Bad Day, Good Day Chapter 5
A/N: I'm so sorry! This chap is so late! I won't tell you about how I had to go to the doctor, or about that moving my aunts' things to their new condo, or the whole rat-in-the-house situation, or the half-writers' block that I had. Instead, I will out it in one simple sentence. My internet crashed. Again. But, to make up for that, I made a long (ish?) chapter. Bon appetite!
P.S.-I made this while sugar high, if it doesn't make sense, I'm sorry.
Recap: "Oh my god. Zexion likes Demyx. And Demyx likes Zexion back. Crap, I gotta go tell Rox. Bye, thanks for the info. Roxas!" Axel ran back towards the group.
"What?" Roxas half-screamed.
"Shh! No one else knows about this! Except you!... And all the other nurses in this hospital… But that doesn't matter!" Axel whispered.
"What doesn't matter?" Riku leaned in from behind Axel.
"Crap! Don't do that kind of shit to me! I could have a heart attack!"
"What kind of shit?" Sora turned around from the door.
And Axel said the first word that came to mind.
"Crap."
((Axel tells what he heard from the nurses!))
"What?" Now it was Sora's turn to be surprised. Riku quickly shut Sora up with his hand. "Mmphs mm mmph mmph phmyx?" (Translation: 'Zexion's in love with Demyx?')
"I know, it was so cute! They look like they're perfect for each other, and they don't even notice!" A red-haired nurse giggled past them.
"Mm! I know! Zexion and Demyx! We'll call it; Operation: Zemyx!" A blonde-haired nurse replied. Both girls squealed so high only dogs could hear.
"Excuse me, ladies, but I seem to have overheard your conversation from my spot over there." Axel stepped forward smoothly. " 'Operation: Zemyx' You say? Would you two lovely ladies let me and my friends help?" Axel smiled his 100-dollar smirk. "Because we four happen to be very acquainted with Demyx."
"Well, we do need the help… Okay!" Both nurses replied at the same time.
"Great! I'm Axel," The redhead pointed to himself, "That's Riku," he pointed towards the silver haired man standing behind the two brothers, plotting their revenge on their neighbour's cat; it had stolen far too many bowls of ice cream for far too long. "And those two cuties there are Sora," the redhead pointed to the brunet, "And Roxas." He pointed to the last member of the group. "Oh, and for no complications, we're all gay." The redhead held out his hand. "So, with no further ado, welcome to our little group!"
"Thanks!" Both nurses replied and shook all of their hands. "My name's Kairi, and this is my sister, Naminé." The redheaded girl replied happily.
"Alright, so, what's the plan?" Axel asked after the shaking of hands.
"Usually, our sisters make the plans, we just support other stuff, like the parts they can't fill in." Kairi said.
"Well then, where do we meet?" Riku asked.
"Hmm… How about at that new café, Neverwas? Let's meet there at 11:00 tomorrow?" Kairi said.
"Alright then! Operation: Zemyx is a go!" Sora bounced to his feet. "Riku! I just got a text from Olette! She said that if you buy a burger, they give you an extra-large cup of soda down at Greek's! C'mon, let's go!" Sora pulled his best friend to his feet. "C'mon! I can hear the extra-large soda and burger!" Sora tried dragging his friend, but, considering Riku's age difference and size, Sora failed horribly.
"Yup. I can hear them too, they're screaming for help." Riku teased.
"Ri-ku!" With one last burst of strength they all didn't know Sora had, he half-dragged, half-ran Riku and himself out the door.
"They really like each other, don't they?" Naminé smiled.
"Yeah, they do." Axel smiled wistfully.
"Well, see you tomorrow, boys." Kairi joked.
((Time lapse!))
11:00 a.m., Neverwas Café
"Hey!" Kairi and Naminé walked up to them. "These are our sisters, Larxene, Aerith and Tifa."
"Where are Zexion, Demyx and Sora?" Naminé asked.
"English project thing." Riku said sipping his drink.
Axel smirked, but was cut off by Larxene. "So, pretty boy, how'd you find out?"
Riku sputtered. "I- I- uhhm- uhh… H- How would you know, anyway!" He managed to choke out.
"Because, o dense one, we're in all the same classes, and that 'Sora' guy isn't in any of our classes." Larxene and Tifa laughed. Riku blushed a scarlet even darker than Axel's hair, if such a thing was possible.
"Oh you poor, poor, innocent, dense little boy." Tifa pet Riku's head, making him sputter even more.
"Hey, hey, shouldn't we talk about the plan?" Kairi tried to intervene. Riku silently gave her a look of thanks. Kairi nodded in response
"Whatever. Okay, let's start." Tifa said.
A few hours later…
"You all got that?" Larxene said.
A chorus of "Yes." was their reply. True, they had to wait until Halloween, which was a few months away, but it was fullproof.
The next day...
"Hello Riku, may I sit here?" Aerith walked up to Riku the next day.
"Hmm? Oh sure, I'm just waiting for Sora and the others." Riku said, glancing towards the doors for a second.
"Well, everyone except Sora, Demyx and Zexion know about the plan, and we decided to keep it that way, you know how Sora is with secrets." Aerith casually said to Riku.
Riku nodded. "Mm, true. He never keeps a secret in for longer than a week at the most."
"Riku!" A (flying?) brown… thing raced over to Riku and tackled him to the ground. "Hi Riku!" Sora smiled. Riku blushed a deep red, not as deep as the one in the café, but close enough. "Oh my god! Riku can't breathe! I'm sorry!" Sora got up almost immediately, apologizing twenty times a second. (Haha. It's like I'm the queen of exaggerations.) "Who're you?" Sora looked up to Aerith with his big blue eyes.
"Hey! Who's the cutie?" A girl with black hair walked up to them with a blonde who had… antennae sticking out of her head.
"Hi I'm Sora!" Sora looked up. Again. 'Damn you tall people!' Sora winced at the height difference.
"My name is Aerith." The lady with the braided brown hair smiled sweetly at him. Sora decided he liked her. "And these are my sisters, Tifa and Larxene." Aerith gestured towards the two girls standing beside her. The girl with the blonde hair-Larxene, Sora assumed- smiled darkly at him. Sora decided never to go anywhere with her alone. The one with black hair-Tifa, Sora assumed again- looked at him top to bottom before nodding and whispering something in her sisters ear. Sora decided she was… okay, at best.
A few months later…
The day before Halloween, Neverwas Café 11:00 a.m.
"Okay, so we all meet at Sora and Roxas' house later-" Riku started.
"-And we all sleep over at our house!" Sora grabbed Roxas from Axel's grip and hugged him tightly.
"Sor. A. Can't. Breathe." Roxas managed to choke out.
"Oops! Sorry!" Sora released a blue-faced Roxas, making him stumble and fall on Axel's lap.
"Ow… Fuck that hurt." Roxas mumbled into Axel's chest. ( They're best friends right?)
"Riku, is it okay if I sleep over at your house tonight?" Sora clung onto a slightly blushing Riku(he finally managed to control his blushes… a bit.)
Riku raised his eyebrow. "Sora, we'll see each other tomorrow night anyway, so why?"
"Roxas looks like he wants to kill me." Sora mumbled into Riku's neck.
"Sora, you know he doesn't like killing. He'll probably castrate you at worst." Riku smiled at his best friend(slash crush) and pet his head.
"Muu, Riku, that's not helping!" Sora pouted.
"But it is true, isn't it?" Riku smirked.
"Well yeah… But he wouldn't do that! …Right?" Sora bit his lip.
"Why wouldn't he?" Riku asked.
"'Cause I'm older than him!" Sora smiled brightly.
"Sora?" Riku looked at Sora in disbelief and doubt.
"Yeah?" Sora smiled at him.
"You do know that that's not going to stop him, right?" Sora furrowed his eyebrows, frowning a little.
"Yes, I know it won't stop him, so that's why I'm sleeping over at your house!" Sora half-heartedly punched Riku's chest.
"Fine." Riku sighed. 'Anything for you, Sora.' Riku thought.
"Yay!" Sora hugged him tighter.
That night…
"I can't believe you got Zexion to come! That's awesome Demyx!" Sora cheered. "Now that we're all here, we can have the traditional Caramel Apple Soup!" Sora bounced.
Now the five girls, Naminé, Kairi, Aerith, Tifa and Larxene, had a sixth sense of sorts, and knew that they had to hide and cover their ears.
"Uhh… We have to go to the… uhh… bathroom." Aerith stood up and walked towards the general direction of the bathroom, followed by Larxene, Tifa, Naminé and Kairi.
"Girl problems." Kairi said bluntly.
"Forgive me for asking, but what is Caramel Apple Soup?" Zexion asked everyone else in the room.
"You don't know what Caramel Apple Soup is?" Demyx looked shocked.
"Should I?" Zexion asked.
"You should!" Sora pushed his face in front of Zexion's, making him back into Demyx's chest.
"You will!" Demyx said from behind Zexion, making him yelp in surprise. Demyx slid (Yes, slid) over beside Sora.
"Oooooooooooh~!" Demyx and Sora sang.
"Take cover!" Roxas managed to shout out before he was kidnapped by Axel behind the couch. Riku just sat on the couch.
"Caramel Apple Soup!" Sora sang.
"The best soup you'll ever taste!" Demyx spun in a small circle, pointing towards Zexion after he spun (Like before you fight Demyx, he summons his sitar and spins, pointing at you.).
"Caramel Apple Soup!" Sora climbed onto a nearby table.
"This soup never goes to waste!" Demyx helped push Sora up on the table, and climbed on.
"You can use it like a hat!" Sora pulled out a hat from behind Demyx.
"How does it do that?" Demyx inquired.
"Who knows?" Sora shrugged.
"Who cares!" Demyx raised his arms.
"You sir, you sir!" Sora pointed to Zexion.
"Me sir? Who sir?" Demyx asked.
"No not you sir, that sir, that sir!" Sora pointed to Zexion again.
Zexion smirked. 'Judging by the others' reactions, they must not like this song.' So he played along just to annoy them. "Who sir, who sir?" He tapped Demyx's shoulder in a questioning manner. "Who's asking for me sir?"
"What? Oh no Zexion, don't tell me that you're going in with this too!" Roxas whispered into his walkie-talkie.
"Don't worry, they're getting closer; It's part of the plan." The walkie-talkie answered with Tifa's voice.
"Killing our eardrums are part of the plan?" Axel hissed into the walkie-talkie.
"Reach into the pocket of the walkie-talkie, there are earphones, put them on." Tifa's voice, yet again, ordered them.
"Fine." The redhead sighed.
Demyx smiled. 'I knew you had it in you to not reject our ways!' "He sir, he sir, he's asking for you sir!" He pointed towards Sora, who was halfway across the room.
Zexion walked over to Sora and tapped his shoulder. "Hello sir." Sora turned around. "Hello sir, I've heard you were looking for me sir, me sir?"
"Yes sir, yes sir! I was looking for you sir!" Sora shook his hand vigorously, as if meeting for the first time.
"Why sir, pray tell, why for me sir?" Zexion raised his visible eyebrow.
"The queen! The queen! Has invited you, sir, to her royal ball today, tonight, sir!" Sora pulled a napkin out of his pocket, smoothed it out and handed it to Zexion, who accepted it gratefully.
Demyx hurried past them. "Oh no, dear me, must hurry, must hurry!"
Zexion caught the crook of his elbow, stopping Demyx from passing him. "My, my, you seem to be in a hurry, my good man." Zexion pat Demyx's shoulder in a friendly manner.
"I'm late for my dinner, old chap!" Demyx said in a false British voice. (Again, sugar high, people, these words hardly make any much sense to me right now. I'm sorry.)
"Dear, now that must be a shame, what were you having for dinner?" Sora asked.
"Caramel Apple Soup, why?" Demyx said.
"The blessed Caramel Apple Soup?" Sora gasped.
"Well then, come over to my house to have some Caramel Apple Soup, then, my fellow men!" Demyx said, raising his index finger in the air, then collapsing in a fit of laughter. "I can't hold it in anymore! Ahahahahaha! Let's do this again some other time!" Demyx tried to stand up by pulling on one of Sora's legs, but instead, pulled him down, laughing all the way. Zexion smiled. He could get used to this.
The next day…(Yeah, I'm using that a lot this chapter, huh?)
"That sleepover was the best! Wasn't it, Zexi?" Demyx smiled at his new roommate. They had all agreed to be roommates when they played Truth or Dare and Zexion admitted that he was looking for a roommate to share the rent with. Demyx thought that was a great idea, so there they were, off to Zexion's apartment, soon to be shared.
A/N: Okay, I admit, this was a bit rushed. Sorry. I'm out.
