Why was I doing this? I tried to stay away from Marluxia's garden at all cost and now I'm braving it to get flowers.
"Are you guys sure he's gone?"
Axel placed a hand where his heart should have been. "That hurt Dem. Do you think I would lie about this?" he had a good poker face so I just nodded.
"Yeah you wouldn't put me in danger." If only I could see Roxas rolling his eyes as I went into the garden.
"That's a boy." I could hear Axel yell from the safety of there hiding spots. "Coast is clear."
I sneaked in and went to the closest rose brush. There was no sign of anyone so I started to pick some.
"Demyx?"
I looked up to see Mother Nature glaring down at me. "H-hi Marluxia." I stood up quickly to see his scythe out and ready.
"Do you want to die?" I laughed and realized I was the only one.
"N-no thanks." I said weakly and just stood there.
"Then get out." At that he brought down his scythe and I blacked out soon after.
I woke up to find Axel in a laughing fit and Roxas kicking him to shut up. I went to stand but my arm was in agony. "Smooth move, water boy." Roxas glared down at Axel and said something changing the pyromaniac's expression to shock and he turned away. "Well I'm surprised you lived." I looked up. Roxas held out his hand and pulled me up. "You can't use your arm for sometime. Just be lucky you still have one."
I noticed it was now covered and in a sling. I blinked "what happened?"
Axel spoke quietly. "Marly spotted you, scythed you, you fainted. We… well Roxas fixed your arm best he could." He looked over and met Roxas' glare and turned right back around.
"Great I can't give him the flowers like this." I stood there glaring at the flowers in Roxas hand.
"Yes you can. If you could do that suicide by entering the garden of doom, then you can give him flowers." I shook my head and started to walk off when I felt a pressure on my sling. I bit my lip and saw Axel holding on to one arm and Roxas the other.
"Let go of me!" I started to kick but Axel applied more pressure to my injured arm. I bit my lip again and stopped kicking. "Demyx I know your nervous but come on I'm sure he'd love it." Roxas opened a portal and they dragged me through.
"I hate you both."
"Yeah, yeah." Axel let go and pushed the flowers in my hand. "Go." He opened the portal. "Hi Bookworm." Both Axel and Roxas walked through but only Axel found me amusing.
"Hi, Demyx." After some staring at where they last where I slowly turned around to see who called my name. I knew that voice I absolutely loved his voice. "Z-zexion? I…I…" I hide the flowers behind my back and walked up to the table where he was reading.
"What happened to you?" he looked to my arm.
"Nothing I was just… why do you care?" I was so embarrassed and smacked my head, dropping the flowers on the table.
"So that explains the arm." He looked at the flowers then my face to see that the roses and I matched in color.
"I hope you like them." I stared at my feet not daring to see what he thought of them. All of a sudden I felt arms pull me into a hug.
"Are you kidding? I love them." I winced and jerked back.
"S-sorry it's just… Happy Valentine's Day." I blushed and pulled back.
"I know. Thanks." I sat down next to him feeling better about everything.
"Demyx?" He sat down and grabbed the book he was reading before hand.
"Yes?" I was humming merrily now.
"You do know that Valentines Day was over a month ago, right?" I blinked and sunk into my chair embarrassed more than ever. "It's okay better late than never." He kissed my cheek and I looked up smiling still unsure.
"Y-yeah I guess." He kissed my cheek again and went back to reading. I started to laugh and I caught his gaze. "Well, at least I remembered."
