Me: Yay! Second chapter! Sorry it took so long to get it up guys. I've been really busy lately what with my new boyfriend and all, so I hope y'all enjoy! Sorry that it's a little shorter than the last one. I tried, but there's only so much description you can fit into one chapter! :D
Fae: Don't worry about it Ayana. They enjoyed the last one!

` When it rains it is harder for Demyx to concentrate, so hearing the soft pitter-patter of the rain on the roof all throughout the class made him long to be outside. He wanted to be outside so bad that he started to zone off enough that Zexion had to yell at him a couple of times, after which he would concentrate for a while, then zone off again. What no one except Axel seems to understand about him though, is that when he zones off he rarely looses touch with the information being presented. It's more like he retaines more information when his brain is partially active somewhere else. Playing with his pencil, or drawing some abstract pattern on a sheet of graph paper usually eased the itch for his hands to do something and help him concentrate better.
When everyone got released from Zexion's class, Axel and Demyx immediately locked eyes, sharing the same idea. They planned to go where they always went in the hour break they had between this class and the next; Radient Gardens. Demyx had recently been down there, looking around, and found a small hidden pathway, behind which he could hear cerulean waves crashing against large rocks. He wanted to show Axel this new place and the beauty of the cliffs that lay there; to share with him this special place beside the sea. The hidden place, that no one had bothered to even mention nor care for. The grasses grew long and the cliffs were sheer. The only notice that anyone had ever been there was the small bench about 20 ft from the edge of the cliff where the wind blew strong.
They met up by the door to the classroom and Axel slipped his hand into the blonde male's, lacing his long fingers into his, as the other couple of students pushed their way through the door. Demyx smiled up at him and felt his, no-heart was it, tug softly in his chest at the slight blush on the taller male's cheeks and the intensity of his emerald green eyes.
Dem tugged on Axel's hand slightly in a silent gesture for him to follow. The smaller blonde walked him to the Radient Garden gate and stopped abruptly earning a worried look from the taller flame-haired male.
"What is it Dem," he asked, getting more worried by the second as Dem's far off gaze deepened.
"Beyond these gates," he started softly, "there is a secret place. A place no other soul must know about. I'm going to show you this, but you aren't allowed to bring ANYONE," Demyx said the word with force to make his point, "else here. Got it," he asked, his eyes filled with excitement and wanting to protect his secret haven from outsiders. This was going to be their spot now.
"Got it, Dem. I promise I wouldn't ever bring anyone here," he pulled the blonde in and hugged him close in reasurance of his promise. Dem really wanted to stay like that, but he also really wanted to show Aku this place so he stepped out of his arms and pulled open the gate.
"Okay then, come with me," He said, pulling Axel through the now open gates and into the lamp-lit garden.
