Have fun!

Too Warm Summer

Demyx was having trouble at breathing. He was sitting under a tree and leaning quite heavily against the trunk of the tree. He kept his eyes closed and tried to concentrate at breathing. Axel wasn't sitting too far from him but most of things he was talking about went straight through Demyx's mind. Axel finally looked at his friend quite concerned. Demyx hadn't said a word for few hours. "Demmy?" He questioned worriedly. "You OK?" Axel asked and frowned a little.

Demyx glanced once at Axel and tried to get up. But his legs didn't work too well and with a slight gasp Demyx fell back down. "I… I can't breathe…" Demyx whispered with barely audible voice. Axel was startled and he tried to get closer to Demyx to help. Demyx gasped and scooted a little off from his friend.

"Demyx?" Axel asked now fully concerned about his friend. "What's wrong, Dem?" He asked. Demyx closed his eyes and opened his mouth few times without getting a word out. He swallowed hard before his voice came back.

"It's too hot…" He rasped. Axel blinked but come to think about it, the summer had been lot warmer than ever before. Axel took a little more space to Demyx since he realized that his body temperature would be like fire to Demyx's skin. Glancing around for help Axel started to think ways to help his friend.

He couldn't exactly bring any water, ice or anything else to cool Demyx's condition. It would whether melt in his hands or get too hot to give to Demyx. Axel finally took his phone out while trying to comfort his sweating friend.

"Roxas? Listen, I need help…" Axel told straight off. "Dem's in trouble… We're at the fir tree at the park. Get others here and take a car." Axel nearly commanded. It didn't take long before Axel ended the call and watched worriedly how his friend fought for his life.

Finally Roxas, Riku and Zexion came to there. "What's wrong with Dem?" Roxas asked straight off. Demyx looked up to see their friends and tried to smile a little but it really wasn't looking too good.

"Too much heat…" Axel whispered quietly. "We gotta get Demyx to somewhere cooler..." He continued. "I can't touch him… That's why I need your help." Axel said and started to pace.

Riku and Zexion helped Demyx up from the ground. "Come on Demyx, stay with us." Riku said worriedly. Axel followed his friends to the car. Roxas took the driver's seat and put the heater to as cool as possible. "Where to?" Riku asked worriedly while putting Demyx down to the back seat.

"My place… It has a swimming pool…" Axel replied and went to sit next to Roxas on the front. "Hang in there, Dem…" He whispered quietly while glancing at his friend. Demyx still couldn't do much nor had he strength to speak but the cool air did seem to help a little.

They drove a short way to a huge mansion. They were stopped at the gates. "I'm sorry but I can't let you in." The guard said while coming to the window.

"Oh, shut the fuck up and open the freaking gates!" Axel shouted angrily. The guard seemed to jerk a little by the outburst but nodded and went to open the door. Roxas drove in and parked the car nearly in front of the front door. "Follow me." Axel said and stepped out of the car.

Riku and Zexion helped once again Demyx out and followed the red head to the door. Axel opened the door as fast as he could and tried to stay as much off of the way as possible. "The pool's just through there." Axel said and pointed just across the living room. "It's indoor pool." Axel explained while closing the door after Roxas.

"Demyx would need something to drink. I'm fearing that he's having dehydration." Zexion said while carefully dragging Demyx through the living room. The Nocturne was leaning quite heavily at his friends. It was hard for him to stay conscious.

"The kitchen's over there." Axel said and pointed to right from the door. Roxas ran straight to there. Axel went to open the door to the pool. He moved off of the way right after he opened the door. "I hope the water's cool enough…" The red head whispered quietly.

Zexion let go of Demyx and tried the water. He nodded and Riku helped Demyx down to the water. Demyx gasped but smiled a little. The cool water was a really good difference for the too warm weather outside. Once fully on the water, Demyx dived once fully underwater and after coming back up to the surface he leaned against the wall of the pool. He smiled and looked around. "Thanks…" He whispered and closed his eyes to let the water cool his body.

"Demyx?" Zexion asked carefully and Demyx opened his eyes to look at his friend. "Why didn't you stay at your house at this kind of weather?" He asked curiously. Demyx chuckled a little.

"I left for a walk and it wasn't this hot at the time. Should've turned back to home when I felt to be slightly nauseas about the heat." Demyx replied, sighed and closed his eyes again. "But then I saw Axel and decided to hang out with him. We went to the beach for a while. It kinda helped on the warm weather. Then we left to walk back to the town and well… I was getting slightly worse but didn't mind about it that much. We sat down under the tree on the park and…"

He dived underwater again and came back to surface after a while. He moved his wet hair off of his face and smiled a little wider. "I tried few times to get up and leave but I couldn't. I wasn't feeling well enough and the heat had struck quite badly. Couldn't concentrate at Axel's talking nor could I talk that of much either… Hell, I always liked the fact that Axel's body is so freaking warm but… But then it was way too warm to be that close to him…" Demyx explained the situation to end.

Roxas came in. "Sorry that I took so much of time…" Roxas said while bringing the class of orange juice to Demyx. Demyx took the glass eagerly. "I kinda couldn't find what I could've brought here. Thought about water but… Well, don't think it to be that of good idea." Roxas explained.

Demyx emptied the glass quiet fast and gave it back to Roxas. "I'll be right back." Roxas said while nearly running out of the room back to kitchen. Demyx had pushed himself up to the edge of the pool. He had his arms crossed on the edge and looked around himself.

Suddenly he chuckled a little. "Don't think it's good idea to be fully clothed when in the pool." He mentioned off handedly. The tree blinked before laughing a little. Axel walked a little closer but still kept enough far from Demyx.

"Don't worry 'bout it. I don't give a damn about the water stuff and getting the pool dirty if it can save your life, Demmy." Axel said slightly chuckling. Demyx smiled at him and pushed himself fully up to the edge.

He sat there for a while before he took his shoes off. Then left the jeans, the shirt and other clothes. Down with his boxers, Demyx dived back to the pool. Axel chuckled a little, shook his head and walked next to the pool. Demyx seemed to have recovered enough from the near death experience.

Roxas came back with a trace of glasses of orange juice. "Thought everyone would like to have something to drink." Roxas explained. Demyx came to the surface, smiled at Roxas and swam back to them. Demyx took the next glass of juice with a happy nod. Roxas smiled and sat down to the floor. "So, you feeling better?" He questioned.

"Yeah, thanks guys." Demyx replied happily. "Gotta just remember next time that I can't take too much of heat or cold." He chuckled a little. Suddenly something came to his mind. "How's Vexen? He's an ice elemetarist after all." He asked slightly worried.

Zexion chuckled a little. "Don't worry about him. He hasn't left his house at all. Luckily he hasn't locked himself into a freezer or refrigerator or other cold place since I've called him several times to make sure he is alright…" Zexion explained and sat down next to the pool. "Though, I was getting quite worried about you, Demyx. You didn't answer to my calls nor were you at your house." Zexion continued little worriedly. Demyx chuckled a little.

"Sorry… My phone's battery died last evening and I forgot to recharge it. And I wasn't at home for several hours. Left out quite early in the morning." Demyx replied with a slightly sad smile. Zexion nodded.

"So… You're gonna be OK, Dem?" Axel asked worriedly. Demyx nodded with a smile. "That's good. I'd be happy if you stayed over just in case but I guess that would be too much asked… Especially by a freaking fire elemetarist, right?" Axel continued. Demyx thought for a while and sighed.

"I'd love to stay but… Well, don't get offended but… I think it won't be that of warm at the evening. Until then I could stay." Demyx answered. He really wasn't too happy to say that being around Axel for now was going to be way too hard. Axel nodded.

"Yeah, I understand. How about this… You guys stay over until evening. You three walk Demmy back home and we'll meet here tomorrow morning?" Axel asked. Others looked to think about it for a while. Well, everyone else except Demyx.

"That sounds perfect." Demyx said smiling. "Right guys?" He asked and glanced at the others. They nodded happily. "So, it's settled then. We'll go home for the night but come back tomorrow morning." Demyx said happily and pushed himself back up to the edge. He thought for a while about pulling Axel to the water but in the end decided against it for two reasons. One, the red head would freak out. And two, the flamer would heat the nicely cool water too much.

Demyx sighed, dived once again into the water but came quite quickly to the surface. He closed his eyes and leaned against the wall again. After a while he opened his eyes and looked straight at Axel. "I kinda hope you could join me in here…" He whispered slightly sadly.

Axel sighed but shook his head. "Sorry, I'm not gonna hurt you on this way." Demyx sighed too but knew what Axel was meaning. He nodded and turned to look at the others.

"You guys wanna join me?" He asked but got three no answers. Demyx sighed but chuckled. "Okay, some other time then." He whispered slightly sadly.

By the evening the weather had died down a little and Demyx managed to walk back home. Luckily the weather stayed quite normal through the night and the Nocturne managed to sleep through it. Early at the next morning, before the heat of the day, Demyx met with others in front of Axel's home. This time the three of them were ready for the pool. Axel would've loved to join them in the water but refused because he knew he would just change the water to be too warm.

The rest of the summer went mostly at Axel's house. They played around the pool but went outside once in a while too. But they never stayed there for too long to make sure the earlier incident wouldn't re-happen.

THE END
