Valentine's Day, oh joy!
Chapter VIII - 'Good' By No Means
Tuesday morning was again too soon for Roxas. He had not slept at all the night of Monday so to have his wide blue eyes watch the sunrise for the day of Tuesday to begin was not at all welcoming for the blonde. He wished so badly for at least four more hours of darkness, so that just maybe he could get his eyes to close and his body to relax.
Sadly his wishes were just as they were, wishes, and he pulled himself off of his bed without complaint. He did his morning routine, though appeared slower and sloppier thanks to his useless arm, but still got done before grabbing all he needed. The bag was heavy on his one shoulder but he gritted his teeth and bore the load as he walked down the sidewalk to the school, which was thankfully close. He arrived and slumped onto a random bench, panting as his bag fell to the ground off his already aching shoulder.
"Roxas!" A voice screamed and in no time hands were framing his face making him look up. Sora looked back at him with a mixture of feelings etched onto his face. A recipe of anger, worry, confusion, and all out concern all aimed right at the hurt junior.
"What are you doing here? Did you carry that bag all the way here? Why didn't you call me? I thought you were staying home today too! You should have stayed! Why didn't you tell me to come over and help you? What are you-"
"Sora…" Roxas whispered but thankfully it was enough for Sora to silence himself and pay full attention the blonde. Rox sighed as he moved the brunette's hands away from his face before running a hand through his own hair.
"I had to come. I had to…cause he found me." The blonde again whispered but Sora heard him loud and clear, whose eyes turned to wide saucers. He understood what Rox was saying but it was still hard to believe.
Axel had found out where Roxas was living. Axel had visited Roxas last night at Rox's own house. How was that possible? Did the Organization really have that many resources at their finger tips? Did Axel have those kinds of resources? Apparently so and he used them to their fullest potential.
"My gawd…" Was all Sora could get out before he sank down on the bench besides his cousin. This was not good.
"He said I had to come. That there was no where I could hide from him." Rox added as he only continued to look down at the ground, though now he felt worst. He had now involved Sora. Sora knew his predicament and now would be vulnerable to the Organization's torture if he tried to interfere. That was the last thing he had ever wanted, but there was no taking back his words now.
The two cousin's suddenly froze though as darkness covered them, a tall lean shadow covered them from the sun. It could only belong to one.
"Roxas, good to have ya back." That cold sinister voice practically smirked at them from up high over their heads. Roxas didn't look up but Sora only so raised his head. A dark chuckle followed before a hand landed on blonde spikes, making Rox freeze in his bones.
The hand didn't clutch hairs nor dig nails into skin, just remained flat on his head. That was the scariest of all, that it did not make a move.
As all the thoughts rushed through Rox's head of what Axel was going to do, the hand was suddenly removed and the shadow had disappeared, leaving both Rox and Sora to welcome the sun's rays on their skin.
Sora let out a breath of air and Rox glance over seeing that the brunette was now shaking in his seat, only to realize that he too was shaking. It was terrifying. In that small simple gesture from the redhead, the older teen had both of them at his mercy. They were at his total control. How was it with just a single hand the elder had them scared beyond recognition?
Well, Roxas knew one thing was sure from that single act. Today was not going to be a 'good' day back.
