Getting into bed after he made sure that he set his alarm for the coming morning he climbed in under the covers and then brought them up to his chin. Rolling onto his right side he turned off the light that was on his side of the room and closed his eyes as he let his mind drift a little bit. He wondered briefly what the doctor would say about Demyx, but it would do him no good for him to dwell on that now. He let his mind drift a little bit more and soon he was asleep.
|
Demyx watched as Zexion turned the light out before sighing quietly to himself. Looks like he wasn't going to get the chance to say goodnight... He shrugged it off before turning the light on his side of the bed off. He rolled over and wrapped an arm around his shorter lover and closed his eyes. He must have been more tired than he thought because the moment his head hit the pillow, he was out. His dreams were filled with psychotic doctors who wanted to do demented tests on him mixed with Vexen's creepy laughter. So needless to say, he didn't get a very good night's sleep.
|
Zexion continued to sleep through the rest of the night, but he woke up with a start when he felt someone tighten their grip around his waist. Opening his eyes he blinked a few times, and looked around in the pitch blackness of the room. Why had he woken up? Had he heard a noise? He strained his ears to see if there was someone in the house. He then heard a soft moan, and he turned his head to hear that Demyx was moaning quietly in his sleep. Was the other having a bad dream. He winced again when he felt the arms that were around him tighten around his waist squeezing him tightly. His first reaction was to wake the other up, but then he thought of what would happen if the other didn't recognize him in his awakened state. He wriggled a little bit so that Demyx loosened his arms around him, and closed his eyes again as he willed himself to sleep.
|
Demyx woke up quickly when he felt Zexion moving in his arms. He blinked a few times to wake himself up completely and he looked around the dark room blankly. By the time he got his bearings, an uncomfortable feeling twisted in his stomach when he realized how tight he was holding the shorter Nobody. What if he was hurting him? He quickly loosened his arms and rolled over to that his back was facing his lover. He laid there for a long moment before sitting up. He was very uncomfortable all of a sudden and needed to stretch his legs. He moved quietly, not wanting to wake Zexion up, just in case.
|
Zexion woke up a second that night, feeling oddly cold and alone. Glancing around the room he noticed that he didn't hear the others rhythmic breathing. Blinking his eyes a few times to rid him of his sleepiness he looked around for any sign of his blonde nobody lover. Deciding that he wasn't getting anywhere in his search by lying around he got up and padded quietly across the carpeted floor to the door. Once in the hallway he strained his ears so he could hear the slightest sound of the other male. He looked down the hallway and noticed that one of the lights were on downstairs. Clambering down the stairs he peaked his head into the kitchen. He didn't find anyone there. He was about to head up the stairs when he heard his stomach growl loudly. Apparently, he was hungry. He did always eat at odd hours of the night. Walking into the kitchen he tried to be as quiet as possible as he opened up the fridge. He noted that they needed a lot of groceries and other things. They could get more though, especially since he was going to the store to get food for the guest that would be coming tonight with the news of Demyx's blood work. Grabbing some bread, turkey, and mayo he began making himself a sandwich as he let out a pain labored breath. Demyx had been squeezing him rather tightly that night, there were sure to be bruises, sadly.
|
After Demyx had gotten up, in an attempt not to accidentally wake Zexion up, he slipped a shirt and his shoes on and stepped outside. The cool air helped cool him down and clear his mind. He didn't know why or where that dream came from, but he really didn't want to have it again. It creeped him out enough while it was happening. After being outside for about 10 minutes, he headed back into the house, being sure to keep quiet as he slipped off his shoes. He was just about to head upstairs when he heard faint noises from the kitchen. The blond paused, unsure whether or not he should go investigate.. But it was most likely his smaller lover, so he took a cautious step into the room. A small, worried frown formed on his face when he saw that it was indeed Zexion in the kitchen. "Sorry..." he muttered, keeping his voice low so he wouldn't startle the other. "Did I wake you?"
|
As he finished making the rest of his sandwich he placed all of the items that he had originally taken out back into the refrigerator. Leaning over to put the mayo back onto the bottom shelf he let out another gasp as he strained his body where the bruise was. He let out another stifled cry as he went back to where his sandwich was. Sitting down at the table he began to eat quietly. He then decided that he wanted to get a glass of water to go with his food. Once he had his glass of water he went back to eating again.
He heard the door to the house open, and he was immediately on guard. He knew that they lived in a relatively safe area of the neighborhood, but there was always a chance that it could have been an intruder. He then heard the all too familiar sound of Demyx's voice, and he relaxed instantly knowing that it was his blonde lover. Glancing at the other male he smiled when he heard Demyx ask him if he had woken him up. "No," lied Zexion as he placed a fake smile on his face. "I guess I didn't eat enough for dinner so I got up and made something." He knew that lying to the other male probably wasn't the best thing to do. He just hoped that he was still good at hiding his true emotions from other people, and right now this also meant hiding his emotions from Demyx. |
Demyx scanned Zexion's face, trying to decide if his lover was telling the truth or not. It was hard to tell with the shorter Nobody, so he really had no choice but to believe him. So the blonde nodded slowly and went over to the fridge to see if they had any juice. He didn't know why, but he was thirsty all of a sudden. "Alright.. Maybe you should eat more next time so that does't happen." he suggested, shooting a smile at the other. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being lied too, but he didn't want to say anything in case he was wrong. The last thing he wanted was for Zexion to think he didn't trust him.
After looking around the fridge for a few seconds, he decided that he wanted water instead, so he got a glass and filled it up. He drained it quickly before looking at the shorter male. "I'm... gonna head back to bed." he said, setting his glass in the sink, fully intending on washing it in the morning. He gave his lover one last small smile before heading back upstairs. He slipped his shoes off and laid back down, suddenly very tired. He curled up into a ball under the blankets and was asleep in seconds. |
Zexion let out a small sigh when he knew that the other male believed him. It was true that he felt bad for lying to the other male, but it was a little white lie. He knew that the bruising would soon heal, and that life would move on eventually. He watched as the other went to across the kitchen to get a glass of water as he finished the rest of his sandwich. Walking into the kitchen he rinsed off his plate as he filled a glass with some water. He listened to what the other was saying, and smiled back when he caught his lover's eye. As he watched Demyx's retreating form he let out another sigh as he heard the other make his way back up the stairs. He soon followed after him though, and soon he found himself outside of the room that they shared.
The lights in the room were off, and he was pretty sure that the other was asleep. Padding quietly into the room he got into the bed and snuggled next to his lover. He was a little tentative in getting near the blonde again in the event that the other squeezed him hard again, but he knew that it probably wouldn't happen. |
Even though Demyx wasn't aware of it, he somehow was subconsciously aware of Zexion getting into bed. But because of the unease from thinking that the shorter male was lying to him, it caused the blonde to move away from him in his sleep, wanting the space between them. But the movement woke him up, so he laid completely still, not wanting the other to know. He didn't know why he was suddenly so uncomfortable around the other Nobody.
What if Zexion was lying to him? Why would he do that? Did he not love Demyx anymore? Was he seeing someone else behind the blonde's back. The thought caused a painful feeling to twist in his stomach. No... He didn't want to think like that. But now that the thought was there, it wouldn't go away. Of course Zexion would be seeing someone else. Why wouldn't he? He probably got with someone who was smarter than the blonde. Someone who had a job and was actually making a contribution to society. Geez... Just the thought of Zexion cheating on him created an uncomfortable, sick feeling in his stomach and he wrapped his arms around himself tightly. |
Zexion had always been a light sleeper. He had to be. It was part of doing what he did as a part of Organization XII. He would always be up at all hours of the night working on new strategies to get more and more hearts to open Kingdom Hearts. Since he was a light sleeper because of this he knew that the other male was moving around on the bed. He really felt bad about lying to the blonde now. Letting out a sigh he rolled over so that he was facing Demyx's back. Unwrapping his arms from his own body he put his arms around the other male. Moving his body he got closer to the other male he hugged the other one as he whispered," I'm sorry." He knew that he probably shouldn't have said anything in the first place, but he felt so guilty for lying to his lover, the first true person that knew his real self.
|
Demyx felt his back tense up and his entire body freeze when Zexion had hugged him. Why was he acting like this? After all, it shouldn't be that big of deal that the shorter male was hiding something from him. After all, the other members from the Organization did all the time. Especially when they didn't want the blonde knowing something. But when he heard the apology, a sharp pain twisted in his stomach and he was finding it hard to breathe. So Zexion did cheat on him... That's... Great.. He felt tears form in his eyes and he quickly blinked to get rid of them, thankful that his back was to the other Nobody. He didn't want him to see how upset he was about this. It took a moment before he was actually able to speak. "For what?" he asked, not really wanting to now the answer. But if he was being cheated on, which he was certain that he was, than he had the right to know.
|
Zexion furrowed his brow in confusion when he felt the other tense up. Zexion wondered briefly if he had hurt the other male. He then felt the other male trembling in front of him. "What is going on?" thought Zexion as he tightened his grip on the other male. Taking on his his arms he began making circular motions on the other's back to try and calm the other male down as well. When he heard the other speak he felt an even larger twinge of guilt within him. He tried to think of the right thing to say. Closing his eyes he let out a sigh as he said,"I am sorry for lying to you." He got into a sitting position as he continued to face the other male. "When you asked me if everything was alright I lied and said that it was. In reality you-." He paused. He knew that telling the other male that he had hurt him probably wasn't the best thing to say, but he knew that the foundation of their relationship was being supported by love and trust. " I don't know how to say this- and I mean I know that this wasn't your fault either, but you hurt me while we were sleeping." There it was out, but he wasn't really sure how the other would react so he just stayed silent wanting to hear the other speak.
|
Demyx was so tempted to move away from Zexion and just not hear what the other had to say. But kept himself still, knowing that he had to get through this. It would be better for both of them. He drew in slow breaths, trying to keep himself calm so that he could listen to him without having a panic attack. He listened to everything that the other Nobody said and a small frown formed on his face. Why would Zexion lie to him? Did he not trust him? But wait... The blonde had hurt the shorter male... No... That couldn't be right. He sat up and looked at Zexion. "I did?" he asked, mind racing on when this could have happened. Nothing came to mind, but an uncomfortable feeling grew in his stomach. "... Let me see." If he saw how he had hurt the other, maybe he could figure out when it happened.
|
Zexion was glad that the other male had not moved away from him when he had spoken. He froze though when he heard the other say that he wanted to see. Regardless, of what happened Zexion needed to get across that the other male had not done it on purpose, and that he was aware of it. "Okay," whispered Zexion as he got into a sitting position. Raising his arms he began to take off his shirt. As he did so though he said," Before you see this I know that it is not your fault. You must have been having a bad dream or something." Taking off the rest of his shirt he folded it and put it down as he moved to turn on the light. Clicking the light on he squinted a little bit as his eyes adjusted to the light. He knew that the blonde would most likely be surprised, but he had said that he would show the other male. Right now he was too far in to back out now. Glancing at the other male, before immediately down casting his eyes, as he waited for the other male to speak.
|
Worry twisted in his stomach, not sure whether or not that he actually wanted to see that he had hurt the one he supposedly loved. Demyx clenched his eyes shut as the light came on, not wanting to end up getting blinded by the sudden light. He waited a few moments, letting his eyes open up slowly. While his eyes were closed, he thought back to what he had been dreaming about. He couldn't remember much of anything, so maybe Zexion was right. But... He never reacted badly enough from a bad dream to actually hurt someone. The worry twisted even strongly in his stomach when he saw the markings on Zexion's body. He did that? No... He hadn't meant to. "Zexy.... I'm so, so sorry!" he exclaimed, mind racing on how he could make this better. Even though he was worried, there was a slight relief from the fact that Zexion wasn't cheating on him.
|
Zexion looked at the other male searching the other's face for a trace of anything. The silence hung thick in the air, and it made him very uncomfortable. He began to downcast his eyes, but then he heard Demyx say that he was sorry for hurting him. His eyes flew up to look at his blonde lover as he stammered out,"I know you are, but- but it's not like it was your fault or anything. I know that you didn't go out of your way to hurt me or something. You were barely aware of it happening." Yawning he looked at the clock. He knew that he had to go to bed, they both did. Zexion did have work in the morning after all. "Demyx," mumbled Zexion. "I know that you didn't mean to do it, and you clearly are upset about it. Let's just put it passed us, and get some sleep. For both of our sakes." With that being said he leaned over and turned off the light again, casting the room into darkness. Snuggling down in the covers he reached in the darkness and grabbed Demyx's arm dragging the other male down with him.
|
An uncomfortable feeling twisted in Demyx's stomach as he took in the damage that he had done to Zexion. How could he possibly have done this to the man he loved? Even if he was having a bad dream, how could he do this? He took a deep breath to calm himself down, having to come to the conclusion that he did do this, even if he didn't mean too. From now on, he'd be sure to be a lot more careful. The blonde glanced over at the clock, surprised at the time. They really did need to get some sleep. He was about to suggest it when the other said it. He nodded and laid down when the lights went out. He was prepared to sleep away from Zexion to ensure that he didn't hurt him again, but just as he was about to move away, the shorter Nobody had grabbed him and pulled him closer. He moved closer and wrapped an arm hesitantly around his shorter lover, holding him gently. "Night Zexy..."
|
Zexion felt the other male tense when he hugged him, but they relaxed when he heard Demyx say good night to him. "Goodnight," replied Zexion. "I know you didn't mean to." With that being said Zexion closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful sleep.
He slept until the following morning when the light from the sun began trickling into the forms of two sleeping people. Groaning as he opened his eyes he looked around. Glancing at the clock he noted that it was 8a.m. He knew that he would have to get ready to go to work soon. Getting out of bed he made his way into the bathroom where he stripped down and got into the shower. Turning the stream of water on he let out a sigh as he felt the water pelt down on his stiff muscles. He just stood there under the water not wanting to move. |
Demyx, thankfully, managed to get through the rest of the night without waking up or moving much at all. To be honest, he had a completely dreamless sleep, for which he was very grateful. He felt like he could sleep all day, if given the chance. But the blonde felt the bed moved and his mind registered the fact that Zexion was getting up. He laid there for a few moments longer before groaning quietly as he pushed himself up so he could get up as well.
He rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he went over to the dresser. He pulled some clothes out, figuring he would shower sometime later today so he'd be clean for when the doctor came around. He glanced towards the bathroom door before heading downstairs, wanting to cook breakfast for his lover before the shorter male went off to work. Demyx wasn't completely sure what to make, so he figured he could make some French Toast and eggs. That should be a good breakfast~ |
Zexion knew that the longer that he stayed under the water the more and more comfortable he would become. This meant that the more and more time that he stayed under the water the less likely he would want to leave. Letting out a sigh he finished washing the rest of his hair for a second time. He wasn't really picky about much, but he was finicky about his hair. It was something that he prided himself on. Getting out of the shower he inhaled deeply and smiled when he smelled french toast and eggs. They had always been his favorite. Drying off quickly he wrapped the towel around his waist as he made it back into the room that he shared with his lover. Digging around he found some clothes in the closet. Dressing quickly he passed a mirror and looked himself up and down before going out of the room and down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen he looked at Demyx who was there. Walking up behind him he put his arms around his lover and leaned in as he snuggled into the others back.
|
Demyx was just finishing up the food when Zexion had entered the kitchen. The blond didn't hear the other approach, thinking he was still in the bathroom. He was honestly just about to go up and see if his lover was ready to eat. When he felt the arms around his waist, he tensed up for a second, worried that the shorter Nobody was still mad at him for accidentally hurting him, but he pushed the thought away quickly. It really wouldn't do him any good to worry about it. He relaxed quickly and turned his head so he could look at his lover. "Morning~" he greeted. He reached from where he was standing to grab two clean plates to serve the food, hoping Zexion was ready to eat.
|
As Zexion continued to hug the other male he felt the other male tense. He was about to let go of him, for fear that he was making the other one uncomfortable, given what had happened earlier that day, but then he felt the other male relax a little bit. He heard the other say good morning to him, which made him smile. "Good morning," replied Zexion as he let go of the other male so he could finish with making breakfast. Going to the table he looked at him and smiled again as he said," I am starved. What did you make?"
|
Demyx smiled lightly as he put the plates on the table. "I made some French toast and eggs." he said, going to get them both something to drink. "I'm not really good at cooking, so I hope it turned out alright." The blond took his seat and started on the food, glad that it tasted fine. He was worried for a moment that it would taste horrible and Zexion would end up hating him for it, but he figured he was just being ridiculous.
|
Zexion smiled when he heard what the other had made for breakfast. He remembered teaching the other male how to cook some things while they were still in Castle Oblivion. Eggs and french toast being one of them. He knew from the smell that it was bound to be delicious. Sitting down at the table he began to eat slowly as he made a mental inventory of what he would need to do later that day. Opening his eyes he looked at the blonde and said," My gosh Demyx this is amazing!" He let his eyes slide closed as he relished the taste. He knew that he had to figure out what he would need to make for dinner, as well as for what he needed to fill up the fridge as well. Taking a drink from the beverage that Demyx had brought him he looked at the other male and said," What would you like to have for dinner tonight, and what do we need more of?" He took another bite of his food relishing the taste of it as he waited for his blonde lover to answer him.
