I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I meant to update, like, a week ago, but I got caught up in the whole, "end-of-the-year" craziness, and trying to get my mom off her butt and plan her wedding! =x= Anyway, I'm so, so, so, sorry that this chapter is late, and so short, I didn't have very much time to do it.
It'd started raining since the Nocturne had gone outside, seeking refuge away from Marluxia and Larxene, who were eager to question him about his night with Axel. He sat silently on the rooftop of one of the buildings, watching the bright neon lights of the signs dance from color to color. He welcomed the rain, however, smiling as it dripped lightly on the surface of his black coat. Sighing, he tilted his head back, letting the rain wash down over his face.
He'd left the dining room shortly after Axel, and, doing what the pyro had wanted, stayed clear away from any place he might have been napping. Yes, Demyx may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but he was smart enough to tell when Axel was serious, and when he wasn't. Plus, he was afraid that he might actually lose a limb…
The blonde sighed, looking down at the concrete surface in front of him. 'I'm such a bad friend…not even a whole day after me and Axel finally start hanging out, and I have to say something that makes him angry. Stupid, stupid, stupid, Demyx!' He mentally slapped himself, hanging his head. 'I'm starting to think I should've never woken him up. Maybe he wouldn't be mad at me right now if we'd just stayed in bed all morning.' A bright crimson crept over the sitarist's cheeks, and he closed his eyes tightly. 'Ooh, dirty thoughts, dirty thoughts! Brain; I COMMAND you to stop thinking about a naked Axel right now! ...I said STOP!'
'Why am I even thinking about him like that! We're…we're just friends! ...Right?' Demyx opened his eyes to the concrete in front of him, and he raised an eyebrow at the sight of the raindrops on the surface of the roof, forming together to make a heart. He sighed as the little water-heart only grew bigger with each raindrop that touched the ground.
"Darn it, Axel…why do you have to be so likeable?" He wondered aloud, staring down at the heart as it grew, and grew, and grew.
Axel sighed as he felt a gloved hand poking at his skull.
"Demyx, I swear to Kingdom Hearts-" The pyro began, not even opening his eyes.
"Sorry Axel, not Demyx this time." The red-head visibly grimaced at the sound of Larxene's voice. "Afraid your little boy toy's gone off to sulk." The Nymph said this as she roughly shoved Axels' feet out of the way, and plopped down on the edge of the lounge chair.
"Demyx is not my boy toy." Axel snarled, sitting up against the back of the chair. "And shouldn't you be with your boy toy, Marluxia, about now?"
Larxene rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well, I kind of had to ditch my boy toy because his boy toy has locked himself up in his lab, and won't let anyone else in. He is such a baby, always whining about something or other." The blonde looked up suddenly, as if she were just remembering something. "Hey, wait just one second, don't try and change the subject! We're still talking about you and Demyx here."
Axel sighed, swinging his feet over one arm of the chair, and resting his head on the other. "There's nothing to talk about! Me and Demyx, we're just-"
"Just friends?" Larxene teased, struggling to keep from laughing at the look she received from the red-head. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure you crossed the friendship line when you decided to sleep with the little mullet-head."
"It wasn't like that!" Axel argued.
"Oh, I'm sure it wasn't." She mocked. The blonde could feel the temperature in the room rising, and she smirked.
"Okay, you've made fun of me enough for one day, can you leave now?" Axel said, closing his eyes again.
Larxene huffed. "No, I can't leave now! I haven't even given my speech that'll make everyone wonder whether I'm heartless, no pun intended, or if it's just a cover up and I'm a really nice person! So, you're going to sit in that chair, while I give you a heart-warming – again, no pun intended – speech that suddenly makes you realize what a dumb-ass your being, and go off the find Demyx, because you finally realize you're in love with him!"
Axel stared. "I hate it when you're right!" He growled, clambering off of the lounge chair.
"Yeah, I know." Larxene said, relaxing against the couch, crossing her arms behind her head. "But you're glad, huh? I mean, without me, you'd be lost."
The red-head rolled his eyes, straightening his coat and moving towards the door to the Grey Room. If he wanted to find Demyx, he was going to have to really get in touch with his Hide and Seek senses. And yes, even the author thought that was really lame, and is ashamed for even putting that in her story. Too bad though, she's keeping it there because it adds to the word count and makes her feel accomplished.
Demyx walked quietly, but quickly, through the white corridors of the castle. He was on a mission; not the kind that Xemnas usually ordered, but this was a mission he refused to fail. His head wouldn't stop swimming until he'd finally confronted Axel, and told him how he felt. Yeah, he'd lose a limb or two, but that was the price to pay for a little time to actually be able to think clearly, even if only for a little while.
He'd played the scenario over and over in his head, trying to think of the best way to tell him. Though, every time, the scene playing in his head ended up the same way; Axel rejecting him. 'This… is going to suck.' The blonde thought, though he seemed to walk just a little faster.
It wasn't very long that he'd been walking, when he saw a head of fiery red hair down the corridor, just about to turn left at one of the hallways.
"Axel!" Demyx yelled, suddenly breaking into a run. "Hey, Axel, wait up!"
"Demyx?" Axel said, turning to see the blonde. "Well, that was a little easier than I thought it'd be." He mumbled to himself.
When the sitarist finally reached him, he was breathing hard, trying to catch his breath. He dropped down on his knees, and said in between gasps of breath, "Stupid…long…hallways. Couldn't we…get like, moving…floors or…something? Like one…of those...conveur…belt things…that'd be…that'd be nice."
The red-head shook his head, reaching down to help Demyx up from his place on the floor. "You say the most random things…" Axel said, smiling slightly.
Demyx blushed when he looked up at the red-head. "I can stand...by myself...you know." Axel rolled his eyes. "But...that's not what I...came to...talk to you about." Demyx huffed, stopping a minute to regain his breath. "I came to tell you that..."
"What?"
"That I, um...Well, I came to tell you..." Demyx wracked his brain for something to say. He knew he wanted to tell Axel, but did he just want to come right out with it? 'Gah, I can't do it! I can't just say it outright!' Demyx stopped. 'Dear Kingdom Hearts, don't let Axel kill me for this...'
"Demyx? Hello~, anybody in there?" Axel said, tapping Demyx's skull. "Hey, Dem, Xaldin's cooking a whole big plate of waffles for – mmmnn!" The red-head went still, mid-sentence, as Demyx's lips claimed his own.
For a minute, the blonde wondered if it was a good or bad thing that Axel wasn't responding, but quickly dismissed all thoughts when he suddenly started kissing back. His face heated up when the red-head wrapped his arms around his waist, and leaned forward to deepen the kiss. Demyx blushed even brighter, however, when a moan escaped his lips, allowing Axel to slip his tongue inside his mouth, sending him into a feeling of euphoria. When both boys broke apart to catch their breaths, that feeling was still there.
"Is that your way of telling me you like me?" Axel smirked, resting his forehead against Demyx's.
Demyx rolled his eyes. "No, that's my way of telling you we should bake cookies together."
Axel chuckled, a perverted smile creeping onto his lips. "I don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but I'd bake cookies in your oven anytime."
Demyx's face flushed, and he rested his head against Axel's shoulder. "That was lame, and your a pervert." Axel smirked, pulling Demyx closer to him.
Axel smirked, pulling Demyx closer to him. "You love it, don't lie." He said, placing a kiss on the blonde's temple.
'Ah, it all worked out for the best...' Axel smiled. 'But... why do I have the sudden sense that the next chapter is going to be full of angsty, wrist-cutting, depressing-ness?...'
Sooooo, how bout that kiss scene? Lame right? Yeah...I haven't written a kiss scene since I wrote that one for my friend Terra, like, a year ago ^^;;
And don't you worry Axel, I wouldn't ruin you and Demyx's happiness THAT quickly!......or would I? +v+ No, no, I wouldn't do that.
Review please~, and Axel and Demyx will bake you "cookies"... ;D
