Flaming Love(Axel x Reno)

14: God Still Feels like Sending The Devil Out For My Head

Axel's p.o.v:

       Screams were running tape in my head while I sat on the couch writing in my notebook. Nothing's wrong, just the singer is currently screaming on my iPod. What might I be writing you ask? Just the usual poetry, a story here and there, nothing major. Just writing to get the thoughts out of my head, pass the time until Reno gets home from work. To this day I still don't know exactly what he does, and I don't think I ever will.

Did I mention the living room is currently only lit by candles? Yea, super creepy.

The sound of a key in the lock brought me out of my monologue. I looked up and right into Reno's smiling eyes. "Hey babe."

Reno pecked my nose and plopped next to me on the couch, putting his head in my lap. "Hey Axe, how was your day?"

I put the notebook down and ran a hand through Reno's hair. "Boring, yours?"

Reno groaned a bit.

I laughed lightly. "I'm guessing not much better?"

Reno nodded.

I pulled a Twizzler out of my pocket, watching Reno's eyes light up further. "Will this make it better?"

Reno smirked and grabbed the twizzler, biting off a piece.

"That looks so wrong you know."

Reno kissed my cheek. "But ya love it."

I smiled softly and kissed his cheek. "True."

I fished around in my pocket for my phone when i felt it buzzing. Reno looked up from staring at my shoes. "What's up?"

I opened up Messages. "Got a text, probably from Demyx or Roxas or something."

I started to read the message and began to pale at the one sentence I saw:

"I know where you are. I'll find you when he's not home, and you'll get what you deserve."

Reno saw what I was reading and pulled me into his chest. "Axel?"

Tears started to form in my eyes. "I think my dad knows where I live."

Reno's face lost any color it had left. "The fuck? How?"

I ran a hand through my ruby hair. "I don't know, but he found out somehow."

Reno looked at the number on my phone. "What if he lives closer than ya thought?"

I paled. "He did say he had moved...you don't think he could've moved here!"

Reno wrote down the number on a piece of paper he got from his pocket. "I'll get some help on this, ask Tseng to have  Elena to come be here for a bit. He'll understand."

I sighed in a bit of comfort and anxiety. "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Reno hugged me gently. "Don't worry, you're gonna be okay."

Reno grabbed his phone and went into the kitchen. "Besides, Laney isn't that annoying."

              I laughed a bit, but there was still a tinge of bitterness in my voice. Something just didn't seem to sink in fully. What if that really was my dad trying to find me? It definitely sounded like my dad, he was never really that nice to begin with. I thought I had seen him around town recently, or someone who resembled him. Xigbar said he had seen someone like him recently, didn't seem like a bad guy...but my dad always appeared like that on the outside. 

Reno snapped me out of my thoughts by setting a plate down in front of me. "Axel, i know you're worried, but at least be worried on a full stomach."
