Under The Mistletoe

Demyx's POV


I was just in my room, minding my own business when Axel decided to 'pop' in.

"Hey, Demyx." He said cheerfully.

"What?" I groaned. Axel was smiling a little too nicely.

"Got something I wanna show ya."

I couldn't help being curious. "Really? What?" Usually Axel tried to hide things from me.

"Can't tell you, just c'mon." he grabbed my arm and pulled me out into the corridor. The other members were all standing around in a tight circle. It was like they were waiting for something.

"What's going on-Ah?!" Axel pushed me into the middle of the circle. At the same time I saw Larxene being hurled in from the opposite side.

"What do you think you're doing?!" she was screaming. "Let go of me!" They reached the edge of the circle and threw her in. She stumbled and fell to the floor next to me. She dusted herself off as she got to her feet. "You…" She glared at me like it was all my idea.

"Ooooh." I heard Axel sing. "Look who's under the mistletoe."

I glanced at Larxene. The look in her eye told me she wanted to strangle someone. Me or Axel?

"Um, I-I, uh," I stammered. Now what? Larxene wasn't even looking at me. She was glaring at the crowd around her. Looking like a hungry cat waiting to pounce. She made a run for it, but Xigbar snatched her arm and dragged her back. There was no escape.

"No way you're getting away that easy." I heard him tell her. I was terrified by the look on her face. It was a combination of fury and fear. The look of a trapped animal. I didn't even want to know what she might be capable of doing then. She looked up at me and seemed to regain some control. She stood up straight and her eyes met mine. She was pleading with me. I chose not to react.

"Fine," she said. "Let's just get this over with."
