Summary:
Demyx, a teen who was disliked by his family for being Bi and not going to church, saw some one collapse in an alleyway one stormy night.
Zexion, a vampire who came to Project Springs to escape his past, collapsed in an alleyway one stormy night looking for food.
This is their story.
Chapter 6:
Instead of going to the cafeteria, I headed outside. Zexion naturally followed me. Outside, our school tried to look its best, so there were many gardens and such out there. I led him around to where a stone picnic table sat under the shade of a huge tree. Bushes circled the area, hiding it from view. During the spring, they flowered.
Larxene sat on the lowest branch of the tree, texting on her phone. She flipped it shut as she noticed us and jumped down. Marluxia came from one of the two trails that lead here. Following behind Marluxia was Sora.
Sora was a relatively short kid with chocolate colored hair that spiked everywhere and bright blue eyes. He had a very bright personality, and was often optimistic. He wasn't really the type who Larxene, Marluxia and I hung out with. Heck, I wasn't really the type to hang with Larxene and Marluxia too. I was also very bright and bubbly, but I could also be cold, shallow and sarcastic. Like I was when talking to or about my parents. Sora couldn't show that side of him at all. He had first met Marluxia and Larxene when he attached himself to me in eighth grade, two years ago. From me, he made his way into both Larxene's and Marluxia's heart. Thus causing him to constantly hang with us.
"Okay, since everybody is here… This is Zexion. Zexion you've already met Marluxia. I think you met Larxene and this is Sora." I waved my hand to each person as I mentioned them.
"Hi!" Sora happily replied. He sat down at the table, and put his lunch tray on it. Then he bit into an apple. Marluxia leaned on the table to the right of Sora. He grabbed some French fries from Sora's plate. Larxene walked over to the table and sat on it. She too took some French fries. Sora didn't mind, half his tray was French fries just for us. He had the money.
"Hi, I believe we had the pleasure of meeting in the office." Larxene spoke once she swallowed her French fries. She looked at him, her eyebrow raised. "You emo or something?" Marluxia stifled a chuckle.
"He would fit right in with out group. My hair is pink and naturally curly like this. Your hair is naturally like that, Demyx's hair is like a mix between a mullet and Mohawk. And spiky has… well, spiky hair." As he mentioned 'spiky', he ruffled Sora's hair. Who in return glared at him. We all kind of treated Sora as a little brother.
"So… is it natural or not?" Sora finished his apple.
"I say its natural! Same for the colors. It would take too much work even trying to dye hair like that, and not make a mistake."
"It's natural." Zexion replied completely ignoring Sora's remark. Larxene jumped off the table. Kind of how a kid jumps off a swing set. I walked over to where Sora was.
"Really?" She stepped up to him. She then ruffled up his hair, in which Zexion got annoyed. "Well, what do you know? Zexy's hair really is natural." Zexion twitched at being called 'Zexy.' Marluxia, Sora and I all stuffed French fries in our mouths to stifle laughter. The look on Zexion's face was… priceless. It read so many things at once, from 'stop touching me…' to 'what the hell, lady?!'. I decided to save him. Before I could say anything, Marluxia opened his mouth. This couldn't be good.
"Hey Larxene, didn't you have some questions to ask him?" Zexion looked up at her. He was so adorably short compared to her! It was cute… I felt my face become red at that thought. Marluxia saw and I think he thought it was because of the questions…. Oh shit! Those questions.
"Yeah. Hey Shorty, wha-"
"Umm, Lar, Sora was looking at your phone!" She froze, and then turned. Sora paled, and glanced at the offending piece of plastic that Larxene had set down when she sat on the table. Everyone knew that you didn't look at her phone unless you had a death wish. I moved far away from Sora, as did Marluxia. Zexion looked over at me.
'Thanks.' He mouthed. 'That's three times.' Three times? Oh, three times that I've saved him… I shook my head. He gave me a soft smile. Instantly my mouth felt dry and I looked away. That funny feeling came back. I could also feel that damned blush slowly spreading to my face.
I turned my attention the new entertainment. Larxene tiring to catch Sora, who was pulling all the tricks in the book. Run around the table, duck under the table, climb over the table, and finally he had enough sense to use the table as leverage to climb up into the tree. Where he then hid in the leaves where Larxene wouldn't be able to find him. She huffed angrily. I could feel Sora glaring at me.
Now, Larxene shifted her attention to me. Why, I had no idea. She narrowed her eyes. "Since when have you worn wristbands Demyx? You aren't cutting yourself, are you?" I had a feeling from the tone of voice she just gave me that if I said I had cut myself she would have chased me like she did Sora. I was pretty sure Marluxia wouldn't save me, and Sora probably wouldn't let me up in the tree. I noticed that Zexion stiffened.
"Umm… you see… it was an accident. Uhh.."
"He was helping me, and he fell. He cut himself in the fall." Zexion's velvet voice cut off my bad lie. His face betrayed nothing. It didn't show that he was lying or anything. I was amazed. "He hid the cut under a wristband because he didn't want you to know. He figured that you would blame it on me." I blinked at Zexion. He continued the lie and he managed to make it sound true, even to my ears. Heck, that sounded like something I would do too. Larxene shifted her gaze to Zexion to see if he was lying, but he met her glare with a collected look.
"Well, be more carful." She spoke finally. I nodded my head, and the lunch bell rang. I looked at the tray and grabbed a few more French fries quickly before leading Zexion away to the rest of our classes and my torture.
For those of you who dont understand why Demyx added 'and my torture' is because... imgaine havign to sit next to your crush throughtout the whole and havign to converse with him/her. i would die. I woudl liek to thank my friend who brought that to my attention.... you see... he has a MAJOR crush on me. Problem... yes. i don't liek him... the feeling i have for him are like hes my brother. i've known him since.... fourth grade. So, he had brought it up when i mentioned how i was going to have Zexion go to school with Demyx and share all his classes. Then my friend mentioned about stuff, and i brought it into the story. Thsi may be my friends way of sayign i like you more than a friend... but i thnk i've made my self clear that i have no feelings for him that way. so what did he do? He went out, found a girl I HATE WITH THE BURNIGN FLAMES OF HELL AND STARTED TO DATE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ignorign that point.... the main point was.... i got the whoel 'and my torture' from him.
Do we really have to place a disclaimer on every chapter.... you would think that if i said i don't own this in the first couple of chapters that it would stand through the whole story... i mean what is someone gonna put 'i don't own this' on the first three chapters then change to 'i own this!'? no, i don't really think so. if its allright with people... i think i'm gonna stop with the disclaimers. So i'll do it one last tiem right noe.
I DON'T OWN KINGDOM HEARTS AND I NEVER WILL! I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR ANYTHING! THIS DISCLAIMER STANDS FOR THE REST OF THE STORY!
