The Demyx Continuum: A Rose in the Water

Chapter 14: The Commitment and a Broken Soul

 Zexion woke up a few hours later from his visit from Demyx and headed down to the kitchen. He was still in his bedclothes and was waking up still; he grabbed something quick to eat. But it took him about an hour to eat it. He looked over at the entryway and saw Marluxia enter followed by Demyx. He stopped eating and stared at Marluxia with adoring eyes, hoping that they would come over to his table to eat. But as usual, they went over to their table and eat. He watched them eat...especially Marluxia, since he was facing him. Then Demyx pulled out something and gave it to Marluxia. He noticed it was the paper that he had given Demyx earlier this morning, he felt himself blush a little and he quickly looked away before Marluxia made eye contact with him. Zexion hurried up with his breakfast, rushed out of the room, and went to his room. When he did enter his room, he found Lexueas there waiting for him.

"Hi." Lexaeus greeted.

"Lexaeus? What are you doing in here? I thought I told you wait outside the door if I'm not in here." Zexion replied.

"Now that isn't a nice greeting... yes I know you did, you told everyone that. I am sorry to barge like this, I'll be leaving on a mission soon and I don't have much time."

"What you want to talk about then?" Zexion went over to his dresser and sat down to find a shirt.

"I heard what happened..."

Zexion got up and went straight to him.

"Whatever you heard about me, you better keep it quite."

"I heard you were talking to Demyx earlier this morning about Marluxia."

"How do you know about that?"

"Larxene. She came to talk to you, but she saw Demyx there. She said that you..."

"Get out!!"

"Bu..."

"I said get out."

"Jeez, Zexion. You don't need to be rude."

"What I said earlier this morning was only for Demyx to hear. It wasn't supposed to be heard by anyone else. Now get out."

"Come on now, why can't you at least explain?"

"I'm not in the mood." Zexion took Lexaeus' arm and forced him to the door. "Get out!!" He repeated. He moved to grab Lexaeus' arm again, but Lexueas ran out.

"Whatever you heard about me you better keep it quite!!!" Zexion yelled after him then slammed the door shut. He got dressed in a hurry, then stormed out to find Larxene. He went to her room and pounded on her door furiously.
"Larxene! Open up! We need to talk now!"

The door opened up and Larxene's face went form excitement to dread in the matter of seconds.

"Hey Zexion, come on in." She knew why he came, so she stepped aside. So he could come in. Zexion entered the room and turned to look at Larxene.

"We need to talk." Zexion repeated.

"About what?"

"Don't pull that blonde crap with me. Lexueas just told me that you overheard what I told Demyx."

"Oh..."

"How many people did you tell?"

"What do you mean...?"

"How many people."

"Everyone."

"Everyone! Larxene! Why?"

Larxene didn't respond.

"Why Larxene!?"

Larxene still didn't respond. Zexion walked away and felt like hitting something, however he only turned his back on her and tried to calm down.
