Namaste
Author's Note: This story is dedicated to two people this time (can I do that? I am anyway, lol). First up is my awesome yoga instructor, MisCris. She gave me so many pointers and ideas for this story. Secondly, to my Pahoyhoy (who didn't see that one, lol), as I believe this might be the last story that I post before your little bundle of joy comes and makes you a mama! I love and miss you so much! Story onwards!
Stifling a yawn, the young man of slate grey hair pulled his car into a parking spot. He had been up far into the night working on his master thesis and hadn't gotten to bed until nearly 3am. How he had managed to drag himself out of bed to make it this 8am class had been beyond him. As he put his car in park, another yawn tried to escape him. Reaching down, he drained the last of his bought coffee despite the fact that the last mouthful was cold. What he wouldn't have given for another couple of hours of sleep.
"Zexion!" the loud cry of his name caused Zexion to jump visibly, and the accompanying thump on his window made the over tired man to look up at the driver's side with a glare. There, with her hands pressed against his window was Naminé, a broad smile on her face. Rolling his eyes at the obvious overabundance of energy that the blonde girl hand, the slate haired man silently cursed the fact that he continued to come to this class, especially when he was this over tired. Flipping off the ignition, Zexion paid no attention at all to the blonde girl as he got out of the car, reaching into the back seat and grabbing his gym bag. "Good morning, Zexion!" Naminé said cheerily. Zexion just raised a single eyebrow, wordlessly telling her that he wasn't to the stage of speaking yet this morning, earning a laugh from her. "Late night, Zex?" a male voice sounded, and with a quick glace behind him, the slate haired man saw his cousin Riku approaching him, the taller man's arm wrapped tightly around the shoulders of a girl of dark auburn hair. Riku and Kairi had been together for nearly three years now, yet they still acted like they were in that nauseatingly sweet stage of their relationship. Though, with their wedding happening in less than six months' time, it was sort of expected for them to still be acting all moonstruck with one another. Zexion just nodded to his cousin's question, shifting his bag higher on his shoulder as the four of them began to walk towards the gym entrance. They were easily some of the only people in the facility at this hour. 8 am, Saturday and a gym weren't necessarily the best combination. "We'll meet the two of your in the yoga studio, alright?" Riku said, giving Kairi a quick kiss, nodding towards the locker rooms. "Okay. We'll be there in a few minutes," Kairi smiled, hooking arms with Naminé as they made their way towards the ladies changing rooms, giggling all the way about something. Feeling as if he was in a bit of a daze, Zexion silently followed Riku, setting his bag down on the floor when they came to their rented lockers. Neither man felt the need to speak as they changed into their gym wear quickly. After locking the rest of their things in their lockers, both men grabbed their yoga mats and headed off to the studio. As usual, they had beaten the girls here and were also the first ones in. with no one else here yet, they laid out their mats in their preferred spots and began stretching. After only a few minutes, Kairi and Naminé came in, still laughing together at something, coming over to spread their mats alongside the boys'. "So, I guess that Marluxia isn't going to be teaching the class today," Naminé said with an almost wicked grin as she smoothed out her dark purple mat next to Zexion's. "One of the girls told us when we were in the locker room." "What?" Zexion exclaimed with a groan, his cobalt eyes going wide. Marluxia was pretty much the only reason why he took this early yoga class. If he had known that he wasn't going to be here today, Zexion would have come to the late afternoon class instead and slept in a little longer… "Ooh! He talks!" Kairi giggled from the other side of Riku. Even his silver haired cousin let out a few chuckles at his cousin's expense. Naminé continued to laugh as well. "I guess that he and Larxene have gone off on yet another honeymoon. How many does that make now in the last year since they got married? Four?" Rolling his eyes in an attempt to stop the conversation before it even started, Zexion just began to do some warm up poses. Marluxia: the source of most, if not all of Zexion's sexual frustration. The pink haired man had been teaching this class for the entire 2 years that Zexion had been coming, and was the only reason he came to these early morning classes even though he really wasn't a morning person. From the moment that Zexion had laid eyes on the yoga instructor, he had fallen for him and fell hard. Marluxia was tall, lean and had clear blue eyes the colour of sparkling periwinkles, but his only fault was that he was straight as an arrow, despite his slightly flamboyant nature. Zexion was not straight, nor was he female, so it left him hopelessly in love with a man he could never have. Despite knowing that Marluxia was now married to a blonde woman named Larxene, who was the epitome of spoiled rich bitch who was surprisingly nicer than she seemed, Zexion continued to come to this yoga class, if just to fantasize and look at Marluxia in the figure revealing yoga clothing he wore. It wasn't much, but it was enough to keep that small glimmer of hope alive inside Zexion. Everyone kept telling Zexion to give up and move on, but the slate haired man couldn't bring himself to do it. So he contented himself by continuing to take Marluxia's yoga class if only to watch the discreetly. Noticing the expression on his cousin's face, Riku decided to help him out a little by changing the subject. "So where's Roxas this morning, Nams?" he asked as he pulled his long silver hair into a ponytail. Naminé just smiled at the mention of her boyfriend of six years, "He worked the graveyard shift last night, so he's still asleep. Then I guess he's going out with Sora and Axel for a bit." "I can't believe that Sora and Axel got back together already," Kairi laughed. "I mean, I thought that they were taking a break because they thought that they were moving too fast. That lasted what, a whole two weeks? I don't know why they won't just admit that finally getting together was the best thing they could have ever done." Deciding to tune out the gossip about their friend's love lives, Zexion focused on his stretches. Hearing that he was once again the only one in their group that was single was slightly depressing. It had been almost three years since he and Lexaeus broke up, and although most of the time, he filled the time with his schooling, often the slate haired man felt lonely. "Oh my gosh! Demyx?" Naminé said, suddenly sitting up board straight on her mat. The other three looked up at the newcomer that was walking through the door, a rainbow coloured yoga mat under his arm. He was tall with dirty blond hair that looked like he hadn't bothered to brush it this morning, leaving most of it sticking up on top while some fell flat in the back. Bright green eyes were sparkling with a bright smile that he also wore plastered on his lips. "Nami? I didn't know you took this class!" He said, coming to stand in front of their small group. As soon as he did, Naminé jumped up and gave him a tight hug, kissing him loudly on the cheek. He returned the hug eagerly before placing his own kiss on the smaller girl's head. She just grinned broadly, "Yeah, we've been coming for about two years now. When did you get back in town?" Demyx let out an almost musical laugh, "I just got back last month. I was planning on calling you this afternoon actually. I'm so glad to see you again! So, who is everyone?" the blond man asked, looking down at the other three with his arms still wrapped tightly around her shoulder. "Oh, right. Them," she winked, "Everyone, this is Demyx, he's my cousin. We basically grew up together. Demy, this is everyone. You remember Kairi. This is her fiancé Riku, and Riku's cousin Zexion." As she spoke, the blonde girl pointed to each of her friends in turn. When she got to Zexion, she had a mischievous light in her eyes, an idea and a plan formulating in her mind instantly. Zexion looked up to meet the emerald green gaze of Demyx and at once, found himself mesmerized. He had never before laid eyes on someone so beautiful in his entire life. A stirring sensation suddenly appeared in the pit of his stomach, fluttering up his chest and seizing his vocal cords. Blue eyes scanned the taller man who stood so close to him, and nothing that he saw was making that feeling go away. Demyx was lean, but the black yoga pants he wore clung to his long legs, easily showing the firm muscles. A blush suddenly erupted on Zexion's face as he attempted to avoid looking at the front of the blond's pants with no success. Though he wasn't disappointed with what he saw, that was for sure. Continuing to move his gaze upwards, the slate haired man swallowed hard at the lump in his throat at the sight of Demyx's muscled arms that were shown off by a soft green tank top. "Nice to meet you all!" he said cheerfully, proving that morning alertness must run in Naminé's bloodline. Out of the corner of his aqua eyes, Riku noticed his cousin's appearance to this new man and decided then and there to do something about it. Zexion had been hung up on the unobtainable Marluxia for far too long now, and it was high time that he intervened. There was absolutely no reason that Zexion couldn't pursue this newcomer, provided that Demyx was into guys. "So, why are you taking this class Demy? I thought that you had your yoga instructor's courses all done now." Naminé began to braid her long honey coloured locks, ignoring everyone but her cousin, though she saw Riku trying to catch her eye. When she looked over towards the silver haired man, there was no missing that Zexion's gaze was transfixed on the blond instructor. 'Is Demyx into guys?' Riku mouthed at her and instantly they knew that they were on the same track of mind. He only received a mischievous grin from her, not really a solid answer. "Oh, I'm not taking this class," Demyx laughed, "I'm teaching it. I've known Marluxia for a couple of years now and he offered me this class while he's gone for the next couple of weeks. He actually was one of my instructors that helped me get my certification." Naminé just grinned as the plan she had come up with began to fall into place. "That's awesome!" She exclaimed, genuinely excited to see her cousin again after so long. "So, we totally need to get together after class and catch up! I haven't seen you since the holidays and you can only say so much through texts and emails. So, are you and Xigbar still together? You seemed to be pretty that you two finally got together." Though she was curious for her own knowledge, he particular questions held a dual purpose. Sighing, Demyx walked up to the front of the studio and dropped his things off there. "No. That went sour almost as fast as it started. Mutual break up though. He just isn't into guys enough to stay with one too long. He just likes to chase cute asses until he can have them, sleeps with them for a while, then he gets bored. Last time I heard, he was chasing after a girl named Tifa." Zexion felt his eyes go wide listening to the jovial voice. Had he just heard right? Had Demyx really just admitted to dating guys? No, it couldn't be. There was no way that this unbelievably hot guy was really gay. That would be just far too convenient. Mutedly he could hear Kairi and Naminé still talking to the blond instructor, but other than that, he paid absolutely no attention to anything else going on around him, losing himself in a zone as he tried to rationalize the instant attraction that he felt for a man that he had just met and knew absolutely nothing about. Riku could easily notice the trance his cousin had fallen into and smirked to himself. This might be a lot easier than he thought. Obviously Zexion was feeling the pull of attraction towards Demyx, and if he wasn't mistaken, Riku noticed that the blond man's gaze fell onto his cousin more often than not, a surprising light ghosting in those green eyes. Now he only needed to get Naminé alone to learn exactly what the plan, because he knew that she must have one, was. She really had a knack for matchmaking. It was because of her that he and Kairi had gotten together and recently engaged. Even Axel and Sora had to thank the blond girl for getting them together despite the fact that they had known each other for their entire lives due to the fact that Axel was Roxas' best friend since elementary school and Sora was Roxas' twin brother. If Naminé thought that Zexion and Demyx would be good for one another, she was probably right. Eventually Demyx left their little group as the few other people coherent enough to make it to a class this early entered the room and began to set up. As soon as the blond instructor left them, Zexion broke out of his trance to see Riku smirking at them. "Seeing something interesting that you like, Zex?" Riku whispered with an almost sinister smirk. Zexion just blushed, looking away from his cousin, not wanting to deal with Riku and his airs of superiority at the moment. So what if he thought that Demyx was hot? And that Demyx was gay? It didn't automatically mean that they were going to fall into bed together. After all, who said anything about a bed being necessarily involved? Sex could happen anywhere. At the train of thought, Zexion felt the burn on his cheeks intensify and that drew a chuckle from Riku. "Shut up," grumbled the slate haired man. Before Riku had a chance to respond, Demyx stood up at the front of the class, clapping his hands in front of him, "Good morning everyone! I'm Demyx, and I'll be taking over Marly's class for the next couple of weeks while he's away. He'd told me that this is a fairly advanced class, so I thought that we could start off with some gentle warm ups, then our sun salutations, then maybe move on to some twists." The dull drone of voices mumbling agreement proved that Zexion wasn't the only non-morning person in the crowd of seven. Demyx ignored the slightly sleepy tone of everyone and just went over and pressed play on the small stereo system in the corner, filling the room with the serene sound of gentle music. "Alright everyone, let's start in mountain pose," Demyx said, putting his hands in pray position. There was no sound in the room other than the tranquil music and the instructions of which position they were to move into next. Zexion found that he was barely able to concentrate on what pose he was supposed to be moving into. He was spending too much time watching the lean and limber body moving so fluidly from one pose into the next. The slate haired man found the tones of Demyx's voice so musical and hypnotizing that he longed to hear it saying words and making other noises. The tightening in his stomach was only growing worse as they moved through the salutations, and Zexion wasn't sure how he would manage if the instructor would fixate his attention on just him. "And now we'll come back into prayer position. How's everyone doing?" Demyx said, breaking the trance like state of the entire class. He got a few more eager responses as the class began to wake up a little more. "Now, before we move onto twists, would you guys like to do some balances?" he asked, hearing some affirmative answers. "We'll start in standing then. Lift your left leg. Good. Now extend. Back. Out to the side, and just watch that you don't dig your heel into your knee. Now cross over and bow, alright, and back down to standing. Let's move onto the right side." They followed through and for the first time, Zexion found himself able to balance perfectly though the entire motion as long as he remained focused on Demyx's voice. But as soon as he thought of that, his mind began to race, and he knew that the temporary control was lost. "If we move into Dancer, does anyone need to use a strap?" A few people nodded and then Demyx began to hand out rolled up straps to the people who asked for them. Zexion blushed once again as his fingers brushed against Demyx's as he accepted the bright blue strap from the blond man. And though he may have been imagining things, Zexion could have sworn that he saw a light smile appear on the instructor's face when they touched. No, that couldn't be. His imagination was just playing tricks on him. After a few minutes, Demyx returned to the front of the class, his ever present grin still on his lips. "Alright, we'll start with the right leg this time. Those of you using the straps, make sure to wrap it firmly around the front of your foot. Make sure to keep your knee in line with your body. Extend your arm, yes, that's it. I'm going to come around and check your forms. Try and bring your back legs up a little further, but don't strain yourself. And don't bend too far forward." Trying to keep his pose form proper, the slate haired man found even the simplest movements slightly more difficult than usual. He knew that he had been able to do Dancer before without the strap, but with how unpredictable each pose before had been, he didn't want to take any chances. Though he was concentrating holding the pose as best he could, Zexion's attention was on the man wondering through the classroom. "You could probably get better attention from him if you didn't just stare at him. Try saying something," Riku muttered with a chuckle. Zexion could only send a glare as he watched his cousin lift his leg up about to his shoulder, remaining perfectly upright as he did so. Damn show off. Before he could find it in him to reply with a snide remark, the slate haired man was painfully aware of a presence right next to him. "Zexion isn't it?" the musical voice said, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall over. "Y-yeah," he answered in a slightly hushed voice in order to mask his nerves. Suddenly a set of warm hands were placed against his elevated leg. Zexion could swear that they were burning holes right through his pants and scorching onto his legs. "Careful about how you do this. Your knee is going out to the side too much. Try to bring it in a little more or else you may hurt your hips," Demyx said, pushing Zexion's leg in a little bit. Each second that the blond touched his body, the slate haired man felt like he would melt. He hadn't felt like this around anyone else in his entire life. No one had ever been able to pull a reaction like this from him. And he didn't even know this man! "Hold on a sec," Demyx said, removing his hand from Zexion's leg. The loss of contact broke Zexion out of his trance, and lowering his leg, he turned to face the blond, unable to look away from the intense aqua eyes that were bearing into him. "Yes?" he said, prating that his voice was steady. "I think you might do better without the strap," Demyx said with a grin. "Why don't you try it for me?" Zexion could swear that he heard a chuckle from next to him and promised himself that he would get revenge on his cousin very soon. Under the unnerving and watchful eye of the instructor, he moved back into the pose, this time without using the bright blue strap. "That looks so much better, Zexion!" Demyx exclaimed with a grin. "See how that keeps your hip and leg in better alignment? Keep up the good work!" with that said, the blond moved on to the next student, leaving Zexion there. With a sigh, the slate haired man released the pose, coming to stand on both feet again. "You know, I almost decided to 'fall' and bump into you so that you'd crash into him," Riku smirked as he moved onto the other leg. Zexion's response was to snort. "I don't know what you're talking about," he said as he lifted his other leg up as well. "Sure," laughed the silver haired man," I still think that you should just go for it." Rolling his eyes, Zexion turned away and said, "Whatever." Ignoring his cousin and everyone else around him, Zexion continued through the routine, aware of only the melodious sound of Demyx's voice. Before he knew it however, Demyx finished going through the different twists and was instructing them all to move onto their backs for relaxation. The instructor went to the front of the room, turning off the lights and turning on a cd of ocean sounds. "Now, imagine yourself on a nice warm beach, relaxing to the sounds of the waves on the warm sands. The warmth coming from below you and hitting you from above," he said, his voice barely above a whisper as he continued to wander between the mats, keeping a sharp and trained eye open for any looks of pain on any of the student's relaxing faces. He wanted to make sure no one pushed themselves too far. The slate haired man found it hard to just lay there, especially because he could easily feel the emerald gaze passing over him several times. How on earth would he be able to relax during that? His body may have been relaxing, but his mind was racing. Did he take Riku's advice and just go for it? Or should he resign himself to the fact that Demyx probably wouldn't be interested in him anyway. Why would Zexion set himself up for rejection? Honestly he didn't think he could take any more of that. So as they continued to listen to the calming words that Demyx recited, Zexion found himself unable to relax at all. "Now, slowly roll onto one side and then into a sitting position," Demyx said in a hushed tone, signalling the end of their relaxation period. As Zexion moved to his seated position, he noticed that no few people had taken their sweet old time to move out of their relaxing state. Obviously he had not been the only one fully entranced by the musical quality of the instructor's voice, though he doubted that anyone else had been captured for the same reasons as he had been. Once everyone had come back into a sitting position, Demyx turned to each of them in turn with his hands steeped in front of his chest and bowed, repeating 'Namaste' to every student in turn. When he reached Zexion, the slate haired man swore he could have seen a flash of something appear in the blond's eyes that disappeared almost as fast as it had appeared. Bowing slightly, Demyx left his gaze locked with Zexion's as he smiled gently, "Namaste." "Namaste," Zexion repeated, mirroring the blond's movements. He felt as if the word had triggered a wave of tremors that passed through his body. They only lasted a scant second before Demyx moved onto the next student, unknowingly leaving Zexion a quivering mess inside. "Thank you everyone for an awesome class. I'll be teaching this class for the next three weeks while Marluxia is away. See you all next week!" At those words, the entire class broke into chatter among themselves as they all began to pack up their mats and belongings. "So, are you still missing Marluxia, Zexy?" Naminé grinned as she began to roll her own purple mat up. "Who?" Zexion questioned before he really heard the question. "Oh my goodness! Could it be that Zexion is finally over the regretfully straight Marluxia he has been in love with for two years?" Kairi exclaimed dramatically as her own pink mat was slid into its carrying case. "Shut up," Zexion growled, hoping to suppress the blush he knew that was forming on his cheeks, but from the way that the girls were giggling, he knew that he had failed. "Lay off him for a bit." Salvation came from an unexpected source in Riku. There had to be some sort of ulterior motive there. Raising a single eyebrow, Zexion had to wonder what his cousin's angle was for this. "Let him think on it for a day or two, then you two can tease him all you want." There it was. "Party pooper," Kairi giggled, sticking her tongue out at her fiancé who just smirked and shrugged. "Anyway, we're going to grab some breakfast. Did you want to join us, Zex?" Naminé said with a smile as they all walked out of the studio. Unfortunately, Demyx seemed to have slipped out as they all were rolling up their mats, so Zexion hadn't been able to get one final look at the hot blond instructor. He'd definitely make sure he'd be here next Saturday though. "No thanks. I'm going to go run on the treadmills, then I need to get home and work on my thesis some more," Zexion said, politely declining the invitation. After all, breakfast with these guys would most likely turn into a major teasing session with Zexion as the subject of all the teasing. What he needed was some time to sort out his thoughts. And a good run should be able to do just that. "Okay then, I'll see you on Monday, Zex," Naminé said, giving him a quick one armed hug. As she pulled him in close, she held him there for a moment in order to whisper, "For once, listen to Riku," into his ear. Pulling back in confusion, Zexion watched as the girls walked off to the girl's locker room. Without a word, Zexion then headed towards his, oblivious of where Riku was, and honestly not much caring. Opening his locker, the slate haired man placed his yoga mat in it before digging out a pair of socks and running sneakers from his gym bag. After he got his shoes on, he reached in and grabbed his iPod as well and in a matter of seconds, he was on his way towards the treadmills, not acknowledging Riku at all. .
