Feeling part 4: scared
Roxas and Axel were at their usual place. Roxas was licking his ice cream contently; Axel was staring at Roxas's stomach which was already showing a slight bump, his own ice cream melting onto his fingers. Roxas looked at him
"It's melting." He said
"Babies?"
"What?"
"Sorry- ice cream!" He quickly licked up the sea salt flavour. Roxas chuckled slightly. He finished his own ice cream and looked at Axel, watching him lick the ice cream slowly. Roxas licked his lips; this was reminding him of something. He chewed on the end of his Popsicle stick watching Axel's innuendo. He felt his hips twitch.
"Stop it!" He said. Axel turned to look at Roxas confused. His tongue still hanging out from being half way through a lick.
"Stop what?"
"...Thatt!" He said.
"Whaatt? Oh you mean this...?" He cocked an eyebrow licking the ice cream slowly from bottom to top.
"Yessssuh!" Roxas pouted. Axel chuckled
"Poor Roxy- trust me as soonnnn as we can I will definitely be treating you to some fun time." He winked "Got it memorised?" He grinned
"...yeah..." Roxas looked up at him blushing darkly "I'll never look at you eating an ice cream the same way again." He said. Axel chuckled.
"Right so it goes... G... F... G... B?"
"Nearly, Zexy!" Demyx said "Put that fingerrr hereee..." He said moving the violet-blue eyes boys middle finger slightly on a string of his own water controlling sitar. Zexion chuckled. "Now strum!"
"Ohh I hear it"
"Try it!" He smiled and Zexy played the simple chords and giggled when he got B wrong again. "Zexyyy!" Demyx laughed. Zexion tried it again getting it right that time.
"Shut that thing up, I have a headacheee!" Xigbar whined. Zexion and Demyx looked up at him. Demyx sighed and stood.
"I have to put it away now Zexy..." He said reaching for his Sitar.
"Wait Dem... Then go away Xigbar we want to play sitar!" Zexion defended. Xigbar looked at him.
"...,you want to play sitar?"
"Yeah! I do!" He said "Go to your room or something we were here first! If you have a headache, go to bed!"
"Get back to your lab experiments squirt." He got up and left.
"YAYY!" Demyx jumped back onto the chair next to Zexion.
"Right...G...F...G...B!" He smiled. Demyx clapped happily.
"You did it Zexy!" He smiled. Zexion chuckled.
"Ikkoo Demdem! Ohh! The cookies are ready!" He smiled, Demyx picked up the sitar so the short scientist could run to the kitchen; Demyx made his sitar disappear and followed him into the kitchen.
"Ohhh they smell greatttttt!" He sat on one of the stools and span around on it as Zexion plated the cookies and served them. He smiled happily and sat besides Demyx.
"Eat up!" He said and poofed up his Lexicon and began to read. Demyx nibbled happily on the cookie, still spinning on the chair
"Yyyyaaayyy!"
"You be careful on that chair Demdem kay?"
"I will Zexy!" He smiled, he popped a cookie into Zexion's mouth. "You have some too!" He smiled, Zexion blushed then smiled.
"I made them for you though.." he chuckled.
"And I wanna share them with you silly!" Demyx grinned. Zexion smiled and nibbled on a cookie watching Demyx eat them happily.
"Zexy's cookies are the best!"
Roxas was slumped on the sofa dozing off. He was waiting for Axel to return from yet another mission. What a pain. Zexion returned from one of his own assignments stumbling slightly. Usually, Saix would be awaiting their return, and on these occasions he would catch the falling member. A strange fact you wouldn't think was in his nature. However if you declared failure of the mission he would drop you at his feet and step over you. This time Saix was absent letting comrade fall and lay on the cold marble-like floor. The thud and squeak of his stumble startled the 6 month pregnant Roxas. Zexion lay panting, his breath steaming the floor by his mouth. Roxas heaved himself up and saw him.
"Hey Zex, you alright?" Roxas approached him as he nodded sitting up slightly.
"Ngh..." he winced grabbing his right arm.
"Rough RTC or what?"
"N-no rough mission... I think I've broken it..." He winced again
"Your wrist?"
"Yeah..."
"Let me see..." Roxas managed to lower himself to kneel. He gently inspected Zexion's wrist. He tried to move his hand manually but Zexion let out a loud whimper. Demyx heard this from down the hall and sped up his pace.
"Hey everything okay?" He said running to them.
"Zexion's broken his wrist!" Roxas said
"W-what?" Demyx rarely showed this expression. He dived to Zexion's side.
"I-I'm fine no. IX!" Zexion said throwing his head forward so his long fringe covered the tears dwelling in his eyes.
"Hey no you're not if you're hurt!" Demyx frowned. "Come on I'll take you to Vex, he'll fix you up!"
"I don't want to go to Vexen-"
"Are you crying? See you're not okay you're really hurt!" Demyx completely ignored Zexion's request not to be taken to no. IV. "Come on I'll help you!" He first pulled Roxas to his feet them helped Zexion stand.
"I don't want to be taken to Vexen!" Zexion said again looking up at the taller member. Demyx looked down at the rarely teary eyed Zexion.
"Well why not? He's only gunna fix your wrist!"
"...I... can't we go when... I've... stopped...?"
"Stopped?"
"...crying..." He buried his face in Demyx's chest. Roxas smiled suppressing a chuckle.
"...but you're hurting..." Demyx said "I'm sure Vexen won't care if you're crying or not right Roxas?" Demyx looked up at him. Roxas could only shrug. Zexion wasn't 6 years old. He was a very intelligent 16 year old man. He couldn't give him an answer he didn't honestly know.
"...Vexen told me it's immature to cry..."
"Well what a great sour puss!" Demyx said, Zexion smiled slightly, he couldn't help it. "Roxas, can you fix him?" He said.
"Nah, I don't have a clue. Maybe you should make Zexion laugh?" Roxas smiled.
"Yeah! Then he'll think you're crying with laughter!" Demyx chuckled. Zexion smiled again. "Okay, laughing, funny tickle—no you're hurting ummm." Zexion was already starting to laugh. Roxas watched him with curiosity. Having never heard Zexion laugh. "Right, I have an idea! Oh no... no wait... yeah it's gone... oops." This made Zexion burst out laughing. This was different from his battle laugh, softer, which a cuter bounce to it. Roxas sat back down on the sofa just as Axel RTC'd.
"Wheeyyyyyy nice laugh Zex." He winked. Zexion blushed but was still laughing at Demyx's fully serious expression, trying to remember his rapidly lost idea.
"Ohhhh well you're laughing now, let's go!" He smiled. Zexion nodded and no. IX helped him. Axel sat next to Roxas and put his arm around him.
"Heya Roxy and babas." He smirked. Roxas chuckled and looked up at the fire bender.
"Have fun?"
"Nah, its all fun and games until some fat dog in an odd red and blue suit goes and tells all the occupants and strange red fire man is gunna kill them all." He shrugged,
"Pete?" Roxas cocked an eyebrow.
"That's the freak" Axel chuckled.
Zexion was sat on the bed with his wrist in a sling whilst Vexen prepared the medication which would speed up the healing process. Demyx walked to him.
"Has it stopped hurting now Zexy?" He asked leaning against the bed.
"Yeah, I just can't move it yet." He smiled, his cheeks still pink. Demyx smiled, turning to face him, still leaning against the bed. He gently pinned Zexion's only free hand down to the bed.
"Can I ask ya something?"
"Sure Demdem." Zexion smiled again he only ever called him that when they were alone.
"What's this called?" Demyx, totally unaware of the gesture, planted a kiss on Zexion's lips. The violet-blue eyed boy blushed darkly, he would have gently pushed Demyx off, but Demyx was holding his hand down, a heartless having broken his other. Zexion let out a whimper through the kiss, his cheeks burning. Demyx broke off after what seemed like several hours. "I've seen Ax and Roxy do it loads." He said, still completely innocent. "...Zexy?" He kinked his head to the side, Zexion's expression did not change from the wide eyed blush. His eyes closed as he slumped backwards fainting. "ZEXION!" Demyx grabbed him before he ended up falling off the bed "VEXEN! VEXEN!" Demyx hadn't screamed louder in his life, nor had Vexen run faster.
"What's the matter no. IX?" He said
"Zexy- he... he feinted!" Demyx gasped.
"Ugh, weak, I'm telling you."
"What?"
"He's too weak, site of his own blood does this to him!"
"...He didn't feint when he bled badly last time."
"No but he cried!" Vexen scowled checking over the unconscious boy.
"...So?" Demyx stood up to him. "So what?" He shouted again. "YOU make him cry more than anything!"
"Well that's even worse isn't it?" Vexen growled back.
"What's wrong with crying!"
"He cries over spilt milk Demyx!" Vexen said. "He will not advance anywhere if he can only cry!"
"He was crying because he was in pain- heck my eyes water when I get hit hard enough."
"Pfft! Your element is water!"
"You're all dried up old man!" Demyx kicked his medicine tray over. "Even Axel whimpers, and Roxas!"
"Grow up !" Vexen snapped. Zexion woke and sat up. Zexion pulled himself off the bed. "! SIT DOWN!"
"Leave him ALONE!" Vexen found himself smashed against the wall by a wave of controlled water.
"Demyx!" Zexion ran to him gently holding the neck of the Sitar weapon.
"Zexion he-"
"I'm well aware of what he has said..." Zexion mumbled. Demyx made the weapon vanish and he hugged Zexion gently.
"What's going on here?" Saix walked into the infirmary.
"No. IV, No. VI, No. IX?" He said sternly.
"Damn it..." Demyx sighed "So totally uncalled for!"
"Answer the question Demyx." Saix rolled his eyes.
"Answer: why does Vexen have to be such a jerk to Zexion?" He said cockily.
"No. IV?"
"He attacked me!" He said playing the innocent.
"...No. VI?"
"I'm not sure what to make of it." He gulped. Saix raised his eyebrows. Demyx grunted at Vexen, practically disgusted.
"What is No. IIX teaching you?" Vexen snarled.
"Obviously smart stuff."
"Common sense." Saix corrected, knowing what he wanted to say
"Yeah!"
"What makes you say that Saix?"
"You were given strict orders by Xigbar to, in his words, treat Zexion with more respect you ass."
"They weren't strict-"
"In Xigbar's eyes, that was strict." Saix said. Demyx wrapped his arms around Zexion gently. Vexen couldn't reply. He grunted and walked out. The water bender sighed.
"What are we gunna do about Zexy's wrist?" He said.
"I'm sure there's something we can do." Saix sighed looking at the medicines Vexen was stood near. "Zexion are you aware of what he was about to give you?"
"Yeah... that blue one there... a needle is next to it use that." Demyx helped him back onto the bed. Saix gave him the medicine and left without a care for any reaction he may have. Zexion seemed nervous. He pulled at Demyx's arm, indicating him to sit on the bed. He did so, and Zexion pulled his legs up clinging to the water bender.
"What's up? Does it hurt?"
"It will do..." He shuddered.
"Why? Sa-" Zex put a hand over Demyx's mouth.
"It's supposed to Demdem, that's how we know it's healing..." A loud crack, then crunches came from the boy's fragile wrist as he winced and cried out burying his face back into Demyx's chest. He quietly held him waiting for his shaking and crying to stop. After about 15 minutes Zexion stopped convulsing in pain. Demyx didn't move.
"You... didn't answer my question..." He said softly.
"It's... a kiss." The violet-blue eyed boy blushed darkly remembering the soft touch of the blue eyed musician's tender lips. He sat up and looked up into those very blue eyes. "A kiss..."
"Kiss...? What is it?"
"A... g-gesture..."
"Well... you now I'm still not gunna know what it means so just tell me! Or I'll do it again- if you promise not to feint on me!"
"... Demyx..." The cloaked schemer did as his title says and blackmailed him "Do it again and I might tell you..." He smirked slightly. Demyx shrugged.
"Kay." And he planted another deep kiss on Zexion's lips. Zexion could now free his arm from the sling. His arms snaked around Demyx's neck as he broke off.
"It's a sign of affection..." He said quietly
"Really?" Demyx said sitting up, this would be the part he knew he was going to loathe. Demyx was naive not stupid. "So I can do that anywhere and it means that I really like you?" What? Zexions eyes widened
"...Y-yeah..." He shut his eyes tight. Demyx stood and picked Zexion up and carried him down the hall. Zexion looked up at the nocturn. Demyx set Zexion onto his bed and climbed on top "Bigger bed, I'm less likely to fall off you!" He smiled,
"Huh—" Zexion couldn't catch up with him for once, Demyx was already kissing at the schemers neck and collarbone. "D-dehh—" He arched his back "Demm..."
"Shhh..." Demyx giggled "This is fun!" He pulled down the zip of his coat more kissing at his chest.
"Demyxxxxxxx!" Zexion moaned, He chuckled and looked down at Zexion's crotch.
"Ohhh I know what that means!" He grinned grinding his hand against Zexion's quickly hardening crotch. His little hips bucked. "Do you like it?" he kissed his collarbone again. Zexion's back arched more. The nocturn opened Zexion's coat and started to unbutton his shirt. "You're so ikkle!" He laughed. He started to remove Zexion's trousers
"Ah! D-demdem!" He blushed
"Hey relax I got this!" He said determined. Did he really know what he was doing? Zexion was about to burst, he looked down watching Demyx undress himself. He climbed on top starting to grind his own hard crotch against Zexion's.
"I-I... ahhh!" He let out a long winded moan. Demyx held Zexion's legs in the air, this is where his familiar clueless look returned, he looked a little curious.
"I'm supposed to... put it somewhere..." he opened his legs more. "Looks a little small..." He gulped. Zexion gasped and looked away ashamed as he could hold back no longer, Demyx looked up and watched the smaller boy shake as he released all over his tummy and chest. He panted, blushing darkly. Demyx smiled, and was now blushing himself. He gently set Zexion's legs down and decided to finish the job and stroke himself, kissing Zexion's cheek. He tensed slightly and moaned in his ear letting his own fluids land on the smaller boy beneath him. He smiled at Zexion who whimpered again, his smile vanished slightly.
"You okay Zexy?" He said. Zexion nodded and shivered curling up. "Ohh I scared you I'm sorry!" He hugged him tightly.
"N-no it's okay... what you were about to do... is... a new experience for me... it's okay..." He gulped. He looked up at Demyx who put his hand on Zexion's cheek, stroking it. "...Do you love me?"
"Yeah Zexy! Course I do!"
"Good. I love you too." He smiled.
Twilight town was very busy, Roxas was wearing a baggy poncho to hide the slight bump, not only was he quite visible, but he also didn't own any shirts to cover his belly. He was borrowing one of Axel's shirts to keep his tummy warm in the cold weather. Axel held his hand leading him through the clothing store.
"Ah now this is cute!" He chuckled.
"Of course it's cute it has a flame on it." Roxas chuckled. He and Axel had picked out plenty of clothes, some of which were to grow in to; for the babies of course.
"Ouch look at this bill!" Axle laughed "Oh well..."
"...216987 munny? How did we manage that?"
"Well we had to buy cribs and stuff as well."
"Oh yeahh... Maybe we shouldn't have done all of this at the last minute."
"Last minute? I thought we were just doing it all now because it was fun?"
"No... Vexen said he won't let me out of the castle next week..." He sighed. He rubbed his belly under the poncho. "Hey!"
"What?"
"They're kicking..." He whispered and giggled, Axel pulled him out of view and lifted up the poncho and put both hands on his belly, Roxas blushed as both twins moved as soon as Axel's hand made contact with him. "They know it's you." He chuckled. Axel smiled absolutely mesmerised.
"Heya babas. Dads here..." he smiled.
