Yes, I finally uploaded the second chapter! I'll be uploading every week or so until the 17th, because I'll be off to India unfortunately. Maybe if I'm lucky and I find a computer there I'll work on a chapter and upload it. . I think this chapter's a bit of tease, but I promise the third chapter will be much better. Please review! I want to improve on my flaws.
Axel looked up at the night sky, uncertainty clearly hinted on his face. He glanced sideways at Demyx, trying to see if the boy was paying attention. He smirked lightly when he saw the blonde dozing off, standing. He didn't blame him, it's been two days since their little pact, and both of them haven't slept since. Axel has a horrible sense of direction when he's nervous, and they've been lost for hours. Every time Demyx would ask, "Are you sure this is the way?", Axel would snap at him and say "D'you think I'm lying!" Axel sighed, regretting his pig-headed demeanor, and stared at the flashing lights of the peculiar city. 'Dox Inn,' it read in neon lights. 'I guess…we could rest for a bit,' Axel said inwardly as he gazed at the sleeping Demyx. He snapped his fingers in front of the ninth member to wake him, which he did quite abruptly.
"Wha? Oh…sorry."
"No problem, follow me."
"To?"
"My bed," Axel's voice was harsh, and purposely lacking sultriness, but Demyx still turned a shade of pink.
"What!"
"In your dreams, number nine."
"Can we not talk about sleeping?"
Demyx always found Axel the most complicated member of The Organization. Even more complicated than Roxas. Sure, Roxas was new and different, and he did leave them, but Demyx expected that. It was bound to happen, he was Sora's nobody. But Axel, he was one of them, and yet the water specialist could never even guess what he was thinking. What makes the cogs in Axel's head turn? 'Should be a book title,' Demyx chuckled inwardly.
"Yo."
"Hmm? What is it?"
"We're going to get some rest- over there," Axel's eyes averted to the door beside them. Demyx looked happy.
Dox Inn wasn't the most luxurious place to sleep. The rooms were all 9x9 feet and each had a single queen sized bed. There was only one small window, and the light switches were short circuited. In Axel and Demyx's room, there was a small closet with a sliding door. Inside was a child-sized futon.
"I call bed," Axel said before the water wielder could open his mouth.
"But that's not fair, it was my munny too…"
"Yeh, but you're so small, you could fit in that futon."
"I am not small!"
"Look here, Demyx, I'm a whole foot taller than you. Do you expect me to sleep on the floor while you have this huge bed all to your little self?" Axel said, letting his hand hover twelve inches above Demyx's head to emphasize his excuse. Demyx sighed and pulled out the futon in defeat. He stripped down to his underclothes and unrolled the futon. Retreating under the heavy covers, he felt the cold come to his exposed feet. The sheets barely reached his ankles. Demyx sighed and muttered a curt "Good Night."
Axel, on the other hand, fluffed his pillows and smirked happily. Pulling off the heavy black coat and pants, he crawled into the warmth of the sheets. The bed definitely could of fit Demyx too, but he liked stretching his legs out.
Two Hours Later…current time 12:07 AM
Demyx opened his eyes slowly to see a calm sleeping face. He bit his lip to keep from yelling when he realized the face belonged to none other than Axel. The red head seemed to of fallen from his bed and on to Demyx's futon. To make matters worse, Axel wasn't cuddling a pillow as he probably thought. The sitarist did not want to wake Axel by squirming out of his tight grasp- he knew very well about Axel's short temper.
Though he still thought it was quite wrong for two men to be embracing each other at midnight with barely anything on. It was definitely comfortable, Axel's skin was quite soft, but wrong none the less. Demyx sighed inwardly and smiled weakly at the sleeping being in front of him. Axel seemed so unaware. But Demyx, he apparently couldn't sleep this way, and decided to just wait until Axel moved on his own. It was difficult staying awake though, so Demyx decided to occupy himself by observing Axel.
The fiery red head had features that seemed to stand out even more when his eyes were closed. Even when sleeping, his eyebrows were furrowed which definitely didn't bring out the "Sleeping Baby" look on him. Still, it did make him look more boyish. The corners of his lips were slanted just the slightest upward, Demyx smiled widely when seeing this. 'Who smiles when they sleep?' he thought, as he continued to look at his snoozing friend.
Axel's shoulders were broad, although his middle was lean as possible. His muscles were prominent, and he had small belly button. Demyx almost chuckled out loud when he saw how feminine Axel's belly button was. But as he continued down on his hip bone he stopped himself. 'Woah, Demyx, what're you doing? This guy looked to you for help, and you're peeping at him while he's a asleep! Have a heart, man…and since when did you get into guys?' an inner voice scolded the blonde boy. Demyx shook his head lightly and brushed off a fly-away hair on Axel's face. 'But you know, I kind of wonder why he picked me to help. I'm probably the weakest one there, and I doubt I'm reliable. I guess it's just because I'm a sucker, and I'd probably do whatever I'm ordered to. Yeah, that's it. I'm just an easy to get guy who…' but Demyx had fallen asleep before he could even finish.
Aw, Demyx is so emo that it's cute. -cry- Review, lovies! I need help on what to do...
