Flaming Love(Axel x Reno)

Day 5: A trip down Memory Lane

Sleeping rather fitfully, I started to get the feeling that someone was watching over me...quite literally. Gazing upward, I almost had a heart attack when I saw Reno staring at me, aquamarine eyes ablaze with curiosity. pushing him away to the sound of my own laughter, I walked down the hall to his jaw-dropping kitchen, pouring a cup of coffee.

Lowering my guard for just a second, I yelped when I felt Reno's breath against my neck. " hey babe."

Nearly jumping out of my skin, I resisted my urge to smack him. " Reno! I almost had a fucking heart attack!"

Chuckling, Reno stopped when I whimpered and started to cry a bit. " Axel? You ok?"

Tortuous memories of my father started to ring through my skull, and I had to resist the urge to scream, clinging to Reno and sobbing into his chest. Cooing, Reno apologized and sat me down on his couch, laying my head in his lap. he asked me what's wrong and I'm pretty sure I spewed about two pages. Reno took in all of it, and at the end he hugged me tight, rubbing my back to help calm me down.

" I have an idea. how about we take you out to the park near my house? We can sit by the bench near the lake, feed some ducks, and you can just relax." Grabbing my backpack, Reno kissed me softly, and helped me walk out the door.

Walking to said bench, I started to become a little paranoid, but when Reno wrapped his arm around my shoulder and kissed me again, I started to relax. We got into an in-depth conversation about some of my problems, and one of Reno's questions got to me.

"Why don't you eat?"

Lighting up a cigarette, I thought for a moment. "as a punishment, and my dad did this up until I left, he'd starve me. I couldn't trust anyone after that, so I eat fast so that no one would take it."

Reno hugged me tight, running a hand through my cherry locks. " Axel, I can definitely promise you one thing. I would never do that to you. believe me, if I wanted to punish you, I'd be nice about it."

I almost didn't know what he meant, until I caught his smirk. Laughing, I started to contemplate whether I was ready for sex with Reno. He was a very nice man, and he's been very good to me, but what if he's like my dad and rapes me then leaves me in the dirt. No, he cant be like that, right?
