Disclaimer: I own nothing! Not the song, not the characters, or the quote that Zexion is reading right at the beginning. The song belongs to the amazing Adam Lambert. The characters (and world) to square enix, and the quote belongs to Charles Dickens. The only thing that is mine is the wonderful little plot bunny that this song gave me. So without farther ado i give you my story.
Zexion closed the giant tome he was reading with a snap, he couldn't get that kiss out of his mind. He just kept replaying the feel of Demyx's soft lips against his. Zexion laid his head back on the plush coach of the library and stared at the ceiling, attempting to fathom what had possessed number IX to kiss him so suddenly. Zexion pressed a hand to his lips; they were still tingling, even though it'd been over a day since the kiss. Why could Demyx create such feelings in him, why did his heart flutter (which he hadn't thought he'd possessed), his lips tingle, and his stomach flip-flop? They were Nobodies… they weren't suppose to have hearts, weren't supposed to feel, but Zexion must admit after that kiss… well he was beginning to doubt everything he'd ever believed about Nobodies.
Flashback
"Sadly, sadly, the sun rose; it rose upon no sadder sight than the man of good abilities," Zexion mumbled, reading out loud from the book in his lap "and good emotions, incapable of their directed exercise, incapable of his own help and his own happiness, sensible of the blight on him, and resigning himself to l—"Zexion's reading was suddenly interrupted by a feeling of warmth against his lips. Zexion's violet eyes widened and he looked up to see Demyx's face close to his, close enough that their lips were touching, he gasped in surprise and pulled back.
"D-d-Demyx," he stuttered, "W-what are you doing?"
The Melodious Nocturne opened his crystal eyes and looked at the Schemer, "Kissing you, silly."
"Why?"
"Because" Demyx said before turning to walk away, humming a tune, leaving behind a very, very shocked blunette. Zexion placed a hand to his lips, they felt numb, yet alive at the same time. A shiver passed through his body and he looked thoughtfully after the blonde, what were these…feelings that the kiss seemed to have awakened?
End flashback
Zexion sighed and whispered softly, "Hey slow it down whataya want from me, whataya want from me? Yeah I'm afraid whataya want from me, whataya want from me?" Shaking his head Zexion stood, he'd just have to go find number IX and question him. The Schemer just could not understand what these feelings were, and that scared him. He was used to be cold, unfeeling, heartless but Demyx's lips had opened a door and now Zexion didn't know… and not knowing terrified him more than anything.
A soft strain of music exited the door of Number IX's room accompanied by a beautiful tenor voice. In the room, Demyx was crouched over his sitar completely lost in the beauty he was creating. In the room, his teal eyes were closed and a look of complete happiness on his face, this was where he belonged this was his zone. Yet even with the beauty of his music Demyx missed a note, one single note, but it was enough to make the Nocturne pause and frown. He never missed notes, not on his sitar, the sitar was his instrument and he was perfect on it. Demyx may not be the strongest of fighters or the most competent person, but when it came to music not a Nobody in The Castle That Never Was could surpass him. So why was the Melodious Nocturne missing a note? Simple, the Cloaked Schemer. Demyx could not forget his bold actions two days before; he couldn't determine what had possessed him to kiss Zexion, his superior, but he did. It had been a split second decision and Demyx couldn't bring himself to regret it, but fear was beginning to cloud his heart (he knew he had one). He'd been hurt before and Zexion was one of the most heartless in the organization, what had possessed him to be so bold?
Demyx leaned his head against the neck of his Sitar, what if Zexion was no better than Marluxia? What if he had his heart played with again, he didn't think he could take it once more. Demyx shook his head, these thoughts weren't helping him… he'd just have to wait and see what happened. Sighing, he placed his hands back on his sitar and began the beautiful tune again and few seconds past and he slipped back into the words, his tenor voice softly singing, "There might have been a time, /when I would give myself away / oooh once upon a time I didn't give a damn."
Unbeknownst to Demyx, Zexion was standing outside his door and gasped, surprised at the beauty and tone of Demyx's voice, it was like an angel singing. Zexion rapped lightly on the door, the playing from inside stopped and Demyx looked at the door startled before standing to open the door, upon seeing Zexion he jumped and stuttered, "Z-Zexy, what are you doing here?"
Zexion raised an eyebrow at his new nickname but said nothing about it instead saying, "I want to talk to you Demyx. May I come in?"
"O-of course," Demyx stuttered stepping aside, he had a pretty good idea what the Schemer had to say and he had an idea what Zexion wanted.
Zexion walked into the room and looked around, amazed to find that it was actually neat, he expected Demyx to be somewhat of a slob. Zexion was surprised, and glad, to be proved wrong. He looked over at Demyx, who was obviously nervous, and said, "I wish to discuss the, um, kiss we shared the other day. What possessed you to kiss me?"
Demyx ran a hand through his hair, "To be honest? I don't know… I mean I've liked you for some time, Zexion, but I never intended to act on it, but the other day I really couldn't resist. I just had to kiss you and I know you probably don't care, you probably don't even feel like a proper Nobody should, but I had to kiss you Zexy!" Demyx said rambling, "I'm sorry if I offended you, just forget it. I- I-I" he stuttered before stopping and looking at Zexion, who had just set there watching him violet eyes wide.
Zexion looked at Demyx for a few seconds just blinking before some impulse filled him and he walked straight over to Demyx and did something entirely out of character. He leaned up and kissed Demyx's lips softly. "I didn't mind" Zexion whispered softly, "But I must admit…. You awoke something in me Demyx, some feeling and my heart has been cold, or nonexistant, for so long, that I don't know how this will go but… I think I'm willing to try. I want to learn how, how to be human again, and I think you could teach me Demyx. You are the most human of us all, you feel the most. So teach me," he finished and looked up at the taller man, fear in his eyes, but also resolve… they need this, both of them, and something in Zexion's newly beating heart knew that and was determined that these two Nobodies would get their happy ending.
Demyx smiled softly at Zexion and rested his forehead against the much shorter man's head, singing softly to his new found love, "So now, here we are so whataya want from me / whataya want from me?"
"Just teach me, Demyx. Teach me to love."
