Survival of the Fittest

Chapter 7


Shoving a shard of glass off the top of him, Zexion scurries to get away from the larger teens. He watches from the shadows of the coffee table as Hayner stands and makes his way to the kitchen.

Smirking to himself, Zexion turns without looking at where he's going. Hoping to head away from this mess only leads the slate haired male into further danger.

He trips over the tiny cord and stumbles into the awaiting trap near the corner. Lying on his face he pouts, "Way me?"

(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)

Peeling away the soaked pieces of napkin, Axel glances around only to be disgruntled. Sighing he begins to climb out of the waste basket. Throwing himself over the lip of it he grins to himself, for he's survived Hayner's molars. Dashing past the occupied teens, Axel hurries to the back rooms where surely the boys won't go at the moment.

He needs to plan anew and recuperate.

Skidding on the carpet around the corner his ankle snags on something. Tumbling into a roll he ends up underneath a wire net. Groaning he looks down to find himself lying upon another person. Axel hurriedly rises to his feet so that he can help Zexion up. The once pouting boy looks up at Axel with complete surprise wrote on his face.

The look is replaced by amusement. Zexion licks the pad of his thumb and drags it over Axel's cheek. The red head shoves the other away after a second and raises a thin red eyebrow. "What the hell man?!"

With a flushed face, Zexion turns away from him. "You had a piece of paper on you."

A devilish grin slips onto Axel's lips. "Well you look horrid." He crawls over and presses his lips to Zexion's. He moves away and smiles, "So when are we going to tell little Roxy about us?"

"The second Hayner kisses him."

"I can work with that."

(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)(_)

Demyx smiles up at his favorite person in the whole world. In response, Xigbar pecks the boy's lips before turning his attention back to the task at hand.

Xigbar squeezes the blonde's hand as they carefully make their way into the living room. Plenty of noise had come from here previously and they thought that they might just find the others here still.

Boy were they wrong.

Sora kneels on the floor picking up as many pieces of the chips as possible as Riku holds the bag. Roxas reappears and plugs in a cord connecting to a vacuum. As he moves it forward, Sora and Riku hop back up onto the couch.

Demyx turns his frightened blue orbs up at Xigbar, "You'd better start running' Dem. You don't wanna end up like Pence...dog food."

Nodding his understanding, Demyx swivels around and bolts away from the approaching Roxas. With Xigbar close behind him, the vacuum is just as close to Xigbar.

"X-Xiggy run faster!"

"You just keep running 'Kay?"

Tears sting at the younger's eyes as he rounds into a hallway only to hear his love's chilling screech of agony as he's sucked up into the turbine. But he keeps his word and doesn't stop his legs from moving.

Voices in unison yell at him from somewhere, "Demyx, no, go the other way!"

It's too late as Demyx slides into the very same trap just as Hayner looks down at them with an impish grin on his face. Hayner goes down on his knees and opens the top. Demyx looks at his weary mates.

"Get big again okay?"

Axel goes to stop the musician but Zexion stops him and shakes his head. "No Axel, he wants to do this. He'll kill you if he doesn't do this."

"Zex he'll die himself!"

Zexion merely shakes his head once more. He could hear the agonized scream of Xigbar as he died. He knows that Demyx is crushed and would rather die than continue without his love and that they can't sway him from the decision.

Hayner's fingers reach in and pluck up Demyx. Hayner slams the top back down and walks away from the cage hidden perfectly from anyone else who don't know that it's there.

Zexion sighs and rubs the taller's back. "Come on Axel, let's get out of here."

"Hayner'll be back."

"And?"

"And we'll die Zexion, got it memorized?"

"Shut it porcupine, I'm thinking."
