Excuse the extremely long wait for an update. I wasn't sure if I would go back to fanfiction, but a friend of mine inspired me to do so :3. As always, I no own. Yet. Enjoi! ~~Kiddie

Namine and Kairi sat outback on a shaded swing, eating their sea-salt ice cream and laughing with each other. Axel stared at them through the blinds of his room, sighing. God, he thought, why am I such an asshole? At least Namine looks like she's feeling better...

He let go of the blind he was holding down with a snap, turning around and sliding down the wall beside the window, sitting there. "She deserves him way more..." The redhead thought aloud, closing his green eyes and clenching his fists white. "Why is there always something in the way?"

Axel stood up slowly and walked out of his room, grabbing his black jacket and keys on the way, walking out of the house and climbing into his car. He ignited the engine and tore out of the driveway, going way passed the legal limit.

He didn't know where he wanted to go, but he left.

After cruising around the island for an hour or so, he ended up at the not-so-popular coffee shop, Treble Clef Cafe, where Demyx often performed with his not-so-popular band: ...LSD With Me.

Coincidentally, Demyx was sitting alone on the usually empty performing podium, playing a few melancholy cords on his guitar and looking glum. Axel could hear the employees laughing and talking from the break room. The redhead raised an eyebrow at the rare sight of Demyx not being an equivalent to a squirrel on espresso.

The redhead walked over to him and sat beside him, meeting stagnant water eyes. "So, uh...Hi. What's wrong?"

The blond shrugged his shoulders weakly and strummed his guitar, playing the main melody to Every Breath You Take by The Police. Axel blinked for a moment, before understanding.

"He broke up with you?" Axel asked, expressionless, but his voice full of frown.

Demyx nodded slowly and sat his guitar down, leaning over to the redhead and hugging him tightly, losing whatever mature features he had. He looked pitiful as tears flowed down his face like a flooded river.

Axel looked a little unsure about hugging him back, but he did it anyway. "It's, uh... gonna be alright. You'll see..." He scratched the back of his head, awkwardly silent now.

The musician shook his head and closed his eyes, dismissing whatever optimistic comments Axel would try to say to cheer him up.

"Well, okay... Um... Are you up for talking about it?"

Demyx sighed and finally spoke, his voice broken to pieces. "He... uh... said that he took me for granted... and that I made the relationship way too easy for him..." He wiped his bloodshot eyes and continued. "He needed a challenge, he said. Like... h-he would be more satisfied with a deck of cards for solitaire or a long book."

Axel narrowed his eyes and shook his head, shoving Demyx gently, as if to say "Get ahold of yourself!"

"If a relationship is just a game to him...then you're better off without that prick." Axel clenched his fist in the air, to emphasize his point.

"I know, I know... but I loved him so much! He makes me feel like... I'm not as stupid as I actually am. He saw me for me. And I really thought he loved me back. But apparently not." He sniffled and wiped his nose on the sleeve of his jacket, looking like a 6-year-old.

"You could do so much better, Demyx...like," He paused, "Xigbar! You know him, right?"

Demyx batted his lashes, a little surprised. "Xigbar? Yeah, I know him. He's kinda cool, I guess. But he smokes too much." He laughed a little, but it came out sounding like a hiccup.

"Yeah, I know...he needs to stop with that. I've told him a million times. But anyway, what do you think of him? He's not much, but he's a nice guy. Has a way better personality than Zexion..."

"I've never really thought about him as, well, dating material. But now that you mention it, he is kind of handsome..." Demyx trailed off, that cute little glimmer returned to his eyes. Axel smirked at him, feeling a tad victorious. Maybe he could set those two up!

"But right now, I don't think I'll be dating anyone for a while." The blond said, the twinkle disappearing quickly.

Axel deflated. "That's alright, I think he can wait..." He leaned over and whispered to Demyx, beaming. "Xiggy has quite the little crush on you, by the way. He thinks your ass is adorable." Axel now had that mischievous-kitty-face, watching Demyx's face redden.

Author's Note: I was originally going to have Axel and Demyx talk through song, but I couldn't find any songs that corresponded with their situation. (SITUATIONS ARE IRRELVANT NAO SHE LOVES THE WAY THAT I TEASE I LOVE THE WAY THAT SHE BREATHS lol ETF) So uh, yeah. ~~Kiddie
