AN: Prompt number 17 - "Cats". I struggled with this for a few days, and then it suddenly came to me.
Zexion glowered as Demyx adjusted his costume for what felt like the thousandth time. They were, as usual, going to be late to Sora's birthday party, which didn't matter to Demyx, as he was late to everything, but it bothered Zexion, who liked to be on time. Sora wouldn't mind, but it was the principle of the thing.
"Ooh, I know what this costume needs."
Zexion sighed, burying his face in his hands. He would have slumped in a nearby chair, but Demyx had forbidden him to sit down in case he flattened his tail. Yes, that's right, his tail.
Why, oh why, could Sora not be a normal eighteen year old and have a normal party, of the sort that included music and alcohol and not a lot else? Kairi had explained, when she'd delivered the invitation, that Sora wanted all the things he'd missed out on when he was being the Keyblade Master, and that, apparently, included a fancy dress party. It could have been worse, Zexion mused, but he wasn't entirely sure how. Especially when you took into consideration the costume that Demyx had made for him. Since Demyx had actually made it (Zexion had watched him do it), it seemed unnecessarily cruel to refuse to wear it. Even if he was currently dressed as a cat. Complete with a tail, a headband with attached ears, and rather too much furry stuff for Zexion's liking. At least it didn't include a collar.
Yet. It didn't include a collar yet, Zexion reluctantly reminded himself, wondering if that was what Demyx had rushed off to find.
When Demyx returned, Zexion found himself plunged into the depths of despair. What Demyx was proudly waving in the air wasn't a collar. That would have been far more acceptable than this. What he'd found, and expected Zexion to wear around his neck, was a pale pink ribbon.
"I don't even want to ask where you found that. We don't own anything pink."
His fussing did absolutely nothing to deter Demyx. Not that he'd expected it to have any effect.
"I am going to eviscerate both you and Sora later because of this."
"Zexion, stop grumbling. You look adorable." Demyx paused, looking at Zexion's face. "Well, you would, if you weren't scowling."
"That is entirely your fault, I hope you know."
