Title: A Love Song
By: TheKnownName
Warnings: Slash, too much I Love You's, Axel/Demyx pairing. XD! Oneshot.
Notes: The fic is totally unintentional!! Inspired by a song whose lyrics I was looking up, just to see if it's the song I was thinking of in my head. Guess what song it is! D


It's faint, but he can hear it through the thick walls, and from underneath the small crack between the door and the floor. The song is familiar to him. It's the only one Demyx seems to be able to play. He can hear the guitar, the one he memorized the sight of in the hands and lap of its player. He can see the graceful hands of his best friend strumming at the phosphor bronze light's, creating a low mellow sound of sorrow and love that Demyx often loves to hear accompany his singing. Axel rests his head against the wall behind him, letting a sigh slip from his lips. He crosses his arms and waits for the eventual.

Demyx sings. It's only a few words that he drags out for a couple of long notes. Axel's body goes numb, and he falls to his knees. He's singing Axel's song, the song he used to profess his love, which Axel turned down. He sounds so hollow, like he has nothing left in life except for to sing the song in hopes Axel would come to him. Axel's heart breaks each time Demyx's voice cracks. He can just see the tears flowing down his best friend's face. He wants it to stop, and he's well aware of the only way he can.

So, Axel stands up again, bracing himself on the wall. He took a deep breath in, and put his hand on the doorknob of his friend's room. He turns the doorknob, and exhales. Turning around, he inches the door open, and takes his first step in. He's prepared for Demyx's tears, wailing, and a possible suicide attempt. He doesn't anticipate the smile graced on the lips of the singer.

"Demyx, are you-"

"I'm fine Axel."

The singer hasn't stopped strumming. The words uttered only deterred him momentarily from the song. He continues as if they hadn't said a word. Axel interrupts him, but Demyx keeps singing.

"Demyx, I have something-"

"And if only you could-"

"Demyx, I gotta tell you som-"

"I can show you-"

"Dem! I'm tryin' to tell ya-"

"Will you take me in all my-"

"I love you."

"—my…m-my…my…"

Axel swoops down to kiss Demyx's lips, one hand on his left cheek, the other in his hair. He presses his lips solidly, then gently, and once again with more pressure, trying to prove his words with each. Demyx sits still, hands no longer on his guitar, but on Axel's arms. His eyes are wide open, staring at Axel's face when he pulls back. Demyx is still smiling.

"Demyx, you know I don't usually…feel things about most people…"

Demyx waited patiently.

"…I just…you know. I just can't…be without you. You know?" Axel stumbles over his words, but Demyx doesn't seem to care. Smile gone, he stands up, letting his guitar fall to the floor, and wraps his arms tightly around Axel's body.

"Axel…I-"

"I love you, Dem."

Demyx pauses, and stares directly into Axel's eyes. 'He means it.'

"Love you too." Demyx smiles even wider than he did before.

Axel clutches Demyx to his chest, and kisses his face as he hears the boy finish the rest of his song. Axel can't help it, and sings along too, surprising Demyx.

"I love you." The song finishes, the vibration of the notes lasting through their lips, connected together in a light kiss that's barely there.


TKN: Maybe a little more editing, yeah? Ah well, I had to get this out of my system. Please Review!
