Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sora set his tea down on the coffee table with shakey hands before he looked up at Roxas. As soon as their eyes locked, his chin started trembling and tears poured down his face. He leaned into Roxas' chest and cried as hard as he could, just letting it all out. "I-I s-s-screamed, b-but...b-but n-n-nobody h-h-heard m-me..," he sobbed, his whole body shaking. "O-Oh God, wh-what is Riku g-gonna th-th-think?" he asked, horrified as he began to sob more. "H-He's not e-e-ever gonna w-wanna t-t-touch m-me ag-gain," he cried. "H-He's g-gonna k-kick m-m-me o-out, a-and I-I'm g-g-gonna h-have to g...go b-back to m-m-mom..," he sobbed, starting to hyperventalate a little. "I-I don't w-w-want to g-go back, R-Rox... I d-don't w-want t-t-to..."

Zexion walked in then with the majority of what Sora bought. He went to the kitchen and put it all away before joining the two on the couch, sitting on Sora's other side. He rubbed his back gently. After a few minutes, Zexion stood and kissed Roxas gently. "I'll be back in a little bit, okay?" he said gently before mouthing, "Going to see Riku." He then petted Sora's hair a little before making his way to the door.

Sora nodded a little and sniffled, starting to hiccup from all of the sobbing and coughing he was doing. "You s-still love me, right..?" he asked quietly, looking up into Roxas' eyes. "Do...Do you think R-Riku w-will still l-love me?" he questioned again, more tears filling his eyes. "B-Because I l-love h-him a-a-and I d-don't w-want to l-lose h-him..," he whimpered, breaking down again.

Zexion nodded and walked out of the apartment down to his car. He got in and took off down the road.

He arrived at the hospital around ten minutes later and got out, going inside. He immediately spotted a nurse. "Um, hi, can you show me where Riku's room is? It's extremely important that I get to talk to him..," he told her. The woman nodded. "Luckily he has an uncommon name or I wouldn't know who you were talking around," the nurse told him with a smile. Zexion smiled back adn followed her through the halls. Once they reached his room, Zexion thanked her and walked inside. "Riku?" he called as he walked towards the bed. He pulled up a chair and sat beside him. "Riku, you can't freak out, okay? It's already taken care of, and he's back at your place safe with Roxas..," he started, giving him all of that information before going on. "You swear you're not going to freak out on me, or I'm just going to let you find out when you get home. Promise."

Axel rolled his eyes. "I see how it is. My cocoa's more important to you than I am. I'll keep that in mind. Uh huh," Axel teased, sliding out from behind Demyx and getting up, grabbing the mug from the blond's hand. He walked out of the room, then came back in with some more cocoa. He didn't speak to Demyx as he handed him the mug then slid back behind him into his position.

Sora sniffled a little. "I-Is there any chocolate ice cream? A-And can we watch a movie?" he asked pathetically, wiping his eyes.

Zexion waited until Riku stopped freaking out to take a deep breath. "Sora went out to get some groceries, I guess...and on his way home...someone attacked him...and raped him. He's at home with Roxas now. Roxas knows how to handle it, trust me... He's just really freaked out and he hurts. And...well...he misses you to say the least. When I left I think he was freaking out because he was scared you wouldn't love him anymore..," he explained, trying to keep Riku calm. "I have my phone with me if you want to call him," he offered softly, holding up the device.

Axel's eyes widened a little and he bit his lip to keep from moaning. He whimpered a little. He caved quickly for Demyx's health. "N-Not right now. I don't want you passing out," he breathed out, pushing Demyx up off of him a little. "When you feel better, but not now..." He pulled Demyx into his arms and hugged him closer, nuzzling his nose into his neck.

Sora sniffled and looked over at the large array of movies. "Mm... Can we watch a Scooby-Doo movie? Any one. I don't care," he told Roxas, getting a spoonful of ice cream and letting it melt in his mouth, his mind already drifting away from what had happened.

Zexion stood and started rubbing Riku's back. He shook his head. "He's find, Riku. I didn't see any blood at all, actually. Just a few bruises and scrapes, okay? I think the worst thing that I saw was that he had trouble walking, but that'll go away. Now calm down, Riku. And now that I think about it, with you freaking out right now, it probably isn't wise for you to call him. You should be out of here by tomorrow, right? Just have them call me when you're ready to go, and I'll come pick you up. Then you and Sora can talk face-to-face. That way you'll have time to calm yourself down, and Sora won't be as shaken up. I just figured if anyone, you needed to know what happened, so I came up to tell you."

Axel felt a bright blush flush across his face at Demyx's words. It was so...adorable... He kissed back gently and held him in his arms. "I love you, Dem..," he mumbled.

Sora snuggled up to Roxas once he sat back down. He ate his ice cream as the movie came on, his eyes automatically gluing to it.

Zexion nodded. He leaned down and gave him a quick hug. "Don't worry about him, okay? Me and Roxas can take care of him until you get home." He ran his fingers once through Riku's hair before leaning down and kissing his temple. "I'm gonna go back to your place now. Get a good night's sleep, okay? For Sora?" he told him softly. He then turned to leave.

Once he got back to the apartment, he sat on the other side of Roxas and sighed softly, laying his head down on the blond's shoulder. "U-Uhm...guys? Can...can you not tell Demyx, please? About what happened... He'll feel bad for letting me come back alone, and I don't want him to worry about me..," he said softly. Zexion hesitated a little, but nodded. "Sora, I'm gonna have to let him know...but I'll wait a few weeks, okay?" he said softly. Sora only nodded slowly before focusing on the television again.

Axel smiled happily and held Demyx close. He softly began singing in his ear. "Ooh, I want you. I dunno if I need you, but, ooh, I'd die to find out..." He snuggled down with the blond happily.

Zexion bit his lip as Roxas got up and went to the bathroom. He was worried. Then, when a few minutes more than he liked passed with Roxas still gone, he stood up. "I'll be right back, Sora," he said softly, eyes focused on the bathroom door. He moved to it quickly and knocked gently. "Roxas? Are you okay?" he asked worriedly, pressing his ear to the door. "Please tell me you're okay..," he said quieter, but still audible.

Axel groaned as a chill ran up his spine. "You're killin' me, Dem," he grunted, hugging him tightly. "Why you gotta play like thaaaaat?" he whined with a pout.

Zexion smiled up at him and nodded, hugging him. "Okay," he said softly, happiness and love in his eyes as he looked up into Roxas'. He leaned forward slightly and kissed him gently. "I'm glad you're okay," he whispered, pecking him one more time before leading him back to the couch by his hand. They sat down in the order they were before and watched the movie, Zexion resting comfortably on Roxas' shoulder. Sora laid on his other shoulder and curled up against him, already starting to doze off.

Axel whined. "I just wanted to sing to you, and you turn this into a torture chamber." He pouted. "You're so mean."

Zexion and Sora followed Roxas' example and fell asleep shortly after he did, both of them snuggled up to him comfortably.

Axel pouted some more and scooted over to him, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him against himself away from the edge. He nuzzled into the back of his neck with a smile. "I like being just like this..," he whispered, grabbing one of Demyx's hands and intertwining their fingers as he held him.
