'Twilight Thorn'

Chp. 9

"Glad to see you are capable of…moving…" Xemnas raised and eyebrow at Axel's sheepish smile.

Demyx laughed and patted the red head. "Yeah he recuperates fast."

Xemnas nodded slowly, eyeing the small group before clearing his throat. At the sound, the blue haired man from the night before, Roxas recognized him from Sora's explanation, walked up to them. Xemnas grabbed the collar around the older male's neck, bringing the two closely together.

"Saix…be a good boy and get us some drinks." The silver haired male paused and smirked at Axel. "Something non-alcoholic if you don't mind…." Saix smirked and nodded, straightening himself after Xemnas released him and sauntered off. "As I was saying, last night, Riku came up to me and offered me…viable…entertainment." The tips of his fingers me as he pointed to Axel. "That, I'm assuming, would be you correct?" Axel nodded slightly.

Xemnas nodded and leaned back in his chair, looking up and nodding as Saix brought in their drinks. "I listened to you. Not bad. Seems Diz hasn't lost all his taste." Axel frowned slightly. He happened to like the old guy. "Anyway, this place has quickly gained popularity so I think I'm right in thinking that if you were to play here…you would gain publicity."

Xemnas smirked slightly. "And if that were to happen, then I would gain even more customers."

Roxas snorted and covered his mouth, ducking behind Axel as Xemnas eyed him. Demyx giggled as Roxas rolled his eyes from his hiding spot, grinning as Zexion elbowed him. Axel looked serious enough for a few minutes but he slowly cracked as Roxas and Demyx continued to laugh quietly behind him. He laughed loudly and bent forward, knocking Roxas sideways and sending the four of them into a small fit.

Xemnas rose his eyebrows and leaned back in his chair again, watching the giddy teens for a few minutes. Zexion chuckled and slowly calmed the other boys down, shaking his head as Axel smirked and ran a hand through his hair. "Sorry 'bout that."

Xemnas smirked and shook his head. "It's quite alright…as I was saying. How long do you think it will take to make some songs to play here?"

Axel grinned cockily and shrugged. "A week tops."

Zexion snorted loudly this time, choking on his drink. "With the way you procrastinate? Yeah right." He looked at the oldest male in the room and smiled. "Probably a few weeks, depending on how easy it comes."

Xemnas nodded, both the males ignoring the pouting Axel who was trying to get Roxas to cheer him up. Roxas chuckled and nudged he redhead aside as Xemnas stood. The little blonde shoved Axel into a standing position and the two males looked each other over.

Xemnas smiled slightly and stuck his hand out. Axel grinned widely and shook the older man's hand enthusiastically. "Luxord will show you the contract then."

Axel nodded and grabbed Roxas' hand, dragging the boy into the main part of the club. Zexion sighed and thanked Xemnas as Demyx gently tugged him out of the room.

The short haired blonde was lounging at a table, playing a game of solitaire. As the four boys approached, he smiled slightly and put his cards away, shaking their hands and greeting them with a slight British accent.

" 'Ello. You must be the boys from the band 'ol Xemmy was talking about." The group nodded and the man smiled before sitting down, propping a small pair of glasses on his nose. "Alright chaps, if you would please sign here."

"This is…by far…the best week EVER"

Roxas laughed as Axel skipped out past Lexaeus, who blinked, and bounced onto the sidewalk. Demyx grinned and hung of Zexion's shoulders.

"We should celebrate!" Axel exclaimed loudly before turning to march back into the club.

"No Way Axel." Roxas growled as he grabbed the redhead's shirt collar. Axel whined and made clawing motions towards the building before slumping. "You aren't running off again."

Demyx nodded. "Besides, we should go tell Mar-mar!"

Axel blinked and nodded, throwing Roxas over his shoulder as the group made their way down the street. "Right. To the Band Cave!"

Roxas laughed quietly and beat Axel's back lightly, looking helplessly at Demyx and Zexion who grinned and shook their heads.

"What!?" echoed four voices through the quiet room. The pink haired drummer shrugged slightly and avoided eye contact with anyone.

"Sorry about the short notice and all…" Marluxia fidgeted slightly underneath their stares.

"Mar…you…you can't leave!" Demyx looked close to tears as he clung to Zexion's arm.

"Yeah! We've been together forever …and we just got a record deal and everything!" Axel added with his hands in the air. The oldest teen looked away and shrugged uncomfortably.

"I heard…congratulations."

"But …you're name's on the contr-"

"No…Vexen made sure to leave my name out…"

Roxas looked at the floor and whispered "Why?"

Marluxia blinked and looked at the small blonde before sighing. "Opportunity calls Rox."

Roxas cringed slightly and turned his head. Zexion merely stared with hard eyes as the pink haired males gaze turned to him. "So…you're ditching your friends for a guy you just met."

Marluxia glared slightly. "It's not like that Zex. I've known him for awhile…"

Zexion's stare turned to anger as he attempted to rise from his chair. Demyx's eyes widened slightly and he held the short teens arm tighter. "Not as long as you've known us Mar. You could at least stay with us until you get to know him better!"

"I don't seem why I should have to explain myself!" Marluxia hissed back.

Demyx bit his lip and squeezed Zexion's hand as the 'Emo' tensed. "I'll be out of here by tomorrow night." Marluxia huffed as he stormed from the room.

The room was quiet for a few seconds before the front door slammed shut. Demyx cried out quietly as Zexion threw himself from the chair and stalked to his and Demyx's room, also slamming the door shut.

Axel patted the guitarists shoulder as he led a dejected Roxas to their room, leaving the lanky blonde by himself.

"Zexy?" Zexion lifted his eyes from the wall he was glaring holes through as Demyx poked his head into the room and slunk over to him. "You ok?"

Zexion shrugged and hardened his glare, softening it as Demyx crawled into his lap.

"Don't worry about Marluxia Dem." Zexion grit out quietly.

Demyx nodded against his chest and sighed heavily. "We should be happy he found someone…" Demyx mumbled.

Zexion brought his arms up to wrap around Demyx's shoulders loosely. "Yeah…I guess we should…"
