Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zexions face got stone-like and determined. "Axel, you look at me," he commanded in a fierce voice. "I am going to take care of you. I will not let you give up. You don't have a say in it anymore. I know you want to quit. You need to focus completely on rehabilitation. I know you don't wanna lose your job, but you're going to have to. Ill get a better job and help you out. I won't leave you alone to go through this. I know you're an amazing and sweet person. I want to see that person again."

"Axel, I know you love him... I know you miss him more than words can say... I also know that if you don't try as hard as you can and get better, he won't be able to face you again. It hurts him to see you drugged up, and it'll hurt him the same to see you as you recover... You just have to try. You have to give it all your best and put as much passion into getting better for Demyx as you have for loving him. He still loves you, Axel. It just hurts him to much to see you like this..." He pulled out a chicken nugget and fed that to him next. "I'm gonna do all I can to help you through this for both you and Demyx's sake. All you can do is try and hope with all of your might, all of your love for Demyx, that he'll still love you like he used to when it's all over with..." He leaned down and kissed the redhead's forehead gently. "How about we try to get you up and in the shower after you eat, hmm?" he suggested softly, petting his hair again soothingly.

Zexion frowned at the redhead as he just pushed his comments and the food away. He put the food back into the paper bag and set it aside. "Axel, let me help you..," he said softly, rising from his seat on the bed and hurrying around to help Axel up. He slowly lifted him from the mattress and steered him towards the bathroom. "Do you need help getting undressed, too? ...I know it kind of seems like I'm babying you, but you need help right now... I just want you to work up to being able to do most things on your own again." He made sure Axel was stable before he walked over to turn the water on to heat up. "Do you, um... Do you need me to get in with you?" he asked softly as he returned to Axel's side.

Zexion searched Axel's eyes and face for a minute as he bit his lip before he nodded. "Just...let me know if you need any help... I'm here to help you, Axel. Please don't forget that..." He then left the bathroom hesitantly and left the door cracked. He looked at the door, lip still being chewed on, before glancing around the room. It was a mess... He turned the bedroom light on and began to pick up the small amount of dirty clothes and strip the bed to wash the sheets and blanket. He threw the sheets and things outside into the hallway and straightened up things. He saw an open drawer with some more shorts in it like Axel had on and some boxers. He pulled out a pair of the boxers and laid them on the now bare bed. He also opened the blinds, letting some sunlight in. And he actually opened the window to let some fresh air inside. It may put Axel in some better spirits. When he ran out of things to do in the room, he sat down and waited, looking around the room some more as he munched on his cheeseburger.

Zexion frowned and quickly moved to the light switch, flipping it off. The warm sunlight still shone through the window, though. "Sorry," he said softly. "I, uhm... I pulled some boxers out for you. I figured... Well, you looked overheated before the shower...so I figured you wouldn't want to wear much more than that..." He sat back down on the bed awkwardly. "Um...did you want anything? Water? Or...or something..?"

Zexion smiled sadly at Axel as he laid back down in bed. He stood and walked over to the side of the bed where Axel's head was and stroked his hair gently. "Yeah, I'll be right back," he told him, slipping off to the bedroom. He returned a few moments later with a glass of water with a straw in the cup in his hand. He held it down to Axel's level and offered him the straw. "I figured, since it was kind of hard for you to move and all... I'm not trying to treat you like a kid or anything... I thought the straw would help..," he said quietly, beginning to second-guess himself.

Zexion smiled softly. "I'm just observent," he told him modestly, setting the cup aside. Then he carefully crawled over him and settled down with his head on his chest. He curled up, body molding to the redhead's comfortably. For a second, he was fine...until he realized how much he missed being held by someone. He snuggled up closer, face sort of burying itself in the damp skin of Axel's thin chest. He forgot...just how long it had been since Roxas had held him...and he missed him so much... He sobbed softly as the flood quickly made its way to the surface the more he thought of how much he missed the blond... His body always perfectly molded with Roxas's, and he always gave off so much warmth... He was a cold-natured person, so it was great. Roxas always warmed him up and told him how much he loved him as he was falling asleep. He promised he would always be there when he woke up... He would always tel him how gorgeous he was and boost his very low self-esteem... Now that was gone.

"No, no, no... Please, just hold me..," Zexion sobbed, pulling him back to him and curling up, head on his chest. "Please... I need it," he whispered desperately, pathetically. He gripped onto Axel's chest a little, trying to make him stay put. "I'm sorry... I just...I miss Roxas so much...it just feels nice to be held by...by someone." He sniffled. "Please...just please hold me a little longer..."
