Warning: This fiction contains yaoi (Shounen-ai) of the pairings Demyx(x)Zexion, AxelxRoxas(Akuroku) and SoraxRiku. If you don't like yaoi of any sort, please do not read this, because I will not pay attention for those flames. If you don't like yaoi then why are you reading this?
Rated: (See Chapter 1)
Editor's Note: If you are looking for the pairing Sora and Riku in this story, please read the previous chapters to see why they are absent in this chapter.
(Last Paragraph of Chapter 2): 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.

Chapter 3: Real Conversations
Demyx yawned sitting up in bed. He was wearing a white tank with a pair of light blue knee length shorts. He looked at a wristwatch lying in the covers that read 8:15 A.M. Demyx fell back in bed snuggling up to his dolphin pillow groaning. Why did he have to get up so early? He pondered until he realized something and jolted up, Zexion was here! He smiled grateful from Axel's invitation to the suicidal shadowy figure.
He got up pulling off his socks, they had no heater in the house, so it got cold at night and hot as hell in the morning and opened the door closing it and tip toed past Axel and Roxas's room that contained light snoring. Demyx looked around scratching the top of his less spiked hair looking towards the kitchen to see Zexion fumbling around with some things. Demyx poked his head through a square in the wall; it was modified to look like a bar, due to an occasional guest (Larxene's) request. Demyx shook his head; he didn't really understand why they listened to her demands. When Zexion turned his head sideways he gave a half hearted wave.
"Yo."
Demyx smiled, "Morning. Why are you up so early?" he asked questioningly.
"The sun woke me up."
Demyx blinked, "Oh. Sorry about that, we still need to fix the guest room properly. There's a reason why it's so crappy."
"Oh?"
"We don't like our main guest of honor"
Zexion smirked laughing, it caused Demyx to go breathless. Was everything about this stranger perfect? Demyx shook his head; he couldn't believe what he was thinking!? He didn't want to be one of those people obsessive over their love. Even Riku and Sora weren't like that. All of a sudden Demyx blushed at his logic; love? How could he love Zexion after 3 small un-intelligent conversations?
Demyx blinked looking at Zexion who had been staring at him this whole time eating a plain waffle, "You space out a lot." Zexion commented, making Demyx laugh nervously, "Hehe. Sorry."
"No problem."
Demyx tapped his fingers on the bar, "So do you want to go anywhere? I'm sure Axel wouldn't want you cooped up here for the time you spend."
Zexion went silent, "Yeah..About that. With the pills…Sorry about that. Anyway..no not really. I don't' get out much."
Demyx looked over Zexion, feeling almost perverted and eye raping Zexion for he wore no shirt. But he couldn't help it; it was true what Zexion just stated, he was so thin, he might not go to the grocery store therefore not eat much. He also couldn't help not noticing Zexion's sharp angle frame…. Demyx brought his head up sharply pulling his gaze to Zexion's eyes nodding, "I see. Well it's just that-"
From the hall there was a yawn, Roxas walking in sleepily going to the fridge, "Gosh its so much quieter without Sora and Riku." He said tiredly waving to Zexion and Demyx. Demyx blinked, "Is Axel not getting up?" Roxas shook his head in the no direction, "Nope. He's too tired." Demyx gave Roxas a spectacle look making the blonde glare at him, "No we didn't have sex last night, god! The first night with a real guest?! Are you crazy?" he looked at Zexion, "If that does happen though, just tell us to get a room 'kay?" Roxas instructed, and then left for him and Axel's bedroom with a 2 liter of Sprite and some cereal.
Zexion looked back over at Demyx, "You were saying? It's just that…?" reminding Demyx where he left off. Demyx blinked and then realized what Zexion left, "Oh! That, well. Me and the guys usually go to this local festival called 'Amaya Festival' and I was wondering if you wanted to go cause it's in a couple of days."
Demyx could see the uncertainty in Zexion's eyes and tried to hide a frown, "You don't have to go if you don't want t-" Zexion held up a hand, "No it's okay. Just was thinking of something." Zexion smiled at Demyx, making him unsteady now, "I'll go."
-*-
Zexion couldn't believe what he had just agreed to but held his smile. Demyx smiled back, "Great! I'll tell Axel later." He stopped to yawn, "I'm just too tired right now, so I'm going to go back to bed. Later." And with that the blue eyed angel went back to his room groggily loosing all of his energy. Zexion gave a small laugh and finished the rest of his now cold waffle. There were a lot of strange people in this house held, but still. Zexion frowned; I don't think I can ever move on… he thought. He always went to spring festivals with Lexaeus, but since he died…Zexion thought he could hide under a rock forever and die. Zexion shook his head, no. He was going to go. Demyx made him…feel happy. No matter how strange the spiked blond was. Zexion laughed at his logic and went to sit on the couch turning on the T.V.
After a while Axel came through the hall rubbing the back of his head, his eyes closed and it looked like he was having a hangover. Zexion quickly turned off the T.V nervously which caused Axel's eyes to snap open and look over at the guest like a hawk.
"What the hell are you doing up so early?!" Axel asked shocked.
"I-I." Zexion didn't no what to say, "Sorry! I thought the T.V was too loud for you to sleep!" he confessed. Axel just stared at him dumbly and began to laugh.
"That's rich! No. Nothing can wake me up except for Roxy's whining."
"Oh." Zexion looked nervous as Axel went into the kitchen muttering to himself how there seemed to be nothing in the house, and then came back into the living room sitting down on a chair across from Zexion munching on some toast.
Zexion looked down his hair covering his face, not knowing what to say. He didn't like it when others stared at him, it made him feel uncomfortable.
"I can see it."
Axel's voice broke the silence like an anchor crashing though ice. Zexion looked up staring at Axel's green eyes, "What?"
"I can see it." Axel repeated.
Zexion became confused. See what? Was this supposed to be some kind of joke or a warning Axel as host was giving to him as a guest? He decided to risk asking.
"See what?"
Axel gave a small laugh, his lips twitched into a smile, "You will see." He said as he took a bite of his toast, "I think….." he said examining Zexion, who sat still like a statue not knowing what to do. Axel gave a nod, "Yup. It's going to happen. Strange isn't it?" he asked himself. Zexion looked half irritated, and even though Axel was his host, it didn't stop him, "What are you talking about?! See what?" he demanded.
Axel dismissed the question and went off topic, "Did Demyx invite you to the festival in a couple of days?" Zexion went a light shade of pink, what did this matter to Axel? "Y-Yeah. Why"
The red head gave a slow nod and finished down his toast, "Yeah..always happens there." Axel gave a shrug. "Night."
Zexion sat there dumb founded until he heard the creak of a bed showing that Axel was back under the covers. He walked back to the guest room pulling on a half tight half loose black shirt with white patterns on the sleeves, "What the hell is wrong with all these people?" he muttered under his breath.
-*-
Demyx thought he could go back to sleep but just couldn't. He was way too happy and energetic to go back to sleep. Zexion had agreed to go to the Amaya Festival with them which gave him a chance to hang outside of the house! He silently listened to the voices outside going on in the living room, and was also confused by Axel's words; What was he going to say to Zexion? Demyx sighed, things had become so complicated in the simplest ways. He picked up his original sitar; a blue one with white outlining and strummed it softly, I wander what I should get him.. Demyx thought. It was only right to get something for Zexion for the festival.
An idea popped into Demyx's head and he nodded "Perfect." It was something that required Roxas's help though…Demyx clenched his fists, he didn't want anyone to know about his developing crush on Zexion, Oh well. What has to be done, must be done. Demyx thought.
Editor's Notes: I'm pretty happy with this fanfiction ^^ I never thought I could come up with one but I did =D It's just that….What to do after this one is over right? _ My head can loose it's inspiration very quickly but anyway…yeah. Stay tuned for Chapter 4 =D (It will be coming out guaranteed, not by reviews) Oh something about this fanfic..my favorite part was the sentence where I put "eye raping" xD
Anyway…I think this chapter was kind of blah. I didn't really know how to start or end it, and I didn't want to skip time to someplace random _
AxelxRoxas Note: Again please read Chapter one, if you skipped to Chapter 3. 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.
