Chapter 11: Advice From A Playa'
Demyx was looking up at the clock, waiting with extreme impatience for the announcements to come over the intercom. Today was the day, the day they would announce the nominees for prom king and queen. Ever since he was little, Demyx had heard about the prom king and how everyone looked up to him. Ever since then, he wanted to be king of his senior prom and this was the moment of truth, the moment that would either give him hope or take it away.
"Attention student body," The female voice of the secretary, Rikku, came over the intercom. "Today we will be announcing the nominees for prom king and queen." All the students cheered happily. "The nominees for prom queen are as follows: Larxene de Sade!"
"As if there was any doubt." The blonde girl chuckled.
"Kairi Paopu, Selphie Chouko, Xion Replica, and Namine Nocturne!" The students cheered. Demyx was surprised, Namine had never been popular… perhaps this was from dating Luxord.
"And now, the nominees for prom king: Lexaeus Hero!"
"Of course." Zexion, in a different classroom, mumbled, rolling his eyes.
"Marluxia Hanabusa, Luxord Fates, Axel Flurry, and…"
"Please, please, please." Demyx crossed his fingers on both hands.
"… Demyx Nocturne!"
"YES!" Demyx shouted and his classmates cheered for him.
"Remember to vote for prom king and queen. Votes will be taken outside the cafeteria during all lunch periods." And with that, the line went dead. The final bell rang at that point and Demyx dashed out of the classroom, looking to share his excitement with his boyfriend. Demyx found his slate haired angel in the courtyard, but an unhappy sight met his eyes. Zexion's back was against a tree and Lexaeus was leaning over him. This made Demyx's blood boil. How dare that… that… whore go anywhere near his Zexion. Demyx made his way over to the two.
"C'mon Zex, I know you still have feelings for me. Just come to prom with me, eh?"
"I already told you no. Buzz off, Lexaeus." Zexion countered, glaring daggers at the tall man looking down at him.
"But Zex, I thought you said you loved me."
"He told you no." Demyx said, approaching the taller male.
"Buzz off, kid, can't you see I'm in the middle of a conversation."
"C'mon Zexion, let's go to the library." Demyx said, a little more calmly.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Lexaeus asked, confused.
"I'm his boyfriend." Demyx smirked, took Zexion's hand, and lead the way to the library.
"Dammit." Lexaeus cursed under his breath.
~*~Rai: This is a page break, ya know~*~
Demyx was sitting with Xigbar at his usual table. The scarred boy told Demyx the truth about Kairi, knowing Demyx wouldn't tell anyone. As the latter gazed daggers at where Luxord was helping Namine study for finals, he couldn't help but feel guilty about deceiving the blonde male. "You know, Xigbar, I still think you should just tell him." Demyx said, setting his blue iPod to shuffle. Demyx looked around the room and saw Hayner studying alone. That's weird. Demyx thought, he's always with Pence and Olette. Demyx saw Hayner let out a long sigh and close his book. The teen then got up and left through the glass double doors.
~*~Rai: Wow, there's another page break already, ya know~*~
Hayner sighed as he walked up the white concrete steps. I can't believe I'm doing this, He thought as he knocked loudly on the tall white door in front of him. C'mon this is something I need to do. "Yo, man."
"Yo." A voice came from the other end of the door.
"Open up, man"
"What do you want, man?"
"Seifer caught me." The door swung open to reveal Lexaeus
"You let him catch you?"
"I don't know how I let this happen."
"With who?"
"Olette from next door, you know."
"Man."
"I don't know what to do."
"Say it wasn't you."
Hayner: Alright
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given him an extra key
All this time he was standing there
he never took his eyes off me
Lexaeus: How you can grant the man access to your villa
Trespasser and a witness while you cling to your pillow
You better watch your back before he turn into a killer
Best for you and the situation not to call the beaner
To be a true player you have to know how to play
If he say a night, convince him say a day
Never admit to a word when he say makes a claim
And you tell him baby no way
Hayner: But he caught me on the counter Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Saw me bangin' on the sofa Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: I even had her in the shower Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: he even caught me on camera Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: he saw the marks on my shoulder Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Heard the words that I told her Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Heard the screams getting' louder Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
I had tried to keep him
From what he was about to see
Why should he believe me
When I told him it wasn't me
Lexaeus: Make sure he knows it's not you and lead him on the right prefix
Whenever you should see him make the giggolo flex
As funny as it be by you, it not that complex
Seeing is believing so you better change your specs
You know he not gonna be worrying bout things from the past
Hardly recollecting and then he'll go to noontime mass
Wait for your answer: go over there
But if he pack a gun you know you better run fast
Hayner: But he caught me on the counter Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Saw me bangin' on the sofa Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: I even had her in the shower Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: he even caught me on camera Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: he saw the marks on my shoulder Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Heard the words that I told her Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: Heard the screams getting louder Lexaeus: It wasn't me
Hayner: She stayed until it was over
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given him an extra key
All this time he was standing there
he never took his eyes off me
Gonna tell him that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
I've been listening to your reasoning
It makes no sense at all
We should tell him that I'm sorry
For the pain that I've caused
You may think that you're a player
But you're completely lost
That's why I sing
Honey came in and he caught me red-handed
Creeping with the girl next door
Picture this, we were both butt naked, banging on the bathroom floor
How could I forget that I had
Given him an extra key
All this time he was standing there
he never took his eyes off me
Hayner looked Lexaeus in the eyes. Does he really think just saying it wasn't him would work. Seifer knows what he saw, and wouldn't fall for such a simple and idiotic lie. Hayner sighed, "Lexaeus, thanks for the help, but I think I'm just gonna apologize."
"Wait, what? Hayner, it doesn't work that way, you can't admit to it."
"Your reasoning doesn't make any sense, Lexaeus. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm in love with Seifer, and now I've broke his heart for no reason."
"Hayner, just listen-"
"No, you know what, Lexaeus, you think you're such a player, but you're completely lost. Too lost to realize that you were in love with Zexion, and now he doesn't want to see your face ever again."
"Me? In love with Zexion? You're nuts, I don't love anyone."
"You can keep telling yourself that, but just answer me this… If you know he's not going to let you sleep with him, why are you still so desperate to get him back?" Lexaeus was speechless. Hayner took this silence as an opportunity to leave, and so he did. Lexaeus stood in the open door way, too shocked to move. Maybe Hayner's right… I am completely lost.
~*~Rai: Page break, ya know. Fuu: break. Seifer: yeah, so keep reading, you lamers. ~*~
Zexion was locking the doors to the library when two thin, but strong arms wrapped around his waist. "Hey, Zexy." The soft voice spoke as the taller boy nuzzled the slate haired one's neck.
"Hey, Demyx." Zexion replied, nuzzling back.
"L-listen, Zexy, I was wondering… Well, you see, my mom has work tonight, and Namine is hanging at Luxord's and umm… I-I was wondering if maybe you'd like to come over and w-we c-could umm…" Zexion knew where this was headed.
"I'm Sorry, Demyx, but… I'm just not ready for that kind of relationship."
"Oh… but umm, hey I understand. But w-we can still hang out… right?"
"Sure, let's stop by my house so I can pack my overnight bag."
"Great!" Demyx took Zexion's hand and the walked towards the slate haired boy's house.
The walk was short and they arrived at the house in no time at all. Zexion opened the door and as soon as he walked in, Demyx could hear the thumping of feet pounding down the stairs. Maeve was the first one down and she ran right up to Demyx and hugged him. "Demy!" She shouted. Demyx smiled and hugged her back. He had come over Zexion's house quite often, and Maeve had taken a liking to him.
"Hey, Demyx is here." The twins, Sovereign and Odysseus, said at the same time.
"Hold up, wait for me!" Jiro shouted after his brothers. Demyx chuckled; he could never get tired of Zexion's family.
"Hey Zexion." Riku said from the top of the stairs. Okay, maybe he could get tired of him.
"Hey, Riku." Zexion replied. "Listen, I'm staying the night at Demyx's, tell Mom that when she gets back.
"Sure."
"Oh, please tell Laila I said 'hi'." Demyx added, but Riku just glared at him. When Zexion was out of earshot and moved closer to the mullet haired boy.
"Listen, if you try anything on my brother tonight, I'll make sure you don't live long enough to say sorry." Riku's voice was full of pure venom.
"Y-yes sir." Demyx's face was red, he felt weird calling someone younger than him 'sir'.
"Hey, Demyx, ready to go?" Zexion asked and he thudded down the stairs.
"Huh? O-oh, yeah, l-let's go." Demyx got out of that house faster than Zexion could've imagined. Zexion glared at Riku who just looked at him innocently. Zexion sighed and left through the blue wooden door.
Well I hope you got a major kick out of that like I did. Remember to review 'cause I love 'em. Flames will be used to burn some common sense into Lexaeus's head.
