Demyx had been in the organization for quiet some time when he came to his epiphany. That he was slowly losing interest in women. It worried him a little, but then he just told himself 'So what! I mean, any man who has hung around and lived with a group of men (and one masculine woman) for as long as I have would certainly feel the same.' But he ran this idea through his head over and over and it didn't seem normal. It first started when he accidentally stumbled upon Axel.

Demyx walked up towards Axel's room and pushed the door open.
"Hey Axel, I was wande-" He was cut off when he realized his best friend was still getting changed into his uniform, wearing nothing but his black pants. He stared at the masculine body for a second then quickly swiveled around. "Oh, sorry." He stepped out of the room and blushed. 'Hang on! When do I get bashful around my best friend, just because I could see his chest, I see him like that all the time…what the hell?'

It was then Demyx realized he was starting to become attracted to men. Especially Axel; being one of his best friends. Talking to him recently had just become way too awkward and he just decided to try and avoid Axel. Axel, of course, was suspicious. When they passed in a hallway, Demyx strode past as fast as he could, looking at his feet. He had breakfast and lunch early so Axel wouldn't be there to sit him as he usually did. The only time they were actually near each other was during dinner (seeing it was at a set time). Demyx tried not to look at Axel afraid he would blush making Axel even more suspicious.

It was Saturday morning. The only day the whole Organization had no missions. Demyx snuck down to the kitchen while the rest of the castle were in dreamland. It was 6:00am in the morning. Demyx's 'new' breakfast time to avoid Axel. He stepped into the dark kitchen and flicked the switch on.
"Axel!?" Axel was leaning against the bench munching on some burnt toast. Demyx stood still in shock. "Uhm..what are you doing up so early?" He asked scratching his bed-hair nervously. Axel slammed his toast on the counter.
"Before I answer that, I have one question Demyx." Demyx cringed and turned to the door.
"Could we save it for later Axel, I'm tired." Demyx fumbled with the door knob. Axel sprinted to him and pulled him away from the door restraining his arms. Demyx blushed uncontrollably.
"Demyx. I want an explanation for all this crap. Why have you been ignoring me so much?" Demyx continued to blush from Axel's small touch. "Demyx? Are…are you blushing?" Demyx flattened his hand on the wall creating a portal and disappeared out of Axel's grip. He reappeared in his room grabbing his coat quickly and zipping it over his pajamas so he could make a quick escape outside. A portal started forming in the corner of his room and Axel reappeared.
"Thought you could get away from me that easily??" Demyx started creating another portal but he was stopped from a small flame burning his hand.
"Ouch! That hurt!" Demyx cradled his hand with the other and sucked on the burn. Axel walked up to Demyx slowly keeping his distance this time.
"Demyx…please tell me what's wrong. You used to tell me everything. What happened?" Demyx considered bolting out the door, but knew he had no chance. Axel was faster and stronger. Demyx sighed and sat on his bed looking at his feet.
"I...I can't tell you." Demyx rested his head in his hands hiding his face. Axel sat next to him putting an arm around his friend. Demyx shivered from the touch.
"Demyx…whatever's wrong, you need to sort it out so you can stop avoiding me. It's so boring without you around." Demyx felt tears forming in his eyes. He held them back scrunching his face up. Axel shifted closer to Demyx keeping his arm around Demyx tightly. "How bout we get some fresh air. Clear your head a bit." Axel created a portal and helped Demyx through. They were suddenly outside the castle in the dusky cold streets of The World that Never Was. Demyx shivered and crossed him arms keeping them warm. They started walking down a street in an awkward silence.
