Chapter Twenty Five

___________________

It was a week later before I was able to get the chance to talk to Demyx without Riku there. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with Riku and I'm glad that he is starting to get out of his little funk and is socializing a lot more and spending less time sleeping, but it is just my luck that he got over it the only time I didn't want him around. Unfortunately everyone thought it would be best for me to be the one to talk to Demyx about it, which means that I somehow have to find a time to get Demyx alone to talk about it with no one else around.

Thankfully that opportunity presents itself one day when Demyx is helping me with the walking bars, Xigbar fast asleep behind the desk with his legs propped up. At least that means that he isn't going to be calling me Roxas all afternoon, which in all honesty is alright with me.

"Hey, Demyx. Does Sephiroth have any friends?" I questions as he helps me pull myself up onto the bars, and for once I'm not shaking like I normally do. Demyx is leaning heavily on the bars himself as he uses one hand to help me, the other to support himself.

"Sephiroth?" he repeats, giving me a strange look. Dem then cocks his head to one side, laying a finger along his cheek in a very pensive position, a sight that I have to restrain myself from laughing at. Demyx and pensive aren't exactly words you often hear together. He's more of the talk now, think later type of guy. "Hmm. Well, I know that he has a couple of people from school that he graduated with over every couple of months for a poker game or something, and he goes to one of those every month in other places too. But I don't know if I would consider them his friends. Why?"

Taking in a deep breath, I try and force my feet to move without assistance. my arms are holding me upright and I can already feel the strain in them. I have yet to be able to walk on my own, the therapists usually having to bend down and help me my legs. They tell me that we have to keep doing this so that the muscles don't forget how to work properly. "Well, I overheard the strangest thing the other day, you know, the day that RIku got that headache in the pool." I then tell Demyx all about the conversation that I heard that day, hoping that he will be able to finally can put to rest this mystery. After all, if Sephiroth does have a male lover, then why did he react to finding out about mine and RIku's relationship like he did? It doesn't seem right.

"You sure it was a guy?" Demyx asks, abandoning the act of helping me walk along the track in favour of this conversation.

"Yup," I nod, "And I'm one hundred percent sure that he said lover, and I know that I wasn't hearing things. I know that I wasn't."

"Wow. Man," Demyx says in almost disbelief. "Just wow. I totally can't picture Sephiroth taking it up the ass."

I cringe at the typical Demyx-esque comment. "Thank you Demyx for that wonderful mental image of my boyfriend's brother having anal sex."

Demyx just laughs, "Welcome. If you want to, you could think of me and my Zexy having sex."

Groaning at the new mental image, I just tell Demyx to help me back into my chair. We both know that this session has been lost to other conversations, something that has happened many times in the past with us. I mean, what are they expecting putting two guys with extremely short attention spans in the same room with no supervision anyway? Well, no supervision other than Xigbar anyway.

"You're going to need to give me a couple of days to think on this one though, alright Sora? I'll have to talk to Zexy about this. He and Sephiroth work together more often than he and I do, so he might know something that we don't. Not to mention that they are family, so that gives Zexy an advantage too." Demyx begins to rock back and forth on his crutches, having released the bar not long after I abandoned it.

I just shrug, "I've been waiting this long, why not longer?" I begin laughing, Demyx joining in shortly afterwards. Neither of us are quite sure why we are laughing which just causes us to laugh even harder. Eventually Demyx begins making his way over to the door, becoming me to follow.

"Might as well head somewhere more fun than here if we aren't going to actually do any rehab." Well, there is no arguing with logic that solid.

I often wonder if the reason why I am doing so well somedays and not so well others is because Demyx has been working with me. Honestly, the two of us never get much if any therapy done, but when anyone mentions it to Dr. Vexen, he just shrugs and says Demyx knows what he is doing. Then everyone always accusses him of vision clouded by fatherly pride. Oh well.

"Man, this feels so much liking we are cutting class," I laugh, following Demyx down the hall.

The blond just scoffs, "Cutting? That would mean actually going to class in the first place. why do you think that Dad set up the tutor program here?"

"Um, because none of us ever leave this place and most of us haven't graduated high school yet?" I answer, not sure if he was actually looking for an actual responce, but I decide to give him one anyway.

Demyx stops abruptly in the centre of the hall, another oddly thoughtful look appearing on his face, "Well, okay. Yeah, sure that's probably the main reason, but really it's because it was a way to make sure that I actually went to class." His voice is full of laughter and I turn my chair around to look at him, the broad smile on his face very contagious.

"Not the world's best high school student, Demy?" I smirk, reaching over and poking him in the side, earning a very unmanly squeak from him.

"Hey! Watch it, that tickles!" he laughs, swatting my hand away whole trying to remain balanced on his crutches. "Let's just say that I still hold the record for quickest expulsion due to unexcused absences in my high school," he grins sheepishly and I feel my jaw drop. I never could see Demyx being like that. then again, I'm sure that he's changed a lot since coming to live at the clinic full time, and Zexion probably has been a good influence on him too. There are many days that Riku and I go and take evening walks through the Gardens that we see Zexion and Demyx lounging together under a tree and sharing a book.

Something hits me then. "But you aren't in our tutoring classes though." I know it probably sounds rude, but like Demyx, I tend to speak first, think later.

Demyx just laughs again before he begins moving down the hall once more and I follow close behind him. "Don't worry. apparently if I apply myself, I can be fairly smart. I finished my high school in only a year and a half. Zexy helped me a lot though. Now I'm taking the correspondance courses I need to become a physical therapist on my own." I can not believe that I know so little about Demyx's personal life after all this time. Frankly, I don't thats very fair. After all, it seems like he knows absolutely everything about mine.

Our conversation continues as we make out way down the hall, trying to decide what we are going to do with our sudden free afternoon. Unfortunately, I know that Kairi and Naminé both have sessions and even worse, Riku has a meeting with Dr. Vexen that he didn't even know what it was going to be about. Axel had an attact the night before last, so he is still on bedrest and Roxy is being the ever supportive boyfriend and staying with him. I'm actually surprised how well my twin handles the rare attacks that leave Axel paralyzed for a couple of days. I don't know how he does it.

"Maybe we should go check up on Roxy and Axel?" I suggest to Demyx. After all, it was only this morning that they cleared Axel for visitors other than the doctors and Roxy. It's actually only because of Demyx, and through him, Dr. Vexen, that my brother is able to stay by Axel's side through these attacks.

"Sure. You don't think that we'll catch them in the middle of doing something nasty, do you?" Demyx has a sly grin on his face and I can't help but groan at it.

"It wouldn't be the first time I would have," I say rolling my eyes. I couldn't begin to even attempt to count the number of times that I have walked in on my brother and the redhead in comprimising positions. It seems like every time I turn around, they are sneaking around, or away in order to go have sex. I don't want to think of how many different places in the clinic they have had sex in, and even less I want to know how many times that they have had sex on the bed that Roxy and I share. Gross on so many levels. Then again, I really have no room to talk, as my twin and his boyfriend have walked in on me and Riku probably just as many times.

"You guys are the strangest twins I have ever met, and that totally includes Kai and Nami," Demyx laughs as we round the corner to the hall that Axel's room is in. We can't help buy laugh at the charred door that now sports a large green paint splatter along with even more scorch marks. as we found out last week, some paints are far more flammable than others...

Just as I reach out to grab the door knob, something stops me dead in my tracks.

"Sora? What's up?" Demyx questions, concern lacing his voice.

I feel my face grow hot as i instantly drop my arm and begin to back away from the door. "Just listen," I whisper, glad that the feeling had hit me when it did instead of a minute later. I would have subjected Demyx to something that even he probably wouldn't want to see. We are both silent for a few seconds before we hear the tell tale signs of sex happening behind the burnt door.

"Fuck, Roxy!" We hear Axel groan loudly, "I never thought dry humping could be so fucking hot!" Roxy answers without words and I quickly begin moving away from the door.

Demyx's reaction is almost exactly the same as mind as I watch his face, neck and ears all grow bright red and he scrambles with his crutches to move away from the door. No words are said between us as we get as far as we possibly can get away from the room, only stopping when we reach the doors to the cafeteria. we don't say anything as we just stay there trying to catch our breaths again.

"They don't let anything stop from them from having sex, do they?" Demyx asks, leaning on his crutchs heavily as he pants.

"Nope," I laugh, "And for some strange reason, Roxy has decided that he needs to tell me how the sex is different when Axel has an attack and other things that brothers really don't need to tell each other."

Demyx laughs heartily at the comment before pushing the door open, "Well, lets soothe your sorrows with the chocolate cherry trifle that I know that Lexy is making up. Ahh, the joys of sleeping with the pastry chef's best friend," Demyx grins with a large smile.

I laugh along with him. "Is there anything that Lexaeus doesn't do around here? He's an orderly, the matience man, general gorilla and pastry chef. And that's just what I know for sure that he does. I know he has to do more!"

We walk into the cafeteria still laughing, but as soon as we doo, we see a sight that makes us both stop dead in our tracks, our laughter dying instantly.

Across the cafeteria, we see Naminé leaning up against the counter, a huge smile on her face and in her eyes as she is hand fed a spoon filled with what looks like chocolate and whipped cream. But it's who of all people is feeding her that surprising the crap out of us. With a soft smile of his own, the man on the other side of the counter is Lexaeus. At first look, neither of them seem happier as they are lost in their own little world. Soft conversation and quiet laughs fill the room and keeps Demyx and I silent as we begin to back out of the cafeteria, leaving Lexaeus and Naminé to their moment.

"Lexaeus is Naminé's secret admirer?" I question as soon as the door closes behind us, sort of shocked at this turn of events. "He's like 20 or something, way older than her!"

Demyx can barely contain his laughter as he falls against the wall for support. "Holy crap! I never saw that coming! It's so awesome! I wonder how long they've been together? I'm so going to pound on her for not letting us know! I wonder if Kairi knows yet. And Zexy! I know he knows because he knows everything! So, why didn't he tell me? Oh, I'm going to give him such a piece of my mind!"

At Demyx's sudden rant, I can't help but burst into loud laughter. "So now that we've seen or heard two different couples getting it on, where do we want to try next?" I ask whe we finally settle down.

"You two are doing what walking in on who now?" I hear a new voice coming from behind me, causing me to spin around in my chair to face the newcomer.

"Riku!" I exclaim with pure joy in a better mood suddenly. "I thought you had a meeting with Dr. Vexen."

He breaks into a smile, his cane tapping me on the foot before he leans down and places a soft kiss on my lips, ignoring my comments. I smile into the gentle kiss, his long hair tickling my cheeks and sending a shiver up and down my body. Not wanting to end the kiss quite yet, I reach a hand up wrap it around the back of Riku's neck, pulling him in closer. My boyfriend gives me a light moan before his tongue snakes out to trace along my lips to allow him access to my mouth. His natural flavour instantly bursts throughout my mouth, causing my hand to tighten in his silky hair. Our tongues dance together in a familiar tango, deepening the kiss.

"Why is everyone getting some but me?" A loud cry startles us out of our kiss and we both turn to look at a pouting Demyx, causing both Riku and I to laugh. it still amazes me even after all these months how RIku is able to tell the little things like what expression is on Demyx's face even though he can't necessarily see it. Judging by the smirk on my boyfriend's lips however it seems that Demyx isn't off the hook for interupting our kiss. not that it isn't something that Riku and I aren't completely used to by now, the constant interruptions whenever we try and get a moment together.

"You have absolutely no room to say that "Mr-I-Have-Sex-In-The-Rehab-Pool-Every-Saturday'," RIku chuckles, moving to stand behind me, his arms draping over my shoulders. the contact makes me smile as does the tone of his voice. Obviously he is in a good mood today, and the meeting he had with Dr. Vexen must have been a good one.

Demyx turns bright red at the comment and I start laughing harder than before. "Hey! We do actual rehab in there too!" he exclaims, unable to look either of us in the face.

"So, you finally admit that you and Zexion fuck in the pool every week?" I feel the smirk widen against my cheek where my boyfriend has his face pressed.

The blond begins to stutter nonsense, his blush increasing in intensity ten fold. Man, Riku really is acting like his old self today, and that makes me happy. Too many times the past couple of weeks, Riku has been depressed or tired, or just not himself. It honestly had started to scare me. Not that I don't still love my boyfriend no matter his mood or anything like that, it was just hard to watch him struggle with going through it, knowing that there really wasn't anything I could do until he decided to let me help.

I just sit there, not really listening as Demyx and Riku fling insults and trash talk back and forth above my head, grinning like a fool at the thought that this is so normal for all of us. I refuse to even consider the fact that my time here at the clinic is already half over, and that my recover is starting to proceed just how Dr. Vexen had predicted. Roxy's arm is still taking its sweet old time with it's healing, but Dr. Vexen figures that that is because of our bond, Roxy's shoulder is pacing itself along with my complete recovery. He also said a ton of medical jargon that day and I didn't completely understand, but I know that if it had been something that important, the doctor would have dumbed it down for me.

"Oh, Riku!" I exclaim, interupting their fight and causing both of the taller males to look down at me with an odd look on their face. You'd think that after this long, they would be used to the fact that I space out regularly, then voice my thoughts no matter what is going on around me.

"Yeah, what is it?" he whispers, his lips dangerously close to my ear, causing me to shiver. Crap, he sounds so sexy today. Or maybe that's just because of how many other couples we've seen going at it already today.

"We know who Naminé's admirer is!" I grin, playing with the silky stands of my boyfriend's long silver hair. It's just so tantalizing and inviting to play with.

"You do? Who is it?" he questions, straightening up, much to my dismay. I like it when he is draped all over me.

"You're never going to believe this," Demyx chuckles, "but it's Lexy!"

Sightless eyes go wide and his jaw drops open as Riku tries to process this new information. "Seriously?" is the only word he manages to produce.

I laugh again, nodding, knowing that somehow my boyfriend will know my reaction. "Yup. We just walked in on them in the cafeteria and they were lost in their own little world, staring into each other eyes and Lexaeus was spoon feeding Nami some sort of dessert."

"Holy shit," comments Riku, a pensive look appearing on his face. "Fuck, I can totally picture that working out for them."

"I know, right?" Demyx grins broadly. "I had to think about it for a minute or two, but they make such an awesome couple, right? Ooh, I wonder if Kairi knows yet?" Demyx is once again talking a mile a minute and it earns a light chuckle from my boyfriend.

"Good question, Demyx. I'm sure that Kai's session is over, or very nearly done, so why don't you go find her and give her this awesome new news." Riku tells our friend, an odd tone lacing his words, something I can't quite identify.

"Good Idea!" Smiles Demyx before he takes of down the hall, far faster than anyone who uses crutches should be able to. I move to follow him, assuming that Riku will also follow us, but a familiar grip on my shoulder prevents me from moving even an inch forward.

"RIku?" I question, very confused as to why he stopped me only seconds after suggesting that we go tell Kairi the news. Instantly my brain analyzes exactly what my boyfriend said, and I am only mildly shocked to recall that he had only suggested that Demyx go deliver the news to Kairi. What does he have planned?

"Where were Roxas and Axel last time you saw them?" RIku questions, his voice suddenly dropping to a very low and almost sensual tone which sends a jolt through my body. what is he getting at and why is he saying my twin's name in such an arousing voice?

"Axel's room, dry humping or something like that," I answer, anticipation burning through my veins as I try and figure out what exactly my boyfriend is getting at.

"Hmmm," he hums, placing a kiss on my temple, which I lean unconsciously into. "So, do you think your room will be safe or do you think that we should just go to mine?" His voice is low and husky, and suddenly I know exactly what is going on. Riku is horny and wants something. I don't know exactly what it is he wants, but at this point, I'm willing to do anything that keeps me close to him and keeps his mind off of his brother. Not that I don't want him no matter what, who can resist him anyway? But it always seem like people and timing are not on our side. It just seems that everytime we try and do anything beyond a little bit of making out, someone interrupts in someway. Believe me, it has gotten past the point of severely annoying.

Gently, I place my hand over top of his, squeezing it to show him that I am in complete agreeance to his plan for this afternoon, "I think my room is closer." I wince slightly at the cracking in my voice, RIku not helping much by chuckling lightly. He places a soft kiss on my temple before we start walking down the hall at a fairly slow pace. I can feel my heart beating rapidly in my chest with anticipation. There is a huge chance that today we will get the opportunity to go further than we ever have before. The entire prospect sends a wave of excitment through me as I recall the other night when Riku and I were just laying together and he told me that there were a few things that he wanted to try sometime.

We are silent for the entire trip, obviously both of our minds racing. Normally I would never even consider doing anything beyond some heavy petting this soon in a relationship, but for some reason, with Riku it feels like we have already passed that awkward new relationship stage and it seems as if we have been together for so much longer than just a couple of months. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that we are constantly surrounded by such sexually charged people like Roxy, Axel and Demyx that it has worn off onto us.

"Love you," I hear Riku whisper in my ear, breaking me out of my thoughts and causing me to break out into a wide grin. How is it that such simple and few words can make my stomach do backflips?

"Love you too," I answer, almost eager to see where this afternoon takes us.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so sorry about the lateness of this chapter. My computer decided that this month it wanted to crash. And lose a lot of my documents. And need to be reformatted again. Three times. Yeah, I know that I should just break down and buy a new computer, but I'd rather save my money to go see my lovey dovey Pahoyhoy. I miss you so much, and it will be spring time again soon!

Thanks as always to everyone for continuing support on this story. Did anyone guess that Lexaeus was Nami's admirer? When you think about it, it totally could be a cute relationship. I thank my Pahoyhoy for that pairing, lol. So, I'm curious to know, how far do we think that Sora and Riku should go? I promise that I will definitely put some citrus in the next chapter. I'm willing to take peoples inputs, I look foward to seeing what people think. A huge thanks to Tifa-san for the beta job while my computer is still acting up.

No promise when the next chapter will be out, i've got a list of 3 oneshot requests/gifts to work on before I get back to this story, But i'm still hoping that it wont be too much more than 5 or 6 weeks. Lets hope. Thanks again and until next time!
