Lilly here! Okay, now you all know why I haven't updated Spell Check. I thought this up, because I'm a SiFi nerd.(plus the plot fairy came and raped me giving me a good idea) This took me...hmm...Two weeks?(T-T and sadly it's only three thousand words) This is my first time a Zemyx and I'm worried that I haven't made Zexion's character right. Please tell me if I have or haven't. It'll really help me.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zexion, Demyx, or in a sad note Marluxia. I do own this crazy plot though, and that makes me happy! I also don't own the song Secret Crowds by Angels and Airwaves, though it is a very good song.

It would be a lie if I told you I have never seen the color blue...Not truly, but yes, I have seen it. By looking up at the moon, because on my planet...there is no blue.
Only red.
I live on Uykyia, the music planet of the entire galaxy I do not like music, it irritates me. Which is strange because I know of no one who dislikes music on this planet. What interests me? Well, I love technology. Science, when it comes down to it. Everything about it just fascinates me. I have read a lot of science books(in which I found were surprisingly up to date)...Illegally. The technology planet is our moon, Hershply. And I know pointing out that seems off topic, but it isn't because we, the people of Uykyia are at war with the people of Hershply. So technology other than the necessities are illegal, never once have I seen a person from Hershply. I bet they're amazing, smart intelligent people. (I happen to be MUCH smarter than most the people in this god awful planet, make that all)
My name? Well, my name is Zexion. Zexion Necyal, and my life on this planet...is hell.

"Hm, What's wrong Zexy?"
"Nothing go away" I made a 'shoo' signal with my hand to my friend Marluxia, who had been continually annoying me all through the day, I just wanted to read my book, what that too much to ask?
He put his arms behind his back and leaned forward, his face now a little too close for comfort "What cha readin' Zexy?" I turned the book to his face and forcefully slammed it on his nose. Him howling in pain. I removed the book, got up, and waked away as if nothing happened.
"I told you to leave me alone" I said before walking onto the bus that had just pulled up. Leaving my friend holding his nose and looking a tad bit confused, I smiled to myself. He deserved it!
I looked to the sky, the bright red sun(yes the sun is red here not orange as I would later find out earth's was)setting and the beautiful blue moon arose. I stared at it, my face emotionless, when really I wanted to cry. I wanted to be there. On the planet of technology, Hershply. I closed my eyes and made a wish, a deep earnest wish.
Whatever is waiting for me when I die, god? Or nothing, I wish...I wish that someone will come and take me to the technology planet of the galaxy...Hershply!
My eyes suddenly shot open when I herd screaming. No, there was a raid? Why now?
The bus suddenly stopped and everyone went running cowardly screaming and scrambling in different directions. I hurried off myself, I certainly didn't want to be killed by the very people I wanted to someday be in peace with. I ran. Fast. Their was a flight ship full of soldiers lading.
My running was futile, I crashed into one of them.
I looked up at the man I had ran into in a desperate attempt to get away. I scrabbled back what must have bin at least four or five feet. The only thought going through my mind was 'I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.' I squeaked out very softly "please don't kill me" My face was now dripping tears and I hadn't even noticed. "Please" I looked up to him, eyes full of tears. I was believed I was going to die, I didn't want to die. I hadn't bin to Hershply yet, I still needed to live.
He was going to kill me.
But no, instead he walked over to me slowly crossing each foot with every step he took a bright bubbly smile on his(now that I had a got a good look at it)pretty face "Now why would I do that?" He held out a hand to a frightened me, he giggled "That beautiful blue slate hair would be tarnished with blood. Wouldn't want that now would we?"
Still terrified I shook my head, as if it had bin an order, his smile turned into a pout and he rested his hands on his hips "Humph, I already told you I wasn't going to hurt you. Not everyone from Hershply is a monster" His hand was again held out to me, his bright smile returning "I'm Demyx and I love your planet"
"Music?" I questioned, I knew that was probably the answer, and it was. He nodded. I rolled my eyes "It gets annoying after a while" I took his hand and he helped me up, I dusted myself off and held out a hand "I'm Zexion, Zexion Necyal, And I love your planet"
"Technology?" He waved a hand up and down "It's cool I guess" He got all happy "But I love music!"
Again, I rolled my eyes, then sighed "So what do you play?"
"'scuse me?"
"What do you play?" I repeated myself, which I didn't like doing. This man was starting to annoy me "As in a instrument? Do you play and instrument?"
"Oh!" he said still smiling, it was annoying, but the most sincere smile I had ever seen or imagined "I play Sitar!"
"Sitar..." I mumbled to myself, trying to remember what the hell that was, then suddenly, I remembered "Sitar, you mean That large long necked lute played with a pick? Sort of resembles a guitar but Sitarists usually get pissed if you call it one?"
He nodded happily "Yep! That's a Sitar!" His smile brightened more(if possible) and grabbed my hand "common I wanna see this place!"
And again I rolled my eyes, yes, this man was annoying, I pulled my hand from him "Please don't touch me"
But, he refused, he again grasped my hand "Oh, Don't be so mean! Show me around your planet!"
"I said Unhand me!" I tore my hand from him "You are very rude, I should report you to the police!" I smirk formed over my face "I wonder how they would deal with a Hershply soldier, hm? What do you think? Surly you would be tortured for answers to what your government is planning. Wouldn't you agree?"
He removed the helmet from his head, revealing a beyond strange hairdo. Sort of a mohawk, sort of a mullet thing. But it was strange. He held out a pinky "As soon as the helmet goes off, I am no longer a soldier, just a simple music loving man who has bin told it is taboo still but loves it anyway. I promise you wont regret showing me around here. Scratch that I swear to the planet of Hershply you wont. We got a deal?"
I couldn't help but do it, He really liked this place. Who was I to say he couldn't look around? I held out my pinky as well and the intertwined tightly together, almost tight enough to hurt "And I swear to the planet of Uykyia that I will not turn you, a man from this planet's enemy, into the government for questioning. I make this swear as a simple man myself who is originally from Xenfokyu, the illusion planet and works in my best friend with crazy pink hair's flower shop" And laughing slightly I said "Yeah, we have deal"
Out fingers released and he looked surprised "It's strange, I am from Xemhyo, Xenfokyu's neighboring planet, the water planet. So I'm thinking, and this is probably true. You must have some illusionary abilities. I bet they're amazing"
I smiled, I wasn't that good, but I had made a name for myself on my very small home planet(It is the about the size of Mexico ,a place again I would later find was on earth, if you put it in orb form) "They're not amazing per say, but they don't call me the Cloaked Schemer for nothing!" Yeah so maybe I had a little something to brag about, but, I'm not one to brag.
He looked intrigued(which I wouldn't be surprised if this man didn't know how to spell. He seemed like all the other idiots on this planet, me not bing one of them) "That's awesome. On my planet they call me the Melodious Nocturne. I have some pretty cool Water skills. Do you know where the nearest lake it? There are no lakes on Hershply, and I only get to go there every other year and water calms be down"
I thought for a second, I knew the there was a lake near by "Oh!" I pointed west "The ocean is about four or five blocks from here, I guess I should take you, right?"
He nodded happily "That would be wonderful! Would you please Zexy?"
The wind blew as if it somehow ironically knew, Zexy. No one except Marluxia called him that. No one was allowed to. He heard his mother's voice play in his head
"Zexy-chan! Common! It's time to come inside! It's getting cold out there!"
He herd his small childhood, girly voiced self "I'm coming mother!"
No. No onecalled him 'zexy' "Shut your mouth you vermin. You haven't the right to call me that" I stopped myself, He looked like a puppy that had bin abused, I felt bad "I'm sorry" I muttered "Let's go okay?" I said laughing, I knew he could hear the falseness in my tone.
"But-"
I smiled, again, falsely "Don't worry, let's go!"
He nodded and grabbed my hand "Okay! You are me tour guide so hurry!"
I walked, him trailing behind be slowly walking to my side "Please don't stand so close to me" He immediately scooted to the right a little "Thank you, I'm claustrophobic"
He looked interested, crap I just started another conversation with him "Soldier tell me, what's Hershply like? I wish to know" Good I had single handedly stopped another stupid pointless conversation with this guy.
He waved in finger in my face, I snatched it then twisted it until he yelped, I'm violent. So? "Ow! Hey Your not very nice kid, Don't make me angry, I might just break that promise"
I rolled my eyes "You don't have the balls, hell, I'd be surprised if you even had a pair"
"Wanna check?" He grabbed hold of his belt buckle and started to undo it, I grabbed his hand.
"GOD NO"
He laughed at my flushed face "I'm just kidding kid I-"
"One more thing, please don't refer to me as 'kid' it is getting quite annoying" I rushed ahead of him, and he caught up, okay, he was starting to anger me. And I mean really angry, I could feel my fists clenching. Yeah, I wanted to beat the shit out of this man...But, he was interesting. He was kind and sweet, feeling mix together oddly I guess...
"Fine" He said sighing "I wont call you 'kid'" He looked over to me casually, hand crossed behind his head, intertwined in his blond locks "How old are you anyway Zex? Fifteen, Sixteen...Four...teen?"
I glared at him, How dare he! Was he making fun of my size?! I punched him in the stomach "I'm twenty-two you ingrate!"
He was wheezing, ops. I must have knocked the wind out of the poor guy... "Demyx! Are you okay?" He was beginning to fall and I grabbed hold of him "I'm sorry! I'm so Sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you that bad!"
He smiled and got up, catching his breath he said laughing slightly "'that' bad? Zex you're mean but..." He looked at me in the eyes, my blue eyes and said joyfully "I'm glad you said my name instead of insulting me"
"Whatever, let's get going. The beach is down that path over there" I pointed to a large dirt trail where the sidewalk ended, he only nodded and we continued to walk, Did he not want to talk anymore?
I suddenly felt bad, was he angry with me? Well, I did knock the wind out of him...Or maybe he just really wanted to get to the beach, his pace was quickening and quickening as we walked more. I, although I was trying to focus on walking fast and not tripping on a rock or dirt clod, looked at him. Demyx. He looked much smarter with his mouth shut. I wondered if he was actually smart. After all he was from Hershply, I wasn't going to ask though. It's rude to question people's smarts. I started to look at him his outrageous hair, his content facial expression. I looked at his eyes, deep sea blue, no cerulean, that was a much lighter blue than his. His eyes matched his hair perfectly. There wasn't one feature of him that was out of place. He was well...Gorgeous. I stopped myself, was I just looking at another man in a sexual way?!
"Woah!" I snapped out of my trance when I herd him yell "Zex! Come check this out! This beach is amazing!" I smiled and walked over to him, he was messing with a fiddler crab.
He turned it over and shoved it in my face "Look It's pregnant!" I backed away quickly and let out a very girly scream "Pft"
He burst out laugh "OHMIGOD! Ha hahaheh! How can you be afraid of a fiddler crab!" he smiled "Your funny Zexion!"
I turned my head, I was blushing vermillion. He was still giggling and he tickled the crab, causing it's legs to squirm "S-Shut up! I don't like things put in my face, You startled me"
He gave me a goofy toothy grin, then tossed the crab into the ocean "Okay Zex, But that doesn't mean you have to scream like a girl!"
"I said SHUT UP!" I screamed at him, he looked sad and he made me feel bad for the third time tonight "Look, I'm sorry...I just...I don't like being teased okay?" He stood up and started walking to the shore line, my eyes roaming over his back side, a nice strait back, thin skinny legs...a ripe, plump sexy ass. 'Fuck!' I thought to myself, I had done it again! What was wrong with me?! Had I switched personalities with Marluxia?! I shook my head, and followed him to the shore.
He stood there, hands behind his back and sighed deeply and dreamily. I looked as well, He had every reason to sigh like that, the view was astonishing. The roaring shore glistening in the blue moon light. Beautiful.
"You know..."he said calmly "Our planets are like one even though they are two"
I looked confused "What do you mean?"
"I mean..."He began to say, he slipped off his shoes and socks and set them down letting his feet touch the water "I mean, they are like one but two because one cannot thrive without the other at night" I looked at him, coping what he had just done and taking a seat on the sand ground "I thought you said you were claustrophobic..." He pointed out, he was right, I was sitting awful close. I scooted away.
Blushing I muttered "I'm sorry"
He smiled "I don't mind, I just didn't want you to have a panic attack when I was trying to be romantic"
My eyes widened and my eyebrows shot up "Are you...hitting...on me?"
He turned his head away fast enough to get whiplash, I couldn't see his face...But I could tell he was blushing "N-No! Heh, What ever gave you that idea! Your silly Zex!" He turned to me his face lightly scattered with blush, He smiled like a pathetic romantic does after he lies and is about to tell the truth "...Yes"
I scooted closer to him again, this guy was annoying, but in one night...He had completely grown on me "Well whatever technique you use..." I kissed him lightly "It's working you goof"
There was a awkward silence and I blushed in realization at what I had just done and he was blushing because I kissed him, me a complete stranger to him, he...a complete stranger to me. We knew a few things about each other, true. But I had just met this guy about four hours ago and...and I kissed him!
He smiled "I knew you weren't such a bad guy" He got up and put on his shoes "Common, the tides coming in" I put on mine and he helped me up, we walked to a tree at the beginning of the beach and sat back down. We were sitting side by side, my head resting on his shoulder. I was tired, It had to be around three in the morning. He smiled "Zex?" I looked at him "When you wake up...I wont be here"
"Why?"
He smiled sadly "I have to go home, but a promise I'll be back. I don't know when, but I'll be back, and I'll take you to Hershply okay?" I nodded, he tilted his head on mine "I'll sing you a song to remember me by okay?" I nodded slowly, not noticing the tears forming in the corners of my eyes, he hugged me "Don't cry, I'll be back"
Then...he started to sing, sing in the most angelic voice I had ever heard
"If I had my own world
I'd fill it with wealth and desire
A glorious past to admire
And voices of kids out walking,
Dogs, birds, planes, cleanest cars
If I had my own world
I'd love it for all that's inside it
There'd be no more wars, death or riots
There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots,
Guns, bombs sounding off,
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
If I had my own world
I'd show you the life that's inside it
The way that it glows when you find it
The way it survives with it's families,
Friends or it's enemies
Let's make this a new world
I swear you can go if you want to
I know that you have that within you
Inventing the first clean and usable,
God's greatest miracle
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
If I had my own world
I'd build you an empire
From here to the far lands
To spread love like violence
Let me feel you, carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder
Let me feel you carry you higher
Watch your words spread hope like fire
Secret crowds rise up and gather
Hear your voices sing back louder"
I Fell asleep to his voice, singing, pure beauty.
...
The next morning, I woke up under that tree...He hadn't lied to me...For Demyx...was nowhere to be found...
--
Hmm, Demy you bad boy. Leaving Zexy like that. I have a neat idea for next chapter(And the drama begins!) By the by the song he sang is called Secret Crowds by Angels and Airwaves, yes, a cute song indeed. I don't have much to say right now... Which is strange because usually I don't know when to shut up.
As always please comment and critique, I really don't mind as long as you don't try and start a fight with me...because I'll win :P
