The Demyx Continuum: Drowning the Rose (Book 2 of 5?)

Chapter 14: Demyx's Confession of Love

 Axel and Demyx made their way back to the kitchen to finish their food, but when they got there their food was gone. So they decided to go back to the room and Axel decided to take a shower. By the time that Axel got out of the shower, Demyx was fast asleep. Axel only laughed at him as he got into bed and fell asleep himself.

Demyx was the first one up in the morning, like he had been with Marluxia. He had found himself on Axel again. He went up and kissed Axel on the lips, but unlike Marluxia...Axel stayed asleep. Demyx then got up and went over to the table and sat in the chair and watched Axel sleep. There were a few things that he noticed that was different from Marluxia; one of them was that Axel was a heavy sleeper. He didn't wake at all, even if Demyx had tried to make out with him. A second thing was that Axel moved almost every hour on the hour. The third thing that he noticed was that it looked like Axel has a lot on his mind. However, it only showed when he is asleep. Lastly, Demyx noticed that even though Axel was peaceful something seemed to be bothering him. Demyx didn't know what to think, but it looked like that Axel was aware that someone was watching him sleep.

An hour before the breakfast doors opened, Axel woke up with a feeling that someone was watching him sleep. He went over to kiss Demyx, but noticed that he was over at the table instead of sleeping next to him.

"What are you doing up so early?" Axel asked.

"Early?" Demyx asked. "It's an hour before breakfast, I've been up for four hours. I was watching you sleep."

"Well that answers my question on that."

"You know...I've noticed a few things that are different between you and Marluxia."

"Yeah...what's that?"

" Well, one you're a deep sleeper. Two you move almost every hour on the hour. Three, it looks like you have a lot on your mind...and lastly, it seems like something is bothering you."

Axel laughed. "You couldn't have noticed all that in the short amount of time that you were up. Could you?"
Demyx laughed this time. "Yes, sweetie, I can."

"Then I can't hide anything from you."

"So I was right, something is bothering you."

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"It's something that Riku had told us."

"Yeah."

"Yeah...you know, when he said that he saw Marluxia?"

"Yes, I do. What about it?"

"What if Marluxia really is alive?"

" Axel, that is impossible. You and I both saw him fade, how could he fake that?"

"I don't know, Demyx, but I feel as though he had."

"If he had then why would he put me through what he had?"

"May be because he saw that I loved you and was willing to wait, unlike Zexion...I mean, his anklets and ring wasn't damaged... but his necklace was. Doesn't it seem odd, that only his necklace was damaged in a fist-fight?"

Demyx caught on to where Axel was getting at. "Now that you mention it, it does seem odd. But he probably knew that he was going to fade, so he took them off."

"What if he had struck the argument that brought on the fight?"

"No, he wouldn't do that...didn't you see the look on Paris' face, when Marluxia started to fade?"

"No I didn't."

"He was shocked and confused at what was happening. I don't think that Paris had realized that he had hurt Marluxia that bad to kill him. I think Paris was only trying to hurt him as he had been hurt, when Marluxia ran away from him."
