Okay, so this is gonna turn out badly, I'm kinda running out of ideas for a new chapter. xD but, I'm gonna try!
Zexion stood there, by Marluxia's desk watching him angrily throw stuff into a box, smiling to himself. 'It serves him right!' he thought, as Marluxia glared at him, standing up, and pushing him out of the way. Zexion almost burst out laughing at him, as he stomped down the hallway. He smirked, sitting down at his desk to start sorting papers again, 'I wonder if Demyx is getting along with those two girls... They seemed nice, I hope Axel isn't being a prick to him... What if he is... Argh, got to get back to work, focus!' Zexion stared down at his pile of papers he was supposed to be sorting for his boss. 'Argh.. Why does Vexen make me do these things... I cant concentrate.' He picked up a piece of paper staring at it, it had scientific formulas, and concoctions all over it, 'Was this his work? What a nut-ball...' He snorted, putting it in the miscellaneous folder and continued sorting through the records. He'd been sorting for what seemed like hours when he finished. Staring at the buffed folders of miscellaneous and records, then sighed, smashing his head down on the desk. "Finally... Done..." He murmured, closing his eyes.
"Matsume! Are those folders done?!" Vexen came stomping up to the sleeping Zexion and shook his shoulder, Zexion sat upright and nodded quickly.
"Y-Yes sir!!!" He fumbled through the drawer pulling out two folders and handed them to the scientist, he opened the folders looking through them carefully and nodded appreciatively.
"Well done Zexion. I chose the right apprentice... You may leave for today." Zexion nodded, and stood up, grabbing his coat and ran to the door happily.
"And now I can go see Demyx!" He smiled talking to himself as he got into his car driving off to the studio.
As Zexion drove off, he couldn't help but smile 'And once I get there I can just drive home and catch up on Demyx. I want to know everything about him!' he thought, pulling into the almost vacant parking lot to the Art Studio. Before he could even step out into the warm sunlight, Demyx came running through the doors of the studio. "Zexion!" He yelled, Zexion, who was sitting in his car, his feet on the ground, stared confusedly as Demyx ran up to the car .
"Heyyy Demyx. Did you have a nice time? Was Axel nice?" Zexion asked, Demyx looked down, fumbling with his fingers.
"I didn't talk to him. Those two girls, Selphie and Kairi wouldn't let me go! They talked my ear off and I didn't get much painting done!" Demyx stomped his foot on the ground and looked back at the studio, where Selphie was looking right at Demyx, Kairi was staring at Zexion, a little twinkle in her eyes. Zexion scowled grabbing Demyx's hand.
"C'mon. Let's get Axel." He said, Demyx wouldn't budge, he was blushing.
"Err.. He went to the back with some blond boy he was talking with all class... I think his name is Roxy.. I don't think they're painting." He looked down at his shoes.
Zexion snorted and walked forward tugging Demy along. "All the better, let's go." He smiled, and Demyx laughed a little, his hand warming up in Zexion's slightly cold ones.
Demyx flung the doors open to the studio and quietly rushed, looking down, so Selphie and Kairi wouldn't notice them. Kairi noticed Zexion's blue hair and smiled skipping over to them, Zexion rushed forward to get away from her, but she clung onto his arm. "Hiya Zexy." Zexion's eye twitched and he stopped abruptly, before tearing his arm away from Kairi's grasp. "Get off." he ordered, Demyx covered his mouth laughing a little, but it was replaced with a glare as Selphie jumped onto his back.
"Argh Selphie get off!!!!" He yelled, she jumped down onto the floor staring up into Demyx's green orbs. "Sorry Dem-Dem." She said, both Zexion and Demyx flinched.
"Girls, we have to go find Axel alright? Bye." Zexion grabbed Demyx's arm running off into the other room, slamming the door and locking it. Both guys fell onto the floor in a heap and sighed. "I hate girls..." Demyx sighed staring at the floor. At this Zexion blushed a tiny bit looking at Demyx's turned face and smiled.
"Me too... Why I like guys." He caught his breath and looked away as Demyx's face turned up confusedly. "W-What?... You're gay?" Demyx's cheeks were flushed light red and he was staring into Zexion's hair.
"Y-Yea..." Zexion stuttered turning to meet Demyx's eyes.
Demyx smiled a little looking at the storage room doors. "Me too. Well, I think I'm bi. But I might be gay. I think Selphie made me gay." Zexion laughed and stood up, helping Demyx up.
The two looked at the door and Demyx skipped forward pressing an ear to the door, Zexion watched as the red spread from his nose all over his cheeks and to his ears. He backed up slowly staring wide-eyed at the door. Zexion tilted his head and pressed his ear against the door, looking around in confusion. "A-Axel!" a strained, light voice said softly, then a couple sighs and moans, then Axels voice rang out through the door, so that they didn't have to have their ears smashed against the door. "Roxas! I love you!" Axel was saying loudly, then something sounded like an easel falling over, Zexion pushed his ear against the door again, but Demyx knocked on it loudly.
The movement suddenly stopped and Axel's voice was heard. "Crap.. Uh.. Get dressed!" Demyx laughed a little at this and took some steps back. "Axel c'mon hurry up!" Zexion yelled, they heard shuffling again.
"A-Axel.. W-where's my shirt?" The boy asked, he sounded flustered. They heard more shuffling, and the door clicked open.
Axel stomped out looking at the ground. Zexion and Demyx were smirking slightly, but the smirk disappeared as a boy about 5'1" walked out meekly, his face was red, he had beautiful blond hair, and an angelic glow to him. He was staring at the ground shyly. "S-Sorry." He whispered and ran off, probably out of the studio.
Axel ran after him "Roxas wait!" He yelled, quickly catching up with the boy.
Zexion and Demyx exchanged glances. "He doesn't look more than 15." Demyx whispered, caught unawares by the short young boy, having a hot scene with a 26 year old.
Zexion nodded, watching Axel grab Roxas by the shoulders and hug him tightly, the boy wiggling around embarrassed of being caught in the storage closet by Axel's friends. He stopped squirming and hung limp in Axel's arms. He then hugged back nuzzling into Axel's chest. Demyx put a hand to his mouth, probably trying not to squeal at how cute that looked. Zexion smiled heartedly. Roxas glanced at them from under Axel's arms and blushed turning his head away. 'That poor boy, he's adorable! But he's so shy.. They look positively cute together!' Demyx thought, as Axel let go of Roxas, he was at least two feet taller, and he smiled. "Do you want me to walk you home?" He whispered softly.
Roxas nodded and looked down. Axel glanced at Zexion and Demyx, waving and turned, grabbing Roxas' hand. He unlocked and opened the door, stepping into the bright room smelling of acrylic paints and watercolors. "Alright everyone! Classes are dismissed for today! I'll see everyone 10 tomorrow!" He yelled, as everyone started packing up easels and paints, bringing them into the room Zexion and Demyx were standing silently in.
They glanced at each other again and ran forward to get into the main room before 10 people started to cram themselves into the tiny room. He caught Kairi's gaze, but rolled his eyes grabbing Demyx by the arm and dragging him across the now very large looking room, now that all the chairs and easels were gone. Demyx opened the door and sighed watching Roxas and Axel walking slowly down the sidewalk, Axel looking slightly concerned at the still blushing Roxas. "he must have anxiety issues.." he said absentmindedly.
Zexion nodded, but then looked up at Demyx, "Let's go back to my house, I still have a lot to catch up on about you." He said, walking to his car and opening the door.
Demyx smiled getting in the passengers side buckling up his seat-belt, and glancing at Zexion who was starting the car. They drove again in silence, Zexion pushing a couple miles over the speed limit. They reached Zexion's house in minutes, Demyx got out, looking up at the sky and smiled "it might rain in a couple hours..." Zexion glanced at him. "How do you know?"
Demyx looked at him and shrugged. "I just know, I can smell it in the air, and feel it." Zexion walked into the house taking off his shoes and setting them beside the door. Demyx merely kicked his off and looked around. Zexion laughed a little at his messiness and sat down on a chair by the kitchen table and beckoned Demyx to come sit with him.
He sat down on the chair looking into Zexion's clear blue eyes and smiled a little. "So. What did you want to know about me?" Zexion coughed a tiny bit and looked down at the table.
"Well.. I want to know what Marluxia an.. This Luxord did to you to make you so angry." Demyx froze, he looked down at his hands, fidgeting with the silver and blue bracelet loose around his wrist.
"Err... M-Marluxia.. He breaks my instrument... And... He..." Demyx trailed off closing his eyes tightly. Zexion was staring at him shocked.
"I-..It's O.K. Demyx you don't have to tell me if you don't want to..." He put his hand over Demyx's fidgeting ones, Demyx looked up at him, tears formed on the edges of his eyes.
"I-I should tell you though... If we're going to be friends I should..." He looked back down taking a deep breath.
Zexion nodded looking away at the table, squeezing Demyx's hand comfortingly. "Well.. He.. It.. Started with small talk.. He just.. Got drunk, came home drunk, and flirted w-with me. He told me I was really beautiful and he'd love to see more of me... A-And Luxord, c-came home drunk one night with Marluxia.. A-And..." He looked down, wiping his eyes with his free hand, Zexion looked at Demyx's face sadly. "It's O.K. Demyx.. I know what you're going to say you don't need to say it..."
He let go of Demyx's hands and rested a hand on his cheek, moving his face to look at his closed eyes, they flickered open, the watery green meeting the sad blue eyes full of concern. "Z-Zexion.." Demyx turned to fling himself into Zexion's arms. Zexion hugged him tightly to his chest looking down a little shocked.
"Demyx, it's alright... No one's going to do that ever again... I promise..." Demyx shook, sniffling into Zexion's shirt, making dark tear stains on his shoulder.
He stopped after 10 minutes, and was limp, sitting in the chair, a few inches away from Zexion's, his torso leaning across to lean on Zexion, who was holding him tightly, his chin resting on top of Demyx's head. The door opened and Axel walked in loudly, but saw Demyx and Zexion, stopping in the doorway and arching an eyebrow. Zexion opened his eyes to give Axel a glare "Axel can you carry him to my bed? He needs some sleep..." He whispered starting to let go of Demyx, who was resting soundly against Zexion's chest, wet tears clinging to his eyelashes.
Axel who was staring at the sleeping person in Zexion's arms nodded, lifting Demyx up easily from Zexion's arms, carrying him to the other room. Zexion rested his cheek against the cold table staring off into space. "So... They raped him... That's why he left... I want to meet this Luxord fellow.. I don't know if I could ever beat someone up. I'm too short... But Axel could, he's so tall, and probably full of muscle from moving easels and chairs, and holding up pallets for long amounts of time. I will get them back for what they did!!' Zexion didn't notice, but he was scowling, and beating his fingers against the table angrily. Axel was leaning against the doorframe staring at his best friend, so angry. "Zex... What happened." It wasn't a question, wasn't a demand, more of a neutral sentence.
Zexion lifted his head off the table rubbing at his temples, fixing the glasses sliding down his nose. "Well.. Demyx's old roommates, Marluxia and Luxord, raped Demyx... and I'm guessing they still mess with him... Because he moved out, that's why he's going to be living with us for a while..." Axel was staring at Zexion, amazement on his face. "Luxord?! I know that punkass little shit! He got expelled from my classes for sexually harassing one of my students! Kicked his ass out after she told me. He raped Demyx?" Axel was glaring now, his foot tapping angrily against the floor. "Am I ever gonna kick his ass! And this Marluxia bastard too!" Zexion smirked pointing at the seat Demyx was moved from.
"Sit, we'll plan." He stated, Axel sat down on the chair and smiled evilly at Zexion.
"You always make such good schemes, what do you have planned?" He said, looking at Zexion who in turn, smirked slyly.
"How about, when they're both home together, probably drunken, we go to the house, and when they don't expect it, knock 'em out, and find two big gay men to rape them when they're knocked out! See if they like being ganged up on when they're asleep!" Zexion was talking sourly, and Axel looked taken aback.
"Zex. You are too great... Lets just beat the shit out of them?" He asked, Zexion shook his head quickly.
"No, no, no, no!" He said. "They deserve to die! They caused Demyx pain.. Harsh pain.. They deserve to be harshly treated..." Zexion trailed off, Axel was staring into his eyes concerned at his friend's sanity level.
"Zex... I'll get them back, I will I promise. They don't need to be raped to feel pain." He smirked, starting to flick his lighter open and closed. Zexion grinned, but yawned covering his mouth and resting his cheek on the table.
"Go crawl in bed with Demyx." He said, and stood up, pocketing his lighter, and putting his shoes on. "Give me the address of their house." He said, putting a piece of paper on the table in front of Zexion's slumping form.
He took a pen out of his pocket and scribbled the address Demyx used to live at on it in neat calligraphy writing. "Here.." he mumbled sliding the paper to Axel who folded it and smirked. "Zex, get some sleep." Zexion nodded and stood, but stumbled, Axel caught him and sighed lifting him off his feet and carrying him into the bedroom, setting him down on the bed next to the snoring Demyx and smiled. "So cute together... bye Zex." he said before walking out the door to the car.
Sticking the keys in the ignition he started the car making sure to carefully back out into the road, not to hit the tree that took out the tail lights. 'They hurt Demyx, and they made Zexion worry. They will pay!' he said in his mind, as he drove off 'O.K. let's see." he mumbled taking out the piece of paper he got from Zexion and shaking it open glancing at it "Sunlight road?... Oh!" Axel smirked and turned onto the dark road nobody walks on. "Oh yea.. Sunny alright...O.K... They live in the house with the flowers? What.. oh... haha." he dropped the note, stopping in front of a white house, with roses and carnations neatly planted in a garden.
"Wow. Flamboyant much?" He got out of the car turning it off, and slammed the door loudly, taking long strides up to the door and knocked on it loudly.
He heard shuffling and the door opened, showing a fruity, tall, pink haired man, he scowled and in a deep voice said "What do you want spiky?" Axel glared and kicked open the screen door blocking them. "I'm gonna kick your ass Marluxia!" He yelled.
Marluxia took a few steps back, staring at Axel with shock. "W-..What?" He stuttered. "What did I do?" Axel grabbed him by the collar of his shirt pulling him forward, staring him in the eyes. "You hurt Demyx, and you cause Zexion distress and worry, and now I'm going to kick your ass!!!!" At this he let go of Marluxia's collar punching him square in the face, sending him flying into the wall.
He heard more footsteps and a tall man with blond short hair and a beard came running down the hall, shuffling cards in his hand. "Axel! What are you doing!" he yelled. Axel growled, grabbing him by the arm.
"Luxord, tell me this, why are you such an ignorant ass hole? WHYdo you have to get off by raping your own roommate." Axel pointed to Marluxia, passed out on the floor, blood protruding from his nose and three of his teeth hanging from his mouth. Luxord stared in shock. "It's your turn Luxy." He stated, before taking his bloody fist back and punching him right on the mouth with all his might, making him fly down the hallway, dropping the cards he was holding.
Luxord sat up holding his mouth and groaning in pain, spitting out teeth and blood. "A-..Axel.. You..." He trailed off as Axel strode towards him lifting him up roughly and punching him again, harder, making him hit the wall with a loud thump, making a small hole with his head, and lying on the floor motionless.
Axel stared at him, smiling evilly, before turning on his heel. "YouDON'T mess with my friends or you mess with me you perverted bastard." he said quietly, before running out of the house and into the car.
He started the car again and drove off in silence. Once he returned home, he got out and went inside, sighing tiredly, washing the dried blood off his hands in the sink. He turned, to find Demyx sitting there quietly staring at him with wide eyes. "A-..Axel... What did you do?" Axel was rooted to the spot, staring at his now clean hands and turned around giving Demyx a genuine smile.
"Don't worry about it, just go back to bed. I'm sure Zex misses ya'." His smile worked, as Demyx got up and nodded walking back to the bedroom. "O.K.. Goodnight Axel." He mumbled, closing the door behind him.
Axel smile faded the second Demyx closed the door and he leaned against the counter looking at the floor. "Just like last time..." He mumbled, before going into the bathroom for a shower. Demyx found his way into bed, the room pitch black, and Zexion stirred opening his eyes, rubbing at them.
"D-Demyx?" He said quietly. He felt Demyx jump a little before looking at what he thought was Zexion's outline.
"Yea?" Demyx was staring at the moon reflecting off his new friend's silvery blue hair and smiled a little.
"Why do you like the rain?" Zexion asked, 'He's so random...' Demyx though before staring out at the somewhat lightened outside.
"I don't know... I just feel at ease... Like nothing can go wrong when I'm standing there. The rain just massages my mind into a state of relaxation... It makes me forget how bad my life is and it gives me hope, something good will come out of waiting." At this he smiled reaching for Zexion's hand, he found it, and felt Zexion jump slightly, but close his fingers around Demyx's hand. "And I found it... Thank-you Zexion.." Zexion smiled and closed his eyes.
"You're welcome Demyx.." He looked at the light coming out from underneath the door of the shower. "Hey.. Is Axel back?"
Demyx tightened his hand and nodded. "Y-Yea... He wont tell me what happened..." Zexion smiled closing his eyes again drifting off back to sleep.
"I'll get it out of him tomorrow.. You know.. .Axel doesn't have the greatest past... Maybe you two could talk.. Have a bond. that's probably why he was so upset when he found out what happened." Demyx snapped his eyes open sitting up.
"You told him?" Zexion opened an eyes and nodded. "Yea.. Don't worry Demyx he wont tell anyone. You can trust Axel." Demyx nodded and laid back down closing his eyes, snuggling into Zexion.
"O.K... Goodnight Zexy..." Zexion smiled, still holding onto Demyx's hand.
"Goodnight Demyx." He waited a few minutes, until he felt Demyx's hand loosen and a little snore escape his mouth before turning to the shower door.
"You can come out Axel... He's asleep." He smirked when he heard the door open and light flooded the room, but it was extinguished almost immediately as Axel got into bed silently.
"What did you do?" Zexion asked simply, he heard a shuffle and a sigh as Axel laid down to rest.
"I beat them to a pulp... Marluxia, it only took a punch to knock out, and Luxord I had to throw him into a wall twice and punch him in the mouth twice to get him out... Lost a lot of teeth from the both of them. I hope they get amnesia.." he said bitterly.
Zexion chuckled a little, resting his chin on the top of Demyx's ruffled hair and closed his eyes. "Get some rest Axel.. And.. Thank-you. For being so concerned.."
Axel smiled closing his eyes and drifting off. "You're welcome.."
And both of them fell asleep, Axel's snores soon filling up the room.
The clock read 2:27 A.M.
