Demyx was put in the room with Zexion and another bed was rolled in for him.
Zexion blamed himself for the state the blond was in.
He knew he shouldn't have kissed him, but he wanted Demyx not Lexaeus. He wanted Lexaeus out of the picture.
Every thought about what had happened was burned into his brain until he couldn't take it anymore.
He waited until Vexen was asleep before slipping out of his bed and into the lab.
Crossing it quietly, he found a High Potion that he had hidden in case of emergency and put it in his pocket.
He pulled a few regular Potions out of his secret store and kept all but two of those in his pocket.
The other two he drank to regain some strength.
A portal opened up and he stepped out of it.
He looked around to make sure he was in the right area because he hadn't used a portal in a while.
The door in front of him was the one he was aiming for and he smiled slightly.
He pushed it open and walked inside.
The brute was fast asleep in his bed and he came up to him.
Lexaeus seemed to know he was there because he woke up and stared at him.
"Zexion?" he asked. "It's about time you came back to me."
Zexion frowned.
"No. I didn't come back to you. I came here to LEAVE you."
Lexaeus stared at him.
"That's weird. It sounded like you just said you were going to leave me. Me? The person who loves who as much as possible without a heart?"
Zexion felt anger flare up inside him.
"Love me?" he choked out. "LOVE me?" He laughed. "You never loved me. You loved to abuse me; to take your anger out on me and never make it up to me. I wanted to believe that you could change just so I wouldn't have to be afraid of you anymore!"
"Afraid of me? When have I ever treated you badly?"
Zexion's anger turned to rage.
"When HAVEN'T you treated me badly? You've beaten me, raped me, and done this!" He pulled his bangs out of his face to show the long scar.
"That was my way of claiming you!"
"I didn't want to be claimed by you!" he screamed.
Zexion was glad he had put up an illusion to stop any sound from escaping the room.
Lexaeus gaped at him.
"And I told you that I didn't want you! And then you beat the man I love!"
Anger filled Lexaeus's eyes and he leapt at Zexion.
"You're mine! Not his!" he yelled.
Zexion moved out of his way so he crashed into the wall.
"I love him! It's not up to you to decide who I'm allowed to be with!"
Lexaeus spun around to face him, a trickle of blood making a trail down his forehead.
"Yes it is! I was the one who protected you and you started looking at other people! What kind of repayment is that?"
"You're also the one that locked me in closets so I couldn't leave the castle! You're the one who would punish me for making mistakes and being late when no one else minded! You're the one who starved me claiming that it would help me become stronger!"
Zexion was so overcome with fury about the way he had been treated in the past, that he strolled up to Lexeaus and hit him in the face.
Lexeaus was dazed by the hit and fell back to land on his butt.
Zexion towered over him, wrath emanating from him in waves.
"You are going to leave me alone. You are going to leave Demyx alone. And Vexen and Marluxia too. You are not to attack any of us again. Understand?"
Lexeaus nodded slowly, shocked.
Never before had he seen Zexion stand up for himself. And he had never seen him so angry before so he couldn't help but listen to him.
"Good."
Zexion pulled a Potion from his pocket and threw it at the man beneath him.
"Use that to clean yourself up," he said harshly. "And don't forget what I've said."
Lexeaus nodded again.
Zexion left the room and used a portal to re-enter his room.
He saw Demyx sleeping in his bed, shivering every now and then at the lack of warmth in the basements.
Zexion sighed piteously and climbed into the bed next to him.
Demyx shifted towards his warm body and wrapped his arms around him.
Zexion smiled and put his head next to Demyx's and closed his eyes.
"Good night Demyx," he whispered.
When Demyx woke up, he was surprised to see Zexion's face inches away from his own.
He smiled and leaned forward to kiss the sleeping boy.
Zexion's eyes shot open and he stared at Demyx.
Demyx bit his lip nervously and pulled back.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I just couldn't help it."
Zexion smiled at him.
"It's okay. I was just startled."
"Why are you in my bed Zexion?"
Zexion smiled brighter at him.
"Lexeaus is going to let me be with you now."
Demyx stared at him in shock.
"R-Really?" he stuttered.
Zexion nodded.
"Yes. I talked to him and made him see the way he was acting and I truly loved you. So he backed off. He's not going to be in the way anymore."
Demyx was still for a moment before he leapt on Zexion and kissed him furiously.
Zexion was taken aback for a moment before he kissed back.
"Now that I have you, you're not going to be with him ever again."
Zexion nodded again with a bright smile on his face.
"And he's never going to interfere in our relationship."
Demyx beamed and kissed him again.
AN: Whoa...Zexion faced down Lexeaus...o.o
And Lexeaus listened to him...wow
Yay for Demyx and Zexion!
The story could end here. Should I do that or do you want an epilogue?
Anyway! See ya soon!
