By: ZekuRoku
Pairing: Zexion/Roxas
Author Note: Sorry it took me so long to get this typed out! I have been so hardcore into my Hetalia challenge that it was taking a lot of work to get back into a KH writing mood! Please, forgive me? :(
Wow, I never expected this fic would have a great response like this! It makes me so happy to know other people are interested in this pairing! :) You readers rock! Hope this chapter isn't a disappointment!
"Fuck. My. Life." Zexion mumbled at his reflection in the mirror the next morning. He was not going to school looking like this. His hair was choppy and cut at different jagged lengths and his eye was in terrible condition. He was even finding it hard to even keep it open. It looked like nothing more than a dark mass and it even made him cringe to see how red is eye was.
A soft classical tune then met his ears. Some one was calling him... He walked back into his room and grabbed his phone off the bedside table. The name, "Roxas," flashed across the screen. Zexion swore his heart skipped a beat. There was no way he wanted to talk to him now, he was frazzled and looked incredibly unattractive... Knowing the blonde would rush over to his home if he answered his call...
It hurt for Zexion to press the ignore button. "I'm sorry," He mumbled. This was pathetic, he was totally letting Axel's cocky, egotistical, and illogical logic get the best of him. Who cares if Roxas and him were dating... It was obviously over and the attraction was rather one-sided. Was this jealousy? No. It wasn't anything childish like that. Roxas could choose his friends on his own, and make his own decisions so why would he be jealous of Axel?
The phone began to ring again... Truthfully, the thing that bothered him the most was, that in all these months together, Roxas had never mentioned Axel's name. He thought that they were friends... Though, if the red-head had cheated on him, it would show that Roxas was still rather sore on the subject. Hitting the ignore button on his cellphone again, he felt like the biggest jack-ass ever.
All Zexion needed was a bit of time, to think things over... Maybe a day away from the psycho children that had this unhealthy obsession over Roxas would be a good thing. It would let him calm his mind and allow all his impulsive intentions to disappear.
A voice-mail was left on his phone. He just did not have the heart to listen to it quite yet.
"Zexyyyyyyy~! Zexxxxxxxxyyyyyyy~! I know you are in thereeeeee~!" The annoying voice piercing through the front door was not welcomed at the moment. "Why must you ignore me?" Clawing noises soon followed and any attempt to ignore the noise was gone, "Love me, Zexion! Loveeeeee meeeeeeeeeee~!"
"Demyx, I swear, if you do not stop this racket, I will beat you!" Zexion swung the door open with a forceful push, smacking the mullet haired idiot in the face. "What do you want?"
Picking himself off the ground, Demyx's mouth dropped as soon as he laid eyes on his friend. "OH, WOW! You look like shit! OH MY GOD! What happened to your hair? You're not Zexion, are you?"
Deciding he did not want to fuel the neighborhood gossip this week, he dragged Demyx in by the collar of his shirt. "Shut up you moron..." Slamming his door shut he turned to face the blonde. "You're skipping school?"
"Wow! It really is you! Oh, my poor Zexy!" He clung to the bluenette, sobbing dramatically. "My darling dearest! Are you okay? After you didn't show up to American Lit yesterday after that fight, I totally freaked out!"
"Yeah, yeah," He awkwardly patted his friend's back in a form of comfort, "As you can see, I am just fine."
"You're emo hair..." He sniffed, unlatching his death grip, he freed Zexion.
"I couldn't see with my eye like this..."
"Wow, Axel's a real asshole, huh? The whole school was talking about it and-"
"How is Roxas?" Demyx's rant was suddenly cut off. "I mean, yesterday, after I left?"
Silence filled the room for a moment, "You know it was kind of a dick move to just leave the poor kid there by himself with that huge crowd of people and all his buddies were there- and-"
"I get the point. I feel guilty enough as it is... "
Suddenly, "You love him don't you?"
Zexion's eyes widened and he began to sputter out nonsense words trying to let out a witty retort. "Wha-What?" He obviously failed at wit.
"Don't look at me like that; like I'm crazy and don't know what I am talking about! I know you Zexion. I have known you for 13 years! You are head over heels, my friend," Demyx stared his friend in the eyes watching a bit of panic flash through them. He calmly continued, "Don't worry... I feel as if Roxas has a mutual attraction towards you too. Which, I wonder how he can deal with you abandoning him like that... Axel was all over him yesterday and the poor blonde looked like a kicked puppy. He was so worried about you! You even ignored his phone calls..."
Great. More guilt, and feelings to be thrown on his already full plate. Was he really in love with Roxas...? Did the blonde really feel the same? He was currently terrified... It was out of his character to feel like this; to be this weak and have a care to anything at all. "Demyx... You think I should call him...?" He whispered.
The mullet haired man's face lit up with a huge smile, wiping the serious uncharacteristic look off his face. "I think you should see him in person!"
"E-Excuse me?"
"You heard me! Show up at his front door and declare a loud and proud declaration of lurve~!"
"But- Sora will-"
"Ha, ha, ha! You know Sora isn't all that bad! Sure he's the epitome of a stereotypical golden boy, but his heart's in the right place. It'd be abuse if he didn't let you past the door. You do know that Sora hated Axel, right? I'm quite sure he'd rather put up with you then him."
Zexion felt a sudden rush of panic, so many things could go wrong. Was it worth it? To see Roxas? To have all this mess sorted out? Despite it all the pros out weighted the cons in this situation. "Demyx... Can you cut hair...?"
Green eyes shimmered in delight, "I sure can, my Zexy darling!"
It looked like things were taking a rather drastic turn...Oh, how he hoped this would be for the better.
Author Note: Wow! I am now moving the plot along rather fast now. I think another 2 or 3 chapters should do it. Which is rather funny because originally this fic was only suppose to be 2 or 3 in total. I promise I will update faster this next time round! :) Please Review!
