When Demyx awoke on his side, the first think he saw was a spiky red smudge in front of him. Being far too hopeful and optimistic, the young nobody smiled. When no voice was heard from the crimson blotch, Demyx said, "Axel?" in order to provoke a response.
"Finally awake, huh?" Replied a gleefully familiar voice by Demyx's feet.
A smile spread onto the young man's face as he turned his head to face where the voice had come from, rejoicing in Axel's well framed body being perched near the end of his bed on a chair. The happiness was soon replaced, as a frown sullied the features of the water charmer, as he tuned to face what he previously thought was his lover.

Now that his eyes had fully adjusted to the bright lights and strange surroundings, Demyx found himself laughing for the first time in, what felt like, years as his own stupidity and gullibility had made him believe that a smile spiky, red flower was in fact his Axel. The flower was nothing but a weed in comparison to the glorious fire tamer that had graced the humble presence of this nobody, shining his eternal flame upon this unworthy room, like a god within a rotting barn Or maybe the sleeping drugs were still wearing off

In any case, Demyx smiled at the other man, but then as his memories caught up with his emotions, the beam vanished.
"Long time no see " He stated coldly.
Axel sighed, hiding the pool of emotions in his eyes by looking down "Yeah but I didn't come here to exchange formalities "
As he said this, the pyro placed some documents on the bed for Demyx to have a look at. He recognised them immediately.
When Demyx showed no signs of responding, Axel tried to remain calm, however his slightly choked voice gave him away "Why didn't you tell me?"

Demyx simply closed his eyes, then sighed. "I don't I don't know, alright? It was the sort of thing-"
"You don't know? You mean you told me that you loved me, then abandoned me, and BROKE MY HEART all because you didn't KNOW?" Axel was shaking now, his knuckles turning white from the stress of trying not to break anything. "And all the while, I was doing THIS to you " He indicated to the hospital bed, with the IV next to it "How could you "
" I thought you would be better off not knowing the reasons behind it So I tried to change you myself"
Axel chuckled darkly, "Well it fucking worked I haven't smoked since. Saix is beyond pissed"

Frowning, Demyx asked "Saix? What's he got to do with it?"
"Don't think you were the only one keeping secrets" Grinned Axel, displaying anything but glee "Who do you think was the one supplying me with the goods? Who else would want to put me in a position that made me indebted to him? No-one but Saix "
Demyx paused " There's no way he would let you off free "
"Of course not" Axel's expression became darker "Do you remember all of those articles where innocents were killed and there was no reasoning behind it?"
"Yeah, I remem-" He gasped "You didn't!"
Axel shrugged "He had something I wanted, he wanted something I had; the power to kill without leaving a mark "
"Axel, that's awful "
He grimaced "And then to find out that what I did all those things for ended up doing this to you " He hid his face in his hands "It makes me feel sick "

"..." Demyx crawled closer to him, cupped Axel's face in his hands, bringing him out of his hands and sorrow, and kissed him.
Love. Passion. Longing. All of these things whirled round their heads as their kiss became deeper, making them feel whole once again.

Tired of holding back, Axel gently leant his lover back onto his hospital bed until he was lying on it, Axel on top of him. He let his tongue slide into the awaiting mouth, as his hands ventured to undress the growing impatient nobody underneath him. Every move was deliberate, delicate and driving them both wild, as they savoured every moment. Every muscle, every ligament and every part of tight skin was etched into memory by touch. Who knew making up for lost time felt sooo gooood.

Once both of them were fully undressed in all of their naked, masculine glory, Axel make the deciding move by first putting his index finger to the tip of the other's member, circling the rim, then plunging it into the awaiting hole behind, making Demyx gasp in a mixture of glorious pleasure and pain. Grinning, Axel swirled round the already inserted finger slightly, making the other moan softly before inserting another and being rewarded with another gratified sound from his partner.

Demyx didn't normally like having no control over what his body did, but as Axel slipped in a third finger, causing Demyx to wince before realising that he was in the capable hands of Axel, who seemed to be enjoying his mercy.

After playing with him for a little bit, Axel finally replaced his fingers with the real thins, and his member slipped inside Demyx's slowly, torturing him slightly for the months they had missed. He continued his pace, making him pay, but also tormenting himself for letting his pride get the better of him for too long.

It wasn't until Axel found his baby's sweet spot that he picked up the pace, continuously ramming it, sending Demyx into spasms of ecstasy with each well aimed thrust.

This was what life was all about. And as their passion progressed and was gratified over and over again, they couldn't help but think that in the end, everything will work out, because they were blessed.

But something was already working away at Demyx's system, eating away at him while he was to blissfully in love to notice. The clock was ticking, and Demyx's was running low on batteries.
