Oh my! It's been so long since I've updated! I'm so sorry!

Axel frowned as he leaned up against the bar. He used the cold drink glass to mop up the beads of sweat that bloomed from the pores in his forehead. The booming music and grinding all around should've made him feel at home. I mean, it always did when he was running from an issue. Alcohol and one night stands=Axel's favorite medicine.

But tonight it just didn't…Odd really…

"Hey there." A female voice said from behind him. "Buy you a drink?"

He turned around to see a woman, probably just turned twenty one, maybe not even, (this club had a history of simply not caring about age…) smiling slyly as she applied a fresh layer of crimson lip gloss. The brunette sitting next to her winked at Axel, before standing up from her bar stool and disappeared into the crowd.

"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" He sighed and placed the glass on the bar. The giggled a bit exaggeratedly and twirled a lock of braided and beaded blonde hair on a slim index finger.

"Well maybe I just don't like following the rules." She bit her lip seductively and grinned, revealing a row of perfectly straight, white teeth. Axel couldn't help but smirk at her persistence. "So, what brings you to 'The Enix'?"

"Just running from my problems. That's the only reason why I ever come to this trashy place." He rolled his eyes.

"I did too. I'm newly single…" She trailed off, putting a little bit of emphasis on her last statement.

"Yeah? Same." The red head didn't sound a bit too happy about his end of the conversation, but when she grinned widely and grabbed his hand, he allowed himself to be led onto the dance floor.

He was suddenly in a sea of sweaty limbs, being involuntarily groped with every step he took and move he made. He was home. But as the pair began to dance, he couldn't help himself to look over the crowd of, mostly shorter, club goers. He wanted to see that endearingly familiar tousle of blonde half mohawk half mullet. But he didn't, although he thought he did on more than one occasion.

All of the sudden it was too hot in the building. The flailing bodies were slamming into him a little too forcefully. The colored strobes flashing too fast. And he didn't object when he felt a lean hang close around his wrist and began to lead him slowly through the mosh.

The cool, outdoor air was a relief, even though it was filled with pot smoke and hookers and the smell of sex.

"It was getting a little too crazy in there." She breathed in his ear leaning against his much taller figure. He just nodded looking down at her cat like grin. He needed to try something.

He pushed her up against the brisk of the building and pressed his lips forcefully against hers and he felt her smirk under his mouth. She willingly opened her mouth and Axel had to try extremely hard to stop himself from gagging into her open mouth. Her lip gloss was too sticky against his lips and tongue and teeth and her tongue tasted like artificial cherries, (the flavor of her gloss). And her acrylic false nails felt like they were attempting to claw his skin off as they dug into his scalp.

Shuddering a bit to himself, he pushed her away against the wall. She leaned back and licked her lips, smiling as Axel, she advanced towards him, only to be shot down by his extended hands.

"I'm gay." He announced softly, mostly to himself as he realized it himself.

"Excuse me?!" Her mouth dropped open and her jaw locked angrily. "What did you just say?!"

"I'm gay…Oh my God I'm gay!" He shouted out loud, earning a few looks from passerbys. "Demyx…" He muttered, beginning to bite a pinky nail. "Oh my God Demyx!" He didn't pay any attention to the girl all left alone where he was previously standing as he ran in the direction of a hailed taxi cab.

~0~

"Demyx! Demyx open up I need to talk to you!" He banged on the door of apartment 9, almost hitting the tenant in the face as the door was opened.

"What do you want?" Demyx sighed quietly. The door was open only partway; the width of Demyx's head just about.

"Demyx! I'm gay."

"Haha very funny. Goodbye, Axel." The taller man shoved his foot into the doorway before the door could be shut.

"Demyx I'm serious. Please, just hear me out." Axel pleaded, but smiling a bit to himself as he was allowed in. But he frowned to himself as he looked around him. There were cardboard boxes and bubble wrap everywhere he looked, barely anything else. "Dem, are you moving?"

"I figured that since this place has nothing here for me, I decided I'd go back to Hollow Bastion. I could move back in with my parents…"

"Dem, this place has me. You don't need to move back with your parents. Stay here with me. Me and no-one else."

"Axel…" The blonde turned away, gripping his torso with his arms. "I…I just can't do this anymore. You're whole bipolar thing you've got goin' on is killing me Ax, it's killing me."

"I promise not to act like that anymore, Demyx just stay here." "Suddenly realizing that you're gay and then telling me you'll change isn't exactly reassuring."

"Then let me show you've I've changed. And I can only do that if you promise to stay."

He turned the blonde around to face him and stared into his favorite eyes in the world, before he pulled him close to his chest. He felt salty tears begin to stain his thin shirt and he rested his chin on top of the younger man's head, feeling the sandy blonde locks tickle his nose. He pressed his nose to the crown of Dem's head and breathed in the salty sea air that seemed to just radiate off of him, even though he probably hadn't been to a beach in weeks.

"Please." He mumbled into the mullet. That single word wasn't a question or a plead. It was more of a statement.

He couldn't even explain how relieved her felt when that statement caused the man to nod into Axel's chest, causing the red head to smile. His venom green eyes half lidded themselves in contentment at the situation. Axel kissed Demyx on the head gently and smiled when he felt Demyx kiss him on the chest.

"I will."
