Hee-hee! It's officially longer than the first chapter! I know, I know. Why is this so pointless? It's NOT!!! I insist, it'll make sense next chapter, if you didn't get it this one.

I owe a REALLY big thanks to Nekotsubasa and StrawberryMoonlight for faving my story!!!

And I swear, if Nekotsubasa didn't write that review, I wouldn't have ever really written the next chapter… (Well, maybe in a year… or three xP I'm so horrible)

And a big thanks to Justine for reading it, and Brianne, even though I stole it away before she could really even start.

Basically, they're at a mall, and Demyx and Zexion are driving like maniacs not to be late… I guess this revolves around Dem and Zex getting there. I had too much fun with that ;P

……………………………..

"Hey Sora?" Roxas's voice floated unsteadily from the back of Sora, staring at his legs.

"Hi Roxas!" Sora flipped around to see him, a huge grin plastered to his face.

"No, I mean 'hey Sora?'…" Is Sora joking? I mean, why would he say hi in the middle of a shopping excursion?

"Oh…" Sora was quiet, pretending that he knew exactly what Roxas was talking about.

"…" Roxas waited for a reply but got none.

"…" Think, Sora, think!

"…" Sora probably didn't get it…

"…" Sora bit his lip in deep-thought, eyebrows scrunched up and a frown gracing his lips.

With a loud sigh, Roxas shook his head, and said "I'm trying to ask a question."

Realization dawned on Sora and his face lit up enthusiastically "Oh!"

"Yeah." Roxas said, albeit a bit disappointed. Sora really needs to learn how to process information better.

"Okay. What's up, Roxas?" Sora asked cheerfully, Roxas's odd facial expressions going unnoticed by him.

"…Mmm… Nevermind." I probably don't want to know.

"What- but-"

"I changed my mind; I don't want to know!" Roxas was quick to cut Sora off before he could get too suspicious.

"You're weird." Sora said giving him one last scrunched-up look before laughing a bit.

"…" Roxas decided it would be in his best interest to just remain silent. There were way too many things to say.

"Hey look! There's Axel and Riku!!!" Sora exclaimed suddenly, waving his arm in the air like a chimpanzee.

"…" Roxas face-palmed, and gave a deep sigh… this could not get any worse.

……………………………..

"Demyx, slow down!" Zexion screeched while gripping his arms rests so tightly, his knuckles were white.

"…Psh, stop being such a wimp!' Demyx psh-awed him, hand movement and all as if whacking something, momentarily glancing away from the road.

-ba-bump… ba-bump-

"…"Holy crap, WHAT WAS THAT?!?!

"…" I hope I didn't run over Brick, my pet Rock!!!!

"…" I'm so going to kill Demyx… I swear, if he did something to my car- WHAT IF HE HIT SOMEONE.

"…" Oh, the sky is so pretty today!

Finally finding his voice, Zexion yelped "DEMYX! WHAT DID YOU HIT?!" His eyes wide and feral.

"It was a tree branch!" I think.

"Oh…" Well, better than a leg or arm, or cat… "Demyx!" Zexion yelled again.

"…What?" this time Demyx had resorted to driving with his knees, as he leaned over and searched for a cd. Upon hearing Zexion's voice, he had cringed and replied meekly.

"…" Does he really not realize what he's doing; breaking so many laws?

"…"Two handed driving again. Whoo-hoo!

"…" He's so going to be the death of me.

"If you dislike my driving so much, why don't you take the wheel." It was a smug statement, more than a question.

"I will." Zexion said just as smugly, giving Demyx a sneer.

"…" Demyx fell silent and focused 100% on the wheel.

"…" Seriously? Did he think I would say no?

"…" BE silent, he'll forget about it.

"Demyx…" Zexion trailed off. Is he flippin' serious? Demyx was being so childish about this.

"WHAT?!" Demyx snapped, giving Zexion a very irritated look.

Zexion was taken aback, and had once again lost his words "…"

"!!!" Demyx was fuming; first Zexion wanted him to slow down, and now what! IS he driving too slowly?

"You didn't have to yell." I said looking down, unable to meet Dem's gaze. I felt like a puppy that'd been kicked. Demyx NEVER snaps at anyone, period.

"…" My heart was hit with a pang of guilt… Maybe I over reacted… a bit. Okay, a LOT.

"…" He hurt my feelings, and he better as hell know that I won't forgive him unless he apologizes.

"I'm sorry…" Demyx said quietly, almost hesitant, feeling even more awful as he saw Zexy flinch when he spoke.

"…" I'm contemplating, don't rush me! He really made me feel like crap, there.

"…" Oh nooooooooooooo, Demyx, you big old idiot, now he hates you and is never going to speak to you again.

It was still a bit tense, but the angry-electric feelings had dissipated and the air was much calmer.

"DEMYX!! Pay attention to the road!" And we're back to where we started. God damn it, how the hell did this kid ever get a driver's license?!

"Don't be a backseat driver!" I mocked back at him, trying to look snooty.

"I'm not in the backseat, stupid." Zexion pointed out flatly.

"Yeah... well… I just wanted to finally say that to someone." Demyx started strong, but his strength dwindled into sheepishness.

"Look straight!" Zexion shouted suddenly, grabbing onto the wheel, making the car swerve.

"Zexy! Let-let go of the wheel!" Demyx complained, tugging the wheel to the left with one hand, trying to push Zexion away with the other.

……………………………..

Axel and Riku were about ten feet away from Roxas and Sora.

Being the loud, obnoxious person he was, Axel immediately shouted the first thing that came to his mind. "HOLY SHIT SORA!" His eyes were wide, and he was gaping at Sora's legs.

"?" Sora gave him a curious look, wondering what was with everyone and their strange reactions.

"…" Riku and Roxas both had nothing to say, and promptly ignored Axel's outburst.

"Uhh…" Axel trailed off as he saw his widdle-Woxy-boo-beaw making the neck-slash motion and the no-x with his arms, while doing this weird wild-head shaking dance.

"…" That idiot, does he not understand the meaning of shut up or else?

"Yeah?" Sora asked; catching on that something was happening.

Axel gave Roxas one last weary glance before sticking his nose up in the air, and saying like he wasn't interested anymore "Eh. Never mind."

"Augh! What's wrong with you two?!?!" Sora exclaimed, looking back and forth between Roxas and Axel, as if it might let him in on their mental conversation.

Riku was just standing there, looking highly amused. Because he so, would do that, but then he got an evil idea.

"Sora? What's wrong?" Riku put on his best concerned face and put his hand on Sora's shoulder.

"It's-they're-UGH" Why was everyone being so mean to him? Was today a ' Keep-Sora-out-of-the-biggest-secret-evarrrrr' day?! (Of course they'd never spell ever like evar, unless it included Sora… so… that idea went down the drain pretty fast)

……………………………..

"Ahhh!" Demyx screamed at the top of his lungs, giving Zexion a defiant glare.

"AAAHHHhhh!" Zexion screamed even louder and longer than Demyx.

Demyx took in a huuuuuuuuuuge breath and let out something resembling that of an earthquake/explosion rumble "AAAAHHHHHHHH-"

"…" Zexion was silent in awe, but also annoyance of this loud shrieking.

"-HHHHHhhhHHHHHHHHhhhhhHH!!!" Demyx finished off, taking long, deep breaths… Crap, did he just miss the turn?!

"…" Zexion was still silent, for he never quite new the extent of Demyx's vocal chords.

"…" Demyx, on the other hand was silent except for his deep gasps for air.

Zexion frowned at Demyx and casually tossed him a "You suck."

This caused Demyx to giggle, sending him into a coughing fit.

"…Shut up." Zexion said, blushing very darkly.

"I didn't say anything!' Demyx, finally recovered smiled widely, eyes twinkling with amusement.

"But you're thinking-" Zexion's whine was cut off by a loud…

--

"Demyx! .ROAD" Zexion exclaimed, annunciating every word, his hair beginning to look like Sora's, and his nerves were extremely frazzled.

"Psh, we'll be fine!" I countered with a smile, ignoring the blaring honks and cars swerving every which way.

……………………………..

"I still don't see why you won't let me drive!" Demyx complained, now sitting in the passenger seat.

"…" Zexion ignored Demyx, eyes fixed on the black pavement ahead.

"I mean, we're never going to get there at THIS rate!" Dem exaggerated with his crazy hand movements, his arm swinging in front of Zexy's face.

"…" Zex was beginning to get a tad bit annoyed, but if he snapped, he'd most likely end up running them off the road…

"Hey Zexy?" Demyx piped up curiously after about a 30 second silence.

"…" Will he EVER shut up?

"…" Oh! I know what I can do to make him pay attention to me. I snuck my hands around his shoulders, and then covered his eyes.

"DAMNIT DEMYX I CAN'T SEE!" Zex was fuming, jerking the car all over the intersection.

BEEEEEEE-EEEEEEeeeEEEP! BEEEEEP

Numerous insults later, and multiple people flipping them the bird, Zexion had finally managed to wrangle Demyx off of him.

"You just don't DO that!" Zexion sighed exasperatedly, tired of Dem's antics.

Demyx slapped his knee and gave a bubbly giggle "Ha-ha, lighten up, Zexy!"

"No. You- you- you need to take things more seriously." Zexion said, stressing the seriously part, his brows knitted in concentration.

"Ah-ah ah!" Demyx condoned him, waggling his pointer finger in Zexy's face matter-of-factly.

Zexion sighed; this was going to be a long car ride. Why did Axel, Roxas, Sora, and Riku always insist on going two states over to go shopping at a mall?!

……………………………..

Thunk – thunka– thunk

"…And then I said-"Demyx continued to babble on mindlessly whilst Zexy blocked him out.

Thunk – thunka –thunk

"Oh!!!! Chinese fire drill time!" Demyx exclaimed, slamming open the car door. Now, in a normal situation, this would be worrisome (except for the fact that they were in snail-traffic).

Thunk – thunka – thunk

"Come on Zexy, don't be a Mr. Sour Puss!" Demyx complained as he tugged on Zexy's arm.

Thunk – thunka –thunk

……………………………..

"Sora, don't run up Down-Escalators!" Riku scolded Sora from the bottom of the escalator, while Axel was in a heap of laughter on the floor, and Roxas was staring at the wall disinterestedly.

"!' Sora blew Riku a raspberry and smacked his butt before continuing his epic journey up the Down-Escalator.

"Don't make me come up there!" Riku warned with an un-impressed frown upon his face.

……………………………..

"Eeps! Riku, let go!" Sora giggled, grunting and squealing at the same time.

"Ah, no! Riku, stop it!" he shouted, both of them now making obscene sounds.

"…" Roxas didn't want to know what they were doing… it might give him nightmares for the rest of his life.

"…"

"…" For once, maybe Axel is also mortified???

"That's hot." Axel replied, a naughty smirk lacing his features, "I mean… I didn't even know you could do that on an escalator!" Axel exclaimed, now amazed and in awe.

"!!!" Roxas's cheeks flared, he had definitely thought too soon. Now he was going to be sick all week with dirty images.

……………………………..

"Hey babe, what store should we go to next?" Saïx asked, wrapping his arm casually around Xem's waist.

"Hmm… I'm not sure. How about -- the food court?" Xemnas asked triumphantly. His body never failed to help him out; oh, it knew him so well!

"Sounds good to me." Saïx nodded to himself. That sounded right to him; and they headed on down.

……………………………..

"Riiikuuu! I'm hungry!" Sora complained, hanging off Riku's shoulder like a bag.

"Sora, you just ate!" Really, how much can it take till this monster belly gets satisfied?

"Buuttttt I'mmmm huuuuunnnggrrrryyyyy!" Sora made his puppy-dog-pout and innocent-kitten-eyes.

"…" Riku tried to keep a straight face, and not let Sora win. He needed to set boundaries, dang -nab-it!

"…" More adorableness.

With a defeated sigh, Riku said "Fine."

……………………………..

Vrrrmmmm - screech – vrrrrrrrm – screech!

"For goodness sakes, Zexion, just pick a spot!" Demyx complained, tired of being a pest.

"Stop it, Demyx, I'm trying to focus!" Zexion growled, barely even coming out as a mumble, he was so focused on every turn being super precise.

"Oh, here we go again.' Demyx's voice gained a bitter tone, as he spit out his words. "So you can blabber all you want while I drive, but noooooooo, it has to be completely silent when you drive."

"Damnit, Demyx, shut up! Just shut up!" Zexion yelled, banging his hands down on the steering wheel in frustration.

"No! I'm tired of you being so pushy and hypocritical!" Demyx cried out, his face reddening the slightest bit from anger.

"…" Zexion was taken aback; that's the second time now that Demyx had really snapped at him.

"…" Demyx's eyes widened quickly, before looking down guiltily. That's the second time he'd snapped at Zexy today…

"…" Was he really that bad?

"…" Oh, Demyx, look what you've done! You totally just ruined your relationship with Zexion.

"Really? You really think so?" Zexion's voice cracked, as he peered up at Demyx from under his bangs hesitantly; not so much hurt as he was desperately curious.

"Sometimes." Demyx said, after a little surprised gurgle; not willing to look directly at Zexion's face.

"I'm sorry." Zexion looked down again, and put his hand out to touch Dem's shoulder, but quickly retracted it when he saw Demyx flinch. This action really hurt Demyx.

"Can we just find a parking space?" Demyx sighed, hugging his arms to his body.

They were silent the rest of the way until they finally found the perfect parking spot, so high above ground they were literally touching the sky. Demyx felt really horrible and wanted to make up and forget it ever happened, but he was too afraid he'd mess things up worse. Zexion was too busy wondering if Demyx wanted to break up with him to think of what to say.

Finally, they made their way over to the elevator to take them to one of the walkways to get into the mall. Zexion checked his clock… half past 3. Sora was probably having another snack.

"Food court." Demyx said, shyly glancing up at Zexion, and looking away all flustered when Zexion met his glance.

Zexion nodded, and they brushed hands as they slowly meandered their way to their destination, a smile coming to both their lips.

Fin! TTFN!

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry it took so long to update this. Between the crazy hours of guard preparing for our first competition this Saturday, mid terms before the quarter ends also this Saturday, and the only free time I have my brother kept kicking me off the computer. D: I'm sorry! Please, kick him for me?

Maybe you can smack some sense into my color-guard instructors while you're at it? Naw, I'm just yankin' your chain. I love them too much.

Thanks for reading!!! Love ya'll!

Have a great weekend!~
