Note: There is a little AxelxDemyx action in this. Not too bad, but there still is. I know this fic may seem like a AxelxDemyx fic but, trust me, it isn't. It's just something I have to write to get to where I'm trying to go with this. So, don't worry. :D

Chapter 4

When we got to the ice cream parlor, Roxas rushed out of the car to go inside and see what kind of ice cream they had. Unfortunately, it left me and Demyx in the vehicle, alone. Normally, I wouldn't mind being alone with Demyx, but today was different. It just seemed weird. Maybe it was because I was unaware that I was holding his hand earlier, but whatever. The thing was, it was very awkward.

"Well," We both started at the same time and then stared at each other as if waiting for the other one to finish what they were saying.

"You go first." I said towards the blonde.

"Nah," He started, "You probably have something more important to say, so go ahead."

"Not really."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"Your hair's so red."

"Hey! Don't change the subject!"

"I wasn't. What are you talking about?" He started rubbing his hands through my hair, which he knew I hated, and I kept attempting to pull his hands away. After a while of acting like complete idiots, he grabbed both my hands and stared at me weirdly. I knew Demyx for a long time and I never saw him give me the look that he did.

I meant to pull my hands away but I froze. It felt like I couldn't move. I think he took that as an 'okay' to go ahead and do whatever it was that he wanted to do.

He started to lean forward to kiss me but I managed to move my head back so his mouth couldn't reach mine. "Demyx," I whispered, "Not here, okay? This is too weird at the moment."

"Hurry up!!" Roxas' voice shouted from outside the car. Demyx gave me a sad look that was quickly changed into a happy smile.

"We should do as the kid says, right?" He said cheerfully before letting my hands go and getting out of the car. Shortly after him, I got out as well and we walked into the ice cream parlor.

When we got home, Demyx just stood by the door like he wasn't allowed to be in the house, which we both knew was a bunch of bull shit, considering he always came into the house uninvited all the time. He never even knocked anymore.

"That ice cream was so good!" Roxas shrieked as he jumped on the couch.

"Hey!" I shouted at him. "Don't jump on the couch, idiot!" I pulled him off the couch and he pouted and sat on the floor to watch Spongebob Squarepants. I was about to turn towards where Demyx was when I felt two arms wrap around my waist and a head rested on my shoulder.

"Let's talk in your room." He whispered against my ear which gave me the chills. He then let go and walked up the stairs and towards the direction of my room. I turned towards Roxas and I could feel my face becoming almost as red as my hair, which probably looked pretty funny considering my hair is really red.

"Roxas," I started, while noticing that my voice went up a few octaves than usual. I cleared my throat and continued, "I'll be right back. I have to go do something in my room."

"Can I come?" He jumped up excitedly.

"No." I replied before walking off. When I got halfway up the stairs, I looked down to see if Roxas was staying, and surely enough, he was back to watching Spongebob. I continued my way up and walked into my room.

When I got inside, I saw Demyx staring out of the window as if it was the first time he ever really looked out of it. "Shut the door." He said and I obeyed hesitantly.

"Okay," I started, "What's your deal, Demyx? You've been acting very weird, late-" I was cut off by lips pressing softly onto mine that tasted of cigarettes mixed with strawberry ice cream. He pulled away and leaned in for another kiss, which I allowed because I was too frozen to do anything about it. After a few soft, short kisses, I started to give in and kiss back. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and I wrapped mine around his waist as we kissed. It was weird to be kissing my best friend, but at the time, it felt right and good. His tongue explored my mouth which tasted like cinnamon. Who knew that you could tell what a person ate by just kissing them. It was kinda neat.

He gently pushed me onto my bed which was behind me and he climbed ontop of me and continued to kiss me. We parted for breath and he started to nibble on my neck which made me let out a little moan. He kissed where he bit and kissed his way back to my mouth. I could feel his erection press against the lower part of my stomache and it brought me back to reality. "R-Roxas is downstairs..." I stuttered while feeling my face grow hot.

"He'll be okay." Demyx muttered as he sucked on the skin of my neck once more.

"I'm s-serious, Dem!" I shouted between moans.

"What's going on?!" A voice shrieked from the door way. I looked up to see Roxas looking horrified at the sight of Demyx on top of me. Demyx got up and sat on the bed beside me.

"Nothing, Roxas." I said while sitting up.

"Was he strangling you?" Roxas asked as he ran over by my side. "If he was, I'll kill him! I'll make sure he never hurts you again!" He gave a really mean glare towards Demyx and then turned back to me.

"He wasn't hurting me." I said as if it was the stupidest thing in the world, which it really was. I mean, seriously! This kid was just too innocent. Maybe it was because he was only 6, but I don't know.

"Then what was he doing?" He asked innocently.

"He was...." I started and then looked over at Demyx for help.

"I was saving him because he was choking." He said simply. Roxas seemed to believe this and then walked towards the door.

He turned around and said, "Are you guys coming? I'm hungry."

"Didn't you just have ice cream?" I asked out of annoyance.

"Yeah, but it wasn't as filling as you thought it was."

I sighed and said, "Okay, I'll be down in a minute to make you food."

"Okay!" He said happily before running out of the room and down the stairs. I turned towards Demyx and he kissed me again, lighter and very quick this time.

"So...?" He questioned, looking at me. I stared back blankly because I had no idea where he was going with that. "Are we together?" He asked after a couple of minutes of cluelessness.

"I guess." I said with a little laugh out of embarrassment. I was never one to talk about relationships out loud. I just thought it to be kind of weird. Maybe because it was my first real relationship with anyone.

"Mmkay." He said before kissing me lightly one more time. "Let's go down stairs to eat. I'm hungry." We both couldn't help but laugh at that. He stood up and took my hand and we walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"You go hang with Roxas," I said while opening the fridge. "I'll make food."

"Okay." He replied and walked out of the kitchen and into the living room. I pulled out ingrediants to make nachos, which I did an excellent job on, might I say.

We ate in silence except for the loud, obnoxious voice of Roxas repeating quotes from Spongebob. "I knew no good would come from city folk and their flying machines!" He shouted in his impression of an old man voice, which wasn't very good. But it was worth a try, I guess. Demyx sat near me and our legs brushed from under the table. It made me blush slightly but I pretended not to notice.

After a while of eating nachos, his hand brushed against mine from under the table and we held hands. Roxas didn't notice anything though as he continued to go on about some old guy named Old Man Jankins, or something like that.

The front door opened up which made me and Demyx quickly pull our hands away. My mom would kill if she found out me and him were dating now. She wouldn't ever let him stay the night anymore.

"Hey, kids!" She shouted happily. It was obvious that her and Cassandra were drunk. "The date was a sucess!" She giggled madly. "We're going out again tomorrow night."

"Yep." Cassandra agreed while giggling. "They were so nice."

"They were." Then both Cassandra and my mom went off into a giggling fit as they sat down on the couch.

"I'm glad you had fun." I said over their laughter.

"Honey," My mom called, "Can you drive Cassandra and Roxas home? I think she's too drunk to go, herself."

"Yeah." I said while standing up and picking up the car keys that were on the counter. Demyx followed close behind while Roxas walked by his mom to make sure she got in the car alright.

So, there you have it. Once again, I'm sorry if you don't like the couple of AxelxDemyx but it needs to be done so everything can go along smoothly in the fic. Don't worry too much about it :D

The next chapter will be another time skip. This time skip is going to be longer. I think it's about 6 years later. So, Axel will be 24 and Roxas will be 12 years old.

I hope you liked it and please review :)
