My Sun, My Moon, My Soul

`~`~`Roxas’ POV`~`~`

Roxas had stayed up the whole night.

Again.

After having another nightmare, he stayed awake the whole night. Thing is, he never felt tired if he didn’t sleep. Cloud had told him that he must’ve become an insomniac or something since he couldn’t sleep most of the time. And when he did sleep, he always had nightmares and had a hard time going back to sleep. Roxas preferred to stay awake than sleeping. He made breakfast this morning, scrambled eggs and bacon. Cloud ate his food in a hurry and left quickly to work. Sora ate his food up fast also and got ready for school. Roxas didn’t feel hungry. He just got ready for school.

“Are you okay to go to school Sora?” he asked his brother.

Sora nodded. “Yeah, I’ll be fine.”

Roxas wondered if he would be, while riding their bikes to school. He watched Sora go off with Pence, Olette, and Selphie. Hayner, Tidus, and Rikku/KuKu walked with him to his class.

“Hey! How’s your brother? Pence told me he freaked out bad yesterday…,” Rikku asked him.

“He’s fine, just a panic attack that’s all,” he replied.

“I hope he’s okay. Olette freaked out yesterday when he freaked! She said she didn’t know what to do, so she texted you,” he told him. Good, his implanted memory worked.

Tidus nodded his head in agreement. “Yeah, Selphie said she was scared for Sora. She said he just freaked out of nowhere!”

Roxas was getting annoyed. He knew they were just concerned about him and his brother, but he didn’t want to hear about their girlfriend’s reactions to Sora’s ‘panic attack.’ He saw Demyx walking toward them. “Hey Demyx!,” he called out.

Demyx walked with them. “Dudes and dudedette I just found out some major freaky news last night!”

“What?” Hayner asked him.

“My old man wants to take me back,” Demyx announced, his face sad.

Roxas was confused. “Huh? You don’t live with your parents or something?”

Demyx shook his head. “No, I live with my sister Larxene and her husband. After my parents divorced, my mom ran off with some guy and my dad said he didn’t want me. So Larxene took me. Now, he’s coming back saying he wants to raise me and that Larxene and Marluxia are doing a poor job of raising me.”

Hayner frowned. “What does he care? He’s the one who abandoned you! Larxene didn’t have to take you in, but she did even though she’s a newlywed! And Marluxia agreed with her! Most brother-in-laws don’t even like their wife’s siblings!”

“Yeah, I know. I hope my old man doesn’t do anything though. I’m afraid of him hurting Larxene…,” Demyx told them.

Rikku laughed. “It’s gonna be okay Demy! I’m sure your sister is gonna keep fighting for you no matter how many times your old man tries to break her!”

Roxas saw Demyx looking sad. His thoughts were mostly about his sister. Roxas knew how he felt. Being separated from a sibling and to never see them again…it would kill him if he was separated from Sora forever. His brother meant a lot to him. He knew Demyx felt that way about his sister.

They walked to class together, he saw Axel there already. Rikku left them for her class. Roxas changed into his clothes for gym, trying his best to not look at Axel or Axel’s body. He stiffened when he heard Seifer and Rai’s voices enter the locker room. He changed quickly and ran out to the track, hoping they didn’t see him.

“Hey Roxas!”

He jumped when he heard Axel’s voice calling out to him. Axel ran up to him. “Hey, Axel…” Great, as if I need this guy bothering me…

He ignored the way his heart fluttered when Axel smiled at him. “Why are you in such a rush? You just zoomed out of the locker room like someone was chasing you.”

Or maybe it was to avoid Seifer and to keep away from annoying boys like you…Roxas tried not to look scared, shrugging. “I’m just interested in what we’re doing today that’s all.”

He knew that Axel knew he was lying. “Riiiight! Is it because that fag Seifer walked in? Are you scared of him?”

“No! I just don’t wanna cause any trouble that’s all,” he told him. Now go away and leave me in peace…

Axel grinned. “Don’t worry; my brother is keeping an eye on him. Seifer won’t get him.”

“Riku’s keeping an eye on Sora? Why?” he asked.

Axel shrugged. “Not so sure myself. I told him just to make sure that Seifer doesn’t get near him, but not to watch his every movement!”

Roxas didn’t feel comfortable when he said that. Riku was watching Sora’s every movement? Axel wasn’t too bright about covering up. His annoyance could come in handy…Roxas contemplated about seducing Axel for information. He got annoyed easily with him, but Roxas knew that if he played his cards right, Axel would be putty in his hands. It was low and playing dirty, but he needed to find out what the Leonhart brother’s intentions were.

When the coach blew the whistle for them to line up for another hundred yard dash, Roxas looked over at Axel, who was at the end of the line. Axel was staring him, Roxas smiled sweetly at him, then winked. He saw Axel’s face turn red. Perfect…

`~`~`Zexion’s POV`~`~`

Zexion walked toward his art class. His brothers had left in the parking lot to go see their new obsessions no doubt. He wasn’t interested in going to his class, all he wanted to do was read his book.

As he was walking, he passed by the auditorium and heard music playing. He opened the door slowly, and saw Demyx playing the guitar. His heart skipped a few beats. Demyx wasn’t paying attention to anything around, just playing what came naturally to him. His eyes closed, like he was in his own little world and nothing could bother him. Zexion slowly walked up to him, not wanting to disturb Demyx. He sat down in front and just listened to him finish the song.

`~`~`Demyx’s POV`~`~`

Demyx finished playing the song that had been stuck in his head since this morning. He opened his eyes to see Zexion sitting in front of him. Dressed in a black t-shirt with Hollywood Undead on it, black cargo pants, and all black Vans. He’d never seen anything more beautiful in his life. Everyone is school thought Zexion was emo, but Demyx knew he was just a little anti-social and that he was really kind. At least to him.

Zexion gave him a small smile. “That was really good.”

“Thank you!” Demyx said. He knew he was blushing. “How did you know I was here?”

“I was walking by to get to my art class and I heard you. I figured I’d stop by,” he replied.

Demyx wanted to shout out in joy. He couldn’t believe Zexion heard him! His stomach felt like it had butterflies in it and his heart was pounding fast out of joy. “But don’t you have a class right now? Aren’t you late?”

“I honestly don’t care,” Zexion replied. “Art class is so boring to me. My most entertaining class is my office aide in the library. I love reading.”

“Yeah, all my classes are boring too. I don’t have a first period like everyone else so I just hang out here. My music class is really fun. Even though what the teacher tries to teach me is boring!,” Demyx said.

Zexion smiled. “Figures your favorite class would be music.” Both of them laughed.

“What book are you reading now?” Demyx asked.

Zexion held up his book, City of Glass by Cassandra Clare. “It’s a supernatural book. It’s really good.”

Demyx didn’t know what to say. “I don’t know much about books. The closest thing I get to a book is a manga!”

Zexion laughed at that. “I read manga too. My favorite is Jing: King of Bandits. And Yu Yu Hakusho.”

“Really? That’s my favorite too!” he told him. “I like Cowboy Bebop. Spike is so badass!” He glanced at his watch. “Oh shit! Next class is gonna start soon! I gotta get to the other side of school to get there.” He didn’t want to leave Zexion, but he had to get to class. He knew the school would call Larxene and then she’d get mad at him and yell at him on the phone. “Sorry, but I gotta go.”

Zexion nodded. “It’s okay. I better get to my next class too. I’ll see you at lunch.”

Demyx waved to him as he left. He couldn’t wait for lunch.

`~`~`Sora’s POV`~`~`

Sora sat in class, trying to ignore Riku staring at him from behind. Olette, Selphie, and Pence were sitting on the other side of the classroom. He was finished with his assignment, waiting for the bell to ring. Riku was staring him down every second. He wondered if his brother was serious about seducing Axel. His brother never played dirty, but it seemed Roxas was dying to know what the Leonhart brother’s intentions were. Sora just hoped that Roxas was careful. He didn’t want his brother getting into any trouble.

The bell finally rang, Sora left hoping that Riku didn’t follow him. Wrong.

Riku was walking right behind him. Sora was getting irritated and turned to face him. “Why do you keep following me!?”

Riku smiled. “I told you I’m watching you. You don’t think Seifer forgot about you did you?”

Sora wanted to slap him, which was really out of character for him. Roxas was usually the violent one and Sora the calm one, but Riku’s arrogance was making him consider it. “I don’t need a baby-sitter! I’m not a kid you know!”

Suddenly Riku grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards him. Riku wrapped his arms around him and whispered in his ear. “Stay quiet…” He backed Sora to the corner of the wall, blocking anyone from seeing him.

Sora was about to argue until he heard Seifer’s voice. “Hey Riku! Have you seen that Sora kid?”

He felt himself stiffen, thinking Riku would hand him over. Instead, Riku glared at Seifer. “No, but then again I wouldn’t tell you even if I did.”

Seifer snorted. “Yeah, whatever fag. Come on guys!” Sora and Riku watched them leave.

Sora let a sigh of relief. He had to admit, Riku had some nice arms. Riku was looking at him, hurt in his eyes. “Did you think I would turn you over to them?” He sounded hurt.

Sora shook his head. “No, I just…have a hard time trusting people. Life has taught me not to trust easily.”

“Sounds harsh,” Riku said. He bent his head down to look Sora straight in the eye. “But I would never hurt you Sora. I’d rather kill myself than see you hurt ever.”

Sora felt the heat rise in his face, then he got angry. “But why? You barely know me!” He smacked Riku’s chest.

His heart pounded even more when Riku grabbed his hand and pressed a kiss on his palm, smiling at him. “You’re right, I don’t know much about you. All I know is your name, where you live, you have a twin brother, you have panic attacks, and that for some odd reason you get silver streaks in your eyes.”

He felt the fear in his mind. Did Riku know about him? “H-How did y-y-you know a-about m-my…” He felt himself panicking again. Riku held him close. His head rested on Riku’s chest, listening to his heartbeat.

“It’s okay Sora. I’m sorry I frighten you. I honestly try my best not to, but I guess Axel is right. I just naturally scare people,” he told him. Sora looked up at him, Riku kissed his forehead. “I want to get to know you. You’re so secretive and I see hurt, fear, all kinds of emotions that seemed jumbled in your eyes, like you’re broken and you need help picking up the pieces. Nothing so beautiful should ever feel hurt, you should be laughing and feeling happiness.”

Sora looked away from him. Riku had hit the bulls-eye. They had hurt Sora. They had broken his spirit. They had taken his life away. He knew Roxas tried to help him put his shattered mind together, but it just didn’t help. Sora knew most of the time he looked lifeless. His shattered mind and spirit was all that was left.

“Sora?” Riku called out to him, bringing him back from his thoughts.

Sora gave him sorrowful smile. “I’m sorry Riku. I’m just not ready to trust anyone just yet,” he told him. He tried to back away from him, but Riku held on to him.

“Why? Who hurt you?” Riku asked.

He tried not to shake when Riku asked him that. “No one…”

“Sora, I know you’re lying. You can’t lie to me,” Riku told him.

Sora shoved him off of him. “I’m not lying!”

“I know you are. You just don’t want me to find out what you are,” Riku replied.

“Which is?” Sora challenged.

Riku smirked. “I know you and your brother aren’t normal…”

Sora felt his anger rising. “Oh, and you’re the perfect example of normalcy!?” Before he could react, Riku wrapped his arms around him again and looked him in the eye.

“No, I’m not. But know this Sora Strife. No matter how far you run, no matter where you try to hide, I’ll always find you,” he warned.

Sora felt like screaming out in anger. “Get off of me…,” he warned.

“Or what? You’ll call Roxas? Go ahead. Axel will just end up sidetracking him,” Riku said, full of confidence.

“No he won’t. Roxas will always come and get me,” he snapped back. Riku wasn’t budging and he couldn’t break free. “Let me go please…”

“Never, no one will ever take you away from Sora. Not even yourself…,” Riku told him, then walked away.

Sora stood there shocked at what Riku had told him. He walked to his next class behind Riku. Did Riku know the truth about him and Roxas?

`~`~`Cloud’s POV`~`~`

Cloud was finishing up loading the last marble table tops. Working in a mill shop wasn’t the best job in the world, but it paid pretty good for just him and the twins. He remembered working for Tifa’s father in their town, but that was a memory now.

“Cloud!”

He turned around to see his manager walking to him. “What’s up?”

Zack Fair, he met him about a year and half ago when he and the twins moved into town, now his new manager. “Head honcho wants to talk you. I think you’re getting a promotion man!” Zack told him.

Cloud was shocked. “Really? I’ve only been working here for about a year and I’ve never seen him.”

Zack shrugged. “I’m not so sure. Did your kids just barely start school this year? Aeris told me she met them.”

He nodded. “Yeah, they’ve been home-schooled but this year they wanted to try out going to an actual school.”

“Oh, okay. Well get your ass in there before something bad does happen!” Zack waved as he walked off.

Cloud walked into the office. He’d never seen the actual boss, but he had heard that he was nice and okay. He wondered what he possibly did wrong. As far as he knew, he never caused any trouble or made any mistakes.

When he walked into office, he heart nearly stopped.

He saw a young about his age with shoulder-length brown hair in layers and stormy gray eyes. Cloud tried to keep himself from turning red but he felt the heat rising in his face. He looked up at Cloud. “Hello Cloud. Go ahead and sit down.”

Cloud sat down, hoping he wouldn’t make a fool of himself. He looked at the name plaque on his desk. Squall Leonhart. That the last name of Riku and Axel! He remembered Roxas and Sora talking about them, he wondered if Squall was their father. He had to be. Leonhart wasn’t a common name in this island.

Roxas, Sora. What’s the last name of Riku and Axel?

Leonhart. Both boys answered in unison.

Why do you ask? Sora asked.

I think I know who their father is…

“How’s been your day Mr. Strife?”

Cloud blinked, bringing him back to reality. “Umm, good! Mr. Squall.”

“Call me Leon. So you started working here about a year ago correct?” he asked.

Cloud nodded. “Yes sir.”

Leon nodded, as if in thought. “Zack tells me you work pretty hard. Harder than anyone else who’s work here for a long time.”

“I just work hard cause I need the money to support my sons,” Cloud told him.

Leon looked shocked. “You have kids?”

“Yes, I do. Twin boys,” Cloud replied.

“Really? And you’re a single parent?” Leon asked.

“Yes. I adopted them. Some consider them my brothers and others consider them my kids. I go by whatever they say,” Cloud explained.

Leon nodded. “I see. Then I guess it’s a good thing I’m giving you a promotion. You’ll be assistant manager now. I’m sure you and you’re sons could use some extra money.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much!” Cloud said. This was perfect! This meant he would get more money and more money meant that if he and the twins had to escape, there would be money for them to live off of. He walked out of the office, but not before he heard a voice.

Don’t think you’re going too far Cloud Strife. You’re not getting away from me…Cloud turned to see who said it. Leon looked at him, a warning in his eyes. This wasn’t good.

`~`~`Roxas’ POV`~`~`

Roxas knew his plan was working. Axel was wrapped around his finger. Axel had been following him like a puppy since gym class this morning. Since then, he made as much physical contact with Axel without looking suspicious. Stroking the back of his neck as he walked passed him, making sure Axel saw him looking at him, and winking at him every chance he got.

Roxas, are sure this plan is gonna work? Sora had been paranoid, afraid his plan would backfire on him.

Don’t worry, I’m being careful. I have to know what they want with us. Roxas told him. He walked to their lunch table. Hayner and the others were already sitting down.

“Are you sure they’re sitting with us Demy?” Olette asked Demyx.

“What’s going on?” he asked Rikku.

“Demyx told us Zexion and his brothers are sitting with us today,” she told him.

Even more perfect…He had more chances to seduce Axel. He saw Demyx nod.

“Yeah, Zexion told me they would sit with us if you guys don’t mind,” he told Hayner.

Hayner just shrugged. “Sure. I mean he always stops by and listens to us play while we’re practicing,” he said. “It wouldn’t hurt to get to know him a little bit.”

Roxas saw Zexion and his brothers appear. Zexion was looking at Demyx, who was blushing badly. He saw Axel taking quick glances at him and Riku was smirking at his brother, who refused to look up at Riku. He wondered what was up with them. Axel sat next to him, Riku sat next to Tidus across from Sora, and Zexion sat next to Demyx.

“What have you been up to Roxy?” Axel asked him.

Roxas smiled sweetly. “Like you don’t know…”

Axel leaned toward him to whisper in his ear. “You’re right. I know what you’ve been up to…”

“So what made you decide to sit with us today?” he asked, trying to appear normal and casual.

Axel nodded his head to Zexion. “That loser. Wanted to sit and talk with Demyx, so me and Riku agreed to go with him,” he told him.

Roxas pouted, making himself seem hurt. Even though he was a little that Axel didn’t want to sit here because he wanted to. “So you wouldn’t sit here if Zexion hadn’t forced you?”

Axel smiled. “Yeah, I would. If you wanted me to…”

Roxas heard Riku talk to Axel. Axel, be careful. He’s up to something…He had to admit Riku was good at seeing deception, but if Roxas was good at anything, he was good at lying and acting.

“I want you to,” he whispered in Axel’s ear. He saw Axel turn a little red.

Axel…

Shut the hell up Riku! I can handle this little squirt. He only thinks he’s seducing me, but I’ll play along…for now.

Roxas knew they didn’t know about his powers. If they did, they wouldn’t have been so careless.

Leon met their father or brother, however you wanna look at it. Roxas knew they were talking about Cloud.

He heard Axel laugh. Yeah I heard. He seems interested in him.

Great, that was the last thing Roxas wanted to hear. It was bad enough they were interested in him and his brother, but now his father/brother? He wished they were normal boring people. He noticed Sora hadn’t looked up from reading Twilight since Riku had showed up.

Hey Sora, did something happen with Riku? He asked.

No, nothing happened. I’m just tired of seeing him watch my every movement. He’s like a rash that won’t go away.

Now you know how I feel about Axel. He just won’t leave me alone for one second. They’re interested in Cloud now…

He knew his brother was shocked. They were talking about Cloud?

Yeah, their father is Cloud’s boss and from what I heard from them, he’s interested in Cloud.

Does Cloud know?

I’m not so sure. Pretty sure he does though. Roxas hoped he was right. Axel was rambling on about something unimportant. He didn’t even bother to listen, just wondering why Axel’s father was interested in Cloud.

`~`~`Sora’s POV`~`~`

After lunch, Sora tried to walk out of the cafeteria fast, but Riku stopped him.

“Why are you walking so fast?” Riku asked.

Sora felt his phone vibrate. A text message from Pence. Hey dude, r u gonna b ok with jus Riku???

Yeah, I’ll b fine. He texted back.

Ok, call r text if u need anything^-^ Pence replied.

Sora walked to his next class with Riku. “Why are you so interested in me?”

Riku looked at him, probably surprised that he had been blunt about it. “Like I said, you’re so secretive. I just want to know who hurt you.”

Sora glared at him. “I don’t need a bodyguard. I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself!”

`~`~`Riku’s POV`~`~`

He smiled at Sora, who was getting mad. He thought he looked adorable and sexy when he was angry. Riku wrapped his arms around and kissed Sora on his forehead. He almost laughed when Sora shrieked in anger and surprise. Sora might’ve come off as shy and quiet, but Riku knew he was full of emotion.

“Why do you keep doing that?” Sora demanded, his cheeks a bright red.

Riku grinned. “Because I like you.” He saw Sora turn even more red.

“You barely know me…,” he whispered.

He shrugged. “So, but I want to know you.”

“What am I going to do with you!?” Sora squealed.

“Dinner with me tonight?” Riku asked. He laughed when he saw the Sora’s shocked face.

“D-Did you j-j-jus a-ask me o-o-out?” Sora stuttered.

He nodded. “Yes, I did. So what do you say?” He waited for Sora to answer, but Sora looked too shocked to even answer. “If it makes you feel comfortable, Roxas can join us. I’ll ask Axel to come along too. That way Roxas isn’t bored.” He saw Sora thinking about it.

“Just don’t try anything funny then,” Sora warned.

Riku nodded, smiling. “Okay. But can I least kiss you on your cheek? Roxas won’t get mad for that will he?”

“NO!!! Absolutely no kissing of any kind!” Sora yelled.

Riku pouted. “Then, how am I supposed to give a goodnight kiss?” He laughed when Sora’s face turned cherry red, burying his face into Riku’s chest. Riku held onto him tightly. He heard Sora mumble something, but he couldn’t hear him. “What did you say Sora? I can’t hear you.”

Sora lifted his head, looking at him. “I said, I guess I’ll go with you tonight.”

Riku felt his heart stop for a second. Sora agreed to go out with him. He wanted to go out with him. Riku wanted to shout out. “Okay! I’ll pick you up at seven. Is that okay?”

Sora nodded. “Yeah, that’s fine.” They walked to their next class together. Before they entered the classroom, Riku gave Sora one last peck on his forehead.

`~`~`Demyx’s POV`~`~`

School was over! After lunch, Zexion walked him to his class and asked him if he wanted to hang out with him since there was no band practice today. He told Zexion yes. Zexion told him about a new underground manga store and that they should go together. Demyx practically ran home, excited that he going with Zexion.

He saw a black Altima parked across the street. Why did it look and feel so familiar? Was it Zexion’s? He could’ve sworn Zexion drove a black BMW, when he wasn’t riding Axel or Riku. Ignoring the car, he walked into his house.

“Hello Demyx…”

Demyx turned around to face the intruder.

Luxord was in their house.

Demyx backed away from him. “What are you doing here? And how the hell did you get in?”

His father smiled. “You think a simple lock is any match for me?” He held up a playing card. “I would’ve thought Larxene and Marluxia knew better that any house lock wasn’t any good against me.”

“Get out. Get out or I ‘m gonna call them. You abandoned us! You don’t have any power over us anymore!” Demyx shouted.

Luxord smiled and began walking around the living room, Demyx walking around away from him. “You’re right Demyx. I have no power over you. I never did…”

Demyx felt lost. What did he mean by that? “What the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“The reason your mother left me was because of that new man she’s with and because of my secret obsession,” he smiled evilly at Demyx. “Your mother was such a whore. You and Larxene have different fathers, did you know that? I found her about six months after you were born and married her.”

Demyx was shocked. He and Larxene had different fathers? “You’re lying…”

Luxord shook his head. “No, I’m not. I was stupid enough to marry your dumb bitch of a mother. But if hadn’t been for her, I’d have no reason to live now.”

“What the fuck are you talking about? You’re making no sense! Just leave! Me and my sister want nothing to do with you if you’re not even our real father!” he shouted.

“But I want to stay,” he replied coolly.

“What? Why? We’re not even your kids,” Demyx said.

“I said your mother left me because of my secret obsession.” Before Demyx could react, Luxord shoved him into wall, pinning there. “You’re my obsession Demyx. Ever since I left, all I’ve thought about was you, me fucking you, you screaming out in pain.”

Demyx struggled to get free. “Get off me you bastard! You’re sick!” Luxord slapped him. It didn’t matter to him, he had to get free somehow. He punched Luxord in the face, but it didn’t do any good. Luxord punched him in the stomach and he fell to the floor. He was struggling for air, Luxord pinned his wrists together and tied them with rope.

“Perfect. Now you’ll know that I do have power over you!” Luxord announced.

“W-What are you doing!?” Demyx managed to get out, but Luxord punched in the face. He felt hands undoing his pants, pulling them down along with his boxers. He was down on his knees, facing away from Luxord, but he didn’t need to figure out what he was doing. “NO!!!”

Luxord evil laugh was humming in his ears. “Remember, I have power over you.”

Demyx cried out in pain, he felt Luxord’s fingers enter him. It hurts… He tried to get away, but Luxord held him down ruthlessly. He knew bruises were gonna be on his hips where he held down. “Please…stop…,” he begged. He caught a quick glimpse of Luxord’s erection as he pulled his pants down.

“I haven’t even gotten started yet…” Before Demyx knew it, Luxord shoved himself into Demyx’s body. He knew blood was probably gonna be there. Demyx screamed out. He tried to get away again, but it was useless. Luxord pulled him by his hair to look at him, thrusting into him over and over again mercilessly. “Remember Demyx, power…”

Zexion…He thought about him. He had always dreamt of Zexion being his first, not this. Now, he wasn’t any good to Zexion, he wasn’t innocent anymore. He cried at the thought, the pain Luxord was causing him was nothing compared to the pain he felt in his heart.

Zexion…

Demyx didn’t struggle anymore. It didn’t matter what he tried, Luxord was stronger than him. His fingers dug deep into Demyx’s hips and his thumbs marking his bottom. Luxord continued to thrust ‘til he climaxed. Demyx felt the hot liquid running down his thighs. Luxord fixed himself while Demyx laid on the floor, broken, his eyes lifeless. He pulled Demyx by his hair to look at him, kissing him on the forehead. “Thanks for everything. I promise I'll be back. I love you…” Then he left, but Demyx still hadn’t moved.

`~`~`Zexion’s POV`~`~`

Something didn’t feel right. Zexion had this feeling since he got home. He kept pacing around the house restlessly, not even reading a book could calm his nerves. Axel watched him. “Why don’t you just call him Zexy?”

Zexion glared at him. “No. I don’t wanna seem like I’m a stalker.”

Axel snorted. “Then stop pacing around! You’re making me dizzy by just looking at you!”

Zexion flipped him off and walked outside. He pulled his keys out of his pocket and walked to his car. Demyx was supposed to call at four but it was five thirty already. He knew Demyx liked to be prompt and exact, so him not calling made Zexion worry. He drove off to Demyx’s neighborhood.

He got there in no time. Larxene and Marluxia had arrived just a little before him, unloading groceries from their car. Larxene turned to him. “Oh, hi! Who are you?” she asked.

“I’m Zexion. Zexion Leonhart. I’m a friend of Demyx,” he replied. He heard Larxene’s thoughts.

So this is the boy Demyx can’t stop gushing about…She smiled at him. “Well, come on in. I’m surprised Demy hasn’t come out to help. Maybe he’s taking a nap…” But then again, he never takes a nap…not on weekdays anyways.

Zexion grew concerned. So Demyx was acting odd. Marluxia opened the door, seeing it was unlocked. He heard Marluxia’s thoughts. That’s just odd. Demyx never leaves the door unlocked…Zexion grabbed a few bags from Larxene’s car. Both of them heard Marluxia’s shout. “DEMYX!!!”

Zexion dropped the bags and ran to the house. Larxene followed behind him. What he saw shocked him.

Demyx was lying on the floor in the living room. His wrists tied together, his shirt was still on, but his pants and boxers were lying near the couch.

Zexion ran to him. He smoothed Demyx’s hair back. “Demyx…” Demyx didn’t respond. Marluxia called the cops, Larxene was next to them, talking to Demyx.

“Demyx! Are you okay!?” she asked frantically. Still no response. His eyes were lifeless.

Zexion looked at him. He saw thumb marks on his bottom and finger marks on the front of his hips. His face was slightly bruised. Zexion took a deep breath before he looked at his thighs. He felt sick to his stomach. A little bit of blood and semen coated them. Someone had raped him…He felt sick at the thought of someone doing this to Demyx. He tried talking to Demyx again. “Demyx…can you hear me?”

Again, no response.

Marluxia walked over to them, kneeling next to Larxene. “The cops are on their way…” Zexion knew he knew something.

“What are you hiding?” he asked. Marluxia looked at him, then at Larxene. He held up a playing card. He heard Larxene gasp.

“H-H-How could he!?” she yelled. Marluxia held her as she cried. Zexion tried to hear her thoughts, but her mind was too jumbled with different thoughts, he couldn’t focus. He tried with Marluxia, but his thoughts were about Larxene and Demyx.
