Chapter 1: The Library

Demyx hated books. Not only books, but he hated the act of reading entirely. He found it truly and utterly boring. Demyx was more of a music kind of guy anyway. So, if this melodious nocturne hated books so much, why was he in the Twilight Town Public Library? Why did he go to this library every day after school for hours on end? Well, mind you that the son of the recently sick librarian had been running the place for the last few months. Demyx found this out completely by accident. The mullet haired boy had been running from a group of jocks to whom he a set a stink bomb off on. Running down the street, Demyx saw the perfect place to hide, the library. The jocks would never go in there, too many big words to hurt their brains. The musical teenager ran into the tall, book filled, building and hid behind a shelf. The jocks ran in and almost collapsed to the ground, groaning things like 'big words hurt brain!' and 'noooo smart people!' The jocks left, and Demyx exhaled a breath, only to have it caught again as he heard a voice from behind him. "Can I help you?" The slightly deep, velvet voice asked. Demyx turned around to come face to face with a slate haired teen about his age. Demyx just stood there. The slate haired boy sighed, and Demyx could see he had a look of annoyance, even though his hair covered half his face. "Well, I don't have all day." Demyx finally remembered how to talk.

"Um… no, I'm just leaving." The young musician left through the double glass doors and down the street.

Ever since then, Demyx had found himself going to the library a lot more often, eventually adding it to his everyday routine. When at the library, he never checked out any books, or even read anything for that matter. He just got out his  and listened as he secretly watched the slated haired boy work. Sometimes the teen would glace his way, a questioning look on his face, but then go back to his work.

Demyx was at his locker when his two best friends, Luxord and Xigbar, walked up to him. "What's Up Dem Dem?" The later of the two said while leaning against the teal colored lockers.

"Oh, well, nothing much really." Demyx replied.

"Hey, Xigbar and I are playing poker after school at my place, you coming?" Luxord said, stroking his blonde beard.

"Oh, no I'm busy after school." The musician said while putting away his last textbook.

"Demy, you're always busy after school. What could you possibly be doing every day?" Xigbar asked.

"If you must know, I've been going to the library."

"The library? As if, there's no way you're going to get me to believe that." He dark haired boy chuckled.

"Yeah, you hate books." Luxord added.

"Let's just say I'm checking out something besides books." The dirty blonde grinned and left for the exit of the school building. He made his way across the courtyard, bag slung over his shoulders. He glanced around the courtyard as he past; something always seemed to be happening out here. Marluxia and Larxene, nominated for cutest couple, were arguing. It was most likely over something stupid. Demyx knew that Marluxia didn't even like Larxene, and had no idea why he even put up with her. Vexen, Xaldin, and Lexaeus were in a study circle by a tree. Even though Vexen was no doubt the smartest of the group, he seemed to be zoning out while doodling on his science textbook. Roxas and Axel were sitting in the tree above the study trio. Axel appeared to be trying to persuade Roxas into doing something naughty, but gave up as the blonde kept resisting. The sitarist's eyes were soon glued to the tree on the other side of the courtyard. The slate haired boy sat beneath it, reading a large book. The library didn't open for another half hour, so the teen took his time with the book. The musician admired him from afar for a while, and then decided he had to go home and shower before heading off to the library.

It was four o'clock when Demyx had arrived at the library. He sat at his usual table and turned on his iPod. As he watched the slate haired boy work, he wondered if he realized he came here every day. It's been about a month since I started coming here… and I don't even know his name. The dirty blonde sighed when his music was suddenly interrupted by a velvet voice. "You know, electronic devices aren't permitted here." The short teen said blankly. "Listen, there's a sign outside that says 'no loitering' you've been coming here every day for almost a month, if you're not going to check something out you need to leave." The dirty blonde smirked.

"What are you talking about? I've been checking something out every day." He chuckled.

"Um, no you haven't checked out a single book since you began coming here." The slated haired teen was annoyed now.

"I never said I was checking out books." He stated simply, turning his iPod back on. The shorter boy blushed and tapped the dirty blonde on the shoulder.

"Um… I told you that you couldn't use that in here. If you want to be here, you need to be reading."

"Ugh, but I hate books."

"Then why are you in a library?"

The musician chuckled again. "I told you, there's something I needed to check out." Another blush crept upon the slate haired boy's face.

"Y-you should go." He responded, his voice cracking slightly.

"Okay, whatever, you can be sure to expect me back tomorrow though." The dirty blonde smiled. "My name is Demyx by the way. I guess I'll see you around." The boy headed for the door.

"Zexion." The velvet voice spoke. Demyx turned his head. "My name… It's Zexion."

Demyx chuckled once again. "I guess I'll see you around… Zexion." And with that, the mullet haired teen left through the glass double doors.

Zexion sat up in his bed; it was eleven at night and rain poured hard against his window. The slate haired boy sighed. I can't let this happen. I can't go through it again. I just wasn't meant to be loved. Zexion sighed. I won't let him hurt me like the last one did. Zexion eventually drifted to sleep, muttering a single name as he did so. "Lexaeus."

Okay, so that's chapter one. Each chapter from here on out will have a song in it... maybe I'll try it for the next and see how you like it. TaTa for now! Comments are welcome and flames will be used to help fule Axel's sex drive
