Kingdom Hearts isn't mine :)
Today was Thursday. The twenty-fourth of December. Zexion opened his eyes tiredly to be welcomed with unusual darkness.
"Christmas Eve." He said tiredly while peering over at his alarm clock that read 9:00am. He let out a long sigh and closed his eyes again while thrusting the white sheets over his head.
The week had gone by pretty slowly at first. Every day was the same. Zexion would wake up and do his daily morning routine of a shower and breakfast. Then he would hang out in his dorm either watching TV or surfing the Internet. Soon, he would get a text from Demyx asking him if he wanted to hang out or something. Zexion would always say yes and they would enjoy the rest of the day together as friends. They would go get lunch with Axel and Roxas and then just stay in one of their dorms. Life was simple and easy for the time being.
Finally, it was the twenty-fourth. Christmas Eve. Today was the day that Demyx asked him to come over to hang out as friends. Today was the day that Zexion would finally tell Demyx his secret. Today… Zexion rolled over in his light sleep. Zexion sighed. He knew damn well that just laying there wasn't going to make the time pass. With a moan he sat up and stretched out his stiff arms. Lazily he slid off his bed. As he did, his phone gave a small beep. Zexion reached over and grabbed his cell phone off his nightstand and flipped it open. Two new messages from Demyx. Zexion hit a small button and the first unread message popped up on the bright screen.
"Morning! Merry Christmas Eve, Zexy! You still coming to my house later on?" It read. Before he replied, he opened the next one.
"Sorry if I woke you up with the last message I sent…" Zexion nodded and hit reply.
"Don't worry about it. You didn't wake me. Merry Christmas Eve to you as well, Demyx. Yes I'm still coming. What time by the way?" Zexion slowly texted. A few moments later his phone chirped.
"Okay that's good to hear. Well, I'd say when ever you wanted to come. Ha-ha you could come right now and I wouldn't mind." It read.
"Well, I could come over after we got lunch if that works for you…" Zexion hit send after writing out the message.
"That's perfect. Do you want me to wait for you at 12:00 in the stairwell? That way we can walk to the cafeteria together and then meet up with Axel and Roxas. That works out perfectly." Zexion decoded.
"That's good. I can do that. So, 12:00 in the stairwell. Alright, I'll see you then." Zexion sent.
"Okay. Bye for now, Zexy!" Zexion nodded and closed his phone. He gently placed it back on his nightstand and he walked over to his closet to get clothes for the day so he could take a shower. He ended up pulling out a red long sleeved T-shirt along with a pair of dark denim jeans. He walked into the bathroom and started his morning routine.
Zexion emerged from the small cramped bathroom feeling much more awake and refreshed. Zexion peered over at his alarm clock which now read 10:30.
"10:30. That means that I have to leave in about an hour and a half. That works." Zexion sighed and scanned his room for something to do in the meantime. Almost immediately, his eyes connected with the window. Outside, it was like a normal day. Except, sunlight didn't cast through the glassy material. Zexion stalked over to the window and peered outside. Behind the glass, Zexion noticed a few people walking off to various places. That wasn't what he was concentrating on though. Out there, dark clouds covered the blue sky.
"Rain…?" Zexion asked himself shoving the window open a crack. As he did, his hair blew off his face with a force of wind. It was freezing and chilly. Before his room got to cold, Zexion shut his window and forced a smile upon his face.
"Not rain. Possibly snow." Zexion nodded plopping down on his bed and clicking on his TV to check weather updates. When his TV clicked on, he scanned through channels until he finally found the weather channel where a guy with a bald head was currently addressing the weather in a different state. Zexion sighed. Did other people really care about the weather other then here? Zexion folded him arms across his abdomen and rolled his eyes impatiently.
Finally after a long five minutes, they switched over to the current weather.
"Right now, it's cloudy with not a sign of sun. Tonight, around possibly 8:30, it should become a snow shower. Yes. Finally some snow to layer the ground. Just in time for Christmas Eve." The guy on the television said enthusiastically.
"Well, Demyx. Your wish will come true. Hopefully, mine will too." Zexion whispered to himself and clicked off the TV screen. He nodded to himself and got off of his messy bed.
"Hmm… Now what?" Zexion asked himself remembering that he had to kill about an hour of time till he could meet up with Demyx. Then, it dawned on him. Zexion felt as if he was hit with ten thousand pounds that weighed himself down at his shoulders. He paused tensing up and his heart skipping a beat. Time just seemed to stop right there… He had thought about it all week it had just came so quickly. The thought was in his head at all times but he did know that it was so soon. Why now was it finally coming to him? Zexion eyes widened as his heart tightened. Zexion swallowed the lump in his throat and slammed his eyes shut tightly. Finally, he found his words and spoke out loud to himself.
"How the Hell am I supposed to tell him!?" He shivered. Thinking about it gave him goosebumps… Zexion loved Demyx with every fiber of his being but he just didn't know what to say when he finally told him. What if he said the wrong thing…? What if Demyx didn't share Zexion's feelings…? When was the right time to just blurt it out…?
These questions he had asked himself all the time for a long time but now it was crucial… This was Zexion's chance. Christmas Eve. It just wouldn't be the same if he delayed. He didn't know if he could bare the feeling of his heart tightening and lurching forward when ever Zexion saw Demyx's beautiful face anymore.
Even if he could, he probably couldn't last too much longer without going completely insane. Why was this proving so much difficulty to him? Zexion didn't need an answer… Slowly he opened his eyes unlocking them from their tight spot. It was difficult because he was shy when it came to his feelings… Zexion shook his head and shivered.
"If I truly like him the way I do… Then it shouldn't be an issue… The questions will answer themselves at the right time." Zexion said quietly. He sighed and nodded managing to calm himself down just a little.
"It will be okay." Zexion said finally fully relaxed except for the painful tightening on his chest. Zexion found his feet and stumbled over to his fridge. He grabbed bottled water out and removed the cap. Slowly he drank the chilled water letting its cool liquid drain his thoughts and worries. When there was nothing but air left in the bottle, Zexion put the cap back on and placed it neatly on the counter. He took a deep breath and smiled.
"It will all be okay." Zexion said aloud even though he didn't believe anything he was telling himself.
"Now, I just need to wait. Everything will fall into place." Zexion turned away from the counter. Then, Zexion picked up a low pinging noise. He turned his head, his eyes meeting with his cell phone. Slowly, he walked over and snapped his phone open. One new message. Hesitantly, Zexion opened the unread message.
"Hey, Zexy. I'm bored. Whatcha doing?" it read.
"Hello, Demyx. I'm not really doing anything right now either. I guess you could say that I was bored too." He texted at his normal speed.
A few seconds later, Zexion phone pinged again. "Fun! Its only 11:20 and the clock is moving really slowly." It said.
"I feel the same way, Demyx. Really? It's 11:20? It felt later then that. Damnit." Zexion hit send.
"Do you just want to meet up now? I mean, we don't have anything to do. May as well just leave early. Right?" The new message read.
"Very true. Sure. Stairwell?" Zexion asked.
"Yeah. I'll tell Axel and Roxas that we are leaving now, if they want to come early."
"Alright. See you soon." Zexion texted and then shut his phone. Then, he eagerly grabbed his coat, gloves, and put his converse. He grabbed his cell phone and card and left his dorm hastily, happy to get out of the cramped area. He walked down the hall that he had been through hundreds of times and through the door into the stairwell. He looked but Demyx wasn't there.
"He'll be here in a few moments. He's just running late." Zexion reassured himself. With a sigh, he turned and rested his back against the farthest wall facing the door he had just came out of. After a few long moments, Zexion phone chirped at him. It was probably just Demyx telling Zexion that he would be late. Zexion flipped the phone and looked at who the message was from. It didn't say that it was from Demyx. It was an unknown sender… Zexion opened the message and studied the words.
"Turn around Zexion." It said. What the Hell? Zexion quickly snapped his head around and jumped from surprise.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE, ZEXY!" Roxas, Axel, and Demyx shouted although, Demyx's was the loudest. He didn't exactly know Axel and Roxas so Zexion really didn't mind that Demyx's voice was loudest in the group.
"Geez, Demyx! I swear one day, your going to give me a heart attack." Zexion said trying to slow down his heart rate.
"Sorry but I couldn't resist." Demyx said handing Axel a shiny black phone.
"Oh. So that's how you did that." Zexion nodded.
"Yeah. I figured you wouldn't know my number. So I came all the way to this building with Roxas. Plus Demyx really wanted to surprise you." Axel spoke.
"Oh so this was your plan?" Zexion said turning to face the tall redhead.
"Yep. Good wasn't it?" Axel said putting his arm on top of Roxas's head with a smirk. Roxas only rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.
"Don't lie, Roxas. You know you like it." Axel said smirking more and grabbing Roxas's ass with his free hand which made Roxas jump with a small squeak.
"Yeah yeah." Roxas said recovering.
"Well. We may as well get going now." Demyx said with a smile directed at Zexion.
"Very true." Zexion said while following Axel, Roxas, and Demyx down the stairwell.
"Is it me, or did Christmas Eve seem to come pretty quickly?" Axel asked randomly.
"Its you." Roxas said.
"I agree with you, Axel. Seemed like only yesterday that we came to this place." Demyx nodded.
"Hm… I agree with Roxas. I mean, it's been a long time." Zexion said.
"Figures." Axel said closing his eyes smartly.
"Hey. What do you mean by 'figures'…?" Roxas said eyeing the redhead.
"Well. You suck the fun out of everything…" Axel said, the words slipping out. Roxas only glared. "I didn't mean it like that! Hehe, you're cute when you're angry…" Axel added poking the blond's nose.
"I suck the fun out of everything do I?" Roxas said the glare disappearing and a smirk replacing its spot.
"Uhm…" Was all Axel could say before he was pushed to the side and pinned to the wall of the stairwell.
"Really now?" Roxas smirked.
"No... I was kidding… But I like it this way." Axel said grabbing the blonds shoulders and with a swift movement spinning around and trapping the blond between himself and the wall. He smirked and pressed his warm lips against the shorter blonds, forcing entrance for his tongue.
"Are you two almost done?" Demyx called out almost out the door to the smoke filled stairwell. Roxas immediately pushed himself away from the redhead, his face turning a bright red.
"Heh. I take back what I said." Axel said replacing his arm on the blonds head.
"Good." Roxas said. Zexion only sighed. Why couldn't that be me and Demyx? He asked himself in his head. No. Just wait. Although, it was very tempting to push the brunette against the wall and do the same as Axel and Roxas did. He could wait longer. Only a few hours. That's all it took. Zexion nodded bracing himself for the cold as Axel held the door open for them. He was almost immediately greeted by the strong winds.
"Oooo Windy!" Demyx called out with a smile watching the stray strands of hair that usually sat on his forehead dance in the bitter breeze.
"Very." Zexion said trying to keep his hair in order.
"Here Roxas! I'll make sure the wind doesn't blow you away." Axel smirked again picking up the blond and cradling him like you would with a small child.
"Axel I'm perfectly fine! Put me down!" Roxas squirmed.
"Never." Axel said kissing the blonds forehead.
"Fuck you." Roxas gave up and let the tall redhead carry him. Roxas only prayed he wasn't dropped. Axel leaned down so his mouth was right next to Roxas's ear, his hot breath curling around his earlobe.
"Gladly." He spoke in a mere whisper. Roxas shivered in a daze. Axel snickered and lifted his head away from the blond.
"What the Hell was that!?" Roxas shivered again in the warm redhead's arms.
"What was what?" Axel smirked looking off into the distance. Roxas paused for a second and shivered from the chill again.
"Axel..." Roxas started.
"Yes, Roxy?" Axel said looking back down at the blond.
"You're warm…" Roxas smiled and pushed himself closer to the redhead's chest while burying his face in the fabric of Axels black coat.
"Geez Roxas. You're so bipolar. You were mad one second ago." Axel snickered tightening his grip on the smaller blond.
"Here I'll get the door!" Demyx said running ahead of the group to open the door that lead to the large cafeteria.
"Thanks, Demyx." Zexion said walking through. Before Axel and Roxas walked in, the red head set the blond back to his own feet. They then walked through the entrance and into the warm cafeteria. The four friends found the table that they always sat at.
"Hey I'm going to go get some food… Does anybody want anything?" Axel asked while standing up.
"Sure Axel. Just an apple please." Zexion said.
"Same here!" Demyx added in smiling.
"Okay I'll be right back." Axel said turning away.
"Wait, Axel! Can I come?" Roxas asked.
Axel smiled and said "I thought you didn't like coming."
"Well… I do." Roxas said catching up to his lover's side. Then they left to get what they wanted.
"I still can't believe its Christmas! Can you Zexy!?" Demyx said bouncing in his seat.
"Well. I can believe it. This year has been going by very slowly for me." Zexion nodded.
"Well, it's still exciting! I can't wait for tonight though." Demyx smiled happily.
"Neither can I. It should be very fun." Zexion smile to the side. A night that we will never forget.... Zexion added in his head.
"I actually cleaned my dorm today too." Demyx smirked.
"Hah that's good to hear." Zexion smiled.
"Yeah. It was boring too. But, I got it done!"
"You're incredible." Zexion said sarcastically.
"Yes. Yes I am." Demyx giggled. Just then, Axel and Roxas came back with a tray of food.
"Here." Axel said tossing Demyx the apple he asked for. Demyx caught it with no issue at all. Then Axel threw a different apple at Zexion who caught it nevertheless but barely.
"Thanks, Axel." Zexion said taking a bite.
"Thank you!" Demyx smiled.
"No problem. Fifty cents each please. Pay up." Axel said holding out his hand. Zexion reached into his pocket and pulled out some lose change and handed it to Axel. Demyx did the same.
"Does fifty cents really make a difference?" Zexion asked curiously.
"Uhm. Hell yeah." Axel said. "How else would I pay for ice cream?"
"Me much?" Roxas looked at him.
"What do you mean…?" Axel looked back at the blond.
"… You sound like me always wanting ice cream. Addicted?" Roxas smiled.
"Well… I wouldn't say that… If there are a couple things I'm addicted to its burning stuff… And… You." Axel smirked
"Oh geez. Pryo." Roxas said putting his elbow on the table and resting his head in his hand while Demyx giggled.
"So what are your plans for Christmas?" Zexion asked wishing that he didn't after the words left his mouth.
"Sex!" Axel blurted out. Roxas rolled his eyes and looked away while his face turned a bright red again. Well that figures. Zexion shook his head.
"You?" Axel asked Zexion.
"Not sure yet. All I know is I'm going to hang out with Demyx tonight."
"Ah. Sounds cool." Axel nodded.
"Yeah." Zexion said taking another bite.
"Cool? No. More like Awesome!" Demyx cheered bouncing in his seat again. "C'mon Zexy! Woo!"
"… I'll pass thank you." Zexion said looking at the brunette.
"No can do!" Demyx said grabbing Zexion's hands and forcing them into the air. "Say it! C'mon!" Demyx giggled.
"Woo?" Zexion said his face turning a red color like Roxas's.
"No, Woo!" Demyx smiled. "I'm not letting go until you say it!"
"Woo!..." Zexion said.
"Yay!" Demyx cheered and then let go of Zexion's wrist. Zexion hid his face while he looked around the cafeteria. Oddly enough, he wasn't being starred at.
"See? That wasn't too bad!" Demyx grinned.
"Yeah." Zexion nodded. It wasn't bad… but his heart was killing him.
"Okay so what time should I leave?" Zexion asked Demyx as the two walked back into their building.
"Hm. It really doesn't matter to me! Stay as long as you want." Demyx giggled.
"Really?" Zexion asked him.
"You're my bestest friend aren't you?" Demyx turned his head to look into Zexion's eyes.
"Yeah." Zexion nodded.
"So, why would I want you to leave?" Demyx asked.
"Good point." Zexion nodded again while walking through the door to Demyx's hallway.
"Thank you!" Demyx smiled.
"Mhmm."
"Oh, I got popcorn and hot chocolate!" Demyx giggled.
"Awesome." Zexion forced a smile.
"Yep! Movie theater kind. The hot chocolate is extra chocolate too."
"Butter and Chocolate?" Zexion looked over into Demyx's ocean blue eyes.
"Popcorn and chocolate." Demyx grinned.
"Yes cause that makes a huge difference. But, you're right. I'd rather eat popcorn and chocolate."
"I'm right? That's a first…" Demyx giggled. Zexion chuckled a bit and sighed.
"I'm sure you've been right before."
"If I have, I can't remember!" Demyx smiled cutely.
"You wouldn't be in collage if you weren't ever right." Zexion said using logic.
"Zexy is smart!" Demyx giggled nearing the door that read 96C.
"Smart? A compliment?"
"A wha-…?"
"Praise. You know…?"
"No…"
"Uhm… A good comment?"
"A little?"
"Door."
"What? You are confusing me…"
"No. Door." Zexion pointed to where he stopped.
"Oh…" Demyx giggled.
"Mmm."
"Kays Zexy, Hold on." Demyx said while turning a pale shade of red while grabbing out his student ID card and opening the door.
"Thanks." Zexion said following the cute brunette into the bright room.
"Yup Yup!" Demyx smiled while plopping down on his couch. Zexion followed and sat down in a more delicate manor. Demyx reached for the remote for the TV and turned it on. Quickly he found the holiday channel and placed the remote back on the table.
"Hours and Hours of holiday shows?" Zexion looked at him. "I used to watch this same marathon when I was younger."
"Hehe I did too. That's how I know about it." Demyx said looking back at the darker blue eyed guy.
"Could be worse. That marathon of a Christmas Story is pretty obnoxious. I don't know how people watch that same show without getting sick of it."
"Hm. It's alright. I don't mind the movie."
"Same it just gets to unintermittent." Zexion nodded.
"Uniner… what?" Demyx looked at him.
"Repetitive. That's what the word means." Zexion forced a smile.
"Well that makes sense now. Yeah I agree."
Zexion nodded and looked at the TV. Currently, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was playing. Different. Usually, Zexion would just stay in his dorm for the rest of the evening reading a book or wishing he had something to do. That was his basic every Christmas ever since he moved to this collage. What a lovely way to spend the holidays.
"You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen." Demyx giggled.
"God it's been years." Zexion blinked and listened to the old holiday song. Demyx then smiled and surprisingly reached over Zexion to grab a strange instrument resting on the wall beside him. Demyx carefully brought it over Zexion's head and then let the blue instrument rest on his lap. Demyx then started to play the three stringed instrument matching the chords and rhythm to the song that was playing on the TV. His fingers danced over the three strings with grace and perfection. Demyx didn't miss a note or beat. Zexion closed his eyes and let the music drift through his mind. Although he had heard the song millions of times, this time, it sounded different. More… Beautiful. Demyx was right. The sitar was truly an admirable instrument.
"See what I mean?" Demyx asked snapping Zexion back to reality.
"Well played… Demyx, it was wonderful." Zexion nodded with a hint of sadness that the song was over.
"Thank you, Zexy!" Demyx smiled and stretched across Zexion to put the sitar back. Zexion didn't breath nor could he feel his heartbeat in the few moments that seemed like hours. Only when Demyx returned to his normal position did Zexion dare to take a deep breath.
"Do you play an instrument, Zexy?" Demyx looked at him, his eyes glowing.
"No. I don't really know anything about music." Zexion looked down at his hands that rested in his lap.
"I love music! Hehe I could teach you sometime." Demyx smiled.
"Don't know if you'd get far with that." Zexion chuckled.
"Aw it's easy! There are… a lot of songs that only play three chords. Want me to teach you!?" Demyx asked with enthusiasm.
"Sorry Demyx but I'd rather listen to you play." Zexion looked into the sitar-player's blue eyes.
"Okay!" Demyx smiled. "Oh hey! Do you have the time? If not, I can get up and check."
"Oh. Yes. It's…" Zexion said rolling up his sleeve to check the time. "3:30." Zexion nodded
"Whoa. Already!?" Demyx smiled
"Yeah. Well, we were at the cafeteria for a long time." Zexion told him.
"Really!? It felt shorter then that."
"Time flies when you're having fun." Zexion recited the overused quote.
"Oh. Right." Demyx smiled. "Hey do you want anything to drink? I'm getting up to get myself water." Demyx asked leaning forward nearly leaving the couch.
"Water is fine." Zexion closed his eyes and nodded.
"Okay. Just give me a second." Demyx smiled and got up to walk into the kitchen.
"Mhm." Zexion said his mind elsewhere once again.
"Wow! 8:32 already. Time really does fly." Demyx smiled looking at Zexion.
"Very." Zexion nodded rolling his sleeve back down while peering across the room. That's it! Zexion couldn't take it anymore. Now.
"Demyx…" Zexion looked over at the brunette.
"What be it Zexy!?" Demyx asked looking back into Zexion darker blue eyes.
Okay… What now…? Zexion asked himself. He should have given this more thought…
"I…" Zexion started but stopped when Demyx's attention was lost somewhere over Zexion's shoulder.
"Eeeeek! ZEXY!" Demyx said running past him and straight over to the window.
"Holy shit Demyx! What is it?" Zexion turned around to see what Demyx's excitement was about.
"Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow Snow SNOW! Lookit!" Demyx said nearly jumping up and down.
Zexion walked over casually and paused beside the brunette. He peered out the large window. Outside, white beads fell from the dark night sky.
"The first snowfall of the holiday month." Zexion nodded.
"Finally! I love snow!" Demyx smiled.
"I know you do." Zexion forced a smile. Good. This distraction gave him some time.
"C'mon Zexy! Let's go outside!" Demyx giggled looking over into his eyes.
"It's pretty cold and there isn't really anything on the ground outside."
"Doesn't matter!" Demyx said running over to his closet to put a pair of shoes on. Zexion nodded and walked over to his shoes and put them on. Then he grabbed his coat and follow Demyx who already had a head start. He followed him down the hallway, down the stairs, and out the door.
"Whee!" Demyx said looking up at the starry sky. Zexion stayed by the door watching.
"Oh c'mon Zexy!" Demyx said running up to him. Demyx pulled at his arm and Zexion had no choice but to follow him to the sidewalk.
"Isn't this great!?" Demyx asked him continuing to catch snowflakes in his mouth.
"Yeah." Zexion said holding out his hand which immediately caught a white flake. It stayed for a few moments until it finally turned to water, melting in Zexion warm hands. Zexion looked up from his hands and at Demyx. Snow dotted his brown spiky hair and Zexion had to smile. It was great.
"I can't wait for tomorrow Zexy." Demyx said coming to stand by his side.
"Why is that?" Zexion asked him watching the snow fall.
"Well. Tomorrow is Christmas day." Demyx smiled and leaned on Zexion's side. Zexion nearly jumped but he held himself back.
"That and tomorrow, there will be a layer of snow on the ground." Demyx giggled.
"This will be the first white Christmas I've had in a long time." Zexion looked out across the campus.
"Same here." Demyx nodded and took a deep breath which turned to white.
"Okay. We can go back inside now." Demyx giggled stiffening.
"Mhm." Zexion said starting back to the building. They climbed up the stairs and walked back into Demyx's dorm. Zexion took his shoes off and coat while Demyx did the same.
"Hehe." Demyx giggled looking at Zexion.
"What is it Demyx?" Zexion looked back and raised an eyebrow.
Demyx walked over and stood in front of Zexion. "You have snow in your hair!" He smiled.
Zexion ran his fingers through his hair once. "You do too." Zexion said.
Demyx shook his head. "So, hot chocolate?" Demyx asked.
"Hot Chocolate would be good." Zexion nodded.
"Kays!" Demyx said walking into the kitchen to prepare hot water.
"Marshmallows?"
"Please." Zexion said planning on what to say while still keeping out of space.
"M&M's?"
"M&M's? Never heard of putting M&M's in hot chocolate…" Zexion's thought process ended.
"It's good. Hehe."
"Sure. M&M's are good." Zexion nodded trying to get back on his train of thought.
"I first tried it at a Christmas party from a while ago. It gave the drink a more chocolaty taste. Just a warning!" Demyx smiled.
"I'll manage." Zexion nodded.
"Oh, and I may as well warn you now too… Hot Coco can either make me extremely hyper, or it can make me tired. I dunno which will happen." Demyx giggled.
"More hyper then you already are on a day's basis?" Zexion asked.
"Oh yes." Demyx smiled pouring the hot water into the cup filled with hot chocolate mix.
A few moments later, Demyx returned to the couch with two mugs filled with hot liquid.
"Thanks Demyx." Zexion said taking the mug out of his hand.
"No problem!" Demyx said sitting down next to Zexion. Zexion blew the steam off the drink and took a small sip successfully not burning himself.
"Mmm." Demyx said putting the mug on the table and licking the chocolate off his top lip.
"Ooh what show is playing now?" Demyx said clicking on the TV.
"Looks like a holiday movie." Zexion said looking at the screen.
"Yeah. I don't know if I've seen it before." Demyx said placing the remote back on the couch and clicking off the lights. The movie played through. Some parts were boring others were okay. Zexion didn't notice. He was too busy thinking.
Demyx yawned beside him and to Zexion surprise; he rested his head on Zexion shoulder. His chest started to hurt but he accepted it.
"Tired it was." Demyx said. "If I fall asleep, don't hesitate to wake me. I won't torch you with a flame thrower like Axel would." Demyx giggled.
"Will do." Zexion nodded staring blankly at the screen. God damnit. What if Demyx fell asleep and Zexion lost his chance to tell him? Aw shit.
"Demyx?" Zexion said straightening words in his head to the right order.
Demyx lifted his head off Zexion's shoulder and looked into Zexion's eyes. "I wasn't sleeping!" He nearly shouted.
"No. That's not it." Zexion sighed.
"Oh…" Demyx's face turned a pale red.
"Do… You remember… That one time when you came over? You asked what was wrong with me and I said that I would tell you sooner or later?" Zexion asked him praying that he did remember.
"Oh. Yes! Are you finally going to tell me?" Demyx's face seemed to glow from the light that came from the television.
"Maybe not tell you…" Zexion said taking a giant risk and pushing the brunette down so he was lying down on the couch. Demyx let out a small gasp as Zexion leaned over him so Demyx was pinned down.
"But… I can indeed show you." Zexion said leaning down and kissing the brunette. The taste of hot chocolate and M&M's slowly filled Zexion mouth as he managed to slide his tongue in the other guy's mouth. To Zexion's modest surprise, he wasn't pushed away. Zexion took it for his advantage. Slowly, he ran his fingers through Demyx's hair pressing their heads closer together. Still, Demyx wasn't pulling himself away. Surprising. Zexion pushed himself even closer to Demyx so that their chests were touching each other through the fabric of their shirts. Zexion still wanted more. It was overwhelming but he wanted it. He needed it. God Damnit! Timidly Zexion found his way to the bottom of Demyx's shirt with Zexion's free hand. He felt the soft skin underneath the thin fabric. Demyx gasped and finally accepted it. Demyx wrapped his hands around Zexion's back. Zexion moved his lips away from Demyx's mouth and slid them down to his collarbone planting small kisses occasionally nipping at the exposed flesh as he went up to the top of his neck.
"Zexion…" Demyx managed to speak within breaths.
"Mmmmm…?" Zexion let out between kisses.
"How…. Lo…ng have…?
"Too long." Zexion murmured wanting this more then anything he ever wanted in the world. Slowly he started working on the buttons that held Demyx's pants together.
"Zexi…" Demyx gasped.
"You don't want..?" Zexion managed to stop himself from going to far.
"…Don't stop…" Demyx said before his mouth was met by Zexion warm lips again. Zexion continued to do what he was doing before. This would truly be a Christmas that he and Demyx would never forget.
The room that Zexion was unfamiliar to was dark. The curtain was pulled so it was blocking any moonlight that casted through. Clothes lied scattered across the blue carpeted room. Everything was silent until a small whisper broke it.
"Zexy…?" It spoke.
"Mmm?" came a reply.
"I love you."
"I love you too Demyx." Zexion said wrapping his arms across the brunette's wet chest and pulling him closer. He sighed and for once in a long time, Zexion was happy.
"Zexy?"
"Shh. Sleep." Was his only reply before he closed his eyes and nothing else mattered except that Demyx loved him.
"So are we meeting up with Axel and Roxas for lunch?" Zexion asked Demyx.
"Yup!" Demyx smiled while walking out into the cold air. "Hey Zexy. It's snowing again."
"I can see that." Zexion smiled and held out his hand catching a single flake in his warm hands. It melted in a few moments and Zexion turned his head to watch Demyx catch snowflakes in his mouth.
"Mm. Snow is good." Demyx smiled.
"It's just frozen water, Demyx." Zexion sighed.
"Water is good." Demyx replied catching another one.
"Natures water is always purest." Zexion nodded reciting a verse from a book he had read a while ago.
"Hehe." Demyx paused for a second while getting down to ground level.
"Demyx, you okay?" Zexion asked putting his hand on the brunettes shoulder.
"Gotcha." Demyx said as Zexion was hit with a ball of snow. Zexion sighed and wiped the snow off of his face.
"Good one." Zexion nodded.
"Wasn't it? Hehe. Sorry Zexion. I just couldn't resist."
"I'll remember that." Zexion said continuing to walk down the snowy sidewalk to the cafeteria.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!? Wait up! You and I know well enough that you couldn't do that!" Demyx said charging after him, the new snow crunching under his boots.
"Really?" Zexion hummed.
"You love me too much."
"Maybe so." Zexion said kissing Demyx's warm lips.
"Maybe? Demyx asked after Zexion pulled away. "If that's a maybe then what was that?"
"I don't know." Zexion said having fun teasing the brunette.
"I don't get it…" Demyx scratched his head.
"I'm just teasing." Zexion sighed.
"Oh. Okay. Good to hear." Demyx smiled. Zexion nodded and put his hands back into his pocket. As he did, his ID card fell out.
"Hold up Demyx." Zexion said reaching down to grab it.
"What happened?" Demyx said looking back.
"Revenge." Zexion said throwing a snowball and hitting Demyx in the same place he was hit.
"Hehe. You'd better watch your back Zexy!" Demyx grinned wiping the frozen liquid off his face.
"Good but I'd suggest not throwing snow in the cafeteria." Zexion said holding the door open.
"Sure." Demyx said walking through. Zexion followed and they sat down in their natural spot.
"Want anything?" Demyx asked before he sat down.
"Cheeseburger please. I'll buy for you as well." Zexion nodded handing him a ten.
"Okays. Be back in a sec!" Then Demyx rushed off. Zexion sighed and kept his eye open for a tall redhead or a short blond. Soon, he caught sight of them.
"Hey Zexion." Axel greeted him while sitting down.
"Hello Axel, Roxas." Zexion nodded.
"Merry late Christmas?" Roxas said picking his head up from the table.
"Oh. Yeah. Sorry Demyx and I weren't there yesterday…" Zexion bit his lip.
"Yeah. What was up with that anyhow?" Axel asked. "Then again… I got to spend all yesterday with my Roxy." He added pulled the blond closer.
"You'll probably find out later…" Zexion took a deep breath.
"Okay…?" Axel blinked.
"Hey guys!" Demyx said happily sitting down next to Zexion with a tray of food.
"Hey Dem!" Axel grinned.
"Hi Demyx." Roxas said.
"Man it feels like a long time since I've been to this cafeteria!" Demyx exclaimed while passing the cheeseburger Zexion ordered to him.
"Thanks, and Demyx, you were here Christmas Eve. Not sure how you forget a place in a day…" Zexion looked into Demyx's eyes.
"Well… I don't know… But… I haven't seen Axel or Roxas in a while. That was the first time I stayed in my dorm all day in a while."
"Why'd you stay in your dorm all day anyhow?" Roxas asked.
Hopefully he doesn't just blurt it out. Zexion said to himself shaking his head.
"Guys, Zexion is my boyfriend now." Demyx smiled and looked over into Zexion's dark blue eyes. Oh god… What's the response…?
"Wow. I never thought Zexion had it in himself." Axel snickered.
Zexion closed his eyes and looked away feeling his face turn hot.
"Yup!" Demyx smiled.
"Never saw that coming." Roxas nodded agreeing with Axel.
"Well it's one hundred percent true." Zexion nodded.
"I believe you." Roxas looked at Axel. "Dunno if he does."
"Who me?" Axel pointed to himself looking rather confused.
"No the guy sitting next to you." Roxas rolled his dark blue eyes.
Axel turned around and when he turned back he gave a 'what' look.
"YES SPAZ, you!" Roxas sighed.
"That's not very nice…" Axel said.
"…"
"What was the question?!" Axel looked around.
"Ugh. Never mind Axel." Roxas sighed again.
"Okay…?"
Just then, Zexion heard a familiar voice say Hi. He turned around and his eyes caught sight of a dark brunette walking closely next to a silver haired guy who had his arm around the brunette's neck came coming to their table. Wait… Wasn't that Sora and Riku? Wow… It's been a while.
"Hey guys." Riku sitting down next to Demyx and Sora sitting next to Roxas.
"Hey Riku, Sora, What's up? Never seen you in the cafeteria before." Roxas nodded in greeting.
"We usually come later on. Today we came earlier hoping that we could see you guys. Merry Christmas!" Sora smiled.
"Merry Christmas." Roxas agreed.
"It's Christmas again?" Axel asked Roxas.
"Okay, Axel don't hurt yourself…" Roxas looked at the emerald eyed redhead.
"Will do!" Axel grinned.
"Hey Sora! Hey Riku!" Demyx sang happily.
"Hey Dem." Riku nodded.
"Hi Demyx!" Sora gave a quick wave.
"It's… Zexion… Right?" Sora asked.
"Mhm." Zexion nodded.
"Oh. Well, Hi!" Sora chirped.
"Lot's of people at the table today!" Demyx smiled.
"Yeah. Different. I'm used to four." Zexion nodded.
"Used to it." Riku replied.
"Usually, we just sit together as four. Axel, Demyx, Zexion, and I." Roxas said.
"Oh Hey, Speaking of which, When's next practice?" Axel said picking his head up from the table.
"Soon. I dunno when." Riku said.
"Monday." Sora smiled.
"Ah Okay! What about the game?" Demyx asked.
"Wednesday." Sora smiled.
"Hey Zexy wanna come to the game? I can get you good tickets! Right on the sidelines almost." Demyx smiled.
"Sure Demyx. I'd love to." Zexion smiled.
"Whee! Okay! And-…" Demyx started
"Practice? Sure." Zexion finished for him.
"Okay!" Demyx smiled and gave Zexion a quick side hug. Zexion sighed and closed his eyes making the warmth of the hug last longer then it actually was.
"So, right from the sidelines?" Zexion asked again when they were outside of the warm cafeteria and into the cold outdoors.
"Right on the sidelines." Demyx smiled happily.
"Sounds great." Zexion said kissing the brunette on the cheek.
