Here it is, finally! :D Chapter 4! :D Yeah, so after I submitted the AkuRoku chapter, I say down and was just like ' I'm going to do this RIGHT NOW! ' And I did! xD As soon I got past the first few sentences, it all just came flooding in! ^w^ Thank you, oh wonderful Zexion muse! I worship the air you breathe! xD *looks around self-consciously* o.o; uhhh, well ANYWAYS so this chapter has a cliffie! *evil smile* Heheheheh! *shot repeatedly, ish dead* X_x Ow...

DISCLAIMER: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, Zexion, Axel, and Demyx would've NEVER died. Or Xigbar. Oh, and Kairi would be dead. But, alas, I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Darn.


The next morning, Zexion stayed home. He didn't dare go to school, in case Demyx found him again. When his father came into the kitchen and found Zexion there, he frowned but didn't say a word. Zexion often skipped a day here and there. He did it whenever he really needed to think. But today he had a different reason, though he'd never tell his father that. And as long as his grades didn't suffer, his father had no problem with him skipping. But he couldn't skip two days in a row, though.

The next day, as Zexion was driving to school, he contemplated hiding in the bathroom all day, or maybe the library again. He did NOT want to face Demyx. Why was he acting like he cared? He's not supposed to care about a druggie like me. He's supposed to steer clear of a guy like me.... But he knew he couldn't hide all day. Demyx would come looking for him again. He sighed as he got out of the car. He was early again. Maybe he could at least hide until the bell rang. " Hey, Zexion!" Fuck. There goes that idea. He turned around slowly. Demyx and Axel were walking over. Double fuck. There was two of them. They came to him. Demyx was smiling that golden smile that made Zexion's hard beat so much faster. Axel was just eyeing Zexion critically. " Who's this, Demyx?" he asked his best friend. " This is Zexion." Demyx introduced. " Zexion, this is-"

" I know who he is." Zexion interrupted. There was a moment of silence. I won't talk unless you make me, Zexion thought stubbornly. Demyx's amazing smile was gone now, thankfully. Hopefully Zexion wouldn't get moonstruck again. He tried hard to focus on a cloud behind the blond boy's head, but he kept drifting back to his aqua green eyes.

" Where were you yesterday? You didn't come to school." Demyx asked. " ....I stayed home. My mother wasn't feeling well. I was looking after her." he lied.

" Oh. That's nice of you." Zexion blinked.

" It happens often." he said. That was true. Any time his mother was particularly weak, he would stay home and look after her. " Umm, so what's up, Zexy? Can I call you Zexy?"

Call me whatever you want..... " No."

Demyx frowned

" Oh. Ok, then. Can I call you Zex?"

Sure..... " No."

Axel raised an eyebrow questioningly.

" Can we call you Zexion?" he asked sarcastically.

" No," Zexion said, just to be spiteful.

Axel glared at him.

" Remind me why you wanted to come talk to him again?" he asked his best friend.

Demyx blinked and frowned.

" I thought he would want to talk. But I guess not.

I do want to talk! I'll talk to you forever. " Nope. Sorry." He turned away. " I thought I told you the other day. You shouldn't be around me."

" And why not?" There was a challenge in Demyx's voice.

" ....Because." Zexion took a step away from them, but then froze. Demyx had grabbed his arm lightly. His stupid heart was fluttering twice its normal speed. The blood rose to his face, and he cursed his teenage hormones. " Let go of me." he hissed through gritted teeth.

" No." His beautiful, perfect voice sounded stubborn. " Tell me. Why do you think such things?" Zexion yanked his arm away. It felt like a dozen needles were pricking his skin where Demyx touched it. Zexion glared at him.

" You don't want to know." he said darkly. " Trust me."

" Try me." There was a challenging glint in his eyes.

" No. I won't do that to you."

" What do you mean?"

" ......"

" Tell me!"

" NO! Just stop asking already!" Zexion shouted.

Demyx flinched, surprised. Zexion was shaking with anger. Then his vision swam, and the shaking increased. Shit! I haven't gotten my fix yet! Zexion took a step back, unsteady. Demyx looked worried now. " Zexion? Are you okay?" he asked. His voice sounded far away. Zexion clenched his teeth and fought. He was getting dizzy now. He fell to his knees, shaking. " Go away, Demyx!" he said through his clenched teeth. Demyx's eyes were wide with shock.

" What's wrong, Zexion? Zexion?"

" Get away from me, Demyx!" Zexion insisted. He curled into a ball on the ground, putting his shaking hands to his stomach. He felt like he was going to hurl. " Go! Now!" Demyx didn't move. Axel took a step back. " He looks like he's going to pass out. Maybe I should get the nurse....." the voice sounded from somewhere far, far away. Zexion's vision started fading, and the last thing he saw was Demyx kneeling over him anxiously before he passed out.
