Zexion was done his task before Demyx, and so has popped toast down for him and is making a bologna, lettuce and mayo sandwich for his friend. He packed it in a brown baggy along with a purple minisip, Demyx's favourite so he always kept a supply. Demyx comes bounding down the stairs, almost tripping in the process, mohawk and all not a moment after Zexion had them all packed and ready to go.
"Good. Just on time. Let's go." Zexion was about to leave the house when Demyx pulled him back and kisses him quickly, then lacing his fingers with the younger boys.
"I love you, Zexy." Demyx half mumbles, a bit nervously, and looks over at Zexion to see how he would react. Zexion smiles and pulls him closer as they walked.
"I love you, too, Dem." He was mildly shocked at his reply, even though now knew that he always had, ever since he laid eyes on him six years ago. He then hands Demyx a piece of toast he was holding in his free hand, "Here."
"Mmm! Thanks! I was worried we wouldn't have enough time to eat! Oh! Did you eat yet? 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day'. Well, that's what mom says, but I think that supper is pretty important, too, I mean you're not going to eat for another twelve hours so-" Demyx continues to chatter on about the importance of meals, then on to the importance of having nice hair, "-and you see that's why it can help you get a job!"
Zexion couldn't help but laugh quietly at how fast his friend could change subjects, and normally without warning.
"I hope you don't mind that we're walking. It seems like a nice day, and I don't wish to further contribute to the pollution in our air." The blue haired boy is fairly environmental, he tries to do his part to help the cause as much as possible.
"Oh, yeah, sure Zex! I love walking anyways, but it'll be really cold and snowy soon. Bleh, I hate it when it gets all mushy after a storm and then it rains or something. It's so yucky! Your feet make a 'Sploosh! Sploosh!' sound and then some gets in your boots!" Demyx makes a face to further prove his point. "And then your SOCKS get wet! For the rest of the day, too!" Demyx has a look of pure disgust at the thought of such atrocities as he walks toward the ever nearer school.
"It is quite an inconvenience, isn't it? It also slows traffic."
"Yeah totally! My bus gets stuck in the morning traffic thing and then I'm late for class and the teacher yells at me, even though, it's like, not my fault."
"I would offer to drive you to school, but we live on opposites sides of town." This was true; Zexion lives on the upper class side and Demyx in the lower class. Demy isn't exactly poor, he has nice things and doesn't go hungry, but sometimes he and his family would struggle to make the months rent.
"Eh, it's fine. I like going on the bus, even though the wait kinda sucks…" Demyx paused in thought, then added, "I think it adds to the whole school experience."
"Really? I can see how you would say that, but I think I wouldn't enjoy it very much." Zexion smiles at Demyx and gives his hand a light squeeze before letting it drop to his side. Demyx looks at him quizzically before realizing that the Twilight Town High School was just around the block, and that much of the student body was making their way toward it. When the two used to hold hands regularly when they were younger, they would only do so when no one was around, or when it was just them and the 'gang'. They sensed even at that early age that it wasn't appropriate to be holding another boys hand, and that it would only be truly accepted if one of them were female.
A flash of red hair and green eyes made their way into their view, or rather filling their entire veiw.
"So what's up? Banging each other yet?" Axel flashes them a cocky grin and proceeds to walk in front of them backwards, faltering not in a single step.
"W-what? What makes you think that?!" Zexion looks flustered and adverts his eyes, meanwhile Axel gasps with shock.
"So you did do something! I knew you two would eventually, in fact, Riku owes me twenty bucks. He figured it would have been around Christmas before you two finally got together. So. How far did ya get? Second? Third? OHMIGOD did you two go," Axel lowers his voice and mockingly checks for any bystanders, then, once satisfied, whispers, "all the way?!"
Demyx looks at him, shocked, "How did you know we did something? Are you psychic??"
Axel merely scoffs at this, "'Course not. I could tell be Zexy's reaction. He lost his cool and actually showed a human emotion."
Zexion sulks and broods, deep in thought.
How could I have been so careless with my emotions? I should have been able to tell that he was bluffing and didn't really know for sure whether or not we had done anything. No doubt he'll tell everyone at school. It's not as if I don't want people to know, I'm not ashamed or anything of the sort. I simply don't know how everyone will react, especially the adults. I wouldn't want Demyx to be unhappy if things turned out for the worse.
A short blonde was tiptoeing up behind the redhead, when Axel finally back-walks into him. Roxas squeaks in delight and wraps his arms around the older boys waist happily. Axel looks startled at the sudden impact and looks around suspiciously, then sees the familiar checkered wristband and rings then smiles with a content look on his face.
Roxas pulls Axel close, Demyx and Zexion just stare at them, not really sure what to do, and also wondering how they could be so affectionate in public.
Axel wraps his arms around the other boy as well, with some difficulty considering where he was.
"Hehe. Got you." Axel says with a smug tone in his voice. Roxas pulls away, pouting slightly, and Axel turns to face him.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Well who else would hug me in the middle of a school parking lot? Besides, I could also tell by your jewelry and smell. Did you just have a shower? You smell yummy."
Roxas blushes at the compliment and starts walking toward the main entrance, Demyx and Zexion grateful for this considering they had to halt their morning make out session just so they wouldn't be late.
"Um, yeah I did." Roxas mumbles. Axel puts his arm on his shoulder and talks as thought the other two weren't right behind them.
"Guess what? Demyx and Zex DID IT last night. And they're your age. So, remind me again why we can't do it?"
Roxas stops dead in his tracks, causing Zexion to walk into him. He turns around and stares accusingly at Zexion.
"Hey. Didn't we agree that neither of us would have sex until we were at least sixteen?"
Zexion and Roxas, both being scholars and the youngest of their group, decided after a sex.ed class when they were thirteen that they wouldn't have sex until they were at a decent age, which they agreed would be sixteen. Axel and Demyx can't help but look at them with a weird look, as neither could think of any good reason not to do that with someone, as long as you loved them.
"Oh well. Anyways, even if we did do something, I'll be sixteen in a few days."
Axel looks at him mischievously, "But you didn't deny it. Exactly how far did you guys go?"
Roxas fake coughs, deciding to spare his friends of Axels questioning, "And Axel, we can't have sex because I'm only fifteen, so it would be against the law, and my parents don't approve of gay relationships"
"One, I did some researching on the internet and it's legal if you consent to it, and two, I bet I could win over your parents and we could tell them TOGETHER!!"
Axel hugs Roxas tightly and rests his hair on his head, seemingly very excited of the prospect.
Roxas hugs Axel back and mutters into his chest, just audible to Axel, "You actually did some research? Impressive. I…guess we could try. The parent thing I mean. No sex until we have their approval. I'll start taking you over a lot more. We won't tell them right away, right?"
Axel smiled into the younger boys hair, "Anything you want, my love."
It wasn't as though Axel was only in the relationship for the sex, it's just that he felt that it was time to move to the next level of intimacy, it was another way to show the boy how much he loved him. Also, he thought that the boy looked downright fuckable, and he could tell he wanted to, too, especially when they were at Axel's place and things were starting to get heated up. Axel was the one who had to stop Roxas from going any further, he knew the boy would have regretted it later, or that he would have felt guilty about not telling his parents about his relationship with him.
Zexion sighs with irritation ,"Guys… can't you two do this at lunch? I mean, it's truly inspiring that you two can do this in public, but I would like to get to class, and assure myself that you will get there, too."
Demyx hums impatiently and taps his fingers on his legs, he had never been one able to stay in one place without moving for very long, "Can we go now, Zex?"
"Of course." Zexion and Demyx hurry toward their school, already having heard the warning bell, "Don't forget to go to first you two! Roxas has good attendance record!" Zexion and Roxas both prided themselves on this and their grades, both usually only missed one day at most out of the whole school year, Zexion for reasons unbeknownst to others.
