Last Time~

Where did you go Marluxia? Zexion thought to himself, holding the feather to his chest.

Zexion POV

He sat like that for a few minutes in silence, just clutching the feather. After a while, Zexion's brain finally processed that his doorbell was ringing.

The blunette set the feather down on his pillow, pulled on his shorts; still unbuttoned, and walked downstairs. "I'm coming!" Zexion yelled at the front door.

When he opened it, his brothers Riku and Kadaj were waiting on the doorstep. "Where have you been? We've been calling you all morning." Riku asked.

Zexion stayed silent for a second before replying, "Oh. I haven't checked my phone since I got home. It's probably somewhere on the floor of my room..."

Riku and Kadaj's eyes widened. "What do you mean it's-" Riku began. "Somewhere on the floor?" Kadaj finished.

Zexion shrugged. "My shorts were on the floor, duh! Maybe my cell fell out when he took them off..."

"Wait, wait, slow down. Who's 'he'? Start from the beginning Zexion." Riku said as he entered his younger's brother's house.

Zexion told them the story- plus Marluxia being an angel. The boys listened in silence, from when Zexion found Marluxia to when he woke up this morning, alone with a feather.

"Huh. I'm not sure what happened to him Zex. Are you positive he didn't just want you for sex?" Riku asked. "No. If he's really an angel, he could have anyone he wanted, but he chose me." Zexion argued.

"Maybe he's a half-demon." Kadaj suggested. Riku and Zexion stared at him with black expressions.

"I'm serious y'all! Think about it: angel wings are white. Demon wings are black. But Halfsies have white wings with black tips like your Marluxia did. Most half-demons become full demons because they've done something to anger God. Maybe that's what he did. At least that's what I've heard in stories." Kadaj explained.

Zexion pondered this. "You may be right Kadaj. But I'll never know until he comes back to me." Zexion sat on the couch, his hands covering his face.

"I still can't believe it. You might have had sex with a half-demon last night Zexion!" Riku said. "Ri!" Kadaj hissed as he sat next to his younger brother and shook his head.

POV Switch- Marluxia

"You two disobeyed the top two rules that govern my angels. NO consorting with humans OR Larxene's demons. You know this!" Namine reprimanded the two half-demons.

"Look Marluxia! Demyx's wings are turning black as well!" She pointed to Demyx's wings on his back and sure enough, the tips of his feathers were black.

Marluxia noticed them when he saw the blonde this morning. The wings, Demyx's saddened face, and messed up hair.

Flashback~

Marluxia walked into the Chamber of God with Namine. He saw Demyx's back turned to him, standing in the middle of the room.

Marluxia was told to stand next to him and wait for a lecture. he looked up and down at Demyx and saw everything.

"Demyx. You didn't...did you?" Demyx just turned his head and stared at the pinkette with empty aqua eyes.

"Shit. This is all my fault. If I hadn't wanted Zexion so much, you wouldn't have-" "No Marluxia. It's fine. You know how much I love Axel. It was our choice. Plus it got boring waiting upstairs in one of his guest bedroom listening to y'all," Demyx added with a smile.

Marluxia smiled back and hugged his best friend, then stood forward when Namine started talking.

End Flashback~

"I should banish you two for what you've done, but you are Marluxia's best friend and he is my favorite angel. You both have one chance. I don't want you to see that demon or the human again. Do you understand me?" Namine's face was red with controlled anger.

"Yes Namine," Marluxia and Demyx responded.

"Nami c'mon. Your stressed out. Let me give you a nice long bubble bath." Namine's angel servant/girlfriend, Xion, said, laying a hand on her arm.

Marluxia and Demyx glanced at each other and asked, "May we go?"

Namine waved her hand in dismissal and the two half-demons ran out of there. When they were out of hearing range, Demyx said, "I have to tell Axel. Larxene won't care if I see him."

"Wait Demyx. She said for us to not see Axel or Zexion again. Do you want Her to banish you?" Marluxia said, gripping his friend's wrist.

"I don't care what She does to me! What if She decides to hurt Axel?" Demyx suddenly burst out, jerking his wrist out of Marluxia's hand.

"I wouldn't be able to bear that..." the blonde angel said, quieter this time.

Marluxia sighed and his feathers twitched, "Fine. C'mon let's go. I think I know where I could find him." Demyx looked at the pinkheaded angel with a huge smile across his face and followed Marluxia down the hall and flew down to Earth to a strip bar.
