Chapter 8

A Challenge Is Issued

Almost every weekend if they didn't have to much homework, they would go out to escape the stifling dorm rooms. They'd either go to the movies, or a book store, or simply walk around, but no matter the situation they would always go to the local sweet shop 'Micky's N Chii's Sweets'. The place was simply designed but comfortably with there nice waitresses and waiters,on nicer days you had a choice to eat inside the store or outside under the veranda, which is were they were seated.

Marluxia watched Demyx as he bite in to his cream filled pastry and looked through the new book he had bought, he had been trying all morning since Demyx had come out of his room, to get the blond to tell him where that bruise on his face had come from, but he keep avoiding the inquiries, which Marluxia thought had gone on long enough.

"Demy?"Asked Marluxia as he stirred the straw in the ice tea in front of him.

"Yes, Marluxia?"

"Who, hit you? You've been avoiding my questions, and don't bother lying your horrible at it."

Demyx looked down, and then he shut his book with a sigh.

"I haven't been avoiding it, I just don't want to talk about it...Axel..."

"Did Axel do that!?" Several people looked up at the outburst, one waitress looked like she was about to come over.

'He was, so going to kick Axel's ass!'

Marluxia had been noticing a while ago that Axel was more attentive to what Demyx did and where Marluxia's hands were. And then Demyx informed him that Axel began to show up to help on the project, which put less strain on Demyx, he wasn't so snappish any more. He'd been happy that the red head had finally gotten over his stubbornness and made a move. But if he was going to do this...

"What?! No Axel didn't do this, Axel's the one who saved me."

"Really?" '

"It's a long story." Demyx avoid eye contact again.

"I like long story's."

Under Marluxia's penetrating stare, Demyx finally broke down and told him everything that had happened.

"Sooo... the knight saved his damsel in distress?" A playful smirk spread on Marluxia's face.

'So progress was made.'

"Yes...What!!? No!" A blush spread across his face.

"Demy, did you know when you blush your ears turn red?"

All Demyx could do was sputter and blush even more. The day was filled with sweet pastries and teasing, and more blushes from Demyx.

That had been the other day, as usual they would meet in the morning for breakfast this time Marluxia had told Demyx to go on ahead, he couldn't find his math homework any where, he eventually found it under the bed for some odd reason.

When he had finally gotten to the cafeteria, he had a little surprise waiting for him.

Sitting right beside Demyx as if he belonged there all along was Axel, he had a horrified look on his face as he watch Demyx pack away his usual breakfast.

Smirking as he made his approached. " Hey Demy! And who's this?"

Axel scowled at him in response, while Demyx looked up cheerfully.

"Oh I haven't introduced you guys yet! Axel this is my best friend Marluxia."

Axel's scowl deepened.

"Marluxia, this is Axel."

"Its a pleasure to meet you Axel, Demy's told me sooo much about you."

A look of hope crossed Axel's face for a few seconds, looking at Demyx from the corner of his eye, who was to busy eating his food to notice what they were talking about.

The bell rang signaling the end of breakfast, which Demyx pouted about since he hadn't finished his pancakes. And for the first time they walked to class together, Demyx skipping on ahead still on his sugar high while they walked behind him, Malruxia slowed his stride down so he was next to Axel they walked in awkward silence, and Marluxia just couldn't resist.

"You know, he has these pair of tight jeans that have holes in all the right places." Marluxia watched Axel's reaction, and it was priceless. You could tell he was imaging the blond in them, and probably perverted thoughts to, by the light blush on his face, but he snapped out of it when he realized who told him this information and shot a hard glare at Marluxia.

"And you'd know, this how?"

'It speaks, was beginning to think he was mute.'

"I've been in his room, and he wears them around the dorm." More sly smirking was directed at the red head. Demyx only wore those pants when he cleaned, and some times he did wear them out of the dorm to do his laundry and some people did stare.

A look of horror crossed Axel's face, thinking of all the people who could possible have seen Demy in them.

'This was to fun..'

They had arrived at their first period class, Marluxia walked in before Axel, stopping in the doorway waiting for Demyx to get in is seat and turn his head to look at Axel.

"You better make a move soon Red, someone might snatch him up, and I'm not talking just about myself."

Axel stood in the hallway for a few more moments before entering the the class and promptly going up to where Demyx was sitting and glare at the boy sitting next to Demyx to his left and demanded that he move. The boy tried to protest at first until he saw who it was and promptly scurried off to a open desk. Demyx shot him a questioning look, and Marluxia just smirked.

'This way he could watch Marluxia better, and make sure no one else was checking out the blond.'

Fwee working on chapter 9 right now OwO not sure how I want to start it, Axel thinking dirty...? hmmm

Well I hope this chapter was at least a little amusing. Axel's becoming paranoid and Marluxia's having a little to much fun at Axel's expense. Poor poor Axel.
