In My Eyes

Author's note: Hiya! 'Tis Alex. So Ren and I have been pretty good so far getting out a chapter a day, which was our goal, but I don't know if we'll be able to keep that up. I think it's mostly because I've felt like crap and haven't really been up to doing much else other than writing. ^^; I'm still not feeling well, so you all may be getting chapter 4 tomorrow.

I'd really like to thank you all for great reviews, those of you who have left them, and ultra special warm cuddly thanks to Micky, who left the most amazing review I've ever received. :3 Anyway, enjoy the story!

Chapter 3.

    Axel and Roxas were quite content with playing video games in Roxas's room. It was one of their favorite pastimes besides sex. So when Riku and Sora came to join them, Axel was more than a little irritated.
    "So how have you two little losers been getting along?" Axel asked bitterly, not getting up from his upside down position. Roxas glared and flat out told Axel to shut up, which the redhead outright ignored.
    With a sneer, Riku flatly replied, "Alright," knowing Axel was trying to piss him off--as per usual.
    "Well, if you ever have time away from playing house with little Sora, maybe you would like to do something manly for once," Axel said, a devilish grin splitting across his lips.
    "Axel, stop it," Roxas snapped.
    Keeping his calm, Riku flipped his silver hair over his shoulder back and spat, “Why are you trying to challenge me to another fight or contest that you are just going to lose?”
    "Riku...don't..." Sora whined.
    "How do you know I'll lose, pansy boy?"
    "Axel!"
    "Because you always do."
    "Riku!"
    That was it. Axel threw the game controller aside and scrambled to his feet.
    "Those times were flukes! I'll fucking pound your pretty little face into the ground next chance I get!"
    Riku chuckled at this point.
    "Look, if 'pounding my pretty little face into the ground' will make you feel better and prove how 'manly’ you are, then let's go. I'm happy to help a failure in need."
    This time the twins shouted in unison, "RIKU!"
    "You little fucker, I’m going to kick your pansy ass for that!" Axel snarled, lunging for the silver haired boy. Of course, Riku was so used to this by now he had all but memorized Axel's fighting moves. He dodged to the left and swung his left leg up to deliver a kick to Axel's stomach. The redhead faltered but turned and tackled the other male to the ground.
    Now that was unexpected.
    The next few moments were simply a mess of punching, kicking, hair pulling, swearing, sobbing from Sora, more swearing from Roxas, and a broken lamp.
    After a few minutes, Sora was pulling a bleeding Riku from the room, while Roxas cradled Axel in his lap, nursing the boy's bleeding nose with a wad of tissue.
    "You really need to stop picking on him, Axel. You might not come out so fortunately next time," Roxas said quietly, pulling the tissue back to see if the bleeding had stopped yet; thankfully, it had.
    Axel groaned and shut his eyes tight, bearing against the pain in his aching body.
    "Damn it all...I can't help it! He just gets on my fucking nerves with that pompous attitude of his! UGH!" he growled then winced again; too much excitement too quickly.
    "Ow..." he whimpered, recoiling and wrapping his arms around Roxas's waist, hiding his face in his stomach.
    Roxas laughed at his boyfriend's expense and pet his unruly red hair.
    "It's your own damn fault, dude," he said, pulling Axel up for a light kiss. "You just need to lay off. He makes Sora happy, so I'm okay with him. Sora needs somebody, you know?" And after a mean look from Axel, he added, "And who's to say you're not pompous?"
    Axel pouted and pulled Roxas down this time for another kiss.
    "But I'm cute and playful...It's part of my roguish charm," he said with a sigh, shifting in Roxas's lap, relaxing and playing with the jutting tips of his blonde hair. "My cute little Roxas..." he smiled, gently.
    Roxas scrunched his nose. "You're kind of a jerk. Why do I even date you?"
    It was true. Axel was a jerk. He was the prank-playing kid, never showed up at school, had little to no common sense...but boy, was he great in bed. He could make parts of you feel good that you didn't even know you had.
    "Because I'm sexy and you love me something fierce," Axel grinned, propping himself up on his elbow with a wince and trailing his fingers down Roxas's chest, stopping just above the blonde's belt before he pressed his palm against the front of his lover's pants.
    "And you love when I love you something fierce," he purred, seductively, massaging Roxas's clothed cock gently.
    Roxas's eyes fluttered shut and he bit his lip, leaning back on his hands as he felt himself begin to harden.
    "God, Axel, you're such an ass," he said, putting his hand over Axel's and opening his eyes to look into Axel's.
    Axel grinned. "You love my ass," he teased playfully, continuing to stroke Roxas slowly.
    "You're going to heal a little more before you get any sex, okay? That's your punishment for fighting. Now if you'd kindly move your devilish hand..."
    "No sex…? But, really, Roxas...what will you do about this without me?" he asked with a pout. "You know you need me to touch you right there to make it good," he said with a wink, demonstrating by leaning up and biting down on one of the more sensitive parts of Roxas’s neck.
    Roxas tilted his head back. Axel moved to a more suitable position, sitting in front of Roxas more securely.
    "Well--fine, but just a quickie, alright? I need to go check if Sora and Riku are alright," he said, reaching down to Axel's pants and undoing the button, pulling the zipper down slowly.
    The red head grinned again. He loved when he won, which was always. Another reason why he loved his Roxas so much. He began to unfasten Roxas's pants as well, moving fast. He always was a little bit more excited to get to the point than his lover was.
    Roxas pulled Axel's pants down and leaned down to engulf Axel's half-erect cock into his mouth. He sucked until he felt it hardening against his tongue. He looked up at Axel and scraped his teeth against the side of his cock, loving the feel of Axel shivering around him.
    "You're such a horn dog, Ax," he said as he lifted his lips from Axel's crotch. He wiped his mouth on the back of his hand.
    Axel pushed Roxas’s pants and plain white boxers off of him and lifted the younger male into his lap. With a fierce kiss and no preparation, he lowered Roxas down onto his cock, and the younger boy buried his face in Axel’s shoulder.
    “God fucking damn it, Axel, that fucking hurts, give me a fucking second!” Roxas growled, steadying his knees around Axel’s hips and breathing deeply. Axel snickered and gripped Roxas’s ass, squeezing lightly, ignoring Roxas’s profanity.
    When he was ready, Roxas began pushing himself up and then back down onto Axel’s cock gradually, and Axel responded appropriately by pushing his hips up to meet him. Roxas looked up at him with a fiery passion and kissed him harshly, plunging his tongue into Axel’s mouth for a heated battle between the twin organs, in a rhythm that matched their thrusting hips.
    “Rox…Rox, I’m gonna cum…” Axel panted out against Roxas’s lips, pushing himself into the smaller boy faster. Roxas nodded against Axel’s shoulder and began pushing onto Axel’s cock with more force, listening to the low grunt that the redhead emitted.
    Soon, almost as soon as Axel felt Roxas finish, the clenching muscles around his cock pulled him over the line as well. They collapsed in a heap on the floor, panting and sweating.
    “I’m going to have to borrow some of your clothes…” Axel said absentmindedly, running his fingers through Roxas’s damp hair. The blonde boy closed his eyes.
    “Whatever.”

    Demyx was becoming more aware of what was happening as time went on. A chin and a ceiling were in his line of vision. He knew he'd have to be heading home soon, but...he didn't want to. 'Swim Practice' was far more satisfying.
    Xigbar, who had the student's head in his lap, was wondering through his foggy mind if Luxord had ever confessed his sexual repression to the kid...what was his name...Zexion?
    And as if on cue, said blonde man walked into his house. Xigbar watched with amusement: Luxord coughed, pinched his nose between his thumb and forefinger, then waved his hand in front of his face to clear some of the smell. He left the door open and turned on the ceiling fan so that the smoke would dissipate faster.
    Demyx laughed lightly in his lap. "What's goin' on, teach?"
    "Oh not much, kid, not much at all...Compared to you anyway," Luxord muttered, shaking his head and smacking Xigbar in his own every time he passed by, looking for any sort of air freshener spray.
    Xigbar grinned and stretched, ignoring Luxord's brutal assault by light smacks to his head. He pushed Demyx into a sitting position.
    "Really, Xigbar! Where is your common sense?! Taking a student to your house to smoke pot!" Luxord sighed, choosing this moment to ignore the fact that he had just taken sweet little Zexion to his house to sex him up. That's wasn't the point right now. Really.
    "He does have a point, kid, you'd best be getting home," Xigbar said with a yawn. He stood up, tossing a can of air freshener to Luxord.
    Demyx stood up as well, moving to the door. He covered his mouth with his hand and coughed and used his other to wave to the two teachers.
    "See you at school," he said and grabbed his backpack from next to the door and walked home; conveniently, he lived quite close.
    Xigbar turned to Luxord. "What'd you stop by for?"
Luxord sighed and sprayed around the room so thoroughly even he began to cough from the flowery fumes.
    "I uh...I had come to offer we go for a drink. Invite some friends and have some fun." Luxord muttered, sitting down next to his co-worker and, sadly, friend.
    Xigbar grinned at him.
    "Why don't we go, then? I'm pretty sobered up by now," he said, slinging his arm around his friend. "Who do you want to come with us? I hear Squall's available since that guy dumped him."
    "Cloud? Really?" Luxord asked, looking quite stunned. Then he paused to think about it. "Well...I suppose two somber people don't really make a happy relationship," he mused aloud, mostly talking to himself.
    "So with that said; if an average happy person and an 'emo', if you will, were to pair up, would it even out...?"
    Tilting his head to the side, Xigbar stared at the wall.
    "Hm...yes, I suppose. Because that happy dude could make that emo one better, y'know? It could work," he said, nodding his head as to affirm it. He looked at Luxord curiously. "Why?"
    Suddenly, Luxord realized what he had just been referring to and started to laugh as a nervous reaction.
    "Ah! No reason! Just thinking about who to hook Leon up with," he grinned, getting up and fiddling with one of his piercings. "So you wanna go? Let's go."
    Xigbar nodded and stood, pulling on his shoes.
    "So that kid, Demyx..." Xigbar laughed to himself. "He's a trip. How'd your tutoring session go?"
    "A trip, eh?" Luxord snorted. "Did you enjoy him?" he teased, slicking his hair back and grinning. "Who's the pedophile now?" he laughed, making a point to avoid talking about his tutoring session.
    Xigbar got into the passenger side of Luxord's car and grinned over at the man.
    "You're avoiding my question, silly Brit," he teased. "But I haven't done it with the kid, either way."
    "I'm not avoiding anything, you druggie pedo-leech," Luxord grinned. "I take a right here, right? To get to Leon's?" he asked, glancing over at the other male, who nodded.
    "So...You gonna do it with him...?" he asked, curiously. It sure would be nice to get fired alongside someone.
    "His house is the one with the green shutters. But I don't know...unless the kid initiates something, I don't think I wanna mess with him," he said in all seriousness. "I'd totally get fired. I'm surprised I haven't been yet, really."
    Luxord laughed, semi-weakly. "Yeah, man, with all the shit you do." he grinned, shaking his head.
    Xigbar looked over at Luxord. "So dude, what's going on with you and that kid?"
    "Zexion? Nothing, man, he's uh...He's gonna get better. He's a smart kid. Real smart," he nodded, taking that right and looking around for a house with green shutters.
    Xigbar grinned.
    "You fucked him, didn't you," he said. It was more of a statement than a question.
    Luxord's forehead instantly met the steering wheel when Xigbar spoke so bluntly and with that awful grin of his. God damn Xigbar. God damn him straight to a drug-free Hell.
    "Figured...You needed to take your mind off of things..." Luxord muttered, his eye twitching slightly.
    So much for the Poker-Face Master.
    Once they reached Leon's house, Xigbar took out a cell phone and dialed the man's number, and it was answered in three rings.
    "Hello?" said a voice through the line.
    "Leon, come drinking with us," Xigbar said.
    "Oh...alright, sure," Leon said, hanging up. He joined the two teachers in Luxord's car within minutes.
    "Why the sudden invite?" he asked, fastening his seatbelt. Xigbar grinned at him and shrugged.
    “Figured you needed to get out of that house,” he said simply.
    Leon looked in the rearview mirror and frowned.
    "Is there something wrong, Luxord...?" he asked, noticing the obviously irritated look on the English teacher's face. Xigbar snorted and looked out the window.
    "Nope...just peachy, love," he grinned falsely, his eye still twitching. "So...where should we go...? Who else should we pick up...?" he asked, muttering darkly under his breath and casting glares at Xigbar every so often.
    Xigbar pointed at a close-by bar.
    "They have cheap booze," he said. "And I think Marluxia's free, if you want to pick him up."
    Leon sat back in the seat, staring out the window. He was about to suggest Cloud, but he thought better of it. They'd broken up for good enough reasons.
    Luxord nodded and pulled out his cell phone as they pulled into the parking lot. Yeah, Marluxia would be perfect. He could whore all over Leon and maybe cheer him up.
    Maybe.
    Leon seemed to like blondes.
    "Oy, Marly. We're at..." he looked around for a sign. "Aerith's Bar and Grill. Meet us there. And bring your good mood," he said with a grin before hanging up.
    Xigbar got out of the car.
    "I'll meet you guys inside," he said, scratching his side and walking into the bar.
    Leon unfastened his seatbelt but didn't make a move to get out.
    "Luxord...it's hard," he said quietly.
    Luxord blinked and look up at Leon through the rearview mirror.
    "What's hard, kid?" he asked, referring to Leon as kid considering the male was still a few years younger than him. He noticed the brunette's expression and was instantly concerned.
    "Cloud was everything to me," Leon said, meeting Luxord's eyes in the mirror. "It was like he had a silver lining. He was perfect."
    He sighed and shook his head.
    "I'm sorry if this seems really weird...but I knew you'd listen," Leon said with a small smile. "I'll be back at work tomorrow."
    Squall ‘Leon’ Leonheart was a security guard at the Twilight Town High. Due to a fight between Cloud and himself, he'd taken sick days and was brooding at home; a good bar outing would do him some good.
    Luxord smiled and nodded.
    "Don't worry about it, kid. I'm happy to listen," he said, turning around and reaching back to ruffle Leon's hair. "And kid, that silver lining? It was you," he said, his expression soft. "You were Cloud's silver lining and I'm sure he'll realize that soon enough...things...will get better, trust me.”
    Leon looked up at Luxord, a genuine smile on his face.
    "Thanks, Teach; I really needed that," he said. "And thanks for inviting me out today; I haven't been out of the house."
    He got out of the car as he saw a bubble-gum pink car pull up beside theirs. Marluxia had arrived.
    "No problem," Luxord grinned, closing the door behind him and looking to the pink car. "Marluxia! My dear!" he called out, throwing his arms open wide.
    "Luxord~!" the pink-haired man squealed in delight, rushing forward to fling himself into the Brit's open arms. He giggled and traced patterns on the teacher's strong chest.
    "Ooh~...Why haven't you called me sooner~...?" he purred, looking up at him with sultry eyes.
    "I'm afraid, my love, the world just isn't ready for us," the blonde laughed, patting the man on the back affectionately.
    Leon laughed and shook his head.
    "I'll see you two inside," he said.
    He took a seat next to Xigbar.
    "I haven't seen Marluxia in a while," he said, looking at the older man. Xigbar shook his head.
    "That guy's got issues," he explained. "And it's not sick season yet, so he's pretty much out of a job until then."
    "I see."
    Luxord and Marluxia soon joined them, a large obvious red mark shining proudly on the embarrassed-looking Brit's neck. Marluxia was all smiles and beamed proudly at the two dark haired men as they sat down in the booth.
    "Hey boys, how have you been?" Marluxia grinned, brushing his hair behind his ear.
    Xigbar smiled lopsidedly at him.
    "Not as good as you, apparently," he said. "It's been a while, Mar. How've you been?"
    Leon gave Luxord a grin, which the man returned with a scowl.
    Marluxia pouted and sighed wistfully.
    "I've just been ever so lonely. No one's called me at all since school started. And my contract doesn't start until October..." he whined with a huff of disappointment.
    Luxord called over a waiter to take their order for drinks.
    "That's too bad," Xigbar said. "We'll bring you out with us more often, then, to make you feel better." He looked up at the waiter and said, "I'll have the house mix on the rocks."
    "I'll take the strongest you've got," said Leon.
    "I'll have a Pink Panty Pull Down," Marluxia said with a bright grin, instantly cheery at the promise of alcohol. He gave a seductive wink to the waiter, who visibly shivered.
    "Just rum and coke, please," Luxord said with an apologetic smile to the waiter.
    Their drinks came, and everyone got down to business, talking about whatever came up.
    Leon was becoming happier each time his drink was refilled; he was downing his drink faster than he probably should have.
    Xigbar gave Luxord a pointed look.
    "Should we stop him?" he asked.
    "Well, we are giving him a ride home, so I think he should be ok..." Luxord said, looking to Marluxia, the professional.
    Marluxia promptly slammed his elbow into Luxord's side, glaring.
    "He is no ok! Stop him!" he demanded with a huff.
Luxord sighed and slid over to Leon, taking his current drink from him.
    "Come on, kid, I think you're done for the night..." he said gently.
    Leon turned his head and rested his forehead against Luxord's shoulder.
    "I really, really appreciate all this, Luzzord," he said, words slurring together.
    Xigbar snorted and nudged Marluxia.
    "Good call, dude, he can't even talk," he said.
    "I am a nurse," Marluxia nodded, taking another sip of his drink.
    Luxord sighed and put his arm around the younger male's shoulders.
    "It's fine, kid. You wanna head home? I'll drive you," he said, tilting Leon's chin up so he could get a good look at his face.
    Leon shook his head a little bit and looked up into Luxord's eyes, a passive look on his face, cheeks tinted pink.
    "Yer beautiful, Luzzord..." he mumbled with a hiccup.
    Xigbar raised his eyebrows.
    "Marluxia, what do we do?"
    Luxord blinked and cleared his throat, looking to the other two.
    "Go on, he's harmless," Marluxia nodded, sipping at his drink and looking around at other men, curiously.
    "Um...thank you, Leon. I think you're beautiful too," Luxord said slowly "Now...Are you sure you don't want to go home…?”
    Leon giggled drunkenly and reached his hands up to Luxord's hair.
    "I don't wanna go 'ome...Issa same color as Cloud's..." he said, blue eyes shining. "Luzzord, less go, juz you an' me, an'..." Leon took a deep breath. "Cloud wuz amazing when it comez to anatomy..." A drunken smile spread across his lips.
    He exhaled a breath and chuckled, shaking his head slightly.
    "Ooookay, definitely too much for you...come on, kid, let's take you home," he said, nudging Leon gently, to make him get out of the booth. "I'll put Leon to bed and come back later, guys," he said to the other two with an apologetic smile.
    "You better not come back knocked up," Marluxia pouted up at the blonde.
    Leon grabbed Luxord's hand and pulled him out of the bar. Once they were outside, he stumbled into Luxord's car and couldn't for the life of him figure out the seatbelt.
    He sent a lopsided grin to Luxord, "This iz romantic, Luzz..."
    Xigbar sipped his beer and looked at Marluxia. "So have you found anyone?"
    Luxord chuckled again and reached over to help Leon with his seatbelt.
    "Romantic, huh? If you say so, love,” he smiled, gently.
    Marluxia grinned up at Xigbar, wickedly, an evil little giggle escaping his lips.
    "Why Xigbar~! Are you making a pass at me?" he giggled.
    "Am I allowed tuh date you, Luzz...?" Leon sent him a pout.
    Xigbar grinned. "Take it how you want. But are you still into Luxord?"
    "Psh...Who wouldn't be...?" Marluxia sighed. "He's such a sweet guy..." he pouted, tracing his finger around the rim of his glass. "But I have no regrets," he nodded as if to affirm himself, "I'm glad Luxord cleaned up his life. He seems so much happier."
    A devious smirk found home on Xigbar's lips. He took another sip of his beer and said, "I take it you haven't heard about Luxord's little boy-toy, then. I'm surprised he hasn't told you, he tells you everything."
    Marluxia's attention was instantly caught, looking up at the other male with wide eyes.
    "Whaaaat?!" he shrieked. "What boy-toy? It better not be Leon!" he snapped, glaring at the dark-haired man.
    Xigbar leaned back into the cushioned booth.
"It's one of his students," he explained with a grin on his face. "The kid's the dark, broody type and he was doing real bad in his class. So, Luxord offered tutoring, and the kid took it, and...well, I'm pretty sure he fucked him."
    "Ah!" Marluxia exclaimed, looking almost insulted. "How scandalous!" he shrieked, slamming his hands down onto the table. "So he's going to pick some underage slut over me who's been waiting over 2 years for him to come back?!"
    Xigbar laughed and set his mug down on the table.
    "There's some good drama," he said. "This is like a soap opera."
    "Oh you're damn right there's going to be some drama!" Marluxia huffed, chugging down his drink and ordering something stronger this time. "I will not stand for this!"
    Xigbar put his arm around Marluxia's shoulders.
    "C'mon now, don't be like that. Maybe being a pedophile will show him how much you really mean to him."
    Marluxia pouted but leaned into the embrace nonetheless.
    "You better be right, Xigbar..." he sighed, sadly.

[~~~~~]

    "Ah...we'll talk about it in the morning, Leon..." Luxord said, still smiling sweetly, reaching over to smooth out Leon's ruffled hair. "For now, let's concentrate on getting you home safe," he nodded, pulling out of the lot. Leon was surprisingly quiet the whole way home.
    Luxord held back a sneeze as he helped Leon into his house, trying to ignore the pair of lips attached to his neck. Someone must be talking about me, he mused, shifting to try and push Leon away without hurting the boy's feelings. Really now...Three in one day..? What's wrong with me? He sighed, helping the brunette to his room.
    Leon clung to Luxord like no other.
    "Pleeease Luzzord..." he whined, biting his lip.
    Leon didn't normally get drunk off his ass. People always told him he was embarrassing to be around.
    Luxord sighed and forced Leon to sit down on the bed.
    "Come on, Leon...I don't want you to do something you'll regret in the morning. Now, unless you can honestly tell me you won't regret this tomorrow when you have the worst hangover of your life, I want you to go to bed. Okay? Now tell me that if you can," he said, still speaking gently as he helped Leon get out of his clothes.
    Leon tried as hard as he could to get a kiss but Luxord pushed him away, as nicely as possible.
    "I dunno whut you said..." Leon whined quietly, wiggling out of his pants. "Yer all I got left, Luzzord..."
    Hearing this struck a cord in Luxord's heart. He sighed and helped Leon into his bed.
    "Listen...If I give you a kiss and promise not to leave...will you go to sleep...?" he asked, stroking his brunette's hair, showing deep affection for his young friend.
    Leon put his hands on either side of Luxord's face.
    “Yessir...kiss me, then," he said, leaning forward to claim Luxord's lips with his own.
    Luxord was a bit stunned at the forcefulness but fulfilled his promise all the same. He leaned forward into the kiss, so Leon's back was to the bed, leaning over the brunette as he kissed him. It became a bit more passionate than he had originally intended but still quite enjoyable.
    Leon's eyes snapped open and he stared at Luxord for a good few moments before pushing him away. A pained expression crossed his face.
    "I'm so sorry, Luzzord...I shouldn't have...I'm jus'...upset about Cloud," he explained in a jumble.
    Luxord nodded, showing he understood and forgave his friend.
    "It's alright, kid...It's alright...I know what you're going through...now, just try to get some sleep..." he said, softly, pressing a kiss to Leon's forehead and bringing the blanket up to his shoulders.
    "G’night, kid," he smiled back at him as he left the room.

[~~~~~]

    Zexion walked into his house as quietly as he could. He slipped his shoes off and set his bag on top of them, walking into his living room. He heard a door shut ominously to his right and looked over to see his father with his hand on the doorknob, looking at him with a threat in his eyes.
    “Zexion, your mother told me you were at tutoring,” Zachary said in a monotone. Zexion let out a shaky breath and nodded.
    “I’m uh…I’m not doing so well in one of my classes…” he explained quietly. His hands were shaking, so he clasped them behind his back. Zexion found he couldn’t look away from his father’s gaze.
    “That’s unacceptable,” Zachary said, moving closer to Zexion, who didn’t—couldn’t—move a muscle.
    “I—I’m sorry, father,” Zexion’s eyes widened in fear and an instant later, he was on the floor, holding his hands over his face, blood dripping between his fingers.
    A strong hand on his collar brought him to his feet once more. Zexion turned his face away from Zachary.
    His eyes narrowed. “Zexion…what the fuck is on your neck? Is that a hickey?” he asked, voice low. Zexion drew a shaky breath, but kept silent.
    “Let me guess. You’re gay, aren’t you? And some male gave you this hickey?” Zachary’s voice had an underlying anger that chilled Zexion to the bone. He wasn’t about to lie to his dad.
    Bang!
    Zachary pinned Zexion against the wall, his large hand secure around Zexion’s neck, cutting off his air supply drastically. His other hand was painfully gripping a very intimate part of the young boy’s anatomy.
    “You like this, you sick little freak? This is what homos like, so you must like it!” He spat in his son’s face. “You not only lied to us about tutoring, but you’re a sick little fag too!”
    When he let Zexion drop, delivering a sharp kick to the boy’s side, he turned and didn’t look back. “Be cleaned up by dinnertime. You’re going to cook for your mother and I,” he said, walking out of the living room.
    Zexion pulled his knees to his chest, burying his face in his hands. His ribcage ached, he felt dirty, his nose was bleeding, and now the secret was out. Now his father would never leave him alone.
    He’d never tell Luxord, of course.

Author's note: I apologize if this chapter seems kind of choppy; it'll all come together later, I promise. ^^; :D Y'all know we love reviews!
