Zexion awoke to the sound of his alarm going off. A small frown tugging at his lips as he slowly sat up and pushed his duvet off of his head, blinking at the square of sun that had snuck through his black curtains; stretching upwards he clicked out his shoulders and yawned, his large shirt that he slept in slipping off one shoulder.

Looking towards his clock the periwinkle haired teen saw that it was 6.00am, he had woken up an hour earlier than usual which was completely unlike him; Yawning once again Zexion pushed his black duvet off of him, exposing his porcelain colored legs, and slowly got out of bed; once again blinking at his midnight blue walls.

Today was a Monday, and he had school. On his way across his room Zexion's eyes flick across to his desk and he smiled when he saw that his journal was still there, continuing now with no hesitation towards his bathroom to get ready for the day.

Half an our later he was out of the shower and padding back into his room, a blue towel wrapped around his tiny waist, heading straight for his wardrobe; he dressed quickly in black skinny jeans, a grey and blue three quarter shirt, a dark blue hoodie, and converse.

His bag was already packed and after grabbing his phone and shoving it into his pocket he traipsed downstairs, dropping his bag at the foot of the stairs. He could smell pancakes as soon as he hit the bottom step, his sense of smell had always been that of a dogs, and walked towards the kitchen where he saw his mother standing by the stove; patiently he waited for her to turn around before signing "Hello mum"

"Morning" his mother replied "Did you sleep well?" she asked as she turned off the stove, and turned to place two pancakes on a plate already set on the table in front of him.

"Yeah, I slept fine" Zexion signed and picked up his knife and fork, tucking into his breakfast and eating slowly "Can you still drive me to school today?" he signed after briefly putting down his utensils and then picking him back up.

Zexion's mother pursed her lips as she sat down opposite him, pulling her cup of coffee closer to her and stirring it before taking a sip "Sorry honey" she began, drawing her words out like she always does when she knew she was delivering bad news "I have to go to work early, you'll have to take the bus"

The periwinkle haired teen frowned and looked down at his pancakes, his appetite gone as fear flooded his system. Shakily he put down his knife and fork and quickly signed "That's fine. I'll walk" before pushing his plate away and quickly standing before she could protest, hurriedly walking over to his bag and slinging it over one shoulder

"Hone-" his mother started speaking as she watched him from the door frame of the kitchen, but Zexion held his hand up in the universal sign of stop before signing "It's fine mum, see you after school" and heading out the door. 'I'd rather walk then spend twenty minutes on a bus with bullies' Zexion thought as he pulled out his earphones from his jersey pocket, plugging them into his phone and setting it on shuffle.

"Zexion" a voice to his left called as soon as he stepped onto school grounds, the periwinkle haired teen turning a second later to see Roxas lounging against the brick wall connected to the gates

"Roxas" Zexion signed, mimicking his blonde haired friend before continuing to walk towards the schools building; Roxas falling into step beside him a second later and glaring at anyone who went to approach the periwinkle haired teen, Zexion was well known for being the only mute in school and used to be bullied horribly before he met Roxas.

"You excited for the big test in history today?" Roxas asked sarcastically as they walked through the grounds, his and Zexion's lockers had always been placed together since year nine.

"Yes" Zexion signed back, hoping that Roxas could hear the implied curt tone "Because unlike some people, I studied rather then sneak out to my boyfriends house" he added and when the blonde shot him a confused look he pointed towards his friends neck where a big, and angry looking, hickey stood out just above his collar.

Roxas blushed and swore under his breath, tugging up his collar to hide the mark as they finally made it to the school building; inside the walls were painted a light blue with checkered floors, doors of classrooms placed between sets of twenty lockers.

Just as they reached their lockers something slammed into Zexion, knocking him into the his locker with a loud noise. Blinking furiously to clear the stars blinking in front of his eyes he turned just in time to be pushed back again, a larger body slotting itself in front of him; he immediately knew who it was, Larxene.

"Hey little mute" she sneered, her cruel blue eyes piercing into his as she pushed him further into the locker "Can you talk yet?" she teased, like she did every day, and laughed her high pitched laugh; and even though Zexion wouldn't let it show it still really hurt him, it felt like he was being degraded and pushed back a slot in humanity just for a simple disability.

"Leave him alone!" Roxas's voice rang out making Larxene pause, slowly she turned her head and fixed her gaze on the other blonde.

"What did you say, faggot?" she snarled and snarled to show slightly pointed canines "Why don't you go suck off your boyfriend, and leave the mime with me" she teased knowing exactly what to push.

"At least I can get a boyfriend, bitch" Roxas replied smoothly. By now they had attracted a small crowd, and when Roxas called Larxene a bitch there was a collective gasp from the crowd; no one usually dared to stand up against her, let alone call her names right back to her face.

"What'd you say?" Larxene asked in a dangerous voice and when no one answered she slammed Zexion into the locker once more before turning towards Roxas "I said, what did you say" she repeated once more as she stepped right up to Roxas, their nose's nearly touching as they stared each other down; Larxene was taller, but she was wearing heels.

"You heard me" Zexion heard Roxas say through the ringing in his ears but all he could think was 'I have to stop this' using the lockers to help him stand the mute shakily stepped forwards towards Larxene; but fear flooded his sytsem and he began trembling, he didn't have the courage to stand up for himself or Roxas.

"What is happening here!?"

Absolutely everyone fell silent, whereas before they were edging either Roxas or Larxene on, and slowly turned to find Principal Xemnas standing there.

"Sir" Larxene was the first to speak, putting on a whimpering tone and a sappy expression "Roxas attacked me with no provocation" she lied, and when Xemnas's golden eyes flicked towards Roxas she smiled slyly.

"Is this true, Hikari?" Xemnas asked in a low voice, and when no one replied he immediately snapped "Detention"

Roxas scowled and turned to look at Zexion, only to find the periwinkle haired teen looking at the ground, his hair covering his eyes as he nervously bit his lip; the periwinkle haired teen just wanted to sink into the earth, he could feel everyone watching him and he hated it, he hated to be noticed by anyone other than Roxas in fear of just making more enemies.

"Fine" he heard Roxas snap, a pause, and then everyone was moving away; looking up through his fringe Zexion saw Xemnas hand Roxas a piece of paper before nodding curtly and leaving, Larxene shooting the two one more glare before turning and twitching away.

"Sorry" Zexion signed, not even sure if Roxas was even looking at him; a second later he heard his friend sigh, and when he looked up through his fringe again he saw that Roxas was smiling fondly at him.

"It's fine" Roxas replied quickly "I'll walk you to your classroom, I don't want Larxene causing you any more trouble" he added before grabbing Zexion's arm and dragging him away, the slate haired teen just managing to slam his locker closed before it happened.

It turns out that Zexion hadn't managed to grab his geography books before Larxene decided to attack them this morning, and so he sufficed by taking notes on a pad; he would transfer them later. The class was going good as usual until the door burst open, making everyone jump, Zexion whipped around to see a sandy blond haired teen standing in the doorway, his sea blue eyes pausing to look around the classroom and then falling when he saw everyone looking at him.

"Sorry I'm late" he muttered meekly in the direction of the teacher, stepping through the door frame but awkwardly leaning on one hip once he was there.

"Ah- you must be the new student-" the teacher started before pausing to look down at his roll "Demyx Watara?" he finished and looked back up at the teen still standing in the doorway.

'Demyx, huh?' Zexion thought, turning up his nose 'What a stupid name' turning away from the scene he looked down at his pad, finishing writing down the last sentence on the board.

"-Right, you can sit by Zexion" The teacher said, and Zexion froze; 'No' Zexion said firmly to himself, watching in slow motion as Demyx turned towards him to try and figure out who he was 'No, no, no, no, he can't sit here!' but it was too late to complain, he couldn't sign the teacher because he didn't understand what the periwinkle haired teen was saying.

"Zexion, please raise your hand" The teacher was now saying, looking directly at the periwinkle haired teen, and Zexion cursed once more before raising his hand and peeking sideways at the new kid; oh god, now he was staring, and smiling, his sea blue eyes locked directly onto Zexion's slate grays.

"Yes sir" Demyx replied happily and started towards Zexion, the periwinkle haired teen dropping his gaze to the desk as he heard the seat behind him squeak and Demyx sit down; The class slowly got over the shock of a new student and turned back to face their professor, whispering turning into quiet murmuring and then full out talking.

Zexion however was still trying to ignore the new student as he wrote down what the teacher had on his board, but after barely five minutes of not talking from Demyx's point the blonde finally broke and leaned closer before saying "Hey, I'm Demyx" and offering his hand to shake.

However the periwinkle haired teen was silent, firmly ignoring Demyx's hand. Maybe if she stayed silent enough the sandy blonde would just think he didn't want to talk to him, and hopefully leave him alone; unfortuantly there was no such luck and a second later a piece of paper fell in front of him.

'Zexion, right?' it read, making Zexion wince; he didn't want to talk to this idiot.

'Yes' Zexion wrote back and pushed the piece of paper towards Demyx's side of the desk, he couldn't actually see the teen because his long fringe got in the way; for a brief second he hoped that the sandy blond haired teen wouldn't reply, but then the piece of paper re-appeared.

'It's nice to meet you, I'm new here' Zexion read and then scoffed, this kid was just stating the obvious! Frowning to himself the periwinkle haired teen deduced this kid most likely very naive.

'I know' was his simple reply and with a small sigh Zexion pushed the piece of paper towards Demyx, there was no way the student could make a conversation out of that. Three minutes passed, then seven, and there was no reply from the new student as the periwinkle haired teen copied down notes from the textbook they were studying.

"Alright class, your homework is to read the next ten pages" Their professor called over the school bell, students immediately beginning to pack up and throw the books in mention in their bags "I will be checking tomorrow that you have, failure to complete this will lead to detention" he warned, but his threat fell on deaf ears as everyone rushed out the door.

After packing up his books and placing them carefully in his bag Zexion started towards the doorway, but just as he stepped through the doorway someone tapped him on the shoulder; it was Demyx. Wiping the scowl off of his face Zexion gave him a blank look, and motioned for him to speak.

"So uh- How old are yo-" Demyx went to start saying, but was cut off when another voice joined their conversation

"Zexion? Whose this?" turning the periwinkle haired teen saw that it was Roxas who spoke and subtly shook his head, he didn't want Demyx to know that he couldn't speak, so he would just let the sandy blond think that he didn't want to talk to him "-I see, come on then" Roxas added, his sky blue eyes flicking from Zexion to Demyx before starting down the hallway.

Zexion briefly looked over at Demyx, noting the small frown on his face, before shouldering past the sandy blond and following after Roxas.

"So who was that?" Roxas started as they stood outside Zexion's house, the blond had walked him all the way home in case Larxene attacked, "Your boyfriend?" he added in a teasing tone, not noticing it when the periwinkle haired teen flushed pink for a mere second before returning to normal.

"Be quiet" Zexion signed roughly and rolled his eyes; he was only ever this animated around Roxas when they were alone, but refused to even smile or show any emotion in public "He's just some new kid assigned to sit beside me in Algebra" he added.

"Pity" Roxas replied mockingly and leant onto one hip, just one of his many effeminate mannerisms, "He was kind of cute, with a lost puppy kind of look" he added and smirked at Zexion when the mute hid behind his hair.

"More like pathetic" Zexion signed back and turned to the left to unlock his front door, his mum wouldn't be home till six because of work so he was alone for two hours "When I didn't speak to him he started writing notes"

"Sounds like he likes you" Roxas replied making Zexion freeze, before thawing out and shaking his head-

"He just transferred here, he doesn't know me enough to like me" he signed shakily and stepped inside before dropping his bag by the door, turning to face Roxas again he opened the door a little more; asking silently if he wanted to come in.

"Cant" Roxas replied immediately and grimaced "I'm meeting up with Axel" he explained "But I'll see you tomorrow, and I'll text you tonight" he promised and stared at Zexion, daring him to make a rude comment.

Zexion sighed and shook his head, but honestly he didn't mind, he knew Roxas was crazy about Axel and that they spent all their time together; "Go" he signed, his smile was just the corners of his mouth twitching up, "It's fine, I'll just spend the rest of my night how I always do-"

"Thank you" Roxas beamed and started running away "I'll see you!" he yelled over his shoulder just before he disappeared around the comer; Once he was gone Zexion sighed again and slumped as he slowly closed the door, with his back against the wall he frowned and signed one more thing

"-Alone"

So I had the idea for this story just randomly one day, because I don't think I've ever seen a Zemyx story when one of them is blind; seeing as the Zemyx fandom is kind of small. I hope you enjoyed it, and please REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW as I greatly appreciate it! and it helps me write the next chapter.
