"I'll see you later tonight for the dance, ok?" Demyx hugged me outside of Aerith's house.
"I'll miss you." I said before he left with Axel and Roxas.
I greeted Aerith, started my homework, and then took a long, much needed nap.
"Zexion?" I could hear my voice through my dreamless sleep.
"M?" I took a deep breath.
"Zexion, you should wake up." I felt something sit on my bed.
"Huh?" I opened my eyes to see Aerith sitting at my side.
"Your date will be here in an hour in a half, and I know that students usually spend hours getting ready for a dance." Aerith smiled as I sprang up.
"Need to get ready!" I shouted as I ran off to the shower.
I rushed to get ready, which includes having to perfect my hair, my wardrobe, and I even painted my nails. I used to paint them black all the time but Aerith told me that I couldn't use black while I lived with her, since it didn't 'help me 'heal', so instead I used blue. I never cared all that much for nail polish, but I did like the way it looked with the outfit that Demyx picked out for us to wear to the dance together. I didn't tell Demyx that I planned on painting my nails for the dance, but I saw the same shade of blue polish in his room once, so I thought he'd be surprised and happy to see that I bought it as well.
After an hour of getting ready as carefully as I could, I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair was teased, straightened, and looking Demyx-boyfriend worthy. My nails were a shiny royal blue, my white pants and shirt were spotless, and my blue tie and suspenders were perfectly aligned. I was rather proud of my appearance, which is kind of rare, so I was really looking forward to showing my boyfriend.
Within ten minutes after that, I got my wish as Aerith yelled my name, saying that my date and friends were here. I ran into the living room and when I saw Demyx's stunning body, I froze. I wanted to crawl back into my room and hide under my bed, because he looked so perfectly gorgeous that even though I slaved to try to compare, I just couldn't. His blonde hair was teased upward with enough hairspray to keep his Mohawk looking fresh throughout the night. He even trimmed the sides a bit to make his Mohawk stand out more, and it looked so adorable that I wanted to run my fingers through it so badly. His pants were hanging low on his hips while his crisp tucked in shirt slimmed down his figure that his suspenders highlighted. His matching tie only made his torso look longer and that much more appealing. By the time I noticed that he was wearing guyliner, I realized that he was also wearing small diamond earrings.
I've been dating him this entire time, but I had never even known that his ears were pierced! And then, just when I didn't think I could take any more of his beauty, I saw that his nails were painted the same blue as mine.
"My, don't you two look adorable!" Aerith clasped her hands together as I blushed. Her voice brought me out of my stunned stupor.
"Zexion, you're absolutely handsome." Demyx looked so shy, that his words felt all the more true, which was such a huge compliment coming from the angel that he is.
"Demy looks even better." I had to take a deep breath to calm myself down.
"Trust me, that's not possible." Demyx's eyes and words were so simple and yet sincere that I felt my cheeks heat up.
"You two really are going to be the best couple at the dance." Aerith smiled, reminding me that I wasn't just dreaming of my boyfriend's attractiveness, but that we were actually awake and in her living room. She took our picture before she commented again how cute we were for matching.
"Demy's idea." I put my hand on my boyfriend's tummy, wanting so badly to rub it and arouse him, but I figured that with Aerith right there, it probably wasn't the best idea.
"Well Axel came up with the idea, and he and Roxas are in the car, so we should join them before they enjoy their alone time a little too much." Demyx shrugged lightly as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Alright, well you two be safe, text me if you need me, and give me a call when you're on your way to Axels after, ok?" Aerith asked and I nodded.
"We'll be fine. Bye Aerith!" Demyx gave her a hug, and I did too before I took Demyx's hand and walked outside.
Demyx was talking about his obsession with some new band when I realized that Axel and Roxas were making out in Axel's car.
I rolled my eyes just as Demyx opened the door to the backseat, clearing his throat which thankfully did the trick.
"Hey Zexion!" Axel coughed after he pried his lips off of his boyfriends.
"Hey Axe, hi Rox." I waved as I slid in after Demyx.
"You two look really cute." Roxas smiled, his face still a bit red as Axel started the car.
The two were each wearing black skinny jeans, black button up shirts, a red tie, and red suspenders. It was the same outfit as Demyx and I, but with different colors.
"You two look nice too." I said back before I cuddled into Demyx's open arm, snuggling into his side, rubbing my cheek on his chest.
"So I was thinking that we go dance for a bit, and then once we get back to my place we can watch a movie?" Axel suggested and we all nodded.
"I really can't wait to dance with my boy," Demyx rested his head on my head, causing me to gulp anxiously at the idea of being so close to his swaying, sweaty body. I know I've danced with him before, but we didn't really dance long at Seifers party, and DDR isn't very romantic.
"Demy, you pierce your ear today?" I asked, wondering if I really had gone all that long without noticing.
"No, I've had it pierced for years, but I never wear earrings because of swimming. But I figured that the school dance is a good enough excuse to break them out." Demyx shrugged with a smile. "Do you not like them?" he asked, quickly frowning.
"No, I love them. Think they're sexy." I coughed shyly.
"Ooooh, Zexy likes bad boys!" Axel chuckled as I hid further into Demyx's side.
Axel and Demyx talked about homework while I got cozy, about ready to fall asleep as I rested against my energetic boyfriend.
"Well, are you all ready to shake your booties?" Axel asked as he parked by the school gym.
"Hell yeah!" Demyx shook my shoulder, trying to pump me up. I groaned, already missing the comfortable position I was in.
"Demyyyy!" I whined as my boyfriend started pulling me out of the backseat.
"The sooner we get out, the sooner we can hold each other dancing." Demyx explained, and it was a very convincing argument, so I hopped out and took his hand as we entered inside the heavily decorated gymnasium.
"It's so neon!" Demyx said in awe at the theme of the dance which reflected in the lights and decorations.
"Come on Axe!" Roxas dragged Axel to the dance floor anxiously.
"I wouldn't think that Roxas would be that eager to dance." Demyx said curiously.
"Probably wants to grind." I snickered, knowing that I myself was actually excited at the idea.
"Well, shall we then?" Demyx offered me his arm and I gladly took it.
Demyx led me to the dance floor, right by Axel and Roxas just as a vulgar rap song came on. I didn't know how Demyx would want to dance with me, so I looked over at Roxas to see him backing his ass up into Axel's groin, all while Axel circled his hips onto Roxas' back. I turned back to Demyx, who stood behind me and grabbed my hips, slowly and gently pushing his body into mine. I grinned as I pushed my body against his, adding a light pressure to the increasing friction of our dancing. I wanted to full on smash my body into his, like Roxas and Axel were doing, but I knew better than to scare Demyx away during the first song. We continued this movement of swaying lightly into each other, even when the song changed and I noticed that Roxas and Axel were hardcore grinding, their hands on the back of each others necks as they pounded their crotches together. I gulped as I watched Axel roughly place his hands on Roxas' ass and forced the blondes body as close to his as physically possible. Roxas looped his hands around Axels neck and exhaled dramatically on Axels chest.
I turned around and decided to put my arms under Demyx's, bending them upward so that my hands were on his shoulders while my elbows rested by his sides.
Demyx responded by placing one arm around my back and his other hand on my hip. I smiled up at him, nestling my head under his chin as I felt his body press firmly against mine, arousing my desire for more of him.
We danced at a steady pace against each other for a few more songs until some more techno-like music came on, and Demyx let go of me so he could dance more freely. I noticed that Axel and Roxas had done the same, so I stepped from side to side shyly, not knowing what else to do. Demyx got really into it for a long time, dancing like a pro, so I went with Roxas to the bathroom while our boyfriends continued to enjoy the music.
"Man, its hot in that pile of people." Roxas panted as we finally made it inside the empty bathroom. It was quiet with the exception of the dance music seeping in shyly through the walls.
"Yeah, already tired." I sighed, my body desperate to just snuggle with my boyfriend.
"Well we've been here for a while, so the slow songs should be starting soon." Roxas said as he used a urinal. I nodded as I washed my hands and fixed my loose strands of hair.
Once we exited the bathroom, we tried to look for our boyfriends, since the dance floor was crowded with many couples.
"Do you see them?" Roxas asked me, but I shook my head.
"Axel?" I pointed to what looked like red. It was hard enough to find Axel's bright hair with the neon lights going off, but having strobe lights mixed in the chaos only made it all the more difficult.
"I think so. Come on," Roxas took my hand as we weaved through the masses of people, inching towards the assumed Axel. We both smiled when we realized that it was the redhead we had been searching for, but when I didn't see Demyx, I sighed.
"Demy?" I tried to call out but was muted by the loud techno music. Then, I saw him. No, not Demyx, in fact, it was the one person I didn't want to see. His dark ponytail and tall figure isn't what caught my attention; it was his ugly yellow eye and his eye patch and scar that made me want to hurl.
"Zex, you ok?" Roxas asked me as I snarled. I've never been one for confrontations, but then again, I never really had a need for them. With my aunt and uncle, I knew that avoidance was my best and most effective method. But now, with Demyx, I feel like I have something to lose, which means I have something to defend.
"Xigbar," I muttered, wanting to take care of it once and for all.
"Where's Demyx?" the blonde asked me, but I only shrugged.
"Going to go look for him." I explained before I took the few necessary steps to get to Xigbar.
"Hey!" I put my arm on his shoulder, a few inches higher than mine.
"Oh, you," He scoffed as he turned around.
"Where's Demyx?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Don't know. I grinded against his ass for a while before he noticed. He thought it was you, so he backed up into me, nice and hard. Pretty sure I felt him getting aroused too." He smirked as I gulped in anger. "I kissed his neck and put my hands on his hips, and when he turned to kiss me, he got scared and left." Xigbar took a deep breath before he leaned in close. "I don't know why he loves you, but I wouldn't get used to it if I were you." Xigbar reached to touch my face, but I swatted his hand away. He grinned and before I knew it, he was choking me with one hand. I stood in shock, my air taken away from me as I held onto his wrist, my eyes shifting around anxiously, hoping someone would notice. It was all in despair as the dancing teens around us were too entertained by the changing colored lights and intense music that drowned out my fear of being seriously hurt. I went on my tip toes, trying to get even just the slightest bit of air to save me from panicking when my savior came.
"Cut it out!" Demyx yelled over the music to barely to be heard as he tugged on Xigbar's arm.
"As you wish." Xigbar released me just before Demyx held me.
"Xigbar I swear to god if you ever touch him again," Demyx panted while I chocked, trying to catch my breath.
"As if," Xigbar rolled his eye with a sigh before he walked away.
"Are you ok?" Demyx asked me, standing right by my side to be heard. I nodded as I took a few deep breaths. "Zex, I, I'm so sorry." Demyx held me as I exhaled loudly. I knew it wasn't his fault, but what upset me most wasn't what Xigbar did; it was knowing what I was going to do.
"Demy, need air." I whined, hoping he would offer to walk me onto the patio, where some couples enjoyed the fresh air to take a break from the crazy dancing, lights, and music.
"Ok," Demyx took my hand and guided me through the masses before we walked outside to an unoccupied bench and sat down side by side. "I love you." Demyx kept an arm around me as I rested on his shoulder, thinking through my risky plan. I knew the consequences wouldn't be good considering we were at a public dance, but I didn't care.
"Love you too." I said, wondering how mad Demyx would be as a result of my potential actions. No, they weren't potential. I was going to do it. I needed to fight Xigbar.
I didn't plan on making it anything too big, but I needed to make it clear that I want going to let him steal my Demyx away from me. All along I've been fighting against my unhealthy urges, or at least trying to, to prove that I can be the sort of person that Demyx deserves. What good would it be if I lose to Xigbar?
"Demy, I promise I be better boyfriend." I said, sounding random, but I needed him to know it.
"What?" Demyx asked, a bit confused before shook his head with a smile. "Baby you're already a great boyfriend, and I love you so very much." Demyx kissed my temple as I rubbed my neck. "You sure you're ok?" he looked worried as I nodded.
"Knew he wasn't going to kill me. Just, a little scary," I admitted quietly.
"Oh Zexion." Demyx held me even tighter. "I'm so sorry baby. I, I promise I'll lecture his ass off next time I have to see him at practice. And please know that I'd never cheat on you, or even consider anyone else." Demyx pushed me off of his shoulder so he could smile in my eyes.
"It's ok Demy. I know you care." I gave a deceptive smile. I was only so positive because images of my planned revenge were pleasing to the mind.
"Good. Are you ready to go back in? I think they're going to start playing the slow songs now, and I'd love to dance romantically with you in my arms." Demyx looked so excited and so sweet that I gave a genuine nod, ready to hear his heartbeat and have our bodies touching. It wasn't even about the sexual desire, but about the need to be as close to him as he would let me be. As soon we entered the gymnasium again, Demyx's prediction came true. The school president, Riku, talked over the loud-speaker, telling us all to find our special someone and enjoy a slow, sweet, dance.
"May I?" I asked nervously, even though I knew that Demyx would say yes.
"I'd be honored." Demyx smiled at me before he pulled me into a tight hold. I let my head fall against his shoulder, grinning when I saw how cute Axel and Roxas looked dancing the exact same way that Demyx and I were. Demyx kept his hands on my waist as I lazily kept mine on his shoulder blades.
"I love you." Demyx whispered in my ear.
"I love you too," I shuddered back, my heartbeat racing as he lightly smooched my ear. I gulped. I had never told Demyx, but my ear is one of my spots. Every time there is pressure by my ear, my throat swells up and I get ...aroused.
"Demy? More kiss?" I asked and he chuckled before he returned his lips to my ear, kissing it gently. Just as my eyes were reduced to slits, Demyx flickered his tongue over my ear lobe. I let out a moan, my mouth hanging open without any control as he snaked his tongue up my ear, inside, as I gripped his shoulders. I trembled as he exhaled on my tender ear, his mouth so close on my body, that I could feel his lips curl into a smile each time he breathed out. I whimpered, my body shaking as I tried not to lose total control of my body. That plan went out the window once Demyx pushed his sneaky, wet tongue in my ear, as if he were trying to get inside my head.
"Nygh!" I tensed up violently as he thrusted his tongue in as far as it could go.
"Ahee!" I whimpered again, going on my toes to give him better access.
Demyx gently pulled his tongue back, kissed my wet ear, and then kissed my temple.
"That was fun," Demyx whispered as I tried to stabilize my breathing. The entire time, we continued to slow dance against each other, feeding my passion for my true love.
"Demy, tired." I whined, going weak as I craved his body and weight on mine. I wanted to go to Axels house and lay down in Demyx's bed with his muscle crushing down on me. My imagination alone was teasing me as I blinked innocently up at my boyfriend. His beauty and sexiness was so overpowering, I nearly forgot about my plan for revenge on that one eyed creep.
"I think Roxas is tired too, look." Demyx smiled as he nodded over at our friends. Roxas had his eyes closed as Axel held him up against his slender body.
Demyx stopped dancing, and I joined him as we walked up to Axel.
"You two ready?" Demyx asked as Axel massaged Roxas' back.
"You ready baby?" Axel asked and Roxas nodded.
"Zexion's sleepy too." Demyx giggled as Roxas rubbed his eyes.
"Nap time." Roxas grinned at me as we headed towards the gymnasium's exit, where I knew Xigbar was waiting outside with some of his other teammates from Demyx's swim team.
"Alright, we still up for the movie?" Axel asked as we made it outside, and I quickly scanned for my target.
"Yeah, I'm down." Demyx shrugged just as I made eye contact with Xigbar. He was talking with Marluxia, but once he saw me, he winked.
"Oh, um, need to go to bathroom. Meet you in car." I nodded at Demyx, who smiled.
"Ok baby, hurry." Demyx kissed my cheek as I turned around and headed back towards the gym, back towards Xigbar.
By then, Xigbar's back was towards me, so I walked up as casually as I could, pacing my breath as I veered off course from the gym and kept my eyes and feet fixed towards Xigbar. I was almost within arms reach of his back when I turned and saw Demyx, who was looking at me, confused. I gulped and gave him a regret frown before he slowly shook his head at me, as if to warn me, as if he could read my mind. I shook my head back, and when I turned to face Xigbar, I poked his shoulder lightly.
"Huh? Oh you," Xigbar nearly laughed at me.
"Um, Xiggy?" I went for the small and helpless look, faking nerves.
"What?" he asked, disgusted.
"Demy's my boyfriend. Not yours." I said as convincingly as I could.
"Is that so?" Xigbar put his hands on his hips and bent down to be eye level with me, doing exactly what I predicted, feeding into my plan.
"Yes, and one other thing," I put my finger to my lip, acting shy and scared.
"What is it?" Xigbar baby talked to mock me.
"Fuck you!" I yelled before I socked him in his good eye.
"Zexion!" I could hear Demyx shout my name as Xigbar covered his face with his hands.
"Why you little!" Xigbar went to hit my nose, but I ducked in time. He was quick to make up for his first miss by grabbing my tie and using it to shove me up against the outside wall of the gym.
"Hey!" Axel ran up with Demyx while Xigbar had me pinned. I kicked my legs, making contact with his body, but not doing the damage I was hoping for.
"Xiggy release him, now!" Demyx pushed Xigbar as he let me fall to my shaky feet.
"Stay away from my boyfriend!" I shouted, angering the freak once more.
"Say it to my face!" Xigbar leaned forward just as I did, ready to hit him again. Axel intervened, pulling my body close to his while Demyx put a hand on Xigbar's chest.
"Let it go, both of you." Demyx said while Xigbar and I eyed each other, inching towards the other as best we could.
"Hmph, he started it," Xigbar scoffed as I growled.
"You did!" I yelled back.
"I was just standing here and then you punched me."
"Tried to choke me!"
"Both of you! That is enough!" Axel said sternly as he held my body tightly in front of his. I snarled while Xigbar smirked at me, burning my eyes with his stupid cockiness.
"Emo freak," Xigbar rolled his eyes at me as I wriggled in Axel's grip.
"Fucking dumbass!" I spat back.
"Zexion, stop." Demyx warned me calmly with a finger.
"He needs stop touching my Demy!" I pointed to Xigbar before Axel shushed me.
"He won't be your Demy long." Xigbar mocked as I let out a low growl.
"Xigbar, be quiet." Demyx was quick yet polite, trying to remain stable amongst our chaos.
"Come on, let's go," Axel started pulling me to the car, but I wasn't ready to leave.
"That's right. Carry the pet into his cage," Xigbar chuckled as I snapped.
"Bitch!" I pushed Axel away and landed one more punch to Xigbar's face while he was busy laughing.
"You little suicidal bastard!" Xigbar nailed me in the gut as I bent over, gasping for air.
"Shit!" Someone coughed awkwardly as Demyx's coach exited the gym, probably having heard us yelling and fighting.
"Everything ok?" The swim coach asked, as one of the chaperons for the dance.
"Yeah, the little guy was getting too claustrophobic inside, so he needed some fresh air." Xigbar patted my back as I coughed, still hunched over.
"Is that so?" The tall coach lifted an eyebrow. We all went silent as Axel looked to Demyx, who looked way too intimidated to even breathe. "And your eye is black, why?" He asked Xigbar and I gulped.
"Someone was moshing to the techno songs earlier. It was an accident." Xigbar shrugged playfully.
"I see. Don't get cocky. Your scholarship is no good if you're beating up other students." His coach lectured dryly before he went back inside. Axel let out a sigh of relief while Demyx shook his head, probably to clear it.
"Heh, weakling." Xigbar patted my back roughly before I smacked his arm away.
"Fuck you," I muttered, trying to control my breathing as Xigbar rolled up his sleeves.
"Hey, get lost." Marluxia stepped between us as he stared down at me. I wanted to continue beating on that creep but before I could even respond to Marluxia, Demyx snatched me in his arms and dragged me to Axel's car.
"Let me go! Not finished!" I squirmed until I felt Axel helping Demyx.
"Yes you are." Demyx said sternly, forcing me into the backseat where he remained with me.
"For you, I'll let this slide." Marluxia told Demyx before he went back to check on Xigbar.
"Thanks Marly," Demyx muttered before he shut the door, allowing Axel to start the car all while Roxas sat with wide eyes in the front seat. Axel let out a huge sigh as we drove silently the entire way back to his house. Demyx wasn't even looking at me as I stared out the window, wondering if he was really all that mad at me, and if he was, how long it would take before he blew it all off.
"So about that movie?" Axel asked right as he parked the car.
"I'm still willing to watch it." Roxas spoke up.
"Might fall asleep but ok." I agreed, trying to end the awkward silence on my part.
"Sure," Demyx said, sounding tired, but not as angry as I had guessed. We were all pretty quiet as we marched into the house and followed Axel's idea of getting ready for bed first before starting the movie.
"Rox, your tie is crooked," Axel said as we all entered the living room.
"Well I'm about to take it off," Roxas said, putting his hand over it before Axel snatched it, a bit rough, yet kinky all the same.
"You want help?" Axel asked with a smirk as Roxas chuckled.
"Mmm," Roxas smooched his boyfriend as he toyed with Axel's suspenders, running his hands along the back, down inside Axel's pants.
"Oooh," Axel titled his head to the side as he gripped the tie tightly, pulling Roxas into a heated kiss.
"Too tight," Roxas gasped before Axel apologized.
"Better?" Axel asked as he loosened the tie around Roxas' neck and slipped it over his head. He took the blonde's hand and put it through the loop, tightening it as he secured Roxas' wrist in the hole.
"Axel?" Roxas asked with curious eyes as his boyfriend removed his own tie and placed it around Roxas' other wrist.
"You're coming, with me," Axel winked as he pulled on the ends of the ties, escorting his prisoner to his room, who seemed more than willing to follow.
"Thirty minutes." Axel reminded Demyx and I before he and Roxas escaped to his room.
"So," I said quietly after Demyx shut his bedroom door and started removing his tie and suspenders, in a much less sexy way than Axel and Roxas.
"What was that for, Zex?" Demyx asked, quiet, yet frustrated. Right away I knew he was referring to Xigbar.
"Said mean things when you were gone." I whispered, hurt and just as angry.
"What was resorting to violence and cussing going to solve?" Demyx put a hand to his head.
"Tried to choke me." I reminded my boyfriend, my voice straining.
"So don't stoop to his level!" Demyx raised his voice as I sighed.
"I not sorry." I folded my arms, stubborn.
"Well I am. I hated how Xigbar was so dumb and that he used violence on you. To see you do it back, it doesn't make you any better." Demyx gulped before he walked into his bathroom, shut the door, and locked it. I rolled my eyes before I helped myself to Demyx's closet, picking out some basketball shorts and a plain blue T shirt to sleep in. I used the guest bathroom's shower and within ten minutes, I was the first one waiting alone in the living room, thinking about what Demyx said.
I can see why he was so bothered that by me using my fists, I was only using the same idiotic method that Xigbar tried, but I had good reason. I was defending myself, and Demyx.
"Hey," Axel sat next to me, clean and hair up in a ponytail, still a bit damp.
"Hey," I muttered back hopelessly.
"Look, I know I shouldn't be saying this in front of Demyx so I'll say it now. I don't blame you for what you did. In fact, if he were hitting on Roxas, I'd remove his other eye." Axel smiled encouragingly, making me smile back.
"Thanks Axe."
"I know Demyx is mad because he hates physical violence, but deep down, I know that he cares that you were willing to fight for him. By the way, good punch, both were awesome. I was cheering for you on the inside." Axel winked before he got up and returned to his room to 'help' Roxas get dressed. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, smiling, actually proud of myself, for once. I was willing to fight for my boyfriend, and I just wanted him to appreciate it.
"Can we talk?" Demyx surprised me after I had shut my eyes for just a few minutes. I nodded as I scooted over on the couch. "Look, I, I'm sorry I compared you to Xigbar. You are better, there's no questioning that. I just, I don't want to date a bully Zex."
"Was just defending myself, and you."
"No, defending yourself would be using self defense as he's attacking you. He wasn't hurting you when you hit him. What he did was stupid and wrong, but what you did was nothing more than selfish revenge." Demyx said, having the perfect morals, as always.
"Was angry. Hated the things he said about you."
"What did he say?"
"Said that he grinded against your ass. Said he kissed your neck. Was so jealous. No one else can touch or kiss my Demy." I said, looking up into Demyx's eyes with my hurt pair.
"I know Zex." Demyx held me gently. "I swear I didn't mean to. I was foolish to not turn around and make sure it was you. I'm sorry." He kissed my head.
"Was an accident for Demy, but not for Xigbar. Had to teach him his lesson."
"No, you're not a teacher Zex. That's not your responsibility."
"Is justice."
"No, it's revenge." Demyx continued to lecture me.
"Was just one black eye." I sighed.
"Yeah and it's senseless violence that caused it." Demyx seemed more upset than he was a minute ago, so when I looked up into his eyes and tried to read his emotions, I figured it out. It was obvious. Demyx was a victim of child abuse, even I knew that. Me hitting Xigbar must have been parallel in his eyes to the way his dad used to hit him.
I gulped, knowing why it bothered him so much, but still not sure how to handle it.
"I sorry Demy." I started with a sincere apology.
"You said you weren't a second ago," Demyx mumbled.
"Was angry. I just wanted Xigbar to feel my pain, but it's not right. Should have used words, not violence. Don't want to be a monster." I said as Demyx nodded.
"You're not a monster Zex. Just promise me to stay away from Xigbar, ok? I don't want him trying to hurt you either. I will defend you, and myself, but I really don't want to be involved with something that doesn't need to happen ok?" Demyx gave me a small smile, as if to say that he was moving on, so I smiled back.
"Deal. I love you Demy." I kissed his nose, trying to be cute to keep him happy.
"I love you too Zexy." Demyx hugged me tightly. "And by the way," Demyx cleared his throat as I looked up into his eyes. "I do think that it was really sexy, to see how passionate you were to defend me. Even though I don't support the method, I do feel super special to have a boyfriend who is willing to ensure that I'm his alone." Demyx kissed my temple as I giggled.
"Will always defend my Demy. You my Demy." I said protectively.
"And you are my Zexion, and I love you very much." Demyx rested his cheek on my head as I closed my eyes, relaxing into a romantic calm when Axel and Roxas joined us.
"Ok, so, you two want couch?" Axel asked as popped the movie in the DVD player.
"Sure." Demyx said as he left to make popcorn. I laid down on the couch and when my boyfriend returned, he sat on my tummy with a bowel of his favorite movie snack.
"Oof!" I grunted, immediately getting cozy as I rested my hands on his lap, loving the way that he rubbed my tummy.
"Snuggle buddy time." Demyx kissed my head as Axel and Roxas cuddled on the floor against the couch, just as the movie started. Right after he finished his popcorn, Demyx laid behind me on the couch, spooning me comfortably as I fought against my strong desire to sleep.
I stayed awake longer than I expected to, but only because Demyx's phone kept buzzing every two minutes from incoming texts.
"Demyyy!" I whined impatiently after the tenth text.
"Sorry!" Demyx silenced his phone, but the vibration warnings weren't much better.
"Potty break," Demyx whispered as he sat up slowly, scurrying off to the bathroom, towards the end of the movie.
My curiosity got the better of me as I extended my nervous hand towards his phone, grabbed it, and opened it.
My eyes went wide when I saw that he had been texting Xigbar all along. I did my best to read as many texts as I could before Demyx came back, and most were about swim meets and training details. There was one, however, that stuck out to me. Demyx actually sent a text apologizing on my behalf for the black eye. I snarled, wondering why he would do such a thing? Xigbar apologized to Demyx for upsetting him, but never apologized for trying to hurt me. Demyx told him never to touch me again, and Xigbar told Demyx that if I wasn't such a crazy freak, then I wouldn't have tried to attack him. Really? I attacked him? I was getting sicker with each text I read. Demyx did tell Xigbar to stop with the names, and that he loved me, but Xigbar didn't give up as he continued to send text after text after text, telling Demyx what a waste of life I am, how horrible I must be to make him cry all the time, and how I'll only end up hurting him. What hurt most wasn't reading Xigbar's texts; it was realizing that Demyx never once turned off his phone to ignore Xigbar. Demyx did try to defend me, but then he tried to change the topic, which Xigbar noticed and interrupted. As I held Demyx's phone, Xigbar sent another text, telling Demyx that I was just trying to use him for sex because I'm a horny emo whore.
I started to sniffle, thankful that Axel and Roxas were both lightly snoring as I texted "Fuck off!" back to Xigbar. I wiped my eyes, set Demyx's phone back where my boyfriend left it, and rolled over, giving my back to the TV. I curled up into the back of the couch, against the cushions, wanting so badly to fall asleep. I knew that when Demyx would check his phone next, he would notice that I invaded his privacy, and he'd probably even yell at me, but if I could fake sleep long enough, I knew I could delay our inevitable fight for the night.
That idea didn't work, cause once Demyx laid back down on the couch, he opened his phone, and sat up.
"Zex, get up." Demyx tugged on my arm, but I continued with my plan to feign sleep. "Zexion I know you're awake." Demyx pushed me roughly.
"Mm!" I grumbled irritably.
"You looked at my phone, without asking?" Demyx was angry, but so was I.
"Is nearly midnight, wanted to see who you text at night." I defended myself.
"This is a huge invasion of privacy! It's like that circle talk with Axel meant nothing to you! You don't trust me, do you?" Demyx stood up, waking up Axel.
"What's wrong?" Axel asked sleepily.
"I've never cheated on you, I don't hide secrets from you, I've never given you reason to doubt my word, yet you do! All the while I'm doing my best to take your words seriously, when they're shaky at best, and you treat me like I'm inferior!" Demyx was getting really heated as I slowly sat up. Was Xigbar right? Was I not treating Demyx the way he deserved?
"What's going on?" Roxas asked, cranky.
"They're at it again." Axel sighed as he rolled over. I knew that Axel didn't mean for it to sound as harsh as it did, but he was right anyway. I couldn't stop as tears pushed through my eyes.
"It's the same damn thing, every time Zexion! You assume the worst in me, I confront you because I'm frustrated, you bawl your eyes out, and I end up looking like a dick." Demyx shook his head as I cried harder.
"I'm sorry," I hid my face in my hands.
"I hate having these talks with you." He looked so sad.
"Then end it already!" I screamed back. I don't know what came over me to possess me to yell so feverishly, but all the frustration that had added up was taking its toll. All along I thought I was the victim, but when Demyx starts talking, I can't help but feel guilty. And I'm sick of it. I'd rather him just dump my ass then have to live with all this up and down of emotions and disrespect and questioning if I'm anywhere near good enough. I can't do it anymore. I tried to show him I cared by fighting for him, but it didn't mean shit to him. Maybe it's me? Maybe I don't mean shit to him?
"What?" Demyx asked in a whisper, and even Roxas sat up on his knees as Axel rolled on his side.
"If I hurt you so much, get rid of me! Everyone else has!" I continued to shout.
"Zex," Demyx remained calm, probably in shock of the route I was taking. I think he expected me to argue back, defending myself, but I was so past all of that. I knew that there was no justification.
"Xiggy's right, you deserve better." I swallowed with a hurt smile, standing to my feet, about to run towards the bathroom when Demyx caught my wrist.
"Zexion!" Demyx pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I, I didn't mean to yell." Demyx rubbed my back.
"Demy, if you love me, need to make Xiggy stop. Can't handle these feelings anymore." I sniffled. The jealousy and hate were building up so badly, it was killing me.
"Ok, ok, I will." Demyx swayed his torso from side to side, clutching me tightly.
"I hate him." I whispered.
"I promise you Zex, I'd never want anyone but you." Demyx said as I stood there, immobile, trying to sort through all of the pain and confusion that was beginning to numb my mind. I could have fallen asleep right then and there due to all of my exhaustion, were it not for Demyx's sniffles.
"Just want you too Demy. Want to feel good enough. Don't want you mad at me." I started to get all emotional again.
"I'm not mad at you Zex. Just at me, for yelling at you. Look, if you, if you want to talk to me about Xigbar, just ask. Sneaking a peek at my phone made me upset, cause I want to know that you trust me." Demyx explained, so I nodded.
"Sorry. Couldn't help it. Wanted to defend my Demy." I said.
"I will always be your Demy, and thank you for trying to defend me." Demyx smiled, as if he finally understood where I was coming from.
"Demy, tired," I started to weep softly. I felt like an infant who skipped naptime, cranky and emotional.
"Ok, shh, it's ok baby, let's go cuddle in bed." Demyx took my hand and led me to his room, giving Axel and Roxas privacy which we were sure they were more than happy to have.
"I love you. I'd never imagine myself with anyone else." Demyx held me as we sat up on his bed.
"Love you too Demy." I rested my head on his shoulder.
"My poor baby," Demyx cooed in my ear as I swallowed down my grumpiness.
"I'm ok," I whispered in my sleepiness. "Don't know why I snapped. I just hate Xiggy. I hate him Demy." I wanted to blame that no good dirty rotten creep for everything.
"I know, and I understand why. I'm so sorry Zexy. It's all my fault for yelling." Demyx cradled my head against his chest, cozy and warm.
"No, Zexy's fault for giving Demy reason to yell." I closed my eyes.
"Shh, no, don't say such things. You were just being a loving and concerned boyfriend. Now that I think about it, I think it's cute that you stood up for our relationship like that. It shows just how much you care." Demyx squeezed me and I gave a small smile.
"Care a lot Demy."
"I promise you Zex, I'll never give up on you. I love you. You're my boyfriend and the idea of letting you get away scares me." Demyx rubbed his cheek against mine.
"Want to be Demy's." I put my palm on his chest.
"You are, and always will be." Demyx kissed my temple gently.
"Thanks," I said before I yawned.
"Come on, let's get some sleep." Demyx kept me in his arms as he spooned me from behind. He rubbed my tummy, causing me to fall immediately into a deep sleep as I dreamt safely in his arms, although it didn't last as long as I would have liked.
"Demy?" I woke up in the middle of the night, hating how he shifted and let go of me in his sleep.
"Demy!" I whined loudly, feeling needy and grumpy because of it.
"Hm?"
"Demy hold me," I tugged his arm. "Demy please?" I whined louder, tired and cranky.
"What?" Demyx yawned, siting up on his elbows.
"Want to be held by my Demy," I rubbed my eyes.
"Oh, yeah, sorry. I never realize how much I move in my sleep until we sleep together." Demyx giggled.
"Demy!" I whined even louder.
"What? What is it?" Demyx was almost laughing.
"Feeling needy," I grumbled, sitting up.
"Aww, you're so cute when you're grumpy." Demyx put an arm around my waist as he sat closer to me.
"Mmm!" I groaned through closed lips. My hair covered my eyes and half of my face as I started to get a headache.
"Hehe!" Demyx kissed my cheek, then my nose, then my forehead, then my cheek again, a bunch of small kisses ambushing my face.
"Cranky," I mumbled.
"Aww I sorry!" Demyx smooched my cheek extra long.
"Demy," I said, jut to say it as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"What is it baby?" Demyx rubbed my back.
"I don't know," I grumbled, still out of it.
"You're so cute." He rubbed his cheek on my head.
"Mmm!" I whined and complained over nothing as I gripped his shirt in my fingertips.
"What is it?" Demyx asked but I only shook my head.
"I don't know," I pouted.
"You're so needy right now," Demyx shook his head with a faint smile.
"I sorry," I pouted with a sniffle.
"Don't be. I like it, cause I feel loved and special when you're clingy." Demyx blushed before he made out with my ear. I gasped and moaned, trying to talk, but the sounds I made were gibberish as he swirled his tongue in my ear.
"Good cause I feeling very clingy." I squeezed Demyx's back in my arms, able to produce words in shallow breaths. Demyx ended with a smooch as I gulped loudly.
"Well I have to use the bathroom real quick, but I promise once I get back you can be as clingy as your adorable heart desires, ok?" Demyx pried my hands off of his chest as I whimpered.
"Hurry," I whined and he nodded as he jumped off of his bed.
When he came back, I forced his arms around me and fell back asleep while he hummed a soft tune.
"I love you," I heard a voice say as I slowly started to wake up.
"M?" I couldn't even open my eyes yet.
"I love you Zexion," Demyx repeated and just as I opened my eyes, I felt his tongue against my closed lips.
Right away I forced my eyes open wide, watching as my boyfriend licked my lips, even after I slowly parted them.
"Mmmm," He moaned deliciously as he dipped his tongue in my mouth, feeding my pleasure.
"Hah," I gasped in my weakness as he stole my breath and my thoughts. His wet muscle swirled around inside of my open mouth, all while I laid there, wanting to feel his tongue explore as much as it could.
Demyx grinned as he pulled his tongue out, swallowed hard, and then let the tip of his tongue flicker against mine. I whined, hating yet loving the tease all at the same time. He moved his muscle up and down, slapping mine before he slowly rounded his lips, encouraging me to do the same for a gentle kiss.
"I love you Zexion." He said once more as I looped an arm around the back of his neck.
"I love you too Demy," I gulped, trying to catch my sleepy head up with the action I was receiving.
We made out, our hands anxiously rushing to each other's back's as we clawed for intimacy. Demyx sucked on my neck as his leg rubbed between my own, causing me to whimper as I rocked my hips into his.
"Mmm, I told you I had to make it up to you; all the times I hurt you." Demyx frowned as he nudged his nose against my neck.
"This helps," I bit my lip, rubbing his back, trying to feed his pleasure so he could feed mine in return.
"Then this might fix everything." Demyx smirked before he pushed me on me back and hovered over me.
My boyfriend pressed his body firmly on mine, continued to make out with me, and tugged forcefully on my hair, arousing me completely as I tried to force my hips up into his. With closed eyes, I pictured him in his speedo, working my hands under his shirt to make the vision more realistic as I squeezed his back in my fingertips. We continued a heated make out session, our tongues and lips working in overdrive as we started to dry hump against each other. Demyx rocked his hips into mine, I bucked mine up in response, and his hands were still pulling my hair in a way that made me want to beg him to take me. I wanted him to touch me everywhere, to feel me, to explore me as I explored him. My fantasies of his speedo, dripping wet, were catching up to me, and before I knew it, my eyes went wide as I realized the evidence left behind. As our kiss came to a calm end, I gulped.
"You want to snuggle?" Demyx asked with his forehead pressed to mine, and naturally I nodded. "Ok, well let's get rid of this," Demyx tossed the pillow aside, and I gasped loudly.
"Huh?" Demyx's eyes went straight to my bulging erection, begging for freedom as it stretched the cloth. He sat up as he continued to stare at my throbbing desire.
"I sorry Demy! Couldn't stop thinking about Demy in speedo, not a whore!" I put my hands over my crotch, ashamed of what he would think of me.
"You, you got that just by thinking about me in a speedo?" Demyx asked with a gulp. I nodded shyly.
"Thought about Demy disrespectfully. Shouldn't have pictured Demy nakey. I sorry." I hung my head.
"First of all, I'm your boyfriend, so it's not disrespectful. Second of all, as long as I'm the only one you're picturing naked, you don't have to apologize. Thirdly, I've pictured you naked plenty of times, so again, no need to apologize, and lastly, you're adorable when you say 'nakey'." Demyx giggled as I looked up at him.
"You picture Zexy nakey?" I don't know why but I found it surprising. I mean, if I were as hot as Demyx, hell, I'd just picture myself naked.
"Mhm." Demyx turned bright red. "Not going to lie Zex, the last time I touched myself, I pretended it was you."
"Really? Me too," I bit my lip with a smile.
"You're so cute," Demyx kissed me, and as his tongue entered my mouth, I whined.
"Demy," I whimpered, afraid of what I was about to say, knowing it had to be said.
"Yes baby?" Demyx asked with a smile.
"Please, please stop," I gulped, shocked at myself for saying such things.
"What?" Demyx was just as surprised as I was.
"Already hard, but need to respect Demy. It's not easy," I whispered, wishing we could be intimate, but since I knew that Demyx wasn't ready, all he was doing now was teasing me.
"You, you don't want to kiss me, because you're hard?" Demyx didn't seem to understand.
"Demy wants to wait, but kissing when Zexy's hard makes it harder." I wriggled awkwardly, wishing I could magically make my erection disappear.
"It's really sweet of you to respect me, even if you don't want to wait." Demyx smiled at me, so I shrugged.
"Demy deserves best," I bit my lip.
"You are the best," Demyx gave me a confident, beautiful smile before he took off his shirt. I couldn't help but frown. Did he not hear the last statement I made, about him making it harder than it needs to be?
"Demy please, not helping," I was on the verge of breaking down and leaving the room.
"But I want to help you fix it," Demyx gave me a teasing smile as I looked at him, confused.
"Fix it?" I asked.
"This," Demyx cupped his hand over my erection as my eyes widened to a whole new level.
"Oh god,"
Author's Note: Ok, talk about a long chapter! So many ups and downs! I apologize that the dance scene was short and not very descriptive, but I have to write the dance scene for Can You Keep My Secret, so I was already sick of dance scenes when I started this one . Demyx and Zexion had another Xigbar related fight (BTW, yay for Zexy, nailing Xigbar like that! XD), but it seems that they are finally realizing that it shouldn't be a part of their relationship. Yay for progress! And then of course there is the snuggly wuggly cutsie fluff!
And as you've already guessed, there will be a lemon in the next chapter!
To LittleTrancyGirl: Haha, you should come to japan! Lol. Awww, you are far too kind! Thank you for such lovely complements. I'm glad to hear that you enjoy reading this story!
To luckycat222: Yes, here is the dance scene! I hope you liked it! Thank you so much for reviewing and being a great fan! ^_^
To T3CHN0 C4T: hahaha, I'm glad to hear that you liked the akuroku lemon, despite not being an akuroku fan. Haha, yes, be excited for Zexion ;)
To xSonya: I feel like the dance scene was a bit of a let down since everyone seemed so excited for it, but I hope that you enjoyed it, and trust me, you'll enjoy the next chapter too!
To Red-Travels-The-Futhest: Awww, I'm so happy to hear that this fanfiction is a fav! Lol-ing at 'miss Sarabellum' haha. I have an answer: Yes, it is as it felt: Roxas requested it rough. More will be explained in future chapters….not too far in the future. Seriously, your reviews really are perfection, and whenever I get the email that I have a new review for this story, I scan to see if its you haha. I really hope that your days are going great, as you deserve. You understand my stories as if you can understand my mind as I'm writing them, and that's saying a heck of a lot because I cant even do that . lol. Thank you for reviewing, and I found it sweet that you smiled when reading my last review to you haha. I'm honored to have a fan like you. Love, Sarabellum
To kindofabadger: hahaha, good bet, it would be weird for him to eat on that table after what he witnessed. Yeah I wanted to give Demyx the understanding that Zexion needs, and I'm glad that you and others enjoyed it! I seriously don't know how I do it either, cause I started yet another (yep, this makes 4) soriku. I wish I had the time to write all of these But I hope that you'll read them all! As expected, they will all be rated M and will have some good lemony flavor ;)
To Jenny-Xenj-Harris: Yay, I'm glad that you like the dynamics of this story! ^_^
To Zelta-Frost: haha, yeah, I thought it'd be cute to make Roxas whine like that. LOL, I don't know how I came up with 'nakey', but it just sounded like something Zexion would say and its beyond adorable in my mind lol. Yes, the two are making beautiful progress, and now they are getting rewarded for it physically. Haha, now Xigbar has been punched! I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed that, as did Zexion lol.
Thank you everyone for the reviews and favs!
Announcement: I have been getting a TON of requests for stories lately, and I really am SO honored and happy to be a thought in your mind when thinking of an author. Due to recent struggles, but financial and time-related, I'm going to request a small fee for any story. It'll be cheap, so no need to worry! Short stories (like one-shots) will be about $5, for your very own pairing and plot. Longer/more developed story will rang based on plot ideas, but I will provide estimates before any 'deal' is made. I hope this doesn't discourage anyone from requesting a story. I've actually been told by several people that they would pay, so please don't be scared to ask for an estimate! (I accept )
They make for good gifts too! (If its your bff's birthday and you want to give them their own story with their FAVORITE pairing, i can dedicate it to that person, (and you) as well! Also a good "pick-me-up" if you know someone going through a rough time and needs an encouraging reminder =)
Love, Sarabellum
