Happy Birthday, Zexion!=

Although Demyx knew he should have told Zexion sooner, he couldn't do it yet. The information Xigbar was giving him from Zexion's diary was very important. It even had a list of Zexion's favorite songs!! Not putting this to waste, Demyx immediately went on a crusade to gather Zexion's favorites of everything. When he gathered said materials, he then sought a bag to put them in.

He found a blue bag, which he immediately found a liking to. When searching for paper and a ribbon, he found a beautiful silver ribbon that was almost the same sheen as Zexion's hair. On top of the bag, its mild reflection of the blue made it exactly that color. Demyx smiled. This was going to be great!

He timidly took his gift to Zexion's room, knocking on the door softly and entering with caution.

"Ah, um, Zexion?" Demyx asked shyly, fidgeting slightly. Zexion sighed, setting down his book and taking off his reading glasses.

"What is it, IX?" Zexion asked, somewhat grumpy. He had been up late researching for Xemnas, and was rather cranky as a result. His expression quickly changed when Demyx held out a small bag for him to take. Zexion blinked. It was... so very cute. The metallic blue bag, with a silver ribbon and decorative white packing paper hiding whatever sat inside of it, was petite, yet perky. The expression of exitement on Demyx's face almost matched the gayity of the color of the bag. After a moment of hesitation, Zexion took the bag. "What... is this?"

"Open it!" Demyx cheered, his happy exitement rather contagious. Zexion untied the ribbon and pulled out the paper, pulling out two things. One was a CD with a mix of songs on it, and the other was a book light. "There's something else in there, too!" Demyx laughed. Zexion reached further into the bag and pulled out a package of expensive tea.

"What's all this?" Zexion asked, giving Demyx a suspicious look.

"Happy birthday, Zexy!" Demyx cheered.

"How did you know?" Zexion asked, frowning.

"Ah, well... Xigbar told me. "He... he said he read your diary, so before I told you, I figured I'd surprise yo--" Demyx stopped mid-sentence when Zexion cut him off with a kiss. It wasn't a very deep kiss - just a gentle peck on the lips. "Ze-Zexion??"

"Thank you, IX," Zexion cooed in a seductive voice. "I didn't want anything. The presents themselves aren't nearly as important as you remembering my birthday. I appreciate it. Now, if you'll excuse me... I've got to go slaughter Number II." Zexion took the ribbon, touched it to his lips, and inhaled through his nose. It smelled like Demyx. "I rather like this ribbon. Thank you."

"E-eh?? Ah... well... you're welcome, Zexy!" Demyx laughed, still flustered. Zexion smiled at Demyx before leaving his room to go seek an unsuspecting member of Organization XIII.

This explains why, among his other scars and stitches, Xigbar only has one eye.
