Flaming Love(Axel x Reno)

Pulled in by my nightmares

(A/N:bold text-----> other person on the phone. Also this chapter is kinda long, but I hope you guys/girls enjoy it anyway. ^^)

Axel's p.o.v:

          Its been a year. They somehow managed to get Reno on some other charge he had but at this point I swear they were keeping him there longer just for shits and giggles. All I could think about was Reno. His calming smile, his obnoxiously addictive laugh, the way he could calm me down without even knowing what was wrong. And now its been almost a month and he's sitting in jail and I don't even know what for. I think the only thing stopping me from either a) walking a rut into the floor, b) starving or c) slitting my wrists outright was because I have a chance at seeing Reno again. I curled up a lil more in my bed, feeling wave after wave of sorrow and exhaustion hit me like a truck. 

"Axel?"

I groaned softly, flicking the covers back over my head.

"Axel? Can you come out, its me Xigbar, we're like worried shitless dude."

I let out a tiny sob, curling further under the covers. "G-go away!"

Xigbar sighed and slid down the door, I heard him adjust while he sat there. "Then at least listen."

I huffed and crossed my arms, sitting up in bed while he started to speak.

"I understand how you must be feeling right about now. Like more than you'll ever know. But believe me when I say that Reno would not want ya like this, sittin' and sulkin' in yer room all day. He'd want ya to step outside, smell some flowers, actually eat and be slightly happier. And I know that's really difficult for you to be comfortable in yer own skin, especially with all the current happenings. But for the time being, Reno would be happy if ya came out and ate dinner. He made chicken parm before he left."

'Ugh he always knows how to make it better.'  I swiftly rose from my bed and flicked the covers off me, changing into a pair of black skinny jeans and a grey v-neck striped sweater. Sliding on my red converse hi-tops, I let myself sigh as I quickly ran a brush through my hair, before opening my bedroom door to reveal a smiling Xigbar.

"Hey, look who's a little bit better." Xigbar gently took my hand and led me down the hall, his ponytail bouncing a bit.

"I'm only doing this cause there's food involved." I pulled the edges of my sweater sleeves down, rubbing my wrists.

Xigbar let out a hearty chuckle and sat me down on the couch, motioning to Demyx who went into the kitchen. "I know, but at least its a start."

I set my legs over one arm of the couch, resting against Xigbar's shoulder. "So I got a question for the group here."

Demyx came back from the kitchen and set my plate down before taking his place back next to Zexion. "What's up Xigbar?"

Xigbar shifted so that I was more comfortable. "Does anyone know how tha hell Axel's dad found out about this?" 

                It was at that point the room immediately fell silent. Xigbar did bring up a good point. I have no idea how my dad would've found out about Reno. Granted this is my dad we're talking about, and to be fair he is kind of a psychopath. But the fact that I have been so careful and he still managed to worm his way back into my life is rather disturbing and most unnerving. I shook a little at the thought, what would he do if he finally got me?

Better question is what wouldn't he do?

"Axel? Axel?"

I shook my head again and looked up at Elena. "Sorry, just thinking."
