Holy Hell Jail Cell

[Rikugurl]

Axel frowned at the silence that went between them, not liking it very much. He felt uncomfortable... and like they were back to square one. Was it something he said? After seven months.... he thought he knew what to say, do and act around the blonde.... but was he wrong. He was about to tell himself to piss off.... that he can say whatever, it was a free country! He had a phobia of water and---

He glanced over at Roxas as he started to talk, his voice soft and he knew what that meant. It was something serious... and something that he wanted... no, needed... to share. At the mention of his brother, he could feel his chest tighten up in a knot, knowing very well the history of the two. Even if he didn't make a sound or nod his head, it was easy to tell that Axel was all ears as he looked down at the younger as he started to relay that night. He would of told Roxas that he didn't have to say anything if he wasn't comfortable... but he knew it was time.

Roxas needed to get it off his chest to someone he was slowly starting to trust and that wasn't family.

The bar, he knew it well though he made sure never to go inside. So many people ODed in that place that it had been shut down a few years ago... but the neon lights still lit the street to this day. He knew it was the same night that his brother came to his aunt's where he was staying, yelling and freaking out, throwing things and knocking things over. It was a good thing that Sera wasn't home...

[Reno]

Tears started to fill blue eyes but he blinked then away quickly, his mind working faster then his mouth as he saw it happening all over again. Idiot don't cry yet. What for him to be disgusted with you first.

He swallowed down the choking feeling in his throat, and continued to speak. "So I... followed him in. I was fairly addicted to alcohol too by that point though it didn't compare..." He shook his head. "Well h-he... he lead me through some of the crowd and this blonde woman met up with us. Her name was Xene. Reno seemed to know her cause they started to talk; I figured they were friends and that was why I was there, to meet friends. It wasn't something that hadn't happened before..." He shut his eyes, seeing it again as she turned to him, smiling so damn coyly. "But then she... asked me to come with her. She looked like she knew what I had been with Reno for and she was just another... supplier. That wasn't too unusual either so I just followed her. Like a fucking idiot."

His fingernails bit into skin as his hands clenched, though he slowly relaxed them. "She took me to the top floor of the bar. That's when I met him. Marluxia." He spat the name out like it was a curse. "The minute I saw him I didn't like him... but then he started talking. He told me he was the main supplier of the drugs his 'employees' got and that he was pleased with my business. Said I was a loyal customer and wanted to... 'give me thanks'. Said he was going to give me some of the first shipment in any I wanted for free... as long as I took the first hit with him."

He shut his eyes, shaking his head a myriad of emotions on his voice, his voice quiet as he spoke, glancing at the other "I... hadn't thought much of it really. My dad's a business man. He... he taught me all that sort of stuff. How getting good business is often based upon being social with your customers; being generous to them so they'll come back. And I... fuck, I didn't think about it. It was so obvious - why would he need to worry about lost business? It's a fucking addiction; no one would stop coming back. All I could think about was that I was SO fucking special and lucky to be getting such a great deal. The best hit of best quality for free? And I was practially withdrawing so I was desperate. Tch shit..."

He looked away. There was no way... he could look at Axel when he said this. "So he... he took me into this other room. It was... sort of like a living room. Asked a waiter to make us some drinks... told him something in spanish even and I remember feeling so fucking impressed... because it was my favorite language... And when the kid came back with drinks..." His hand reached up covering his mouth, as a sudden sob burst from his throat and the tears spilling down his cheeks. He took a breath and continued, his voice hysterical. "Oh Jesus he tried to warn me. I just thought he was worried about me mixing heroin and alcohol. And Marluxia even told me it had a low alcohol count made 's-speacial'... so I'd d-drink it all. I didn't know what was in it!!"

He squeezed his eyes shut, bowing his head, more tears splattering onto his hands that were now shaking as he cried. Even after all these years... He heard Axel whisper beside him, gently urging him to keep going. He took a few breathes trying to compose himself. It took a few tries before he could speak. "It... it was another d-drug.... called GHB.... It's... a-a...d-date rape drug..."

[Rikugurl]

OOC: I woke up this morning with my old cold back full force... so by the time you come on, I might of gone to bed. I hope I'll be able to see you tomorrow. ♥

Axel swallowed as he watched Roxas closely, seeing how horrible it was for him and he was sure... that it was all playing out in his head again. Like he was still there. Frowning, he wanted to turn away... but he had to give his support... even wanting to back up his brother that he didn't mean for any of this to happen. Marluxia... was his boss and he had to do what he was told or that would be it for his supply, though he wasn't backing up the drug dealing.... even if he was doing it himself.

He, himself, didn't have a higher up like his brother had. He bought his supply from someone who had a higher up, giving him slight deals when he laid down a lot of cash.
Unfortunately or not... his 'business' wasn't doing so well.

It was when Roxas started to suddenly sob that made him snap, his muscles tensing as he wanted to reach out and take the other's hand... but he knew.... he couldn't...
It was hard... and hurtful not being able to help and even as Roxas struggled, he knew that he needed to do this. "It's alright, Rox... keep going..."
But he wasn't sure if he wanted to hear the rest. Marly... he.... he didn't.... he couldn't....

Tears gathered in his own eyes, shaking his head as he now knew why Reno had acted the way he did. He knew...
Oh god... now he knew why that night at the party. "I....I'm so sorry...." The redhead choked.

[Reno]

OOC: It's okay hon, I was sleeping anyways!

The blonde bowed his head, shaking all over still, wishing he didn't feel like this. Wishing he could stop feeling like this! "You... you know what the worst part is... even worse then the fact I almost died?" He whispered. Axel didn't say anything so he kept talking.

"I-I... I was so out of it... that day that I hardly remembered much of what happened afterwards. Bits and pieces... so now... all it takes is a simple sight, a smell... a-a touch... and I remember something from that night. It's like... living through it... again and again... and each time it happens all I can feel is so helpless and so scared that I refuse to touch people because I'm scared of seeing more; at learning what ELSE he did to me that night."

Eyes puffy and red, he grit his teeth and rose his head, looking up at Axel. This time, along with the hopeless pain, was anger. "That... that BASTARD... took so much from me that night! He took away something that should of only been MY right to give! I can't even be normal anymore because of him!" He looked down at the bench shutting his eyes. "I... don't know if I'll ever be normal again. I'm so scared of being hurt like that again, I can't like the people I want to like." He jerked his head away, facing the rain as he shouted, "IT'S PATHETIC!"

[Rikugurl]

Do you ever get that feeling that you need to give someone a hug when you hear their woes? Do you ever stop yourself... because you know that of you do, they would hurt even more?

Hands gripped onto the edge of the bench he was sitting on, trying to not wrap his arms around his friend and pull him into a tight hug. These emotions... he never felt them before he got to know Roxas. The blonde was just a ball of emotion and even if most of it was bad, he learned a lot from him.

"Roxas...." He spoke softly, not knowing what to say. He couldn't imagine how he would feel if someone had taken advantage of him at that age... and then being shoved into a rehab without any notice to deal with it without the support of his family.

As a Gallow kid that didn't know what to do... the first thing Axel wanted to do.... was run.
That was what you were taught.... but he knew he couldn't run now.
He wouldn't.

"I.... you're not pathetic. If anything.... you're the strongest person I know and I mean that. Shit.... I look up to you. If it was me... I.... I probably wouldn't be here. I'd run away from it... but you.... you gained two friends since then.... Xion and me. And I know Xion did a lot for you... and you've done so much for yourself. I... I could never do that."

[Reno]

The younger man seemed to slump a bit against the bench back, all the strength the anger was giving him seeming to dissipate as he heard the other speak him name. He was silent as the other spoke to him, before slowly looking up at the other, his blue eyes wide and seeming so small. "You... think I'm strong?"

The other reassured him again, making a slight smile twitch on the man's lips... before he looked down at the bench. "I wish I could feel like I was. But it was so hard... just to let you or Xion get close to me. When I ran from you that night... I hated myself for how I felt. I wanted to like it; like the fact someone... thought I was cute and attractive and worthwhile... and yet..." He shut his eyes and sighed, "And yet I couldn't. So I tried to kill myself... or no, I tried to make myself confidant again. Happy. It wasn't the right answer but..."

He sighed shaking his head, not knowing what else to say. How could Axel even stand to look at him? Xion obviously couldn't anymore...

[Rikugurl]

Axel nodded. "Yea... you're very strong..." He assured, listening to the rest of what Roxas had to say but shook his head. "No... it was wrong of me to just jump on you like that. I probably would of scared anyone by coming on that strong... You don't need to feel bad that I was a jerk." He spoke softly again, sighing as the rain started to come down hard again. He suddenly stood, pulling the blanket closer around his body. "Come on, we should get inside... it's getting cold out here."


Steam shifted throughout the tiled room, making the mirrors and tiles fog off as the hot water sat. It was a large tub, making one have to wonder how much the rent was for this place... but that didn't matter as strong arms wrapped around a smaller boy, pulling it close against his chest. Wet, silver hair fell onto a slightly tanner shoulder as the man's face nuzzled into the wet spikes before him.

It had taken some time for their chills to settle but thanks to the bath, their bodies were starting to warm.


Orange body after orange boy walked pass the bars, making it look like some crazy psychedelic nightmare. A man stood though, in the orange of his own to go to the bars, watching the other prisoners pass. There had been a big fight since the guards and other admissions decided to do an unscheduled cell check on half of the block. A riot had started but he had missed all the action...

Suddenly, his arm extended pass his bars, grabbing the shirt of another inmate and pulling it up against his cage. Before the other inmate could react, their lips were together, a passionate kiss being shared and holding up the line.
The blonde didn't care... it was his wolf.

[Reno]

Roxas heard Axel get up, his own eyes on the rain as it picked up in speed and ferocity. The cold was beginning to wrap around them once more, making goosebumps rise on his skin. He nodded in agreement, following the othe rback inside, before turning around, watching Axel close the sliding glass door they had come in from. "Axel...?"

The other glanced at him, and the blonde swallowed hard, before taking a few steps forward... and slowly but carefully wrapped his arms around the other and brought him into a hug. His heart was beating rapidly in his chest, nervously. "T-Thank you..."


There was a joyful chuckle that filled the tile bathroom, the younger snuggling closer to the stronger body, a big smile on his face. He was just so happy... happier then should be humanly possible. But he was... and it was a great feeling.

A hand reached up, brushing away silver locked as they tickled his nose and tilted his head, giving the other a sweet kiss on the jaw. "I love you~" He was never going to get tired of saying that to him...


A devilish grin crossed a man's face like it was his pride, a bruise blossoming on his left cheek like a purple flag. But he wasn't half as messed up as the guy he had gotten his hands on. Might of even broke his jaw - wouldn't that be great?

He blinked in surprise, a little caught of guard when a hand grabbed his shirt and tugged him. He was about to growl threateningly... when lips fell on him. Oh, it was just his puppy.

"Mmm~" A victory kiss. How appropriate. His arms drew around the bars, tugging the other closer both of them pressing up against the metal as their tongues danced.

[Rikugurl]

Axel closed the door behind him, wondering if this would be a good time for him to tell Roxas that he should head home. It was getting a bit late and the buses would stop their commune time soon. He didn't have the sort of money to catch a train and the trolleys didn't run down to the Gallows.

"Hmm?" He questioned, getting a bit off guard... and then his eyes widened, feeling those arms wrap around him and bringing him into a warm hug.
Roxas...
He smiled, slowly wrapping his long arms around the other and pulling him closer as well. "You're welcome..." He leaned over the shorter, nuzzling his blonde hair gently.


Riku smiled, feeling the soft kiss before replying to it. "I love you too..." He whispered in his handsome voice. It was awkward... but it felt right. He could finally say it with the meaning it was suppose to have to the man it was always directed to.... but the stabbing poking in his back that Sora was still a client... seemed to haunt him. What would happen if someone found out?

Ventus and Aqua... could be at jeopardy...

He promised her that he would be out before their son was born but if the other attorney used this relationship to hinder credibility, the case would be dragged out...
"Mmm... we should go have some soup."


"Haaa.....haaa...." Ven panted as he broke the kiss, his eyes dark as he reached up and gently touched the bruise on Terra's face. It looked pretty bad and he should of known that he had been in the riot. "Are you ok...?" He asked, getting a reply he knew he would, the brunette acting like some tough guy but Ven bowed his head, blonde spikes falling over his eyes. "Seriously...?"

"HEY! Keep moving, wolf! I need to get some fucking sleep!" Another inmate called from behind, growling as he had his own injuries.
"Hold on a fucking second!" Ven snapped before looking back up at Terra.

[Reno]

Roxas couldn't help but shudder a little bit as the embrace was returned. But... this time he knew for sure... that this was not a bad feeling. It was... nice. Very nice...

He smiled a little, melting some in the embrace, the tension seeming to run off him in waves. Maybe this man was right... maybe he WAS getting better. Or maybe it was just him... something special about him.

"Axel... you're a strong person too." The blonde murmured softly before pulling out of the hug, looking up at him with a small smile. "You managed to deal with my bad temper for months on end!"


What beautiful, simple words they were. Yet his heart was like his name now, touching the sky. He closed his eyes, getting comfortable as he lent against the other. He wasn't thinking anything close to the lines Riku was stressing over. No he was thinking of romantic dinners, trips to the movies, laughing at nothing and everything, being happy...

"Mmm... yeah sounds nice..." Sora murmured, pleasantly distracted in his fantasy land. "We should go visit a beach sometime... watch the sunset..."


A tongue snaked out, licking across wet lips as they pulled from the kiss, the taller man smiling wickedly. Oh the bad things he wished he could do to Ven...
He blinked when the pale hand reached over, touching his cheek. He flinched just a little, even the slight touch painful to the new wound. But at the other's concern he just smirked, brushing it off without a care. "Fucking kidding me right? I took down five of them without trying, and this is all they got on me."

The other wasn't so convinced.

It was almost... fucking cute.

Then some fucker had to interrupt, making Terra ready to snarl - when Ven did it for him. "Heh, my puppy's finally got fangs~" He reached out, ruffling the other's hair. He lent down some, lowering his voice as if the conversation was private. "I'm fine Ven. Now stop bitching and give me a good night kiss. It's all the action your getting 'till tomorrow."

[Rikugurl]

Axel smiled as Roxas's muscles relaxed and he could tell how comfortable he was in his arms. It made him feel....good. That maybe he was helping Roxas too. He wanted... to fix what Marluxia had broken. And maybe Roxas, in the long run... could fix what the Gallows had done to him.

When Roxas pulled away, he laughed and shook his head. "There's a difference between stubborn and strong, Rox! Got it memorized?"


Riku's eyes opened when he heard about the beach and the sunset, laughing softly and shaking his head. He was already planning for the future, wasn't he?
Even if he always felt this way towards Sora... he wasn't sure... it still seemed so...

Unreal.

"Hey, remember when we were young and we went to the beach and stayed the night with our parents. You and I sat on the beach and saw a falling star...." He placed his chin on top of Sora's head and thought. "You know... come to think of it, I saw a falling star the night I moved back to Twilight Town..."


Ven smiled softly as he felt Terra ruffle his hand and leaned in closer, hearing a more sincere voice coming from the wolf. It made his heart melt almost until he was under command again. He leaned up, planting a sweet kiss on Terra's lips before running his fingers through his hair. "Night baby..."

[Reno]

"Nope, try saying it again~" Roxas teased, always liking to poke fun at Axel's silly motto. Before much more could be said though, he heard the donging of a clock in the break room, the bells tolling like a final hour. "You better thing about getting home, huh?"


"Did you make a wish to see me again?" Came a murmur from the silverette's shoulder, the brunette only partially making fun. Tge words though had flipped a switch in his brain - he remembered something!
His tone became a little more serious. "I... remember seeing that star. I had dreams about it actually... There was always this voice, urging me to make a wish, but I never said what I wanted too..."

Blue eyes looked at the sky watching the bright white light fly across a velvet sky.
"Hurry, hurry Sora make a wish. Don't let it disappear, make a wish before it's too late!"
"I wish..." The boy's face scrunched up in concentration. "For... a poodle!"

"After you moved away I used to feel bad and thing of that star and wish I had wished for us to stay together forever." Sora laughed. "Goodness I was a sap, even as a kid..."


"Night pup." The man said, a peculiar look on his face. One Ven had never seen on Terra's face nor for a long time; not since here at least. ...Something true and genuine...

It had been so long... since Ven had seen real happiness.

The brunette chuckled, before pulling away and heading off down the line once more to where his cage was kept.

[Rikugurl]

Axel was about to open his mouth again when he heard the clock ding, telling him it was time he had better leave. Great... he had to go out in that rain without any umbrella.
He hated the rain...

"Yea... guess I should." Back to his aunts where a bulb hung from the ceiling an the only furniture he had were old banana crates. A bed that was falling apart and worn sheets....
He looked back down at the blonde, giving him a weak smile before swallowing some. "Um... I....do.... you think I... could.... get a.....kiss....?"


Riku smiled a bit, even a little dreamy. "No... but I had a feeling I would and that it was a good sign about my move." He paused as Sora's voice became serious, glancing down at him even if he wasn't easy to see. The only thing he really could see were their bare legs pressed together.

He could only chuckle again when he heard what Sora wished for. He could still remember it. "You said your wish out loud anyway, it wouldn't of come true. You didn't get a poodle, did you?"


Ven's eyes seemed to lighten up when he saw Terra's face, looking so simple and.... happy. He pulled away though, making Ven shift on the door to watch him as he left. "Terra..." A soft whisper escaped his lips, hoping that it would be day already.
He had no idea that the person he really loved... was laying on their bed back at home... crying.

[Reno]

The blonde blinked as the red-head started to splutter and talk - and then surprised him... when he asked for a... a... kiss? Roxas stared at him silently for what seemed like forever, before looking away his cheeks a little red. At first the red-head thought it was hopeless... even started to gabble out an apology when he heard the faintest sound.

"Yes."
Narrow green eyes stared. Blinked. No comprehension.
Roxas cracked just a small smile though it was weak and full of nervousness. "A kiss..."
He lent up, on his tippy toes, straining his neck to reach... and their lips finally met.


"I was just hoping you were making up rules again to be mean," Sora said with a smile, remembering how bad he had felt when Riku told him he wasn't going to get his wish. He sighed a little bit in mock sadness, 'And no I didn't get the poodle... Too bad I was really hoping to have a dog with as crazy of hair as mine."

He pulled at some of his spike and chuckled before turning some, the water swishing as he looked up at the other. "Ah well~ I still got something I wished for." a silver eyebrow arched, Riku asking what he meant by that but Sora just smiled and kissed him.

You.


The man walked down a few more rows before being shoved in his cage, still a little lost in his own world, when the heard the screech of the bars and the slam of their heavy hinges locking together, locking him in. He looked back... and then sighed. Right. He was here forever. For life.

"Idiot..." He mumbled to no one in particular as he climbed into his bed. No one knew who it was directed too... and no one would have guessed he was speaking about himself.

Where the fuck was he going to end up if he actually started to fall for Ven?


Blue eyes watched another man intently. Watched him as he lent against his podium and stated his case, his face impassioned, his eyes alight with the fire of determination. He remembered, not even a year ago, when he first stepped into that office and saw Riku. Saw him nervously gathering his papers, saw him blushing over dinner, saw him, smiling almost terrified at his mother.

He had come so far so easily... and now they were on the verge of some very crucial decision. They would be those that would determine the rest of his brother's fate. He sighed, glancing to the empty seat beside him. Roxas was still locked away and Aqua... well Aqua was taking it easy; apparently she had a few minor contractions earlier in the week. It luckily didn't lead to an early birth but... the doctor ordered her to stay in bed unless strictly necessary.

She couldn't even come see the outcome...


"Seriously. Fucking muffins. It's all I ask for." Terra grumbled as he set down his tray poking at the food with a fork. For my dying day, I better damn well get a... fucking treasure load of blueberry-and-chocolate-fucking-goodness or I'm suing the government."

Everyone in the prison knew Terra was on death row. The judge's decision for 'cruel' crimes against his humanity. So he'd never even get the chance to leave these bars before the end...

[Rikugurl]

Stern blue eyes watched the back of the silverette as he started his speech in front of the judge, seeing her look through papers. Riku had came to him a few weeks ago asking him to take on the Holani case, that he was going to hand it over. Saix refused, asking why he was giving up now only for the silverette to... shyly explain his reasoning. He had sexual intercourse with his client's brother and was afraid of blackmail... but Saix told him that if he acted the same, without any suspicious, nothing would be held against him.

He still didn't appreciate the silverette's actions... but he couldn't hold it against him. Love happens.

He too looked down at the empty space where his sister usually sat... but he knew it was better that she was back home. Their relationship had grown tighter since this all happened, not having seen each other for months at a time for him stopping by every day. He went with her for every check-up, watching his nephew grow up inside of her. He was healthy and so was she. He'd ask her if she came up with any names yet... but all she would say was that she was waiting to discuss them with Ven first.

She hadn't seen her boyfriend in 5 months... and he was glad she didn't because he had been pulled into the recent cases... and he looked awful. He had bruises on his face and his hair was a mess, his soul seemed beaten out of him.
He was worried... about how he would be once he was free.


The only reason why Ventus looked so bad was because they had moved Terra to a new block a month ago, making him have to defend himself. If it wasn't for the fact that Terra had cafeteria breaks and outdoor run with their block every Friday, they're kick the living shit out of him.

"How are you suppose to sue the government if you're dead?" A soft voice came from a blonde behind him, his own tray of food being placed next to the other. He sighed as he looked down at his meal, not really hungry.


Lanky fingers picked up a red piece, making it jump over two black ones. "King me~" A sly voice called as the redhead leaned back, grinning as he pulled his hands behind his head. It was a nice day out, the two in the courtyard playing on the chess tables that had been set up out there. Unfortunately, Axel couldn't get his head wrapped around Chess, so they played checkers instead. Why? Because he actually had a chance in winning this game against the blonde!

But that wasn't the point. He came to visit everyday whether it be for 20 minutes to 5-6 hours. They always had fun... and now... they could walked around the hedge garden... holding hands.
