A.N: After only getting one piece of feedback to do with my last chapter, and after having to retype this chapter anyway due to losing it, the rating... stays as T. Sorry anyone reading this that wanted it to rise, but I'm keeping it as it is.
Anyway, apologies for taking forever to upload this, but here's the newest chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter Ten
"Marluxia?" I asked, surprised.
"So, the nurses weren't talking a load of rubbish. You really do have your voice back," Marluxia mused, walking over to my bedside as Aerith left to give us some privacy. I wished she had stayed...
"Yeah, I do," I said, smiling a false smile.
"You have a lovely voice, Zexion."
"Th-Thanks..." I stuttered. Of course, he hadn't heard me talk before. He first met me after my accident.
"The nurse said I could only stay for a moment, so I'll make this quick," Marluxia began and I quickly became confused.
"What do you mean?"
"That guy you used to be with, Demyx, he's not good enough for you. You deserve someone better, you know."
"To be honest, I don't care what you think. Demyx is perfect," I argued. I knew I was lying a bit; Demyx was far from perfect. I didn't care, though.
"Whatever you think, princess," Marluxia laughed, before pressing a chaste kiss to my chin and sauntering out of the room.
"Creep..." I muttered to myself.
"Everything okay in here?" Aerith asked a few minutes later as she walked into the room again.
"Everything's fine, thanks," I replied.
"Well, you have another visitor. Ever the popular one, aren't you?"
"Heh, I guess so," I chuckled.
Aerith popped out of the room for a few brief moments before walking back in with Roxas.
"Hey, Roxas," I smiled as he moved to sit on the chair that had been quite conveniently placed by the side of my bed.
"Hey," Roxas muttered. "You feeling alright today?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. You don't look too good, though. What's wrong?"
"Everything."
(Roxas)
Before I knew it, I had recounted practically everything to Zexion. From running off yesterday to coming here now.
"Roxas," Zexion sighed. "You're hopeless. Really, you are."
"I know..." I mumbled, before speaking up. "I didn't mean for it to happen, but it did..."
"Well... Who do you really love? That's who you should stay with."
"I..."
I hadn't thought about this.
I loved Axel...
But I also loved Riku. I always had.
Axel was just a comfort to me when Riku left. Now he was back and I really didn't need Axel anymore, even though I had developed strong feelings for him.
So who did I really love? The man who left me and came back, or the man who comforted me when I was at my weakest?
"I don't know." I muttered.
Just then, a nurse walked into the room with Demyx in tow.
"Thanks, nurse," Demyx smiled as he went to sit opposite myself beside Zexion's bed. "So... What did I miss?"
"Not much," Zexion chuckled, not saying anything about what I had just told him.
(Zexion)
I didn't mention to Demyx what Roxas had just told me. It wasn't my place to.
Maybe, for some reason, Roxas might not have wanted Demyx to know.
Idle conversation filled the air before Aerith brought in someone else who had come to visit.
Riku.
I looked over at Roxas. His eyes had filled with panic, but his face didn't show it. He just sat where he was and didn't say a word.
"You okay, Zexion?" Riku asked as he pulled a chair up beside Demyx.
I heard Roxas breathe a small sigh of relief, but I didn't know if anyone else had heard it.
"I'm fine, Riku."
Demyx left the room to go to the toilet and I spoke again.
"Now, Riku. What happened between you and Roxas last night?"
Roxas' face flushed a pale shade of white and Riku gulped nervously.
"You know about that?" Riku asked.
"Uh-huh. I have my ways of knowing things."
"Damn... um... see..."
(Riku)
"So Roxas came back to my place with me after I dropped Demyx's car off, I offered him a drink and he got drunk on two glasses of wine. Then- ahem- we..." My voice lowered to a whisper as I remembered everything that had happened the night before. "We had sex."
"Oh, Lord," Zexion sighed.
(Zexion)
Hearing the same from Riku that I had from Roxas confirmed it. The two really had done something, but both did seem highly ashamed of it.
"Roxas, did you tell Axel about this?" I asked.
"I did," Roxas nodded. "And he broke up with me almost instantly."
"Oh, Roxas," I sighed again. "Did he even give you a chance to explain?"
"I tried to, but he wouldn't listen."
"I'm sure he will soon," I tried to assure the blond.
As if on cue, Demyx walked back into the room. He looked at the three of us before walking back to his seat.
"So, what did I miss?"
A.N: This was a shorter chapter than I had intended, but I really wanted to update this story for the people who read it.
