I have an author experience to share with you readers! (aka an look into what I do when not writing for fanfic) Today during this running test we had to do, this extremely attractive (REALLY HOT) guy I like took off his shirt and I was like omggg eye candy! xD

Disclaimer: This is based on true events. Some names may have changed to protect the innocent. (I'm joking ya know, I don't own.)

Oh yeah, adn this chapter is well just... I wrote it mainly for myself... I can not longer stop the Zemyx fangirl inside of me so now a lot more interaction between them wil lbe gonig on (evil grin).


My birthday happened to land on a Friday, so the next day was Saturday. Perfect day for my, I can't believe I'm going to actually name it, ultra super secret breakfast meal.

Also known as a lot of smores.

As I sat finishing my 10th Sudoku puzzle while waiting patiently for the smores I had put in the toaster oven to be the perfect level of crispy yet chewy, the phone rang. Reluctantly, I pulled myself out of my chair and shuffled my way towards the phone.

"Hello," I said dully, expecting it to be someone like my mother or maybe even Axel.

"Hey, Zexy!" I almost dropped the phone as I heard his voice and suddenly felt very hot. I knew it was stupid to feel strange that I was talking to Demyx in just my blue cotton pajama bottoms without a shirt, but I still felt quiet awkward.

"Oh, hello Demyx." I answered, concealing the surprise in my voice as I made my way over to the toaster oven to turn it off.

"Hey, hey, are you doing anything today?" He asked obviously not trying to conceal his excitement about the new day.

"No." I opened the door to the toaster oven and pulled out the tray with the smores on it with a fork to let them cool just a little.

"Want to hang out at the beach?" I shifted my weight to my other foot and scratched the back of my head. To the beach? When was the last time I had gone to the beach? Maybe when I was eight, right before my mother got her big break in her business that makes her now unable to spend time at home. "Come on, it'll be fun! I asked Larxene and Luxord and your friends if they wanted to come too! And then I have a show tomorrow, want to come to that too?" I stared at my smores as they no longer showed any signs of heat coming off of them.

"All right. But I have nothing to wear to the beach." I said, trying to see if that would be a sufficient excuse to avoid spending time with other people. And the possible problems that could come along with seeing Demyx in his swim suit.

"Don't worry! Let's go get you one now! We don't have to meet everyone else until one." I glanced at the clock and saw that the mall was open already.

"All right.-"

"All right! I'll come get you okay? Where do you live?" After telling him where I lived, he hung up the phone and then I frantically started to search for something suitable to wear. He had liked what I was wearing yesterday, and I certainly felt better today to notice his compliments today. So what should I wear? Where's my wallet?

I was absolutely glad that I was alone in my house so I could release all my pent up anxious energy without people seeing. I found my old treasure trove of gothic like clothing and pulled on a tight fitting long sleeve black shirt and threw on a black T-shirt hoodie that had an image on the front that had the spine and some ribs along with a heart on the side of it. Then I pulled on a pair of black shorts that had studs on the pockets and belt loops. Blinking at them, I hadn't realized how large I used to buy my shorts as if I were to be walking above someone they would be able to see my boxers. This is fine since I don't plan on going upstairs in the mall. I found a pair of checkered Vans and slipped them onto my feet. Hurrying to the bathroom, I stared at my hair and after many failed attempts to comb it any way I wanted it, I just shook out my head and hoped that my hair would look okay.

First thing I thought when I sat down, putting my house keys, wallet, and cell phone all in one large pocket, was why I was getting so worked up on spending the day with Demyx. I had spent the day with him at the mall plenty of times, but this was somehow different; I wouldn't be where I was used to. I would be in a totally new environment with Demyx, and I didn't want to screw this up. Especially since he said he was inviting some of his own friends. I didn't want to look that much of a loser in front of them, which would embarrass Demyx greatly. Would he still want to be my friend if one of his friends told him that I was a moron or something like that? Would they judge me, and tell Demyx to stay away from the freaky emo kid, and Demyx, knowing them longer than me, would leave me alone to stay with his cooler friends?

As I stood, thinking twice about my choice of clothing, the doorbell rang. I composed myself so I wouldn't open the door a nervous wreck, walked towards the door, and opened it.

"Hey, Zexy!" Demyx said with a lopsided grin. "Ready to go?" I nodded, keeping my cool, and turned and locked my house. As soon as I had put my key back in my pocket, Demyx grabbed my hand and dragged me to his car. This happened to be a very expensive Spyder. Trying not to gape at the fact that he would have such a car, Demyx rounded the other side and laughed.

"Surprised? My family has quite a lot of money to allow me to spend money on such silly things as this." He opened his door and slid in, and I followed his example. The ride there was filled with Demyx drumming on the steering wheel in tune to various music channels we listened to. When we got there he instantly dragged me over to Pac Sun. I instinctively touched my wallet; knowing full well that whatever was in this store I could not afford at the moment.

Looking at Demyx hesitantly, he ignored it and continued to drag me into the store. After he looked through rack after rack of swim trunks and gear, he seemed to be giving up hope of finding one I wouldn't shake my head at. I wandered a bit away from him to a rack he hadn't yet ransacked, and skimmed through them. I pulled out a simple black one and when he looked up to find me, he shook his head at it.

"You're not going to get something that simple!" He demanded, and after searching through many other stores we eventually found something. It was almost like my previously simple black one, except at the bottom were medium sized skulls that circled the legs. Although I could see something flash across his face when he saw the skulls, he eagerly pushed me towards the fitting room.

I had quickly changed, very quickly, so that before I let Demyx see it (he said he had to make sure it looked good before it was bought) I could look at myself in the mirror of the dressing room. I was pale and small, almost no well toned muscles on any inch of my body. Tying the drawstring of the shorts tighter because I felt them start to slid off a bit, I took a deep breath. Remember Zexion, look like you don't care.

"You look awesome!" Demyx exclaimed and smiled brightly at me. I kept my focus and figured that if I didn't look directly at his face, I wouldn't turn red. He circled me and then nodded his head in approval and then ushered me back into the dressing room. I was pretty thankful for that because I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold in the blush.

I actually had just enough money to pay for the suit; but I didn't tell Demyx that. He would most likely have refused to let me buy it myself. The clock read twelve and after Demyx bought a lot of chicken fry combos from Burger King, we were on our way to the beach.

I sat uncomfortably in the car, unable to sort out what I was thinking into coherent sentences. I suddenly noticed that the drumming on the steering wheel had stopped and we were at the beach, but Demyx wasn't getting out. He looked at me curiously.

"Is there something wrong, Zexy?" He tilted his head to the side, another snapshot to store in my memory. I shook my head no and after keeping his eyes on mine for another second he turned away and got out.

I should have known Demyx's swim trunks should have had something to do with music but I was still surprised to learn that he got them specially made. It was a dark blue color and in a slightly lighter color were musical notes. If you were to just glance at him, it would look like swirls of blue, which gave it a nice effect.

The only problem with this was that I paled in comparison to Demyx. The goofy, clumsy kid had in fact, some muscles, but they did not distort his figure in a way that would affect his looks. They just made him look a whole lot better. Then take a look at me, who is by far, much shorter, paler, and definitely no where near as strong as him. As we made our way to the designated location on the beach I stared at my feet; embarrassed by how pathetic I must look.

"Demyx!" I looked up to see his sister in a yellow bikini top and black board shorts that had yellow stripes on the sides. Standing next to her was a considerably older looking man, but he did not seem to be of any worry because he was busy looking at the cards Larxene was holding up. She didn't notice.

"Hey, Larxene!" He hurried forward to give her a big hug, one that she accepted reluctantly and then grinned at the older man. "Come on Zexy!" He waved me over and I scurried towards them. "This is my older brother Luxord. Luxord, this is Zexion." I had to prevent myself from letting out a sigh my name floated across his lips. The way he said it made it sound angelic.

"Nice to meet you." I shook his out stretched hand.

"Same to you. But if you will excuse us, Larxene and I have a game to finish." He smirked and not soon afterwards Larxene was accusing him of cheating in Go Fish. I held my tongue, not sure what Luxord would do if I were to tell.

Soon Axel, Roxas, and everyone else arrived, including two of Demyx's friends. Cloud was one of them, who happened to be Sora's brother, had brought the little brunette along, much to Riku's pleasant surprise. Demyx's other friend, Leon, seemed to have claims on Cloud, because as I looked at him, I could sense that he was glaring holes into the side of my head. The last of the friends was a surfer who had a pirate complex and a guy who had his hair up in a weird fashion. Xigbar and Xaldin their names were, and they were apparently related in some weird way. I heard something like mother's aunt's second husband's grandson. I'm not too sure.

Xigbar and Xaldin didn't waste any time and instantly hit the waves, and Axel and Roxas played against Riku and Sora in a volleyball game. Axel had refused to go near the water. Cloud and Leon lied on the beach, looking like they were dead and Larxene and Luxord continued their lethal game of Go Fish. So it was I that Demyx literally dragged to the water. I was unsure of what to do, since I could barely swim and wasn't too keen on battling the waves the way Demyx was. He would plunge into them and just as I thought he wouldn't come back up, he would emerge laughing. But Demyx eventually wouldn't have it with me standing idly by.

"Here, I'll show you." He smiled as he held his hand out to me. Another wave crashed into him, but he was like a brick wall and didn't move an inch as he waited for my response. I inched my way forward and placed my hand into his. He beamed, and tightened his grip on my hand as he pulled me in front of him.

"Okay, just stand your ground at first. You don't want to go diving into them first. That's just asking for the waves to grab you." He said, making it sound like the waves were a living breathing thing. I just nodded, and dug my feet into the sand under the water. The best part of this was the first wave that came in was a giant one that went well over my head since we were pretty far out. Well, here goes nothing.

Bracing myself against it, it rammed into me at full speed. My eyes widened in surprise as I was thrown backwards but hit something behind me. When the water finally subsided I started a coughing fit as two arms wrapped around my waist and straightened me.

"You okay?" I nodded my head in between coughs and at the moment was unconcerned about the fact that my back was against Demyx's bare chest. Another one of those waves were coming. "Hold your nose if you can't hold your breath," he added just before the wave hit. I quickly grabbed a hold of my nose and clamped my mouth shut. It subsided again and I was once again pulled up by Demyx.

"Let's go farther in-"

"No, I can do this." I said sternly. It may be the first stupid thing I've ever done, but I was not going to let some stupid waves make me look like a fool in front of Demyx. Another wave hit, and this time I didn't have to use Demyx as support; I stood up just fine.

"Good, now when there's a really big one, go under. When there is a smaller one, jump." And so this went on for a while and sometimes Xigbar or Xaldin would pass by and wave at us and once Roxas came out towards us and told Axel that he can't swim and if Axel didn't come in now, he would surely drown. Axel had practically leaped the whole length between him and Roxas, nabbed him bridal style and galloped back to land. Axel shook himself like a dog making everyone laugh, except for me. I just did a poor attempt at hiding a grin. Through the sounds of the waves and focusing on trying to stay upright, I had heard Demyx's stomach growl. I waited for a large wave to pass and then I asked him if he was hungry.

"No, I'm fine. I don't want to leave you alone out here."

"You won't. I have everyone else here."

"No, I don't want to leave you with the waves." He said, as if they would swallow me up as soon as he left.

"Demyx," I tilted my head back so it was resting on his chest and I could look at his face. "I think I can do this by myself." I raised an eyebrow at him. What did he think I was, five? There was a moment of silence and dodging another wave before I sighed. "I'll come too." I was in fact rather hungry now that I thought about it. Demyx smiled and turned the two of us around, that way if a larger wave were to come it would hit him. As I trudged to the shore, I felt Demyx's hands ghost around my waist, and when we got to the shore he grabbed my hand and led the way to the food.

When we got back, everyone else was sitting by where Larxene and Luxord originally were, all the conversations were jumbled so much, I couldn't understand how they could figure out who they were talking to. Demyx sat down next to me and started to chow down on his food instead of talking with everyone else first. I took a deep breath of the salty air as it was mixed with everyone's and everything's scent. It was unusual for me to like a scent that is made up of a million others, but this was strangely nice. It was late in the day as the sun was getting closer to setting in the distance. Xigbar was currently telling a story about how in his past life he was a great and powerful pirate who plundered the seas and had tons of buried treasure. Although that was a total lie in my opinion, he caught everyone else's attention, carefully spinning the story, leaving everyone wanting more.

As I listened with curiosity about how he was able to control everyone with the story, I caught a glimpse of Demyx finishing his meal finally. He stretched and I took in every movement in his muscles as he reached high above his head and then swung his arms back down. He then stared intently at Xigbar, totally engrossed with the story, making the side of my lip tug upwards. When he was finally done, the group started to scatter in all directions, some for food, some for waves, better places to watch the sun, or just building sand castles. I passingly heard Luxord bet Larxene ten bucks he could make a better sand castle than her. She said not a chance and muttered something about building a moat under her breath. The only ones that didn't move were Demyx and I, which surprised me. I was pretty sure he would want to go do something fun with them.

I looked towards him and he was staring at his feet, his ungelled hair falling unevenly in mismatched places as the salty water started to dry.

"You're like a big teddy bear." I blurted out, instantly covering my mouth as soon as I said it. Demyx whipped his head around to look at me. Did I just say that out loud? Did my body betray me again? Oh what have I done to deserve this embarrassment? My mind went blank with a comeback as it seemed to think that expressing the thought I just had was completely normal and no need for alarm. But I had need for alarm so I did the first illogical thing that appeared in my head.

I tried to run away.

Which I failed miserably because as I tried to stand I tripped over my own feet and fell down. As I tried to get back up something had grabbed my legs and had pulled me towards. I looked behind me to see that Demyx had latched his hands onto my legs to prevent me from escaping, and was pulling me closer and closer with every second. When he finally got me towards him he stopped, but didn't let go.

"You think I'm like a teddy bear?" I refused to look at his face and instead decided to pretend that the sand was oh so very interesting. "Is that what you said?" He persisted and I knew there was no way I could get out of this one.

"Yes…" I mumbled and felt him wrap his arms around my waist, pulling my back up against his side.

"And why do you think that?" I refolded my legs underneath me and grabbed my ankles shyly.

"You're just so nice…" I trailed off, uncertain of how to work my answer.

"Just tell me. You don't have to sound half way intelligent for me to understand what you're saying." He chuckled and I just gripped my ankles tighter.

"You're so nice and every time I see you I want to touch you, to hug you but you're much too big, so you're like a giant teddy bear. You do all the touching for me." I said, wondering if that sounded right or had proper grammar or was logical in some way. I was waiting for him to say something back, something demeaning that could ruin our friendship. I don't think I could stand for that to happen. I wanted to be near him all the time, but I didn't think someone like me…

I heard a low chuckle from him as he tightened his grip around my waist and lifted me up. He placed me in between his legs and held me in a bear hug from behind. I knew there was a blush creeping across my cheeks and I looked down at our feet. His were so large compared to mine.

"Yeah," He grinned into my ear. "I'm a big clumsy bear who likes to hang out with a tiny human." He leaned against my back and put his chin on my shoulder. I leaned back against him and tilted my head back to rest it against his shoulder.

"I hope I don't get eaten." I grinned, surprising even myself.

"Don't worry; I'm not hungry right now." He grinned back at me. "Hey," he moved me forward so I could turn around to face him. "Let's have a sleep over!" He said excitedly.

"A… sleep over?" I tested out the word. Males have sleepovers?

"Yeah, you know when a friend sleeps at a friend's house?" Hmm, I don't believe I ever did that. I think I avoided most of Axel or Riku's 'sleepovers." I guess he could see the look of concentration on my face. "Come on, It'll be fun! And then we can spend the day together tomorrow before my gig." His eyes practically pleaded and I felt as if I said no my heart would be torn to shreds.

"Okay." I answered and his smile got bigger, if that was possible.

"All right! Awesome!" He released his hold on me, much to my displeasure, and stood up, stretching. Holding a hand out to me, I grabbed it and he pulled me up, but without letting go. "Look, we get to see the sun set." He said calmly and I looked towards the ocean. And indeed just as I looked the sun made it's way over the horizon and then it went dark.

Everyone said goodbyes and Larxene and Luxord rode home together as Demyx took me to get my things. I frowned when I saw that I didn't get to eat my smores, but shoved it in my mouth anyway as I hurried to my room to find something to put my clothes in. After finding my old school bag, I carefully picked out clothes for tomorrow. After much staring and thinking, I realized that I didn't have much of a choice for pajamas and grabbed an oversized white T-shirt from 6th grade that still didn't fit me correctly that said "Science makes the world go round!" and my black pajama pants. It was the best I could do. I grabbed other necessities and slowed to a walk out the door so Demyx wouldn't see that I had been rushing to find things.

I locked the door tight, pocketed my key and then got into the car, eager to see what tonight, this 'sleep over', would be like.
