AN-
I barely know where I'm going with this. But the idea popped into my head and I'll be damned if I leave it there! Plus I'm starting to love writing first person. It makes me happy.
This will be a Next-Life fic :) Just so you all know.
So, yeah. Have fun, and I don't own any of the characters or KH or anything. In case you just were that stupid. If I owned them, the game would be an M. End of.
Pairings to look forward to are; Demyx/Zexion, Axel/Roxas, Riku/Sora, and more that I'll leave to the imagination now XD They are not really important anyway. The story is T, but if anyone thinks it should be higher, I'll bump it up :)
4th wall? What 4th wall? Demyx has NO FOUTH WALL MWHAHAHAHAHA-
Oh my God, this might be the best day of my life.
…
Well that was a wierd way to start out, right?
Yeah, maybe I should start from the beginning. No I don't mean 'once upon a time' or any of that stuff 'cause I seem to remember my teacher telling me that if I ever started a story that way, she'd maim me. I'm not going to start from my birth either since I… well there's really no point to that story. And the whole ordeal is blurry anyways.
Ok, anyway. So, hi! My name's Demyx and I'm like… seventeen? Yeah seventeen (my birthday was last month so please excuse my retarded-ness when it comes to remembering my age. I swear, if I didn't have a calendar, I'd still think I was 10).
I've got an awesome dirty-blond mullet-thing and aqua eyes that are apparently like the sea. Yuck, right? Well whatever bitches, I make it work. It's sort of weird really; my hair and eyes aren't from either of my parents, it's like they put their colorings in a bowl and swirled it round and out popped me.
Since I kind of mentioned them already, I'll tell you a little about my family, cause I know you're all just nosey whores and my family confuses most people anyway…
Yours truly is the oldest child of four. I'm the kid that the parent(s) shove all the responsibilities onto and expect to be the 'mature' one of their precious darlings. Although I'm probably the most immature out of us all. Well except maybe Sora, but I think he's constantly high - or just dumb.
Ok next in line is in fact, Sora. He was sixteen the last time I checked, but we can't rely on me for stuff like that…
Sora has brown hair that he got from our mother and it seriously spikes all over the place. Without any gel whatsoever. It's crazy; I don't know how the kid does it. He's got these giant baby blue eyes, which he got from dad, just like the rest of the kids (bar me) and they always look all nice and warm and stuff. He's all bubbly and is seemingly oblivious to everything bad in the world.
Ok, now this is where it gets complicated. See, the youngest siblings are twins called Roxas and Namine, and they're both sixteen (I think). They both have blond hair, but Namine's is really light blond and Roxas' is more… yellow-y.
God I suck at English, no wonder I'm failing.
So you're probably wondering why they're the same age as Sora right? That's because technically, the twins are only our half-siblings. We all have the same dad.
But! Before you start assuming our father is a whore or pimp or something, you honestly couldn't be further from the truth. Seriously, it's like he's got a stick up his ass.
Or… 'y know, something else.
…Anyway, dad's real name is Cloud Strife (ever heard of Strife Deliveries? THAT'S HIM!) And he kind of prefers it if we call him Cloud but I mostly call him dad to annoy him. I should probably stop doing that… he might get wrinkles from all the scowling.
Back in the day, all those years ago, Cloud was dating my mother, Aerith. From what I've heard they had been friends since pre-school and Cloud finally decided to grow some and ask mum out, but it was more because they were best friends then because of love or anything.
Now… I really don't want to have to go into details with this so, you'll get the shortened down version.
While I was an innocent one-and-one-month-year-old, sitting at home in my cot and not thinking much of anything, Cloud and Aerith had gone to a party at a friends house and got hammered (which –when I think about it- is hard to believe, and pretty irresponsible but whatever; I didn't ask for details thank you very much) and ended up having a… a- Oh god, I don't know if I can do this…T-they…
THEY HAD A THREESOME WITH TIFA!
…
… Oh my god it burns every time.
So, they did that and Cloud did something that made our grandparents want to slap the stupid outta him. He managed to get both Aerith and Tifa pregnant.
After many tears and tantrums, Aerith and Tifa decided that no one was to blame and they would be one big happy family. Thus, nine glorious hormone-crazy months later (it's a wonder dad survived), my brothers and sister were born.
Unfortunately, the happy family thing didn't last too long though. My mum and dad broke up a few months after the brats were born, it was a mutual thing because mum had caught onto the fact Cloud is gay. Hell, even he didn't notice until she told him. I heard he took it pretty well though. It was pretty awesome all round because I had two mums and a dad.
They all still tried to keep it together though, buying a huge house with the help of their parents and raising us for a couple years. Everything seemed like plain sailing from there but when I was ten, my whole world fell apart.
It was like god looked down on our happy little life in Radiant Garden suburbs and decided, 'hey, the Strife's haven't had any shit to deal with for years. I think it's time for a little reality check'. And boom.
My mum died.
…I'm pretty much over it now, but I still don't like talking about it; none of us do. Sora is the worst. Those few years after Aerith passed away, we really became extremely closer as a family – even when we got a new addition to the Strife's in the form of Cloud's boyfriend.
Leon Leonheart became our new father. He took the role amazingly considering he's worse then Cloud when it comes to emotions.
I have a theory that he's totally different then he lets on, cause he gets really overprotective and I once walked in on him and Cloud making goo-goo eyes at each other. I squeaked and they gave me the most TERRIFING glares in the universe.
They're perfect for each other, really.
When I turned fifteen we started to run a little low on money because of an incident that may or may not have involved water and… every room in our mansion of a house. Unfortunately, with Tifa, Leon and Cloud hanging over their tiny fourteen-year-old selves, Roxas and Sora quickly ratted me out as the perpetrator (God bless dear little Namine, my only loyal companion).
Did I mention that before the flooding, we all enrolled in a top class private school? No? Oh… well we did.
It was mostly paid for with mum's will, since that had been one of her last wishes. But with the cost of redecorating the house, my parent's eventually decided to dip into the Aerith Funds.
Don't think anything bad about them; we did need a house to live in.
After much debate and scraping by, I finally cracked when we started to cut back on food. Demyx needs his food. I did some hardcore searching and finally called a family meeting and announced that I could get into another school free of charge with a music scholarship. At first everyone was dead set against it, since to be honest, the school wasn't much compared to my current lifestyle.
In the end, it was Namine that put a stop to the arguing, pointing out that we would be bucket-loads better off and suggesting that it wouldn't be a permanent arrangement. God I love my sister.
Everyone went quiet for a bit before Leon glanced at Cloud and they did that thing lover's do where they communicate without speaking. The brunet stood up after their private conversation ended and looked me dead in the eyes. I still remember his words two years on,
"Demyx, you know we all love you and only want the best for you. But, if this is what you want, then your father, mother and I will work damn well hard to get back on our feet and provide for you again." Then he walked over and hugged me. Like, one of those manly hugs that Leon gave out severely rarely (not counting Cloud obviously). I think I was holding back tears. "Thank you for doing this for us, son."
I did let one or two slip then. But I hid my face in his arm so no one could see.
To be completely honest, I loathed my new school with a passion that rivalled my obsession with music. It was so… oh words can't even describe the hell I endured everyday. The students were monsters. And not like your usual school monsters either, no these guys were poor too.
Poor monsters that hated every fibre of my body since they figured I was a snob once a teacher 'accidentally' let slip that I lived on the nice side of town.
I tried not to let it show when I was home though (we stayed at Tifa's parents place while the house was getting fixed) but I think everyone noticed, since they started being freakishly kind to me.
It scared me more than anything to wake up an inch away from Roxas' scowling face when he volunteered to make me breakfast in bed. I couldn't waitto get back to my normal school just so I didn't have to endure that again.
Alas, I was stuck there for another two years. Two years, guys.
Oh hey, this gets us back to the beginning!
This is might be the greatest day of my life.
Today, my friends, the Strife/Leonheart/Lockhart family is moving back into their home. Don't ask me why it took two years to fix the damn place, I'm too happy right now to think about such minor details! Besides, the place is massive and there was a lot of water involved.
Well, since you've got the gist of my life up till now (unless I forgot something… well whatever) I'm going to end my little commentary and get back to the real story. Grab some popcorn, this will be the ride of a lifetime!
AN-
Ok, that seemed like a good place to end… Although it's not extremely long. That's cause this fic isn't seriously serious. Don't get me wrong, it will have it's moments, but it's more for me to let out my inner-madness that can't really come out with DYTM :P
I'm not sure whether I should stick to Demyx's 1st person… I have for like, the next two chapters (I'm ahead of myself lol) but… I dunno XD
I might eventually switch perspectives too, but I'm not sure right now. I haven't got this thing planned out very well.
Reviews are love guys.
