The Demyx Continuum: A Rose in the Water

Chapter 16: Death!

Saïx was surprised that Demyx had healed so quickly.

" Yeah, I guess you could go back with what you two were doing."

Demyx was so excited that he kissed Marluxia in front of Saïx.

"I said you could that...I didn't say to do it in front of me." Saïx replied.

"Sorry."

They ran out the room and went directly over to their bedroom and then over to the bed, where they made out.

Zexion was torn more than he had been in a long while; he didn't know what do with himself anymore. There was no point on existing any longer than he has.

"Marluxia would never want to be with me... he got the person he really wanted from when he had joined the organization. I mean nothing to him...nothing more than a best friend." Zexion sighed, then went to bed. He couldn't sleep at all that night. The next morning, he ate breakfast alone then went back to his room.

Marluxia was the first one awake. Demyx was sleeping on his shoulder and had his arm around his waist. Marluxia however, had his left hand under Demyx's neck and around his shoulder. Marluxia's right arm was around his lover's waist and was tracing the scar from Xemnas with his hand. He didn't want to move away from Demyx, because he had been away, relationship wise, from him.

Demyx woke up to Marluxia's hand tracing one of his scars and looked up at Marluxia.

"Good morning, love." Marluxia greeted when he felt Demyx's head moved to look at him.

"Good morning."

"Did you sleep well, last night?"

"Yes, the best."

"That is good... what do you say to breakfast?"

"Then we could back here?"

"Yes."

"All right then."

Zexion had closed a book he was reading and found some sleep when he sat up against the wall with the pictures he drew and then tore up. He was so out of it that everyone that had knocked on the door left in irritation. He woke up at noon, well rested and found a pile of letters at the foot of his door. A lot of them were from Luxord, wanting to talk about something he guessed. He just placed them in the trash without even opening them. He opened the rest of them, only to find out that they were the same as Luxord's letters. He went out to his favorite willow tree and climbed up it, from the side that no one could see him.

"What should I do to prove my love to him? He doesn't even notice me at times, but that is because he's with Demyx." Zexion sighed. "It's no use. I know I can't have him, so why am I even bothering to try. I don't want to piss Demyx off again... and I don't want Marluxia to tell him what we did either. So, I can't do anything with him, because either way. I'm dead." Zexion saw someone coming and stayed quiet.

"Axel, I'm sorry. I know I should've question about It." he heard Xaldin say.

"How am I supposed to be with you if you question everything about It? I told you that I had finally gotten over Roxas, and you come back and throw my relationship with him in my face. I just don't know what to do."

Zexion wrote some notes in the margins of the book he had been reading.

"Axel, I said I was sorry. Can you forgive me?"

"Yes, Xaldin I do... but if you keep bringing it up, we're through."

Xaldin looked ashamed of himself for saying something. "You keep telling me that, but you don't actually do it."
