Falling For All Of Me

Chapter 13: Wake Up?

Disclaimer – DO NOT OWNNN:( btw I don't own the book Spanking Shakespeare either but you should read it its hilarious! :)

How is it that the world just stopped? That the one day Axel was absent Demyx fell into Desperation? That's what the doctors called it to explain Demyx's coma. A coma. A FUCKING COMA!!! That hit axel hard right in the chest, everything just stopped. Miracle. A miracle that's what he needed, that's what Demyx needed. Axel got down on his knees beside the blonds hospital bed. GOD. Even if their sexuality was a sin he could still make a plea to Him. For the first time in his life Axel prayed. It was such an odd thing to do for him but Demyx was just that important.

Dear Lord, if today is Demyx's last, then please let him have pleasant dreams until the very end, don't let his death be painful. But if you could please. Please. A single tear fell from his left eye in sorrowful pain. Please if you could, let him wake up I love him!

Axel stood placing a kiss on his forehead, "I love you. I wish I had said that out loud sooner…'' Demyx's finger twitched and Axel barely caught it. He smiled, "Till later then. Love you Demyx babe." And with that Axel left the hospital grounds. As much as he wanted to stay he himself was still sick.

A couple days passed still no news on Demyx's condition. Axel was finally well; fever down. He walked the mile and a half to the town hospital, even though Demyx wouldn't acknowledge his presence he still wanted to see his boyfriend. Axel stepped through the door into Demyx's private room, room 89. He kissed the oblivious boy on the cheek after scooting a chair near the bed. He wrapped his hand around the younger's and just sat. No talking, no tears, to real emotion, just calmness. At least Demyx was breathing, he was alive, and at least there was still a slight chance that he would have a full recovery even if the doctors said he'd probably be in a vegetable state forever. Axel had faith, so much hope in that 7 percent chance that Demyx would be alert and active someday. Again he began to pray.

A week of prayer became two, then a month. He stopped caring about much. He dragged himself through the rest of senior year alone. No smiling childish bond by his side. After school Axel would stay at the hospital until visiting hours were over. Summer started and he began staying overnight with his love. His stress was building. He stopped fixing his hair now just puling it into a low loose side ponytail. He read a lot at the hospital, talked to Demyx about things that were happening, things that were bothering him. Back at the apartment Axel would sleep with his pillow, run a hand across the blue guitar that Demyx could make magic with. Back and forth between the hospital and the apartment. Another day, another week, a couple more months. Prayer, more prayer, Axel's first time to church. Two cross necklaces one for himself one he put around Demyx's sleeping neck.

One night Axel fell asleep in the chair next to Demyx's bed, (his upper body lying on the bed in the way you would lay on a desk during school) a copy of spanking Shakespeare in his hands. Demyx stirred. A hand clenched an arm moved, eyes blinked open… "Axel?" Demyx looked down at the redhead. Demyx had never seen his hair down as it was now, he ran a hand through it; soft oh so very soft. "Nngh…?" axel swatted sleepily at his hand. Hand? Wait as far as his groggy mind could remember he fell asleep at the hospital. Demyx's room… Demyx? He shot up eyes wide. When he took in the sight of his Boyfriend actually wake a relieved grin spread across his features. "Sorry I didn't mean to wake you…" Axel was gaping, still happy, "Demyx you're up!! For all I care you could have slapped me awake! Haha! It worked! Demyx prayer actually worked! Church worked!!" Demyx made a face. Prayer, church, Axel did that? "I didn't know you were religious Ax." Axel shrugged, "Well I really wanted you back ya know?" Demyx stretched, Axel looked so worn. "How…how long have I been out?" Axel frowned just a tiny bit before answering, "It would have been a year later next month…." A year? That meant Axel had graduated by now and he missed it. Demyx shifted uncomfortably, "A year? You waited here for me? Why? For all you know I could have been like that forever!" "But there was a chance that you would come back to me! That's what I held onto. That's why I spent countless hours praying here, at home, and at the church." Axel countered. Demyx went quiet, picking at the thermal blanket he was covered in. they sat silently looking at each other. Axel kept his hand wrapped around Demyx's rubbing his thumb against the back of it. Demyx's hand went limp as he turned away, "How could you stay Ax? How?!? For all you know I could of woken up Dyme or Dem or possibly someone else entirely new! I might have woken up and not even remembered you! How?" his last word was barely above a whisper. Axel kept his eyes locked on Demyx a smile on his lips. He stood lightly grabbing the younger's face and turning it so that Demyx was looking at him. "It was easy to do. It's only natural to wait for the one you love. Be it Demyx, Dyme, or Dem, it wouldn't matter because I've fallen for all of you." Axel bent down kissing Demyx on the lips for the first time in nearly a year. It was long, lovingly warm, a perfect nirvana; everything a kiss is meant to be. When they parted Axel winked, "Got it memorized?"
