Silence. That's the first thing Demyx noticed when he stepped through the threshold of his house. His eyes trailed over everything and finally landed on his couch. He walked over to it and flopped down, hair hanging in front of his eyes as he sighed softly.
It was lonely here, and, unlike other things he couldn't explain why. He was so smart, he was so clever, but he couldn't figure out WHY he was so lonely. Maybe it was the fact no one lived with him? No, you can't be lonely when you're alone. You're just alone. True loneliness is when you're alone with others, when you have a large group of people and none of them are truly your friend.
Maybe that was it...? he had so many friends but- maybe none of them were really his friends like he thought they were. Maybe he never really had friends.
He sighed, grabbing the remote and flipping the tv on, absentmindedly going through the channels, nothing catching his eye. He turned off the tv after a while of fidgeting and picked up his phone, no notifications from anything.
Tears threatened to spill but he shook his head, wiping at his eyes roughly and turning them a bright red, stinging slightly. The phone began to vibrate and he surpressed a yelp before scrambling to pick the stupid thing up.
"h-hello?" he said, cursing the fact his voice cracked slightly.
"hey dorky, what're you up to? I figured we could go and get some drinks with the gang or" he paused for a moment. "we could go alone?" his cheeks flared slightly and he looked down at his still shaky hands. Axel. He never left him alone...Demyx kind of liked it though.
"uh, I hadn't hung out with you alone in a while so I guess we could go out together?" he said, uncertainty lacing his voice as he messed with the hem of his shirt.
There was shocked silence on the other line. "great! I'll pick you up in ten" the red head said excitedly and hung up as Demyx sighed and shook his head slightly, a small smile playing on his lips as he stood up and went to the bathroom. His hands lingered on the knob for just a moment- did he want to go in and see what he looked like? Did he want to know what a few days of no sleep even looked like? He turned the knob slowly and gulped, his throat dry as he turned his head to look in the mirror.
Fuck. He looked like absolute shit. The bags under his eyes had bags and his skin was a pasty pale colour, resembling paper or...mayonnaise. ew. He made a disgusted face at his once bright corn coloured hair, now a dull blonde that hung un styled. He swallowed again and moistened his throat.
"shower first..." he said under his breath and reached in to turn on the water before stripping slowly and revealing his lanky body. His hand shot out to steady himself as he climbed in and let the hot water cascade over him. Mildly scalding. Perfect.
He scrubbed his hair and reached blindly for the shampoo, squirting way too much onto his hand and roughly working it into his thick blonde locks. He let out a sigh of relief as the tension dissapeared from his body, seeping out of his pores and joining the water as it flowed down the drain and into the pipes.
He began to think, a dangerous pastime. He wondered what it would be like to melt, to just slowly turn to liquid and float down the drain like the water did and live a carefree life, he could ed up in a fish tank, or a toilet, or someone's shower. Maybe he would cascade over someone else, causing them to think the same thoughts he was at this very moment. Water. He wanted to be water. He wanted to be clear, and blue, to be able to be whomever he wanted to be. Not 'stupid' or 'useless' or a 'dork'. He wouldn't have to be Demyx, he could be just plain and simple water. That sounds like the life...
he only realized how long he had been in there when he heard someone barge into his house, calling his name loudly. "
he cursed and got out, scrambling to dry off and get dressed.
"hold up Ax! I gotta do my hair!" he said. Axel's hearty laugh could be heard from the kitchen.
"take your time water boy- ooooh what's this?"his voice trailed off as he went to explore else where in Demyx's spacious house. He began to get worried as he rushed ut of his bathroom and ran towards where he last heard Axel.
"dude wha-" he froze as Axel began to laugh uncontrollably. He was in Demyx's room, holding some panties. "have someone over while I was gone? She still here? Seems like a babe" Demyx's snorted. "you wish hot stuff" he said and snatched the lacey thong from Axel's greedy hands. "let's go" he said and grabbed his vest, dragging Axel out of the house and back to his car.
"where for drinks?" he asked and looked out the car window at the buildings going past them, blurring into different colours.
"oh, some place I thought you might like. It's on the lake and has these boats that are anchored to the shore that you can get a table at and drink at" Axel said and flashed Demyx his pearly whites.
The car slowed to a stop and Axel got out, looking around and smirking to himself. Good choice. Demyx's exited the car and followed Axel's eyes.
"dude." he said
"i know" Axel answered. "i figured it was a great place for a first date Demdem" he said and grinned brightly as Demyx rolled his blue eyes.
"bull shit this is a date, I would never date you, you're too grabby, grabby mc grabgrab" he said and swatted Axel's hand away as it trailed up Demyx's back.
Axel's eyes gleamed. "I'll make you eat those words, ten bucks says I can't get into your pants in two weeks" he said.
Demyx's mouth twitched to form a devious grin, shaking Axel's hand roughly. "you're on lameo flameo"
He had completely forgotten his earlier episode, he always enjoyed the redhead's company. Maybe he would enjoy this bet...?
