Chapter 3: Our Dirty Little Secret

"You made me blow up, Axel!"

"Not my fault, Demyx. You ran into me. Got it memorized?"

"You're not nice!"

"And WHY would you say that to me…?"

That last comment had shut the red-faced blonde up. It had been about half an hour since their first kiss, and they had decided to start playing video games. Since it was only them, they both got their own controller. Midnight Club 3 (1) was in the X-Box, and both boys sat shoulder-to-shoulder on the floor, Indiana-style.

Axel had placed the game on pause, much to Demyx's surprise, and turned to face his beauty. Demyx returned the stare, his blue crystals yet again meeting Axel's ghost-like green eyes. Axel's hand rose up to brush Demyx's soft cheek, causing the younger teenager to squeak continuously. Axel let out a chuckle, and leaned on the younger boy. Demyx gasped as he was pushed lightly to the ground and Axel leaning over him. His red bangs tickled Demyx's forehead, his gaze and smile burning into him like the fire he was supposed to be.

Axel began placing light kisses down Demyx's cheekbone. Demyx whimpered, but out of pleasure, as his face burned up more. The passionate flame Axel was delivering was what Demyx had always longed for.

Axel rose his head up and stared into the blue eyes Demyx bore. They glistened brightly like they always did. He couldn't contain himself anymore; he leaned down and kissed the blonde on his soft lips yet again. But, this time, it was different.

Demyx felt something wet on his lips, trying to break through. He let out a small gasp, allowing Axel to slide his tongue into his mouth before he could close his mouth again. Demyx began moaning and whimpering, his face starting to burn a little overbroad. His eyes glazed over a tiny bit. The teen on top of him began rubbing his sides, much to the torture Demyx was enjoying right now.

The heated kiss was broken suddenly as the phone rang. They both stared at the direction of the phone, and Demyx could have sworn he heard a suppressed curse under Axel's breath.

"Y-you get it, Axel," Demyx stuttered, shaken from the sudden shock.

Axel nodded, sighed lightly, and rolled off the blonde. He stood and walked over to the phone, picking it up off the receiver. "Hello?" He proclaimed lazily into the phone, expecting it to be his father.

"Hey there, little guy." Of course. It was his father; probably calling to say that he would be late tonight. For the past week, he's been staying back late to help with anything.

"Hey there, Dad," Axel proclaimed, leaning on the wall. He had picked up the cord phone in the kitchen, so he couldn't go sit back down with Demyx. "You have to stay late again?"

"Yeah, I do. This case is rather interesting, and I want to stay back to check it out." His father finished his sentence and shouted something to some in a reply to a question they had asked. Axel flinched and pulled the phone away from his ear for a second. When his father wanted to, he would raise his voice and people usually did have to tell to quiet down.

After a second, Axel put the phone back on his ear and spoke, "Hey, Dad?"

"Yeah, little dude?"

"You… don't mind if Demyx spends the night, right? He's the only one here and I… you know, wanted him to spend the night," Axel's eyes narrowed down to the ground, his face sporting a red coloring. Demyx caught the look and squeaked.

"Duh, of course. He's your best friend, so he's allowed whenever. You talked to Sashusa?" Axel rolled his eyes. Sashusa was Demyx's mother, and she wouldn't care if Demyx spent the night. She's like all the parents in Twilight Town, not worrying about their kids but care for them greatly.

"I'll call her and make sure it's fine," Axel proclaimed as he cracked his neck, mouthing the word "ow" when he finished.

"Okay, but you also gotta make dinner or at least some food. You don't want to starve or anything, but I know how much you eat and yet you're so freakin' thin," his father chuckled as he finished. That was true; Axel ate a lot when he did eat, but he never gained anything from it. He remembered his dad told him that he got it from his mother.

"I know, Dad, I know," Axel exclaimed, "Well, I'm gonna hang up now. Bye, Dad." He hung the phone up before his father could say goodbye and looked at Demyx. "Come here, Demyx. You gotta call your mom."

Demyx, face red because he was trying to figure out what Axel wanted, nodded his head like a little kid and got onto his feet. He walked over to Axel and took the phone he was just on into his hands and dialed his number.

It rang several times before it went to the answer machine; "You've reached the Nocturne residence. If you'd like to speak to me, Sashusa, press 1. For Demyx, press 2. For Akiyo, press 3. Thank you and we shall get back to you as soon as we can."

Demyx pressed "1" after the machine stopped and spoke, "Hey, Mom, it's me. I'm at Axel's place, and I figured you wouldn't mind if I spent the night. Yuko said it would be fine, but he wanted me to call anyway. I'll be fine, don't worry. Tell Akiyo I love her, and I love you, too. Bye." With that, Demyx hung the phone and turned to Axel, "She's probably gone to get Akiyo from her book club thing."

Axel smiled. Akiyo was Demyx's little sister. She was a sweet kid, and like everyone else, Axel adored her. He was happy to see the loyalty Demyx showed for her. He wrapped one arm around Demyx waist and pulled close, nuzzling his neck. Demyx whimpered a bit, leaning into the embrace as he limply wrapped his arms around Axel's neck. The red head wrapped his other arm around the Demyx's back, his other hand going a little lower. Demyx squeaked when Axel's hand touched his bottom, lightly squeezing it. Demyx gasped and panted lightly, his whole body going limp as he burned up even more.

Axel kissed his cheek lightly. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Demyx whimpered in reply, slowly nodding his head. He squeaked again as Axel squeezed tighter and nipped his neck a bit. Demyx closed his eyes and moaned.

Axel stopped and pulled away from Demyx, taking a few steps back. Demyx nearly fell over, but caught himself. Axel laughed and received a pout from Demyx. "Okay, okay, I'll stop laughing. It's just, you look so cute when you pout," Axel said, trying to hold in a laugh as the blonde's face went red yet again. "So, what do you wanna eat?"

"What'd you got?" Demyx asked, walking into the kitchen and looking through it for food. Since they went back until before kindergarten, Demyx has always been allowed to welcome himself into Axel's home or kitchen or whatever. He never had to ask, but yet, he still did sometimes.

Axel joined him in the search for food. Looking in the cabinet, he found a box of pasta with mixed vegetables. "Yo, Demyx," he said as he held the box up for the blonde to see, "How's this?"

Demyx smiled widely, his eyes sparkling. "I love that stuff! You can cook, right?"

Axel grinned as he closed the cabinet door and placed the box on the counter. "'Course I can, Demyx. You know that." He got two a large bowl out and a wooden spoon. "You get two smaller bowls and spoons, 'kay?"

Demyx eagerly nodded and got what he was told to get, then watched the red head make the food.

After about 10 minutes, Axel handed Demyx his bowl, "Here you go."

Demyx took it and chowed down, giving Axel a cute little look. He had always given him that look, and only him. He gave other people something similar, put this particular look was only given to Axel.

Does that mean… Axel's mind thought, his face burning up slightly as he continued his thought, …that he's always felt the same towards me, as I felt toward him? Man, I hope so…

Demyx saw the confusion on his face and blinked several times. He put his bowl, now completely empty, in the sink. Axel followed suit and stayed at the sink, his back turned to Demyx.

"Axel?"

"Yeah?"

Silence followed, and it worried Axel. He turned around slowly, and saw Demyx hanging his head. He reached his hand out, touching the top of the blonde mullet. A soft whimper escaped from Demyx's throat as he backed away from Axel. Hurt flowed through Axel's heart, and his eyes definitely showed it. His extended arm fell limply to his side, and he let out a deep, depressed sigh while his head dropped to stare at the ground.

"I… just thought of something…"

Axel looked back at Demyx, seeing him shaking. Axel felt a heavy burden on his heart, tearing him slowly. Stuttering, he softly proclaimed, "Well… what did you think about?"

"What if… our parents don't accept this?" Demyx's eyes finally went up to meet with Axel's. Tears slowly welled up in his eyes, and he soon found his head on Axel's chest and wrapped in his arms. Demyx leaned into the embrace, his eyes closing and the smile returning on his face.

"Demyx… this will be our own dirty little secret."
