Apologies for the week-long wait. I started this chapter at the beginning of the week but had a lotta other stuff I've been doing. Blame most of it on Naruto since I bought a loada DVDs the other day Well, here we are!!
"Axel, wake up, it's the weekend!"
Brushing red hair out of his face Axel opened his eyes. He could see blonde hair. Half-asleep, he smiled.
"C'mon, Axel!"
"But it's so cosy just here." Axel thrust an arm out, bringing the blonde towards him.
"Quit it, you're tickling me!!"
"But I missed you, Rox."
"Roxas?!"
The blonde struggled, freeing itself from Axel's grip. Now fully awake, the red-head saw the mistake he had made.
"Fuck!" he moaned, rubbing his head to make sure he was properly awake.
"What would Zexy had said with you glomping me?" Demyx asked, mockingly putting his hands on his hips to act cross.
"Quit with the acting," Axel grumbled. "You glomp everyone so it doesn't really matter now, does it?"
Demyx's hands slipped off of his hips. "That's a point."
Axel sat up in his little bed. "So, we're going to Zexion's?"
"Yup!! Hurry up so we can catch the next bus!"
"Jeez, this place is awesome!"
Demyx smiled, walking up the stone steps to the front door. "You haven't even seen the interior yet!"
The door flung open before Demyx had a chance to knock. Zexion stood there, dressed in his usual skinny jeans and tshirt. His clothes clung to him so tightly it made Axel and Demyx's clothes look like they would fall off any minute now.
"Hey there," Zexion said, smiling slightly. "Come on in. I gotta introduce you."
Demyx slid an arm around Zexion's waist. "Ok!"
Axel trailed on behind the two as they entered a large living room decorated in neutral colours to give an oriental look. Sitting neatly on a sofa opposite the entrance was a woman in a summery dress and her supposed husband in casual shorts and shirt.
"Hello there!" The woman smiled, flicking her ginger hair. She stood up and approached Zexion, Axel and Demyx. "I'm Sally Roku, Zexion's mother. There's no need for formality, you may call me Sally. And this is Jack." She pointed to the man on the sofa, who got up on cue and shook hands with Axel and Demyx.
"Glad to finally meet you!" he said, his black messy hair bouncing from side to side. "I'm so glad you two have befriended my son. You wouldn't believe how happy I am to see Zexion's smile back. I don't think I've seen him like this since he was very young."
Demyx smiled. "I came over last weekend but you were out so I never got the chance to meet you." He pulled Zexion closer to him. "I'm glad to meet you too!!"
Jack and Sally didn't flinch at Demyx's actions; they merely smiled and turned their attention to Axel.
"Ah, the red-head. You must be Axel, then," Sally said happily. "It was so kind of you to invite Zexion to Demyx's that day. I started to feel that Zexion would never be social towards anyone. And now he's so close to Demyx!"
Axel shrugged. "Well, you know, I just---" He stopped and gawked. "Hang on, you're ok with them!!" He pointed almost accursedly to the two, Demyx now nestling his head on Zexion.
"Of course," smiled Jack. "So long as Zexion is happy."
Axel stood in silence, thinking to himself. 'So long as he's happy?' Sounds a bit like my mum.
"Hey mum," Zexion said as Demyx continued to nestle against him.
"Yes, Zex?"
"We were gonna use the pool."
Both parents looked at each other, then at Zexion.
"But what about your trouble last week?" Jack asked, slightly stern. His attitude had changed, similar to the way Zexion's did.
"I'll be ok," Zexion said. "Besides, I don't plan on getting in the pool."
"Ok, just be careful," Jack said.
"You boys have fun," Sally chirped, forcing a smile through her concerns.
"My parents are kinda overprotective," Zexion mumbled. He had built up the courage to sit by the water's edge and was now rolling his jeans up and dipping his feet in the warm water. Of course, you would never get cold water in an indoor pool unless you wanted it, which was very rare for Jack and Sally.
"Don't worry about it," Axel said, flicking water in Demyx's direction. "At least your parents know you're around. My parents don't really care that much, so long as I'm cool. I haven't seen my mum in ages; she just let's me do whatever I want. My dad doesn't want to know me though."
"Doesn't want to know you?" Zexion asked, swirling the water around with his feet.
"Yeah, he didn't realise having a kid means you have to pay to look after it," Axel started. He smirked at the idiotic thoughts his father had. "He wasn't on the best terms with my mum anyway so he called it quits. I met him a few times when mum tried to make things better; he was all affectionate but when it came to ordering take-out for the night, he didn't wanna pay for me. I don't care, that bastard can do what he wants. Mum's great though, she gives me loadsa stuff to 'make up' for him not being there and lets me stay with whoever I want. She's happy living with her own friends so I don't feel that bad for leaving her. I treat her like an old friend rather than a parent."
"You're weird," Zexion said. "Most people would be a bit scarred if their father decided not to pay for them but you just laugh it off and don't care."
"That's 'cos I don't," Axel scowled. "He's basically one of those guys who gets hitched with someone, fucks them, and then runs off when there are signs of a child. That's what I tell most people when they ask about him. I say I never knew my father, which is kinda telling the truth. I wouldn't have known him if mum hadn't tried to sort out the situation."
"Ok," Zexion mumbled.
"Hey, Zex, why don't you come in?" Demyx asked.
"I'm not a fan of the water…" Zexion muttered. "And I'm not changed."
"The water's so fun, though!!" Demyx smiled. "Maybe I could sway you into getting in the water?" He made several little waves in the water.
"I doubt it," Zexion said, eyeing the water Demyx splashed around.
"Dem, you suck!" Axel laughed as droplets of water from Demyx's waves hit him. "If you wanna drench someone, this is the way you do it!"
He smirked and shoved the water with force to cause a large wave. He aimed the wave at Demyx, soaking him.
Zexion removed his feet from the pool and sat on a sun bed away from the water to avoid getting splashed.
"Aw, you got my hair wet!" Demyx whined. "It's gonna go green!!"
The red-head laughed. "Dem, the chlorine wont do anything to your hair, trust me."
"But the other day I heard someone's hair went from blonde to green after getting out of the pool at school!!"
Axel's laughs got louder. "That's what happens when you bleach your hair! Dem, your hair's au naturale!!"
"Well, I don't wanna play anymore," Demyx moaned. "You're vicious when it comes to splashing!"
"Party-pooper!" Axel jeered. He exited the pool, however and dried himself off with his towel that hung over a shelf on the wall. "I'm gonna go home, ok? I got some stuff to do." I gotta phone Roxy
"Alright," Demyx chirped, forgetting about being splashed.
"I'll leave you two be," he smirked, slipping his tshirt and flip flops on. He slid the door to the outdoors on, went through, and then closed it again, disappearing from view.
"Well," Zexion started once the sound of Axel's feet treading on gravel had dissolved. "Are you coming out? It's awfully lonely up here."
Demyx smiled, and slid under the water. What's he playing at, Zexion thought to himself, slowly rising from the chair. He walked casually toward the pool's edge. A blurred Demyx could be made out at the bottom of the pool. Zexion leaned over the side cautiously to get a better look. The Demyx shape was motionless.
"Aw, crap," Zexion whispered. "He's---"
A gush of water erupted from the pool and the silver-haired boy found himself being pulled into the water. He went under briefly before finding himself being hauled to the surface.
"Shit!" he spluttered, clawing the poolside. "What the fuck?"
Demyx was next to him, beaming.
"I got you in the pool!" he chanted.
"Yeah, you did," Zexion gasped. "My clothes are drenched."
Demyx slipped back under the water, resurfacing between the wall and Zexion, causing the silver-haired boy to rest on the blonde's back. Demyx smiled, launching himself to the shallower water, keeping a tight hold on Zexion all the way.
When he could touch the bottom of the pool with his feet, Demyx stopped, which allowed Zexion to get off.
"Feel safer now?" Demyx asked.
"I'm not scared of the water, I just don't find enjoyment in it," Zexion mumbled. "It still doesn't make up for my un-dry state though."
Warmth pressed itself against his lips. He groaned in pleasure as he opened his mouth, allowing Demyx's snaking tongue entry. Zexion didn't return a move to Demyx. He relied on the blonde's moves alone.
Cool air hit him as the warmth was removed from his lips, Demyx looking at him calmly, damp hair pressed against his face.
"Does that make up for it?" Demyx asked.
"I dunno," Zexion smirked. "Maybe…"
He wrapped his arms around the blonde's wet, bare back, moving his lonely lips towards Demyx's. This time, Demyx was the one to moan in pleasure as Zexion dominated him. The blonde's fingers crept up Zexion's back, causing him to shiver. The fingers rested in damp silver hair, which seemed almost black now. Beautiful, demonic hair.
Zexion released his tongue from Demyx's mouth and placed a light kiss on his lips. He nibbled slightly on the blonde's ear, smiling devilishly at the squealing response.
"Whatever you do to me," Zexion whispered in the blonde's ear. "I will always love you…"
Jack and Sally... Yeah, I know, brilliant isn't it!! But don't think Zexion has a skelltal father now, it's just 'coincidental' Ah, I love my evil plotting mind... Oh, and this chapter's making me wanna do fan art for it, which reminds me, if anyone wants to do fanart, just let me know, ok? I got a querie on it last week on DeviantArt so thought I'd mention it in case people are scared I'd eat them for thinking something like that -laughs- pfft, yeah right, I'd never do that!!
