~CHAPTER 1: I'll Wait for you~
I collapsed on the couch with a heavy sigh, allowing my deep blue bangs to bounce off my face as I sank into the cushions. It had been a long day; not a wink of sleep last night, endless, tiresome missions, and a hard day's work.
I pulled a book from between the cushions; a place Larxene and I keep any random book, leaving it there so the other could read it later, how all that started is a story for another time. Pulling out a small leather bond book from besides me, I flipped it open, not really caring what it was about; I just needed something to help pass the time, who know a castle in the literal middle-of-no-where could be so boring. I was ordered to wait at the castle until I was assigned another mission, even though I knew I wouldn't get one for some time.
I stopped reading around page 384, shocking myself by not remembering a single word I had read. I looked up to notice that the late morning had faded into the late afternoon. With a sigh, I watched the hands on the large mounted clock move slowly in endless circles from my slouched position on the long light blue couch.
Just as I thought I was about to scream from sheer boredom, I heard some one coming into the room behind me. With mild interest, I turned to stare a pale faced Demyx in the eyes. Ooh, he doesn't look good . . . hope he doesn't hurl.
I moved my feet form the couch just as he sank into to it. with concern in my eyes, I looked at him, really thinking he might barf.
"IX . . .you don't look too good. . ." I stated, sitting forward to continue staring into his aqua eyes. . . . had they always been so . . .captivating?
With a heavy sigh, the blond sat forward, swallowed hard, and looked into my eyes.
"I'm here to speak with Xemnas about my last mission, you know, the one I didn't complete!" his voice was a whisper but still scared as he tried to keep his voice down, no doubt trying to hide from some one. I reached out for his slumped shoulders and placed my hand on them, smiling warmly at him when he looked up.
"It'll be alright" I will admit, I'm not the best when it comes to soothing, but judging by the relaxing look on the blonds face, something told me he understood I was trying to be supportive. He smiled and, just before he could say something, Saix appeared around the doorframe behind the couch and coughed lightly as if trying to be polite. Please, Saix? Polite? Please, when hell freezes over. Speaking of freezing, under my hand I could feel Demyx stiffen and go cold and he swallowed hard and squeezed his eyes shut.
"o-oh. . . .Ok, I'll be right there," he answered shakily, not even giving the other the change to tell him what he wanted. As he stood, he opened his eyes again and I could tell he was inches from tears.
"Good luck, I'll wait for you" I whispered as comfortingly as I could. He tried to smile, the pain on his face wrenching deep into my chest, and nodded as he followed after Saix. I turned around and looked over the top of the light blue couch to watch the boy disappear through the thresh hold, head hung and feet dragging. I felt a pang of pity for him, even though Superior took a liking to him, I knew things wouldn't end well; after all, this was the third mission in a row he had not competed.
I turned back around and opened my book, planning to stay true to my word and wait for him. He really meant nothing more then a co-worker to me, but I knew that if he were to become sad, this entire castle would fall lifeless. Or so I had noticed the first time Xemnas had ordered to kill and he refused, pushing Superior to the point he beat Demyx; he didn't talk for weeks. Even though Xemnas was like a father to me, I am fully aware that some times he can loose his temper.
