The Demyx Continuum: Water Extinguish Fire (Book 4 of 5?)

Chapter 10: Dwindling Marriage and a Broken Relationship

Three months later, Demyx found himself in his room while Axel was out on a mission with someone other than him; which seemed to be the case more so then usual lately. This was good right now, because he didn't want to be anywhere near Axel at the moment. His thoughts ran back to Zexion again, then like the sound of lightning he heard a commotion outside of his door and a floor below him. He came out of his room and ran down and saw Zexion running after Marluxia for some reason.

"Mar! Please don't do this!" Zexion begged in a shaky voice.

Marluxia turned around. "Don't do... you brought it upon yourself, Zexion, when you started acting like him. I should've called it off when I first noticed."

"Mar...please...don't..." Zexion fell to his hands and knees at Marluxia's feet, unaware that they had an audience watching. Wet tears were now streaming from his face. He looked up at Marluxia. "Please...don't...I'll throw them out...I will. I'll throw that radio and CD out. But don't...please."

Marluxia and their audience were shocked to see Zexion actually and literally crying at Marluxia feet.

"No, Zexion, we're done. You and I had all our chances with each other. We're through." Marluxia moved away from Zexion and walked off.

Zexion got up and followed him.

"You don't mean that literally...Mar, please..." Zexion replied as he ran after Marluxia.

"It doesn't sound like they're going to go back out with each other ever again." Demyx heard Axel reply.

"How was your mission?" Demyx asked, trying to distract himself from what just took place.

"It was alright. Did you have enough time to think through whatever it is that is troubling you?"

"I'm getting it narrowed down...but still haven't figured it out yet." Demyx then started to walk back to their room as he felt Axel follow him.

When they were behind their closed door, Demyx turned around and sighed. "I have a general idea on what it might be...but you're going to hate it."

"Try me..." Axel stated.

"I...I think...what Anora said during that mission of Zexion's...is..."

"You think that you're being affected by what Anora said about Zexion coming to tell you his deep secret?" Axel asked.

"Yes. That's what I think."

"Dem you heard her as well as I did. 'When the one you are with is gone he will come to you and tell you what he is hiding'. We won't know if it's true unless he does tell you, but he won't tell you as long as I'm here. Don't you get it Demyx...this secret of his is only meant for you to hear and only you...not me or anyone else. This might be the very same reason why Marluxia had broken up with him...because either Zexion let it slip or Marluxia figured it out."

"Come on, let's go to bed." Demyx said, not wanting to talk about Zexion more.

Like normal for the past year, Axel was the first one asleep. Demyx was wake thinking about what had happened between Zexion and Marluxia. When he did finally gone to sleep, he had kept waking up. The next morning, he woke up to the sunlight hitting him across the face. Axel was already up and gone, for whatever purpose or reason Demyx didn't know or cared at the moment. He then got dressed and he heard Akinson talking to Marluxia.

"Alright...I guess I'll just go ask dad or father on where he is."

"Why do you need to find him so bad?"

"I would like to talk to him, that's all...after all he is my uncle."

He opened the door and found Zexion sitting there, but then Zexion quickly realized something and got up quickly.
