder, working his way down Riku's spine as he noticed that the shaking increased. Axel titled his head when he felt strong vibrations, and through Riku's constant whining, Axel heard the buzzing again.
"Oh my god," Axel gasped before he pulled down Riku's shorts, which revealed just how dramatically Riku's body was shaking. "Prez, please, forgive me." Axel bit his lip and closed his eyes, not wanting to invade Riku's delicate privacy. Without using his sight, Axel did his best to pull down Riku's boxers, causing him to release loud, stored up tears.
"I'm so sorry Prez," Axel felt incredibly guilty as he kept his eyes closed and reached for where he guessed Riku's entrance would be. Riku let out another cry when he felt Axel's hand on his bare flesh, but the redhead did his best to hide any tears or fear, for Riku's sake.
"It, it's ok, I'm going to take it out." Axel gulped, reaching inside for the black toy.
"Nyaa!" Riku's ass flinched when Axel started to pull.
"Shh, it's ok Prez." Axel swallowed hard, wanting to rip it out, yet be sensitive all at once.
"It hurts so bad," Riku complained with a weak voice.
"I know, I'm trying." Axel swallowed nervously as he tediously pulled on the toy.
"Hurry!" Riku yelled as Axel obeyed and yanked the toy out. "Owwwy, fuck!" Riku's elbows caved in as he fell on his face, sobbing with loud whimpers. Axel turned his head away and opened his eyes, stretching his arms out without directly looking to fix Riku's clothing. Once he knew that Riku's boxers were pulled up securely, Axel looked to fix his gym shorts, thankful that both articles of clothing had only been yanked down slightly to begin with, making them easy to fix. As Riku trembled in humiliation, Axel exhaled loudly, unsure of what to do or say.
"Owwwy! Ow!" Riku shuddered in the floor, taking refuge in his own arms as he cried quietly. Axel watched, absolutely horrified as he witnessed Riku's pain, wondering what he could possibly do to help.
"P-Prez?" Axel asked with a gulp, intimidated by the silence. There was the boy who he loved most, lying face down, in tears, weak and vulnerable as Axel tried not to make the awkwardness any more apparent.
Riku remained silent with the exception of his whimpers as he hid his face between his arms and the floor beneath him.
Axel sat on his feet with his knees bent before him, hesitating to touch Riku in fear of making Riku even more uncomfortable.
"Prez, who, who did this to you?" Axel swallowed hard, preparing to beat up whoever Riku ratted out.
"No one. I, I did it myself." Riku sighed deeply, taking deep, much needed gasps.
"It was Seifer, wasn't it?" Axel asked calmly, not even bothering to address the ridiculous lie.
Riku shook his head as he remained helpless on the floor.
"You really expect me to believe that you'd torture yourself like that?" Axel asked, a bit offended.
"Thought, thought it would feel good. Left it in too long." Riku continued with his fib.
"Why would you even bother to do such a thing?" Axel didn't care if he was asking a personal question; he needed to be sure of the culprit.
"I've been, lonely." Riku let out a single tear, not needing to fake it, but it sure helped. Deep down inside, he knew he wasn't lying about being lonely.
"Excuse me?" Axel couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm a man, what do you expect?" Riku huffed.
"You're telling me that you did this to yourself, because your carnal cravings led you to?" Axel stood up tall while Riku nodded in shame, aware that he wasn't convincing anyone.
"Forgive me for being lewd, Prez, but you're not excited in the slightest, and you're gym shorts are still dry, so there's no sign of you having already succumbed to such a pleasure as this." Axel held the toy in his palm.
"I, I," Riku tried to think of another lie. "It takes a lot to excite me, not that I owe you the pleasure of knowing such intimate details concerning my life." Riku sat up slowly on his knees, gritting his teeth at the aching in his lower back.
"You know, I'm both hurt and offended, and I don't know which is worse. I'm hurt that after I'll I've tried to do to help you, you don't trust me enough to be honest. And I'm offended that you would disgrace your own dignity and purity to protect the culprit responsible for invading you by claiming that you participate in such barbaric activities." Axel shook his head.
"Is it a crime to try to pleasure oneself?" Riku couldn't believe he was having such a conversation, but he knew he needed to keep up his lie.
"You're the school president, pure and respectful. To attempt such an act in a public setting is a shameful dishonor to you, the team, and this Academy." Axel squatted right by Riku's face. "So tell me, whose toy am I holding?"
Riku gulped. "Mine," he couldn't control the shaking in his voice.
Axel sighed loudly, stood up, and aimed for the door.
"Where are you going?" Riku grew scared, already knowing the answer.
"To give Seifer back his toy,"
"Axel no!" Riku stood up all too quickly and tripped, but he realized he could use his fall as bribery to get Axel to stay.
"Help me? It hurts!" Riku exaggerated his pain as he grabbed his stomach. Axel naturally had to comply, so he exhaled loudly through his nose, shut the door, and cradled Riku, placing him in bed. Riku knew that he had to keep his arms around the redheads neck to keep him from killing Seifer, so even after Axel had let go, Riku continued to hold on.
"I will return." Axel tried to detach Riku's arms, but the silverette hung on desperately.
"Don't leave me," Riku begged so convincingly, he actually felt bad for playing with Axels emotions. That was until Axel stood straight up, removing Riku's arms, but still holding his hands in his own.
"Please don't take advantage of my love for you. I may be under the spell you've cast over me, but I'm not stupid." Axel dropped Riku's hands and turned around.
"Axel if you love me, you won't open that door!" Riku shouted.
"And why the hell not?" Axel turned around and yelled louder.
"Because Seifer will punish me," Riku sniffled, looking away in shame.
"I will protect you." Axel said calmly.
"Hasn't worked so far now has it?" Riku almost felt bitter. He knew he owed Axel for saving him multiple times, but there was a source of pain and anger that Riku recognized as being misplaced towards the redhead.
Axel's mouth opened with the intent to defend himself, but no words came out as his eyes watered. He sniffled, blinking repeatedly to force the tears away as guilt set inside of Riku, knowing that his comment was completely unnecessary. In an attempt to take it back, Riku spoke out again.
"Axel it's not his toy. If you want to hurt him because of his previous actions, file a student complaint." Riku was beginning to sound desperate as he sat up weakly on his own. Axel walked back towards the bed Riku was sitting on and swallowed down all hurt.
"Look me in the eye and tell me this is your toy." Axel asked, staring straight into Riku's eyes.
"It's my toy. After you told me what you bought the Kidakama twins for their birthday, I realized I was in need of a similar pleasure. I bought it soon after and have been using it on my own, at night. It's never been enough, so I thought maybe having it in during practice would help. I was wrong. I'm sorry I made you worry." Riku finished his new lie, but he sounded so certain, he knew he had done a great job at making it sound real.
Axel nodded before he sat down next to Riku, letting out a tired sigh.
"Please, may I have it back? I know better now than to use it in public. And you were right; it's not something a president should do amongst others." Riku held out his hand.
Axel shook his head slowly, confusing the silver haired teen.
"Axel?"
"Why do you insist on lying to me?" Axel asked so quietly and calmly, it frightened Riku.
"I'm not," Riku whispered.
"I can't Prez, I just, I can't fathom why you would insist on saving Seifers ass when he's trying to break yours." Axel stood up.
"Axel I forbid you to go anywhere near Seifer!" Riku hoped that Axel would obey, although he knew the odds weren't in his favor.
"Forbid me? Forgive me for being so bold, but being president clearly doesn't make you wisest." Axel gave a slight bow, and then walked up to the door before he paused.
"I suggest, before a thought of stupidity begs you to return to Seifer, that you find a new bodyguard." Axel kept his back to Riku as he spoke. "I can't help someone who doesn't have enough dignity to maintain their own honor, especially at the cost of protecting a threat to this Academy, the very Academy that you claim to serve." Axel cleared his throat, and when he turned around,
Riku saw mist forming in the redheads eyes. "Besides, it's like you said: I've failed at protecting you anyway." Axel bit his lip as Riku's heart gained weight within his chest, the guilt pulling down on his weary body.
"Axel," Riku wanted to take it all back but Axel interrupted him.
"It's because I love you that I won't reveal your secret. If news got out that you were making deals with Seifer after he tried attacking students, your position as President would be stripped away immediately. Forgive me and my tongue, but I refuse to win the race for presidency in such a mediocre way. Do try to pose some challenge by thinking about your decisions." Axel opened the door, about to step through when Riku called his name.
"Where are you going?" Riku asked with a gulp.
"To give Seifer back his toy." Axel gripped the black vibrator and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Riku put a hand to his head, more confused than ever. It's as if everything Axel said was something he already knew, yet failed to see the truth behind until he heard it. He never realized how deep into the situation he was, and how easily he could lose his job. Riku knew he had to come clean to Axel, but first, he needed to keep him away from Seifer. The silverrete exited his room as fast as his injured body could carry him, traveling down the hall, knowing that Axel was headed to Seifer's room.
Author's Note: I know, we're all thinking it "Sarabellum, please make Axel kill Seifer?!" Trust me, I have some good stuff coming up! I'm hoping to end this story soon, although not any time too soon, since I have a new Akuroku and a new Soriku that I'm super excited to be working on! So please stay tuned for that!
Believe it or not, this chapter is ALSO another censored version of what I originally had, so yeah, that's enough for the super dramatic themes I think lol. So get excited for the next few chapters, things are about to turn!
To LovedLikeaLoveSong: Lol, oh the stupid struggle games in KH2 haha. I miss that game (don't have my PS2 here with me in japan, it awful). Lol, thanks, as always I appreciate the reviews, and no date number 2 with that Japanese guy but its ok, I look back and realize we were both just lonely and kind of used each other, but on the bright side, I have a part time job teaching English to kids now, so I'm happy to be doing something productive and not just school lol. I hope all is well with you =)
To kindofabadger: Yes, that was the censored, and this chapter too. Hahaha, Axel will have his revenge, sweet glorious revenge. Yes, I could use some cuddling right now.
To Nowa-Hikari: Yes, others can touch him, but who else would want to challenge Seifer, especially since Riku is making Axel keep it a secret, and since Axel is the type who wants to dish out his own revenge. Hehe, yes, you have my word about Axel's explanation of Xion, and well its no use pretending that a kiss isn't in the future hehe!
To Cirxe145: Yes, poor Riku, the words on his tongue and right when he opens his mouth, silenced. Yes the original was written during my times of frustration, then I later realized, not fair for Riku lol. Haha, I agree, homework sucks. Nothing new, same old college controlling my life lol.
To xSonya: lol, thanks, I wish I were, but as of now I'm working on 6 stories. The list never ends or shortens, even as I finish stores lol. Yes, time will reveal Riku's appropriate timing for such special words. Thank you for reviewing!
To luckycat222: Yes, Riku was so close to spitting it out, but bad timing! Don't worry, the time will come soon enough =) Thank you for your review.
Keyblade Master13: No need to apologize for the 'rant', I completely agree with you on that one. Yes, I wrote the non-censored version when I was really agree at a lot of people and memories, and recently realized that it wasn't fair for Riku lol. Hmm, I think I deleted the original version and replaced it with the non-censored one, but I'll check just in case! (might have to wait though, time is not my friend as of late….aka: final exams coming up). Thanks for the patience, and as always, thank you so much for your reviews, I truly look forward to reading them. Hehe, glad to hear that you liked the chapter! Thank you!
To Zelta Frost: haha, good question, I'm not sure why Seifer has so many vibrators. Awww, yes, those two in bed together are so adorable, aren't they? Hahaha, I didn't think about that chapter ending of just "I love you" so thank you! The meaning of the bolds words (which by the way you are the only one who brought it up) means that I was supposed to name the chapter that, but I forgot to and I forgot to UNbold the words, so my bad! Lol.
To Rikuobsession: Oh yes, I agree. Seifer should die. Yes, I feel bad for the heavy themes in the story, so the bond at the end hopefully made up for it as best as I could. Thanks for the review!
Thank you everyone for reading.
