Chapter 2.
"So, Demyx huh." The spiked haired teen got up from the table and walked over to the blond, who looked slightly confused.
"Yeah." Demyx responded.
"Names Axel, got it memorized?" Axel stated stopping in front of the blond.
"We'll it's not like it's hard to remember." Demyx stated, confusion still plastered on his face.
Axel chuckled.
"Well let me introduce you to the crew." Axel grinned.
"That right there is Luxord, if you ever need munny, play a game of cards with him, most of the time you'll win." Axel said pointing to the blond, with the royal flush tattoo.
"Big talk for a guy who's never won a game against me." The blond said slamming his cards on the table. "I'm out." He stated to the red head sitting across from him.
"Won again." The red head stated triumphantly.
"Red head there is Lexaeus. He's o.k. he just has this weird habit of humming when he eats." Axel said smirking.
"I do not Axel, and I suggest you stop telling people that. You do remember what happened last time, don't you?" Lexaeus turned and smiled evilly at Axel.
"What happened last time?" Demyx asked leaning over to whisper in Axel's ear.
"I'll tell you later, lets just say it involved tomahawk, and a haircut I never wanted." Axel whispered back, suppressing the chill that ran down his spine when Demyx had leaned over to talk in his ear.
"The bitter guy standing in the corner is Xaldin, he's o.k. too as long as he has a wall to lean against." Axel pointed to a tall guy with long black hair and leather jacket.
"Shorty that came in with him is Zexion." Axel leaned over to the silver haired boy and patted him on the head. "He has this whole obsessive hygiene issue, flips out if your not constantly clean. You know since he can smell us from another world away."
"Axel, did you forget that incident so quickly?" The silver haired boy pulled away from Axel petting hand to glare at him.
"Um, moving right along." Axel said scratching the back of his head.
"Incident?" Demyx asked again.
"Um, let's just say he messed with my mind a little, and by the end of the day, I was clucking and cock-a-doodle doing while pecking at pieces of corn." Axel said shaking his head. "I still wake up at dawn you jerk!" Axel all of a sudden yelled at Zexion who was chuckling.
"We're definitely going to have to show the new kid the pictures." The guy with pink hair and flowered shirt stated laughing.
"Oh, Mr. Gay as all hell there is Marluxia, stay clear when he's in drag, he gets this whole clingy thing going to him." Axel said staring coldly at the pink haired boy.
"Axel did you…' Marluxia began.
"I know, I know." Axel sighed. "I didn't forget the time you put poison Ivy in all my cloths and I was stuck walking around naked for a week. God you would think I could forget." Axel sighed again.
Demyx looked over at the teen and began to laugh. Green eyes turned to stare at him, as he tried to control his laughter. He hadn't noticed the small tears under Axel's eyes till now.
"Sorry." Demyx chuckled.
"Anyway, Fashion victim in the sweater vest is Saix, don't mind him, his bitter all the time." Axel said smirking at the pissed off looking blue haired man. "And don't bother reminding me what happen last lime, I'm reminded by it every time I pee, no wait, that was Larxene." Axel corrected.
Demyx assumed it was the women who had threatened to castrate everyone.
"Larxene isn't here, but you'll know her when you see her.' Axel said.
"Is she the only female?" Demyx asked.
"No, Her and Marluxia." Axel said pointing to the pink haired boy.
"AXEL…' Marluxia growled.
"It was just a joke." Axel said. "But you'll know Larxene by the trail of torture devises she leaves behind.
"And finally Xigbar the kitten killer." Axel said glancing over to where the patch eyed man sat. "Although he has that whole surfer voice going for him, and the relaxed look, I suggest you keep you arms, legs, and pets to you at all times."
Demyx didn't laugh at that, for some reason Demyx took that seriously.
"Shit!." A voice interrupted, followed by a loud crash.
They all turned to look at a very pissed off looking Xenmas who held the coffee pot in the air comically, ready to slam it on the floor again.
"And that is Xenmas, our leader. He'll break an appliance a couple of times a day, so don't mind him." Axel turned to look at the glaring Xenmas who was sending the glare his way.
"I guess we should go." Axel said grabbing Demyx by his arm.
"Wait…" Demyx said being dragged.
"So what about you?" Axel said looking over at the blond who was trying to push is hair out of his eyes.
"Whatta ya mean?" Demyx asked looking back at Axel.
"We'll we each have our special gifts you know.' Axel stated.
"Yeah, Xenmas told me, you do fire right?" Demyx asked as they walked down the white hallway.
"Yup." With a flick of his wrist, his chakrams were in his hand and he was spinning them to and fro. "What about you.
Demyx stopped in mid walk, and with a thought a long slender device was placed in his hands. Pulling on the stings water began to form around him.
"Hey, not so close." He heard Axel state. Demyx hadn't noticed when he closed his eyes. When he open them, He noticed a water form that looked exactly like in standing a few inches away from the water mange.
"Sorry." Demyx said sheepishly making his instrument disappear, and making the liquid form of himself come crashing down onto the white floor.
"Cool though, the whole water clone thing." Axel stated also making his chakrams disappear.
"So I get the feeling you get into trouble, a lot." Demyx stated with a smile.
"I try." Axel stated honestly. "Their too easy to mess with, I guess my other self was just a problematic. What can I say, some habits are just hard to break, whether you have a heart or not."
"Do you really think that?" Demyx asked quietly.
"Not sure, but I guess it doesn't make a difference. I don't think me having a heart or not is going to change who I am." Axel stated turning the corner.
"So why are you here?" Demyx asked. "Isn't this organization suppose give you back your heart?'
"Maybe I'm wrong about me not being a different person, there's no harm in trying." Axel shrugged turning to look at Demyx.
Axel quickly noticed something running back and forth across Demyx lips. He stepped closer to Demyx to look at it. Before he knew his face was a few inches away from Demyx's mouth.
"What's that?" Axel asked curiously.
"What's what?" Demyx asked, that's when Axel saw it again.
"You have you tongue pierced?" Axel asked still looking at Demyx lips.
"Yeah.' Demyx stated blush spreading across his cheeks. "My old self had it, I guess, I want it just to remind myself, who I used to be."
"Same with these." Axel said pointing to the tears under his eyes.
"So what do you do for fun around here?" Demyx asked, with a mischievous.
"Not much."
"Maybe that's why your always getting into trouble.' Demyx laughed, pushing his hair out of his eyes.
Axel just stared at him for a minute, looking at the blond hair fall back down into his face, covering one of his clear blue eyes.
"Maybe your right, but now I have someone to get in trouble with me." Axel grabbed Demyx by the arm and dragged him along.
Something wasn't right. He looked at the blue Popsicle with curiosity. I can change the ingredients so many times. He was getting aggravated, he's been at this for hours and he still didn't know the mystery behind the sea-salt Popsicle.
He broke down everything in the Popsicle, but he didn't understand way this Popsicle would trigger childhood memories, he just didn't understand it. Maybe if he made his own, he would get to the bottom of it.
"Hey, where are we going?" Demyx asked be pushed down some steps.
"Vexen always in his lab, maybe he can give us a couple of things we could use." Axel smirked.
"Things for what?" Demyx asked finally being pushed through a door and into a medium size lab.
He looked around and immediately noticed the tubes and colored chemical all over the place. The he notice stick and wrappers in a huge pile.
"Who is Vexen, and what exactly does he do?" Demyx asked, concerned.
"He's the resident scientist, and he's probably experimenting on something." Axel looked around. "Wonder where he is?"
"He's said he mad a break through, and was going to celebrate by catching some sleep." Demyx stated looking down at the desk in the corner.
"And how do you know that?" Axel asked moving toward the blond, who was bent over reading something.
"Definitely has a nice ass." Axel stated to himself.
Axel found himself staring at the gorgeous blond. Nice slightly built lean body, great hair, beautiful blue eyes, and that ass… wow.
"We'll he left a note." Demyx said picking up the paper and showing it to Axel.
"What?" Axel asked confused, having mo idea what the blond had said to him.
"I said he left a note." The bond looked over at him curiously.
"What's the note say?" Axel asked looking around the desk.
"Made a break through, going to celebrate by catching some sleep." Demy stated, handing the note over to Axel.
"Typical, Vexen." Axel said moving back to the chemicals in the room.
"Wonder what his break through was?" Demyx asked.
"Who knows with Vexen, it could be anything." Axel stated. " Come here." Axel stated to Demyx.
Looking at the desk one more time he walked over to the stool and sat down.
"What?" Demyx asked.
"Nothing your were just so far, I wanted you to come closer." Axel stated leaning over the sitting blond.
Demyx was above to push the hair out of his face to say something, but Axel's pale hand had beat him to it. He lightly pushed the blond hair back, and smiled feeling how soft it was.
Demyx froze feeling Axel's touch. Sensing the teen tense under his had, he pulled it back and blushed.
"Sorry." Axel stated.
"So… what exactly are we doing here?" Demyx asked.
"We'll, I'm actually here for some pictures." Axel said grinning.
"Of what?"
"Of who, you mean?" Axel began to chuckle. "But I guess we have to wait till Vexen comes back." Axel got up and walked over to a small fridge.
"Since when did Vex, get a fridge?" Axel asked out loud.
Opening it up he saw a couple of Popsicles stacked up on top of each other. He pulled one out, and put it on the desk. "Want one?" Axel asked the smiling Demyx who was messing with his hair again.
"Um, yeah I love ice cream." Demyx answered.
Not paying attention to what he was doing, Axel had reached back into the fridge his eyes never leaving Demyx who was licking his lips in anticipation of the Popsicle. Feeling around for one he grabbed it. What he hadn't noticed was that the one he had grabbed had been sitting in a corner by itself in the fridge.
"You can have that one." Axel pointed to the one on the desk.
"Thanks." Demyx grabbed the Popsicle and opened it. It was a light blue color.
He gave it a quick lick, tongue ring showing itself, then smiled at Axel.
"Sweat and salty, all at once." Demyx stated.
Axel just sat there looking at him and swallowed hard.
"Aren't you gonna eat yours?" Demyx asked pointing to the Popsicle in Axel's hand.
"Yeah, I just…um." Axel just open it and looked down at the popsicle. It was a purple color.
"Oh, that's not fair." Demyx whined.
"What?" Axel asked confused.
"You have grape flavored, I love grape." Axel looked at Axel with huge blue eyes.
"You want it?" Axel asked waving the purple treat in the hair.
Demyx nodded eagerly.
"What do I get if I give it to you?" Axel asked slyly.
Demyx just lifted up the blue popsicle he was eating.
"You already licked it." Axel pointed out.
"Please." Demyx said simply.
Axel was about to lift the treat to his mouth, when he noticed Demyx had leaned closer.
"Pleeassse." Demyx said again, licking his lips, and giving Axel a view of his "fuck you" on his piercing.
Axel chuckled at that. "fuck you too." Axel stated handing over the treat.
Demyx smiled, and blushed at the same time, handing over the sea-salt popsicle to Axel.
"Thank you." Demyx said softly, popping the treat into his mouth. Licking it and savoring it, the tip of his tongue coming out to swipe the tip of the Popsicle, tongue ring rubbing against it too.
Axel still just stared.
"I have to go to the bathroom, be right back." Axel said getting up.
"Hmmm," Demyx said around the Popsicle, Axel just tripped out of the room.
"Hey Demyx?" Axel walked into the room, and stopped when there was no sign of Demyx.
"Where'd he go?" Axel asked out loud into the room. Axel glanced around again and saw nothing. "Maybe he went back up stairs." Axel turned, but stopped when he heard a noise.
Walking slowly behind the desk, he saw a pile of cloths, Demyx cloths to be exact. A small lump moved under, the white polo Demyx had been wearing. Lifting it carefully, he was at a lost for words.
Sitting there in a pile of his own cloths, sat Demyx. Chubby cheeks, light blond hair, and huge clear blue eyes.
