Anyways, here's chapter two. Enjoy!
And a huge thank you to everyone who added this story to their favorites and story alerts.
Zexion placed his pen down on his desk as he stood. His summer homework could wait. There was still a week left until school started up again anyway, not to mention the fact that most of his work was already done. He stretched, yawning a bit and turned his head to look at the clock. It was almost five in the afternoon. In two hours he would be meeting up with Demyx and a few of his other friends to go to the movies. Zexion wasn't a big fan of going out with a group, but Demyx always seemed to convince him to go, one way or another. With two extra hours of time, the teen decided to read until it was time to leave. He picked up the book he was currently working on and curled up on his bed, beginning to read. It hadn't been long before he drifted to sleep, the book resting on his stomach.

"Zexy?"
A familiar voice reached the slate-haired boy's ears though sleep still flooded his head. He knew the voice, but for some reason he couldn't place it. His name was called a few more times, the last of these times slightly louder than the rest and his eyes opened to meet with two green orbs.
"Zexy! You're awake!" Demyx smiled down at his friend, "It's time to go! I had to come all the way up here to get you. It's a good thing your mom let me in or you would've missed the movie! You're not feeling sick are you?"
The blonde tilted his head in concern at his friend. Zexion didn't take naps often, so it made the boy wonder if something was wrong. He was always looking out for the other teen.
"No, no, I'm fine," Zexion replied, sitting up. He ran his fingers through the hair that covered his eye.
"Good! Come on, Zexy. Axel and Roxas are waiting for us in outside in the car."
With that, the hyperactive blonde bounced out of the room, leaving the quieter teen to get himself ready. Rubbing his eyes, Zexion headed over to his dresser to change his shirt then grabbed some money out of one of the drawers as well. He didn't have a bank account so he always kept his money hidden in his dresser.
"You coming, Zexy?" Demyx called through the window from outside.
Zexy.
Zexion hated that name. He always got mad when anyone tried to call him that, anyone but Demyx at least. Since the day they met, Demyx had tried to call him that and Zexion eventually got tired of telling him to stop. Besides, it sounded different when the blonde said it. A good kind of different.
"Yeah I'm coming, Dem," Zexion called. He then turned, heading out of his room and down the stairs with a sigh. He didn't even know what they were going to see. Probably some stupid action movie with no real plot that Axel had chosen. That was usually what happened. He made his way out the front door, sighing again.
"Yo, Zex! What took you so long?" Axel shouted from the car window, "You're like some old lady!"
"Oh shut it, Axel," the teen grumbled, walking up to the car and slipping into the back seat with Demyx.
"Hey, Zexion," greeted Roxas from the driver's seat. He was quiet, though not as quiet as Zexion. No one was quite sure what the boy saw in Axel to make him agree to date him, but obviously he saw something in the obnoxious redhead.
"Hello, Roxas."
As they started down the street, Axel turned on the radio which meant they probably wouldn't get much talking done on the way to the theater. Axel liked his music loud, and that meant the volume would be up to the point where one would think the car speakers would burst. Zexion hated the noise but tried his best to ignore it while Demyx made an attempt to start a conversation with him and Roxas argued with Axel about how his car's stereo wouldn't be able to take much more of the torture his boyfriend put it through.
Once they finally reached the theater everyone but Axel's ears were ringing from the blaring music in the car. Axel and Roxas were still arguing as they entered the building, but Zexion and Demyx didn't worry so much about it. Those two argued a lot but it never lead to anything bad between them. They both loved each other very much, even though they might not act like it.
"Hey Dem?" Zexion asked, his curiosity getting the better of him, "What movie are we going to see tonight?"
"I don't know. Axel picked the movie this time," the blonde smiled down at Zexion.
Great, Zexion thought. He was right about the movie being something Axel picked. He sighed, as they reached the ticket booth and wandered in to find seats. There was hardly anyone in the theater, suggesting the other half of Zexion's theory was true and the movie wouldn't be very good. The movie started and the slate-haired teen could see that, once again, he was right. He stared blankly at the screen for a while until a piece of candy was shoved into his mouth. He nearly choked on it before glaring up at a smiling Demyx.
"You look so bored," he said, "I thought sugar would help!"
"Where do you get your ideas, Dem?" the shorter teen asked, but the blonde had already turned his attention back to the screen.
xXx
The movie finally ended and the four of them all piled back into Roxas's car. Everyone including Axel agreed that the movie had been a waste of time. The special effects were terrible and the story was crap. Even the acting kind of sucked here and there. The whole event had left Zexion feeling sleepy. The movie had taken up at least two hours, if not more, and the teen was bored the entire time which put him into a bit of a daze. It wasn't that late at night, but he was definitely ready for bed. He wasn't paying attention to what he was doing when he began to drift to sleep in the car and within minutes his head was resting on a surprised Demyx's shoulder. The blonde blinked a few times, poking his friend's cheek before chuckling softly.
"Guys, Zexy fell asleep on me," he stated matter-of-factly.
"Well then," Axel smirked, "Guess that means we'll be staying at his house tonight!"
The four of them had made it a tradition to stay overnight at someone's house when they went out somewhere. During the school year it only applied to weekends, but in the summer it was basically any day they happened to go out at night. It just made things easier that way.
"Right," said Roxas, "Back to Zexion's place then."
Yeah, yeah crappy ending for a chapter, I know but it's like 2:30am and I happen to be a human being who needs sleep! Once again, sorry for the delay in updates. With any luck chapter three will be up a lot quicker!
Review, review, review! It keeps me motivated.
Also, I just noticed how short this chapter turned out to be. ARGH! I just can't seem to make them long no matter how hard I try. x.x
