Chapter 2: Glimmer of Hope

Zexion opened his eyes to a blinding white light. His arm immediately flashed to his eyes guarding against the annoyance that made his eyes swivel. How long had it been since he had consumed that much light? Usually the curtains at home were shut during the day, and Zexion usually just walked around at night.

It didn't really help his image.

Zexion noticed that tears stung in his eyes. It wasn't because of the light but that the memories of going out at night. Zexion sat up; his eyes now adjusted to the light and pulled the white covers to his chin crying softly. Why? Why did you have to le- Zexion's head snapped to the left where a door cracked open. It revealed the spiky blonde who gave a small wave, "A-Are you okay?"

Zexion's eyes somewhat dilated all the thoughts coming back.

*Flashback*

Zexion's lungs stung after running away from the damaged restaurant. It had almost been a mile and he didn't stop, and the tears were stuck to his cheeks crusting. Zexion shut his eyes slowing but not stopping, his black jacket hanging on his elbows, removed from his shoulders.

Why had that blonde touched his head?! Why was he so concerned? Zexion's mouth tasted with salt, he had to admit that the spiked hair guy made his heart pound and made him feel lighter dismissing his thin frame. Zexion shook his head, No! He wasn't supposed to be happy over some stranger! The only person that he knew and actually talked to was gone! Dead! Zexion tripped falling to his knee's by a bus stop. He took out a small faded gold bottle full of clear yellow pills, the paper torn. Zexion ripped it off "I don't care!" he cried, spilling half of the pills into his hands, more littering the ground. Zexion pulled himself up onto the bench staring at his hand. He looked around for a container of water but nothing was close.

Damn

Zexion sucked in his checks a couple of times gathering saliva and threw some of the pills in his mouth gasping. His eyes started to fall slightly but he forced them open, repeating the process a couple of times. Before Zexion knew it he was out, not really noticing a couple hours later that he was carried into car, someone's hand on his back always.

So warm.

*End Flashback*

Zexion stared at the spiky haired blonde and moved to the opposite side of the bed climbing out trying to side step trying to find a way out but there was swaying and a clinking of items. Zexion looked down at his arm, a needle and a patch located on it and one of those things doctors clipped onto your fingers. Zexion shook his head, he never really went to the hospital. The blonde frowned and backed away, "I can leave if you want. I- I just wanted to see if you were up!" he said shakily.

Zexion stared at the blue eyed man. A hand sub consciously lifted, wanting to go to his heart, but Zexion forced it down, trying to ignore the light feeling. Somebody cared? For him? He was a nobody though. He didn't exist to anyone on the earth anymore. Zexion's eyes welled up thinking of that caring person again and he turned away not wanting to see the angel to see "W-What do you want?! Why am I here?" Zexion demanded.

The blue eyed man stepped in closing the door, "W-We found you on a bench after you left. T-There were pills … all over."

"Who are 'we'?"

"U-Uh Umm w-we…"

Zexion closed his eyes, he looked over his shoulder turning around, "I'm not going to bite." He said emptily. "Who are you anyway?" sure he wasn't comfortable that the angel stranger knew that he had committed suicide, and was caring for him, but Zexion didn't want to talk about it.

"My name…? My name is Demyx." The blonde chocked. Zexion gave a small smirk, "You stutter a lot."

Demyx gave a small gurgling laugh, "Yeah."

"Sorry for---"

All of a sudden a silver haired guy was pulling a dark blond into the room. They were tightly intertwined, their lips crushing each others. Demyx yelped as the silver haired guy crashed into him, dragging the dark blonde with him. Zexion looked confused and didn't know what to do, but climbed over the bed looking over at the three on the ground.

"DAMN IT RIKU!!!"

The silver haired guy – Riku – Stood up helping Sora up who was blushing madly and looked at Zexion "Oh." He said simply. Sora looked at the two, "S-Sorry Demyx!" Demyx glared, "Can't you two stop having sex for one day or something! My god this is a hospital!" standing up himself. He looked at Zexion a light shade of red, "S-Sorry. This is Sora and Riku…Riku is one of us that helped you here." Zexion looked over at Riku nodding, who nodded back in return.

Sora opened his mouth to say something but all of a sudden another blonde entered the room grabbing Sora's ear, and a red head grabbing Riku's.

"What do you think you're doing Sora?" The lighter blond growled whacking Sora upside the head, who whined, "Nothing! Honest!" The red head gave a snort, "When are you guys going to get tired of each other?" dragging Riku out who was trying to push him away.

Zexion blinked backing towards the wall. There were too many people in this room all at once. The most he had ever suffered was one and that one was gone. He then looked at all the blonds in the room Must be a popular color… he thought in his head, giving a small smile. Demyx looked over at Zexion "Really sorry about that. They love having their hands all over each other." He then looked over at the red head.

"This is-"

"The name's Axel." The red head interjected "Got it memorized? I'm the one who carried you to the car and drove you here." Axel looked away from Zexion staring at Demyx, "What are you even doing in here?" he asked crossing his arms raising an eyebrow. This cause Demyx to blush, "I- I was just check on him honest!" Axel stared at Demyx hard and sighed leaving the room. Demyx turned back to Zexion once again, "I-I'm sorry it's kind of- Hey what are you doing!?"

Zexion was pulling on a white shirt from the closet, but already was wearing black loose pants; he looked over at Demyx "Leaving." He said as if it explained it all.

"B-But you can't! You still need to get-"

"I don't' care what these doctor's say. I can take care of myself." Zexion interjected. He walked past Demyx but paused to say "Thanks"

-*-

Demyx blinked standing there after Zexion left the room. He punched the wall falling to the ground. Why did Sora and Riku have to ruin their conversation!? Demyx really wanted to talk to Zexion…he wanted to help. He wanted to be friends, but that wasn't what the burning in his chest told him. Demyx held his heart groaning. He stood up and left the room to see Axel holding Zexion's shoulder.

Zexion looked over at Demyx and then quickly put his head down so his dark hair covered his eyes. Demyx blinked and looked at Axel, "What are you doing?" he asked cautiously. Axel sighed, "Well I thought he could come over for a few day's. Since he seems unfit to stay alone." He glanced at Zexion, indicating the pills. Demyx looked blown away. Zexion!? Staying over at their place? This would give them a chance to talk! His eyes narrowed and looked over at Sora and Riku who were sitting in chairs located in the corner, "What about them?" Demyx asked angrily.

"They are leaving."

Sora stood up immediately, "WHAT?!"

Axel glared walking over pushing Sora down, "You heard me. You and Riku are leaving the house for a couple of days. Take your hormones somewhere else!" from the other side of the room, Roxas snorted with laughter unable to contain himself. Riku hung his head, Sora red as could be. Axel looked over at Roxas, "We can talk about us later." He said adding a wink making Roxas blush now and Riku now smirking.

Demyx looked at Zexion who was in the same place, his hair in his eyes. Demyx walked over putting a hand on Zexion's shoulder, "We can talk later if you want." Zexion looked up, hair only revealing one of his eyes. He searched Demyx's eyes' who was slightly pink and nodded, "Okay." Demyx could have sworn Zexion was on the verge of tears, but shook the feeling off, "I promise that this wont turn into a train wreck." He promised smiling.

-*-

Zexion woke up the next morning. His memory was no longer foggy, but his stomach sure hurt from all the vomiting he had to do to get rid of the pills. He groaned and put his head back on the soft pillow sniffing the blankets. He recalled that Axel had invited him to stay with the group for a few days to help him get back on his feet, and quite frankly Zexion was happy about the offer. Even if it wasn't much of a conversation they had, Zexion loved talking with Demyx. He loved his voice, and the way that he cared. Zexion yawned sitting up and getting out of bed pulling on a pair of black baggy pants.

He left the room, wearing nothing but his pants, Zexion was too lazy too put on anything but a shirt and went into the kitchen. The night before, when Sora and Riku were forced out of the house by Roxas, Axel said that Zexion could have anything from the fridge, and that they mostly went out to eat. He rummaged through the fridge pulling out some waffles and put them into the toaster sitting at the kitchen table waiting.

Zexion pulled out a photo of him and a taller man smiling, "What have I gotten myself into Lexaeus?" he whispered, then put it back in his pocket going to get the waffles.

Editor's Notes: Whoa _ the ending might confuse some people! If you are thinking that I paired Zexion and Lexaeus together you are wrong! The photo is just a memory for Zexion because him and Lexaeus were just friends! Nothing else! If you think that I did pair them, ask your self…

Did you write this story? Are you me?

Anyway just wanted to clear that up =) But umm….just to let you know. Lexaeus is dead. He is the friend that Zexion keeps thinking about, and was the only social link for Zexion. Just in case you didn't figure that out ;) (BTW this wasn't a spoiler. I think it was kind of obvious….)

AxelxRoxas Note: Again please read Chapter one, if you skipped to Chapter 2. If you don't like my explanation and disagree, don't worry I understand!

Other Works in progress?: Currently I am drawing Mako-Chibi's fic: Resisting is Futile. (Due to request and permission) I am currently not working on any other fanfics but this one.
