Axel grunted angrily as he stomped around his living area, kicking a bucket here, tossing a limb there. Whatever to keep his mind off of the blonde who had held Riku so affectionately close to him. Marluxia had not told him about that one... With a huff, Axel flopped onto the worn couch, a hand over his eyes as he tried to calm himself.

Riku was allowed to have friends. Friends are good. Friends touched and hugged, right?

Axel sighed again, glancing over to his own 'friend', who went by the name of Hayner. The kid well, couldn't see... or hollar back... Axel smirked, deciding it was time to take out some of his frustration on the blonde. "Ah, you're so innocent. But you fucked up my popcorn, and for that, you must pay."

Hayner shook his head as his lips worked against the stitches through his mouth, his sockets bared before the grinning redhead. "Now now, you shouldn't be like that. I mean, I asked for butter. Why did you give me cheese? Did you think it would be funny," Axel cooed as he took a handful of sandy blonde hair in to his grip, yanking the bound teen closer.

Hayner whimpered and grunted as he tried to free himself, his tear ducts surprisingly still working as soft tears ran down his flushed cheeks. It... momentarily reminded him of Riku. How those pale cheeks flushed as he sobbed quietly to himself, questioning himself. Axel swallowed, deciding he wasn't in the mood for something drawn out like with his other 'friends'.

Softly, he released Hayner, watching the blonde stumble back, blind with fear as he continued to grunt and sob. It was... not as appealing as it had been earlier. Idly, Axel pulled a knife from his pocket, flipping it open as he strolled over ot the trembling teen, petting the blonde head softly.

"Sorry, kid," he whispered before he rammed the blade through Hayner's neck, raising a brow as the tip hit the wall Hayner had pressed himself to. Releasing the handle, Axel watched as the teen gurgled and gagged on his own blood, some of the liquid seeping through the stiches and injury.

Well, that had been time well spent.

Today had been a bore-fest, to say the least, as Riku wandered back to Larxene's. The woman had promised him Demyx's bed tonight, since the teen was going to a friend's. Or so the crazy lady said, but who was Riku to deny a free bed and meal? He.. had never figured out who it was that had been staring at him during the movie, but well, Riku decided it was for the better that he didn't know.

And he hadn't met Axel again... Agh and the man's pained voice was still in his head! Riku groaned, pressing ah and to his forehead as he wrestled his keys from his pocket before unlocking the door to the rather... pleasant home of Larxene. The woman in question was clinking around the kitchen, cursing up a storm as Demyx was tossing a bag over his shoulders.

"Right so if you do naughty deeds in my bed, be sure to clean up afterwards, got it," the blonde teased as he ruffled pale strands, watching Riku's cheeks flush ever so.

"I-I'm not you, Demyx!" The older teen chuckled as he slipped his shoes on, pressing a kiss to Riku's temple as he replied with, "Of course you aren't! Otherwise, you'd have an amazing lover, and not a killer slash stalker. Anyway, toodles!" Before Riku could interject at Demyx's statement, the blonde was gone.

"Jerk," Riku muttered with a smile as he tugged his own shoes off before he tupped to the kitchen, indeed finding an incensed Larxene attmepting cooking. "Gah! Fecking tofu!! Riku, you do this," the blonde screeched angrily as she tossed the lump of tofu down on the counter before stomping to where he pack of cigarettes sat.

The teen chuckled at the woman before he rolled his sleeves up, revealing multiple wounds. Larxene trained her curious eyes away as she tupped the cart on the table before pulling a thin stick out to press between her glossed lips. "How're you holding up there, Riku?"

Riku shrugged as he washed his hands before dealing with the mess of tofu. "It's fine. Just two more years, and then I can live with you and Demyx. I can tough it out," he muttered as he sliced the ball of soy product into strips before grabbing a pan. "Lavender honey, right?"

"I only wish I had the money to take you in now..." the woman sighed out as she dragged the ash tray closer. The way Larxene acted when it was just she and Riku... it was so different than with a crowd, or Demyx. It made the teen smile to himself as he fried the strips of tofu in the beloved honey.

"It's alright, Larxene. I say have Demyx milk this lover of his so you two can afford a decent house." Larxene chuckled as she inhaled on her cancer stick, her eyes shining with amusement. The teen smiled softly as he continued to prepare the meal, his thoughts finally averted from Axel.

Demyx hopped along to Xigbar's happily, his headphones secured on his ears as he waved to the adults heading home from a long day of work.

'Punch your lights out, hit the pavement! That's what I call entertainment! Causing problems makes you famous! All this violence makes a statement!!'

Demyx hummed along with the song, lips forever in a smile as he made his way to his lover's place of dwelling. Quickly, he rushed over to the street cross, noticing a rather lanky looking redhead standing around. Hmm... Naw. The blonde shrugged as he stood alongside the stranger, his eyes glancing constantly.

"You gotta problem, kid," came the gruff, angry voice that Demyx barely heard. Politely, he turned his music down, tugging one side of the headphones off as he replied, "Excuse me? My music was a bit too loud." The redhead's eye twitched, the younger noticed, but the miffed face was replaced with a... surprised look?

"Naw, it's cool. Say though," he cooed, an arm wrapping dangerously around Demyx's hips, "you were with Riku today, right? Know where I can find him?" The blonde tried not to pull away, tried not to show how much this guy freaked him out.

"Err... why do you need him," the younger asked as he stared at the crosswalk sign, willing the little green man to appear to save him from this hellish atmosphere. Instead, the little red hand blocked his request, like a horrible slap to the face.

"Oh, nothing really. He has something of mine, and well, I thought to get it back before he forgets about it."

Demyx blinked. Eh? What's with that kind of speak? All... not so scary and kinda nice! But the blonde grinned, none-the-wiser as he jabbed his thumb back in the direction he came from. "He's at my sister's place. Just down the street, fifth house. I'm guessing you checked at the Hell-hole first right? Well, I can tell you now, he never goes there, unless for weekly routine. Oh hey! You wouldn't be Axel, would you?"

The redhead blinked. Haa, so much blinking! Demyx smacked himself before gazing up at the older. "Hnn, so he's mentioned me? Nothing bad, right," the redhead grins as he releases Demyx, already making his way to Larxene's. It makes the blonde wonder if he should answer, or cross the street while the little green man is there.

. . .

Demyx chooses the latter.

Axel, on the other hand, is beaming as he rushes down the nice street of Twilight, eager to see Riku. Riku... had spoken of him. That thought alone pushed the redhead forward, ignoring how his shirt was too large for public appearance(for one side nearly slid off his shoulder), or how there were specks of blood on his cheek and pants.

The kid didn't mind it before, right? So there was no harm in showing up like thi--Oh wait. Maybe Riku wasn't expecting company(of course he isn't because it's not his house)... Axel shrugged. Unexpected surprises are always lovely. House two.... house three...

Axel's pace quickens as soon as he passes house four. Riku was so close now... "Oi, Riku, I'm heading out for more smokes. Be good, nee," came the voice of another blonde, though this time a woman who looked to be in her early twenties. But ahh, Riku was there so, Axel grinned ear to ear, waving the woman down.

Larxen raised a thin, pale brow as she eyed the redhead over. "What," the blonde huffed as she waited for the redhead to tup over, his grin slowly sliding off his face. "Uh, Riku here?," Axel asked as he glanced to the door. He wanted Riku so bad that he would resort to breaking and entering if this woman didn't allow him access to the teen?

Hell yes.

Sure, he'd only met the kid this morning, but it had been an eventful day and now he wanted to have some down-time with the teen who had been occupying his thoughts every second. And well, if Riku had been talking about him, then no doubt the kid wanted to spend time with him as well, right?

"He's here. But listen, he's not in the mood to talk to anyone, so if he kicks you out, accept it and wait a few days. He's been a bit of a funk today," Larxene huffed, tugging her coat tighter around her lithe form. Axel beamed once more, giving a slight wave to the woman before he slid into the house, immediately hit with a wave of something sweet smelling.

Silently, he slipped his shoes off, tupping around the compound until he found his goal; Riku stood before the sink, hair tied back and an apron clinging to his form. He hummed softly, eyes down as he washed up the dishes, arms submerged in the foamy water. Axel smiled at the endearing scene before slipping into the room, careful no to knock into anything.

"Honey, I'm home," he cooed against Riku's ear, gently taking the lobe in his mouth as he snaked an arm around the teen's thin waist. The immediate response was lovely, that being of a dark flush and sputtering. Though, it was quickly turned to... well. Riku gasped, slamming his elbow back as he turned to attack his attacker(which sound funny if you say it really fast), though stopped mid-punch as he stared.

Axel? Bewildered, Riku let his fist drop, eyes widening. "A-ah! I'm sorry! Oh shit, Axel are you okay?! Y-You shouldn't have snuck up on me like that," the teen rambled out as he reached out the older, helping Axel to his feet. The redhead was still feeling the pain in his abdomen, but... well, Riku was sorry, so he would forgive the boy.

"Damn, I know now not to sneak up on you, hee," he joked, making sure to speak the different tongue. It was cute to see Riku's nose scrunch as he tried to understand the language. Playfully, he patted the pale boy's cheek, letting his hand rest as it had earlier that morning.

Riku smiled shyly, his eyes glancing occasionally to the tattooes that sat on Axel's cheekbones. Interesting. But... ugh, he was so nervous! Sora.... Sora had actually rammed this guy down!! "Uhm, I'm sorry for earlier... Sora's a good kid. He was just worried," Riku tried with large blue eyes, hands clutching to Axel's shirt(he attempted to ignore the blood patches).

"Hn. He'll live for now. But only because I have you once more," the older whispered as he leaned down, his forehead pressing lightly to Riku's as he grinned. "Jeezus. You don't know what I did to find you, do you? Well, you'll know in tomorrow's papers, but that's beside the point, nee?"

Riku.... wanted so bad to be able to understand Axel, if only because damnit the redhead was smiling and--The teen sighed, pulling away. Axel... may not understand him, but he needed... he needed to get over this. So, swallowing his slight fear at the confused look Axel gave him, Riku said, "Listen, you... I don't know why you're here, or if you can understnad me.

But... You can't do this. I... I could get in trouble again... So please, just go home. Leave me alone."

Axel blinked, pretending he didn't understand any of that. But, the sad truth was that he did, and Riku was... was being a brat! But... what did he mean by getting in trouble again? Had something like this happened before? Axel snorted mentally. No, he doubted Riku had ever had a stalker... slash murderer.

"You're an idiot. I'm not leaving until you give it back," Axel said with a fake smile, reaching out to rougly grab Riku's forearm, yanking the startled teen closer, until he was able to wrap an arm around Riku's waist. Immediately the teen fought against the hold, his eyes hardened(though his cheeks pinkened) as he beat against Axel's chest.

"Axel! I didn't invite you to grope me, idiot!"

The redhead's grin widened as he leaned down, capturing Riku's ear in his teeth and giving a soft tug. Just enough to ellict a gasp from the younger, before he set to work at soothing the warmed skin with gentle, tender kisses. Anything to keep the younger in good graces while he devised a plan to keep them together.

Sora sat was a bland look on his face. One that brought worry to Namine and Roxas, who were cuddled together while they drew. The brunette had been rather... silent all day. And well, if Sora was silent for even ten minutes people freaked but.. this was just weird. Finally, Namine stood, patting her pale skirt down before she tupped over to the brooding Sora, her smile soft.

"Sora, is something wrong?"

The brunette blinked absently before he gave Namine a grin, masking his inner turmoil. "Eh? Nothing's wrong, Namine!" The girl did not fall for it, and instead sat beside her friend, taking the younger's hand in her own as she said, "Please Sora. You're worrying us. All day you've been rather... reserved. Has something happened?"

Roxas moved over as well, wrapping an arm around Sora's shoulders, trying to give the young brunette a sympathetic look. Sora easily crumbled, crawling into Namine's hug as Roxas rubbed his back soothingly.

"I-I did something bad! W-when Kairi and I told Riku we were... were finally together, he smiled and acted okay! B-but," Sora inhaled before breaking down into sobs. Roxas winced. Kairi was a sore spot for Riku, and well... having that secret kept from him, no doubt hurt.

How did Kairi feel about all this? Well, Namine guessed the redhead didn't care too much on her best friend's feelings, or else... he honestly would've been the first to know. Roxas, to be honest, hated Kairi. Sure, she was strong and nice, but there were times where she... she did things that hurt Sora and Riku.

If only they could figure out whether it was intentional or not. But alas, Roxas was left to dwell on Kairi's temperment as Namine soothed a woeful Sora.

But that night, Sora admitted something that could change the couple's view on Riku.
