Zexion, Sora, Roxas, and Riku all took their seats in the front row of the school auditorium. There wasn't an actual theatre in town, so this was the best possible. Surprisingly, it was big enough to fit about half the town's population.
As the lights dimmed and the curtains opened, Demyx, Axel, Saix, Namine, and Kairi walked out on stage, causing the whole auditorium to erupt with applause. No one outside of their friends and families have actually heard Demyx's band play, so this was a treat for everyone. Especially the scout from Hollywood, said to be here.
They flew through the first two songs with ease, earning overwhelming screams of praise and amazement from the crowd. Before they started their final song, Demyx switched came up to the front microphone. "This final song goes out to someone very special to me. There's something I want to tell him," he said, taking his spot back. They then started playing.
"The writings on the wall
Your crimson touch is going no where
I'll hang on every word you said
And sink my teeth into this nightmare."
Demyx singing whole-heartedly in background made Zexion's heart skip a beat. He knew he was singing it for him.
"I'm screaming out!
Can you hear me?
I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!
I see the truth!
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you."
Zexion knew Axel was singing this for Roxas. He looked over to his friend and noticed a huge blush crossing his face. He didn't tease, though, knowing there was one on his face, too.
"I feel your body crawl
Pale flesh for my devotion
True pain is all you ever meant
Love will be our last emotion.
I'm screaming out!
Can you hear me?
I bleed for you
Forever I will lie awake
I would die for you!
I see the truth!
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you.
With every breath I feel you there
Forbidden love is falling
Your eyes sing despair!"
The song shot out every feeling Axel and Demyx shared for Zexion and Roxas. They could feel tears coming to all their eyes. The crowd was exploding with excitement at the tone of the song.
"I bleed for you
Forever I would lie awake
I would die for you!
I see the truth!
I've given you my heart to break
I would die for you…"
The crowd was going insane with applause. Tears were pouring out of his and Roxas's eyes as Demyx and Axel jumped off the stage into their lover's grasps. "Axel that was amazing! I love you so much!" Axel smiled and gave Roxas a passionate kiss, getting some of the girls freakishly squealing, some getting nosebleeds.
Riku grabbed Sora and kissed him as well, explaining that he was the one who wrote the song. Sora blushed and kissed Riku. Some of the girls were probably going to die from blood loss at some point in the next few minutes.
Zexion let himself be wrapped up in Demyx's embrace, feeling really light when he picked him up and spun him around. "I would die for you, Zexion," he whispered into Zexion's ear.
"I would follow you to the depths of hell," Zexion promised, kissing Demyx with every fiber of his being. There was nothing better than that moment. Well, maybe except for the following Monday at school…
-SPACE-
The band walked through the halls of the school, everyone clapping and some treating them like complete celebrities. Event the teachers clapped. The only thing that could make Zexion and Demyx's day go bad is if Larxene was there. And hey, speak of the devil, and the devil shall… come to school with a disguise?
Larxene came out from behind a trashcan wearing a big hat and sunglasses. A teacher walked by and told her to get rid of them, her strongly refusing to. The teacher ripped the hat right off her head, revealing her blonde bee like haircut. A freshman boy yelled "That's her!" and suddenly everyone started booing and throwing paper balls at Larxene.
Saix, being the nice guy that he was, ran over to Larxene and got the kids to leave her alone. She crumbled into his arms and broke down crying. She tried to say something, but her tears drowned out any understandable words. Saix helped her up and told Zexion and the gang that he would take Larxene to the clinic for now and for them to find out why everyone attacked her.
The gang nodded, Saix lifting Larxene, who couldn't stand, and taking her down the hall. Axel immediately glared at some random junior kid and asked him what that was all about. "It's her own fault, isn't it? We heard she tried to get your band to break up by using Zexion and Demyx. Plus, she's jut a bitch. Everyone hates her for trying to break you guys up, especially since you played so well the other day. The town would hate to lose people as talented as you," he explained, quickly walking away before they had time to ask anymore questions.
Axel looked back to his friends in surprise as the junior boy walked off. 'That was Aqua's plan?' Saix came running down the hall towards them. "Guys! Larxene just explained to me. You don't think Aqua actually did that, do you?" he asked.
"Who cares? She deserves it!" All eyes turned to Zexion and his sudden outburst. "What she did was unforgivable, using me and Demyx like that! If it were up to me, I would have thought of something worse!" he shouted.
Demyx reached out his hand and calmly put it on Zexion's shoulder. "Zex… what are you saying? I know what she did was messed up but-…"
"It was more than that, Demyx!" Zexion shouted, slapping Demyx's hand away. "You don't know how much that hurt me! To think that you, the only person I truly trust, truly care about, had betrayed me! You don't understand how dead I felt, believing those things! That was the most I've cried in my entire life. I hated feeling like that, Demyx… I just plain hated it! I hated feeling like I lost my only light…." Zexion fell to his knees and cried. Demyx knelt down, pulling Zexion into his chest. Axel and everyone else kept the other students moving and their eyes away from the scene unveiling in front of them.
"Zexion… I'm so sorry she made you feel like that… But do you really think she deserves this? Marluxia was the only person who would talk to her, even if he had no choice. She has no friends, no life line. She doesn't have any kind of bond like we do with our friends or each other. Don't you think that having everyone hate her for something that doesn't concern them is a little too much?" Demyx asked, coaxing Zexion to calm down.
Zexion mulled over Demyx's words. 'I guess it's going a bit overboard…' Zexion looked up and nodded. Demyx turned to Axel and Saix and winked, already knowing that they knew what to do. "Where are they going?" Namine asked.
"They're going to get everyone to lay off Larxene. I'll talk to Aqua and get her to apologize to Larxene later," Demyx said.
"If she doesn't snap your neck for doing this, first," said Kairi, making Demyx wince in fear.
"Don't worry; I'll be there to make sure she doesn't kill him. She wouldn't, anyway, not with me there," Zexion joked, making Demyx pout and everyone else laugh. The PDA system clicked on above them suddenly, the principal's voice booming all over the school.
"Demyx Lite and Saix Tsuki, please come to the principal's office immediately," he announced. Demyx questioningly stood up, helping Zexion and giving him a quick kiss before walking to the office. The bell then rang, everyone scattering to get to class.
Demyx and Saix didn't show up for any classes all day, making Zexion worry like crazy. It wasn't until the end of the day that he finally met up with the sitar player. "What did the principal want?"
"You're not gonna believe this! You know how there was a scout at the concert, right? Well he sent a video of the performance to his company and they're thinking about helping us go big!" he said, practically bouncing with joy. Zexion was expressionless. "What's wrong, Zexion? Don't you see? This could be our big chance!"
"I do see… And, believe me, I'm so, so happy for you. I just…" Zexion looked away, hiding behind his bangs. Demyx took his cheek and turned Zexion to look him straight in the eye. "If you get this chance, you'll have to leave and go to Hollywood… I just got you back, Demyx! I don't want to lose you again…" Zexion said, tears escaping his eyes.
Demyx lightly kissed Zexion's tears away, making Zexion blush. "We won't be going anywhere until the end of the school year next month. And besides, who said we weren't going to take you with us? I'll never leave you, Zexion. Never," he swore, taking Zexion's hand and gripping tightly.
Zexion looked into Demyx's eyes, seeing the pure truth reflecting out of them. He nodded his head, unable to say anything in response, and kissed him. He loved having Demyx back. He loved knowing they would always be together. He loved knowing that with each other by their side, they can overcome anything and anything is possible.
D'aww. Tho koot~ At least it actually followed the theme in each chapter. I don't remember saying what it was. So it was: Tears.
The song that Demyx's band performed was "Die For You" by the ever-amazing Black Veil Brides.
