Shoelaces

The first time Demyx saw Zexion walking in the hallway, he already laid eyes on him. He found Zexion extremely 'sexy'. As Zexion went on his way to class, Demyx's eyes followed him as he squealed to himself, "Hmm... I admire him!"

Roxas, the blue-eyed boy, gawked at his friend Demyx, who seemed to be amused when Zexion passed by them, and said dully, "You're so weird." Walking away, he could not stand to hear any more of Zexion from Demyx, the peculiar blond-haired boy who stalked the poor little Zexion. Demyx didn't even care whether he skipped classes or not. All he knew was that he felt, to some extent, love at first sight toward the slate-haired young lad.

As he continuously followed his unrequited love, he eventually bumped into his friends, Marluxia and Axel. "Hey Demyx, don't you have a class now?" Axel asked, grinning and winking at Roxas who happened to be passing by them.

The tall blonde Demyx snorted, wearing a yearning face, and said, "Nothing, just stalking my Zexion."

Marluxia and Axel looked at one another and amongst them, a voice said, "You do know that at least three girls and five guys are after Zexion, right?" Demyx abruptly froze, involuntarily staring at them, thinking for some time and, without saying a word, walked away, utterly shocked by his friends.

The two guys were rather bemused by their friend's dramatic exit. "What's wrong with him?" Marluxia, utterly puzzled, asked Axel.

The tall redheaded boy answered, "I think he was shocked." Axel smirked in response.

"Of course! Who wouldn't?"

They both went to their first period class, fairly concerned about Demyx and Zexion.

Two days after

The tall blond boy was peeking behind the pillars of his school. As soon as Zexion walked by, he abruptly started walking beside him, trying to conceal any feelings he had for Zexion at that moment. All of a sudden, he pretentiously pretended that someone collided into him and 'accidentally' stepped on the little boy's shoelace. The boy almost fell and coincidentally Demyx caught him just in time before he stumble onto the rock and falling over the bench, trying to hold back a smile.

Demyx assisted Zexion back to his feet and proceeded to bend down, reaching Zexion's shoelaces. The boy absurdly blushed and, quite humiliated, dared to ask the blond boy on his knees in front of him, "Wh-what are you doing?" his voice silent and hoarse.

Demyx winked at the boy and soon replied, having almost finished tying Zexion's shoelace, "I'm at your service, Zexion." There was no surprise when Zexion turned away from him. His hand flew to cover his mouth trying to hide the embarrassment he felt for Demyx. After the blond boy was done tying the little slate- haired boy's shoelace, Zexion tried to stammer the words out.

"Th-thank you..." he said, and paused as Demyx stood up between him and Zexion, bit by bit bending his face closer and closer toward Zexion. The poor little guy couldn't help but blush. It seemed like these two boys were both abashed, both feeling the heat rising against their skin. At the same time, there was a creature with the peculiar hair that wouldn't stop grinning sheepishly at Zexion,

"Thank me properly," Demyx interrupted, flashing his white healthy teeth at the little boy, who was still waiting for Zexion' reply, "Kiss me and date me, my Zexion," he purred. The boy shuddered and helplessly tried to wear his smile in front of Demyx.

Zexion didn't even know who this boy was, he was somewhat afraid and a little annoyed of Demyx. He couldn't bear dating him, let alone kiss him. "What's wrong?" Demyx asked, baffled, as he started to feel down. On the other hand, Zexion was looking rather appalling than before.

"I don't plan on dating you or kissing a freak like you..." He walked away from Demyx and sighed the moment he said that to the blond boy. He didn't know where those words came from, though somehow, bit by bit, he started to feel appalled. Something triggered his mind; he knew that he'd already seen that face but he just couldn't remember where. It was then that he recalled passing by the pillars of the school. He had seen the blond boy watching him; smiling sadly whenever he passed by him.

Hell! That took me a lot of guts to say! He wasn't really a freak, he was somewhat... hot? Since when did I see guys hot? He doubted, though as he was walking away from him, he could still hear Demyx cry from afar.

"ZEXION!" Demyx wailed for it gave him a broken heart and he didn't even had a chance to introduce himself since Zexion walked out on him.

The slate- haired boy reluctantly stopped and turned around. He could see Demyx from far-off; he sighed and walked back as if there was no other choice left. The blond boy on the other hand, was mystified by Zexion's actions. "Your shoelace," Zexion said as soon as he reached the blond boy and Demyx glanced down on his shoes.

Surprisingly, Zexion lifted up Demyx's chin; the blond boy was perplexed and was taken aback. At first he didn't know what was going on, he was afraid that he might get slapped by his Zexion. He thought wrong, Zexion was on his toes, his other hand resting on Demyx's chest, leaning closer and closer to the blond boy with passion he kissed him fully on the mouth and the blond boy's aqua eyes were wide open in disbelief. "Afterschool," Zexion said as soon as he pulled away from the boy. Both of them were flushing red, well, mostly it was Demyx who was blushing.

"What was that?" Demyx was out of breath. Zexion incessantly gawked at him and was afraid that he might have scared the blond boy in front of him.

"Are you alright?" he asked. Demyx couldn't help from blinking and rubbing his eyes constantly; trying to prove that he is not dreaming nor hallucinating.

He sigh a couple of times and said, "Is this for real? Are you real?" he felt stupid enough to ask. After all, he just proved to Demyx that he does like him and now the boy asked him such question.

"Well, I'm going now," Zexion retorted, completely out of his mind as he walked out. It wasn't until the aqua-eyed boy finally grasped what he just asked him. He should be happy, and he was; he was just a bit taken aback at that moment. He got a hold of the boy's backpack and pulled him to his chest. He held him from behind and said,

"Uhm, I'm Demy and you are Zexion... and uhm... I've liked — loved you for some time now." He grinned timidly, still holding the boy in his embrace. As soon as he said those words, he felt the boy jump and with this he smirked to himself.

"Got it, same with me... I guess..." Zexion released himself from Demyx. He was shy. For a couple of moments they were just standing there not knowing what to do next, "Oh, I must go now. I'll see you afterschool since you already know my last period class." The little boy walked away, and then turned back, winking at his new love and smiled to himself.

It wasn't that bad, he thought, while Demyx was laughing, appearing like an insanely happy person.

"I should untie my shoelaces from now on," the idiotic blond boy grinned suspiciously; hoping that he'd get to kiss his boyfriend, Zexion, the next time he sees him, afterschool.
