A/N: Inspired by a joke from one of Kevin James' stand ups where he was talking about airports. Um, their last names are just their first names before they were nobodies.
Also, I've never been to an airport or been on a plane, so just try and bare with me.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own.
Zexion Ienzo turned around and began to drag his luggage, walking backwards while trying to weave through the crowd in the airport lobby. If he didn't hurry, he would be late for his flight, and his luggage was starting to feel heavier with every step.
Ignoring the angry shouts directed at him from the other people, he made his way to the security luggage check. Sighing, he grabbed one of his suitcases and attempted to put it up on the counter. After a few tries, he dropped the suitcase and sat on it, putting his head in his hands.
He stayed in that position until he felt a light tap on his shoulder. Looking up, his eyes were met by a smiling blond man in a security uniform.
"Sir, do you need some help?" the blond man asked, holding out his hand.
Zexion examined the man's face for a few moments before letting himself be pulled to his feet by the smiling security guard. "Um, yes actually, if you don't mind. I can't get my luggage on the counter to be checked," he said, giving the man a sheepish look from behind a curtain of grayish blue hair.
"Oh, no problem. You could have just asked me, you know," the security guard said, heaving Zexion's luggage onto the counter.
"I know. But I'd rather have done it by myself," Zexion replied.
The blond man nodded. "Well next time, make sure you ask. You're too cute to be lifting such heavy stuff."
Zexion blushed. He thinks I'm cute? Maybe he was joking.
"I'm Demyx, by the way."
The corners of Zexion's mouth lifted. "Zexion. And thank you so much for the help, Demyx."
"No problem, dude. It's all in a day's work." Demyx said, smirking.
Zexion took few steps forward before being stopped by someone's arm barring his way. Demyx stood in front of him, holding his arm out blocking Zexion's path, a metal detector in his hand.
Zexion groaned inwardly. I forgot about this part. No wonder he was smirking.
Holding his arms out so Demyx could scan them, Zexion sighed.
After emptying the loose change out of his pockets, and taking off his belt, Demyx finally nodded at him, signaling that he was free to go on his way.
Zexion rolled his eyes. Finally. Pulling the strap of his bag onto his shoulder, he grabbed the handle of his suitcase and dragged it off the counter. Nodding in thanks to Demyx, he started walking to the ticket holders' counter.
On his way there, he glanced up at the board showing all the flights to check the status of his flight. He scanned it for a few seconds before finding his flight.
Flight to Seattle - canceled
His flight had been canceled.
Meaning he would be stuck at the airport for another 6 hours.
On the opposite side of the USA.
He felt like crying. He stood there for a while, getting bumped by a passerby every so often.
After about 15 minutes, he decided to turn around.
Sighing for what felt like the thousandth time that day, he turned and dragged his suitcase back the way he came.
When he got back to the security luggage check, he dropped his stuff at Demyx's feet and collapsed on top of it.
"Are you alright? What are you doing back here, shouldn't you be on a plane right now?" Demyx asked him.
Zexion just shook his head, looking at the floor in defeat. "My flight was canceled. I'm stuck here for another 6 hours."
Demyx smiled hopefully at him. "Well...I get off work in about half an hour. You could come chill at my place to pass the time, if you wanted."
Zexion stared at him, thoughtful. He seems like a nice guy, but I barely know him. But anything would be better than staying here, in this crowded airport, for 6 hours, by myself.
"Yes. That'd be great."
A/N: I feel like this is off to a very awesome start. This is gonna be fun to write. It started off as Roxas instead of Zexy and Axel instead of Dem-Dem, but if it had been AkuRoku, the story would be completely different.
Reviews would make me super happy.
