In case you don't recall (because it's been a little while), Zexion and Demyx...well, actually, just read. =D

Knock knock.

Zexion groaned and forced his eyes open, standard waking up motions for him. Somehow within their nap, Demyx and Zexion had rolled over and now the blonde was in his rightful spot, laying on top of his brother's chest.

Knock knock knock.

What time was it? Zexion's eyes moved to the clock on the night stand as his hand lightly stroked the top of Demyx's head. He soon realized they had slept almost an hour. Which means that noise--

Knock knock.

Was Genesis.

"Demyx?" Zexion crooned, trying to coax the blonde out of his sleep.

"Nrrgf." It didn't work. Demyx hid his face in Zexion's skin, making the slate haired boy smile and persist the venture of waking his lover.

"Dem. You gotta get up. I gotta go."

"What? Where are you going?" Demyx asked in a sleepy voice as he looked up into light blue eyes.

"I'm going out with Genesis." Zexion replied, not thoroughly thinking his answer through.

"Why?!" Demyx cried out and practically jumped off the bed.

"I told him I would." Was the only reply as Zex shrugged and sat up, leaning over to pick up his pants, completely avoiding Demyx's icy glare.

"Why?!" He repeated and Zexion sighed lightly before looking up at the cross armed boy. Zex could only chuckle at Dem's firm stare, his pressed lips and his solid plant on the carpet. If anyone else saw it, anyone who didn't know Demyx the way Zexion did, they might have thought he actually looked a little bit threatening. A little scary. Until Zex stood and gently kissed his brother's cheek, making a blush appear slowly and his hardened exterior melt into his soft interior.

"I'll be back in like an hour ok?" Demyx simply nodded and sat back down on the bed, watching his boyfriend walk out of the house to go spend time with another boy, a boy who wasn't him. "Hey. Ready?" Zexion asked with a smirk as he opened the door and rushed out, practically falling into Genesis' arms.

"Where have you been? I've been down here for like 10 minutes."

"Yea, I'm sorry. I was sleeping." Zex replied with a shrug and made his way past Genesis towards the car. Genesis rolled his eyes as he followed.

~0~

Zexion twirled a fry between his fingers and glanced down at his cell phone in his lap, trying to figure out how much longer he needed to hang out with Genesis to make himself feel better and how much longer he had to be away from the love of his life.

"Zex?" The mass of dark hair shot up and icy blue eyes looked on at the brunette before him. "You don't wanna be here do you?" Genesis said with a tiny smile.

"Gen, I never--"

"Don't insult my intelligence. Please. I'm smarter than you." Genesis joked with a smirk, making Zexion smile lightly and look back down at his lap. "So who is it?"

"What?"

"You like someone. Or more. It seems like more. Who do you love?"

Zexion was at a loss for words. Was he that transparent? Was it really obvious that he was finally full inside, that nothing was missing? That he was ridiculously happy? Was he different now?

"Gen, I..."

"I really just want to know. I promise not to beat him up or anything."

"Like you could." Zexion smirked and finally put the fry between his teeth. He chewed thoughtfully and finally made a decision. "It's this guy that I've known for a while, but we just got together."

"What guy?" Genesis pushed but Zex simply smirked and ate another fry. "You won't say." The brunette said with a small smile and a nod. "That's fine. I'm...happy for you. I can't say I'm really happy because well...I wanted you." He chuckled lightly. "But I guess good for you." Genesis stood and started to walk back towards his car. Zexion followed, a fry hanging off his lip. He leaned against his door and watched Genesis walk over to lean down and open it for him.

"Thanks." Zexion mumbled as he sat. Genesis smirked and leaned into the car, snatching the fry from Zex with his teeth, gently brushing his lips with his own.

"If it doesn't work out..." Genesis trailed off and wiped a strand of hair from Zexion's eyes, keeping their eyes locked.

"I know who to call."

~0~

"Dem? I'm back?" Zexion called once he walked through the door, expecting to find a smiling Demyx sitting in the chair. But no one was there. "Demyx?" The boy traveled further into the house, looking for his brother, but to no avail. "Huh." He said aloud and ventured to his room, thinking that perhaps Demyx had just gone out. Until he heard a gentle whimpering coming from his room. He opened the door slowly only to see the blonde laying on his bed, clutching a pillow to his chest and sobbing quietly. Zex's eyes widened as he watched. He didn't know whether to try to talk to him, to leave and pretend he hadn't seen it. But he was too slow. Demyx finally saw him and bolted up right, immediately starting to wipe away his tears.

"Hi. I-I didn't know you were gonna be home so soon!" Demyx said happily with a grin. It was fake. And Zexion knew it.

"Dem what's wrong?" Zexion asked despite the feeling in his stomach that he didn't want to know. He ignored it, hoping Demyx would just tell him, but instead his lover merely shook his head with that same fake grin.

"Nothing! I was just watching a sad movie. You know The Notebook. Depressing." Dem finished with a shrug and giggled. Zexion tried to smile as he sat by him and raised his hand to wipe away a spare tear that still lingered on the pale face.

"You're sure?"

"Of course!"

"Because you can tell me anything Dem. I love you." The blonde's fake grin finally melted into a sincere smile as he leaned forward to gently press his lips on those in front of him.

"I love you too. And I know. But there's nothing wrong I swear." Zex could only nod in response, not needing to say anything else. He knew something was wrong, something was seriously wrong. Demyx was not the type to sit alone in a room and cry. But now was not the time to wonder and ponder about it. Let it sit. Let it be for a while. If only.

Oh angst.
