Axel's House

Axel sighed and slowly laid back, putting his hands on his face.

Riku tugged back his wrist bands to reveal angry cuts criss crossing, frowning he slid the small knife from him pocket and Sliced holding his arm off the edge of the porch for a few moments before wrapping it and recovering his wrsit

Axel kept his position, attempting to hold back tears.

Riku flinched slightly and realized his cut was bleeding through and changed the wrap hoping the blood would stop, when it didnt He screamed and stood wobling down the stairs as the blood raced down his arm" AXEL" he screamed again falling to his knees struggling to stand bac up and feeling weak

Axel, hearing his name, got up quickly and ran to where he heard it from. "Riku, what the... okay, hold on, don't move..." He ran to the bathroom and grabbed gauze, peroxide, and a few washcloths, one of these wet, making quite a mess. He returned to Riku then. "Just relax now... we'll get this fixed..." Axel ripped some of the gauze off, poured peroxide on it, and grabbed Riku's wrist, pressing the cut tightly with the gauze.

Riku nodded slightly before passing out from blood loss"Thank-" he said as he passed out

Axel, keeping the gauze firmly on the cut, lifts Riku and takes him to the bedroom in the living room, setting him gently on the bed.

Riku's eyes fluttered but remained closed, whimpering in his sleep hoping axel didnt see the other cuts and scars on his wrists" im sorry Axel" he mumbled

Axel drew his finger lightly accross Riku's face, murmuring. "Don't apologize..."

Riku opened his eyes slowly and tried to sit up realizing he didnt have the strength" thank ou Axel, and im sorry" he said turning and looking at the wall..

Axel leaned down and kissed Riku's cheek. "Anytime you need me, I'm here for you."

Riku smled" would u mind sleeping with me tonight?" realizing what he said he blushed" i dont mean sleep with me i ment in the same bed, i mean to make sure i dont start bleeding again" he said Blushing Profusely

Axel laughed quietly. "No, I don't mind. I might have done it anyway."

Riku looked at him " Axel i have to admit something to you before i lose my nerve, i know u may see me as an idiot now but I have Fallen in love with you" he said looking down waiting for the rejection

Axel smiled warmly. "You know, I think I've fallen in love with you as well..."

Riku looked up at him startled searching axel's eyes to be sure he wasnt messing with him' really?" he asked not looking away

Axel nods, kissing Riku softly on the nose. "Really."

Riku smiled and tried to sit up again and after a few moments managed it and leaned against the headboard" sorry u had to clean up my mess" he said slightly embarassed

Axel frowned. "I don't mind it, but maybe you could try talking it out next time..?"

Riku frowned" i cut when i think about Sora, and about how stupid i was for not realizing he used me "

Axel sighed. "Do you wanna talk about it..?"

Riku looked at him " u shouldnt have to deal with my baggage"

Axel moved a little closer. "I want to though."

Riku smiled " he got with me to get to Xestal, my little sister, who he then convinced to run off with him I miss her soo much but i dont think ill ever see her again" he said scooting slowly towards Axel and resting his head on Axel chest he sighed slightly

Axel wrapped his arms protectively around Riku and rested his chin on his head. "I'm sorry... I'm sure she'll be back though."
