CHAPTA' 10. :D!! hurrayyyy? I just got a new laptop so I can update wayyyy faster now.
"You ready Rox?" Axel asked as Zexion's car pulled up in the driveway.
Roxas sighed, opening the door to the little house. "Yea. . ." He grumbled, marching out to the car.
Demyx smiled, waving to Roxas as he and Axel climbed into the backseat. Demyx immediately engaged in conversation. "So Roxas! What is this studio thingy we're going to?" He asked, making Roxas frown.
"Sora and a couple of his stupid friends have this band, and his boyfriend Riku is like, totally rich and got Sora a little stage for practice and this kind of hang out lounge. Lots of couches and chairs and sitting things." He explained. "It's just down the street from Axel's art studio actually. I walk there from Sora's every day I have class." He rambled.
Axel smiled from the other window backseat as Roxas actually talked like his age instead of an anxious 4 year old walking into a mall for the first time. Demyx giggled from the passangers seat, "Are they any good?" He asked, making Roxas scoff and shake his head.
"As individuals maybe, but they cant play together for shit." He replied, making Zexion smile slightly in the drivers seat.
Axel nudged Roxas in the side. "What is it Axel?" He asked as Axel looked out the window.
"We're here." He said, as Zexion jolted right, into a paved driveway.
Demyx clapped and got out of the car. Four doors slammed, and they walked towards the door. It flew open before Roxas could open it, and a brown haired feminine boy jumped out waving at everyone. 'The boy from the art studio. So that's what he ment by 'see you at home Roxas.' Zexion thought as Sora started talking to Roxas in a very quick but surprisingly low voice.
"Yay you're here! And you brought all your friends? That's cool we got room!" He exclaimed, waving them inside.
Zexion peeked a look at Demyx, sighing softly as Demyx clapped his again again, and grabbed Zexion's arm softly, pulling him inside. Once inside, they were met by a gentle, welcoming lounge, and a very tall stage, covered over with a bright blue carpet. A nice set of drums and a microphone sat on the back of the stage. Sora sat Roxas down on one of the many pillowed couches and pulled a notebook out of a binder opening it to him,
and talking quietly. Axel was standing behind the couch, looking quite bored, blabbering on to a silent silvery-white haired beauty, Zexion guessed was Sora's boyfriend Riku."Oi! Zexy, Dem, get over here!" Axel said loudly, making Zexion jump as the few seconds of serene quietness was cracked by Axel's loud voice.
Demyx grabbed Zexion gently by the wrist and tugged to get his feet moving towards the red head, who hurried Demyx up by pulling on his arm, which caused poor Zexion to go tumbling to the ground. Demyx gasped, and knelt down, as Zexion sat up rubbing at his face. "Zexy are you alright?!" Demyx said,
brushing the hair out of Zexion's eyes.
Zexion stood up, Demyx still slightly taller than him, as he blushed a pink tint, looking down at the floor. "I'm all right." He mumbled, as Demyx stood up, grabbing his hand, and looking him over.
"No bruises or scratches, you're all good!" He said pecking Zexion on the lips.
Axel cleared his throat, pointing at the silverett. "This is Riku. Riku, this is my best friend Zexion and my other best friend and Zexion's boyfriend Demyx. Zexion is the midget." Axel explained, muttering the last part.
Zexion heard and glared at Axel giving him a hard kick to the shins.Riku laughed, making Zexion blush slightly and slink over to Demyx's side. Demyx stepped forward shaking his hand smiling happily. "Nice to meet you Riku!" He said, Zexion nodding in agreement.
Demyx and Riku sat to talk, leaving a frazzled Zexion and a smirking Axel. Zexion glared at him, scowling slightly. "What?" He asked, making Axel grin and nudge him slightly.
"Axel stop it!" Zexion growled, but jumped when Sora pranced out of nowhere swinging Zexion in a circle by the arm. "We got a giiiiig we got a giiiiig!" He sang, twirling Zexion in a circle, sending him backwards into a chair.
Riku stood in time to catch the brunette as he pounced on him. Demyx smiled as Sora clung on Riku's back. "We got a giiiig!" he sang, shoving the book in Riku's face, jumping down onto the floor.
Riku and Demyx read Roxas' neat handwriting, smiling. "It's a 3 hour show?!" Riku exclaimed, looking at Roxas in disbelief.
"How did you manage that?" He asked, Roxas shrugging in responce.
"My cousin's friend works where we're playing." He state simply.
Demyx's eyes slid down to where the place they were playing at was listed. "A. . . Gay bar?!" Demyx yelled.
Riku looked over at Sora. "You agreed to this?" He asked.
Sora nodded, smiling widely. "Riku honey why not? We're gay!"
Axel laughed, flopping down onto the couch, grabbing for Roxas on the way down. "Exactly. We can all go an watch."
Roxas glared firmly at Axel as he sat on his lap. "But you do not touch!" He said sternly.
"Like I would." He replied, hugging Roxas from behind. "My eyes are all on you." He whispered into his ear, making him blush and look down at his knees.
Zexion looked over at Demyx, who shrugged smiling, making Zexion look back at the floor, blushing deeply. Sora jumped around, holding Riku's miserable limp hand. "Gig! Gig! I gotta go call the others!" He yelled, jumping over to the phone and grabbing for it.
Riku sat down patiently beside Sora as he quickly dialed a phone number. "Hey Nami! we got a gig! Can you come over?" Sora said loudly, he smiled and nodded. "Perfect! bye bye!" He said, hanging up.
Demyx had his chin propped up on his hand behind the couch, looking down at the notebook Riku had confinscated from Sora before he tore the pages.
The grin slowly slid from Sora's face as he stared at the phone. "I hope Saix's scary dad doesn't pick upppp." He whined, slowly dialing the next number.
He shrunk back wincing slightly as it was answered. "H-Hello is S-saix there?" He whimpered clutching onto Riku tightly.
Zexion watching Sora curiously as he gave a sigh of relief. "Your dad is so scary Sai-Sai!" He whined kicking the couch.
"Yea! Anyway, we got a gig!" He said, his mood changing in 2 seconds.
A muffled cry was heard on the other end as Saix yelled in triumph. "Yea I know! I'm calling Lexaeus next. Yea? Can you come for a sudden meeting?
okay, bye Sai." He said, hanging up.
Zexion shuffled closer to Demyx behind the couch, Demyx met him with a kiss, making Axel smirk, rubbing at Roxas' thigh. Roxas glared at him, gabbing his hand. Sora dialed again, and held the phone patiently to his ear. After 10 seconds of silence, someone picked up. "Lexy! It's Sora.We got a gig! Can you come over? Yea? okay cool. See you, bye!" Sora said quickly shutting the phone off.
"Well that's that! Now we wait!" He said happily, sitting back against the couch, next to Riku.
The 6 waited silently for someone to show up. Finally after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence, they heard the door open and close. Sora perked up and jumped to the door as a blue haired, yellow eyed man came in. Sora pounced on him and pulled him in. "Saix! This is Demyx and Zexion. Axel's friends"
Sora said. Saix waved half-heartedly, Demyx smiling and waving back and Zexion staring down at the couch rim.
"Good now we just gotta wait for Nami and Lexy!" Sora exclaimed as Saix lifted himself up onto the stage, letting his feet dangle.
"So where do we have a gig?" he asked. Axel snickered, covering his mouth.
Sora glared at him and smiled sweetly at Saix from the couch him and Riku were sitting on. "Just a place called 'The cat's meow.'" Sora said quickly.
"It's a gay bar dude." Axel said, making Roxas elbow him in the stomach.
Saix flushed scarlet, looking down at his knees. "How is my dad supposed to go to that?" He muttered.
The room suddenly got quiet as the band members realized they had parents. "Well damn." Sora said after a few moments of silence.
"yea well damn! Mom is not going to see you perform for some horny gay men!" Roxas said loudly.
"Hypocrite! Besides, you're the one who booked it smarty!" Sora yelled pointing at Roxas.
Axel laughed a little as Roxas' face flushed deeply with rage. "You go ahead and tell our mother your band is playing at a gay bar then!" He yelled.
Sora stuck his nose in the air. "Fine. I will!"
"Umm. . . Is this a bad time?" A meek voice said into the angry room.
"Nami!" Sora yelled, jumping up to meet a pale blond in a neat white dress and white sandals. Her eyes matched Sora's and Roxas'.
"Hey Sora, Roxas." She smiled at the brothers, taking a seat on the stage next to Saix.
"Oh! This is Demyx and Zexion." Sora said pointing to the two.
Zexion feeling the serenity around the girl he met, smiled a little and waved from the couch, Demyx waved, going back to stroking Zexion's hair. She looked back at Sora. "So where is this gig?" She asked. Sora sighed.
"Let's wait for Lexy he should be here in a couple minutes." He muttered. Roxas smirked.
Namine shrugged and turned back to watch Demyx and Zexion, smiling ever-so-slightly. Sora was wringing his hands a little nervously. Riku grabbed his hands petting them gently. "Sora calm down." He muttered, Sora took a deep breath. The door to the studio opened and shut. Sora sat up, grabbed the notebook from Riku, and went to meet Lexaeus by the door.
Zexion gaped, as the hugest man he has ever met in his life walked into the room, and took a seat on Saix's other side. Sora followed after him and stopped in front of the three, opening the notebook. "okay you three! We have a lot to go over!" He said loudly.
Lexaeus seemed to be looking right at Zexion the whole meeting. His expression unchanged from that dazed, stony look. Zexion stared down at Demyx's hands pretending not to notice. By the end of Sora's explanation of the gay bar, he and Namine both looked a little shocked. Saix looked grouchy. "Okay, have any of you told anyone yet?" he asked. The three shook their heads.
"Let's just say we're going to practice, but go to the bar instead!"Sora suggested, Roxas jumped up smiling victoriously.
"I know it! You just don't want to tell mom do you!" He yelled, pointing at Sora accusingly.
Sora shrugged, looking at the carpeted floor. "Well of course I don't. . ." He mumbled.
"Yea I know. So let's go along with Sora's idea. Gig starts at 6 ends at 9, in two days, at the Cat's Meow. It's only 15 minutes past this studio actually." Roxas said. Axel laughed a little receiving another elbow in the stomach from Roxas.
"Heey! That hurt!" Axel whined rubbing his side.
Everyone laughed a little, Lexaeus flushing as a smile illuminated Zexion's face. Namine noticed this, watching Lexaeus' reactions to the small man sitting in Demyx's arms. 'Hmmm. . . I guess he's interested.' she thought with a small smile. Lexaeus looked back at the wall as Zexion caught his eyes for a short moment. Demyx kissed his forehead, pushing the loose strands of hair away. Zexion smiled leaning his head against the couch. "What songs are we going to play at the gig?" Saix asked the group as they were sitting on the stage together.
"Hmmm, oh I really wanna play 'Into you." Sora said, everyone nodding in agreement. Roxas wrote them down reluctantly in the notebook as they listed three hours worth of songs, an eligible frown on his face at the horrible song titles.
"Now that I look at it, we've written lots of songs." Sora sat back in thought.
Namine smiled as Saix nodded in agreement laying on his back staring up at the white ceiling. Sora looked over at Lexaeus who hadn't said a word since he walked in, who was still in a trance watching Zexion like a hawk as he slept in Demyx's lap. Demyx was slowly stroking his hair away from his face in a daze. Axel and Roxas were reading a magazine pointing at pictures and whispering to eachother. Riku was laying on his back with Sora on the stage, their hands entertwined, while Sora read over the notebook Roxas has been keeping organized since the band started up a year ago. Riku had his eyes shut, possibly sleeping. Saix and Namine were laying on their stomach facing eachother, playing Go fish. Sora blinked curiously at Lexaeus as he watched Zexion. A loud rumble erupted in the sky, followed by louder bangs and rain pouring down by the bucket-fulls onto the roof. Zexion jumped awake, Demyx smiling softly. "Morning beautiful!" He said, as the thunder cracked off again.
Zexion yawned as the others looked at the window frowing slightly. Demyx watched the rain with a small smile on his face. "Dem. . ." Zexion said,
yawning widely once more, giving off a back cracking stretch, which the thunder roared over.
Demyx looked down at him. "Yea?" He asked, as Zexion smiled faintly.
"Do you want to go outside?" He aked, making Demyx grin.
"Yes!" He said happily standing up. "Does anyone else wanna go outside with us?" He asked the others, Axel giving a no in a repulsive hiss, the others shaking their heads.
Zexion got up, making Lexaeus look down. 'He's so small. . .' he thought, as Zexion handed Axel the keys grabbing his chin and looking him straight in the eyes like a strict mother. "You be careful! The roads will be wet and if you crash my car you're fixing it! Got it memorized?" he said, mocking Axel with his own catch phraze.
Axel scoffed, rolling his eyes. "Yea yea drama queen. Go makeout in the rain now." He said pushing Zexion lightly towards the door, pocketing his keys.
Lexaeus watched as the two linked hands and headed outdoors. Sora smiled, "Well aren't they just darling!" he said, everyone, but Lexaeus nodding,
Namine smiling as she watched the door shut behind the two.
