The Demyx Continuum: A Rose in the Water

Chapter 8: Their Secret is Out

Demyx woke up in the morning with Marluxia's arm over his waist. Demyx rolled over and kissed Marluxia on the lips, it was a long one. Demyx hadn't kissed him like this since Marluxia had kissed him before he left for a mission. When Demyx broke the kiss Marluxia woke up.

"Good morning, love." Demyx said.

"Good morning." Marluxia said with a little yawn. " How late is it?"

"Very late." Another voice said. Demyx and Marluxia looked over to see Zexion.

"Zexion?" Demyx asked.

"Yes."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came looking for Marluxia... these flowers are the same ones I found in his room."

"Zexion, what do you want?" Marluxia asked.

"I need your help. I have a flower that is underfed I want to know what I could use to get it healthy."

"All you need to do is water it for a few days. Then plant it in a bigger pot." Marluxia answered.

"I tried that, it didn't work."

"It is probably dying, then. What kind of flower is it?"

"An Orchid."

" Yeah, their season is just ending. So I'm not surprised that you came to me."

"I am though." Demyx stated.

"Why's that?"

" The obvious. Are you two dating?"

"Excuse me?" Demyx asked.

"Are you two dating?"

Marluxia and Demyx looked at each other.

"What makes you ask that?" Demyx asked.

"I'm just wondering...because I saw you kiss him."

"You ...What!!!!?"

"Don't' play stupid. You heard what I said."

"So I kissed him so what... it wasn't our first."

" So you are dating?"

"No... it's an experiment." Demyx said.

"An experiment on dating?"

"Dem, why don't we just tell him. He already saw us."

"Fine, Mar, do you want me to tell or you?"

Zexion looked at the flowers again and tried to name them.

"I'll tell him." Demyx said sitting up. "Those are lilies and roses."

"Oh... so..."

"Yes, Zexion, we are. We're a happy couple. Ok?"

Zexion's eyes widen. "You two are gay!?"

"Yes."

"But you told Lexaeus you weren't."

"I lied to him."

"How long, have you been going out?"

"Since we came back from finding Axel."

"That'll explain why you weren't yourself yesterday."

"Yes."

"Axel was also acting strange... I think he should hear this."

"He knows, he was the first one to know."

"Did you tell him?"

"No, he found out himself." Demyx said.
