Thanks Espresso Marie for your review! I really appriciated it!
I'm still wondering why I end up writing the chapters of this story from late in the evening to early in the morning...
Warning: Yaoi, yeah again xD And some mild swearing I guess... somewhere
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
A/N: The beginning of this chapter is from Zexion's point of view and later Axel, my little announcer, is going to have his second appearance xD
It was awkward, really awkward, standing in front of a restaurant like this waiting for his… date? He was unable to distract himself from that unpleasant feeling, his heart fluttering in his chest.
How could this have happened? How could Demyx have fallen in love with him? There was nothing attractive about him at all! He was just the unsociable lover of books, no one talked to him and absolutely no one would even get the idea to want a relationship with him!
Zexion didn't consider the gender of the person that had fallen in love with him an important fact, indeed it didn't matter at all. But he knew that his reserved and harsh manner made it difficult for girls to approach him but until now he hadn't even thought about love so it had been irrelevant for him. But then why? Why did this happen?
"Zexion"
He turned just to look into those oceanic blue eyes that were sparkling at him.
Oh my God…
X X X
This unpleasant feeling just wouldn't leave him, no, it got worse when he sat face to face with that dark blond that confused him more than he would admit it.
Did he really wear a jacket? Zexion hadn't expected that Demyx even possessed something like that! And why, just why, was there this annoying little candle in the middle of the table creating the atmosphere of a candlelight dinner?
Zexion was embarrassed, a deep blush appeared on his cheeks. He just wished the ground would open and swallow him up.
"Zexy, you're so quiet" Demyx commented.
"I'm famous for being quiet"
"Yeah but you were never quiet toward me" The dark blond replied.
"I was just explaining you something"
"Right but it's talking nonetheless!"
This was too much! Why did Demyx have to argue about something like that right now? Zexion couldn't even think properly. He didn't know what he should say. He couldn't talk right now, he was too embarrassed!
"Why…? Why do you…?" The slate haired teen muttered, unable to complete the sentence.
"Zexy?"
The deeply blushed teen looked up to see Demyx leaning forward slightly as if he wanted to whisper something into his ear and Zexion knew it was a trick and yet he leaned forward too. He wasn't surprised when their lips met but simply overwhelmed. But why? A kiss didn't mean anything! But perhaps he just thought so because he hadn't been in love before.
Demyx pulled back, slightly blushed but smiling widely. "I love you" He whispered.
Why? When did this happen?
He didn't know why but he just couldn't pull back.
They had left the restaurant an hour ago. Since then they were standing in some corner of the street kissing. He couldn't really understand it but Demyx's lips on his own felt… good, it felt right. It was what he wanted, what he needed.
But what felt Demyx when he licked over his pale lips asking for entrance? And why didn't he doubt that the dark blond simply loved him when he granted it? Their tongues were battling for dominance but in the end no one won. They were satisfied with just touching the other, feeling them, tasting them. He pulled back when he ran out of oxygen.
"I love you" Zexion said and he meant it. It felt right so it was, it had to be.

Zexion was sitting alone in his class room. The others had already left so he used the chance and tried to finish reading his book.
"Hey Zexion!"
The slate haired male looked up when a teen with bright silver, almost white, hair approached him.
"Riku, what is it?"
His class mate had some papers in his hand. "The Graduation ceremony is in two weeks. You have to prepare the first part of the speech" Riku answered.
Right. At the graduation ceremony the three best students had to stand on the stage. Two of them gave a speech; the third one mostly presented something else.
"Sure. What about you?" Zexion asked.
"I don't have to worry about it" The silver haired male replied mysteriously and put the papers on Zexion's desk.
Riku wasn't among the three best? But the other students nearly hated him as much as the slate haired teen; Zexion for studying and reading everything he could get and Riku for being a genius without having to learn. The students that had to be in the same class as the two geniuses were nearly consumed with envy.
Zexion looked at the papers curiously. Riku was only the fourth on the list; Roxas was the second and the third…
"What? That can't be!" He said disbelieving.
"Why do you doubt it? You were his tutor after all" Riku replied grinning.
Demyx? But how could that be? Demyx sucked at school, that was why he had asked Zexion to help him in the first place!
"Well, at least I don't have to worry about what I could perform at the ceremony. Our musician surely has no problem with that" The silver haired male stated. He looked pretty happy that he hadn't to do it. "By the way, Sora has to lock that room now so you should be going"
The mentioned teen had just entered the room.
"Right. That's what I planned anyway"
He looked at the brunette boy who was responsible for the spare key, closing and opening doors when no teachers were around and so on. Zexion always wondered about the boy's interest for keys. Did he want to become locksmith or something?
Sora didn't even notice him. He just stared at the silver haired male when Zexion left the room.
Ah, that was it…
What a strange couple. Sora still looked like a kid and Riku was obviously ahead of his age. Still Zexion couldn't help but think that they were a cute couple too. He smiled subconsciously when he walked through the corridors of the school.
X X X
Zexion really hated it being the center of attention, all those students looking at him while he gave a speech. A speech that meant so much for the soon-to-be-adults; leaving school, starting a new life and even finding love and raising a family… He couldn't help but smile at the part about love. The slate haired male took a quick glance at Demyx who was standing to his right. The dark blond looked at him but the students in front of the stage wouldn't notice it since he hid it pretty well.
He looked thoughtful and Zexion wondered what Demyx could be thinking about at a moment like this...
Something rather unexpected he noticed when Demyx suddenly put his hands on Zexion's waist and kissed him… in front of everyone. Zexion was totally surprised and even more so was the audience.
He didn't care what the others thought about him, it was interesting to see their reactions though. The girls just smiled or didn't even care. A few boys, but obviously the minority, looked angry even disgusted. There were some homophobes at school after all.
The majority, among them the little Sora, blushed deeply and some, like Riku, didn't show any reaction whatsoever. But all of the parents were definitely more shocked than their almost adult children.
Zexion was relieved he couldn't see Demyx's parents among them. He didn't know if the dark blond had told them he was gay or at least in a relationship with another man…
X X X
Roxas, who was standing left to Zexion, sighed. It didn't look like they would stop making out in the next minutes so he finished Zexion's part of the speech and added his own as if it was planned like that all along. He just hoped that Axel didn't get any stupid ideas since he couldn't find the redhead among the students.
Roxas was rather surprised that Demyx even realized the end of the speech, pulling away from his lover. Zexion looked almost disappointed when the dark blond took a chair and his guitar to perform his task of the ceremony.
Axel listened from afar. He waited for the end of the ceremony, noticing that something unusual happened but didn't care about it at all. He had his own plan. This was his last day at school after all and as soon as the ceremony ended he would make it a day worth remembering… (A/N: I leave it up to your imagination what Axel did after the ceremony ^_^)
- Axel's P.O.V. -
Wow, I can't believe I graduated from school two months ago!
Roxas bought the club we used to go to and it's our home now. What? You wonder how Roxas could do such a thing just after leaving school? Well, it was kinda funny. Some strange guy offered him to work as a model and the fee was… well amazing. Roxas quit immediately after his first assignment though. Man, we could've become rich I tell you! But he prefers to be private tutor… that reminds me of something…
Anyway Roxas has found a new hobby and it's neither tutoring nor working as a model! No, he's become the greatest supporter of the SoRiku pairing! He tells me everything and I mean everything! Every hug, every kiss, he must be stalking them to get all those information! I didn't know but it looks like Sora and Roxas are pretty close. They were in the same class so I guess that's possible...
Now I remember what this whole private tutoring thing reminded me of. The way our little Zemyx couple got together of course!
They moved in together. Yeah, in Zexion's apartment since he lived alone and all. His apartment is rather big and cozy; at least that's what Demyx told me. But still the two of them hang around here pretty often, for example right now. I don't mind, they're our friends after all but dare them to steal my private time with Roxy! Then I'm kicking them out personally! But right now Roxy isn't here and they are… discussing something. I guess it has something to do with Zexion's future.
… Oh sorry, I thought I heard something. Must've been my imagination…
Whoa! No it wasn't my imagination. Just know a certain slate haired guy rushed through the front door without saying bye…
I guess I should go talk to Demyx then…
- Axel's P.O.V. End -
Demyx was sitting in his guest room in the club. Yeah, Roxas and Axel let him borrow this room with Zexion since they dropped by almost daily and his friends didn't need that much space for themselves anyway.
Suddenly there was a faint knock on the door, through the same door Zexion had walked just seconds ago.
"Yeah?"
His redheaded friend entered the room and leaned against the door after he had closed it.
"What's wrong?" Axel asked worried.
Demyx sighed. "Zexion wants to go to a college in a town I haven't even heard of. I would only see him during vacation but I don't want to be separated from him for such a long time" He explained.
"Can't you find a solution on this problem?"
"I wanted to move there but his parents wouldn't allow him to give up the apartment"
Axel chuckled.
"What's funny about this?" Demyx hissed.
"Nothing, sorry. I just remembered you totally ignored your family when they didn't allow you to move so I guess would be easy for you to ignore his family too, wouldn't it?"
"We couldn't pay the rent ourselves. I'm just some jobless musician after all…" The dark blond replied.
"I see… and why did he…?"
Demyx sighed again. "He says I'm an egoist. He expects more from his life and I would be too selfish to understand him"
"I'm sorry… I wished I could help you" Axel said. He had never been good at helping and sometimes he couldn't help but feel useless.
Demyx shook his head. "Don't worry. A t least he agreed to resolve this problem between us before he makes a decision…"
- Axel's P.O.V. -
Poor little Demy… If I wouldn't know it better I would say Zexy is some heartless asshole.
But I know they can overcome any obstacle. Yeah, I mean Demyx's parents didn't even have a chance to stop him. They had been shocked when he said he wanted to move in with his tutor. "You don't even know him!" They had said. Yeah, they really did! But Zexion was in their house like… every day? "I do! I love him!" Demy had countered. I didn't even know that our little Demy could be that cool. It's a pity I didn't see it. Roxas told me. Demyx never spoke about that with me… I wonder why? Aren't I the trust worthiest person here?
Axel saved his best joke for last xD Btw If he knows about Zemyx and Soriku... does he know about Akuroku too? xDD
There are probably two more chapters. Please review^^
