Let Me Call You Baby

The next morning went down much the same as any other. I was up by 5 and headed to the kitchen for the usual orders by 5:45. I was in front of the penthouse suite at 5:58 sharp. Knocking on the door, I waited for it to be answered by a presumably irate Roxas. I was surprised when a pale hand shot out of the crack in the door, covering my mouth and dragging me into the suite.

I waited until my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room before trying to identify my captor.

"Blue?" I said, though it only came out as a garbled mumble.

Zexion held a finger to his lips and released me. I missed his warmth already. Taking the breakfast from me, he set it all on the table and tugged me back out, but not before grabbing his cappuccino. Once we were in the hallways, I spoke up.

"What was that all about?"

"I left a note saying that we had errands to run and we would be gone most of the day. Therefore, we have the whole day to ourselves."

I raised an eyebrow. "Clever." This wasn't in my plans, but I could go with it.

Smiling, I reached out my hand to Blue, hoping with all my heart her would take it. Zexion accepted the gesture without hesitation. Beaming up at him, I led the way to the elevator.

Pressing the button, we waited for the elevator to reach our floor. A comfortable silence settled, warm like the silent warmth of a hug. Something that warms you from the inside out.

We stepped into the elevator, with my still pondering where we were going to end up, and Blue staring pensively into his already almost-gone cappuccino.

When the elevator reached the ground, we headed past Axel, who was at the desk booting up the computer. We tried to sneak past him to no avail.

"Dem! Hey! Where are you sneaking off to so early? I thought you were working for that tight-laces blonde guy."

I groaned, but turned to face Axel anyway.

"I am. Im working right now."

"Looks more like your sneaking out. So tell me, who's your friend?"

Looking back, I noticed Zexion trying to fade into the woodwork. That, unfortunately, was impossible, due to his hair. Sighing, I pulled Blue next to me.

"Axel, this is Bl-Zexion Wilson. Roxas works for him. He's my boss. Mr. Wilson, this is my best friend and band mate, Axel Martin."

Axel perked up, suddenly at attention.

"Hello sir. Please excuse me my earlier manners, I didn't recognize you."

Blue smirked.

"At ease soldier." Axel smiled and relaxed. "Demyx and I are going out. Do you think you could cover for us?"

Axel's eyes widened.

"Of course. Be glad to. You kids have fun now."

I rolled my eyes and pushed open the revolving door, preceding Blue.

"Sorry about that. He's a little weird."

Blue shrugged. "No problem. Though it was kind of funny when he snapped to attention." Blue smiled.

I surveyed Blue with a concentrated gaze, tilting my head to the side slightly.

"What?"

"Nothing." I replied. "You just look really nice when you smile. That's all."

A light blush crept across Zexion's face as we walked down the street. Looking at his feet, he cleared his throat.

"So, where are we off to?"

"A little place another block up. It's a small café that one of my friends bartends at."

Blue made a mock anguished face.

"Oh no, not another one of your friends!"

I swatted at him, only to have him dodge me and skip slightly ahead, smiling.

We walked the rest of the distance in silence until I stopped us at a smell sign in the ground next to a flight of stairs leading downwards.

"Café Al Finé? Al finé, meaning 'the end'?"

"Yup. My friend Marluxia works here. There are never many people here." We descended the stairs to the small, underground café.

Marluxia lounged behind the bar, polishing a small teacup. Nodding a hello, he seemed much calmer at this hour then he had backstage last night. Looking around, I only saw two other patrons here this early.

Looking behind me, I watched Zexion take in the chocolate colored walls, dark wrought iron tables and chairs, the dim chandelier's, the back walnut bar, and the pink haired man standing behind it. I also watched his gaze travel to the small, wood paneled stage, topped with a glossy black grand piano.

Taking Blue's hand, I led him to one of the tables and we sat across from each other. Having long discarded his cappuccino, he surveyed the menus on the opposite wall.

"What would you like?" I asked.

"Uhm...just a vanilla chai latte."

"Alright." Leaving the table, I headed to the bar.

"Hey Marly."

"Hey Dem. The usual?"

"Yeah, the usual and a vanilla chai latte."

"Coming right up, just give me a sec."

"Sure."

Tapping my finger tips rhythmically on the counter, my chin rested in my hand and I watched Blue from afar. He was watching the person on stage play a slow, quiet, soothing guitar melody.

Marluxia soon came back with the drinks as promised. After accepting them and paying, I brought them to the table. Blue accepted his cup with a warm smile or gratitude that made my heart do somersaults. Sitting with my own cup, I wrapped my hands around the mug and stared at Blue across the table.

His hair was slightly frizzy, like all he had done was run a brush through it rather then style it. His torso was clad in a black turtleneck, a small delicate chain with a petite eighth note protruding from the neck. His legs were incased in dark blue jeans that flared slightly at the bottoms, almost hiding white and blue checked vans. Blue brought the small cup to his lips and sipped lightly, looking at me over the rims of his rectangular reading glasses.

I smiled back, sipping my own drink. Seeing the man on stage leave, I was struck with an idea.

"Be right back." Zexion nodded sedately and smiled again.

Approaching the counter again, I waited for Marluxia to notice me.

"What can I do for you Dem?"

"Do you mind if I do a solo set?" I nodded towards the stage.

"Guess not."

"Alright, thanks!"

"Wait, are you just gonna use the piano or do you need something?"

"Just the piano. I've got a new song I want you to hear."

"Really? Did you write it for the band or Sea Salt ice cream head over there?"

I blushed a little. Marluxia smiled

"Thought so."

Smiling in gratitude, I walked up to the stage, catching Zexion's eye as I went. Blue raised a delicate eyebrow as I went past our table to the piano in back. I merely winked back. I sat on the bench, opened the cover, and ran my fingers lovingly over the keys. I took a breath and lightly depressed a few of the keys. After playing the introduction, I began to sing just loud enough to be heard.

"Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

Surely you can take some comfort knowing that you're mine

Just hold me tight, lay by my side and let me be the one who calls you baby all the time.

I found my place in the world Could stare at your face for the rest of my days

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out and smother me Warm and alive I'm all over you would you smother me?

Let me be the one who never leaves you all alone I hold my breath and lose the feeling that I'm on my own Hold me too tight, stay by my side and let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

I found my place in the world Could stare at your face for the rest of my days

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out and smother me Warm and alive I'm all over you would you smother me?

Smother me

When I'm alone time goes so slow I need you here with me and how my mistakes have made your heart break Still I need you here with me So baby I'm, baby I'm here

Now I can breathe, turn my insides out and smother me Warm and alive I'm all over you would you smother me?

Smother me

Let me be the one who calls you baby all the time

Let me be the one who calls you baby

The one who calls you baby."

When the song finished, I quietly closed the lid on the keys and bowed my head before looking towards Zexion. Blue was staring at me, seemingly mesmerized. I stood and walked off the stage, sitting back down at the table. Zexion blinked at me, wide eyed.

"So, did you like it?"

Blue nodded.

"It was for you."

Blue nodded.

I smiled.

"Come on, lets go. I know exactly where I want to take you next."

Zexion smiled and seemed to compose himself. Nodding, he stood and took my hand, both of us heading to the door. Coming out into the now-bright sunlight, Blue and I started right, heading down the sidewalk at a steady pace. We paused when there was a voice behind us calling Zexion's name. Both of us turned, shock at seeing Roxas running towards us splashed across our faces. We turned to face each other, I winked, gripped his hand tighter, and we took off running in the opposite direction, blending into the crowd, Roxas' bellows getting fainter.
