A week had past. Eventually, everyone in the castle heard about what happened to Zexion and avoided Marluxia like he was the black plague. Proof of the incident was all over Zexion's skin. The only person that didn't feel sorry for him was Larxene, and Marluxia of course. But then again, those two always got amusement out of other people's pain.
Zexion, currently, was sitting at the desk in his room reading. Every once in a while, he'd reach up and finger the stitches across his throat. He cringed at the thought of Vexen sewing his wounds shut, and at the thought of taking them out. If they hurt going in, they'll hurt coming out, he said lightly touching the crisscrossed stitches. He flipped a page in his book and leaned back in his chair, staring at the words.
The sound of the black portal opening reach Zexion's ears and he tensed up, not turning around. The smell of strawberries and salt water filled the room and he relaxed. He turned around to see Demyx appearing out of a portal, grinning at him. "What, did you think I was Marluxia or something...never mind that isn't very funny. What's up?"
"Nothing really. I've been sitting in here all day pretty much," Zexion said as Demyx sat on the end of his bed.
"Hey, you sound a lot better."
"Yeah, I feel better. The stitches aren't as tight today." He touched the threads across his throat.
"Well, that's good." Demyx looked at the floor. "I'm really sorry Zexion."
"How many times do I have to tell you, it's not your fault. Marluxia and Xigbar are just fucked up bastards. Not our fault they like to mess around with true love." He smiled at Demyx, tossing his slate colored bangs out of his eyes.
"I know, I just feel guilty. I mean, if I had been in- mmm!" He was cut off by Zexion pressing his lips against Demyx's.
He broke the kiss. "You talk too much." He smiled and kissed him again.
"So, what exactly is this meeting about?" Axel questioned leaning back in his chair. He, Larxene, Marluxia, Lexaeus, Vexen, and Xemnas were sitting around a round white table in the audience chamber in the Castle That Never Was.
"Our new headquarters," Xemnas replied simply. "Has anyone seen Number VI? I want everyone I asked for present before I begin."
"Zexy? Who knows," Larxene said shrugging.
"Well, thanks to Number XI," Xemnas said glaring at Marluxia, "He's probably afraid to get any where near anyone."
"I said I was sorry!" Marluxia said scowling. "Geez, it's not like I killed him or anything. I just played with him."
"But you about did. One of your superiors..." Xemnas looked at him. Marluxia shrugged and propped his head up with his hand. Xemnas sighed. "Number VIII, go find Number VI."
Axel sighed and stood, disappearing through a black portal of darkness.
Demyx had climbed on top of Zexion, kissing him passionately, running his tongue over his tongue. Zexion groaned, wrapping his arms around Demyx's neck, buckling his hips upward. Demyx smiled and unzipped the other's cloak, running his hands over the Schemer's bare chest. Zexion unzipped Demyx's cloak and unbuttoned his black jeans. The Nocturne's lips trailed down Zexion's neck, nipping lightly at his flesh, kissing the stitches ever so gently.
A portal suddenly appeared and Axel stepped out of it. The two jumped at the noise, letting out a yelp. Zexion winced and pressed a hand to his throat. "Well this is awkward," the pyro said smirking, seeing the position the two boys were in. They looked at each other, blushing. Demyx slowly got off of Zexion and sat on the edge of the bed.
"What do you want Number VIII?" Zexion asked sitting up.
"Glad you finally got your voice back...Meeting? Did you forget? Xemnas sent me up here to get you."
"Shit. I'll be down in a minute."
"You better be." Axel vanished in a portal.
Zexion sighed. "I better go...as much as I hate to."
Demyx threw his arms around the other man. "You're not going anywhere!"
Zexion smiled slightly and said, "Let go of me Demyx. I have a feeling I should attended this meeting."
Demyx sighed heavily and loosened his grip so the slate haired man could stand. Zexion gave him a quick kiss on the lips before vanishing in a black portal.
