I decided to add more to this fanfic! In this chapter Axel and Demyx are out getting coffee when Axel runs into his ex girlfriend who isn't a gay rights supporter...This could change something in the guys' relationship.

"Two caramel Frappe's please." Axel said, placing the order.

"Ooh, Axel! Can I have extra cream in mine?" Like Demyx actually needed any more sugar . . .

"And one with extra cream."

"Alright guys. Your order is number eighteen. It'll be ready soon." Xigbar said.

Demyx jumped happily. After calming himself, he asked, "Can I choose our booth?"

"Sure, why not."

He wandered around the café for a while. Every minute or so he paused and examined each booth. He slid a finger across the table to make sure it was clean, poked each leather seat to find out how stuffed and comfy it was, and then there was the matter of getting a booth next to a window . . . but he finally settled on a booth with red leather seats that were just soft enough, and right next to the window with a lovely view of the ocean.

"Wow, Dem. The view is amazing. You picked a good one!" Axel slid into the seat across from him.

Demyx smiled one of his adorable grins. "Only the best for my Axel!"

The red's face melted into the sweet, slightly blushy expression that was hard to come by.

"Number eighteen!"

"I'll get it," said Demyx.

"No don't worry your pretty head about it. I'll take care of it. Got it memorized?"

He nodded while Axel proceeded to fetch their coffee.

He loved going on dates with Axel. This guy was simply amazing. He was such a sweetie to him. While most people past the young musician mumbling insults like 'idiot' or ' dumbass' Axel saw who he really was. He hoped that their relationship could last forever . . .

.~*~*~.

"Axel? Is that you?"

Axel, with both Frappes in his hands, turned around to see who the voice belonged to. He saw the girl–the pale girl with the dark red hair and big, deep, blue eyes. Kairi, and ex from the past. She was the last girl he had been serious about before finding Demyx.

"Kairi?"

"Yeah, it's me!" Kairi wound her arms around him. "Are you here with someone?"

"Well, yeah. I was just getting our Frappes."

"OMG. I was just picking up my order too! We should definitely sit together."

"Uh, ok. I'm just sitting over there." Axel pointed to Demyx's booth.

"Ok. Sora and I were just a few booths down, so we'll come to your booth!"

Axel walked back his booth and took his seat. As Demyx sipped his coffee, he noticed the worried expression on his companion's face.

"Ax, what's wrong?"

He sighed. "My ex-girlfriend Kairi's here. She and her boyfriend are coming to sit with us."

"Oh, how nice! You haven't seen her in like, two years and you guys were tight right?"

"Yeah we're still pretty close. I call her every once in a while but its not like we used to be."

"Well that's okay. Sitting together will be fun!"

He loved how positive Demyx could be. There was never a rain cloud on his day when he was with him.

"Maybe it'll be nice, but I haven't told her about you, and she isn't a gay supporter." He slumped down and closed his eyes. He felt a warm touch caressing his hand.

He looked up and met Demyx's heart-stopping green eyed gaze. "Don't sweat it. If she's really your friend she'll understand your choices. If it turns out she's not truly a friend then that's her loss because I think you're great."

He felt sudden rush of love for his friend.

Kairi soon arrived at the table with a grinning, spiky-haired brunette in tow.

"Axel, this is my boyfriend Sora. Who's your friend?"

This was the moment. He could come out to her, or lie and tell her they were "just friends". He bit down on his tongue until he could taste blood. What should he say?

"This is Demyx. We're . . . very close."

Sora just sat there with that same goofy grin on his face. Kairi on the other hand appeared to have detected his lie.

"So how did you meet Sora?" he asked to break the tension.

"Sora, why don't you tell him?" She smiled at her boyfriend.

"Kai and I met at a Muse concert. They were playing the song 'Hysteria' and I heard Kai singing along. We just kind of looked at each other and started talking after it was over." Sora kissed her nose. "I love my Kai-Kai."

I love my Dem-Dem, thought Axel. He promised himself that later tonight he would kiss Demyx's nose.

Demyx reached under the table and touched Axel's hand. He glanced over quickly and gave him a quick smile. When Axel looked back to Kairi she appeared to have a half glare, half smile on her face. It was the oddest expression he had ever seen.

"Sora, Demyx, would you mind if I talked to Axel in private?"

"Go ahead." they said simultaneously.

She snatched his wrist and yanked him from his seat. She pulled him behind a large plant. "You're gay!"

"Technically I'm bi."

"Axel!" She punched his shoulder. "That's gross! How did this happen?"

"We met at this coffee shop and wound up sitting together. Turns out we shared at lot of interests, and I sorta thought the way he smiled was positively adorable . . ."

"Ew! Stop!"

"I don't see the big deal here. I'm bi. So what?"

"It. Is. Wrong."

"Feels right to me."

"It goes against your religion. Or have you decided to stop being a Christian?"

"No, I'm still a believer, I–"

"Axel, this isn't right. Man and man together, it's just not natural. You need to break up with Demyx and find a woman to be in your life. I can hook you up with my cousin Namine. She's–"

"Kairi, I've made my decision, and I really care about Demyx. Got it memorized?"

"Just give what I said some thought. I'm going to go now."

The two red heads returned to the table. Demyx and Sora appeared to be immersed in conversation when Kairi and Axel slid into the booth.

"It's been so nice seeing you again, Axel. Two years can really change a person. It was nice meeting you Demyx, but Sora and I better get to the movies. We don't want to be late!"

"Kairi, we just came from the–"

"Come on Sora!"

"It was nice getting to know you, Demyx. See you later." said Sora.

The couple left the same way they had come; Kairi pulling Sora around by his wrist.

"Odd couple, aren't they?"

"Yeah, sure are."

"Sora seems nice. We were just talking about music. He's forming a band and he needs a lead guitarist, so I told him about how I play both Sitar and guitar. He told me to give him a call if I want to audition! Isn't that great?"

"Sure Demyx."

"You okay Ax?"

"Fine."

A moment of awkward silence passed.

"So how come you didn't tell her and Sora about us being together?"

"I already told you she doesn't support gay rights."

"Well yeah, but that shouldn't stop you."

"You're right. I should've just come out and told her. I'm sorry Dem." He placed his hand on Demyx's chin and kissed his nose.

It felt right being with Demyx . . . but what if Kairi was right? What if being with him was wrong?
