Chapter Thirteen

…

A couple of days had passed since Roxas made the rather …interesting decision to give things a shot with Luxord. Things were strange at best… it didn't feel right to Roxas, but it was at least keeping his mind off of Vanitas for the first time since they'd broken up. Sex with Luxord had the tendancy to wipe his thoughts completely clear… and that was what he needed.

But he just couldn't shake the feeling that something was just… wrong.

…

Axel sighed heavily as he prepared for another scene with Luxord. At least for this one they were both almost fully clothed... Roxas was off on a lunch run, which meant that Luxord was free to be a complete asshole and not get yelled at. Currently, he was binding Axel's wrists carelessly, forcing the rope as tight as he could get it.

"Fucking Christ, Luxord… loosen the rope a little," Axel grit out, losing the feeling in his hands.

"Shut the fuck up," the older man sneered quietly, "I'm ready, Xig. You rollin'?"

Xigbar stared at them for a moment, "Loosen the rope, Luxord. I can see his hands turning purple from here. Don't you try to pull this shit over on me. Just because your little fucktoy intern isn't here to yell at you doesn't mean I'm gonna let you get away with maiming him."

The bleach-blond sneered a little, "Fucking pussy…" he grumbled, loosening up the knotted rope around Axel's wrists. "Can we start now, or does princess need anything else?"

The redhead stretched out his fingers, finally able to feel them again, "I'm fine. Let's get this over with."

"Now Axel… you still haven't fully submitted to Luxord. You're pissed that Demyx left you there, pissed that you're being tied up by a stranger. Say your lines as usual and then Luxord, you're going to whisper something in his ear. I don't care what you say now… we're going to voice-over it later anyways. Axel, you react to whatever he says with a terrified, yet angry look on your face. Got it?"

Luxord grinned… now was his chance to really fuck with Axel. "Got it, boss. Get that camera rolling."

As they began to film, Luxord put on his signature smirk and approached Axel from behind, wrapping a hand around his throat and forcing the man to look up at him, "Scared?"

Axel glared up at him, reciting his lines with ease, "I could never be afraid of someone like you… a coward, feeding on the insecurities of others…"

"And yet your own lover dropped you at my doorstep, begging me to turn you into a real man."

"Shut up…"

And that was Luxord's cue to lean in and whisper something to shock the man before him, "You wanna know something? You were right about everything. I threatened Roxas into going on a date with me… I told him that I would torture you on camera if he didn't go with me, and damn if that didn't get him to listen to me. I drugged him at the casino, took him home and fucked him senseless, and then convinced him that he had a wonderful time. And fuck if he isn't the most gullible kid on the planet… Now he's willingly dating me and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Your friend is a fucking moron… and I have him wrapped around my little finger."

The entire time that Luxord spoke into his ear, Axel's body began to shake with rage. They were on camera… he couldn't react.

"And you might ask yourself… why? Why would I do all of this?" Luxord continued, moving to his other ear now. "…Because I could."

"Cut… cut! Luxord, what the hell are you doing?! I said whisper something, not write a fucking monologue! But Axel, great job looking angry…" Xigbar rambled on while Luxord stepped back with a smug look on his face.

The moment the cameras shut off, Axel absolutely lost it. With the loosened ropes, it was easy for him to slide his wrists out of the bondage. In one swift move, he turned around and decked Luxord clean across the jaw. "What the fuck is wrong with you? Huh?!" he yelled at the fallen blond, "You took advantage of a broken, helpless man just for your own sick amusement?!"

"Do you have any idea how fucking easy it was to do what I did? One day the kid is calling me a creep and the next he's crawling into bed with me! The kid is obviously fucked up."

"You threatened and drugged him!" Axel shouted, absolutely fuming mad, "And then you played your sick fucking mind games like you tried with me all those years ago!"

Luxord pulled himself back onto his feet, "How did it feel when he ignored all of your begging and pleas to stay away from me? Huh? To find out that not only did he not give two fucks about your opinion, but that he also didn't mind fucking your ex-boyfriend a few times?! Some friend he is, Axe… I totally get what you see in him…"

"Ohh stop trying to fuck with my mind, you god damned rapist. That's all you are. You rape people's minds and you rape their bodies too. When they asked you to come out here, all you saw was an opportunity to prey on somebody weaker than you. Well I'm not going to sit back and take it anymore. I can finally see through all of your bullshit, and I'm going to open Roxas' eyes too."

"He'll never believe you… he didn't believe you before, he won't know. He's mine," Luxord wiped a trickle of blood from the corner of his mouth, "And if you ever raise a hand to me again, I'll—"

Axel cut him off with a left hook this time, knocking Luxord back into one of the walls of the set, which crumbled backwards under his weight.

"Axel!" a scream from behind him caught him off guard. He turned to face the small intern, who was staring a them in complete disbelief.

"Roxas…" he took a step towards the kid, but he was grabbed by the back of his neck and shoved down to the floor, where Luxord proceeded to kick him in the ribs…. hard.

Roxas leapt up onto the set, attempting to stand between them. But Axel was back on his feet quickly, lunging for Luxord and grabbing him around the throat hard, "Tell him what you did to him, you sick fuck!"

Luxord gasped for air, clawing at Axel in an attempt to break free. "N…never…"

Roxas grabbed at Axel's arm, "Somebody tell me what the fuck is going on!"

Axel threw the elder back as hard as he could, slamming him into another set piece. "This disgusting piece of shit drugged you that night. He raped you, Roxas… and then he convinced you that you had god damned wonderful time so that you would bend to his every will."

Roxas looked over at Luxord, then back to Axel, "I don't understand…"

"He fleeced you, Rox… pulled the wool right over your eyes. He used you… like he does with everybody."

"I… But I didn't… I remembered parts of that night…"

Axel sighed, "He's done that to me too… he plants little seeds in your mind that turn into false memories. You remember begging him for it because he told you that you begged him…"

"It was the first time I'd forgotten about Vanitas… God… did I really let him take over my mind like that?" Roxas was clearly confused… It was almost as if he was coming out of a week-long fog. "He drugged me… You drugged me?!" he turned his anger towards the taller blond picking himself off the ground once again.

"Ohh, it was one time… you were so god damned uptight, and I knew I'd never get you into bed without some help."

Roxas rolled his eyes, "And you know what most people do when they run into that obstacle? They give the fuck up!"

"You're the fucking moron that fell for it…" Luxord mumbled, "It's not my fault you're a gullible idiot."

This time it was Roxas who lost his temper. He was never a violent man… he wouldn't dream of it with what he'd been through with Van. But, ohh did it feel good when his fist make contact with Luxord's face. "I have no idea what the fuck I was thinking, but we are done. You stay the hell away from me, and you stay the hell away from Axel. I should have listened to him in the first place… I was an idiot for that. But you listen to me… you are going to quit this fucking movie and crawl back to whatever hell you came from before you tried to ruin our lives, or I will be at the police station describing every fucking detail of how you raped me and I will make god damned sure that you rot in jail for the rest of your miserable life."

Axel just stared at Roxas as he spoke, completely dumbfounded by the words coming out of his mouth.

"Whoa, whoa… what the hell is going on?! Who's quitting?! And why are you assholes destroying my set?!" Xigbar came flying onto the stage.

"You're going to have to recast your Dom… this piece of shit is done here," Roxas spat at his boss, promptly turning and marching out of the studio.

Xigbar looked over at Axel, obviously confused, "Can someone tell me what the hell is going on?!"

"You hired a bonafide rapist, dumbshit," the redhead told him as he brushed past him to follow Roxas.

…

"Roxas, are you okay?" Axel found the blond in his dressing room, sitting on the couch looking absolutely shocked and horrified.

"I… I have no idea what happened. How could I let that happen to me? It was like my mind was taking every drop of common sense that I had and throwing it right out the window. I should have listened to you…"

Axel sat down next to him, rubbing his back in an attempt to comfort him, "You were still fucked up from Vanitas… You were just looking for a distraction."

"And I turned to the devil himself…" Roxas was absolutely embarrassed by his poor decision making.

"That man is poison to anybody he meets… once you become the object of his perversions, he'll do anything to make you his… You were doomed from the start, just like I was when I met him. Of course, we were together for two years before I realized what he was doing to me…"

Roxas looked over at him in surprise, "You lasted two years with that asshole? Fuck, Axe…"

"Everybody has their demons, Roxas…"

…

A/N: So… that was a fun chapter. I really hope that it didn't get confusing for anybody. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I know things might have been weird when I transitioned from the movie script back to real life. But I want to make sure everyone is able to enjoy!

But holy shitttt… Axel is such a sexy beast when he's beating the shit out of someone. And it was certainly a well deserved beating… What the hell did Luxord think would happen when he told him all of that shit?!

Anyways… I'm done with the total creeper drama for the moment. Now the relationship between Axel and Roxas can slowly blossom into the gorgeous thing that it is. Allll of this weird shit has had a purpose—simply to bond the two… to give them something to fight through together.

All right! I'll see you guys next chapter! Don't forget to review!
