Okay so this has taken me a LONG time to plan out xD I've been trying to make this chapter planned out right because my other story was a spur of the moment and it ended kinda off. xP So, this story will be planned! HUZZAH:D
BEEPBEEPBEEP!
Demyx sat straight up rubbing at his eyes. He looked around, quickly finding the source of the noise and smashed a hand down on the alarm clock.'wait a sec... this is.. Zexion's and Axel's room..' he then remembered he was staying there with Zexion and Axel. He gasped, jumping a couple inches away from the sleeping body that was Zexion, curled up against Demyx. He stared at Zexion for a couple minutes then poked at his forehead a few times. "Z-Zexion it's morning." he whispered.
Zexion turned over to face the wall, pulling his legs up to his stomach and grumbling. Demyx dared a glance at Axel. Axel was sprawled out on his bed snoring loudly. Demyx giggled slightly, but turned to face Zexion shaking his shoulder slightly. "Wake up Zexyyy."he said louder.
Zexion's bright blue eyes opened, white rimming the black pupils, dazed and dialating to adjust. He groaned turning over on his back. He opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out but a low pitched sat up giving a big stretch, making Demyx's eye twitch when he heard several snaps and pops from the skinny mans back. "M-Morning Dem..." His voice was hoarse and cracky from the short amount of sleep he had got.
"Morning Zexy!" Demyx said brightly, making Zexion smile in amusement. He glanced at Axel and smirked mischeiviously, climbing over Demyx's legs, making him blush pink.
Demyx stared at Zexion as he tip-toed across the room over to the innocently sleeping Axel. He put a hand on the shades and poked Axel on the head making him groan and turn over. "Axel get up!" Zexion yelled shaking his shoulder roughly.
He yanked the shades up letting sunlight pour into the room, giving an angelic glow to Demyx's hair. Axel whined and buried his face in the blankets, which Zexion pulled away seconds later. "Hey I wake you up now so you wont whine later!" Zexion said, pulling at Axel's wrist.
Axel sat up an sighed rubbing his eyes. He glanced at Demyx and smiled a little, "M-Morning.." Demyx said shyly, looking at the blankets.
"Good morning Demyx." Axel said groggily sliding off the bed and to the bathroom. He looked around for Zexion, and he was already staring into his green eyes. Demyx blushed a little looking down.
Zexion smiled slightly. "What do you want for breakfast?" Demyx looked up rubbing the back of his head in thought. "Err... Toast would be fine." He nodded a little and Zexion grinned showing off his pearly white and straightened teeth, making Demyx stare for a couple seconds. "O.K. toast it is!" He walked off to the kitchen to make toast and a bagel.
Demyx looked around at the room, it was neat and tidy on one side and then exploded on the other. There was a large bookcase stuffed full with large books and a few puzzles. The bureau was neat and labeled. On Axel's side all the drawers were open and clothes were tucked over the top of it. He laughed to himself. 'Zexion and Axel are like total opposites... Axel is messy and looks dangerous. Zexion is cute looking and tidy. I wonder how they get along to well..' The shower started in the bathroom and Demyx snapped out of his thoughts. Zexion's head poked into the room. "Your toast is ready!" He said, and Demyx stood, giving a big stretch and walked into the kitchen.
He sat at the table as Zexion set a plate of toast in front of him. It was made perfect, not burned, not underdone. He set butter and jam next to the plate and smiled. "There ya' go!" he said brightly. Demyx looked into Zexion's eyes momentarily. Zexion's smile faded "Am I being a little too happy today?" Demyx laughed and shook his head.
"You can never be too happy! Just, you're being happy. And you're usually like... shy. And silent. But I like you like this more! Cause we can talk. Without awkward silences!" He said quickly, blushing a little.
Zexion smiled amusedly "Demyx, sometime's you're just too cute." Demyx blushed and looked down grabbing the butter knife.
"T-Thanks.." He started putting butter on the toast.
Zexion smiled and turned grabbing the plain bagel from the toaster, pulling it in two halves and putting cream cheese on both sides, only eating one half. Demyx finished his toast and looked up at Zexion who was already watching him. He smiled a little looking down with his eyes. The bathroom door opened and Axel walked out, wearing tight blue pants and a black t-shirt, carrying his painting smock. "G'morning everyone!" He said grabbing the bagel half off the counter and taking a bite.
Demyx raised an eyebrow looking at Zexion who shrugged. "You're in a good mood..." Zexion said, turning to return the cream cheese to the refrigerator.
"Well yea! I get to see Roxy again." Demyx glanced up at Axel who was chewing on half the bagel, shoving the rest of it in his mouth. "You mean the young one that you've been obsessing about for months?" Zexion stated simply, and smirked seeing Axel twitch.
"H-He isn't that young... He's legal at least! 16!" Axel said. Zexion laughed, turning to face the red-head.
"Yea, and you're 26." He smiled seeing Axel blush and look away.
"W-Well you're a lot younger than Demyx!" He accused, making Demyx blush dark red and look at his hands in his lap. Zexion raised an eyebrow.
"Me and Demyx aren't having sex in storage closets, let alone dating." He said, a smirk reaching his handsome features.
Axel sat down in defeat looking at the tiled floor grudingly. "Fine! You win this time Zexy! How old are you anyway Demyx? 20?"
"24. Is that bad?"
Axel cackled, "All in good time."
"What?" Demyx squinted his eyes in thought trying to decipher Axel's words.
Zexion looked at the floor in thought. 'So we're only 6 years apart... That's.. Wait, that's bad. That's pedophile criteria... Damnit... I know he doesn't like me that way... Why am I all of a sudden realizing this? I've been checking him out all day. Axel's never going to let this go.' "Zexion?" Zexion's head snapped up to Demyx, who was staring at him worridly. Axel was waving a hand in front of his face.
"Jeeze... You better not space out like that in the car. We gotta leave soon it's almost 9:40." Axel said, with his eyebrows raised.
Zexion laughed a little rubbing the back of his head. "O-O.K. I got work at 11 so.." he turned to Demyx. "You don't mind staying with Axel again do you?"
Demyx's eyes widened and he nodded. "Y-Yes I don't like the people in that class Selphie scares me!" Axel laughed.
"I wont let them sit near you anymore I promise." Axel said smiling softly.
Demyx nodded and smiled. "O.K.! Thanks Axel."
Zexion smiled and put his coat on giving a sweatshirt to Demyx. "Well, let's get going!" Axel ran out the door to the car before he could finish.
Demyx smiled standing up and putting the sweatshirt over his head, and heading to the car with Zexion. Once in the car Demyx turned to Axel. "Err... Axel? Do you think.. We could go get all my stuff after your classes?" Axel glanced at Demyx and nodded.
"Yea my classes get out at 3 so we can head over there after I get out." Axel said, glancing sideways at the passing scenery from the window.
"O.K. thanks!" Demyx said smiling widely, making Zexion smirk, keeping his eyes on the road, glancing at Demyx from the rear view mirror.
They drove to the studio in silence, Axel and Demyx got out and waved to Zexion who smiled widely waving in return. He pulled out of the parking lot and drove home in a dead silence. 'Damn... It's so quiet without Demyx here...' he sighed walking into the house slowly dragging his feet across the cold dirt. He got in the house kicking off his shoes and went to take a shower. He showered in silence, sinking into his own thoughts. 'I-if I really do like Demyx... I wonder if he likes me also... He's cute, funny, kinda spacey but fun to be around. And I never feel odd doing stuff with him... I guess I do have a slight crush on him... This is so weird, he makes me flutter when I think about him...' Zexion washed the conditioner out of his hair and got out, wrapping a towel around his body and sighed again, brushing out his wet hair, and scrubbing the water out with a towel. He stood looking at himself brush his teeth in the mirror in silence. 'Now I know how boring life was before Demyx came here.' he thought, rinsing and spitting. He got dressed in his black business suit in more dead silence, lacing up his shiny shoes. As he got out of the bathroom brushing his teeth quickly, he slipped his coat on, combing his knotted hair out and putting a hair clip to hold his bangs back. His eye twitched slightly 'Why do I have to wear this thing...' he recalled the day Vexen gave him the shiny black hair clip.
FLASHBACK MODE :D!
"Zexion! Get over here!" Vexen's snooty voice rang out into the silent cubicles of working desks.
Zexion walked over to the boss' office silently looking at the floor as he went. It had been two weeks since Zexion got accepted as Vexen's assistant, and Vexen had been hard on him since day 1. He opened the door and went in. Vexen had his back turned to him, but when he turned around Zexion winced. He had a package of hair clips in his hands. "Zexion. Your hair makes me look like I hired some punkass kid. You need to put it in these every day or you're fired!" He said sternly, handing Zexion the hair clips.
Zexion stared at them in agony, the only colors that looked slightly normal were the black ones. The others were pink, blue, and green. "Yes sir..." Zexion mumbled, turning to leave.
Vexen watched him leave and smiled amusingly as the door was shut rather forcefully. And from that day on, Zexion wore a black hair clip to keep his bangs back.
END FLASHBACK MODE :D!
Zexion stepped outside into the crisp Autumn air, taking in a deep breath. 'It always smells to nice in Fall..' He got in his car and drove off to the company's huge building. On the way there he passed the studio, glancing into the big transparent windows. He spotted Demyx easily, painting in the very front near Axel, painting happily. Zexion couldn't see what but he'd love it even if it were parked his car in the first free space he saw in the crowded parking locked his car trudging to the large doors.
Skip forward 3 hours. D: (Too lazy to go into detail about Zexy's boring work)
Zexion groaned putting his head down on the desk. Vexen had given him two folders stuffed full of his work. 'How does he make all this stuff in one day... He must be a busy man...'before he knew it his eyes were flickering shut and he fell asleep.
But not for long. "Zexion! Get up now!" Vexens voice rang in his ears, and he sat up straight yelping slightly.
"Y-Yes sir?" He stuttered, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"I catch you sleeping on the job again and you're fired!" He said, grabbing the sorted folders off Zexion's desk and storming off. 'Stupid punk... I don't see why he cant just get sleep at home like the rest of us. Something must be wrong or whatever... Oh well, it's not my job to bugger into the kids life. He is my youngest worker after all... Almost as smart as I also... I've never really met anyone like him, I guess that is why he is my assistant.' Vexen walked into his office sticking the folders in a filing cabinet and sat at his desk.
Zexion glanced at the clock. 'Work let out... 10 minutes ago... I guess I can leave.' He stood up grabbing his brief case and stretched, heading towards the had his hand on the handle starting to open it when Vexen stopped him. "Zexion. Come over here for a minute." Zexion inwardly groaned.
"What is it sir?" He asked, glancing at the clock again. Vexen looked uneasily into Zexion's blue eyes.
"Err. Well.. I was wondering if everything was going good with you. I mean.. you seem to be falling asleep in work a lot, have you been getting enough sleep?" Zexion's eyes widened in surprise.
"Uh.. Well no, see I have a new roommate who I've been trying to help out a lot, straightening out his life. And I stay up because he cries a lot, and so yea.. I kinda like him... A lot.." Zexion mumbled the last words and looked away.
Vexen had an eyebrow raised but he smiled a little, making Zexion scared. 'He's got a scary smile...' He thought. "Well alright Zexion. But, promise me to sleep more. I cant let the most intelligent worker I have drop out of his duties!" He said, putting a hand on Zexion's shoulder.
"Yes sir.. And.. thank-you for your concern. See you Thursday." He said, turning to leave quickly.
'God hat was creepy... Vexen should never smile like that again or I'll be scarred for the rest of my life.' Zexion thought as he got in his car and drove off to the studio. 'But, I get to see Demyx today. And I have no work tomorrow!' Zexion smiled happily, pulling into the studio's parking lot and getting out. He walked into the studio to find Demyx still working hard on his masterpiece, and Axel with Roxas up by the front, talking rather closely. He scanned the room, finding Selphie and Kairi, Kairi was staring at him gleefully, but Zexion rolled his eyes going over to Demyx's easel. "Whatcha' drawing?" He asked,Demyx jumped, obviously not noticing he was there and looked up at him smiling widely. "Zexion! I missed you!" He said standing up and giving Zexion a big hug.
Zexion blushed a tiny bit but smiled hugging him back, half the class went 'awwwwwww' Demyx jumped off Zexion sitting down on his chair quickly. Zexion laughed, looking over at the easel, his eyes widening in surprise. "W-Wow Demyx..." Zexion said under his breath.
Demyx had drawn a simple flower, very detailed though and amazingly shaped, it looked like Zexion could reach out and pick it right from the perfect grass Demyx had drawn. From that flower burst a million different shades of color into the midnight sky littered with shining stars. Zexion was staring at the painting, Demyx was blushing looking down at his knees. "Is it bad?..." Zexion's head snapped from the painting to Demyx's face.
"No! It's amazing Dem I didn't know you could paint like this!" The whole class had turned their heads slightly towards them, as if questioning the quiet man's sanity for yelling out.
"Thank-you Zexy!" Demyx squealed, Kairi sat up from her easel glaring at Demyx. "If I cant call you Zexy why can he!" She yelled pointing a finger at Demyx.
Zexion shrugged and straightened up, putting a hand on Demyx's shoulder. Demyx stood grabbing his painting off the easel. Kairi was left standing and glaring at Demyx as he walked to the front."Axeeelllll." Zexion said boredly, Axel looked up from his cooing position with Roxas and smiled. "Yeeeeeesssss?" He said smiling widely.
"Time to leave." He said, "You can hang out with Roxas after we get Demyx's things from Marluxia and Luxord." After he said that grumbles of obsanities came from the classes mouths at the name Luxord, making Axel laugh ing amusement.
"Still remember our little friend eh? Well he ain't coming back any time soon promise." Axel turned to Zexion and nodded turning back to Roxas and giving him a quick peck on the lips. "See ya later Roxy, love you." Axel then ran outside into the car, leaving a confused Zexion and Demyx.
"Where does he get all this energy from..." Zexion wondered out loud, grabbing Demyx's hand and leading him out to the car.
He turned back to the class "Err... Class dismissed I suppose since your teacher is am imbecile." a few kids in the class stood up immediately and started putting their easel's away, and Kairi stood striding over to Zexion.
'Ergh cant she just leave me alone!' He thought as she came up to Zexion with puppy dog eyes. "Zexion why is Demyx living with you? You aren't a couple are you?" She asked, Zexion feeling a throb in his forehead.
"Kairi, leave me alone okay? I don't like you, and I never will, I like guys, not girls. And your type of girl is the same reason I'm gay! You're annoying, and loud, and obnoxious and clingy! So leave me alone!" He yelled into her face, grabbing a surprised Demyx by the hand and leaving the studio with a fast pace, Demyx running to not be dragged by the short but strong Zexion.
"Zexy that was kinda mean." Demyx said quietly, stopping before he got in the car.
Zexion looked up and shrugged looking back at the steering wheel. "I'm not a very nice person to girls like her. Sorry." He said quietly, starting the car as Demyx climbed in the backseat. "Oh. It's okay." Demyx said happily, setting his painting down in the seat beside him as Zexion pulled out of the driveway.
"O.K. so how about we just stop by your old house and get all the things that are yours?" Axel said, in a menicing voice, probably wanting another go at Luxord.
Demyx nodded and smiled widely. "Alright! We can go right now!" He said, almost a bounce in his voice as Zexion took the left onto that creepy road no one walks on.
He pulled into Marluxia and Luxord's driveway, the car wasn't there so they must have been out somewhere. "Alright let's just go in, get all the stuff, and leave. And don't ruin any of their property or they could sue us..." Zexion said, mostly to Axel. Axel looked sad, but got out of the car with Demyx and walked inside.
Demyx put a hand over his mouth, seeing the blood splatter on the carpet from the fight with Axel, and looked around. The furniture was fixed to stand upright and everything was clean, but the blood stains were sunk deep into the white carpet. "Oh I bet that's driving Marluxia mad." Demyx said amusedly.
Axel was already going down the hallway. "O.K. so which room is yours?" He asked, opening doors, finding a bedroom with two beds, and a bathroom in another door.
"It's the last door on your right." Demyx said, picking up books from the shelf that were his. Zexion stopping in the doorway looking around curiously. He walked into the kitchen watching Demyx's finger wander over the spine on the books and pick one out that was his.
"Demyx do you need any help from me?" Zexion asked, Demyx was still picking off books, already having 7 or 8 in his hands.
Demyx nodded and held out his hands with the books in them. "Could you carry these to the car please?" He said, as Zexion stepped forward, the lightweight skinny music books being dropped in his arms.
He walked out to the car, putting them in the backseat, and when he walked inside, Axel was carrying Demyx's sitar. "Was this the thing you wanted to see?" He asked uncertainly.
Demyx's eyes lit up and he rushed forward grabbing the blue sitar from Axel's grasp. "Oh I missed you so much!" He said, hugging the sitar to his chest and snuggling with it. Zexion laughed as Axel quirked an eyebrow.
"O.K., so go get her stand and we can set her right in the car!" Demyx said happily as Axel went to get the stand. "So you play the sitar?" Zexion asked.
Demyx nodded happily. "She's like my baby! I spent hundreds of dollars getting her. And repairing her when I said no to Marluxia and Luxord. They used to break the fretboard right off and I'd have to bring it in for repair..." Demyx sighed remembering his abusive days, shuddering slightly.
But Axel came back with his stand, and his eyes lit up again, taking the stand and running out to the car. Zexion laughed, as Axel, once again, raised his eyebrow. When he returned, he went off to his room. "I'll go pack up my clothes and stuff in some boxes. Zexion just pick off all the music books from the shelf and bring them to the car. And Axel, I need your help carrying boxes." Demyx instructed as Zexion turned to the floor to ceiling bookshelf. 'I'm gonna need a chair...' he thought, grabbing the footstool, and setting it down on the floor.
He stepped up on the footstool, to reach the top of the shelf, grabbing any music related books. Demyx had a lot of them, before he even got to the second shelf, he already had 6 books in his arms. Time passed, Axel walking back and forth with boxes, setting them in the trunk. Once Zexion got all the books he could carry, he carefully stepped off the stool, going out to the car with 28 books in his arms. He set them beside Demyx's sitar, and returned to the footstool, starting to grab more music books off the the shelves. After some more time, Axel and Demyx came out, Zexion was 3 shelves from the floor, a lot of books just sitting in neat stacks around him. Demyx laughed and Zexion looked up from the shelves. "Who liked to read a lot of great books in this house?" He asked, Demyx shrugged picking up a stack of books.
"Probably Luxord since Marluxia couldn't spare a braincell to a chicken without dying. The man only knows how to eat, breathe, sleep, and rape people." Demyx said harshly. Zexion flinched grabbing up a second pile with Axel grabbing the last two.
"O.K. so we're done?" Axel asked, setting the last two stacks of books in the nodded then turned to the house.
"Oh I forgot something." He said, running back into the house. He rain down the hallway into a different room, and grabbed three more large photo albums and another guitar case from a small little room just for him.
He came running back, and Axel raised both eyebrows "You have another guitar?" He asked surprised.
"No this one's my mom's..." Demyx said, smiling at the dark green leather case.
"And my photo albums, I dunno why I want them, but even if my family was somewhat kooky I miss them.." Zexion was watching Demyx run his fingers over the albums.
"What happened to your family?..." Zexion asked, and Demyx smiled a little looking out the window to the old house he used to live in.
"They all died... Thanksgiving day.. My mom was making turkey and my two older brothers were arguing, as usual. I sat quietly, because they didn't really appreciate me all too much. But when they left the room to go argue some more.. The turkey caught fire in the oven. I yelled at them to get out, I even tried dragging them to get out.. But it was too late.. And I just ran out to save myself, I left the door open, but they didn't notice... They were all just stupid... And the fire caught the gas tank.. and the house blew up.. I called the police and fire department but I was just two seconds too late." Demyx was crying, but didn't falter his voice at all.
Zexion looked grim and turned in his seat, Axel looked down at the feet mats on the floor sadly. "I'm sorry Demyx.." He said quietly, Demyx nodded smiling a little.
"It's alright.. It happened a long time ago. I'm fine now.." Demyx smiled as Zexion drove off back home.
"Well Demyx, you can stay with us as long as you want to!" Axel said happily.
Zexion smiled, watching Demyx grin brightly in the rear-view mirror. "Heck, you can stay forever if you wanna!" Demyx blushed at that looking down shyly.
"I dunno about forever Axel, I don't want to be a burden too bad." Demyx said as Zexion pulled the car into the driveway.
"Oh pish posh!" Axel said opening the door to the car and getting out as Zexion popped open the trunk.[A/N: LOL :D Pish posh deary.
"Yea seriously Demyx. You can stay as long as you need to, maybe even longer." Zexion said, smiling at the thought of Demyx practically living with him for a few months.
"Okayy.. Thanks guys! Now, let's get all this stuff inside." Demyx said, grabbing a box from the trunk.
"Right-O!" Axel said, grabbing a box following Demyx, Zexion ran to get the door for them.
'This is going to be great.. Living with Axel and Zexion for as long as I want. Hell, maybe I can get together with Zexion when he realizes he's the most adorable thing on the planet and asks me maybe I should. Heh oh well.' Demyx set down the box and ran out to get another one.
'This kid seems totally awesome. Maybe he can do Zexion some good with his repetitive boring life. Haha, that'd be cool. But Demyx is pretty cute, not as cute and molestable as Roxas but totally cute.' Axel giggled a little setting down the many music books onto the table.
'I cant believe Demyx will be staying this long I'm so happy! And until we find a place for him to sleep he'll be sleeping in my bed! I also think Demyx could maybe soften me up, I'm a little too mean to people sometimes I suppose..' Zexion smiled inwardly at himself, while keeping the door open to the two men rushing back and forth with boxes and books and suit cases. 'This will be the most exciting month of my life I do believe.
