Blind Faith
By Christine Lennoire
Sequel to "Notions"
Chapter Two: You Can't Break Me!
Everyone seemed to notice, even though nothing really changed. They always seemed to be snickering at the right moments, even if they never mentioned it or said anything to either of them. Zexion didn't care in the slightest, since they had always said things about him like that. For him, the reasoning had just changed, nothing more. Though none of them cracked up on him about his refusal to fight anymore.
Yet, Demyx seemed bothered by what other people said. He'd get all jittery when people looked at them funny or laughed around him. Zexion noticed this, and it bothered him. Everyone knew about Axel and Roxas, and yet they did nothing, because they all knew it was true. Maybe it was time to show them. Maybe then they would stop this stupid game. Then... maybe Demyx would stop being so paranoid...
That bothered Zexion for one reason. As a weak minded and paranoid person himself, it made him almost feel like Demyx was ashamed of him. It took a great toll on his self confidence, and he couldn't have this. He promised he was going to change now, and he was tired of running away and being weak... After all this time... it had been long enough. For a long time, he was so scared, and now he just wanted to become strong.
One day, when it was particularly bad, and Marluxia and Larxene wouldn't stop giggling, he decided enough was enough. Just when he wanted to burst out: screaming and shouting, someone had beat him to it...
"KNOCK IT OFF! Alright? Can you just stop! I know what you're doing... Well, LAUGH ALL YOU WANT! You won't... no... you CAN'T break me! I love him, dammit! Believe it, because it's true. Be jealous, but DON'T you DARE laugh!" Demyx shouted at the top of his lungs. For a long time, there was pure silence. No one dared to say anything after Demyx's outburst.
The Superior came in minutes later, completely unaware, and the meeting went on as usual. No one laughed and no one said anything. There weren't any comments either, the entire night. Zexion couldn't stop smiling the whole time. Remembering what Demyx said, he felt so much better, and he felt bad for ever doubting him in the first place.
After the meeting, Zexion rushed over to Demyx and practically dragged him away. The whole time, neither said anything. Zexion could sense Demyx's fear. He felt that maybe Zexion was mad because of his outburst. That made Zexion just want to laugh harder. In actuality, he had never been happier. Finally, he stopped at his room and practically pushed Demyx inside.
Demyx was about to say something... maybe apologize or something like that. But Zexion stopped all words with a passionate kiss. Demyx looked stunned beyond belief, but he looked just as happy as Zexion felt. Now that the thruth was out, they didn't have to hide, or feel degraded, like they had been ever since this whole ordeal started.
Not to mention their new understanding of their relationship...
No one could break them apart. They would be stronger then all the laughs and insults, glares and stares and snickers... as long as they believed, nothing else mattered, because they would be stronger than the others.
"Thank you, Demyx." Zexion smiled, releasing his lips.
"No... thank you." Demyx said, grinning wickedly.
Alright. There it is. Sorry it took so long. Hope you like it. I really did. REVIEW! Please! Thanks to everyone who already has... another wouldn't hurt! Well, until next time... REVIEW!
