HUZZASH THE DIVIDER LINE IS BACK IN ACTION. Too bad this chapter doesn't really need them... grrr. Anyways, sorry the update too so long, I've been kind of busy with getting back into the grove os school (still.) So I win't waste time! Onwards! And I re read this like fifty times to check the spelling and gramemr and the spell check hates me and blah blah blah so I blame it all on the spell checker! xD

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts is sadly, not mine.

For once in my life, I am utterly confounded by what is going on inside of me. It is the most illogical answer to why I have been acting the way I have, and why the staff of Bath and Body Works so frequently says this illogical thing.

Is it possible that I like Demyx?

"You are drawn to Demyx as much as Riku is to that mysterious kid that comes in here with that red head girl." Axel told me when I was pondering this, even though I didn't even say it out loud.

"He is not mysterious! I learned his name; it's Sora!" Riku shot at Axel, as he was already quite annoyed that he was losing to Axel in their chess game they were playing.

"Only because you overheard the girl call him that." Axel replied and moved his pawn diagonally to take Riku's knight. "You think you would have had him bedded by now, the way you are able to sweep everyone else off their feet." Axel teased making Riku narrow his eyes.

"He's different. Sora is so oblivious to anything in this store or around him, including me! He's a challenge, I can't think of anything to do since normally I have people trying to grope me left and right." Riku sighed. He stared at the chess board before moving his castle. "Check."

"I guess I am right. You have some difficulty when it comes to trying to get someone you actually like," Axel moved his queen to take the castle. "Check to you."

"I do not like him," Riku hissed under his breath and moved his king out of the way.

"I take Axel's side on this one. You could illuminate a whole building the way you 'brighten up' when he walks in with his friends." I said and saw that Riku had just put his King in a checkmate position. And Axel moved his knight into checkmate and won, for the first time in chess ever.

"Whoo! Winning the game is proof that Zexy and I are right!" Axel grinned and stood up triumphantly.

"I told you, don't call me that." I said with an edge.

"Oh yeah, sorry. Only Demyx can call you that." Axel smirked in my direction and when I opened my mouth to tell him a smart remark, Demyx happened to walk into our deserted store. Demyx had become quite a friend over the past couple of weeks, and frequently came to hang out here on the days where it was obvious we would have no customers because of the sunny weather. Demyx seemed to fit right in with them, and Riku eventually confessed that his name wasn't Jamal. Demyx didn't seem to have a problem with it, and when they got into playful arguments he would call him that, but today seemed different because Demyx had brought along someone. A girl in fact, and it was Larxene. The grasshopper woman from the first day I had seen him, and when I saw her standing next to him, I felt a growl escape from my chest.

No, I can't possibly be jealous of her. I'm not even sure if they are boyfriend and girlfriend. And even if they were, I shouldn't be jealous; it's not something logical to do.

"Hey everyone!" He waved cheerfully and then looked towards where I was standing behind the counter. "I hope its okay that I brought a friend today, Zexy!" Axel and Riku both glanced at me with smirks because I had long stopped trying to correct him. It was useless so I didn't want to bother wasting my breath.

"Yes, I remember her." I said, glancing at the clock to see that in 5 minutes Marluxia should be dancing in soon. Larxene cracked her gum, making me twitch because that sound was so aggravating. She looked at Riku and Axel and then sighed.

"Demyx, I don't have time for these losers can we go get something to eat now?" She blew a bubble and then popped it.

"What did you just say? We haven't introduced ourselves and you start with insults?" Axel narrowed his eyes at her.

"I can tell you're not worth my time." She shrugged and then looked at me. "Well let's get going emo kid, I don't have all day and I don't want to waste most of it having to hang around with you." I brushed her comment off, knowing that she would most likely get annoyed at my actions. And she did, because then her face hardened. I walked out and got up to them just as Axel and Larxene were started to get a bit physical. Demyx pulled her away before she pounced on Axel and Riku was holding the fiery pyro back, saying how if something were to happen to Axel, Roxas would blame it on him.

"Come on Larxene," he laughed nervously, grabbed her hand, and started to pull her away. My eyes narrowed without my knowing as I followed them out. "Ta ta losers!" She said and flipped them off. She was holding his hand. That was what I did. Demyx would grab my hand and drag me. Now he was holding that insect's hand?

Calming myself, I took a deep breath and kept following them to Applebee's, the place we have been going to for lunch once a week. Most of the time we would bring a lunch from home or eat at the food court, but then Demyx proposed that we go to Applebee's once a week. Marluxia said it would be fine with him, he didn't mind if I was late because I was doing something with Demyx. He put emphasis on the something.

Maybe I'm overreacting to the whole situation. It's not as if Demyx is mine, for lack of better terms. For all I know, they could be dating and then there wouldn't be any place for me to fit in would there? So I should just calm down, and be glad that Demyx is fine with me tagging along, because maybe he's just too nice to tell me he doesn't want to meet for lunch anymore. Is that possible?

"Yo, emo child, stop thinking about your pathetic problems and sit down." Larxene pointed her fork at me, as if she was going to stab me if I didn't obey. I looked at the table, not even realizing that we had been taken to our seats, and saw that Larxene and Demyx were sitting across from each other. The seat next to Demyx was left open. Is this a sign? Is there hope for me?

Why am I being so damn stupid about Demyx?

I sighed, trying to get the thoughts out of my head and took the seat next to Demyx, since that was where I was standing nearest to. Larxene's gaze flickered from me to Demyx, whose face was currently practically merged with the menu, and then she picked up her menu. Looking down at mine, I already knew what I was getting. I got the same thing, the cheapest thing, every week because I was saving my money for dorming at my college. I had gotten a scholarship, but the dorming fees were excessive so I have to save money. I don't want my foster parents to have to pay for me after all they have done. But I don't like to talk about that aspect of my life, which is why Demyx learned early on that if he were to ask about how my family was I would walk away from him.

"Zexy, I refuse to let you do that this week." Demyx's eyes gazed down at me, as I did sit lower than him.

"Do what?" I asked, even though I knew what he was talking about.

"Eat a salad. That's not nearly enough for you." He said as he gestured with his hands at me. "Isn't he skinny?" Demyx exclaimed to Larxene who merely nodded her head as she was engrossed in the menu sitting on the table.

"I have a high metabolism." I answered.

"So you must be hungrier than that! Look!" He reached down and lifted my shirt up to reveal my stomach.

Oh.My.God.

"You're skinnier than a stick!" Larxene looked up at his exclamation just in time to see him put his hand on my side. "Look, you're not even bigger than my hand, that's not healthy man." The shock finally started to seep out of my system as my face became the hottest it has ever felt. I then hastily pulled my shirt down over Demyx's hand, and then pulled his hand out from under my shirt.

"D-Demyx!" I stuttered as I looked around desperately for something to hide my face, but not be obvious about it. As I glanced around I caught this look on Larxene's face, but could not tell what it was without staring at her for too long.

"What? What did I do? I was just showing you how skinny you are." Demyx said, confusion written all over his face.

"Don't worry, Zexion, your secret's safe with me-" She smirked. "For now." I can only imagine what she is thinking as I picked up the menu. I do not like Demyx, I do not like Demyx, I do not like Demyx, I am not saying this like a silly little schoolgirl, I am logical, I am smart, I do not like silly, obnoxious, oblivious, nice, funny…cute…

Oh my God, I think I actually do like him.

But that's not possible! He's a guy and I'm a guy. He's older than me, he obviously isn't the brightest bulb in the box and so far the things he has done have no logic behind them. He is the most emotion-driven person I have ever met, and I like him? Him of all people? This is impossible, absolutely not possible, I'm just confused by the current situation I'm in, and as soon as I clear my thoughts I will realize that-

"Demyx that is the stupidest 'thinking face' I have ever seen," Larxene's remark broke through my thoughts and I looked over to see Demyx making a face as he stared down at his menu in concentration of what he wanted to chose to eat. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen in my entire life. Wait, did I just think that?

"Well, then why did you ask about what I was doing? Leave me alone!" Demyx pouted at her and then turned his attention to me with a goofy grin.

"If you don't want to buy it, then I'll buy it for you. I can't let you starve yourself like that because you're saving money. So tell me what you want, I just got paid, I have enough." I stared down at the menu, not wanting him to pay for me. It's wrong to ask someone to pay for something, but what if they are offering?

"I won't take no for an answer." Demyx said, his voice tinge with a bit of seriousness, so I took the hint and started to flip through the menu. The same waitress from last time, Olette came and took our orders, and after glancing at Larxene she hurried off. Larxene started a rant about her before something hit me.

"What is your job?" I asked, realizing I had never asked him that question before.

"Demyx is a wanna be band member who sucks at playing his instruments." Larxene said, taking a long slurp of her milkshake.

"I am not!" Demyx huffed and then turned towards me. "Actually, we're going to be playing tonight, would you like to come?" I shook my head. Loud music in a room full of people is not my idea of fun. Olette came back and put three French onion soups down on the table and then followed Selphie as she walked by. I could swear I hear them saying something about 'kid with blue hair' and 'guy with mullet.' But I chose to ignore it and took in the smell of the soup. Although three of them at the table was quite overpowering, I do like the smell. Although it did not quite smell as nice as Demyx did.

Larxene chowed down on everything like there was no tomorrow, and Demyx was only a bit slower than she was at engulfing all the food on the table. Mostly they argued as Larxene spat insults at Demyx and he tried to retaliate back, so I stayed out of it; leaving me to secretly wish that Larxene would go away so I could eat lunch with Demyx alone. After we were done, we walked our way back to Bath and Body Works, where Larxene said she didn't want to hang around morons all day and left to go terrorize the few people who decided to come to the mall today.

Demyx stayed and had a blast talking with Axel and Riku and having fun as I sat in the back with the toxic fumes, musing over my thoughts. I am no longer able to deny it, for if I did that would be the stupidest thing to do. I am indeed, infatuated by this man who has somehow been able to get me to blush and get flustered and upgrade from an emotional range of a rock, to an emotional range of a sea sponge. But what should I do about it? Better yet, what can I do about it?

okay next chapter things pick up! See, I couldn't jsut have like a line where Zexy is like 'oh I like him.' He's wayyy too smart to just think that up and not spend any time thinknig about it. And what's with Larxene? Well, she's jsut so cool and aggrivating I couldn't leave her out. Anywhos, things do pick up next chapter, and more cutesy fluff! hehe! And the plot yes, the plot Zexy has to think of because he must be smart about what to do about Demyx. Although if I was a writer who didn't care that much, I would just have him make out with him already. xD

So please review! OMG I got so many reviews on this, I love you all:throws Zexy plushies at everyone:
