I believe it had been a while yes? But here's my chapter! x3 Ashley


Axel smirked as he leaned against his car, waiting for his boyfriend. It felt nice to say. Nice to think. Kind of strange, but nice nonetheless. Demyx emerged from his apartment and waved energetically at the red head.

"Ready for your big debut?" Axel asked and gently poked the blonde's side. Demyx blushed and nodded slightly.

"I'm kind of nervous." Demyx admitted with a shrug and Axel chuckled.

"You'll do great." Axel reassured as he leaned forward and gently kissed Demyx's cheek. The musician smiled as he sat down in the car and watched Axel walk around to the front.

"And now! I am very proud to present Demyx!" Larxene smiled uncharacteristically at the crowd as they all clapped and hollered for Demyx. The coffee house was packed to the brim for him. He smiled coyly at the audience as he sat on the stool with his guitar slung over his shoulder.

"Hi guys. Thanks for coming out to see me." Demyx said shyly into the mic and everyone erupted again. He giggled lightly as he positioned his instrument.

Axel watched Demyx with a smile as the blonde started to strum his guitar. Demyx looked up and was caught by the redheads gaze, only to smile coyly and look back down at his instrument with a blush slowly crawling across his face.

"He's pretty good." Larxene said smoothly as she slid across the bar closer to Axel. He simply smiled and rolled his eyes.

"And so cute!" Xion gushed as she leaned over her brother's shoulder. "You're so lucky Ax." The raven haired girl cooed as she patted Axel's face.

"Oh shut up." Axel said quietly though he couldn't help but smile and look over at the blonde on the stage. Demyx finished out his song and everyone clapped wildly. He looked down shyly and laughed lightly. "YEA!!" Axel screamed and slapped his hands together like mad.

"Axel? Axel! What are you doing here?" Everyone turned quickly to see the source of the whiny voice, and to their horror, they saw the tiny ginger devil herself. Kairi. She stood before them into a very mini pink skirt and a white tank top cut well above her stomach, exposing her seemingly newly tanned skin and attached to her was a boy. A short boy with spiked brown hair and an idiotic grin on his face. And to Axel's personal horror, he was feeling attracted to the whore.

"He works here dumb ass." Larxene hissed, earning an icy glare from Kairi.

"Well, I know that. I just..." Kairi trailed off and covered it up with a silly giggle. Axel watched her with wide eyes and then forced his gaze back at the stage. Back where his boyfriend was playing. But he wished he hadn't looked, because now all he could see was Demyx looking on with sadness and worry as he tried to finish out his song without bursting into tears. "I wanted to come see you Axel." Kairi said with a smile as she let go of the other boys hand and walked towards Axel who was still trying to keep his gaze fixed on the musician from apartment 9. "Axel are you ready to come back to me yet?" Kairi asked in a bored tone and now the lanky red headed male just couldn't keep looking at Demyx.

"What?"

"Come on. I'm over this stupid fight. And I'm definitely over you pretending to be a fucking faggot to spite me or something." Kairi's hand lingered on Axel's thigh as she scooted her chair closer to his. Axel looked between her to Demyx to her to the boy and back to Demyx.

"Kairi. You're here with another guy and you're trying to get back with me. What kind of stupid bitch are you?" Axel pushed her hand off of him and stood up, refocusing on Demyx. Kairi's head could have exploded at this point. She glared at Axel and then Demyx. She whipped around to face the brunette who was making pleasant small talk with Zexion and Xion, something that wasn't exactly easy to do.

"SORA!" She screeched and he looked at her with wide eyes. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"...talking?" Sora looked unsurely between Kairi and Zexion who simply rolled his eyes and picked up his coffee.

"We're leaving!" Kairi yelled and Sora sighed.

"Yea, alright." He mumbled and followed her towards the door. "Bye." Sora waved happily at Zexion who smiled and nodded in return.

"What was all that?" Axel asked as he walked back over, having seen Kairi rush out of the shop.

"What?" Zexion asked indifferently and Axel rolled his eyes.

"With the crazy bitch and that idiot?"

"He wasn't an idiot." Zexion replied, earning looks from everyone around him. "What?" He hissed and Xion chuckled. "Besides, he won't be with her long." Zexion changed the subject as he took a sip of his coffee.

"What do you mean?" Larxene leaned down onto the counter and smiled eagerly.

"He's gay. He just doesn't know it yet."

"What?!"

"He's gay. He was talking about how cute Demyx is and how lucky Axel is."

"And then he said you have nice eyes." Xion teased as she ruffled her brother's hair, making him smack her hand away.

"Really." Larxene gushed and leaned closer to Zexion who merely pushed her face away.

"This is beside the point. Sora likes boys and sooner or later it will come out."

"That redheaded bitch sure knows how to pick 'em." Larxene stood back up straight and grabbed a cup from the back shelf. "Two gay guys in a row."

"I'm not gay Larxene." Axel murmured and everyone turned towards him. "What?! I'm not!!"

"We're back to this again?" Axel looked down at his hands but then back at Demyx.

~0~

"How was I?!" Demyx asked excitedly as he walked towards Axel's car waiting in the parking lot.

"You were great." Axel said with a small smile before opening his own door and sitting down in the driver's seat. Demyx tilted his head to the side momentarily before opening his door.

"So you liked it then?" Demyx felt slightly nervous now. What had Kairi said that had seemed to change Axel so drastically from earlier?

"Yea...you were...great." Axel nodded lightly before he took off down the street. Demyx watched him in silence the entire ride back to the apartments. Finally, after what seemed an eternity, Axel parked. He sighed and leaned back into his seat, covering his eyes with his fist.

"Are you ok?" Demyx asked as he laid his hand down on the redheads leg. Axel's head shot up and looked at the hand touching him.

"I'm fine." He looked at Demyx and tried to smile. Demyx merely nodded and took his hand back, laying it on his own leg. The musician pondered for a moment then grinned as he leaned over the seat divider.

"Do you wanna come back to my apartment tonight?" He asked as he let his fingers move through the fiery locks of hair. Axel shuddered beneath his touch and he couldn't tell if it was good or bad.

"Uh...no...I don't--"

"Come on. Please?" Demyx whispered and gently pressed his lips against Axel's neck. His hand traveled through the red hair, down the nape of Axel's neck, over his back and finally to the edge of his tee shirt. His hand lingered at the bottom before starting to climb under.

"No!" Axel cried out and opened his door, jumping out like a maniac. Demyx looked at him with shock, still sitting in the car. He blinked, cleared his throat, regained his composure and got out of the car as well. Axel watched the blonde with sad eyes. "Dem..."

"No uh it's ok...I should just go home anyways? I guess..."

"Demyx I don't think I can do this."

"Do what?"

"Dem, I'm not gay. I can't go out with you, I can't have sex with you, I can't...like you. Like that! I'm not gay!" Axel tried to be kind. But it was hard. He didn't know how to say this without being...mean.

"Oh." Demyx tried to be strong. He tried to just blow it off like it didn't matter. But it did. He liked Axel. A lot. And he had known he wasn't gay! Why had he tried to push this? "I'm gonna go...home."

"Demyx." Axel outstretched his hand, reaching for Demyx's wrist as he turned away. He hated what he saw when he did though. Demyx's teary eyes, his quivering bottom lip but he tried to smile.

"I'm ok! I've just gotta uh..." He choked on a sob. "I'm sorry." Demyx laughed lightly and wiped his eyes. "I don't know what's going on! I think I'm homesick." He nodded, trying to convince himself.

"Demyx!" Axel called when Demyx walked away, but the blonde merely raised his hand in a excusing wave. The red head sighed and rubbed his eyes. "I'm not...gay..."
