Chapter 13

Secrets and Compromises

"I think it makes perfect sense." Axel said as he took the offered coffee from Riku. "My house is enormous. Hell we could probably go days without seeing each other if we chose to."

"Yeah it does sound good in theory but I would be in someone else's house again and not my own." Riku countered.

"What difference does that make? You want to spend money on rent or a mortgage? I'll charge you rent if it would make you feel better. Look I've been trying to get Roxas to move in with me and he keeps saying not yet. You said Sora is giving you the same response. If you ask me I think the brothers aren't ready to separate just yet so let's keep them together but with us." He grinned and it spread across his face. He was very proud of the solution he'd come up with.

Riku took a drink of his coffee as he considered Axel's offer further. "You know maybe it's not a bad idea. I bet they would agree to it if they could still be living under the same roof."

"Roxas still feels like he failed his brother so he doesn't like to leave he side. I try to tell him there's nothing he could've done but that doesn't change his feeling guilty. He is fierce when it comes to protecting Sora." Axel explained.

"Yeah I noticed that too. It's my theory that Roxas' constant protection of his brother is what made Sora so sweet. Roxas protects him from all the bad stuff but I can't help wondering who protects him from the bad stuff."

"I know, I always think about that. My little Roxy takes on the weight of that whole family. He's strong but there are times I wish he would just let go. I hope telling him about my past won't be the final straw for his patience and understanding. I don't want to lose him Slick." Axel looked down at his coffee and played with the sleeve around the cup.

"You need to tell him before they decide to move in though Axel. It would be bad to put him in the situation of having to move out if he can't deal with what you tell him." Riku replied as he leaned forward in his chair and rested his elbows on his knees.

"I know, I know, but I'm afraid if he does take it bad it will mess with his focus at the tournament and that could get him killed." Axel reasoned but his expression was anything but confident.

"Look Red, I really think that Roxas will be okay with it. He may be pissed that you didn't tell him right away but I don't think he'll hold it against you."

"No? I plan on telling him everything Riku. The whole nasty truth, such as it is." The disgust in himself was obvious from his tone.

"You were young and angry. You made some bad choices. Then you were trapped in a situation that seemed hopeless, but you changed. It's who you are now that matters not who you were then. Give your boyfriend some credit Red. He loves you very much. Besides look at what their asshole dad did and they forgave him."

"Yeah that one still amazes me." He was quiet for a while. "If it hadn't been for you I would never have gotten out of there and you know it."

"Axel I presented the option but you chose to take it. I didn't force anything on you. You are the one who wanted out. I saw everyday how much it was affecting you and I couldn't sit back and watch you destroy who you were. I've known you for a long time and to be honest I blame myself for what you went through. If I hadn't introduced you to them you would never have gotten involved in the first place."

"No, I will not let you take the blame for my fuck ups. Aren't you the one that just said I made the choice? Well I also made the choices that got me into that mess in the first place. Christ I can't believe I ever loved him." he was getting too agitated to sit still; he stood up and went to his window.

Riku got up and stood next to Axel. Neither spoke for a few minutes, they both fell into memories they didn't want to voice. "You know I always wondered why you did. Then I started watching you with him and I realized you didn't love him as a boyfriend would but rather as a friend would. It occurred to me that you were trying to save him from himself and you decided the only way to do that was with the help of an intimate connection. It was then that I discovered that my old friend who always acted like a badass with a chip on his shoulder was really a kind, loving, compassionate person. I didn't want that to be destroyed by the hate and evil you were surrounding yourself with and that's when I decided I needed to find away to help you get out."

"I can never repay you for doing that, you know that don't you?" Axel responded still looking out the window to the park below. He watched as a mother and father pushed their small children on swings.

"I get repaid everyday seeing what you've done with your life. You are a badass but you're also a nice person to those you decide deserve it and that's something I'm sure would have disappeared had you stayed with him." Axel turned to him then with a Cheshire cat grin. "What are you grinning about?" he asked the redhead.

"I think you're in love with me." he leaned in as if to kiss him.

"Get the fuck out of here you ass." Riku pushed him backward and chuckled.

Axel laughed and turned to walk back to his desk, Riku bent down to pick up the sleeve that slipped off his cup. He heard two rapid thuds taking only a second to recognize them he stayed down. "What the fuck! Someone just shot at us!"

Axel ran to the window and looked out. He spotted the shooter running through the park and the guards Riku had on him giving chase. "Looks like it, and your guards are chasing him." Riku stood up and saw only a glimpse of the men before they disappeared behind some trees. Axel looked at Riku, "Well I guess someone wants one or both of us gone. The question is who and why?"

"Yeah that is the question isn't it? I can't imagine it's him. No matter his seriously warped thought pattern I know without a doubt that he would never want you dead." Riku walked over to the window to examine the two small marks left by the bullets. "They obviously aren't very smart shooting at bullet proof glass."

"You'd think assassins would research my workplace before attempting to kill me." Axel mumbled.

"Unless they knew about the bullet proof glass and this was just a warning."

"It's possible I suppose but a warning for what?" Axel asked.

Riku considered the question for a moment, "Do you have any major deals going on right now that might draw out nutcases?"

Axel gave him a wry look. "I always have deals going that piss someone off but none are ever worth killing me over." Riku's phone rang. Axel pursed his lips trying to think of who would be trying to kill him or Riku or both.

"Hello. Yes we heard them. Well did you get a look at his face? What about the plate number? Yeah have it run and let me know as soon as you get the info. Yep, thanks." He hung up. "He had a car waiting on the other side of the park. They got a plate number but Doug said it's most likely a rental. He'll get back to me with whatever they find out. Well this will sure make life interesting for a while." He frowned. "I wonder if the twins would be targets too. We don't even know if this was at both of us or one and if it was just one of us, which one. This is really fucked up." Riku said as he thought out loud.

"That, my friend, is an understatement. Now we have to worry about our own asses as well as Roxas, Sora, Demyx, Zexy, Yuffie…" as Axel listed all of their charges Riku's stomach clenched.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. We are responsible for the safety of a lot of fricken people. And now we are on the list too. Great, just fucking great, so any ideas as to where to go from here?" Riku asked as he ran his fingers thru his hair and plopped down in the chair in front of Axel's desk.

Axel walked back to his own chair and sat as well. "I think the first thing we need to do is get the twins under the same roof as us."

"I never agreed to move in." Riku snorted.

Axel smirked, "A mere technicality, you decided to move in as soon as I suggested having the twins move in too."

"You think you know me so well. I didn't know for sure until we were shot at." He retorted with a smirk of his own. "There's still the issue of telling Roxas about your past. When are you going to do that?"

"I guess I'm going to have to do it tonight. If I have my way they'll be moved in by tomorrow night. I hope Roxas has saved some of that incredible understanding for me. I never thought I'd say this about someone but, I don't think I'd survive losing him. I would physically but I know there will never be another man for me. Roxas is the one, he's my other half. We just fit you know?"

"Yeah, I do know. It's like that with me and Sora. He makes me feel loved and appreciated like no one ever has in my life. He loves me for who I am, he doesn't expect me to change and he demands nothing from me. He only wants my love and companionship," he grinned wickedly, "Well he wants my body, desperately, he doesn't like being denied." He chuckled.

"What do you mean, denied?" Axel chortled.

"His injuries have made any kind of um, penetration, impossible and my little brunette is getting quite frustrated." His grin grew to an all out beaming smile. "I can't wait until its okay; I may not survive his demands." His eyes sparkled with amusement and Axel laughed.

"Oh Lord you'll be living in the house by then. I better soundproof whatever rooms you guys decide to take. So you two haven't done anything?" his face showed his shocked amusement.

"Well I didn't say that," he chuckled, "Would you be able to keep your hands off of Roxas for this long?"

"Nope, those boys are just too damn sexy to not touch." He grinned.

"Exactly, we have fun we ju…" his phone rang. "Yeah Doug what did you find out?" he looked at Axel and the look wasn't a good one. "Are you sure? Yeah, okay thanks." There was a pause. "No me and Axel will take care of it, yep. Bye." Riku blew out a long breath.

"So, who was it?" His eyes narrowed, his anger already rising.

"You won't believe it."

"Try me." He growled out.

"Apparently the car is leased by a sanitation company out of Twilight Town known for their extracurricular activities that no one really discusses out loud. Saix's uncle just happens to be married to the daughter of the owner's brother. Maybe they had no idea how well our connections are and didn't think we'd find the trail?" Riku shrugged.

"Well that parts obvious, but we don't really know which one of them ordered the hit or threat or whatever the fuck it was supposed to be. I tend to agree with you about him not wanting me dead. But I also don't see Saix having the balls or brains for that matter, to order something like this." Axel stated as he stood and paced slowly trying to piece the puzzle together.

"Yeah, I don't see him doing it either. And Aqua is defecting so that leaves, well still quite a few people. How many did you piss off at the school when you worked there?"

Axel laughed at that, "All of them at one time or another. I was a total asshole back then remember? I lived to piss people off, but I think we need to concentrate on more recent events. I didn't piss off anyone enough to hold a three year grudge, of that I'm sure."

"You sure? You can be pretty fucking nasty when you want to be." Riku teased.

"I'm sure. Well let's figure this out later I have to go pick up Roxas. I told him I'd take him out to dinner tonight."

"You sure that's a good idea after what just happened?" Riku asked as he stood to walk out with Axel.

"Yeah, I don't think whoever it is would be stupid enough to try twice in one day do you, considering they were almost caught?"

"You have a point. I bet they didn't realize you had guards on you. Now they're going to have to rethink their approach." Riku smiled.

"Wow, thanks for making me feel better." Axel replied as he held the door open for Riku.

"Anytime dude." Riku patted Axel's shoulder.

Axel glared at him but there was amusement in his eyes, "You're such an ass." He shook his head and chuckled.

"Yeah but you love me anyway." He pushed the button to the elevator, "So any ideas on how you're going to start the conversation with Roxas?" Riku asked.

"Not a clue. I just know I haven't been this nervous in years." The doors opened and they stepped inside. "I'm just gonna come straight out and say it I guess. It's not like there is any good way to tell him." He added.

"That's true. I wouldn't do it in bed though. I recommend you do it after dinner but before sex. Maybe get a nice bottle of wine with dinner to relax him a little then tell him." Riku suggested. The elevator descended with no interruptions going straight to the garage. Riku hit the button to keep the doors closed. "Wait a second." he hit a few keys on his phone. "Doug is it clear? Okay we're coming out of the East elevator, yep." he hung up. "Okay we can go out," he hit the open door button as Axel stared at him with lips quirked in the corners. "What?" Riku asked as they exited the elevator.

Axel chuckled, "I feel like the fucking President of the United States. I think maybe you should get those ear piece communication devices. You know like the CIA uses and the Secret Service." he had that shit eating grin of his going; the one that showed his perfect white teeth and the small dimple in his left cheek.

Riku glared at him, "Shut the fuck up you ass." he laughed as they got in Axel's car. "You were just shot at, do you recall that or is your attention span that limited?"

"I remember, thank you very much." he got serious, "Seriously though, thanks for having my back Slick. I appreciate that more than you'll ever know."

It was Riku's turn to grin, "Man that had to hurt." he smiled bigger when Axel grinned and shook his head.

"You have no idea how much." he replied as he started the car then pulled out.

ooOoo

"It didn't occur to you that the glass was bullet proof?" the man on the phone asked.

"I checked the schematics of the building; there was no mention of it sir. I assumed …"

"That was your first mistake." the man snapped. Xaldin didn't trust this man. He wasn't scared of much but the voice of his latest client would make Lucifer tremble. "They now know that someone has targeted them. I doubt they'll go to the authorities," he chuckled, "They know that would be useless anyway. Lay low for a few days until they relax their guard then try again, and Xaldin."

"Yes sir?"

"Don't fuck up again," the line went silent and Xaldin shuddered.

"What the fuck did I get myself into? Christ that guy fuckin' creeps me out," he ran his hands through his hair and continued to talk to himself as he cleaned his weapon. "How was I supposed to know they installed bullet proof glass?" he sighed, "I don't know how I'm gonna pull this off. Fucking Axel's guarded better than the President, four guards for a businessman? That seems a bit extreme. Maybe I should dig a little deeper into this?" he shook his head, "And maybe you should just get the fuckin' job done and get the hell out of here. Yeah that's definitely the smarter plan." He'd decided.

ooOoo

Sora was just getting out of the shower when he heard his phone ring. He knew it was Riku because "I'm Too Sexy" was playing. The hot water made his back loosen up so he was able to get to the phone fast enough to catch his call, though he was standing in his bedroom naked and wet now since he didn't grab the towel off the bar. "Hiya gorgeous." he answered with a smile.

"Hi yourself sexy. What were you doing? You sound a little winded." Riku asked concerned as always.

"I was just getting out of the shower and heard the phone so I hurried to get it before it hung up and I'm not winded. I am panting thinking about the incredibly sexy guy on the other end of this line." he giggled.

"So are you naked right now?" Riku asked in a husky voice.

Sora answered an octave lower than usual, "Yes and dripping wet, I forgot to grab a towel."

Riku's breath hitched, "Is that so? And are those delicious nipples of yours hard little pebbles the way I like them."

Sora moaned as his penis began to twitch and his nipples hardened at Riku's words. "Th-they are now." he managed to say.

"That's good." Riku whispered into the brunette's ear, his hot breath warming Sora's chilled skin. Just as it registered he could feel Riku's breath he felt those strong arms that were so familiar to him now wrap around his waist. Sora sighed and tilted his head to give his lover access to his neck.

"You were in the driveway." A statement, "Sneaky move Ri, very sneaky move." Goose bumps traveled down his arms and a tremble rolled through his body as Riku started kissing his way from the back of his ear to his shoulder. He covered Riku's hands with his own and relaxed against his strong hard body. In a low rough voice, "Why are you here Love?" he moaned when Riku bit the tender flesh at the curve of his neck near his collar bone. "N-not that I mind." He added in a breathy rasp.

His penis was almost fully erect now and Riku couldn't help himself. He slid his hand over Sora's slender hip then over his hardness. He wrapped his hand around the brunette's arousal and pulled upward. Sora moaned and his knees buckled. Riku tightened his grip around his small waist and held him up. He sucked at the smaller man's erratic pulse as he slid his hand slowly up and down his now rock hard sex.

"Riku." He whispered as he wrapped his hand around Riku's neck and began to pant, his hips moved to the rhythm of that strong hand's strokes. Riku's soft lips kissed their way up his neck and jaw. Sora turned to those lips and his were captured. Their mouths fused together as if they were two halves of a whole. Riku pushed his way past Sora's teeth and proceeded to invade his mouth in a sensual attack. Using his delectable tongue to tease, touch, and lick every reachable surface. He tasted of coffee and chocolate and Sora couldn't seem to get enough of him. Deepening the kiss brought a moan from Riku's throat that Sora swallowed eagerly.

Riku started moving his hand faster when Sora deepened the kiss. With the change in rhythm Sora grabbed a handful of Riku's hair and pulled making him moan. He felt Sora leak and knew he was close; he bit down on the brunettes bottom lip, Sora moaned and his hips tried to buck but Riku held him still.

"I can feel how hard you are." Sora gasped, "Please enter me Ri, please." He tried moving his hips again and this time Riku let him move then loosened his grip on Sora's cock so he slipped in and out of Riku's fist. "Ah fuck, Riku." He pulled hard on Riku's hair as he came his body jerking with every shot of cum that spurt out and coated Riku's hand. "I'm s-sorry." His body jerked again as one last shot erupted from his slit.

"No apologies my amazing Sora, that's what I wanted. I love holding you when you come. I love bringing you to orgasm and feeling your body quiver in my arms as it hits you." He whispered as he kissed Sora's neck still holding him tight, back to chest.

"But you're still hard and…"

"Love, I am always hard when I'm around you. We will make love soon, you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow right?" he kissed his shoulder and let go of him then went to the bathroom to get a towel. He wet one end then came back in and kneeled in front of Sora to clean him off.

"Yes I do, but…" he moaned little as Riku wiped his still sensitive flesh.

"But nothing, we will ask him tomorrow if it's okay and if there are any restrictions. Sora, we can wait one more day. I promise you, I will make it worth the wait." He finished cleaning him off, kissed his navel then stood and put the towel back in the bathroom. "Now come on, I would like to take my sweet, loveable boyfriend to dinner." He smiled at him.

Sora grinned, "Yeah, where do you plan on taking me cuz I am a picky eater you know." he giggled as he disappeared into his closet. He poked his head out, "and I have no doubt the wait will be worth it but that doesn't make it any easier." he pouted and disappeared again.

Riku snorted, "Here I thought I successfully distracted you with the mention of food." he shook his head. "Yeah right, picky eater, you'll try anything at least once and usually end up liking most of what you taste. Honestly I don't know how you aren't as big as a house." Sora walked out of the closet and Riku's jaw dropped, "Holy hell honey!" he was dressed in black jeans that hugged his thighs and molded to his groin perfectly. They were low riders so his hip bones jutted out just over the waist band and he had on a black silk button up shirt that was tucked in and just snug enough to tease at his lean build underneath. "God damn Sora how do you manage to look as sexy dressed as you do naked. Maybe even more sexy because you show just enough to create a picture of what's underneath."

Sora blushed deep red, "I bought this outfit for you, hoping you would like it."

"Oh I like it my love, I definitely like it. Let's go feed you and during dinner I have an important question to ask you?" he took his hand and led him out to his car.

Sora pursed his lips and gave Riku a curious look. "Why do I have to wait until dinner? Why can't you ask me now?"

"Because it's important and I want the right mood and setting for it." he opened Sora's door for him, shut it then walked around and climbed into his seat. Once they were driving he asked another question he'd been avoiding. "How are you doing with the pills?" He glanced at Sora then back at the road.

"Okay I guess, I took one this morning and one about an hour ago so that's two in 14 hours when I can have two every four to six hours." he answered looking out his side window.

Riku took Sora's hand into his own and gently squeezed. "That's really good. How's your pain? You looked like you were moving pretty good now that I think about it." He chuckled and Sora looked at him, Riku noted he was blushing. So cute.

"I am doing pretty good today actually, I do ache a little but it's just a dull ache not a sharp pain so it's easier to handle." He laced their fingers together. "So I guess that wasn't the question you wanted ask me?"

"Nope the question I need to ask you is strictly a happy subject, I promise." He smirked as Sora drew his brows together trying to guess what he was talking about. They drove in comfortable silence for a little while holding hands between Riku shifting gears and when he pulled into the restaurant parking lot Sora Squealed.

"Pedros! We're going to Pedros? Oh my God I love this place!" Sora practically jumped out of the car when Riku was parked. When he got out of the car he ended up with and armful of Sora hugging and kissing him.

"Well if I knew you would molest me over this place I would have brought you here sooner." he laughed. Sora blushed and slid his legs down so he was standing but still had his arms around Riku's neck. The position actually made his back feel better he realized. "Come on sexy let's go inside shall we?"

"Yes let's, and Riku?" Sora said quietly.

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

"I love you too Sora, with all my heart." he stopped and lifted Sora's chin then kissed him softly. When he pulled away Sora slowly opened his eyes as smile lit up his face and Riku smiled back.

ooOoo

"Are you sure you don't want me to take you out?" Axel asked for the third time.

"I'm sure, I just want to relax and spend a quiet night with you. We've been training every night for three weeks and tonight is the first night off we've had. I don't want to go out, just order a pizza or Chinese and let's watch a couple of movies." Roxas answered, "and then maybe we can full around a little bit before I go home." he added with a mischievous grin.

"Or we could full around a little bit now, then eat, full around a little more," he grabbed the blond's hips pulling him closer so he could nibble on his ear. Roxas put his hands on Axel's shoulders. "Then watch movies and full around during and after them." he kissed around Roxy's neck as he smiled.

Roxas laughed, "Good Lord do you every think of anything else Axel?" but his actions betrayed him when his hands slid to the redheads back while he tilted his head for Axel to get the spot that drove Roxy crazy. Never one to disappoint Axel went right for it. He kissed the spot first, Roxas moaned softly. He licked the skin then blew on the wet surface, Roxas hissed in a breath and began scrapping his nails along Axel's shoulders. He bit the spot and Roxas groaned as he pressed his body tight against Axel's. "But I'm hungry," Roxas panted out as he gently rocked his hips against Axel.

One of them needed to be strong here, Axel thought, Riku's words sounded in his head, "I wouldn't do it in bed though. I recommend you do it after dinner but before sex. Maybe get a nice bottle of wine with dinner to relax him a little then tell him." He groaned, Damn it he's right. He knew he had to be careful so he reeled in his lust and put his hands around his blond's waist and moved to his mouth. He kissed him tenderly, lovingly until he could feel their heart rates slow down. Roxas had his fingers at his nap playing with the hair there, a habit of his when they kissed. "You're right Love, I need to feed you," he gave him another light kiss. "I'll go order the food, we have all night to make love." he kissed him one more time and back away then turned and bolted out of the room to get the menus.

Roxas stood staring after him for a minute absolutely shocked that he was able to stop. He was still hard and a little breathless. What just happened, Axel never walked away from sex. "Axel honey, are you feeling okay?" he asked from the living room. He could hear Axel shuffling through the menus then closing the drawer and walking back to the living room with a smile and a handful of menus.

"Yes fine why?" he looked puzzled.

"You stopped what definitely would have turned into a love making session. You never do that."

"Yeah that's true but we have things to talk about and I would like to do that with a full stomach and at full brain capacity. I don't know about you but my brain loses about 50% of its usefulness after we've had sex." he gave Roxy his sexier then hell grin, the one that was slightly crooked curving up only on the right side with his eyes a darker green and his pupils slightly dilated telling him he was definitely still struggling against his need.

He couldn't help but laugh and plopped down on the couch, "Okay let's see what the choices are again." he patted the spot right next to him and Axel sat down pulling Roxy's leg over one of his thighs needing the contact.

"Here are the three best pizza places and these are the better Chinese places." Roxas cuddled closer to him allowing him to put his arm around the blond's shoulders as they looked at the menus. Twenty minutes later and several debates they finally had their food ordered. It took another fifteen minutes to decide on the movies from Axel's extensive library but finally they were settled on the couch with 'Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark' both of them put this in their top ten movies lists.

Roxas settled on Axel's right side with one leg between his body and the couch and the other draped over his thigh and his arm across his chest. It was their favorite position when they watched movies and they often fell asleep like that. This was one of Roxas' favorite parts of their relationship. Lying here watching a movie cuddled together. He turned to his red head and smiled.

Axel looked at him, "What are you smiling about." He asked and smiled back.

"I was just thinking about how much I love this time we spend together and how much I love you."

Axel kissed him, "I love it and you too, more than I ever thought I could love someone." He hugged him tight. I hope he remembers this when we have our talk.

Roxas looked at him with his brows furrowed. "Is something wrong?" Before Axel had to lie Mike came in with their food. Saved by the food, he thought as Roxas climbed off of him.

"Thanks Mike, did you pull your food out already?" Axel asked as he sat up.

"Yep, everything in here is for you guys. Seriously where do you fit all the food you eat?"

"It's called a lot of sex." Axel grinned, Roxas punched him and Mike laughed.

"Enjoy guys." He walked out still sniggering.

Axel jumped up, I need wine, must loosen my Roxy up a little. "I think I want some wine with dinner tonight, what do think?" he asked as he walked toward the bar area.

With a mouthful of crab Rangoon, "I'd prefer a beer."

Axel thought about that, hm beer would probably taste good right now come to think of it. "Okay, beer it is. Bottle or tap?"

"Tap please." Roxas answered as he set their plates out and pulled all of the containers out of the bags. He set everything up so they could sit on the floor and eat at the coffee table using the couch as a backrest while watching the movie and eating. Axel came back in with their beers and set the glasses down on the coasters Roxas had put out. He settled down next to Roxas and they started filling their plates.

"Okay so when are you going to tell me what you want to talk about? Don't mistake my lack of inquiry all night as lack of interest. I decided you must need time to work up to it which is making me a little nervous so if you don't mind I would like to just get it out in the open." Roxas picked up his beer and drank down half of it.

"Let me refill that for you, wait better yet I'll go get a pitcher so I don't have to get up once I get started." Axel stood noting Roxy's narrowed eyes looking at him which only made him more nervous.

"Gee if I didn't know better I might think you were trying to get me drunk."

"Or me either one will work for me." Axel mumbled as he filled the pitcher.

"I heard that honey. Now you're scaring me. Just how bad is it?" He pushed his plate away now too worried to eat. He finished the other half of his beer before Axel returned with the full pitcher so Axel refilled his glass for him before sitting back down. "Okay out with it." Roxas ordered.

Axel took a deep breath and slowly let it out as he tried to decide where to start. "Okay first let me start with the attempt on either my or Riku's or both of our lives today." There at least that would make him think about how it would feel to lose me. Good start.

Roxas' eyes opened wide in shock then his expression turned to pure fear. "What! Oh my God Axel what happened? How, when, where did it happen? Is Riku okay? Why didn't you call me and tell me right away? Oh my God I could have lost you!" He scrambled from his spot and squeezed between Axel and the table then hugged him so tight that Axel was struggling for breath.

Well I think it's safe to say he would miss me. "We were shot at, Riku's fine my glass is bullet proof. We were in my office this afternoon when a sniper shot at us from the park across the street. The guards Riku had on me chased him but he got away. They did get a plate though and we were able to trace it back to the owner. Rox, baby could you loosen your hold I'm running out of air." he squeaked out. Roxas loosened his hold but just barely.

"So you were afraid to tell me because of who you think is behind it?" he asked, his face still buried against Axel's neck.

Axel could hear the tears in his words and he immediately regretted telling him this part first. He didn't want to manipulate the man he loved but he couldn't lose him either. With his stomach in knots he continued. "No what I have to talk to you about is something I should have told you a long time ago but I could never find the words or a good time for that matter. And again I'm trying to make excuses. There is no excuse for not telling you. Please just remember how much I love you, you and no one else. I have never ever loved anyone the way I love you Roxy I promise you that with all that I am."

Roxas pulled his head back so he could see Axel but he stayed on his lap. "Go on." was all he said his eyes were a dark, intense blue. Axel couldn't tell what emotion it was.

"You know that Riku and I have been friends for a long time right?" he nodded, "You also know that Riku's dad is the owner of the dojo that Riku teaches at which also means he is associated with Ven, Terra, Aqua and the others."

"Yes I know all that already."

"What you don't know is how far my association with those people went." Axel added tentatively, he paused giving Roxas time to try to piece things together. "Shit Love I don't know how else to say this but just say it. I was in a relationship with Ventus." Roxy's body stilled, his eyes locked on Axel's and this time he could read the fury in those blue depths clearly. But he didn't try to crawl off of him yet. That had to be a good sign.

"How long?" the blond gritted out.

Axel swallowed, this is what he was dreading. "Three years."

Roxy jumped off his lap and spun staring daggers down at him. "Three Years! Three fucking years! And you wait until now to tell me!" He started pacing in front of the coffee table. "You know I don't even want to get into the 'he looks almost identical to me' discussion because that just makes me want to throw up thinking about it." he paced, Axel said nothing, what could he say? Nothing could make Roxas feel better at the moment. He was furious and had every right to be so Axel waited hoping he would calm enough for them to talk it out. He stopped pacing and looked at Axel, "If I didn't love you so fucking much I would walk out the door and never look back…" he told him in a dead calm voice that held more fury then the yelling did. He began to pace again. Axel waited.

His heart was shattered as he watched the pain he put his lover through. He was sure if he would have told him sooner Roxas wouldn't have given him a chance. He was also pretty sure after what he had just said to him that Roxas wouldn't leave him but that didn't mean this information wouldn't affect what they had. That's what he was afraid of at the moment. Would his Roxy ever look at him the same way again? Would he ever turn to him the way he did early and smile at the thought of how much he loved him. Axel was scared of losing that, the absolute closeness that he shared with Roxy like he'd never shared with another.

Roxas stopped pacing; he faced Axel, shoulders slumped he walked to the couch and sat in the corner farthest from the redhead with his knees tucked to his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. He rested his chin on his knees, took a deep breath then said, "Okay I'm ready to listen now. Explain to me why you were with such an evil person for so long. Who broke up with whom?" Tears welled in his eyes, "Why you chose to go out with me?" the tears began to roll down his cheeks and he wiped the first of them away. "Is it because you still love him and I'm the closest you can have to the real thing?"

Axel's heart sank to his stomach. The one thing he wanted Roxas to understand more than anything was that he was nothing like Ven, not even close. "Oh god baby no, don't ever think that please. The way you look has nothing to do with why I love you so much. Yes you do have similar features as Ven but the two of you couldn't be more opposite."

Roxas looked up at him, his eye already swollen from crying. His tears flowed freely down his soft beautiful cheeks. The hurt in those eyes was so deep that Axel felt his own eyes burn. "Roxy you're all that is good, where he is nothing but evil. Your eyes are bright and filled with love and kindness. His are dark and cruel filled with hate and anger. Your lips, those amazing lips are soft and taste of berries and cream, they speak words of encouragement and support, love and praise. His are hard and speak only lies, condescendence, and cruelty. Your face, your beautiful face is soft and kind, yet there is strength in it and your compassion is endless. His face is all harsh lines and cold stares. You are a breath of fresh air where he is stifling smog that chokes you with his misguided anger.

Axel noticed that Roxas' tears had slowed. "Do you really think all of that about me Axel?" he sniffed looking at him with his swollen but still startling blue eyes.

"I do baby, with all my heart I do I swear it. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. You are part of me Roxy. Without you I don't think I would be able to breathe. Please forgive me for not telling you right away, I never wanted to hurt you. Christ Rox, from the first night at the dojo I knew you were the one. I can't explain it I just knew I needed you in my life. You make me feel whole, you filled a part of me I didn't even know was missing until I met you."

"And you never felt this way with him?" he asked warily.

"Never, not with him or anyone I have ever dated. No one has ever made me feel the way I feel when I'm with you, no one." and then something happened that had not happened since Axel was five. He started to cry. The thought of hurting Roxas as much as he did and of losing what he felt when he was with him tore away his control and the result was tears, not anger but a sorrow so deep he felt as if his heart was bleeding out. He'd never felt an ache so deep, so intense, it was as if he was in danger of losing his very soul.

Roxas listened to Axel's words, and he didn't know how but he could tell he was speaking the truth. He was about to go to him when he was shocked still. Axel began to cry, his tough, strong, "I don't cry" Axel was crying and it was for him, them and what they had together. All of the anger and hurt melted away and all that was left was raw emotions and a feeling of love so deep it almost hurt to feel it. He went to his knees and crawled over to Axel who was still sitting between the table and couch. He slid back onto his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his body so there wasn't a centimeter between them and they cried together. Axel cried for the pain he'd caused his Roxy and the realization that he could very well have lost him tonight, and the relief that he wouldn't. Roxy cried because he now understood that Axel loved him as much as he loved Axel and he now knew that nothing could ever, ever come between them. This feisty, sexy, incredible man was his and always would be, heart and soul.

Finally Roxas spoke, "I don't need to know the details. Your past is your past. I am your future and nothing else matters, you left them and that life behind the day you walked away. That's all I need to know." He kissed the tears from Axel's cheeks then gave him a tender kiss that said I love you more than words could have said.

"Christ Roxy what did I do to deserve you." he whispered with his forehead against Roxy's.

"That's an easy one. You love me as much as I love you."

"I do baby, I really do. Thank you for loving me." he pulled the blond back into his embrace almost afraid to let go, afraid it was a dream. The pink elephant that had been sitting on his shoulders for months was finally gone and he still had Roxas. Thank you, whoever is watching over me, thank you for giving me this man.

"Hey Axy?" Roxas' muffled voice came from beside Axel's neck.

"Yes?"

"I think I can eat now." Axel could feel his mouth smile against his neck and he smiled too.

"Ya know I was just thinking that." He pulled Roxas to a sitting position, handed him his plate and they ate like that with Roxas sitting on his lap.

"Hey what was the question you wanted to ask me you mentioned earlier?" Roxas asked as he fed Axel a piece of sweet and sour chicken.

The redhead smiled wickedly while he chewed then swallowed. "Well you know how you keep turning me down when I ask you to move in?"

Roxas narrowed his eyes, "It's not that I don't want to."

"I know that, I think it's because you don't want to leave Sora. Am I right?"

"Yeah, that's why. I'm sorry I just can't…"

Axel put a finger over the blonds lips to stop him. "I understand why, and I agree with you. That's why Riku and I decided it would be a great Ides if they moved in here with us. That way you and Sora would still be under the same roof. What do you think?" He grinned, he had him.

A slow smile formed on Roxy's face as his eyes began to sparkle, "Riku was okay with it? Has he talked to Sora yet?"

"He was going to ask him tonight at dinner." Axel explained.

"We could wake up together every morning." Roxas' smile grew wider. "If Sora says yes then yes, yes I would love to move in with you!"

"Good it's settled then, I'll have your things moved in here tomorrow." Axel nodded and fed Roxas a wonton.

Eyes wide Roxas asked around his wonton, "Tomorrow!"

"Yep, I'm sure Sora will say yes and if he doesn't you could always change his mind right?"

ooOoo

Aqua was a little more relaxed tonight, though she was still cautious. She parked close to the building tonight and under a light. She didn't stop anywhere on her way home and broke her normal routine. All things Riku had told her to do today when she talked to him this morning. He also told her everything was set for tomorrow morning. One of his men was going to pick her up and set her up in a temporary safe house. Then in two weeks he would relocate her permanently, she was still depressed about that but she wanted to live and whether she stayed with them or left she was sure her life was in danger.

She went around checking the doors and windows one last time then went to pack. "Exactly what does one pack to go to a safe house? Now there's a sentence I never thought I'd hear myself say." She walked into her closet her favorite room in the apartment. It was a walk-in closet as big as some people's bedrooms. At ten feet by ten feet she could sleep in it if she wanted to. "I'm gonna miss my closet, my clothes. It took me years to collect the perfect wardrobe and my shoes, some of these are one of a kind." She moaned. "Okay maybe you should consider your priorities here. She held out her hands like a scales, severe injury, possible death or keeping my wardrobe? Hmm tough choice," she put the stereo on in her bedroom and set her suitcase on the bed then went to pick out some jeans and shirts first, she'd work her way from there on the shoes and under garments. She finally finished her packing forty five minutes later.

Now she was sweaty from dancing around her room while she packed. "Guess I'll take a shower now." she turned down the radio, grabbed a two piece pajama set and went into the bathroom. She turned the water on hot to warm up the room and create a thick layer of steam to open her pores. Stepping into the shower she added some cooler and let the water beat down onto her shoulders and back to relieve some of strain on them. She washed and cream rinsed her hair then decided to go crazy and shave too. She was rinsing the last of the soap off when she thought she heard a thump in the other room. Her heart began to pound hard against her rib cage. She remained still for a few minutes to see if she could hear anyone moving around. Silence. She grabbed the towel off the towel bar and wrapped it around her body after getting the access water off your face and out of her eyes. She looked for something to use as a weapon. She eyed the towel bar and snapped it out of the braces. With a weapon now she decided to put her pajamas on. She did not want to have to fight for her life in the nude.

Once her shorts and top were on she palmed the towel bar and slowly opened the door to her bedroom. She didn't sense any one was in this room but she checked anyway then slowly made her way to the closet. She was not so happy with its size at the moment. It just occurred to her how easily someone could hide in there. With her back against the wall she used the bar to push the door open. What sections of the closet she could see were clear but she still had to check behind the door. Her heart was beating so hard now she was sure it would explode inside her any minute. She spun out and back away from the door as she swung it closed to reveal the space behind it. She sighed in relief when there was no one there. She noticed her cell phone on the shelf, grabbed it and put it in the little pocket of her satin pj shorts. Moving on to the hallway she checked out the hall closet her heart pounding still and her hands shaking from the adrenalin coursing through her body. She pushed the door open, nothing. Next she approached the spare room, she thought she heard a floor board creak. Swallowing hard she slowly turned the knob, did I have this door closed? She couldn't remember. The door swung open in slow motion, she spotted a shadow. Gripping the bar tighter and switching her hold for maximum damage she eased into the room. Keeping her back to the wall she used the bar to reach the light switch and hit it. Nothing. The light wasn't working, "Fuck!" she whispered. She worked her way to the closet and flicked on that light, it worked. Aqua took a breath and looked around, no one. She was beginning to think she was paranoid, something she confirmed after the rest of the apartment came up empty as well. "Geez girl you are jumpy." She chuckled. Still she checked all of the doors and windows one more time then turned on most of the lights in her apartment and with a cup of hot tea with a little rum in it she went to her bedroom to watch T.V. and hopefully fall asleep. She put her phone on her night stand and settled in with a sweet love story. Her tea was gone in fifteen minutes and was doing its job nicely. She was relax and beginning to drift off, she fell asleep dreaming of what her new life would be like.

ooOoo

Down on the street half a block from her house a cell phone rang. "Yes sir?"

"How are things by you?"

"All's quiet for the moment it looks like she went to sleep early. Maybe she's just watching T.V. in her bedroom. Either way it's been uneventful." Nick explained to his boss.

"Good, that's what I like to hear. Who's working with you tonight?"

"Vinnie, he's watching the back of the building and checking in with me every ten minutes."

"Great, thanks for doing such a good job with her Nick." Riku said.

"No problem sir, it's what we are paid for, and we get paid what we do cuz we're good at it."

"And lack confidence as well." Riku chuckled.

"Nope we have absolute confidence sir." Nick reconfirmed.

Riku laughed at that, "Just keep me updated please, every hour, you can text me with updates."

"Will do sir." Nick promised.

"Good, stay awake now." Riku teased.

"Sir?"

"Never mind, talk to you later Nick." Riku said on a sigh and hung up.

Nick hit the two way button to check in with Vinnie. "Yo Vinnie."

"Yeah?"

"Do a perimeter check."

"Sure thing Nick, the moving will wake me up."

"Check back with me when you're done." He clicked off and checked out Aqua's window. "Yeah she must have decided to watch T.V. in bed tonight." He settled in keeping his eyes open watching for anything out of the ordinary.

ooOoo

By the time Riku returned to the table their food had been served, "Everything okay with Aqua?" Sora asked while he stuffed a tortilla with steak, beans, cheese, and sour cream.

"Uh, um, I…" he sighed, "I'm sorry Sora, I just wanted to check in with her guard. I should have ju…"

"It's okay, I told you I wouldn't keep you from helping her and I don't want to make you feel bad for worrying about her. I was sincere in my question I wasn't trying to make you feel bad." He explained as he took a bite of his taco.

"I didn't think you were trying to make me feel bad, you don't do things like that." He smiled. "Thank you for being so understanding Sora."

"So is everything okay?" he asked again.

"According to Nick it is. He said he thinks she's already in bed."

"Good, so what did you want to ask me?" Sora smiled.

"Oh yeah, I did have an important question to ask you didn't I? Hold on a second." He picked up his phone and typed a message. A few seconds later he got a response and grinned. "So that question."

"Wait a minute, what was that all about?" Sora asked.

"That was just a confirmation for the go ahead on the question. Anyway how would you like to move in with me?"

Sora sighed, "Ri we've had this conversation. I can't right now."

"Oh but wait, there have been new developments. See Axel has been trying to get your brother to move in with him too. And he was getting the same response so we thought you guys might agree to living together in Axel's mansion, all four of us."

Sora's smile was immediate, "Did Roxas agree?"

"Yep, that was the text I just got."

"Then yes I would love to."

"Great! Axel's moving your stuff in tomorrow." Riku chuckled when Sora almost spit out his food.

"What!"

"Yep, he figured you guys would say yes if you could still be under the same roof so he made arrangements to move you guys in tomorrow."

"What if I said no." Sora asked indignantly.

"We would have had to convince you I guess."

"The two of you are dangerous together." Sora giggled. He was actually ready to burst with how excited he was. All this time he'd been saying no because of Roxas but if they could still be in the same house. That would be perfect! "But do we have to wait until tomorrow." He had a Cheshire cat grin and Riku burst out laughing.

"I definitely think you should just stay over tonight." Riku agreed.

ooOoo

Aqua finally succumbed to the chamomile and rum and drifted off to sleep with the T.V. still on. She began dreaming of a warm clean beach. The safe house she'd been assigned to was on the ocean, in the Bahamas. She was currently on a lawn chair watching half naked hot guys playing beach volley ball. Both were flirting with her of course, she was sipping a tropical drink, baking in the sun with glistening men falling over themselves to impress her. She was having the time of her life. Suddenly a hand covered her mouth. She struggled to get loose and the volley ball guys just looked shocked but didn't help her.

She was violently pulled back to reality and realized that her mouth was covered by a huge calloused hand that smelled of cigarette smoke and cum. She dry heaved then began bucking her hips to try to get him off of her. He had his body stretched out over hers with his knees pinning hers to the mattress and his other huge hand had her wrists trapped over her head. The position of his legs had hers forced apart. Finally thinking straight she realized what his intentions were and fought harder to buck him off of her but she couldn't budge him. It felt like a tank was parked on top of her then she felt him shoving something into her mouth. It was a dirty sock she had worn earlier that day.

With a gag in her mouth he now had a free hand and he ran that hand roughly down her body grabbing the material under her arm and yanked it down hard the strap tore into her flesh before finally giving way and breaking. He pulled her top down around her waist and started to squeezed her breast painfully tugging at her nipples making her yell out in pain. There was nothing pleasurable about this. She bucked and squirmed and kicked her feet up trying to get him off of her. She couldn't move him. The tears of frustration, fear and helplessness were trailing down her face. She pleaded with him to not do this, her words muffled and unintelligible with the sock in her mouth.

He laughed and it was evil incarnate. Her blood froze in her veins. She could hear the cold deadness of his emotions in his voice. He yanked her head back by her hair and put his face next to hers. His breath was foul and he spit when he talked, "I've been watching you for too long to not get to touch you." He licked her cheek and she gagged. She had to control any vomiting or she would choke on it. He grabbed at her breasts again squeezing hard, using brute force to get maximum pain reaction. She noticed every time she yelled from the pain he bucked his hips. His erection was jabbing her back side, she did not want him inside her. Her tears came faster. She refused to give up fighting. He flipped her over forcing her to look at his face, she nearly screamed at the sight.

It wasn't that he was ugly but the dead of his eyes made her feel as though she was about to be raped by Satin. Her body began shaking violently and he smiled. "That's better, that's what I want. You should be afraid of me. You know why?" She turned her face so she wouldn't have to look at him and that was when she noticed her phone. She had to find a way to get her phone. He had her hands pinned above her head. She had to find a way, then it came to her and she smiled.

"What the fuck are you smiling at? Your about to be fuck until you bleed then I'm gonna fuck you some more." He spat out and emphasized his intentions by smashing his cock into her most tender spot and digging it in making her clit feel as if it were being torn from her body. She closed her eyes tight and slammed her forehead as hard as she could into his nose. She heard the loud distinctive crunch.

He yelled out and instinctively grabbed his nose with both hands. She bucked up and it forced him off his balance sending him over the edge of the bed. She scrambled to the other side of the bed and grabbed her phone as she took off out of the bedroom.

"You fucking cunt!" He bellowed, "I'm gonna fucking kill you and eat your fucking slut heart when I'm done!" She ran down the hall. She could hear him closing in on her and knew she wouldn't have enough time to unlock her door so she ran to the spare room and lock that door and yanked the sock out of her mouth. She flipped open her phone and typed 911H then hit send.

The door was smashed open and he came in with such fury in his eyes that Aqua froze. When she snapped out of it and tried to run it was too late, he caught her by the hair. "You fucking bitch!" Spittle flew from his mouth.

She instinctively grabbed her hair to keep him from pulling it completely out by the roots. "Why are you doing this to me, what do you want! Why were you watching me!"

"Shut the fuck up you little whore!" He back handed her so hard her head snapped sideways and she saw black spots in front of her eyes. She kept her balance then he back handed her again on the other cheek. It felt as if her bones shattered in her face and she could feel her mouth and sides of her face swelling already. Her head started spinning and she blacked out.

She woke to him on top of her, her shorts were gone and before she could do anything he shoved his erection inside her and she screamed but no one heard because he had the sock back in her mouth. He yanked himself out and shoved back in. It felt like she was being shredded inside. He was huge and she was dry. He started pounding into her and she screamed and punched and clawed at him but she couldn't get him off of her.

His foul breath was coming in pants into her face and she was gagging on the smell. He kept pounding into her as he came close to his release he began to drool on her neck and chest. She gagged again her tears rolled from the corners of her eyes. Her punches slowed and her clawing stopped. She'd given up her fight and no one was coming to save her. Riku wouldn't make it in time. This disgusting foul man was going to be the last person she ever saw alive. She let her body go limp. Let him fuck a dead body. She decided that would be the last thing she could do for herself.
