Chapter 5 – He Doesn't Look a Thing Like Jesus
"So do you always sleep naked?" Roxas asked me as I walked into the kitchen, nearly having an orgasm at the marvelous aromas filling the room. My Gods, there were omelets, and pancakes, bacon and sausage, and oh so glorious apple juice.
"Um…yeah." I answered his question, "Is this for me too?" I nearly begged. I can cook, or at least the end result is good, it's best no to mention the stuff in between, but I'm incredibly lazy. A spread like this was rare for me to see.
"Of course, it's the least I can do since I'm not paying rent." That toothy grin of his lit up his face as he spoke. My next action, which was truly worthy of Demyx, shamed me greatly. Usually I have much better composure. I flew across the kitchen and utterly glomped my poor blond to the floor. Luckily he was giggling, so I mustn't have upset him. "Axel, you're getting me all wet." Yeah, I just got out of the shower and only had pants on. I don't like to get my shirt wet while I air dry my hair. That's the only way I can get it to spike right.
I pushed myself off of Roxas chest so I was just straddling his legs. "Sorry Roxy, but Saix never cooked, and I'm too lazy, among other things. The last time I had a real breakfast, not from a restaurant, was when my mom was alive. I got a little too exited I guess."
"I thought it was cute."
"Did you?" I stood up, holding my hand out to help Blondie. He gratefully took it; our hands lingered together for a moment. His hand felt so right in mine, it was just perfect. He then let go and gestured to the table.
"Let's eat, the food's gonna get cold." He said and I obliged.
oOo
The morning went by rather quickly. Axel drove us to work in his sweet ass Lamborghini, I made my first sale, and Axel knocked an entire shelf of Disco CDs over. After helping him clean that disaster up we decide to go to lunch. Since it's incredibly difficult to get a parking space at this time of day, we walked.
Restaurant, was better known for it's breakfast food and was relatively close to the music shop, which meant it wasn't too crowded and Axel and I had more time to eat. Axel decided to talk after we made our orders. "Would you get mad at me if I asked you a question and said you didn't have to answer it if you don't want to?"
"As long as you don't force me I don't mind." I really didn't, he has a wonderful voice.
"When was your first time doing drugs?" Even though Axel had told me his life story I didn't feel obligated to answer this question. I just wanted to, I wanted Axel to know.
"I was fourteen. My parents were having an awful fight. I had Sora, my brother who was twelve, in his room with his headphones on, and I went to get a better look at them. They said such horrible things to each other, and then my dad hit her. He hit my mom, so I attacked him but he was much stronger that me. He threw me to the ground and I ran. I got Sora and made him go to Riku's. Then I walked around for hours and I walked into Seifer.
"I expected him to beat the shit out of me, since he'd been bullying me for years. But apparently I was already crying, I do that a lot, and he felt bad for some reason. He gave me a free joint and it was like all of my problems floated away. And that started my drug addiction."
"Your dad hit your mom?" Axel asked, "Was that a regular occurrence?"
"No, that was the only time and he stopped drinking after it. But they still got divorced, which I think was good. Together they suck at parenting, but apart, they're good to Sora. They got divorced at the perfect time. I was way too out of it to keep taking care of Sora. A year later they sent me to rehab."
"I've never been to rehab, is it bad?" Axel asked.
"I hated it, but it got me sober, and now I'm talking with you. So ultimately I guess it's not terrible, since the results can be good. Ignoring the fact that my mom kicked me out."
"Well I'm happy it brought you here too." Axel said. I smiled and he returned it. He has such a beautiful smile; I love to look at it.
"Roxas!? Oh my God, Roxas! How are you? Where are you sleeping? I'm so sorry my mom said 'no'." Olette came running over to our table with Hayner and Pence following her.
"Hi Olette. Pence, Hayner." I greeted. Why did they have to interrupt us? I was having a wonderfully vivid daydream about those lips all over me. I want to hear his voice not theirs.
"So." Olette insisted.
"What?" I asked.
"I asked you questions." Olette said offended.
"How am I? Better than Friday. Where am I sleeping? Well, Friday I slept on a park bench nearly freezing my ass off, but luckily I've made a new friend and I now have a room at Axel's." I gestured to Axel, who remained silently observant.
"Man, I'm so sorry. My mom just doesn't want me around you when you're doing drugs." Hayner apologized.
"Goddamnit, I graduated form rehab, I'm not doing drugs."
"Well your mom thinks you are, and she told all of our parents. And, Roxas, you went to Seifer, he's a drug dealer."
"You know, I wish I had friends I could go to and say 'hey, I bought some drugs with my virginity, but I decided not to do them. I gave them to some redhead to get rid of. Isn't that awesome, I was able to say no.' But instead you all assume, 'Oh he's on 'em again, let's throw him to the wolves and see if he survives.' But what am I talking about, Axel would believe me, I guess that makes him my true friend." Their faces looked hurt at my words but I didn't care, they hurt me first. "I wanna go Axel, I need to breathe." Axel quickly got up leaving a hundred dollar bill, that's quite a tip, that'll make the waitress's day, and escorted me out.
oOo
"You know, I wish…" Roxas ranted. Okay, things have the potential to get bad real quick now. I pulled out a hundred dollar bill to have it ready for a quick escape. Of course that meant the waitress was getting a 110% tip. Roxas had tears in his eyes now. Gods I hope I can keep him from drugs after this. I hope I can keep myself from opening a can of whoop ass on those friends of his. "I wanna go Axel, I need to breathe." Laying down the hundred, I quickly grabbed Roxas and took him away from those 'friends' and into the park, so we could walk, or 'breathe' as Roxas had put it.
"I'm being a bitch, aren't I?" Roxas asked me after a few minutes of walking.
"Have you ever given your friends a reason to not believe you? From the sounds of it, you stayed away form them when you got really bad."
"Yeah, I hate lying, so I stooped hanging out with them so I wouldn't be able to."
"Then no, you're not being a bitch. I agree that a friend should be there for you, and believe you."
"Is that why you're such a good friend?"
"I think that's a matter of opinion." I smiled down at him. He considers me a friend. I was doing a happy dance on the inside.
oOo
"Is Demyx here?" A beautiful man, with blue hair covering the right half of his face asked from the other side of the counter.
"Zexy!?" Before I could say anything Demyx flew out of the back room, jumped off the counter and onto the man sending them both to the floor, spreading light kisses all over the blue haired man's face.
"Axel, I think Demyx just killed a customer." I yelled, Axel ran out of the backroom and looked over the counter.
"Don't worry Roxy, Zexion's got a Demyx callous." Axel said grinning widely. I looked at him confused and he seemed to notice because he then explained, "Zexion is Demyx's boyfriend and after you know Dem for a while you get used to his glomps. We call it a Demyx callous."
"So he jumps off counters onto everyone he knows?" I asked warily and Axel chuckled. And damn, believe me when I say he has the sexiest laugh I've ever heard.
"No, usually it's not so dramatic, but Zex is his boyfriend and this is the first time in two days that they've seen each other." I looked over the counter again, to see Demyx helping Zexion, who looked quite unruffled despite the fact that he was just glomped, off the floor.
"Oh, Zexy, this is Roxy, Axel's new friend I told you about." Demyx said pointing to me. Zexion shook his head to make his hair fall into place and held out his hand to me.
"Zexion." Was all he said. I grabbed his hand and shook.
"Roxas."
"Well don't get too mushy on us. Demyx may have competition." Axel joked at our emotionless greeting. How did this aloof blue haired man become friends with two overly social goofs?
"How did all of you get to be friends?" I asked, hoping I didn't sound rude. Holy crap, I actually care. For the first time in years I care."
"Well, Zexy and I are kind of, high school sweethearts. Zexy's two years older than me, the same age as Saix. You know Saix?" Demyx waited for me to nod, "Well Zexion and Saix were good friends, so when me and him started going out I ended up being friends with him too. There's also Marluxia, and Larxene, she can be very bitchy but she scares the shit out of people, so she's good to have around. Then there's Luxord, Xigbar, and Xaldin, but they moved away. We still talk, but it's not likely that they'll visit anytime soon.
"Anyway, when Zexy and Saix were twenty, and I was just out of high school, Saix found Axel. They ended up moving in together and we all became friends with Axel. He was the baby of the group, at sixteen. Now you are cutie."
I scowled at Demyx, "I'm eighteen, that's legally an adult."
"You're still the youngest Roxy, but I'll make sure no one calls you a baby. I remember I hated that." Axel said.
"Thank you, Axel." I smiled at him knowing he would smile back, letting me see that gorgeous face lit up, I wasn't disappointed. "So how old is everyone?"
"I'm twenty-two, Dem is twenty-four, and Zex is twenty-six." Axel listed off.
"You don't talk much do you Zexion?" He looked up at my question, he had been staring at Demyx. His one visible deep blue eye was gorgeous, and yet, I still found everything about Axel more appealing.
"No." He answered simply. I smiled again as he went back to staring at Demyx.
"Do you work here too?"
"No." He answered without looking at me, and it wasn't rude, it was just…him. I don't know how to explain it; just that he could basically ignore you without being rude.
"Where do you work? Ah…if you work." I asked.
"Medical Center." He said looking up at me with the slightest hint of a smile.
"Hey, I got five syllables." I nudged Axel.
"He must like you Roxy; I didn't get five syllables until after two months. Although I don't think I was trying to hard." Axel responded.
"Zexy's being modest. He is the head Psychologist at the Medical Center. Aaaaand, he's the youngest. I'm so proud of him." Demyx captured Zexion's lips briefly.
"Me, you own your own music store, and you've composed the music for several movies." Zexion smiled, yes smiled, at Demyx before recapturing his lips. Then Demyx dragged him into the backroom, where moaning was soon heard from.
"Okay, lets close up Roxy, you don't want to hear or see what happens when you reunite a Demy with a Zexy." I laughed as we quickly closed up trying to avoid listening to the moaning coming from the backroom. After driving home, yes I'm calling it home, I made dinner, and then Axel and I played Go Fish while watching TV. I was happier than ever, because this man decided he wanted to save me. And yet there was a nagging in back of my head that wanted to see my family and friends again, to have them proud of me.
I did a Zemyx oneshot about how these two got together. So if anyone is interested in Demyx and Zexion's relationship you can go to my profile, and read the story called, "One Fine Melody". It's your choice because it's not necessary for this story.
I'm sorry about the slow chapter, not much really happened. However I promise 'things' will happen in chapter six. And I believe I can safely say that chapter seven is my favorite chapter. We find out what happens when Axel cooks. It's my attempt at comedy.
Thanks for all reviews, favs, and alerts.
