xX It's too hot, It's too cold, this jacket's too thick! Xx

When he awoke back up in the morning though, he found himself back on the couch. He didn't fall asleep on the couch, did he? He didn't remember doing so… or did he dream about moving to the bed? The television was on…

What was that noise?

Demyx groggily rolled of the couch with a thud and followed the mysterious noise to its core, only to find that it led to the… laundry room. What the hell? After just waiting outside the slightly ajar door and trying to figure out what the sounds was, he realized that it was of someone having sex. Oh god, come on Zexion! Demyx could've sworn that they promised that he would have sex with Xigbar again in his—

Oh.

He wasn't sure he was really completely awake yet… but if he was seeing things correctly, that wasn't Zexion under Xigbar, nor a male. Oh.

Demyx quietly backed out of the room, before hastily walking back to the living room, grabbing his clothes and his house key, set out on having a discussion with Zexion.

--

"Zexion… How about we go get a drink…?" Demyx asked, sounding miserable.

Zexion was confused. "What?" He asked, tilting his head to the side.

"I am suggesting that we go to get a couple drinks, just to, you know… hang, I guess…" Demyx said, shrugging.

Zexion continued to look at him weird. "But it's nine in the morning," He said.

Demyx nodded, but smiled. "Yes, I know. I'm just in the mood for a few drinks," He explained, smiling at him.

Zexion slowly and hesitatingly nodded. "Ok, I suppose we could go," He said. Demyx smiled at him again before taking his hand and leading him out of the bathroom. "You're gonna need them…" He mumbled. "What?" Zexion asked. "What was that?"

"Nothing! Just reminding myself to do something later!" Demyx immediately said. Zexion just gave him an interesting look before realizing that his hand was attached to Demyx's. He immediately ripped it from him and blushed, using the same hand to grab something as if he had meant to do that.

Soon after, they left the apartment. Demyx took him to a nice little tavern that not many knew about, and sat them down in the corner so no one would bug them. He ordered a pint for each of them before he started talking. First, he handed the engagement ring to Zexion. Since Zexion was a lightweight and already totally gone, he giggled when he saw it. "I can't, darling, because I'm getting married already… Next week. You wanna come??" He asked, giggling like a maniac.

"But I totally would, you- you know why? Because you're a sexy beast. Yea, you're- you're a sexy beast and I just want to—" Zexion. No listen, this is your engagement ring, look," Demyx interrupted him, and showed him the now ringless hand.

"Oh wouldya lookat that…" Zexion mumbled, leaning incredibly close to it and squinting his eyes. Demyx couldn't help but laugh at the male's antics.

"Zexion, Xigbar is cheating on you with some woman," He told him, and Zexion looked taken aback. "Aw man that sucks. I feel fer him mannnn. Hey, hey listen- no, listen! WOULD EVERYBODY SHUT UP!?!?" He randomly screamed, although no one but the live band was yelling. "Kay, don't tell anyone, but-but I know this guy! And I'm like –shhhhh don't tell anyone, but I'm inside his body. Oh my god, creepy, right? But-but, his boyfriend is cheating on him too with some other little blondie with like, a rocky ass or something like that, pfffft! His boyfriend told me not to tell anyone, so shhh! He'll get mad at me if he finds out!" Zexion yelled, laughing his ass off the whole while.

Demyx looked horrified. "W-what? Zexion, what—" I said, that this like, guy's boyfriend is cheating on him. His boyfriend is kewwwwl though, he's got like a hedgehog on his fucking head! It's like a bloody version of SONIC! I love that place, sonic. You ever eat there?" Zexion continued screaming.

Demyx though was not at all happy and hyper. He was actually crying now, at the thought of Axel cheating on him. "O-oh, did I make you CRY??" Zexion asked, looking terribly upset. "That's OK, my mom, she like hates me n' all, but, but my mom, she used to scare the shit out of leetle kiddies and make them CRY! Is my mom around? I'll make you stop crying, c'merreeee," Zexion climbed up on the table on his hands and knees, and reached over to Demyx and hugged him.

"Iss okay, I didn't mean to make you cry, my mom's just scary," He said. Demyx couldn't help but kind of giggle through his crying. Zexion was so naïve when he was drunk, it was kinda cute. "N-no Zexion, it's not your mom… You told me that Axel was ch-cheating on me!" Demyx cried, hugging Zexion back.

"I know what it's like baby, shhhhhh, I know… I just had this really hot guy tell me my fiancé is cheating on me too…" Zexion said, who also started crying. 'Well,' Demyx thought. 'Seems like it finally got through to him'.

So the two sat there, crying in each other's arms for only FSM knows how long. Eventually the bartender came over and told them to get out.

"It's closing time, get out," He said, glaring at them. Zexion looked at him. "B-but it's only nine in the morning!" He said. The bartender, who was surprised that the boy was still conscious, looked at them sternly. "No, it's midnight," He growled, before dragging the two to the door and booting them out.

--

The two walked home with Demyx carrying Zexion bridal style (even with the height difference) , as they cried and talked. Zexion was busy rambling about how his wedding was going to look, where it was and all the such. Demyx wasn't really listening, and was wallowing in his sorrow. They decided to pass out at Demyx's apartment because there was no one there who would care if they were drunk.

Demyx let Zexion pass out on the smelly couch, before he went into Axel's room to see if that 'Rockie Ass' kid was there. Sure enough, he was. Demyx wanted to scream right then and there! But he knew better than to do so. He tippily walked into the bathroom to find something to sabotage Axel with. But he found something much better than that, oh ho ho! He found that engagement ring box and decided to use that instead. He walked back into the room, and before he used the box, he grabbed a sharpie and wrote 'FUCK YOU!' in huge letter on his forehead. He then snapped the box shut on his nose as hard as he could before running back to the living room and jumping on the couch with Zexion, pretending to be asleep.

Axel ran out into the living room, obviously pissed. "God what the hell, Demyx!!" He roared. He stomped over to the couch and grabbed Zexion by mistake and shook him by the collar of his overcoat. "Stop faking you asshole!" Axel screamed in his face. Demyx, alarmed by this, immediately jumped up. "Let go of him!" He yelled, grabbing onto Axel's arms. Axel only glared, and dropped Zexion to the ground, who was still miraculously unconscious. "Why the hell did you do that??" Axel yelled, shoving Demyx. "Why wouldn't I! After I learned that you were cheating on me with some fucking minor!" He yelled back. Axel started to say something back, but stopped himself. "You know what, just get out!" He snapped, pushing him in the direction of the door. "You don't have to tell me," Demyx growled, bending down only to pick up Zexion's limp form and carry him out the door..

--

So, instead of bunking at Demyx's place, they ended up sleeping on the couches in Zexion's flat.

--Skip to morning--

A very hung over Zexion and a very disgruntled Demyx sat at the table in silence, both pondering their thoughts. Earlier, when Zexion was first completely awake, he punched Xigbar. Xigbar, confused, and in turn just left the flat for a while.

With that over with, now it was time for Demyx to ask Zexion about his whole family issue.

"So your mom called the other day," He started. Zexion looked up at him and glared. "Yes, I know." Was all he said, before taking a sip of his tea. There was a tensioned silence for a minute or two.

"So why don't you answer? Or help them?" Demyx then asked, scathingly.

Zexion looked bored. "Why should I? They—"

"Maybe because they're your family??" Demyx interrupted.

Zexion merely continued. "Why should I? They were the ones who didn't want anything to do with me, ever. I don't see why they're all of a sudden interested in my existence," He said, thus ending the conversation.

--Flashback--

Zexion, it seemed, was the total loser in his family. No one liked him. It was like as soon as he started school, no one cared anymore. So they just ignored him. They gave him food and shelter, yes, but they never gave him much more than a 'Here,' or 'that's nice'. He had seven brothers and sisters, and he was one of the youngest. He thought that maybe they didn't like him because he was a lot smaller than everyone else.

Or maybe it was because he was so smart. His family was smart, yes, but he was smarter than all of them combined. But every day at dinner, the whole family would sit and chat to everyone about their day except to Zexion. If he tried to say something, they either ignored him or interrupted him. No one cared what he had to say because he was Zexion, that little freak. But he didn't mind. He was always the quiet and shy one, anyway. So he would just sit there, eating quietly and swinging his legs, thinking to himself.

So one day, in the ninth grade, he realized he was gay. He had to escort a new kid around the school, and he got a hard on from just looking at him. So, in the end, they got together. Zexion, for once, was actually really happy. He didn't get happy. Zexion was just the emotionless kid who didn't care if his family ignored him. Zexion brought his boyfriend home, one day, for dinner. Everyone just thought the kid was a friend, but that was a surprise because Zexion just didn't have friends either. They all asked him friendly questions, until he gave them an answer that no one would like, except Zexion, of course.

"So, how long have you and Zexion been friends?" Zexion's father asked. "As long as we've been going out, sir," The boy smiled innocently, and with that the whole room went silent. Everyone was either staring at Zexion or his boyfriend. Zexion's father cleared his throat, and the rest of the meal went without conversation.

As soon as the guest left, Zexion was being screamed at by everybody. "We just knew you were a freak!!" "God, what a gay freak! I knew something was wrong with you all along!" "What the hell is wrong with you?! God, you disgusting freak!"

With that, he was literally tossed out of the house, a suit case full of clothes following him. When he landed, he fell on his arm and it made a sickening crunching noise. "Stay away from us, do you hear me? We don't want to ever hear from you, ever!!" His mom screamed, slamming the door on him.

--End Flashback--

Demyx sighed, exasperated, and looked to Zexion. "Fine. Whatever. Let's just go get Downey so we can hurry and rehearse for your fucking interview on Oprah." He said. "Why did you have to accept the invitation--"

"I find it funny that you keep dissing Oprah, yet under your folder on the DVR at the apartment, you have her show to be recorded every day," Zexion said, smirking into his tea.

Look, I got another one up today! It's an apology chapter, for being a douche last night. I was tired and not in my right mind, but that's not really an excuse. I guess what I really meant to say was that reviews, no matter what they say, make me feel better. It tells me that you actually like my writing. I didn't mean to come off as a fucking pissy douche, because I know that's what it looked like :C

And the title of chapter 3 was meant to go with the last line of that chapter, not the rant. I just thought of that xD
