"Hello, I'm doctor Namine," the short blonde women greeted me as we walked into her office, leaving Axel alone in the waiting room.
I smiled and nodded, too nervous to speak.
She sat in a large leather seat and motioned for me to sit across from her on a beige loveseat.
"So, Roxas tell me what brings you here," she told me, smiling sweetly.
"My brother, Sora, died in a house fire a month ago," I replied. "My ex, who I've been staying with, thought it would be a good idea for me to see somebody."
"Your ex is Axel, correct?" she asked pointing towards the door. I nodded in response. "Were you in the house with Sora when he died?"
I nodded, once more, unable to find my voice.
"Axel mentioned something about nightmares," she brought up. "Would you like to tell me about them?"
I shook my head; swallow back the emotions that wanted to explode at the thought.
"Okay, what would you like to talk about, then?" she asked, her voice natural, a slight friendly smile playing at her lips.
"I'm having mixed emotions...," I stated.
"How do you mean?"
"When Axel holds me, I feel like pulling away," I mumbled. "However, I don't want to, but more like, I feel I have to..."
"Is it possible that you feel guilty about Sora's death?" she asked, and I thought that she might be right I could definitely feel guilt. "Do you think maybe, that you feel you don't deserve Axel's comfort because Sora died and you are still alive?"
I did not respond, did not know how, so we sat in silence, my eyes focused on the ground, while I could feel her blue hues trained on me. We remained in silence until the end of the session.
When we arrived back at Axel's apartment, we found that Alex was not alone. He was on the lounge with a blonde boy who, despite the lack of resemblance, looked like he was Alex conjoined twin by the mouth...or better yet the tongue.
We stared at the teens for a few seconds in surprise, before Axel cleared his throat to alert them of our presence.
"Sorry," the blonde boy smiled at me sheepishly, pushing the redheaded mouth monster away and holding out his hand. "I'm Demyx, Alex's boyfriend."
"I would hope so," I mumbled taking his extended hand. "I'm Roxas; I'm staying here at the moment."
"I know who you are," he told me as our hand pulled apart. "Alex has told me about you. Speaking of which can you settle an argument for us?"
"What is it about?" Axel asked from next to me.
"Well, Alex thinks you two are just friends and I think you two are dating, which is it?"
"Were just friends," I answered at the same time as Axel said, "Were together."
"We aren't together?" Axel questioned me.
"No, you're me ex-boyfriend/good friend," I told him. "Why would you think we were back together?"
He opened his mouth, as though he was going to answer, but then closed it again before speaking.
"We share a bed," he mumbled after a few moments.
"That doesn't mean we're seeing each other…" I told him.
We were plunged into silence, Axel staring at the ground, myself looking any were but him, Demyx staring wide-eyed at us, and Alex glaring daggers at his boyfriend.
I climbed into bed, it was just after seven, Demyx had stayed for dinner, even though it had been awkward as anything, and had left not long ago.
Axel followed me into the bedroom; he seemed to want to be my shadows replacement as of late.
He climbed into bed as well, spooning me from behind, while I left my mind drift to what Namine had said.
I was starting to think that maybe she could help…she seemed to want to talk, not just load me up with pills like the other therapists I had seen.
I was beginning to drift off to sleep, feeling somewhat hopeful, when Axel spoke.
"It sure feels like were back together," he breathed. "This was my favourite part of our relationship, falling asleep with you in my arms and waking up with you next to me…I really missed you being the first thing I saw when first waking up."
A/N: So…I've finished editing…I think this story is almost over, but I was think of writing a sequel about Demyx and Alex, based few years after this story, if you think I should write it could you please review?
Also, review and tell me if you think Axel and Roxas should get back together or not.
I did get a review, but I couldn't reply, so thank you. The chapters are longer now and I hope you like the way I've done it.
