How to Break a Heart

The Castle That Never Was was quiet. Too quiet. At least, that's what Zexion thought as he sat reading in the oversized living room.
A few of the regular scents were in the distance. A few of the scents flew around, sometimes approaching, sometimes floating away. What Zexion knew was that the scents of Xigbar, Axel and Larxene were very active. He guessed Axel had smashed Xigbar's rum again whilst the man was holding it and Larxene was helping Number II get revenge.
Zexion grew tired of his book. He threw it to the coffee table and stared up at the ceiling.
"Hi Zexion."
The silvery-blue haired boy fell off the couch. He hadn't smelt or sensed Demyx coming. Stupid corridors to darkness...
"What do you want IX?"
"Well... I..." Demyx paused and blushed crimson. Zexion tilted his head to one side, confused.
"Go on."
"I love you, Zexy!" Demyx cried out suddenly. Zexion looked at the younger being blankly.
"IX, we are nobodies. We cannot feel."
"But-"
"End of discussion."
Zexion picked up his book again and started to read.
But he found himself peering over his book to see the blonde in front of him.
Demyx looked at Zexion, clearly upset. Tears welled in his eyes.
"Fine...I see how it is..." he said. With that he dashed out the room.
Five minutes passed and Zexion still peered over the cover of his book.
"Why...did I say that?"He found himself asking. Though no one was there to answer.
In truth, Zexion did like Demyx. A friend? Yes. More? Maybe.
He put his book down and stood up.
He needed to find Demyx, before the boy did something drastic. He darted into the corridor and dashed in the direction of Demyx' room. At the crossways, he found himself stop. Xigbar, Larxene and Axel darted past. Axel clutched a camera in his hand, and Xigbar and Larxene looked incredibly angry. So angry, they'd be able to kill an elephant just by poking it. After the chaos had passed, Zexion set off sprinting towards the Melodious Nocturne's room once more.
10 minutes later, Zexion stood outside Demyx' room. He reached for the doorknob but...
The scent of soap and strawberries...Demyx' scent...was...
Gone.
Faded.
Zexion turned the doorknob and sure enough, the window was...wide open. He went over and looked out it to the ground, dreading the sight.
Demyx. Lying in a pool of blood. Limbs bent the wrong way. Bones sticking out of his skin.
Dead.
The only word for it.
Something dawned on Zexion.
Something inside him...shattered?
But...he didn't have a heart...did he?
Maybe...just maybe...Demyx had been...his heart.
So... love it? Hate it? I'd love to know what you think. Also, was dead Demyx realistic enough?
