Chapter 9: Promise

Zexion woke up, tangled against Demyx. He detached himself from the blonde and got ready. Today he simply threw on a pair of blue jeans, his Smashing Pumpkins shirt and his Rise Against hoodie. He didn't plan on going to school today anyways. He turned on his i-pod and walked to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face. He went back to the bed and gently shook Demyx's shoulder. "Demyx, get up."

The blonde woke up and glared at Zexion, before pulling the covers over his head. Zexion pulled them off of him and threw them across the room. He told the blonde to get ready and walked out into the front room. Axel was watching TV, a cigarette between his lips. Zexion leaned against a wall, crossing his arms. "Axel, you look like shit, what did you do this time to get Roxas so pissed off?"

Axel glanced at the other teen and shrugged. "I don't know, he's been in a bad mood a lot lately and apparently it's my fault."

"You know, he loves you a lot, but he doesn't think that you love him back." Zexion said. "He told me that he thinks you only want him for sex."

Axel put out his cigarette. "That's not true, where'd he get an idea like that?"

"I don't know, but you can try and show him you really care," Zexion said. "Take him out to dinner and a movie. He really likes romantic stuff like that."

"He never told…."

"He didn't tell you because he thought you would think it's to sappy and stupid," Zexion coolly said.

"I don't know if I'll be able to do that, I mean I'm not that kind of guy."

"Just try it," Zexion said as Demyx walked out. "You might like it and Roxas would really appreciate it."

"Ok," Axel said pulling out another cigarette. "I'll try it."

"Ready to go Zexy," Demyx asked.

Zexion looked at the blonde and nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

They threw on their shoes and headed to the car. They drove to the hospital and walked to Riku's room only to find someone already there. "Lulu."

Zexion's mother turned around and threw her arms around her youngest son. "Zexion, sweetie."

"Don't fucking touch me!" Zexion growled pushing his mother away.

"But I'm your mother and I told you not to call me Lulu"

"I don't care, I don't consider you my mother anymore, so deal with it."

Lulu started to cry. "Zexion, I'm sorry, I-"

"Shut the fuck up, I came here to see my brother, not talk to you," the teen said.

Lulu pointed at Demyx. "He can't come in here, it's fami-"

"I said shut up bitch," Zexion snapped pushing aside.

Zexion walked over to Riku and gently kissed on his forehead. He sat down and took Riku's hand. Demyx sat down next to Zexion. Lulu ran out of the room, crying down the halls.

"Riku, I told them what happened to us when we were younger. I told Demyx and them. So they know now," Zexion whispered. "I know we promised to not to tell, but it happened again."

Zexion paused. "Just wake up soon, and if you want you can come live with me. We have a spot at the house for you."

after a few minutes Demyx spoke up."Ummm...Zex we need to get going, like now."

Zexion turned only see Sephiroth and Lulu walking up toward the room. The teen got up and lightly kissed Riku's forehead again. "I have to go, but I'll come back to visit."

The couple walked out of the room just as Lulu and Sephiroth walked up. Sephiroth took one look at Zexion and sneered. "Shouldn't you be at school?"

"We were just leaving," Zexion said walking away and Demyx followed.

Sephiroth reached out and grabbed Zexion's shoulder holding him back. Demyx eyes flashed red as he punched the man.

"Don't ever let me see you touch him again." Demyx growled. "I don't want to see you anywhere near him."

"Demyx, come on lets just leave," Zexion said tugging on Demyx's arm.

The blonde looked over at the younger boy and nodded. They walked outside and to Demyx's car. They got in and Demyx started the car. "Zexion."

"What?" Zexion said cracking open his book.

"You want to go home and watch a movie or something?" Demyx asked, driving out of the parking lot.

"Sure,"

Demyx glanced over at the younger teen. "Zex, are you ok?"

Zexion put his book down. "Yeah, I'm fine why?"

Demyx laid his hand lightly on Zexion's wrist. "It's just I get very worried about you, and I'm afraid that you might…you know what never mind."

"If you have something to say then just say it."

"No never mind," Demyx said, taking his hand off of Zexion's wrist. "You know your birthday's coming up, what do you want?"

"I already have him," Zexion replied.

Demyx smiled but a strange sadness came over his eyes. "That's sweet."

"Don't get all sappy on me,"

"I'm not, I was just saying that was sweet."

"And we're defiantly NOT watching a romance movie," Zexion stated.

"Why your probably just gonna read a book anyways," Demyx said. "You read too much."

"I know," Zexion said placing a hand on Demyx's leg. "But it's good to have at least one intelligent person in the house."

"Hey!" Demyx intoned. "That's not funny."

Lighten up Demyx, I was just joking,"

"I know." Demyx said. "I know."

They drove the rest of the way home in silence. When they got home they walked to their room, since Axel was fast asleep on the couch. As they past the other couples room they noticed that Roxas had put a sign on that door, telling Axel to keep out. Demyx laughed and Zexion rolled his eyes.

Axel needs to stop being such an asshole or they should just break up," Zexion muttered under his breathe as he sat down on the bed.

"Don't worry they'll be fucking again real soon, like they always do," Demyx said. "Hey you want some ice cream, I think theirs some still left?"

"Sure," Zexion replied. "Get some vodka while you're at it."

Demyx returned a minute later with two bowls of ice cream and a bottle of vodka. He handed a bowl of vanilla ice cream and the vodka to Zexion. He sat his down on the bedside stand and walked over to the movie shelf. "What do you want to watch?"

"I don't care,"

"Well, how about Batman Begins?"

"You know I can't say no to Batman,"

"Batman it is then,"

Demyx put the DVD in and sat down next to Zexion and picked up his ice cream. He started the movie. After a few minutes they finished their ice cream. Zexion looked over at Demyx, who had some stray ice cream on him, so he leaned over and licked it off. Demyx kissed the younger teen, pulling him close Zexion flinched slightly, but it went unnoticed by both of them. Zexion straddled Demyx and deepened their kiss, gently sliding his tongue in the blonde's mouth. Demyx wrapped his arms around Zexion, as they continued to kiss. Zexion gripped Demyx's waist with one hand, as the other roamed under the blonde's shirt. Zexion moaned as he hungered for more of Demyx, everything that had happened earlier was forgotten. They stopped when the need for air became too much.

But Zexion didn't stay still for too long. He kissed Demyx again, trailing kisses down to his neck. He bite down on the blondes neck, leaving a mark. He kissed Demyx on the lips again and started to pull up the blonde's shirt, until they heard the front door slam shut. They stopped and Zexion got off of Demyx, just as they heard Roxas start to yell at Axel. Zexion mentally cursed himself. 'I was just raped, I shouldn't be acting like this.'

"What the hell!" Demyx groaned. "They can't stop fighting for one day can they."

Zexion cringed at the sound of something being thrown against a wall. "I just hate fighting."

"It's because of Lulu and Sephiroth isn't it?" Demyx asked. Zexion nodded. "Zex, what exactly happened back then?"

Zexion looked up at Demyx and kissed him gently. "One day, I'll tell you. I promise."
