The Demyx Continuum: A Rose in the Water

Chapter 7: Demyx and His Relationship with Marluxia

Marluxia was overjoyed, when he walked into his room after he had returned from the mission with Demyx. He didn't care if anyone knew about what happened after they had left. He knew that he got what he wanted and it was real to him. Although he knew that Demyx probably wouldn't show it around the others, he knew that they would never know that him and Demyx were going out. He wanted to keep that a secret for as long as possible, even if it meant saying that what they were doing was an 'experiment'. He knew that although it was to explore a rather different side of him, he knew that this was what he wanted. Like Axel, he was frozen when he heard about Demyx's injury. However, he had cared far too much about Demyx even before that.

Demyx was thrilled to be back in his room, after his mission with Marluxia. Although he didn't like the idea of sleeping alone in his room, so he stayed up and wrote in another journal, which was separate from the one he was doing for Axel. He wrote about his day went with Marluxia and what they did. He had written down what he would've felt...if he could've felt any feelings towards Marluxia. He wrote down his thoughts of the events and of how they were handled with the thought of Zexion in his mind, since he knows that he loves Marluxia more than he did. However, while he was doing this, there was a knock on his door. He quickly hide the journal, somewhere where only he could find it; then he went to the door and answered. The person standing on the other side of the door was Marluxia. He stepped aside quickly and let him in.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Axel had caught me on my way over here."

"That is okay. Why did you come this way? You could've came through your portal."

"I didn't want anyone to think I ran off on another mission."

"Oh."

Demyx changed into his pajama bottoms and got into bed. Marluxia did the same, but instead of falling asleep, they talked.

"I'm curious..."

"About what?"

"What were you trying to do? I heard you running around in a panic."

Demyx was silent for a while, trying to think of a way to get himself out of this mess. However, he decided not to lie to Marluxia.

"I was hiding a journal. I thought you were someone else, so I panicked. I ran to a spot and hid it."

" Why were you hiding the journal you are going to show Axel?"

"I wasn't. It is another journal."

"Oh. What did it contain?"

" Us."

Marluxia didn't need to press this matter further. He understood perfectly.

"What was in it that pertained to us?"

"Our time together and things that I would feel if we could feel."

"How touching? You are writing about us. That is so touching."

"Yeah, I know."

"Where'd you hide it?"

"I'm not saying. It is my personal journal about us. You and everyone else don't need to see it."

"Jeez, Demy. That hurt. I'll just leave your personal things alone."

"I'm sorry, Marly, but I'm sticking with what I said." Demyx kissed Marluxia on the check.

"That was what I was doing, before I was on my way down here. So, you could keep whatever you would feel about me to yourself and I'll keep what I would feel about you then." Marluxia returned the kiss.

"Good night."

"Good night."

Demyx woke up early next morning and found that Marluxia had fallen to the floor. He looked down and Marluxia didn't seem to realize that he had fallen off. Demyx went over to the spot where he had hid his journal and then went over to his thinking corner. He then opened the journal and continued writing where he had left off. He looked over at Marluxia and stared at him. When he was done writing he placed his journal back, went to change, then wrote a note to Marluxia on where to find him. He then grabbed his stereo and a CD. He soon found a place where only Marluxia could find him. He put in the CD and danced to the first four songs, by the time the fifth song was on Marluxia found him.
