Author: this is my first work, I'm so excited!

If you're not into Japanese, I warn you that shounen-ai means boyxboy even if they don't do much apart from kissing and hugging ^^

Part 1

Demyx noticed the bright red car parked in front of his house. A good news in an horrible day: his sister was home. 'She will surely find a way to cheer me up.' he thought, feeling a little bit better.

As he entered, he heard some music coming from the bathroom. She was singing a random song that was being broadcasted on the radio. He knocked.
"Larxene, I'm back."

She turned off the radio to say hi to him.
"Come in and tell me what you think of my dress!"
He opened the door and froze. She was dressed like a big butterfly, with the most colorful wings and make up he'd ever seen.

"What are you doing?" Damyx nearly screamed in surprise
"Going to a party!" she explained, giggling "A friend of mine invited me...it's Xaldin, do you know him? He jogs with me sometimes."
He shook his head, without even trying to remember. Larxene had tons of friends after all.
And he wasn't in the mood to talk about parties and such. His sister realized it immediately.

"What's wrong, bro?"
He looked at her with eyes similar to the ones of an abandoned puppy.
"Everything." sighed "But I don't want to talk about it..."
She smiled and patted his head. This side of his personality has always been like that, since they were children. He was usually very cheerful but when something bad happened to him, he wouldn't want to let the others know.

"Ok, then how about coming to the party with me?"
He gave her a little smile. Maybe a party wasn't a bad idea, after all. New people meant new possible friends.
"Why not? Someone I know is going?"
Larxene started to list people, mostly from her university's sport's club.
"But you have to dress up!" she pointed out when she was done with the list

"I have a costume!" Demyx said, running up the stairs

He opened his closed, smiling to himself. He just finished to read his first manga and bought a costume on the net out of excitement, because he really liked the main character.
While wearing it, he thought about how lucky he was to have a sister like Larxene.
He was already in a better mood.

"Are you ready?"Larxene screamed "Marly is going to come to pick us up!"
Marly, whose true name was Marluxia, was one of his sister's weirdest friend. Even though he was a boy, he dyed his hair pink and loved to grow flowers. Demyx hurried down because he was curious to see his costume. It was surely going to be something flashy.

"Larxy, I'm here!" Marluxia screamed, waving his hand from a light pink car
Demyx waved back to him, trying to see his costume. Larxene was already walking towards the car, explaining the situation.
"Oh, so Demy is coming too!" said the strange boy with a bright smile.
He loved to call people by nicknames he invented himself. Up closer, Demyx was able to see his costume. A long pink coat with fabric roses sewed onto it.
"Both your costumes are so cute!" commented Marly
"And yours is...so like you!" answered the other boy, smiling

They chatted all the way to the party. Larxene was relieved to see his little brother's smiling face. Once they arrived, she started to talk to a boy dressed like a werewolf, with impressive black dreadlocks. When Demyx was introduced to him, he said that his name was Xaldin.
"You're dressed as a manga character, aren't you?" said with a deep voice "My brother likes them too. He must be somewhere around here!"

Then unknown people arrived and took him away. Larxene was nowhere to be seen, so Demyx found himself all alone and decided to go get something to eat. There was plenty of snacks on a table in a corner of the room, but his attention wasn't caught by them.
There was a black haired boy, laying against the wall and staring at the floor, as if he didn't want to be seen or to be talked to.

Demyx's face was lighted by a smile. The boy was dressed up as Sasuke, and it was pretty funny since his costume was Naruto's. He immediately decided to try to get to know him.
"Hi!" Demyx said, smiling "I'm Demyx. Do you like mangas too?"
The boy lifted his blue eyes. His gaze was rather hostile.
"Hi, I'm Zexion." replied dryly

The blond boy started talking non-stop, not discouraged by the fact that Zexion wasn't replying at all. Sometimes he paused to take a look at the other boy's face. Seeing him quite bored, he changed topic to mangas.
"I bet you only read one manga in your whole life." Zexion said sharply
Demyx smiled and didn't deny it.
"And you bought the costume on the net." added the black haired boy with a disgusted face
He nodded, starting to feel uneasy. Zexion seemed an interesting guy, but he sure was unfriendly!
"And maybe you believe you are a real otaku." tsked him at last
"Um, a...what?" asked Demyx with a puzzled face
Zexion, with a last cold stare, walked away, disappearing behind a door.
Demyx was still looking at that door, a bit shocked, when he heard a familiar voice.

"Making new friends?" smiled Larxene, handing him a cup of chocolate ice cream
"Guess not." replied the brother with a deep sigh "I just met Zexion, but I think he doesn't like me at all."
She scratched her head, trying to figure out who Zexion was.
"Oh, Xaldin's brother! He told me he's a bit of a manga freak and that he's not good at talking to people..." she tried to console him "Come, I'll introduce you to them!"
She pointed at a red haired boy that was feeding a short blondie ice cream.
"They're Axel, one of my classmates and his boyfriend Roxas."

The two of them were nice and fun to talk with, but Demyx couldn't get Zexion out of his mind. Honestly, he didn't know what he found attractive in him, since he'd been a real jerk.
He didn't want to believe that Zexion's personality was that awful, maybe he was just shy.
So, he decided to investigate a bit on him.
"Axel, do you know Zexion?"
He immediately shook his head.
"Not really. He doesn't like to hang out with us...and I don't think he has any friends. I heard that sometimes Xaldin tries to convince him to make some friends, but..."
Demyx sighed again. It was no use to ask around, he supposed.
Larxene looked a bit worried about him.

"Why are you so into Zexion?" she asked, as they were exploring the table in search of other sweets sweets, after Axel and Roxas had left
"I think I like him..." muttered Demyx, playing nervously with his own hair
This time, it was Larxene's turn to sigh. Her brother was too naïve and didn't have a good eye for boyfriends. His exs were worthless bastards who only wanted to spend Demyx's money for themselves. She clenched her fists remembering, she should just have beaten them up for good. But her little brother was too kind to let her do that.
"Ok, I'll help you if I can..." then she glared at him "But if I find out that he's a bastard like the others you'll have to listen to me and forget about him! Ok?"
"I promise." he replied lightening up again

I'll publish chapter 2 in a few days, I hope!

Please, review it, otherwise I'll just think it's horrible and go hide myself (just joking XD)
