"Why are you doing this to me?" exploded the frustrated Nobody.
"What?" asked Xigbar giving Demyx a confused upside-down look from his perch on the ceiling.
"You're driving me crazy!"
"Whad I do?" inquired the upside-down Nobody.
"You- you- You get under my skin. You get into my head."
"What are you talking about, kid?"
"I swear I'm going to go completely insane!" Demyx ranted.
Xigbar chose not to point out that this seemed to have already happened.
"You're driving me to it! You. All can I think about is you. I can't sleep because I'm thinking about you. I try to distract myself with my music and all I can write songs about is you. Do know how many stupid songs I've written about you? I can hardly eat because I'm thinking about you. I can't get anything done because I'm wondering what you're doing. I failed my last mission because I couldn't get my mind off you! Why? You make me feel so- so- so weak, so flawed, so useless. Whenever I'm near you, I totally go to pieces. Look at me; I'm a freaking wreck. You're making me go crazy. Why can't you leave me alone, damn it?"
The Nocturne stood there shaking, breathing heavily and glaring at Xigbar, fury dancing in his sea-blue eyes.
The older man sighed, flipped right side up and got his feet back on the floor. He slowly walked over to Demyx and smiled gently at him.
"I love you too, Dem," he whispered and, before Demyx could stop him, he kissed the irate blond.
Demyx was about to protest, about to throw him off, when he realized, to his horror, that Xigbar was right. He did love him.
However, the knowledge did nothing to calm his rage.
"Xigbar!" he cried, pushing the Freeshooter off.
"What?"
"No!"
"Why not?" Xigbar asked.
"We're not supposed to fall in love; we're not even supposed to have hearts!"
"I thought you always said we did," he pointed out.
"Yeah maybe, but falling in love?"
"Demyx, all I can think about is you. I can't keep my mind off you. When you're near me, I got to pieces. You make me feel weak. But you also make me feel whole." He smiled at the confused blond. "It's love Dem. I love you."
Demyx swallowed. It all made perfect sense expect for the fact that they weren't supposed to feel anything at all.
"I love you too Xig."
