Disclaimer: Square Enix/Disney owns all. I own a really cool Demyx necklace. But that's pretty much it. Not making any money off this either.

Warnings: Ice cream and cuteness. FLUFF in other words.

For sexorcist on LJ, because she is fucking sick of that AkuRoku stuff and wants Demyx to get more love

Demyx had really hoped that if they got any new members that they would be cool. And at first, hanging so close to Axel, and so quiet and usually armed, Demyx doesn't think number 13 is that cool. He really wants someone he can hang out with, someone he can really connect with, y'know? Because, sure the Dancers don't laugh at him or anything, and they're amazing performers, and his biggest fans a hundred and ten percent, but they aren't really big on conversation or chocolate ice cream. They just don't 'get it.'

He's trying to find a corner where he can jam by himself without being called on to do any work, when he runs into Axel and Roxas fighting.

"Do you practice to be this much of an idiot," Roxas snarls. "Or is it just natural?"

It's obviously near the end of the fight and Axel storms off.

"See if I ever buy you ice cream again!" he shouts as he leaves. Demyx smiles to himself to see Axel knocked down a knotch. Axel has been shit to him since he came into existence, maybe because Saïx was so awful to him or something, but then Luxord came and Axel wasn't a jerk to him. Luxord is okay, Demyx supposes, but he seems disturbed that Demyx doesn't care if he loses. Luxord says he's boring, but Demyx still says if they get their hearts back and Luxord establishes that casino he says he dreams about then the band that Demyx dreams of founding will come their on tour and bring all sorts of fans and business and stuff. Like he said, Luxord is okay.

But Luxord doesn't really like ice cream. Apparently 13 does. Demyx strikes a pose against the wall, looking cool.

"Hey there," he says as Roxas passes.

Roxas shoots him a glare and says nothing. Demyx follows after him, just outside of quick hitting distance.

"So, hi," he reiterates. Roxas looks over his shoulder.

"Hi," he finally responds.

"What's your favorite flavor?" Demyx asks.

"What?" Roxas asks.

"Of ice cream," Demyx clarifies. "What's your favorite flavor?"

Roxas looks at him like he's crazy, but Demyx is really used to that.

"Sea salt," he says.

"Oh wow!" Demyx says. "That's a flavor of ice cream?"

"Yeah," Roxas says. "You've never had it?"

"No," Demyx says. "Rocky road is as adventurous as I get with ice cream. My favorite flavor is mint."

Roxas stops and looks at him, thoughtfully.

"You'd probably like sea salt then," he says.

"Cool!" Demyx grins. "So let's go get some!"

Roxas looks confused.

"I really only ever get ice cream with Axel," he admits.

"I'm sure he won't mind," Demyx jokes. Roxas snorts and smiles slightly.

"Hey, do you like the ocean?" Demyx asks, walking along side Roxas now.

"Yeah," Roxas says, and Demyx hears something wistful like a good Billie Holiday love song in Roxas' voice. "I like the beach."

"Awesome," Demyx says. "After we get some 'sea salt' ice cream, we should go to this place I know."

"Where?" Roxas asks, curious. Demyx looks him in the eyes. Roxas sure is a cool kid.

"Hawaii," Demyx repliess. "You'll love it. It's a chain of volcanic islands, tons and tons of beaches and sand and ocean."

"Cool," Roxas says, smiling. 'Yeah, exactly,' Demyx thinks to himself. 'Cool.'
