Waking Up (AU RP)

[fullsize_al]

Axel heaved a tired sigh and leaned back in his chair, balancing on two of it's legs as he read to Roxas. He had started out reading the younger man's favorite books, but as time wore on and Roxas still didn't wake up, he had collected every book in the house to read to him. There had been days where his voice had simply given out and that same

"Axel?," Al called from the kitchen, oblivious of what was going on in the bedroom, "It's almost lunchtime!"

[myown_nobody]

"Fuck lunch!" Axel called back as he climbed onto the bed and pulled Roxas into his arms. "Come in here! Bring some god damn juice!"

Roxas sighed and wrapped his arms around Axel's waist as he laid his head against the redhead's chest. "Don't squeeze me too hard, my ribs hurt."

[fullsize_al]

Al ran into the room, a glass of juice in his hand. "What's wrong?!"

[myown_nobody]

Axel was too busy pressing kisses to the side of Roxas' head to answer, and Roxas smiled softly over at Al.

"Hi, Al," he said quietly.

[myown_nobody]

Roxas frowned as he took the glass of juice from Axel. "I got beat up, right?" He asked, and took a sip.

Axel glanced at Al, then nodded. "Yeah, partner. But I took care of the assholes who did it."

[fullsize_al]

Al swallowed thickly. "Axel, you didn't, did you?"

[myown_nobody]

Roxas tipped his head back to drain the last of the juice from the cup, then smiled at Al. "Don't worry, he probably just beat them up a little."

"Right. Gimme that, partner. I'll get you more." Axel took the cup from him and kissed his forehead one last time before getting off the bed and leaving the room.

Al looked over at Roxas worriedly. "You know he did more than that, Roxas," he whispered.

[myown_nobody]

Roxas looked down at his hands and shook his head. "I... I don't remember," he whispered. "Is that why I'm- I'm so sore?"

[fullsize_al]

Al nodded and pulled Roxas against his chest. "I kept you on painkillers, so it wouldn't hurt so much..."

[myown_nobody]

Roxas wracked his brain, trying to remember what happened to him. "It was... those men, who attacked us that one time," he said quietly. "And I was walking home from buying groceries for dinner. We were going to have hamburgers and fries..."

[fullsize_al]

"Don't try too hard to remember," Al whispered.

[myown_nobody]

"And you weren't going to tell me?" Roxas demanded, staring at Al. "So- So when I wanted to have sex with Axel again and- and-" He looked away and swallowed thickly.

[fullsize_al]

"I- we didn't think this through, I'm so sorry. We were so worried you wouldn't ever wake up... Olivia's been staying with my brother for the past few weeks."

[myown_nobody]

Roxas buried his face in his hands and clenched his eyes shut. "I feel like I'm going to be sick."

[fullsize_al]

Al pulled Roxas against him and stroked his hair. "Do you need a trash can or a bucket?"

[myown_nobody]

"I got raped and I don't even remember." Roxas said quietly. "You really think I want you or Axel to see me naked now? Especially if I can't- can't..."

[fullsize_al]

"Why don't you want us to see you?," Al asked gently, "It doesn't matter to us."

[myown_nobody]

Roxas stood up, his legs shaking slightly as he put weight on them. "Nevermind. You don't understand."

[fullsize_al]

Al wiped the tears from his eyes and looked up at Roxas. "We just want to help you..."
