Chapter 5: If You Give a Musician a Second Glance
A Tokyo Kitty Production
Disclaimer: I don't own already! Although I'd give money to own Demyx...grins
A/N: Hello again all! I think this might be the final chapter which is both good news and bad news. I have lots of other things to write so it will be good to be done with this thing that literally exploded out of nowhere (even the original idea was a fluke). I hope you've enjoyed and that this chapter will fix the rest of the problems that have been concerning me as well as (hopefully) all of you. I also aspire to bring back some of the original comedy that was commonplace in the first chapter of this monstrosity. So, with that, enjoy!

It had been nearly a week since Axel and Roxas had consummated their love and now things were quieting down a bit. There had been (real legitimate) missions as well as a whole lot less yelling and emotions running on high as of late. Demyx had to say it was nice. Of course, quiet meant Axel was being good which was unusual for the redhead.
The brunette figured Roxas had Axel whipped.
The image of Axel obeying the every beck and call of the blonde was an image that made Demyx crack up. Wanting to see the obedient redhead with his own eyes was what had lead him to knocking on the redhead's door late one morning.
"Who is it?" Demyx could hear Axel's voice calling from behind the door.
"C'mon, man it's Demyx." Demyx called through the door. He heard footsteps and then the door was opened. Axel looked like he had just woken up. His hair was a mess and he was clad only in his usual black pants. Axel had gotten back late from a mission the night before and from the looks of the blonde still curled up on his bed Roxas hadn't let him sleep very much.
"Whowasit?" Roxas murmured not lifting his head from the pillow.
"Oh, it's just Nobody." Axel chuckled when Demyx made a horrified face. Then Demyx picked up on the joke and laughed too.
"Demyx?" The blonde sat up clearing away the sleep from his eyes with the back of his hand. He knew that laugh anywhere.
"Look who's joined the living." Demyx joked. "You two sure sleep in late don't you?" He had meant it to be rhetorical but Roxas' blush and shaky nod spoke volumes of why he'd slept in so late.
"What was it you needed Demyx?" Axel asked the brunette who was still standing by the doorway.
"Nothing in particular. 'Just wondering if you'd ever wake up. It's been really boring around here lately." Demyx smiled sheepishly. He really didn't have a good reason. It wasn't like he could just tell Axel the reason he'd popped up was because he wanted to see the redhead.
"Oh, well in that case could you give us a minute to get dressed? I don't know about you Rox, but I'm hungry." Axel smiled at the blonde.
"You mean you're actually hungry for something other than me now?" Roxas smirked coyly. It seemed Roxas had been picking up some of Axel's comebacks.
A blush actually crept onto Axel's face and he stumbled out some response to a blonde who was now laughing at him. Demyx laughed lightly but felt that this was perhaps not the place he belonged. "I'll go wait for you two in the cafeteria, kay?" He asked. Demyx didn't wait for an answer to his question before gliding out the door and closing it behind him.
'That was a stupid idea in the first place...I thought I would've been over him by now.' The brunette mentally kicked himself walking down the hall in the opposite direction of the cafeteria. Roxas was his friend too and in all truth, Demyx didn't want to break up the thing that Axel and Roxas had. But, at the same time he wished there was some way he could still have Axel again like it was before the blonde had come.
'Great now I'm wishing he never existed...But that's not really what I want is it?' Demyx thought for a minute swinging into his room to pick up his sitar before leaving again. 'Grrr...that isn't what I want at all. Damn it what's with all the dilemmas recently?' He cradled the instrument in his arms as he walked before he decided it was too heavy to carry and dispatched it to the Realm of Darkness. He didn't like putting it there because it caused the strings to loosen and then he would have to tighten them, again. But, at the moment he had too much on his mind to carry it properly so in the Realm of Darkness it would sit for a moment.
He continued walking down the hall in a gloomy mood until he reached the training hall. It was empty which was rare for early afternoon as normally Saïx would be in there practicing (like he needed it). For once Demyx had found himself wishing that the mostly insane Lunar Diviner had been there because then at least he could have used fighting to take his mind off of things.
'Geez, there must be something wrong with me if I actually WANT to fight Saïx...' He summoned the sitar back to his hands shaking his head at the strings which were, as expected, all loose despite only being there for a few minutes. Demyx sighed and walked to the back of the training hall and sat down with the sitar on his lap to tune it.
'Seriously, what am I gonna do about this...Maybe I really shouldn't have told Marluxia to scram...' He winced slightly both from the off tune note the sitar made and the thought of Marluxia. 'Okay, on second thought, no that was the right decision. The sex wasn't even that great...Except for that night Axel showed up.' Demyx smirked remembering fondly that memory.
'No! no no no...that isn't helping.' He threw the images into the back of his brain again to try and clear his train of thought. 'Is there really nothing I can do then?' Having finished tuning his sitar he played one set of chords and out of the base of the sitar came one lonely water spirit.
"What do you think?" He asked the water spirit as he continued to play. The water spirit danced around him to the beat of the music seeming to not hear what he said. "Well?" He asked again. The spirit stopped in front of him giving him what he perceived as a questioning look. Getting frustrated with the little spirit Demyx's fingers stopped moving and the spirit disintegrated into a puddle of water. It sat that way for a moment before returning to the sitar.
"I guess there really is no answer." He stood brushing some of the dust off of his coat. "Maybe I'll go bug Larxene for making Axel's life difficult." It was just another one of those days where he felt like having a death wish might be kind of fun and worth the exercise of running away from one of the most sadistic members of Organization XIII.
He was about to dispatch the sitar again when he heard footsteps moving toward the training hall. He could not discern whose footfalls they were but there was a pretty good chance that whoever it was it'd be fun to play a prank on them (unless of course it was Xemnas and if it was he'd be toast.). But like he said, he kind of had a death wish today.
Demyx quickly played the cords over and over until he had before him a small squad of water spirits. Changing the melody just slightly the spirits danced away from him and across the training hall to attack whoever was there. He'd stop them just in time to dump water all over the poor unfortunate soul.

Axel had been walking down the hall. After heading to breakfast to find that Demyx was not there he had left the blonde to go in search for him. The musician was not in his room, or any of the usual place he would go so Axel figured he must be in the most unlikely place possible.
The training hall.
This is what had lead him to walk down the hallway at a fairly fast pace in search of the brunette. He turned down the corridor that lead to the training hall when he heard music. 'That's definitely Demyx alright. He must be having a bad day if he's chillin' in the training hall.' Axel chuckled. Just as he was about to enter the main hall a swarm of Demyx's water spirits appeared. Without thinking Axel summoned both Chakrams and simultaneously threw them at the spirits. There was a hiss as the fire based weapons sliced through Demyx's water based spirits and they fell into puddles.
0000
Demyx had stopped playing the moment he saw two flaming Chakrams fly through the door, almost hit him in the head, and then return to Axel's hands. He was now standing on the other end of the hall having disposed of the water spirits.
"Bad mood? Or are you just angry to see me?" Axel teased tapping the weapons on his shoulders before dispatching them. "I wasn't expecting to get attacked when I came to find ya. 'Wasn't wearing my gloves." He held up his hand to prove the point. " 'Could've burned myself on those suckers." Axel laughed wiping his hands against his jacket before walking over to Demyx.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you...I thought it'd be like Saïx or Xigbar or something..." Demyx apologized with a half smile.
"You're lucky it was only me then. You got a death wish or something? You know how Saïx is with his hair. If you'd got it wet he would've chopped you up and thrown ya to the heartless." Axel thought this was hilariously funny and started laughing, resting his hand on Demyx's shoulder to support himself from falling over.
"Yeah somethin' like that..." Demyx responded. He wasn't laughing like Axel was. Axel stopped and looked at his long time friend.
"C'mon Demyx what's wrong? You've been like this for a week...I'm worried about ya, Roxie is too." Axel said using one of his pet names for Roxas without even thinking.
"Is he really? I'm not so sure if he would if he knew the truth." Demyx sat down on the ground gently setting the sitar next to him. Axel followed and sat on the floor too.
"What do you mean 'the truth'?" Axel's voice dropped lower even though they were the only ones in the vast hall.
"How have you and Roxas been?" Demyx quickly changed the topic. "Has Xemnas stopped making house calls yet?"
"Demyx you're avoiding my question. I'm not known for my intuition but your face doesn't hide a thing. There's something up and you won't tell me 'cause it has to do with me and Roxas doesn't it?"
Axel had hit the nail on the head but Demyx wasn't about to stop fighting this. "Roxas? Nah it's got nothing to do with him..."
"So it's just me then?" Demyx's face paled. How could Axel see through him that well? "Aw don't make that face you aren't dumb but your face spells out what you're thinking as clear as water."
'Does it really?' Demyx thought screwing up his face to fix the best poker face he had on it. He ended up in a half lazy grin with his eyes squinting. Axel burst out laughing. By the time Axel had stopped laughing Demyx had dropped the expression.
Having recovered Axel looked at Demyx again and tried to read what he meant. 'Okay, so it has something to do with me...something about me and Roxas. But what?' He thought. Then it hit him. He remembered what Demyx had said about why he had been with Marluxia.
'He still hasn't given up...But he said he was over it, right? We didn't have something that was that deep did we?' Axel racked his brain for some time; Demyx had promised something to him or vice-versa but came up with nothing. Giving up he looked back up at Demyx's face. Clear pools of aquamarine stared back at him. Axel could feel pain echoing out of those pools that lead down to the heart that none of them were supposed to have. Demyx had one. That was what Axel could remember. He had felt it then and he could feel it now. Xemnas be damned if none of them had hearts. Axel knew that at least Demyx still had his.
If the musician could feel like that...It was worth taking the risk to preserve that precious heart and the person who kept it going.
"Demyx...this isn't to sound cocky or something but...do you love me?" Axel whispered to the brunette. Aqua eyes filled with crystalline tears and Demyx nearly fell on top of Axel clinging to his shoulders.
"Oh GODS yes, Axel! I'm so sorry..." He whimpered into his shoulder. Although Demyx's voice was muffled by the redhead's should Axel could hear him crystal clear.
"It's okay. Don't apologize for love, Demyx. It's nothing to be sorry for..." Axel comforted him, his hand stroking fondly at the long brown locks at the back of his neck.
"No, it's not okay! I've hurt you...and probably Roxas too."
"No, no you haven't. Actually there's something I think you should know." When Axel said this the brunette looked up drying his eyes with the back of a gloved hand.
'Please be accepting Roxas...I've gotta do this. For all of our sakes.' Axel thought closing his eyes and sighing before continuing. "Roxas and I were talking last night. I'd had a feeling that you hadn't given up on things between us. Even after you made Marluxia leave. So, I was talking with Roxas and I asked him if it'd be okay if you joined us. If that's okay with you, of course."
"You really mean it? He agreed to this?" Demyx smiled slightly although incredulous that Roxas would agree to something like that he wanted to believe it so bad.
"Yeah, I mean if you're okay with it there's nothing stopping you." Axel lied smiling at the brunette.
Demyx smiled brightly back. "Gosh, I'd love to!" Demyx said enthusiastically and then toned down his voice after he realized being that excited in this situation was probably not okay. "Axel, I...I don't know what to say..."
"Say thank you, twit." He said lovingly flicking Demyx on the nose. The brunette laughed and they both stood up.
Demyx hugged Axel tightly, "Thank you," he whispered in the slightly taller man's ear. Axel smiled and hugged Demyx back before the brunette let go to pick up his sitar.
"Breakfast?" The brunette suggested. Axel nodded and they left the training hall making a stop to drop off Demyx's sitar in his room. Roxas was waiting patiently at the table when they entered. He had grabbed a bowl of fruit to peck at while waiting.
"What took so long?" Roxas said after popping a slice of pineapple into his mouth.
"He ran away." Axel teased and nudged Demyx in the side with his elbow. The brunette laughed and they both went to get something for breakfast.
After eating Axel and Roxas headed back to Axel's room. Demyx followed behind them. "You're coming with us Demyx?" Roxas asked confusedly.
"Huh? Oh, yeah..." Demyx said slowly. Did Roxas not know or something? 'Nah, he's probably just being his normal dense self...Everything will work out okay.' Demyx thought trying to regain his usual composure.
'He's been awful quiet...' Axel thought of Demyx who walked a few feet behind them. Without much more time to think things through they reached Axel's room. He opened the door and all three entered.
Roxas sat down at the small table and crossed his arms. "Alright you two, what's up? You've both been insanely quiet since you came back to the cafeteria. I'm not blind you know." He looked to Axel and then to Demyx who was looking down at the floor.
"Roxas...um..." Demyx began.
"Wait Demyx, let me explain." Axel cut him off to attempt an explanation to the blonde. "You see Rox, it something kinda like this... When Demyx and I were together...um...Well, ya' see he's still got feelings for me and...would you be okay with it if he joined us?" Axel finished giving a half pleading smile.
Roxas didn't move for a second.
"WHAT?" He said after everything finally caught up with him. "What are you talking about Axel? I thought it was just us?"
"Well I just-"
"Wait a sec, Axel I thought you said you'd talked with Roxas and he'd said it was okay." Demyx turned to face Axel with an exasperated expression.
"Well...uh, not really but-"
" 'Not really?' What kind of an answer is that?" Now Roxas was angry too. It wasn't exactly that he didn't like Demyx, it was just that Axel hadn't said a word about any of this.
"You promised me Axel! Was that a lie too?" Demyx was upset again. He'd had about enough of the emotional rollercoasters over the last week.
"It wasn't I lie, I just-"
"Just forget it Axel. Destiny isn't worth fighting after dreams have fallen through." Demyx said sadly. He walked for the door and left leaving Axel with a still very agitated blonde.
"Well? What do you have to say for yourself? Tell me the whole thing now I don't want to find out about 'little things you missed' in another week." Roxas rested his elbows on the table and supported his head in his hands.
"Roxas, I'm sorry it's just I worry about Demyx. He's been down in the dumps all week and I thought I could cheer him up." Axel sighed and sat down at the other end of the table.
"So, to make him feel better you invite him into OUR relationship just because you two used to be together?" Roxas chided. Axel's sighed again in shame. The answer 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' was probably not what Roxas wanted to hear.
"Rox, try to understand things from his perspective. He loves me in the same way that I love you but, he can't show it."
"Do you love him back?" Roxas replied sternly. He wasn't really in the mood for sharing, especially sharing Axel with anyone else.
"Um, geez Rox...you don't ask the easy questions do ya?" Axel scratched the back of his head looking for the answer. "What I want, what I miss is that smile on his face. When he told me that he loved me and I said it was okay I saw that smile again for a minute. Now I've gone and made him sad again." Axel ran his fingers through his hair before his hand fell back to his side.
'A smile?' Roxas thought looking at Axel for a minute. The redhead wasn't smiling either. He had a beaten expression on his face as if even to say the things he said had hurt. 'First that mess with Marluxia and now this...Does he ever practice monogamy? Is it really okay that he doesn't?'
"Would you still love me?" Roxas asked after what seemed like an eternity to Axel.
He hadn't been expecting that question. "With what?"
"If Demyx did join us...You wouldn't stop loving me, would you?" Roxas asked slowly.
Axel smiled. "Of course not, Rox. You mean so much to me...just like Demyx does."
'I guess I'll just have to get used to it. Axel's always going to be this way.' Roxas smiled at the thought of Axel's lack of care for moral rules. 'Promiscuity can't be all that bad of a thing if Axel's always so relaxed.'
"Is he good?" Roxas asked with a half crooked smirk on his face.
Axel smiled. "Hell yeah," he chuckled. Somewhere along the line Roxas had had a change of heart. Axel wasn't exactly sure how or why but it made things a lot easier.
Unfortunately, Demyx had run off again.
"Then let's go fetch him." Roxas said smiling. The smile that mirrored back at him on Axel's face was almost reward enough. Axel didn't have to be asked twice. He got up and walked out of the room in search of Demyx followed by Roxas.

Demyx sat in his room on his bed staring at his sitar across the room.
'Maybe if I stare at it long enough it'll just come to me.' He thought focusing on the instrument. The sitar stayed in the holder not moving an inch. Demyx sighed and focused on the ceiling. Then there was a knock on the door.
He sat up and started for the door. 'If it's a mission this day will officially be the worst day ever.'
He opened the door to find Axel's face. The redhead waved cheerily at him. "Then again it could always be you." Demyx accidentally said out loud.
"Aw come on Demyx don't look so sad. I brought Roxas." Axel stepped to the side to show that Roxas was following him. The sheer height of Axel had been hiding him.
"Why?" Demyx asked letting the pair in and the shutting the door behind them.
Roxas answered before Axel could mess anything else up. "Axel explained everything to me and it's okay. I reacted badly because he didn't tell me he had any of this planned." Roxas looked up at the redhead nudging him in what should have been his side but ended up hitting him in the hip.
"No joke this time?" Demyx said warily.
"None," Axel responded with a smile. Demyx smirked and walked over to stand straight in front of Axel. Axel smirked back and just as Demyx had leaned up to kiss him the redhead picked Demyx up off the floor and threw him on the bed a few feet away. Roxas stared for a moment at Axel's sheer display of strength before he was pulled against the redhead's tall form.
"Ladies first," Axel whispered in the redhead's ear.
Roxas looked indignant. "I am not a woman."
"Do you want me to throw you too?" Axel gave the blonde a toothy grin. Roxas shook his head and divested himself of his coat and black shirt before taking the few steps to Demyx's bed and crawling onto it.
Demyx hadn't heard what Axel had said but had to laugh at the still disgruntled look on Roxas' face. Roxas settled on the bed next to Demyx. Wanting to wiped the weird look off of Roxas' face the brunette leaned over and kissed the blonde.
At first this surprised Roxas and then he remembered the situation and kissed back. The blonde's arms wrapped around the back of Demyx's neck pulling him closer. In response Demyx shifted so he was half on top of Roxas. The brunette deepened their kiss pushing his tongue into Roxas' mouth. The blonde was shocked yet again to find a metal barbell clipped to his tongue. Roxas kissed back with more intensity now, liking the feeling of the metal object sliding around in his mouth.
Although Axel was having fun watching his two lovers make out he wanted to join in. He hastily unzipped his coat and threw it off behind him.
Demyx heard Axel unzip his coat but let out a moan when Axel's hands suddenly wrapped around his hips kneading lightly into the skin right above his hip bone. Axel smirked as he abused one of Demyx's sensitive points mercilessly. Roxas looked up at Axel over Demyx's shoulder. The redhead flashed him a knowing look and Roxas nodded. The blonde used one hand that wasn't trapped by Demyx's weight to start pulling down the zipper of the musician's coat. Axel's hands left the brunette's hips when Roxas had pulled down the zipper as far as he could.
"Sit up, Demyx." The redhead commanded. Demyx complied and Axel pulled the rest of the zipper down brushing his hand over the brunette's crotch. Feeling left out Roxas sat up as well and pushed the sides on Demyx's coat apart to lap lightly at one of his nipples. The brunette's breath hitched and he shrugged his shoulders back to aid Axel in ridding him of his coat. Once Demyx's coat joined the others on the floor he pushed the blonde back down onto the bed.
Roxas let himself be pushed backward until he was laying down again. The blonde let out a breathy moan when Demyx's mouth came into contact with the shell of his ear. Roxas was so distracted that he didn't feel Axel climbing onto the bed until the redhead's lips wrapped around one exposed nipple.
"Axel..." The blonde moaned threading one hand into fire red spikes. Axel picked up the pace running his tongue around the dark pink nipple in circles causing the blonde to moan loudly again. Demyx looked down at Axel from what he was doing. The redhead smirked back at him before running his tongue slowly over Roxas' nipple again. Demyx shifted down on the bed until he was level with Axel. At the same time they both attacked Roxas' nipples. Roxas bit down on his lip to keep from screaming. Between the harsh nips Axel was giving and Demyx's slow licks Roxas was bucking up into the caress. His slightly too big pants felt impossibly tight and uncomfortable. He voiced his discomfort in a high pitched whimper and a well placed thrust of his hips.
Demyx and Axel chuckled at the blonde's eagerness. Both of them pulled away from Roxas' chest and began to divest the blonde of his remaining clothes. Once Demyx had finished pulling off Roxas' boots Axel was able to rid him of his pants and boxers. Roxas gasped when the cool air hit him. Demyx's eyes glanced up and down the blonde's completely naked form making the blonde blush slightly. Demyx smirked and then leaned over Roxas to kiss Axel. The redhead kissed back letting Demyx dominate the kiss.
Demyx pushed Axel down onto the bed until the redhead was lying next to Roxas. Roxas was about to voice that this action had caused Demyx to be laying halfway across his own body when Demyx moved to straddle Axel's hips and offered a helping hand to pull Roxas up. Roxas took that hand and sat up onto his heels. One of Demyx's arms wrapped around Roxas' neck pulling him in for a kiss while the other started on Axel's thigh and slowly began to explore up to his hips.
Axel groaned when Demyx's hand reached his crotch. A lazy smirk crossed his lips as he watched his two lovers kiss in full view while Demyx continued to massage him through his pants. Roxas' hand joined Demyx's and together they played with him until Axel was begging for release from the confines of his pants.
Demyx smirked and reluctantly pulled his mouth away from Roxas. The blonde complained with a small whimper but ceased when he realized that Demyx was working on the zipper of Axel's pants. Roxas shifted to help the brunette by pulling off Axel's boots. Once Demyx had pushed the redhead's pants past his knees he dipped his head to lick lightly at the skin around the base of his cock. Axel's hand moved to secure a hold in the long strands of Demyx's hair. Roxas pulled the redhead's pants off entirely throwing them unceremoniously to the floor.
Roxas moved back up the side of the bed nudging Demyx to move over in the process. The brunette smirked and moved over slightly running his tongue up the side of Axel's cock at the same time. Demyx pulled away for a second and just as Axel was about to look down to see what had happened both Demyx and Roxas attacked his cock one licking up one side while the other licked down the opposite side. Axel howled both of their names, his grip on Demyx's hair tightening while his other hand gripped the back of Roxas' head. Demyx sucked the head, teasing the slit with his piercing while Roxas licked what Demyx couldn't reach and down and over Axel's balls.
"Oh gods, Roxas...Demyx..." Axel moaned thrusting up into the two mouths. Axel pushed himself up onto his elbows wanting to watch. Demyx took more of Axel's cock into his mouth while pinning the redhead's hips to the bed to keep him from thrusting and potentially choking Demyx. Roxas continued to move his tongue slowly over his balls sucking occasionally.
Axel groaned again, the hand he had on the back of Roxas' hand dropped to the bed and then balled into a fist when Demyx gave the head of his cock another rough lick. The brunette pulled away for a second and used a hand to guide Roxas away as well. Roxas gave Demyx a confused look and Demyx smirked back. He guided Roxas' head back down onto Axel's cock taking part of it into his mouth to show Roxas what he wanted him to do. Roxas picked up on the train of thought and wrapped his lips around the other side of Axel's cock sucking on it. Demyx chuckled and let go of Roxas' hair opting instead to fondle Axel's balls.
The redhead gasped watching as the two tried to kiss with his cock stuck between the them. Demyx smirked around Axel's cock once again darting his tongue out to run along Roxas lower lip. Roxas moved up the shaft and Demyx followed until they were both sucking at the head. Axel tried to thrust up but was still held back by Demyx's hands holding him to the bed. The redhead whined as Roxas and Demyx seemed to take turns teasing the slit while the other sucked hard.
"Unh...gonna cum..." The redhead murmured between gasping breaths. Demyx pushed Roxas lightly off of Axel's cock and relaxed his throat before taking Axel into his mouth as far as he could. Roxas sat up folding his arms and pouting. A blush rose to his face when he looked towards Axel's face to see the redhead's eyes closed in concentration with his mouth formed in a perfect 'O' shape. Demyx took in even more until his nose brushed against Axel's soft, red pubic hair. Smirking around his mouthful he sucked down hard and then quickly bobbed his head up before sucking hard again.
Demyx's tongue glanced against the tip pushing the piercing up against it while still sucking hard. "Ahh! Oh gods Demyx!" Axel cried out before shooting his load into the musician's waiting mouth. Demyx sat back up and leaned over, pulling Roxas into a kiss. The blonde moaned as Demyx pushed some of Axel's seed into his mouth. Roxas swallowed, licked his lips, and then licked Demyx's lips clean of what had not been swallowed.
Axel sat upright and ran a hand through his own hair, trying to catch his breath. He looked over to Demyx for a second and the brunette nodded. How the two could communicate that well wordlessly was beyond Roxas but he didn't have much time to think about it as Axel pushed him down into the place the redhead had been a minute ago. Demyx had moved off the bed to rifle through Axel's drawer for what he figured would still be in the same place it always was. He finally found the bottle of lotion and extracted the bottle from the drawer and shut it. The brunette turned back to the bed to find Axel on top of Roxas kissing and petting heatedly.
Demyx cleared his throat to gain their attention which caused Axel to look up at him while still grinding his hips into the blonde beneath him. Still holding the lotion bottle, Demyx undid his pants and pushed his hand below the hem of his boxers thrusting into his hand teasingly. He smirked and used his other hand to push his pants down to the edge of his boots. Demyx reluctantly removed his hand from inside his boxers to pull one boot off, then the other one. The pants hit the floor, then his boxers. Demyx stepped out of them sauntering back over to the bed. Axel moved out of the way so Demyx could straddle Roxas' hips.
"Scoot up a bit Roxas." Demyx said pushing on his knee lightly. The blonde complied and moved up until his mid back hit the headboard. Demyx smiled far too sweetly for what they were doing and moved up until his head fell over the blonde's hips. Roxas looked questioningly at Axel who had moved to sit on his knees behind Demyx.
Axel picked up on the blonde's confusion and explained. "Don't worry Rox, Demyx will take good care of you." The redhead smirked coating a few fingers in the lotion and pushing the tip of one finger into Demyx. The musician hissed, closing his eyes in pain for a moment before letting out a breathy sigh. Demyx lowered himself over Roxas onto his elbows and knees then slowly spread Roxas' legs apart more to accommodate him. Roxas bit down on his lower lip when the brunette languidly ran his tongue up the inside of his thigh.
Roxas moved his legs further apart enthusiastically causing the brunette to chuckle. Demyx took the head of Roxas' cock into his mouth slowly moving down on him inch by inch. Roxas groaned thrusting his hips up into Demyx's face wanting him to move faster. The brunette groaned around his mouthful as Axel began pushing his finger in and out of Demyx at a faster pace. He picked up on Axel's pace and began to suck Roxas off to the same rhythm. 'Axel wasn't kidding...he is good.' Roxas thought letting out another whimper of encouragement to Demyx.
Another finger was added and Demyx moaned again causing small lightning bolts of pleasure to rack up the blonde's form and back down to pool in his groin. Roxas buried his hands in the brunettes' spiky hair with his palms resting on the far shorter prickly part. He guided Demyx up and down begging for more with breathy pleas. Axel scissored his fingers in and out of Demyx causing the brunette to thrust backwards into those fingers. Figuring Demyx was ready enough he withdrew his fingers, causing the brunette to whimper in response, and then grabbed the lotion again to cover his own throbbing erection.
Demyx's mouth left Roxas' cock for a moment as Axel pushed into him. Axel held his hips in place as he slowly pushed into the brunette. The blonde whimpered Demyx's name trying to get his attention back. Still trying to force himself to relax, Demyx used one hand to stroke Roxas' slick cock. The blonde accepted this and his head rolled back against the headboard to stare at the ceiling. Once fully sheathed within Demyx the redhead leaned forward to place a kiss on his shoulder. The brunette turned his head and received another endearing kiss on the nose before turning back around and swallowing Roxas again.
Axel smiled and then began shallowly thrusting into Demyx. The brunette shivered, taking more of Roxas into his mouth in turn causing the blonde to moan loudly. Demyx lost patience with Axel's slow, shallow thrusts and pulled his mouth away from Roxas to turn and look over his shoulder.
"Axel, please...stop teasing..." The brunette groaned trying to form sentences.
"What was that? I think you have to be a little more specific than that." Axel grinned leaning down over the brunette to lick behind his ear. He enunciated what he had said with one rough thrust before returning to the agonizingly slow ones.
Demyx whined submissively. "Please Axel...I want more." Axel's hand wrapped around the brunette's cock and stroked him in time with his thrusts. "Nnh...not like that...Harder Axel, faster." Demyx moaned as Axel immediately picked up the pace and continued to stroke his cock in time with the now much quicker thrusts.
"Does he make you beg for it too?" Demyx asked breathily to Roxas. Roxas nodded slowly and blushed as Demyx let out a particularly loud moan when Axel began thrusting more harshly. Demyx realized he was neglecting his job of pleasuring Roxas and lowered his head, beginning a vigorous pace to make up for lost time. Roxas' hands re-laced themselves in the brunette's hair and he let out a shaky sigh.
Demyx ran his tongue up and down the underside of Roxas' shaft alternating between licking and sucking hard. Roxas groaned gripping the brunette's hair tighter. Demyx moved his head back up to the tip and moved his tongue fluidly over the head. Every once in a while his pierced tongue would hit a nerve causing the blonde to moan the brunette's name.
Axel figured the blonde was close and sped up his thrusts into Demyx causing him to push his butt backwards to meet Axel's thrusts. Demyx pushed Roxas' erection further into his mouth and sucked hard again. The blonde moaned loudly, lolling his head back until it hit the headboard. He could feel the aftershock every time Axel thrust into Demyx. That combined with the spine melting suction Demyx was providing had him teetering on the edge.
All it took was one more harsh suck from Demyx to cause the blonde to scream around a fist he'd brought to his mouth to muffle the sound. He came into the brunette's mouth still trying to catch his breath after his completion. Demyx swallowed what Roxas had given him and then licked away the remains on his lips and the blonde's now softening cock.
Watching the scene from over Demyx's shoulder the redhead pulled Demyx back against him when the brunette was done and began pushing in and out mercilessly. His hands gripped Demyx's hips hard, pulling the brunette back into him with every thrust forward. Demyx groaned, sinking down to his hands to give Axel a better angle. Roxas finally awoke from his pleasure induced stupor to hear a satisfied moan from Demyx as he came into Axel's still stroking hand. The redhead gave a few more rough thrusts before tumbling over the edge himself and cuming into Demyx's tight ass.
Axel withdrew from Demyx and tumbled to the side landing with an unceremonious thud next to the blonde. Roxas moved over a bit and helped Axel to pull Demyx up in between them. Roxas let out a satisfied sigh and snuggled closer to Demyx until his head was resting on the brunette's broad shoulder. Axel smiled kindly at Demyx and raised a hand lovingly to push sweat soaked bangs way from Demyx's eyes. The brunette smiled back and wrapped one arm lazily around Axel's waist. Careful not to disturb neither Roxas nor Demyx, the redhead grabbed one of the blankets that had been kicked to the edge of the bed and pulled it up over the three of them.
'This is how it should be, and how it will always be.' Axel thought, drifting off into sleep with a smile on his face and two lovers cuddled up beside him.

The next morning Axel and Roxas had been called away on a mission leaving Demyx to his own devices. Somehow, knowing that they'd both be back with him when they returned made the wait seem easier. They returned later that night, or at least Axel did, knocking on his door.
The brunette set his sitar down on the bed, he'd been still working on a way to store it without the Realm of Darkness ruining the strings, and headed for the door to find Axel standing behind it with a tired grin on his face. This time, Demyx was happy to see the redhead and embraced him tightly around the waist, dragging him into his room.
"How was it?" Demyx asked enthusiastically.
"Ah, it was okay...Hey, listen, I got ya something." Axel sat down in a chair at Demyx's table with a tired thud.
"You mean you stole something for me? Seriously Axel one of these days someone's gonna catch you and then you'll have hell to pay. Like when Roxas finds out?" The brunette kidded. He nudged Axel in the shoulder playfully but the redhead just shook a hand at him obviously too tired for these antics.
"C'mon, do ya want it or not?" Axel said which made Demyx instantly go quiet and then stand in a formal salute. Axel stuck his tongue out at Demyx to which the brunette relaxed. Axel stuck his hand into his pocket and searched around. "Close your eyes and stick your hands out." He said. Demyx complied cupping his hands together in front of Axel. The redhead dropped a slightly heavy metal object in his hands and Demyx opened his eyes.
The object was a brass music note, an eighth note to be precise, but the foot of the note was in the shape of a heart. Engraved into the heart were the words 'If music be the food of love, play on'. Demyx smiled at Axel and then threw his arms around Axel. "Thank you so much, it's wonderful! How did you ever find it?"
"He didn't, I did." Roxas said leaning on the door frame. "Seriously you two should close doors or anyone could waltz right in." Roxas said in his chastising monotone voice. Demyx and Axel both chuckled and the blonde moved from the door frame and closed the door behind him. Roxas walked over to stand behind Axel with his arms crossed. Demyx smiled at the younger teen and then hugged him with one arm and Axel with the other.
"Thank you, both of you. This means a lot to me, the same goes for you two. I love you both so much." Demyx hugged them tighter for once not really caring if his more girly side was showing. It was true and worth expressing to the two people he loved so much.
"Geez Demyx, you're even more of a girl than Roxas is." Axel joked when Demyx let them both go.
"For the last time I am NOT a GIRL!" Roxas said indignantly crossing his arms again with a slight 'hmph' in his voice.
"Suuuree we believe you." Demyx added sarcastically.
"You guys..."Roxas whined looking to Axel for support. The redhead only laughed at the blonde's frustration.
'Maybe we can't be together forever, and maybe we don't really have hearts.' Demyx thought laughing right along with Axel. 'But, as long as we think of each other and remember these fond memories, maybe we can stay a little closer and remember the things we've felt.'
THE END
Or is it?

A/N: Is it really the end? I don't really want it to be... This has been so much fun writing and I've enjoyed all the wonderful things you, the reader, had to say, thank you. But like it says there are a few small lines to still tie up. What ever happened to Xemnas? Why wasn't Saïx training like he normally does? And what about Demyx's problem with the Realm of Darkness? How does that thing Axel and Roxas gave him tie into this? That's right you guessed it, an Epilogue! But only if you people are nice. My editor and I have been conspiring to write a lemon for Saïx and Xemnas and I have every intention of doing so but only if people want it. So please be kind and review, this has been my only plug for reviews in 54 pages so I think I deserve it. Please? Oh, and BTW the quote: "If music be the food of love, play on." comes from Twelfth Night Act 1 Scene 1 by Master William Shakespeare. I thank you for your great words Shakespeare. With that, thank you and I'll (hopefully) see you all in the epilogue.
