Welcome to Gaia! ::

Roxas couldn't help the smile on his lips and the small laugh that escaped him at Axel's over-emotional response. He petted his hair still and leaned down to kiss the back of his neck gently. "I'm so glad I have you back..," he whispered happily, resting his head on top of Axel's as they held each other awkwardly.

Roxas hummed as he drowsily looked up at the nurse from his slumber. "Mm... Okay..," he mumbled, sorrow contorting his features. He spoke softly to the nurse then. "Are you going to let him sleep here all night?" he asked her in a gentle tone,stroking Axel's hair. "That'd be nice... He needs sleep..." He kissed the back of his neck again lovingly. "When do visiting hours start tomorrow?" he asked softly, looking back up at her with a bleary gaze. It showed how much sleep Roxas hadn't gotten since Axel was in here.

Roxas smiled softly, weakly at the nurse and nodded. "Thank you for taking so much care of him..," he whispered before working his way from beneath him. "When he wakes up, tell him I love him, and I'll be back as soon as I can tomorrow. I'm keeping my promise," he requested in a gentle tone, leaning down and kissing his cheek then lips after getting from beneath him and situating him so he looked comfortable. "I don't want to leave you," he told the sleeping Axel as he stroked his cheek. Then he forced his hand away and turned to the nurse with a tired smile. "Thank you for everything," he said graciously once again, bowing his head a little. Then he stepped out of the room, walking down the hall to the main entrance of the jail. He called Demyx as soon as he got out of the building. "Hey, Dem? Can you come pick me up?" he asked in an exhausted voice as he leaned against the wall of the building.

Roxas had actually ended up dozing off as he stood against the wall. His head was leaned back, and his eyes were closed, body completely relaxed, but knees locked, as he stood, sleeping vertically. He hadn't gotten much sleep in the past month worrying about Axel, so when he finally did get a taste of good, peaceful sleep, his body didn't want to stop. He seemed so at peace in this position that it was ridiculous. He dreamt of Axel. His shining eyes, that gorgeous red hair, that sexy smirk... All of him. He dreamt of the date they would have as soon as Axel was out of there. They walked and danced on the beach to the music in their heads. Then they walked down the sidewalk as happy as could be, coming across a children's splash-pad. By the end of that little adventure, they were soaked from head to toe, so they headed back to Axel's car that was parked at the beach. They both stripped to their boxers and had huddled up in the back seat with wet hair happy grins, a thick blanket Axel kept in his car wrapped around them both as they snuggled. Then they talked about anything that crossed their mind: about the future, about the past, about favourite foods and music, about their next date... About anything. They were comfortable spilling everything to each other. Then they kissed, and it just got hotter from there. Their bodies intertwined in the deepest physical act of love, chanting each others names and those three beautiful words over and over. When they were finished, they snuggled up together once again and fell asleep peacefully. Dream land Roxas had awoken to a scream, though, causing his eyes to snap open in time to see Axel yanked out of the car and thrown into the sand. Roxas had screamed, body going rigid when he saw two gleaming metallic looking at him maliciously. Then he took Roxas right there in front of Axel. He beat him and hurt him in places Roxas had only wanted Axel to touch. No matter how much he screamed or thrashed around, it didn't stop him. The dark figure with gleaming golden eyes showed no mercy as he attacked Roxas as well.

Then he really woke up, eyes wild as he stared ahead, body falling down to the concrete beneath him. He looked disheveled and slightly crazy as he sat there against the wall. He heard a car door shut and glanced up, expecting to see Demyx. He felt a shudder roll through his body as he saw those same gleaming eyes walk past him, shooting a glance his way with a slight smirk. Tears sprang to his eyes and ran down his face. He pulled his knees to his chest and hugged them tightly, whimpering. His body ached. It felt like he had actually been beaten. He shook and silently sobbed, terrified of those eyes. Terrified of what they could do.

"No! No, they're gonna get him!" Roxas screamed, thrashing around in the car against Demyx. "They're gonna hurt him and rape him! Let me go! I have to save him!" he screamed, tears streaming down his cheeks. "You have to let me save him!" he cried, breaking down. "Th-They're in there, a-and they're g-gonna hurt him..!" he cried, weakly beating on Demyx with a weak fist before gripping his clothes. "It's too late... They got him, and they're hurting him..." He cried harder, going silent except for the sobs escaping his throat. "I'm sorry, Axel... I'm so s-sorry..," he whimpered, curling up again.

Roxas just continued sobbing, body shaking terribly. He hated this. He hated not being able to do anything for him. He hated not being able to protect him. "I-I w-wanna s-stay th-th-the night a-at A-Axel's h-h-house," he sobbed out. "I w-want y-y-you to s-stay w-w-with m-me," he finished, looking up at Demyx pathetically. "P-P-Please," he sobbed out. "A-And t-tomorrow, I-I wanna be h-h-here by n-nine th-thirty t-to s-s-see him." He gripped onto him tightly, crying into his shirt.

Roxas sniffled and gripped Demyx's hand tightly as they drove along. He remained curled up in the passenger seat, staring out of the window as tears poured down his cheeks for the duration of the drive. He felt so useless...

When they arrived, it took until Demyx snapped him out of his daze to realize that they were at Axel's. "O-Oh..," he mumbled absently before removing himself from the car. He dazedly trudged up to the front door step and opened the door out of habit. It was like his second home. "Momma, I'm home," he called softly, hearing her call out to him from her bedroom. He followed her voice and entered her room, falling into her arms and hugging her tightly, tears waterfalling again. "M-Me and D-D-Dem a-are s-s-staying the n-night, o-okay?" he requested softly, hiccuping.
