In My Eyes

Author's note: We have lives. That's why it takes time to update. What keeps us inspired to update, however, is our faithful fans, who love to review. We are quite disappointed with the lack of reviews. We know we've got people reading because we have 1300+ hits. You people obviously aren't lazy since you can read through whole chapters, which we keep 7+ pages long each, so would it be too much to ask to write a simple review telling us your feelings on the chapter? Hell, we'd be happy if you even told us it sucked.

So thank you Micky, you're our favorite fan! We dedicate this chapter and more to come all to you!

Chapter 9.

   Good thing Leon was their neighbor, because if he lived any farther, Sora surely wouldn’t have found his way home.
   Said boy stumbled into his own house, clothes askew and giggling like a madman. He leaned on the stairwell and grinned up at Roxas’s bedroom door.
   “Roxy, darling, I’m home~!” He called jovially.
   Sora had barely finished his sentence before Roxas threw his door open and stumbled down the stairs to see his twin. He grabbed his brother's shoulders and began looking him over.
   "Sora! Are you alright?! What happened?! Was it Riku?! I swear to God...If he hurt you..." he paused and truly began to stare at his brother.
   "Sora...?"
   A wide grin spread across the brunette’s face.
   “You were worried about me~…” He said in a sing-song voice. Sora wrapped his arms tightly around his brother and buried his face into the blonde’s bony shoulder. “You don’t need to worry about me, Roxy,” he mumbled, slurring his words together.
   Great, he's more and more like dad everyday. Roxas sighed and held his brother at arm's length.
   "Sora...I'm not an idiot...So I'm not going to beat around the bush about this... You're fucking smashed off your ass, aren't you?" he glared.
   Sora giggled and reached for his brother but was just out of reach. He batted his large blue eyes and his cheeks were tinted pink.
   “Smashed? Noooo, Roxy! I’m drunk! Leon didn’t mind,” he giggled and sighed dreamily. “God, Roxy, Leon…”
   The blonde stared.
   "...Leon...?" he repeated slowly, before narrowing his eyes dangerously.
   Roxas, truly, was no fool.
   "I'll kill him," he snarled.
   Sora grabbed his brother’s wrists and pulled him over to the couch.
   “No, no, no, no, no, Roxy, don’t kill him, it was my fault,” he said while pulling at the corners of a pillow and putting it on Roxas’s lap. “I found this stuff—God, Roxy, it was disgusting—but I couldn’t stop and oh…I got Leon to his skivvies ‘n…”
   He stopped mid-sentence and clamped a hand over his mouth. Sora rushed to the bathroom a second later and Roxas could hear the brunette’s upheaval.
   Roxas sighed and dropped his head into his hands, putting pressure to his temples in a sad attempt to stop the headache that was quickly forming.
   He threw the pillow aside and got up, calling to his brother.
   "Stay in the bathroom! I'll get Mr. Cuddles..." he sighed, going up to their room to fetch Sora's tattered and worn stuffed rabbit.
   Mr. Cuddles was Sora's savior, and was always hidden in a special spot for whenever Sora was upset.
   It was the first gift he had gotten from their father.
   Roxas, likewise, had received a bear, but he had long since disposed of it.
   Sora kneeled in front of the toilet and hung his head over the bowl, feeling suddenly like his stomach was rejecting everything he’d eaten in the last day. He closed his eyes and heaved, hating the sick feeling; his head felt like it was going to explode at the same time.
   When he thought he was done, Sora stood shakily and rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth, looking at his reflection in the mirror; pale, gaunt, small, thin.
   He walked out of the bathroom tiredly and saw his brother coming at him with his raggedy, dirty Mr. Cuddles. He took the rabbit from the blonde boy and hugged it to his chest tightly, gratefully letting Roxas lead him to his bedroom and help him into bed.
   Roxas pulled the blanket up to Sora's shoulders and stroked his brown hair comfortingly.
   "Now...Tell me what happened... From the beginning, if you would," he said, sitting down on the edge of the bed and watching his brother.
   His eyes were full of concern but he would wait patiently until Sora was ready to tell the story.
   Sora felt tears stinging at the corners of his eyes and he pulled the blanket up to his chin, staring at his brother, eyes still glossy.
   “Riku hit me…so I went to Leon…and I found…found something…and I drank it all…and then me and Leon…and I…” he stopped his story to sniffle and wiped at a tear that ran down his face. “I fugged up, Roxy!”
   Sora pulled his brother down and hugged him tightly, crying into his shoulder.
   “Don’t hate me!”
   Roxas sighed and held his brother close.
   "Sora..." he spoke softly, so as not to upset his twin any further. "Nothing, I mean nothing, you could ever do would make me hate you..." he pulled back and ruffled Sora's hair, smiling gently.
   "You're my brother. I gotta accept you and the mistakes you make ‘cause I know you'd do the same for me."
   A loud sniffle greeted that encouraging statement.
   “Thanks, Rox…” Sora mumbled, curling into the blankets. “Stay until I fall asleep?”
   Roxas nodded, and soon, Sora was out like a light.
   The blonde couldn't help but smile as he watched his brother sleep peacefully, but although his outside seemed content, inwardly he was plotting something cruel and evil beyond reason.
   Riku would live to regret ever laying a hand on his brother.

[~~~~~]

   Demyx gasped and gripped Xigbar's shirt, tilting his head back a bit farther to let those rough lips continue to ravish his neck. The blonde seemed to be panting a little bit more than usual and his face was abnormally flushed but Demyx blamed the drugs still coursing through his system.
   He whimpered and shivered, a cold sweat breaking out across his whole body.
   He blamed that on the sheer excitement Xigbar aroused in him.
   The older man noticed, however, and stopped his ministrations to the younger boy. His brow furrowed in concern and he touched both sides of Demyx’s face, facing the boy to him.
   “Are you alright, Dem?” he asked, pressing the back of his hand to Demyx’s forehead. The drugs usually didn’t have this kind of effect on the kid.
   He smiled slightly, his vision blurring. He closed his eyes tight and shook his head before opening them again. He chuckled lightly and nodded.
   "Y-yeah...Bad batch or something..." he smiled before his throat closed up and his eyes widened.
   He pushed Xigbar away quickly and threw himself over the arm of the couch as he suddenly heaved and released his sickness on Xigbar's poor floor.
   Xigbar rubbed the blonde’s back and bit back his surprise. He didn’t even mind that he’d have to clean that up later; if his lover wasn’t okay, it was much more important to fix him up first.
   He fetched a water bottle and led the shaking boy to the bathroom and instructed him to rinse out his mouth and relax, then drink the clean water.
   “Demyx, what’s wrong? Are you sick or something?”
   Demyx shook his head and took his shirt off to mop the sweat off his brow, face and neck.
   "Shit...It's fucking freezing in here..." he muttered but continued to sweat, his breath coming in heavy pants.
   "Xigbar...What the hell is wrong with me...?" he looked up at the teacher, looking a complete mess and on the brink of tears.
   Xigbar pulled the boy into a hug, feeling the very obvious heat to his skin.
   “You’re burning up, but you’re cold…? Come on, let’s get you into a comfy bed, I’m going to call Marluxia—the uh…school nurse,” he said, leading Demyx to his bedroom. He gave the boy a pair of soft cotton sweatpants in place of his jeans.
   “Lay down, I’ll be right back,” he said, exiting the room to find the telephone.
Demyx nodded and changed into the sweatpants with some difficulty but did as he was told and lay on the bed, his arm draped over his eyes.
   Marluxia had just set his keys down on the main hall table when he heard his phone ring. He giggled and dug through his purse to answer, not looking at the ID.
   "Loz~! We just said goodbye not ten minutes ago and you're already calling me~?" he giggled again.
   Xigbar sighed. “No, Marly—it’s me, Xigbar. Listen, I need a favor. The kid I’m seeing is sick—will you come check him out for me? He’s burning up like he’s got a fever but he says he’s cold. He vomited and—just come, okay?”
   If there was an award for getting problems out without taking a breath, Xigbar would win.
   Marluxia sighed and did a quick translation in his head of the rushed rambling before answering
   "Alright, alright, alright, Xigbar, calm down. Where are you? Your house?...Wait a minute...Kid?" Marluxia's eyes narrowed. "Are you dating a student too?! What the hell is wrong with everyone!?" he sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.
   "Never mind, I don't even wanna know. Lemme change and get my stuff and I'll be right over. Keep your cool and don't freak the poor thing out," he said, hanging up before Xigbar could answer.
   “Thanks,” he muttered, even though the line was dead. Xigbar smiled and hung up the phone, hurrying back to his room to check on Demyx. He pulled a trashcan over to the side of the bed.
   “If you need to hurl, the can’s right here,” he said. He sat on the bed next to the boy and pet his hair soothingly. “Marluxia said he’d be here in a few minutes.”
   Demyx reached up to grip Xigbar's sleeve, looking absolutely pitiful.
   "He-...He's not gonna tell is he…?" he asked, his arm shaking terribly so he couldn't keep a very secure grip on the fabric. "Cause...If he's gonna tell...I...I can just...I'll be fine...I don't..." choked and heaved again, thankfully in the trash can near the bed.
   Xigbar frowned and rubbed the boy’s back so as to hopefully help calm his stomach.
   “He won’t tell, he’s a good guy. Don’t worry,” he said quietly. “And don’t talk so much and stress yourself out, that’s not going to help any.”
   The doorbell rang minutes later and Xigbar hurried to answer it, ushering Marluxia to his room.
   "Calm down, calm down, damn!" Marluxia sighed, brushing Xigbar off. "You're messing up my coat," he snarled, smoothing it out and walking over to the bed to see what the damage was.
   "Oh...tsk tsk tsk...Here's your problem, darling...You've got an awful haircut. It would make me sick too," he nodded, stroking the faux-hawk.
   Demyx's face brightened a bit and he let out a chuckle at the nurse's joke.
   Xigbar made a face.
   “I like his haircut,” he said. He earned a mocking smile from Marluxia and threatened the other man with a fist.
   Dropping his fist, Xigbar sighed and shook his head. “I’m going to go make coffee—Marly, you hurt him and I’ll kill you.”
   Then he walked out, rubbing the bridge of his nose and leaving the doctor and patient alone.
   "Yeah, yeah, yeah, get outta here..." he muttered, waving him off and getting to work.
   He did quick work of checking temperature, eyes, ears, throat, heart beat, blood pressure and, with a slight pause for Demyx to throw up, weight.
   "Hnn..." Marluxia mused, writing things down on his notepad. "Demyx...Within the last—oh I'll say 6 months—how many different drugs have you taken?"
   "Ah..." Demyx had to pause and think before beginning his list.
   "Jesus Christ, kid, lemme narrow it down...Anything that required needles...?" he asked, sighing when Demyx nodded.
   Xigbar frowned over at his bedroom door from the kitchen. He’d left it open and could vaguely hear what was being said, and Marluxia didn’t sound very happy…
   He sat at his counter sipping a mug full of coffee.
   It was going to be a long night.
   Marluxia set Demyx up in a blanket with an cold pack for his forehead before joining Xigbar in the kitchen.
   "There's not much more I can do here...But...Xigbar...I, erm, I wanna do some blood tests before I can say for sure but..." he said, looking up at Xigbar brow furrowed in concern.
   "Look at these symptoms..." he said, setting his pad down on the counter and pushing it over to the other male.
   Xigbar passed his mug of coffee to Marluxia and looked over the list of symptoms. He narrowed his eyes a little.
   “What am I supposed to be getting from this, Mar? Sounds like he’s got a flu…” He looked up at the pink-ette.
   Marluxia sipped at the mug and sighed.
   "It's probably nothing to worry about...But there's been a lot of cases lately...So I just wanna get a few blood tests just to be sure," he nodded.
   "I want him to stay home from school though just incase it's not what I'm thinking, which I hope it isn't..." he sighed again and took another drink.
   “Will you stop pussyfooting around it and just tell me what the hell you think it is? I love this kid, Marly…I hate worrying.”
   Xigbar hoped for all his life that he didn’t look as pathetic as he sounded.
   That would just fuck with his reputation like no other.
   Marluxia looked to Xigbar in surprise before it faded into a gentle smile of sympathy.
   "Xigbar...You sound pretty serious...It isn't like you..." he chuckled weakly and sighed, setting the mug down and turning to face him completely.
   "Xigbar...I think it's-"
   Xigbar took hold of Marluxia by the shoulders and shook him.
   “Please tell me it’s not bad, Mar—please tell me it’s just the flu, or a bug, or something…”
   Marluxia sighed and took a gentle hold of Xigbar's wrists.
   "Damn it...I don't want to be the one to tell you this if it's not true!" he grit his teeth and looked away.
   "Xigbar, I think he might have AIDS. With his history of drug use and with so many recent cases among well-known drug addicts...The chance is...Tremendous..."

[~~~~~]

   Roxas was worried. Riku had hurt his brother, drove him to getting drunk and having sex with his long-time friend, babysitter, and neighbor—and they were going to confront him.
   Sure, they’ve confronted the boy before. But now, Sora was actually in danger from the situation. If Riku got pissed that Sora did what he did after what had happened, then he might go after the boy again.
   So, this made Roxas worried. And that’s why he was glad Axel was good at fighting.
   Axel was excited. When Roxas had called him and practically begged for him to kick Riku's ass, Axel nearly peed himself.
   He cracked his knuckles, grinning like a five year old with his first ice cream cone. They were waiting at the front fountain like usual, only there was obvious bloodlust in the air.
   Bloodlust that increased tenfold as Riku approached, looking as nonchalant as usual.
   Roxas stiffened and gripped the fabric of the back of Axel’s shirt tightly.
   “Don’t go easy…” he said quietly.
   Sora was his only worry. Right now, he was at home resting because Roxas didn’t want the boy at school. The brunette had the hangover of the century and looked like hell with a black eye. As long as he was safe, Roxas didn’t really care what happened to Riku. He had a nagging little feeling in the back of his head that wanted Axel to rip the silver-haired boy’s eyes out and shove them up his ass and out his mouth.
   "Trust me...I won't," Axel grinned. "Oi, Riku!" he called, raising his hand in the air to beckon the silver haired prat over to them.
   Riku narrowed his eyes and hesitantly joined them at the fountain.
   "HELLO Riku~!" Axel gushed, grinning brightly. "How ARE you this wonderful morning?"
   Riku scoffed. "Where's Sora?"
   "Oh, that's not important right now. Right now I have someone I'd like you to meet. They have a BIGGEST crush on you and would love to get their first kiss from you~!" he grinned.
   "Oh is that so?" Riku mocked. "Axel, I don't have time for your foolishness this early in the morning," he snarled.
   "Oh c’mon, Riku~! Give it a chance~!" he teased, stepping closer.
   He sighed and shook his head. "Who is it?" he asked.
   "My fist!" Axel snapped, grabbing Riku's collar with one hand and punching him hard in the mouth, and he was quite satisfied with the sickening crunch that rang out in the air.
   Roxas moved about a foot to his left to avoid the back swing of Axel’s elbow.
   He wanted, of course, to ask why the hell Riku would ever hurt his brother, but Axel was making the chance of that happening disappear. Not that he completely minded.
   "Fuck!" Riku swore, stumbling back after Axel released him, reaching up to cup his mouth, blood gushing mercilessly. "What the fuck, Axel?!" he glared up at the redhead, stunned to find a sheer malicious look plastered on his face.
   "Oh, I'm not done, you prissy bitch," he grinned, grabbing Riku's shoulders and slamming his knee up into his stomach repeatedly, relishing every grunt and groan of agony.
   “Axel!” Roxas cried, taking hold of the redhead’s elbow. “We have to tell him what he did wrong before you kill him!”
   This seemed to instantly calm the redhead down—well, physically. He still looked pissed as hell.
   Roxas glared up at Riku.
   “Why the fuck would you touch my brother, you dirty, prissy jackass?”
   Axel crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for an answer.
   Riku dropped down to his knees, cradling both his stomach and mouth before vomiting a disgusting mix of sickness and blood. He glared up at Roxas in return and spit blood at him.
   "I don't have to explain myself to you..." he snarled.
   "Why you little--" Axel snapped, lunging forward and grabbing a handful of silver hair. "You don't even deserve to look Roxas in the eye, you trashy bitch! That's right..." he grinned. "For once, I called you trash. You think just ‘cause your dad is Sephiroth, you can do whatever the fuck you want! You forget the other half of your blood line...whore trash!" he snarled, kicking Riku hard in the stomach again.
   Roxas backed away again, watching out for teachers. First hour started twenty minutes ago, so no students or teachers were around, which made it a good time for a fight.
   He still wanted answers out of Riku. Not that he expected any now, but that didn’t stop him wanting.
   “We should get going, Axel—you’re going to get covered in blood and people will wonder,” he said.
   Axel reluctantly backed off after delivering one last kick. He crouched down and got right up in Riku's face, fingers gripping the fine silver hair.
   "Gosh, you ain't so pretty to look at now, are ya?" he grinned. "I think Sora'll be going to see Leon more often once he see's ya all ugly and banged up like this," he laughed and released Riku's hair, standing up and kicking a cloud of dust into his face.
   "L-leon...?" Riku repeated with a cough, squinting up at Axel, wincing with every movement.
   "Oh yeah...Seems after you crushed poor Sora's little heart...He went to Leon for some good wholesome comforting," he grinned wickedly, putting his arm around Roxas "If ya know what I mean..." he laughed again.
   Roxas stomped on Axel’s foot.
   “Of all the things to tell him!” he hissed in agitation.
   He looked back at Riku and could see the cold calculation in those sea-green eyes. He knew he was up to something. And from experience, he knew that that ‘something’ was not going to be good.
   "Ow shit!" Axel cursed. "Damn it, Roxy! I didn't know we weren't supposed to tell him!" he pouted. "I thought I was allowed to, like, add insult to injury..."
   Axel scratched the back of his head. "Erm...Forget what I said, eh, Riku?" he grinned, weakly. "C’mon, Roxas. We should get to class. Looking at that mess is kinda making me sick," he sneered down at Riku.
   "Yes...Please go on..." Riku smirked, despite his injuries "Oh, I'll catch up, don't you worry..."

[~~~~~]

   Saix looked up from his computer and sneered at the bloody and battered sight before him.
   "My, Riku...Don't you look...Lovely..." he muttered in his usual monotone voice.
   "Don't give me that shit, Saix," Riku snarled. "Get me Xemnas!"
   "I'm afraid...He's in a meeting...You'll have to come back later..." he replied, returning to his computer.
   "I said..." Riku slammed his bloody hands on the clean desk. "Don't. Bullshit. Me!"
   Saix stared at the offensive hands then looked up at Riku, a low growl forming in his throat. He was about to throw himself at the boy and rip him to shreds when Xemnas's door opened.
   Xemnas stared at Riku for a good thirty seconds in completely silence before he walked out to personally usher the boy to his office.
   “Clean up your desk, Saix,” he said, closing his door behind him.
   "...Yes sir..." Saix muttered before the door was closed, getting up to fetch a janitor.
   “What the hell happened, Riku?” Xemnas asked.
   "It was that Axel!" Riku snarled. "He ambushed me and obviously beat the shit out of me!" The silver haired boy took a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm himself before looking up at Xemnas again, hands planted firmly on his hips.
   "But...That's not the point right now...What can you tell me about this...Leon?"
   Xemnas unzipped his pants and motioned for Riku to position himself bent over with his hands on the desk.
   “Leon who, the security guard?”
   Riku sighed and walked over to the desk, taking up the position he knew very well.
   "Really Xemnas, this hardly seems the time..." he muttered. "I've probably got broken ribs and internal bleeding and you're wanting to make it worse..." he looked over his shoulder. "Really...You're quite the sadist..." he said with a pout.
   But despite his complaining, he did nothing to discourage Xemnas. Riku knew he would have to get the man in a good mood in order to ask a favor from him.
   "But, yes, that Leon. Apparently, he babysat my Sora and his brother when they were children."
   Xemnas pulled Riku’s uniform khakis down with his boxers and slipped a finger into the awaiting entrance.
   “Leon is…a very nice man. Great body. He’s…loyal, sort of like a dog.”
   Xemnas stretched the entrance quickly, removing his fingers and gripping the boy’s hips, pushing his cock against the hole.
   “He can also be very…sensitive when you need it,” Xemnas said with a low, guttural growl and pushed into Riku.
   "Yes, well-Oh!" Riku moaned, gritting his teeth against the pain and gasping aloud. "G-good qualities and all..." he managed to continue. "I want you to-Ah!" he moaned again when he felt another thrust, gripping the desk.
   God damn Xemnas, the brutal bastard.
   There was no way to carry on a conversation while being fucked like this but there was no talking to Xemnas without sex included in the banter.
   “He can be—God, Riku, when did you get so tight?” Xemnas slammed his hips into the boy in front of him, loving the view of the bruises on the milky white skin.
   “Anyway, he broke up with his boyfriend not too long ago…since then, he’s been very easily compliant.”
   "Being in agony must do that to me..." Riku growled, arching his back, pushing into Xemnas before wincing and gasping in pain.
   "Ah God!" he choked out a sob and quickly moaned to cover it up.
   "Y-yes...Cloud...He's dating one of my brothers now...Kada- Ah shit! That one really hurt, Xemnas!" he whimpered before finally finishing off with, "I want you to fire him!"
   Xemnas grinned and slammed himself as deep as he could go, leaning down to wrap his arms around Riku’s torso and kiss the base of his neck.
   “And what’ll you give me if I do that?”
   Riku gasped again and moaned. "Ah..." he shivered and bit down on his lower lip, instantly regretting it as pain jolted through his jaw.
   "I..." Riku shifted through his mind, looking for anything he might have left to offer. "Oh...I'll..." he shifted to grind himself against Xemnas.
   "I'll give you one of my after school services at your house..." he purred, wincing as Xemnas's arms pressed against his injuries.
   Xemnas grinned and pounded painfully into Riku. This boy was amazing.
   “Just one, Riku…? This is a man’s career we’re ruining here…Make it a month and you’ve got yourself a deal.”
   The boy groaned and thought it over, gasping at every harsh thrust, tightening himself around the elder man, hoping to hurry things up.
   "Ah! Alright! A month! Oh God Xemnas! Harder!" he moaned, trying to entice the man, knowing he probably wouldn't be allowed to cum this time so he wanted to finish and be done with it.
   It was rare for Xemnas to ever allow the boy a climax and now with him asking a favor, it was a sure thing he wouldn't be allowed this time.
   Xemnas sped up his thrusts and reached around and tightened his hand painfully around Riku’s cock, making sure that he couldn’t cum. He shot his load into the boy, allowing a few more pumps so that he wouldn’t make a mess.
   He pulled out of the boy and tucked himself back into his pants and zipped up, squirting a little bit of hand sanitizer onto his palm.
   “A month it is,” he said with a satisfied grin on his face. “Now get out of my office.”

[end chapter 9.]

Alex says: Hm...lost inspiration for that chapter. 'Tis a shame.
Ren says: XD I'm actually really pleased with this one. I got some Marly, Bitch Riku, and we finally introduced Xemnas and Saix!!
