This is a shounen-ai fanfic.No likey,No readey,kay? Tis all I ask.
Demyx wandered through the stark, white and empty halls blindly. At first he was on a straight trip to the kitchen for the wonderful and delectable substance of pleasure he called food, but as he turned the corner something caught his attention. A melody, very soft and gentle, seemed to be coming from one of the rooms.
"Who would be listening to music? Everyone's away on a mission…"
He turned his head around both left and right quickly searching for anyone wandering the halls.
No one was there.
Wait..why did he even look around? The music was coming from a room,not the hallway.
"Duh Demyx…" he thought to himself.
So, Demyx took a few steps closer to the wall, ears perked for listening, and slowly walked from door to door.
"Nope..."
"Nuh-uh…"
"Not that one…"
"N-..Wah!It's this one!!The music is coming from here!" he thought excitedly jumping away from the door in sudden joy. Then it hit him.
"Wait…who's room is this?" His joy ceased momentarily as he deeply pondered this. Then it switched and took a U-turn back to the music. He leaned his head softly against the door trying to listen for a voice, maybe he would be able to tell…
It's always times like these
When I think of you
And I wonder
If you ever
Think of me …
Demyx paused. Listening more intently to the voice singing against the piano.
'Cause everything's so wrong
And I don't belong
Living in your
Precious memories
Who was that? He couldn't place the voice to anyone he'd heard in the castle. At first he assumed it was a CD or something, but he was Demyx. If his obsession with music proved anything, it was that he could tell the difference between lip synching and actually singing live. Someone was definitely singing. Only questioned remained was who.
'Cause I need you
And I miss you
And now I wonder...
He placed his head closer, sensing the chorus coming.
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass me by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you
Tonight
The person had managed to hit every note perfectly,not skipping a beat and not a bump in their voice even on the higher notes.
And I, I
Don't want to let you know
I, I
Drown in your memory
I, I
Don't want to let this go
I, I
Don't...
Demyx continued listening, now more intrigued by the song as well as the person.
Making my way downtown
Walking fast
Faces passed
And I'm home bound
Staring blankly ahead
Just making my way
Making my way
Through the crowd
And I still need you
And I still miss you
And now I wonder...
If I could fall
Into the sky
Do you think time
Would pass us by
'Cause you know I'd walk
A thousand miles
If I could
Just see you...
His mouth opened wide. No way…someone from the organization was actually singing such a .a…girly song?! But…the voice was really pretty…
"Okay…dude! Who are you?!!" Demyx shouted quite loudly against the door.
"…oops…" The music stopped suddenly and before he could even realize it the door he was bracing himself on was opened. He stumbled forward bumping into the person.
"…what do you think you're doing?" They asked in a quite monotone voice. It sounded nothing like the person who was singing previously.
Demyx was silent as he gaped at who stood before him.No. Friggin. Way.
"Z-Zexion! I-I uh..I mean..I.." He was stunned. Had his musical ears deceived him? Was Zexion just listening to a CD? No…he didn't think so…It definitely sounded real. Demyx had failed to realize his lack of focus on his surroundings, otherwise meaning, he had begun staring off into space like an idiot.
Zexion raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms, leaning against the doorway.
"Well?"
Demyx snapped out of it. He crossed his arms like a little kid trying to be serious and shook his finger in Zexion's face.
"Now I want the truth Mister! Was that you singing?!" He leaned right into the other's face,staring at him intently. He just had to know!
Zexion's only visible eye widened a bit as a small blush crept its way across his cheek. He started opening his mouth to speak but was interrupted.
"-because it was totally amazing!! I had no clue you sing like that! You're usually so boooring and sullen and totally depressing and I honestly thought either you had no taste in music or only listening to all those Emo Indie bands and stuff! But you can only imagine my surprise when I was searching for food and heard the music and got distracted by it! Actually I'm still hungry, but Oh! Right! I heard you singing and had to find out who it was! Of course then I didn't know it was you! Duh! But still Oh my Gosh!!" he paused to take a breath, hey, he had to eventually. "…I mean…you have a really pretty voice Zexy." The last few words had come out much quieter and slightly more bashful, a pink tinge coming onto Demyx's cheeks.
Zexion was silent. Nothing all that unusual except for the fact his eye was wide. First of all, how in their non-existent lives was it possible for someone to say all that only taking a breath once? Secondly, had Demyx just claimed his voice was pretty? While blushing? No, he must have seen wrong. Maybe if he looked again he would see it was nothing but a lapse of eyesight. Or mind playing tricks on him. Wait, why would his mind make him think Demyx was blushing? Did he want Demyx to blush? …No.No.No.No.No. Definitely No….right? Right. No way. Okay,so maybe he should just look again.
Zexion lifted his head for another look, realizing he had been staring at an interesting piece of…something…in the hallway past Demyx's feet. When he lifted his head his eyes unexpectedly met with those of a concerned Demyx.
"Uh…Zexy?Dude..you really need to stop thinking so much. It makes you seems a little weird." He said in a quiet honest and serious tone.
Zexion blinked. Okay then….Suddenly the something on the floor peaked his interest again.
"Yohoo Zexy!…ZEXY!!" Demyx screamed in the Cloaked Schemer's ear.
He grunted a bit, now wondering how he even got in this predicament.
"What,Demyx?" he asked carelessly back to his usual annoyed by the world monotone voice.
"I..uh…" In truth,Demyx himself had forgotten what the point in him still being there was. Oh! Right. Zexy had a pretty voice.
"You um…you should sing more Zexy…I mean…everyone thinks you're an uncaring quiet emo person,but…."
Demyx had managed to get his attention for the second time in one day. He hadn't realized it but responded to the blonde. "but what?"
"but…when you were singing it didn't seem that way…I guess…is all I'm saying…" The Melodious Nocturne could feel his cheeks growing warm again. He turned his head towards the ground shyly.
"..why?"
Demyx's head popped up. "Huh?"
"why do you think that?"
"I..I dunno…I play my sitar all the time, and I'm hyper, and idiotic, and not good at fighting at all, and honestly I don't even know why I'm in the Organization, and that's all everyone sees me as. Hyper and Idiotic. But,I know there's more to me than that, but no one pays attention. And when I heard you singing, I found out something about you other than what I knew before. Something besides you being cold, silent, and mysterious." He paused trying to regain his train of thought. "and…well..I know what it's like trying to get other's to see you as something more…so…I guess…I don't know…I appreciate it a lot finding out something about you I didn't know before. You seemed to really like singing, and it was a really pretty song…something unexpected." He gave a small chuckle, the heat in his cheeks now turning them red. "That's all…"
Zexion was silent for quite a while. Did it really mean that much to Demyx hearing him sing? Sure he never ever intended for anyone to ever hear him sing, but it seemed to mean a lot to the blonde. Not to mention, he didn't know Demyx cared so much what people thought. He now felt a little guilty about treating him so poorly these past few months. Did he really care as much as he seemed to? Or was it a ploy to get out of talking, to get away safely in order to use it as blackmail against him later? Zexion glanced up and unexpectedly confirmed his previous questionable thoughts about the blushing. He definitely was.
"Demyx?"
His head popped up excitedly, still red, but apparently he had forgotten about his own blush. "Hm?!"
"Did you…did you really like my singing as much as you previously said?" Okay, why was his own face suddenly feeling so warm? He couldn't be blushing. That wasn't possible.
Demyx paused in his own happiness before nodding quickly. "Yeah Zexy! It was really good! And…" he calmed down a bit. "well, really pretty…" he gave chuckle as his face seemed to grow a more distinguishable red. "..really really pretty…"
That was all it took for Zexion to lose control of his calm cool face and for it to grow as red as Demyx's. "t-thanks…"
The blonde's head looked up,Zexion never studdered…why was he-Oh..
"Zexy?…Oh my gosh Zexy your blushing!!!" He face grew into a shocked but joyful expression.
"N-no Im not!!"
"Yes you are!! Zexy your blushing!You never blush! Why are you blushing?!"
"I'm not blushing Demyx!! Your idiotic eyes must be faulty." Oh what in the world's had he gotten himself into. Why wouldn't this blush go away?!
"No! No they aren't!! You're blushing Zexy!! I know because I was blushing and then you started blushing which usually means-Oh….Ooooh" For once something clicked in Demyx's mind. Along with that click, his face grew another shade darker and his enthusiasm faded slowly now presenting an akward feeling.
Zexion was silent. He couldn't retort. He wished he could. Just couldn't.
So a slowly increasingly akward silence befell the two. That is, until one was dumb enough to speak.
"You know…you don't have to be ashamed of it Zexy…I mean.." Demyx gave another chuckle. "Look at me…I cant say anything right…I probably got it all wrong as usual…I guess...I should just be going now! I mean, I was heading to get food and totally forgot, there's probably some sandwich anxiously waiting for me in the kitchen and well, I wouldn't want to disappoint it, now would I?" His face was loosing its brightened color as he gave a smile.
"N-no…you wouldn't…want to do that…" Zexion was quiet and looked down at the something on the floor once more.
"Well…I guess...I'll see ya around Zexy!..bye" Demyx started to turn around when something warm and quite honestly, slightly sweaty, grabbed onto his wrist. He turned around to see a once again bright red faced Zexion.
"Wait Demyx,I…" Why had he done that? Zexion didn't even know, for some reason he didn't want to hyper blonde to leave.
"What is it Zex-Mmph!" Demyx's eyes popped open in shock as he felt the lilac haired male's lips befall his own. It was hurried and not all that soft, but still…Zexion was kissing him! A wave of pleasure shot through his body as he felt Zexions arm's wrap around his small waist. Almost instinctly Demyx put his own arms around the other and started kissing him back. Before they knew it the kiss was over. Silence came upon them again, but this time they were staring at each other, instead of the floor. Storm colored orbs gazed into Seagreen. The silence continued for a few moments longer before Zexion started to speak.
"D-Demyx I-" He was cut short by his lips being occupied. Demyx had leaned forward and captured the other in another kiss. It lasted much shorter than the other, but that was just fine.
Demyx broke free and shook his head. "don't be sorry Zexy" his calm expression suddenly grew into a large grin. "You're a really good kisser!"
With that Zexion's blush faded and he gave a sigh. Only, shocking to himself, he couldn't hold back the chuckle. " as are you at killing a moment."
Demyx's face fell as he gave a childish pout. "Aww… Zexy!"
"You were hungry, right Demyx?" The blonde gave a nod. "Why don't you go get something to eat and come back? If you really want to…I guess I wouldn't mind singing for you, just no one else okay?"
His smile returned larger and brighter than ever. "Oh Zexy!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!" he lunged forward and gave Zexion a quick hug before rushing back down the hall. "I'll be back soon!!!! Really soon!! Oh wow thank you Zexy!! I love you!!!" his shouts grew quieter as he traveled on down the hall, but the last part was all that really mattered.
"Love?…" Zexion gave another chuckle. "I guess so…" With that he stepped back into his room and shut the door, awaiting the other's return.

A week had passed since that day. The other Organization member's had returned a few hours after the events that happened. They found a hyper Demyx, and a silent Zexion. Nothing out of the ordinary, the music was a secret between the two and that's how it would stay. Not to mention if someone such as Axel found out Zexion had quite the girly singing voice Demyx would be in a lot of trouble, and no one wanted that.
The pair had met up a few more times and now it was a nightly routine. Demyx would bring his sitar and Zexion would sing. On occasion Demyx would join in, but he was more than okay with just hearing Zexion's voice. It still surprised him the Cloaked Schemer had such a voice.
Demyx had been writing a song, and tonight he planned on presenting it to Zexion in hopes he would agree to sing it. He had started it after the first night, when everyone wasn't away on missions he usually just spent his time in his room. Sure, sometimes him and Axel would play pranks,but lately Axel hadn't been in a prankish mood. Demyx shrugged it off, figuring he was probably just having issues with Roxas. So whenver he had the time he would fiddle with the strings and write down a few notes here and there, only recently he had gotten ideas for lyrics.
Demyx took a breath as he rounded the corner of the white hallway and knocked on the lilac haired male's door.
No one answered. So he knocked again.
Still nothing.
"Zexy?…psst! Zexy, you there?" That was weird…he wasn't sent off on missions very often, besides, he had just seen him last night. Surely he would have mentioned something.
"Hm..maybe he's getting tea or something…I guess it wouldn't hurt to check." With that Demyx turned around and headed for the kitchen.
"He's not here either…maybe the library?" It took him a while, but eventually he found it.
"He's not even here…well that's just plain rude! Where did he go?!" Demyx annoyed at the moment put his hands on his hips and turned on his heel, heading back to Zexion's room.
"Maybe he came back while I was gone…." So he knocked once more. Silence.
Demyx let out a disappointed sigh. "Well…I guess I'll just slip it under the door then...it's getting late anyways, he should be back soon." He crouched down and slipped the folded piece of paper under the door, hoping Zexy would find it.
69696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969696969699696969
Zexion had been there the whole time, but was deep in thought. How could The Superior ask him this so suddenly? Well, that didn't matter, Xemnas had put his faith in him, it was his duty not to let him down. But still…why was he having second thoughts about a mission? He never had before.
After the knocking ceased Zexion glanced over to the door only to see a small folded paper. He got up from his desk and knelt over to pick it up, glancing over it.
Dear Zexy,
Since you weren't answering,I guess you can read this once you get back. I sorta wrote a song! I was wondering if maybe you might want to sing it? I guess just glance over the lyrics and get back to me next time I see you, Kay?
Demyx
"He wrote a song?" Zexion said reading over the note once more before flipping it over. Sure enough there were lyrics there.
Sunny tendrils of light seep through
Shining upon the colored glass
Wings of freedom open up
Gazing down into the
Shadows of a once forgotten heart
Is this what love is? Hope is?
To be lost and forgotten
Nothing to think about
Except the memories
That shattered me
I want nothing more
Than to see the image
I'm meant to see
But I am blinded by the darkness
The broken window
Forgotten all these years
Left to fade away
Into the ever coming eternity
I want to be found, to be loved
But Ive forgotten what that meant
Forgotten in the darkness
I still remember when
The colors shown so bright
Basking anyone around
But No
Ive forgotten what that's like
Lost forever in
The darkness of the heart
I feared for looking up
The source of the one who guided me
Away from the darkness found only in time
You looked down at me
Wings unstained,
unaffected by
The pains and sorrows of
an ordinary life
You reached out a hand
And for the first in a thousand years
I saw what could be
And what it felt like
Seeing myself free
I looked up to see
Colors fill the room
An aura of times'
Trivial emotions and memories
Creating an image
You smiled
Seeing the violet heart
Bursting free from chains
Spreading wings
You smiled at me

Three days later Zexion never returned. Before that Demyx had been taken away to train, so they were never able to meet up again. Demyx refused to come out of his room until things got bad, and Xemnas had to ask him to fight. He knew he couldn't, if Zexion couldn't, there was no way he could. Besides, maybe if he lost, and went wherever Zexion did, they could meet up once more. It was better than being alone again…
Demyx lost in the weeks to come. With him he carried the song, and the hopes Zexion got to read it, maybe he even tried singing it. Maybe he'll find out, yeah…maybe he'll see him again…
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Wow…I really didn't expect for it to be that long!! But I had the idea for a while,and really wanted to write it out. It's my first Zemyx but I luffle this pairing to death!!! –huggles Zexy and Dem plushies-
Oh and the song is A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carleton, ya know the Zales commercials right? they got to me...
Please Please Please Please Review!!!!
I'm thinking about continuing this, It would be AU,but I didn't want to do an AU without an Organization related background story. Ive already planned out a few more chapters, but I don't know if it would be better as a one shot or not…
Anyways!! Please review!! Blackmail photos of Zexion singing for all reviewers!!! And don't forget to tell me if I should continue or not!!!Okay?!! Thank you!!
