kingdomdressing | lead me to my beloved's land.

[Guess who just came out from the kitchen entrance?
You guessed it, Dem. He was finishing his sea salt ice cream with half-lidded eyes. Seemingly bored or deep in thought, walking the opposite direction.]

[catching sight of him, he clicks after him, tugging on the back of his shirt]

Hmm?

[He turned his head a bit, seeing red spikes he couldn't help the huge grin that formed over his lips. He turned quickly, wrapping his arms around the other and dipping Axel before he saw the clothing. His mind clicked and he let Axel back up with wide eyes.]

A-Axel?

[blinks at him]

Yes?

[He was speechless.]

I-I..Y-You....You're still here?

[His delicate fingers cupped Axel's face, gazing longingly in to those wonderous eyes with a sad smile. He missed Axel so much..]

I thought...I thought I'd lost you.

I've been ill.

[lowers his lashes, looking just as sad as Demyx]

I'm sorry... I was very sick, and I didn't want you to catch it.

[His heart throbbed, feeling his stomach twist with grief. He had been mistaken, Axel hadn't left at all...he'd been so careless.]

I-I could have helped, I could have taken care of you.

[He didn't deserve to even look at Axel...]

It nearly killed me... if I gave it to you, I never could have forgiven myself.

My God Axel...

[He wanted to reach out and kiss that beautiful face, but he refrained. He couldn't..Not after what he'd done to Axel, he broke the promise...]

W-What did you have?

Pneumonia, I think. There just wasn't the right medicine here.

[he slumps, but then he catches Demyx's reluctance]

And you...? What have you done in my absence?

[His fingers twitched, aching to touch Axel again. He refrained, stiffening a bit from the question.]

N-Nothing much...Just hit some of the arcades, went to the pool a lot, a-and watched a movie or too in the home theatre.

[God..he felt horrible.]

[rubs a hand over Demyx's cheek to make up for it]

You stuttered. What happened?

[he's scared he got hurt]

[Oh shit, he did stutter...Didn't he? Cover it up Demyx!]

Nothing, nothing happened. I-I just mised you.

[His eyebrows pulled together, feeling his stomach twist again with guilt from the kind gesture. He couldn't help himself, bringing his hand up to cover Axel's on his cheek. His brilliant ocean eyes were full of storms and crashing waves from everything that was happening. From what he'd done..Why did Axel have to be so selfless?]

[he kisses him, slow and deep, trying to erase the pain in those eyes]

Please... talk to me. I've missed your terribly.

A-Axel wait..

[God, he was being pulled in. There was only so much self-control one can have, he was trying-truly he was. But that kiss had him hooked, he didn't want to break such a beautiful face. Demyx couldn't bare to see Axel's face distorted from anguish again.]

I-I can't....I-I've missed you too. God, I've missed you so much Axel.

[But he couldn't let his mistakes slip.]

Why do you look so sad then...?

.....

[His hands curled around Axel's, trying to stop his heart from pulsing inside of his head. He knew it was going to come out sooner or later but...]

B-Because I can't believe you're really here.

[He couldn't stop lying, it was like breathing. He couldn't let Axel know.]

You're lying...

You look like your heart is breaking.

Axel...

[That did it, he cracked from those words. Because it was true, this was killing him and his chest felt so heavy. It hurt...Now, he was all worked up. Fighting back stupid tears that tried to defy his will. He was a man, damnit.]

I-I've done s-something...terrible.

[He didn't deserve to touch Axel, but he did anyway-he was desperate to hold that beautiful face again in his hands. Pure agony shone in his eyes when he gazed in to absinthe. Why did he break?]

...

[he waits for the confession, although he knows it's coming. it's like when Demyx confronted him about God!ku all over again, except the tables were turned]

I-I..I slept with another Axel and y-you can call me a hypocrite and tell me you hate me...But I still love you and I-I'm sorry, I w-was just so alone without y-you and...

[He didn't know how to explain it. He was falling for the other Axel a bit, but he hasn't fallen out of love with the Axel right infront of him. He didn't want to stop loving Axel..He couldn't bare to lose the other..]

[his face remains blank, impassive]

Which one?

[hypocrite? oh yes. but he could never hate Demyx. he wasn't about to let the blond off the hook though. he fingered the Pancake collar about his neck, waiting for an answer]

O-One of the twin brothers...

[He bit down on his lip, looking to the collar instead of meeting Axel's eyes. He didn't like how Axel's face was so collected...Then again, he didn't like that collar either but he had no right to nag about anything at the moment.]

[twin brothers? he didn't recognize them. didn't even know there were twin Axels. he reaches out, tilting Demyx's chin up]

It's okay, Demyx. I forgive you.

[offers him a smile]

Axel I really am sor-

[He flinched, thinking Axel would hit him or slap him until what the redhead said finally hit him like a ton of bricks.]

...Y-You do?

[Wait..what?]
