Accidental Infatuation

Chapter Twenty Nine

I am in complete and utter shock at this turn of events.
Things just sort of go blurry in my vision as I try and comprehend exactly what has happened in here in the last fifteen minutes or so. I can't seem to tear my eyes away from the blond man that is kneeling in front of my boyfriend, continuing to shine that small light into Riku's eyes.
I can't believe that this man is the one that I have been attempting to find for the last little while. He doesn't really strike me instantly of someone who might be Sephiroth's lover. The man has close cropped pale blond hair that continues down into a goatee, framing a strong chin. He's shorter than both Sephiroth and Dr. Vexen, and his most noticeable feature is a set of deep blue eyes that almost glow on his face. I continue to give him a once over, seeing that the curl of his ear is pierced several times, balls and hoops decorating the flesh. He looks like he might be in his early thirties, which would make him older than Sephiroth, but looks can be deceiving. And this man looks like he can be very deceiving.
The biggest thing that I notice though is that there is little, if any, interaction between Sephiroth and this man, something that surprises me and at the same time, I sort of expected it. I don't think I could ever see Sephiroth being an affectionate man, at least not to the public. And if Luxord is a neurologist, it might explain as to why no one ever expected or noticed a relationship between them. Here at the clinic, you probably would need a neurologist around fairly often, so they would see each other plenty. It might also answer where Sephiroth has been staying since he was put on leave. He easily could have gone to stay with him if they really are together.
Then again, all of this is just me jumping to conclusions. There is no proof other than the fact that I think that this is the man that I overheard talking on the phone and called Sephiroth 'Lover'. How do I know that he meant it in such an intimate way? Maybe Luxord uses the term in a very casual way for a lot of people. After all, it might have been said in a very different context than what I thought I heard. Maybe it is just a complete coincidence that Sephiroth and Luxord were both in Dr. Vexen's office when I called despite the fact that my boyfriend's brother has been temporarily banned from the property.
As these thoughts are starting to overwhelm me, and combining that with the fact that my boyfriend's face is still a mask of pain, I begin to lose the tenuous grip I have on my composure. I begin to struggle against Dr. Vexen's hand on my shoulder, trying to move closer to my boyfriend. I feel a deeper panic rushing through my veins and desperation to show Riku that I am still here for him.
"Sora, you've got to settle down," Dr. Vexen says as he attempts to restrain me, not actually that difficult a task as I find myself unable to move any closer.
"Riku," I whimper pathetically, reaching out until my fingers grace the back of my boyfriend's hand that rested on the couch cushion. I restrain the gasp that tries to escape me at the touch. His skin is now clammy and cold to the touch, so different from only few minutes ago. That sensation is enough to cause my own breaths to shorten substantially, coming hard and rapid as the tears flow freely from my eyes. I can feel the sobs coming on as well as I desperately hold onto his limps fingers. It has been so long since that day in the pool, but I know that the headache that time lasted nowhere near as long as this once has. With each passing second, the hope that absolutely nothing is wrong is floating away. Now I can only hope that it is nothing too serious.
"Vexen, if you can't restrain your patient properly, you're going to have to remove him," the neurologist growls as he attempts to remove Riku's hand from mine to place a heartbeat monitor onto one of his fingers. Although I can see Sephiroth trying to find a vein in my boyfriend's other arm for a syringe full of what I hope is painkiller, I refuse to let go of Riku's hand, squeezing it tightly. My mouth however does not seem to want to cooperate and I am unable to for any words to tell Luxord that I don't want to let go. I let out a whimper, hoping that the blond doctor won't listen to the other man and kick me out, but my salvation comes from the last expected source.
"No. Sora can stay. Let him be." The words are as monotonous as ever, but there is no mistaking that Sephiroth is the one who says them.
Luxord just huffs a little, as if knowing that no matter who is in charge, when Sephiroth says something, he leaves no room for argument.
Wait, does that mean that Riku's brother is on our side?
I sit still, my brain on overload with panic, worry, concern and emotion as the tears continue to flow freely as the three doctors begin to ignore me, instead focusing all of their energy to examining Riku and making notes and taking his vitals on Dr. Vexen's ever present cupboard. My breathing is slowly starting to even out as I watch the look on my boyfriend's face ease bit by bit as what I assume is the drugs are starting to kick in.
I sigh out in relief even more when I feel a tentative squeeze on my hand. Oh my god, I have never been through such a terrifying ordeal before. Well, at least not one that I had been conscious through it all. Everyone in the room is quiet as we wait for more of a reaction from Riku. Each passing minute is torture as the silence is almost palpable as we just wait. I don't even want to look over to see how Sephiroth and Luxord are interacting. Maybe I can just talk to Riku about it when he's doing better…
When Riku's face finally slacks into a more relaxed expression, the rest of us let out a collective sigh of relief. To my surprise, Dr. Vexen stops trying to hold me back and I take the opportunity to shift over even the slightest bit closer to my boyfriend. "Riku?" I whisper tentatively.
It's a tense moment as we all wait for a response from my boyfriend. I barely notice when Luxord stands up and steps back to stand next to Sephiroth. Normally I would take this opportunity to observe any interaction that might occur between them, but right now, my full attention is on Riku. Slowly, I let out a sigh of relief as the pain begins to evaporate from his face, the lines going slack before sightless aqua eyes open. The normally bright eyes are still clouded with pain as they dart around wildly. I can hardly imagine what he is going through right now, but all I can do is offer all the support I can manage.
My heart fills with warmth as I feel his hand squeeze even tighter that before around mine as he finally speaks. "Sora?" he whispers.
"I'm right here," I answer, reaching one hand up to wipe away a tear from the corner of his eye, a light laugh escaping me when I realize that, at least for the moment, he's alright and will be okay. It takes less than a second before his hand is up around mine on his face and I am pulled close to him and I instantly find myself in his arms and held tightly.
I raise my own shaky arms up to wrap around my boyfriend and I can't help the few continued tears that fall from my eyes as I take comfort in his hold, knowing that this attack is over. As I feel him pull my head to his shoulder, I sense that there are three sets of bearing into us and just watching the moment that is transpiring between my boyfriend and me. Through the relief though, I can notice something a little different in the hold that I'm wrapped in. "Riku?" I whisper softly into his ear.
"Who is here with my brother?" His words are so quite that I can barely hear them, and I realize that it is because he doesn't want to be overheard.
Before I get a chance to answer, a voice comes from behind us. "I hate to break up this little love fest boys, but I'm going to need to do a few more tests before you get any cosier." The British accented voice breaks through us and I easily feel Riku tensing in my arms. There is something in that motion of Riku's that makes me question eve more about the nature of Luxord and Sephiroth's relationship and how much Riku already knows.
"Come, Sora," the sound of my name causes me to shift my gaze away from my boyfriend to the long haired doctor standing beside me, his hands on the hands on the handles of my wheelchair. "I think that it's best that you and I leave and allow Riku have an examination."
I'm not given any choice as I am pulled away from Riku and lifted into my chair before I can even argue. "But…" is all I can manage to say, the memories of the day Riku came into the cafeteria after being beaten to a pulp by the man that is standing right in front of him.
Once again my hand is taken into my boyfriend's and given a quick squeeze. "It's alright," I hear him say, all sorts of hidden meanings in his words. "I'll be fine, and I promise to come and find you as soon as I'm done."
I pause, completely aware that there are three people all standing right behind us and watching our every move. "Okay. I'll be waiting right outside in the hallways for you. I…" I catch myself, wondering if it is a good idea to profess my feelings in front of his older brother.
"Love you," he says firmly with a smile in my direction.
"Love you too," I whisper with a blush, returning the smile. I don't argue any more as Dr. Vexen ushers me out of the apartment, and into the hallway outside. I tell Dr. Vexen that I have no intention of moving from here in the hallway across from the door until I see Riku come out. He just nods and continues down the hall on his way to wherever, leaving me to my thoughts.
My mind instantly returns to what exactly Sephiroth was actually doing here. Was he really here to check up on Riku? Or did he come here just with Luxord? Then I have to think of how my boyfriend is going to react to his brother being here, especially after all they have been through lately. I know from the few talks we've had on the subject, Riku himself isn't sure how to react where his brother is concerned. He has told me that he has missed his brother in some ways for the past several weeks, but at the same time it was nice to have a break from him. Personally, I think that Riku cares about his brother more than even he realizes.
As for Sephiroth, it really does seem that he has been worried about Riku, or that's what I can assume from the look of sheer panic that flashed briefly across the older man's face as he entered into the apartment only moments ago. I couldn't care less about the fact that he saw Riku and I in a position like that when he barged in. It's something that Riku and I have talked about. We're through hiding our relationship, especially from Sephiroth. We have nothing to be ashamed of, and if Sephiroth doesn't like it, well…tough cookies. The thought of Sephiroth and Luxord possibly being lovers is another one of the thoughts that is racing through my head. If I don't get the answers that I'm looking for soon, I think my head might just explode with curiosity and frustration. The curiosity just because I want to know, and the frustration because if Sephiroth has a male lover, why the hell did he attack Riku so severely the day after finding out about our relationship? Doesn't that make him a hypocrite?
I can't help the sigh that escapes me as I continue to wait, not out of impatience, but out of worry. I can't hear anything coming from the apartment, and I think that this silence frightens me more than I had been able to hear shouting and screaming. At least if some sort of noise was coming from behind the closed door, I would at least have an inkling of what was going on in there. As it stands, the only sound in the hallway is my occasional sigh, and probably my heartbeat. I know that my heart is beating hard enough that you probably could hear it loud and clear from halfway across the clinic.
Before my thoughts can decide on another path to travel down, the apartment door is pushing open and for only a moment, I hold my breath, praying that it is Riku coming out and not Sephiroth and Luxord. No matter what else happens, Sephiroth is still a scary bastard and I prefer not to be left alone with him. I exhale deeply in relief as I watch my boyfriend exit the room, coming into the hallway with a look of complete indifference on his face and his cane extended in front of him. Well, at least I can take it as a good sign that he has emerged with no signs of another altercation between them. Well, at least not a physical altercation that I can tell of.
"Riku?" I whisper timidly, not sure if he really wants me there or if he wants to be alone right now.
He turns to face me at the sound of my voice and I finally see a small smile playing on the corner of his mouth. A sigh of relief passes through his lips and it passes on to me as I hold my arms out for him and it takes no time what so ever before he is across the hall and my arms are wrapped tightly around him, and he returns the gesture. I really was frightened for him, being alone in there with his brother, and the relief is just flooding into my entire body.
"How are you feeling?" I whisper, one hand travelling up to tangle in his long silver hair as I hold him close.
"Better. A little tired, but better," he says, placing a kiss on my temple. "Let's go somewhere else."
I don't get a chance to answer before Riku pulls away from me and gets behind my wheelchair and starts pushing. Instantly I can tell that there is something a little off in his movements, but I assume that he wants to get a little further away from his apartment before talking about it. We travel the corridors in complete silence as we both have various thoughts weighing on our minds. I am still unsure about what to do about my suspicions about Sephiroth and Luxord. Do I ask Riku if he has ever noticed anything going on between them? Or do I keep quiet and wait for Demyx to come back to me with what he learns from Zexion? I could also just outright tell Riku what I have witnessed and see what his reaction is. When did it ever become so complicated to deal with something as insignificant as this?
I still don't speak at all, even when Riku pushes us out into what is probably going to be the last warm rain of the year. Still not wanting to say anything in fear of breaking his concentration, I allow myself to be pushed into the garden, but instead of heading towards our typical knoll grass, I find myself entering into the fountain court, the stone benches creating a circle around a large marble statue of some ancient deity of recovery and health or something like that. The rain water and the water pouring out of the top of the fountain begins soaking both Riku and I in only minutes. Riku parks me in front of one of the benches before taking a seat on it, facing me with his head hanging. I continue to remain silent, knowing that Riku will speak up when he is ready. That's the biggest thing that I have learned about myself while I have been here. I have extreme patience when I want and that's something that I would never have guessed.
It takes several long minutes of us just sitting in the rain, the only sound can be heard is that of the sound of the rain splattering against the concrete around us and on our skin before my boyfriend finally raises his head, sightless eyes staring into me and I swear that there is a light ring of red surrounding those stunning aquamarine irises. "Sorry about dragging you out into the rain," he whispers.
I shake my head, feeling the water droplets flinging from my hair. "It's alright, Riku," I answer, reaching forward and taking one of his hands into my own. He gives it a soft squeeze and it makes me smile gently.
"I'm really sorry about interrupting everything back there too," I can hear a slight waiver in his voice and I can't figure out why.
I just chuckle a little at that point. "It's not like you could have helped it," I smile gently. "Are you really feeling better now?" I ask again, hoping that the answer he gave me earlier was truthful and he isn't trying to hide something from me.
One corner of his mouth turns up into a small smile. "Trust me Sor. I'm feeling a lot better than I was there. They gave me a low dose of morphine, so I'll be feeling pretty good for a little while," he chuckles.
I take in a deep breath, preparing myself for a question that I'm dreading. "What else did Sephiroth have to say?" I figure that this is a good way to phrase the question in case he wants to avoid it if he wants to.
"Fucking bastard. He just acted like nothing happened between us and thinks that I should go in for a couple of CT scans and that he'll get to the bottom of all this." There is a little bit of resentment and contempt in my boyfriend's voice, but at the same time, there is definitely some relief there too.
"Does this mean that he is coming back to stay?" As I continue to ask my questions, I begin to rub my thumb over the back of his hand, still hoping that I'm not treading on thin ice.
Riku just nods. "Apparently he has been in contact with Dr. Vexen since he first left about these stupid migraines I've been having and he was here to get some of the information about them and talk to Dr. Vexen about getting reinstated. Why couldn't they tell me about all of this?" I know that the question isn't meant for me, so I just allow it to hang in the air for now. But something else strikes me.
"Why was a neurologist here?"
Riku snorts and it confuses me a little. "That's Luxord. I can still smell the stale gin on him. He's the contracted neurologist here. I never have really liked him."
Cocking my head to the side, my curiosity is getting the best of me and I worry slightly about where this conversation is going. "Why don't you like him?" I really wish that my brain would just shut up now, because sooner or later, my words will probably set my boyfriend off.
"Because Luxord is the reason why my brother is a fucking hypocrite!" Riku growls angrily, but I know that none of the anger is directed for me.
"What do you mean?" I whisper after a long silence. When he doesn't expand on his comment, there is just something that tells me that if talks this entire thing out, it will be good for him. I don't know how or where this feeling has come from, but something about it just feels right.
Sighing loudly in frustration, Riku reaches his free hand up to run through his wet silver hair, pushing it out of his face. "Sephiroth is a fucking hypocrite. He beats me to a bloody pulp because he finds out about our relationship when he's been in a relationship with the same guy for four years! He has no right to be upset about you and I being together!"
My eyes go wide despite the water that continues to trickle down into them. Were all of my suspicions right? But if they were, why has no one else known about it when I ask them about it, especially Demyx? Wouldn't he of all people here know? "Together?" is the only word that my over shocked brain manages to squeak out.
Another snort escapes my boyfriend as he nods, squeezing my hand tightly in his once again. "Yeah, my brother is sleeping with that gin soaked neurologist." I can easily hear the resentment in Riku's voice, and honestly it doesn't surprise me. "Thing is though, neither one of them actually have the balls to actually say anything to me to come clean about their relationship! Just because I'm blind doesn't mean that I don't pick up on things like that."
"So they have never actually said that they are together?"
"No, but I've walked in on them before and they have both tried to pass it off as something innocent. I'm blind, not stupid. I mean, come on. I have extra sensitive hearing. Do they think I don't hear them down the hall? And the fact that Luxord comes over to our apartment at least once a week discussing 'medical texts' and Sephiroth goes over to his place more than enough. It makes anyone suspicious. I just wish that he would fucking tell me at least! Is he trying to hide something else from me? And why did he freak out when he found that we are together? Is it that bad that both he and I turned out to gay? I'm just so frustrated," his voice trails off as his entire body slumps forward slightly. I hear the exhaustion that is lacing his voice, the combination of the added stress of Sephiroth's return and the migraine that had passed less than an hour ago definitely taking its toll on Riku.
Quickly I push my chair closer to his seated position, taking him into my arms, comforting him in the only way I know how. I press one hand to the back of his head, pushing gently until his head is resting against my shoulder. As soon as I feel the warm skin of my boyfriend's cheek touch the side of my neck, I predictably feel the first of many sobs racking his body. Crap, how long has he been holding all of this in for? Probably for four years. After all, it doesn't seem like anyone else has any idea about this.
"Riku," I whisper into his hair and rubbing his back as allow him to cry freely on my shoulder, all of his pent up frustration and anger falling onto my shoulder or being washed away by the still pouring rain.
We sit like that for a long time, the water falling and plastering our hair and clothes to our skin until I finally hear a soft hitch in my boyfriend's breaths. He quickly pulls back, his hands untangling from mine and going up to wipe at the remaining tears, though the action is pointless with the still falling rain. "I'm sorry," he mutters, catching my attention.
"Why?" I question, pushing my limp brown spikes out of my face.
He lets out an airy huff. "For tossing all of my emotional baggage on you like this, for ruining our quiet afternoon together, for being so fucked up in general."
I sigh lightly. "I never knew you were so tortured," I smile, hoping to cut the tension at least a little.
"You know what I mean," he replies with a light laugh of his own, the sound like music to my ears.
"Well then we really are the perfect couple then," I smile, taking his hands into my own again, squeezing them tightly.
"What do you mean?" this time it is Riku's turn to sound confused I can't help but notice just how cute he is when he is confused like this.
I let out a single chuckle. "I have an irrational fear of girls, Riku, from something that happened almost twelve years ago. Not to mention that I can tell you that I'm feeling slightly nauseous because I sense that my twin brother is having sex right now. And that's really just the tip of the iceberg. I think that we both have our fair share of issues, Riku. All we can do is work through them together."
Riku is quiet for a long time, and it surprises me when I see him look up, it's with a soft smile. "Together, huh? Think you can deal with all my shit? Am I worth it?"
"Of course you are," I say, returning the smile. "Am I worth all mine?"
Riku doesn't answer my question. He doesn't need to. All he does is leans in towards me, capturing me into a deep kiss. I think that everything might turn our alright for us.

Expect the next chapter a heck of a lot faster than this one was. Once again, so sorry it took me so long to update on here, but with life being stressful, the last thing I wanted was to have to deal with stupid script errors every time I tried to do anything on here. Hopefully it was worth the wait! Until next time!
