It was just any other day, and like any other I was just sitting there. That's when he walked up to me. Of all the places he had to sit, it was next to me. There were plenty of other places to sit, but he chose to sit next to me. A complete and total stranger. Trying not to let anger get the best of me I tried to ignore him, and his blaring headphones. They weren't the kind that screamed, "Hey! Look at me!", but they were pretty different.
Looking back at my book I tried to read again but, I couldn't concentrate. Looking at the man beside me out of the corner of my eye, I noticed his clothes looked worn. Then I realized where I knew him from. He was the lead guitarist of that one band his roommate Axel and his boyfriend liked. Wondering what he was doing here and a small retreat like this, I noticed him start to look at me.
I quickly adverted my eyes back to my book, and hoped that he would either just disappear, or he would get distracted and walk away. He seemed the kind to be easily distracted. Again I tried to read, but he cut me off before I even could turn the page.
"Hi, I'm Demyx. Of course, you probably already knew that. I am the lead guitarist of-. Oh, you probably don't want to hear that. You really don't seem like the kind to listen to our kind of music. Anyway, what's your name?"
"Zexion, now if you'll excuse me I wish to read," I said looking back at my book.
"Oh, alright then. Well maybe I'll see you around then," I hoped we didn't meet again.
"Alright," I replied no looking up from the page. Thinking he left I sighed, I was wrong.
"Hey, um. I know we really only just met Zexion, but you know the little trail. Well a few of us are heading over there for a small stroll and, well do you want to come?"
I was really caught off guard by his question. We had just met for like two seconds and he has the nerve to ask me to join him and probably some idiot friends of his. Of course I really wasn't the kind to be rude, so I just said, "Yes, I'll meet you. What time are you guys going to be there?"
"Awesome! We'll be there about 2:35 or so," Demyx said practically bouncing up and down and quickly walked away satisfied. I sighed and went back to reading my book, although I couldn't concentrate due to the fact I was wondering what the heck I had just gotten myself into.
I met up where Demyx told me to about ten minutes before everyone else would get to the trail. Looking at my watch I noticed that I had cracked it somewhere along the way. Mumbling to myself I didn't notice that the bouncy blonde had snuck up behind me.
"Hey there Zex," Demyx whispered right into my ear, which of course made me jump a little. "Why so jumpy?" Demyx laughed.
"One, you snuck up on me, and two don't call me that. My name is Zexion, not Zex," I said a little peeved.
"Alright then, how about I call you Zexy?"
"Um, uh. No," I replied bluntly. Yet somehow the blonde's comment made me blush a little.
"Alright then Zexion, no one else here? Oh well, I'm sure Marly and the rest will show up here in a little bit," Demyx said looking around for his friends.
"Oh, yeah. Why don;t you sit down," the moment the words left my mouth I wanted to slap myself, of course I could only mentally kick myself. If I slapped myself Demyx would of probably thought I was extremely weird. Last thing I need is some stranger telling me how freaky I am and then running off to tell his friends.
By now I really couldn't call Demyx a stranger. We talked a little, ok well he did most of the talking. I couldn't help but just sit back and listen. It's like there was a broken off switch. Oh well, I really didn't start to mind after a while. In fact I started to enjoy myself. That's when his friends came walking over the hill. One had pink hair, one looked older with scars and an eye patch, along with a few other following close behind laughing and enjoying themselves.
"Hey, looks like the rest are here. Sorry if I seemed to take up the whole conversation. I tend to do that," Demyx said standing up, and offered a hand to help me up. Taking his hand I couldn't help but blush a little. I wasn't used to having people help me. Even if it was just a simple gesture between friends, I could always do things on my own since preschool. I didn't ever really need help at all. Standing up I saw a couple more that I didn't see before. Looking closer I saw who else but my roommate Axel and his boyfriend, Roxas.
"I almost forgot they were here," I said under my breath.
"What?"
"Nothing."
It wasn't that I wasn't unhappy that they were here, it's just that I wasn't happy that they were here either. Roxas wasn't the problem, it was Axel. He was a loud mouth, obnoxious punk. Axel always wore skinny jeans, some red, some black, with the occasional blue. Today they were red, and his favorite tight black t-shirt with a small v-neck, and his usual knee high converse. Roxas was wearing his usual, he wore it almost everyday. There was the occasion where he wore something a little different, but he always had his checkered wristband on.
"So, looks like Demyx met up with the ever boring Zexion," mocked Axel.
"Hey, he seems quiet interesting. Sure I don't know much about him yet, but he still seems pretty cool," Demyx jumped in to defend me.
"It's alright Demyx. He does this all the time. I'm used to it by now," I said grabbing the guitarist by the wrist.
"Ohhh, looks like romance to me," the Pink haired man said.
"Yeah, it looks like it Marluxia," Axel teased.
"Quit it you guys," I could detect a little bit of whine and embarrassment in the blonde's voice.
"Well are we going to go for a walk or what?" The next one sounded like he had a British accent.
"Luxord's right guys. Come on," Demyx said pulling me towards the forest that the trail lead into.
"They're probably gonna go off and smooch somewhere in the woods," Axel laughed.
"Roxas, tell me. How can you put up with such a jerk?" I asked. He just shrugged in return. Turning back I noticed that Demyx and I were still holding hands. Trying to get free I couldn't help but want to stay there. No one else but myself and Axel knew that I was gay. Everyone else thought I was straight, but I was utterly and helplessly gay. It first started with Axel, in fact he was my first boyfriend.
Things didn't work out between us, but we remained some form of friends none the less. Which was and is extremely hard to do. Especially with Axel being well, himself. Eventually I reluctantly pulled away from Demyx's grip. I think that's when he finally realized we had been holding hands for the past three minutes. Looking at the taller teen next to me I saw a slight blush.
Focusing my gaze back on the trees and flowers I saw Demyx stop at a small pond. It was just past an opening in the trees. Leaving the rst of the group behind I followed. Now realizing how tall Demyx actually was I felt really short. Of course Axel was tall, and Roxas was about his height, but Demyx only seemed a year or two older than him. Yet he was like about a head or two taller.
"You know, I've always had this strange thing for water. Even my parents found it kind of strange sometime," Demyx said now sitting down playing in the water with a few fingers.
"Really? I don't think it's strange. I've always been the weird silent kid. No one ever really wanted to talk to me. That is until you came along," I said picking up a smooth stone and skipping it across the water.
"Whoa! Where did you learn to do that?"
"I learned from Roxas' twin brother's boyfriend, Riku I think his name was. Nice kid, little too much like Axel though," Zexion said now sitting beside the blonde.
Really? You'll have to show me sometime," Demyx said pulling his knees to his chest. "Well, we probably want to get back to the rest of the group."
"Yeah," I said standing up and offering my hand to Demyx. Helping him up we walked back to the rest of the group laughing and talking. For once in my life, I felt like there was actually worth something in the world to smile about. Of course I would never admit to myself that I was in love with the blonde.
