"I don't want it to be just a statement; I want it to be the truth!"
My heart raced as I heard the words over and over in my mind. His voice was like liquid, oozing gently over them as he spoke them, even in my mind they were like fluid. With a gentle shudder I cleared my throat as I left the school, the day was over, and I was gonna head back 'home.'
I sighed at the single thought of it, I didn't like the place where I lived; I lived in an orphanage because my parents gave me up at birth. They either didn't like me, or they didn't want me. Lex wasn't my birth brother, but I considered him family since I grew up with him. But I didn't personally like him since he always treated me so terrible.
"Demyx!" I heard Zexion cry from behind me, we were a few blocks from the orphanage and I felt my heart sink a little, I didn't want him to know that I lived in an orphanage; it was frightening as it was for me to sleep there and wake up to…
I shuddered away from the nightly torture and plastered a smile on my face as I turned to him. My heart began to erratically beat in my chest and I took a deep calming breath. "Hey Zexion, I didn't know you went this way," I said smiling.
He beamed up at me and I chuckled softly, "Yeah, I live like down the street from the orphanage up here," he replied, his voice far more cheerful than earlier today.
I felt the blood drain from my face, "Oh? I didn't know that," I replied, quickly shoving away my discomfort. He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah," his smile slowly vanished and the melancholy stare that I had grown accustomed too returned. I smiled and he looked up at me curiously.
"Does something amuse you?" he asked inquisitively.
I shook my head, "Not amuse," I replied softly as we walked, he stared at me out of the corner of his eye, and I gently nibbled on my lip before he quickly grabbed my wrist.
Once I stopped he grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me down to his eye level and pressed his lips against mine. I blushed but kissed him back enthusiastically, grabbing his waist and pulling him close to me.
I could feel him smiling beneath my lips and I couldn't help but smile back. He released my shirt and slid his arm around my neck.
He gently pulled back and stared up into my eyes with a small smile and I gently licked my lips. He chuckled softly and pulled away, letting his arm fall away from my neck and looked up at me smiling lightly. I stood up straight and smiled down at him, "Do you feel better now, Zexion?" I asked teasingly, he winked playfully.
"For now," he replied before turning away and walking quickly up the side walk of the house before us, "I'll see you later," he replied before slipping inside.
I smiled slightly before looking down the street, at the end of it was the orphanage in which I lived.
I groaned and continued walking down the street to the orphanage.
