Author notes: Hey! It's me again! I know your probably wondering what happened to my other story but I decided to cancel it. I lost interest. I'm sorry. So here's a new story to make it up to you! I really love this idea and I got the title listening to 'Is it Any Wonder' by Keane.
DISCLAIMER: NOTHING BELONGS TO ME. It all belongs to someone else okay? Yay for not being sued!

Chapter 1: Window Watching
"Really Axel, again? What happened to your saying..." I tapped my chin in mock thought, I was currently standing in front of my locker, gazing at the fiery red head in front of me. "Oh yah...'Nobody can resist me!" I laughed, mocking my flustered best friend. His face looked redder than a tomato, actually scratch that, almost redder than his hair...if that's possible.
"Shut up Demyx!" he whined. Here's what happened, see, Axel here has been trying to ask out Roxas, a sophomore, out on a date. This is at least the twelfth time he's politely declined. But Axel doesn't leave the poor kid alone.
I smirked, "Come on Axel, give up. He's never gonna say yes you know...", he stared at me in mock disbelief. "At least I actually try asking the person I like out!" he hissed, green eyes full of fury.
Ouch. That hurt.
My smirk disappeared in an instant. "I'm not going to bother...after all...Zexion would never go for a guy like me." I mumbled. Axel's eyes softened.
"Dem...you know I didn't mean it like that..." he began. I smiled, after all, I can't stay sad forever.
"It's fine Ax." I shrugged. "Come on. Let's get to class." I grinned as the bell rang. "You know what Vexen will do to us if we're late...again."
Axel paled. "CRAP! Let's go man!" he screeched, yanking my poor arm as we raced to class. After all, Professor Vexen was the scariest man alive.
-Zemyx-
My god. I didn't properly introduce myself did I? Sheesh. Where did my manners go? I'm Demyx Hawkins, a senior here at Oblivion High. I'm pretty tall, at a sky rocking 6'6. Amazing huh? My hair is something people would always talk about, see it's a golden brown in a Mohawk-mullet style. And trust me. It does NOT get like that with only gel. My personality to say the least is NEVER sad nor angry. I'm a happy-go-lucky guy, the guy who helps anyone in need, pretty much an overall fun guy to be around.
I'm a sitar player, a pretty darn good one, if I do say so myself. Yes a SITAR player, it is MUCH cooler than a guitar alright? Don't confuse them. I'm not a top musician but I do play at a couple of places when they ask me to. I'm one of the most popular guys at school. It's kind of interesting though to say the least. Everyone knows my name at school, but only one person gets away with the nickname, Dem or even Dem-Dem, and that's my best friend.
Actually, now that we're talking about him let's introduce him shall we? My best friend is a cocky, sarcastic, and lets not forget slightly perverted, red head named Axel Zeus, weird last name I know. A-X-E-L. Please for the love of all humanity, get it memorized. Last time someone forgot Axel's name...well, let's just say all chaos ensued. Okay? His red hair is seriously unnatural, but he claims he's never dyed his hair, I don't believe that but okay. There's also some upside down triangle thing tattoos under his acid green eyes. The first day I saw them I asked what the hell they were, he simply replied that they were cool and that all the awesome people had them. Right. Axel also has had the BIGGEST crush on Roxas Strife since he first laid eyes on him. I have to admit myself, Roxas is actually pretty cute.
Here's the best part about my life. I deeply, crazily, and stupidly in love. Yes love, I know its not a simple crush, because if it was, my heart probably would flutter to the heavens every time he passes me. Or when I die a little inside from happiness every time he looks at my direction. But when he beautiful voice addresses me...that's when I know, I'm really really in love with him.
Zexion Shang is his name. Smart guy really. He's a sophomore as well, but he's already taking senior classes, which is how I met him. Axel introduced us since he's Roxas's best friend. I swear, when I got home that day, all I could think about was him. He beautiful, completely natural might I add, purple-blue hair. Ohhh how many times have I dreamed about just touching one lock of that silky hair. UHUM. Going on. His eyes...oh god. They're a beautiful blue, a lot better than my own sea-green eyes, and they always seem to have a glint of a hidden emotion... But the best part has to be is that he lives right next door to me. His mom is best friends with my own mom so he's comes over often, which is to say the least, awesome. His bedroom window is also located right across from his own. The only problem is, that he closes the binds every time he's about to undress,...DID I JUST ADMIT THAT?
Wow. Stalker much?
Anyway, that's pretty much me and my life. Now enjoy the story alright? Trust me, you'll enjoy it.
-Dexion-
"MOM! I'm hoommmmeee!" I called as I slammed open the door in the kitchen. After a long day of school, can you blame me? My mom jumped. "Demyx!" she scowled. "Don't do that when I'm cutting up vegetables!" she whined slightly. I huffed.
"Sorry Mom." I mumbled. She smiled, nodding as she want back to cutting up the carrots, humming to herself. Everyone says I get my awesome singing voice from my mom and my charming looks from my dad. I suppose they're right. I guess.
"Dem dear. Make sure that you clean you room today." she murmured, looking at me, her blue eyes tinkling with amusement. "Your father said it looked like a hurricane had hit it." she chuckled, running her creamy hand through her red hair. Seriously, she looks like she should be Axel's mom. It's weird I know, they say my hair comes from my grandpa. Never met the guy, lives to far away according to my mom.
I sighed. "Fine." I mumbled as suddenly I heard the front door open. I smiled as I heard a familiar voice.
"Ariel! Demyx! I'm home!" my dad said as he walked him. My mother smiled as she walked over to him, wiping her hands on a dish towel. She pecked him on the cheek. "How was work Jim?" she said chuckling. My dad sighed, running a hand through his dark brown hair. "Same old same old." See, my dad's a pilot, and not just for any old airplane, he flies jets, since he likes the speed, he always says. Mom doesn't really like his job, since she's always worried that he'll crash or something. She really loves the man let me tell you.
I grinned as I gave him a bear hug. "HI DAD!" I said cheerfully.
He laughed, ruffling my hair. "Hey kiddo. How was school?"
I pouted, "I am not a kid anymore!" I whined. My dad cocked an eyebrow.
"The whining and pout says different..." He hummed. I groaned.
"I'm going to my room." I muttered. My mom smiled. "I'll call you in time for dinner!~" she sang. I nodded as I raced up stairs to my bedroom, my sanctuary.
-Zemyx-
My bedroom is probably the best place in the whole entire house. Ocean wallpaper, that glowed in the dark, which was placed on each wall made me fall asleep much faster, I have no idea why. I jumped on my water bed, snuggling up to my Spongebob pillow. Yes, I'm a water freak and a Spongebob one. Seriously he's the coolest character ever, how can you not??? I love anything that has to do with water pretty much. That's why every year we go to the beach for my birthday. "I LOVE WATER!" I squealed cheerfully, maybe just a tad bit loud too...
"WHAT?!" my dad called from downstairs. I giggled. Ooops I did it again...
"NOTHING!" I called back, trying to hide my laughter.
I could almost see my dad smirking as he called back, "IF YOU SAY SO!"
I looked towards the window, mostly because I didn't really fell like practicing with my sitar, and jumped over immediately noticing a familiar purple-blue shade. "Zexion...oh god..." I breathed.
There he was. The love of my life. I watched him as he sat on his own bed reading a book. I looked around and grinned when I saw my binoculars. I picked them up quickly and held them over my eyes, adjusting them so I could get a better view.
I had been doing this for nearly a year now, ever since I found out he lived right next door. Let's just say the very next day, right after I found out, I had spent most of my allowance on high-tech binoculars. It does NOT mean I'm a crazy, lovestruck stalker dang it!
Okay... maybe I am a tad bit of a stalker, but just a bit.
'Oblivion Nights' the book cover read. Interesting title I suppose. Not my kind of book but...
I jumped when he suddenly looked towards my direction. I squeaked and fell back. HAD HE SEEN ME!? I sneaked a peek and sighed with relief when he was no longer there. 'WAIT WHAT?' I placed the binoculars over my eyes and looked around, to make sure my eyes weren't playing tricks on me. Guess what. They weren't. 'Where did he go???' I thought, obvious desperately.
Suddenly I heard the doorbell rang. I stood up, placing my binoculars on my bed, I frowned. "Who could that be?" I thought out loud. I dusted myself off as I walked towards the staircase and blinked when I heard my mother open the door. I paled horribly when I heard the next words come from her mouth.
"Oh Zexion! What a surprise!" I heard my mother say cheerfully. "What brings you here?"
I swear I nearly fainted. 'OMG WHY IS HE HERE!?' I screamed in my head.
I could hear the seriousness in Zexion's tone so clearly I made me flinch. "Hello Miss Hawkins. I'm here so see Demyx."
'Oh god Mom. Please say I'm not here, please say I'm not here, I beg of you.' I thought, panic already going through me.
"Of course! He's up in his room! Go right ahead." she said cheerfully.
Damn it. I'm screwed.
