Fuck, I suck so bad. :( I'm sorry every one! I'm a slow procrastinator but I promise I'm working on the next chapter! In the meantime I made a short one shot for Easter! :D! . . . Even though it's late I spent two days writing it so I'm going to upload it. Enjoy~
'Twas Easter egg morning and all through the house not a creature was stirring not even-BAM. . . "DEMYX!!!"
Well, I tried.
Zexion glared at his clock that read 8:35 A.M and growled as various shuffles and crashes woke him from his peaceful sleep. "What the FUCK are you DOING?" He yelled, quickly getting out of bed and slipping on his robe and slippers. Stalking out the door, he heard muttering and his 'beloved' boyfriend running around down the hall in the living room.
He pulled open the door to the living room and peered inside. Demyx was closing a drawer on the entertainment center. "Demyx what are you doing. . .?" He growled.
Demyx grinned, grabbing Zexion by the hand and dragging him to the kitchen. "I made breakfast!" He said happily, gesturing toward the platter of messy looking eggs and almost burned bacon with a pitcher of orange juice sitting to the side, almost overflowing. It looked like a pretty fail breakfast in Zexion's eyes.
"Great. . . Do you really think I'm going to eat that though?" He asked, looking up to Demyx who gave him puppy dog eyes. "Pretty please? I worked so hard to make it! I didn't light the stove on fire this time." He whined, giving a tiny pout to complete the guilt trip.
"Fine. But if I die of food poisoning I'm going to Roxas' house." He muttered, sitting down at the table and grabbing the fork that was neatly set out by his plate. Demyx sat down across from him as he stabbed a slice of bacon, sniffing it cautiously.
He glanced at Demyx curiously with narrowed eyes "Alright, what did you break?" He asked, setting down his fork. "You only make me breakfast when you break something."
Demyx grinned, grabbing four slices of bacon and two large spoonfuls of scrambled eggs. "Nothing!" He replied in a sing song voice. "Do you know what today is?"
"Easter. So what? We never do anything for Easter."
"Ah-ah. I did! For you, I hid one egg and you have to find it."
Zexion grabbed some eggs, taking a small nervous bite and then figuring out that it wasn't going to make him turn blue and choke to death, he took a larger bite. He didn't say anything back to Demyx.
"Zexy please? It's Easter!" He whined.
"No! I'm not ten!" Zexion replied in a hostile tone.
Demyx looked defeated and went back to eating silently. After four minutes Zexion gave in. "FINE! I'll look for your stupid egg." He muttered, in total defeat.
"YES! You'll love what's inside it I promise~"
"Oh? What's in it? Some candy and a few coins?"
"Nope! Well yes, something sweet and delicious." He grinned, getting up from the table.
Zexion rolled his eyes finishing up his breakfast. "I'll just go find it then." He said, going into the living room.
Demyx grinned "You'll have a hard time finding it. I hid it real good!"
Zexion pulled open the drawer he saw Demyx close when he came down the hallway earlier that morning and rummaged through its contents. When he found nothing he slammed the drawer shut and moved on. "I'll bet it's hidden real good. Because you're just that smart." He muttered to himself in a mocking way, moving on to the other pieces of furniture in the room.
He searched for that egg for 3 hours. At first he thought Demyx would hide it right in the living room but Zexion found himself traveling into the kitchen to search the cupboards there. Demyx sauntered by every thirty minutes asking the same question. "You find it?" Zexion would huff and go "No, Demyx, I haven't." Very quietly in a defeated murmur.
Demyx just smirked to himself and kept moving on. At the fourth hour Zexion was in the hallway closet when Demyx came by. "Can you at LEAST give me a hint?" Zexion pleaded now, completely set on finding the egg.
"It's not in the closet or our bedroom." He said teasingly.
"I've checked the living room, the bathroom, the kitchen, this hallway and the garage! Can you tell me what room it's in PLEASE? We don't have any rooms left to search in!" he huffed, making Demyx laugh.
"It's not on this floor, just think about that. You're smart enough. " He hinted, walking into the living room, leaving Zexion leaning against the wall.
'So it either has to be in the basement or the attic' he thought, shutting the door to the closet and walking out to the living room.
Demyx was sitting in his chair when Zexion passed him, heading towards the door. "You figure it out yet?" He smiled, making Zexion narrow his eyes suspiciously.
"What aren't you telling me? You only smile like a jerk when you're keeping something from me." He accused, pulling on his sneakers.
"What, me? It's Easter Zexy, live a little! I love you and want you to have a fun time so I hid an egg to give you a little ease on the housework and chores you always do so early! I just want to give you fun and a delicious treat!" He whined, appalled that Zexion would accuse him of pulling a prank on Easter. "If I wanted to trick you I would have done it on April Fools but that's Axel's job." He smiled, remembering three days ago when Axel sabotaged Zexion's entire routine with gags and cruel tricks, almost driving the poor thing to tears. He apologized, of course, at knife point.
Zexion sighed and headed to the porch. "Yea I know. I'm looking in the basement."
He went around the house to the side and pulled open the basement door, cautiously flicking on the light and stepping down the stairs. "I don't even know why he would hide the egg down here, we don't keep anything in here." He whispered to himself, starting by looking around on the floor then heading to the empty shelves, the exception being one lonely box Demyx had moved down here when they moved into the house two years ago.
He checked all of the shelves, and in the box full of random junk he didn't even remember Demyx or him ever having at one point in time, then he checked in the dryer and the washing machine, also coming out empty handed. He started his walk up the cement stairs with his head held low. When he got to the top he noticed the door had shut and a paper was taped to the back, which was the front where Zexion was standing. The writing looked a lot like Demyx's hand. It read "Check the attic, silly :-P!" Zexion growled, shoving the door open, sending it flying upward to hit the ground.
Once inside he went to the living room and saw Demyx wasn't there. "Demyx?" He yelled into the empty space, hoping to bitch him out before he went to get the egg, but Demyx was no where in the house.
Zexion quickly walked to the hallway and pulled own the stairs from the ceiling. He walked up them, groping the wall for a light switch and finally finding one, lit the entire room up, to brighten the box-filled attic. Half the space was filled with totes and ancient looking cardboard boxes coated in dust and cobwebs. The other half of the space was Zexions mini library he had started to read but was disappointed to find he had no time for. He sighed, "How am I supposed to find one stupid egg with so many things up here?" He mumbled walking over to the boxes, the floor boards creaking eerily under his feet. The first box he decided to open contained a photo album and tons of pictures underneath it. He picked up one of the loose pictures and smiled seeing himself and Demyx three years ago, embracing on the beach shore with Roxas' foot showing in the corner.
Searching through the box he saw pictures of all the places they went together, taken by Roxas or Axel. He spent ten minutes looking through the pictures and lost track of time. A rustle amongst the boxes made him look up and throw the album he had begun to look through back in the box and scoot backwards towards the stairs in fright. It was just Demyx.
"Jesus, you scared me. . ." Zexion whispered, breaking the silence.
Demyx smiled "You find that egg yet?" he said, stepping over the boxes and kneeling down to Zexion's level, looking into the box of pictures.
Zexion blushed at the sudden closeness, standing up and looking around at the many boxes. "No. Can you just tell me where it is? I don't feel like looking for it all day." He said with a sigh in his voice, a sigh of defeat.
"Of course. I'll be glad to help." Demyx said with a nervousness in his voice, putting his hand in his jeans pocket and grinning, pulling out a light blue egg. Zexion stared up at Demyx in disbelief.
"You jerk! You made me look all day long when you had it the whole time!" Zexion yelled, still blushing red.
"Yep, but lemme ask you one thing." He whispered, fumbling with the egg somewhat nervously.
Zexion uncrossed his arms and looked down at Demyx, noticing his nervousness. "Umm. . . .Okay. What is it?"
Demyx held out the egg and opened the top, revealing it's contents. A silver ring with a mounted green stone in delicate silver netting was set in a purple cushion inside the bottom half of the egg. "Will you marry me?"
Zexion covered his mouth and tears formed in his eyes. He knelt down to Demyx's level, holding out his hand for Demyx to grab and slip the ring on to his left ring finger.
Zexion, for the first time in his life, grinned with such happiness that Demyx had to pull him into a firm kiss, which Zexion happily returned.
When their moment was over, Zexion laughed lightly, snuggling his face into Demyx's shoulder. "You're such a corny fiancée." He smiled.
"You love it." Demyx responded, getting up off the floor and helping Zexion up.
"Oh my God I have to call Roxas! We have a wedding to plan!" Zexion said, pecking Demyx on the cheek and flouncing down the stairs.
Demyx smiled to himself in victory, turning the lights off as he descended the stairs. Shutting them up most likely for a long, long time.
End.
