Again...don't hurt me. See? Not the end! Another chapter!
"Zex?" He heard the door open and he looked up. His eyes wouldn't focus. He could only see blonde hair coming at him.
Thank god. That was all just a dream. A horrible dream. We're still together. We still love each other. I didn't throw him away. I wouldn't because I love him. And now he's coming in here because he loves me and wants me to hold him.
"Dem?" He asked back, barely raising his head up.
"No. Cloud. Tifa told me to come get you." Zexion groaned loudly and flipped back, pushing his face into his pillow.
"Go away. I'm trying to sleep."
"You've been sleeping for hours. Your parents want you to come down for dinner."
"Dinner?" Zexion asked quietly.
"I said you've been asleep for hours. Come on."
"No. I'm still tired. I'm fucking sleeping. Get out."
"Zexion. Tifa told me to come get you. Now get out of your fucking bed."
"If she wanted me so bad why didn't she just come up here to get me herself?" Zexion asked bitterly as he hugged his pillow tighter.
"Because Tifa can't do this." Cloud mumbled as he scooped Zexion up and tossed him over his shoulder.
"CLOUD! GOD DAMMIT PUT ME DOWN!" The significantly smaller boy screeched but Cloud only chuckled as he made his way towards the stairs. Zexion fruitlessly tried to push himself off, tried to kick Cloud in the stomach, tried to wriggle away but eventually, he just gave up.
So this is what it's come to.
He slumped and weighed heavily on his cousin's shoulder, but Cloud didn't even notice. He was just thankful Zexion had finally stopped thrashing around.
"Well look who's finally up!" Tifa laughed as Cloud set a steaming Zexion down in a chair. He glared at his sister who's smile merely grew. "Finally. Now we can eat."
"Yes Zexion. That was very rude to sleep all day when you had company." Their aunt said loudly as she took a small bite of her vegetables. Everyone looked down the table at her except for Zexion and Demyx. The two brothers were now busy looking at each other. Their eyes met and they couldn't take them away, no matter how much it hurt to look at each other.
"I had a long night." Zexion said loudly, his eyes still locked with his brother's. Their aunt lifted her head slowly and looked down at him.
"That is not an excuse."
"Sure it is. I had a long night. A long night that didn't involve sleep. Which is why I slept all day." Zexion continued to grudgingly explain, still not looking at her.
"Zexion, please." His mother begged quietly.
"Young man if you're going to speak to me, have the decency to look at me." Zexion slowly turned his head to scowl at his aunt. "Now just where were you last night?"
"I don't think that's any of your fucking business."
"Zexion!" His mother gasped and looked at her sister with horror.
"I demand that you tell me."
"You are not my parent or legal guardian and if you were I would kill myself. Because you're a miserable old fucking hag who hates everyone who isn't just like her. Especially faggots right? Because they're the scum of the earth? The only reason you hate them is because they're getting sex and you're not. That's where I was last night. Getting hot fucking gay sex. Because I'm gay. I like men. I like dick." Zexion threw his chair back and stood up at the table. "And so is Demyx! And so is Tifa! And they're your family! So what's the fucking congregation gonna think about this?! A wholesome christian woman who has queers in her family. But you probably don't tell anyone. Just like you don't tell anyone how you fucking abuse your children! Your own fucking daughter is terrified of you! Her brother is the only one close to her who cares about her! You're just a weak fucking coward who wants control over someone smaller and weaker than you. You fucking bitch."
No one said a word. No one interrupted his rant. No one moved at all when he was finished. Not when he stomped away, not when they heard the front door slam, not when they heard the car speeding away from the house. No one looked at each other. And then it was too much. And Tifa and Demyx looked up and caught each other's eye. And they both started laughing. And their mother glared at them until they looked her in the eye too and she started laughing. And their father who sat there in shock, not knowing what to say, started laughing. Cloud and Namine glanced at each other across the table and tried hard to hold it in. And their mother just sat there, bubbling, seething over, about to burst.
"This is how you raise your children." She hissed at her sister and she stopped laughing. She looked down the table at her sister, the one who made her change and tormented her and judged her.
"Yes. I raised my children to be honest and open." Zexion's mother said and shrugged, trying not to laugh anymore. The aunt stood slowly and glared at her sister.
"How did it manage that all your children are homosexual and insane and mine are perfectly normal? What did you do wrong Lulu?"
"Oh shut up. We are not normal. You tried to beat the complexities out of us but you know what? You're not doing this anymore. To me. And especially not to Namine." Cloud stood and stared at his mother. Not with anger or sadness. He just stared as if stating a fact.
"LeBlanc...I think it would be best if you left." Lulu said as she slowly stood. Her sister continued to scowl at her until finally she walked to the door and left. Lulu looked at her niece and nephew. "Well...you're more than welcome to stay here! Right Laguna?" Lulu looked to her husband who nodded with wide eyes, still trying to figure out what just happened. Tifa leaned back in her chair and smiled at her parents.
"And that's why we let Zexion sleep as long as he wants."
"Enormous bitch fits." Demyx added with a nod.
So it's finally revealed! Their parents are Lulu and Laguna and the aunt is LeBlanc! Enoooormous bitch fits. I'm just like Zexy! Haha.
