AN: Ughhh, I just had two tests today and I have two tomorrow. And on top of that, I have mad homework. I should really be working, but you know…

Chapter Seven: Subliminal Messaging
AXEL POV
So now that Demyx and Zexion were an "official couple," as they called it, Axel couldn't help but be jealous. He and Roxas weren't getting anywhere! He'd been meaning to confess to the adorable blonde for a while now, but he couldn't find the right moment, amidst this and that happening. Life these days; it was all just too hectic.
Watching the two lovebirds was like watching horny bunnies. They were always…touching. Axel shuddered at the though. Mind you, he was a fan of some, or a lot of, physical contact himself, but watching the two touching each other was just weird. Ewwie. Axel had known Zexion all his life, and the latter was never that intimate with someone. He wouldn't be surprised if Demyx was Zexion's first time, if you catch my drift.
Demyx had gotten as close to Zexion in just a couple of weeks as it had taken Axel years to get, and then some. That's…kind of unfair. Demyx's closeness to Zexion succeeded that of Axel. Of course, because Axel and Zexion, his best friend, had not done it, while Axel was sure Demyx had with Zexion, seeing how close they currently were.
As Zexion and Axel drove to school together in Axel's car, —they were neighbors—Axel had brought this subject up. "Zex. Why, oh why, are you opening up to Demyx so quickly? I mean, really. It took me all of like…many years to get that close to you. Like so many years that I can't count. Or I'm just too lazy to try. But just what the hell is going on here?"
The slate-haired teen had responded quietly after having a thoughtful expression on his face. "I don't know. It's just something about him…Something makes me want to let him in."
"Aww, well isn't that schweeeeeet?"
"Shut up. And you have no room to talk, Axe. You and Roxas have been getting pretty buddy-buddy lately…"
oOo
Then at school, Axel had tried to have a private talk with Zexion again.
"Hey, uhhh…I need help."
"We all know you do, Axel. I've been meaning to find you a psychiatrist for a while now, but I just couldn't find the right one."
"No! Stop being mean! And that's really interesting coming from you. You emo boy."
"Axel, it's okay to be ashamed. The first step is admitting it. We're going to take baby steps here. I'll help you throughout everything. And I'm not emo!"
"You jerk, I meant about Roxas!"
"Oh, do you want to go to the psychiatrist with Roxas? I'm sure since you two are such close friends, he could be there for moral support."
"No, I have an issue, douche."
"First of all, I know you have issues. Many of them, actually. But I'm done playing; what is it?" Zexion asked after letting out a long sigh.
"Heh…yeah, sorry. I just need to find a way to confess my feelings for him."
"I'm sure Roxas likes you back, Axel. It's so obvious. So you may put your mind at ease."
"You really think so? But still, I have to officially ask him out…"
"Do what you want! I'm sick of everyone pulling at me all the time for advice! And I wasn't joking when I said I was looking for the proper psychiatrist for you!" the seemingly emo teen answered, promptly walking away afterwards.
"Whoa…male PMS much?" Axel stood there, just blinking while frozen in place, a little dumbfounded at Zexion totally going apeshit on him.
oOo
At home that day, Axel lay on his bed. He just wanted to ponder for a moment. It was peaceful, somewhat. So serene—
WHAT THE HELL WAS HE GOING TO DO ABOUT ROXAS?
He wanted to ask him out and make his claim on him so no one could take him. After all, Axel knew for a fact that the blonde was popular amongst the sophomores—with both guys and girls. But for some reason, Roxas kept rejecting them, telling them he had someone else in mind. Great, more competition, the redhead thought. Who is this Mr. or Ms. Perfect that Roxas is holding out for? I bet I could make him disappear from Hollow Bastion forever…maybe even from this world! My uncle knows a guy who can do that…I have such nice connections…Oh, wait. What if it's a girl? I can't be that cruel…
Ah! He just wanted to solve this problem, soon! Axel had so much on his plate, with his mom bitching at him all the time, all the homework he needed to do to higher his average, which was a D or C in most classes. But he now knew he couldn't go to Zexion for help. The bastard was male PMSing, and Axel didn't want to be lashed out at yet again. He was just too sensitive for that. Axel was really a softie on the inside. Psh, Zex's supposed to be my best friend. Now he's too preoccupied with Demyx to pay any attention to poor me. You'd think his moods would get better after he got some sexual relief. I always assumed his bad moods before he met Demyx were from sexual frustration. Geez, what am I gonna do with this guy? Hell, what am I gonna do with Roxas? Well, I know what I want to DO with him (wink wink, subliminal messaging)…but before I can violate him, I need to ask the kid out!
So. What to do, what to do?
After what seemed like hours of thinking, Axel finally came up with a good plan. Of course, he also lost the time he needed to do his homework and ended up staying up until 3 am, but hey. Anything for Roxy, right?
oOo
ZEXION'S POV
Shit! Why was everyone always pulling on Zexion? This was not a game of tug-of-war. Why did he have to be born with the gift of giving such good advice? Why?! All he wanted to do right now was relax with Demyx. Relax and feel no stress. Just as he was thinking, the blonde that was on his mind burst through his door.
"Hey, Zexy! Hope you don't mind me just bursting in like this," Demyx said, all smiles.
"Hi, Dem. Can we just like watch a movie together or something? I'm so tired from everyone pulling on me all the time."
"Aww, you're right. Axel and Marluxia always stealing you away from me these days. We need some alone time. I'm sure we'll have a rollicking good time tonight."
Zexion did not catch the subliminal messaging hidden within Demyx's last sentence. As he got up and leaned over to pick out a movie from the rack, Demyx lightly squeezed his ass. When Zexion growled, the mull-hawked boy giggled. The slate-haired teen immediately forgot about the movies and grabbed his boyfriend into a kiss. Their actions just got naughtier and naughtier from there…
AN: I shall leave that ending up to your imagination. I'm no good at lemons. I mean, I haven't actually tried, but I'm just assuming that I'm going to be totally bad since I haven't tried. Next chapter is going to be both Axel's and Roxas's POVs I think. It's the confession scene. (:
