I do not own Kingdom Hearts... Or the Twelve Days of Christmas.
Xemnas woke up late. He looked out his window. It had started snowing. Then he finally made his way down to the dinning room and sat in his usual chair. Slowly the rest of the Organization made their way down. Zexion and Xaldin came out with breakfast. Then he was reminded of what day it was.
"Good morning everyone!" yelled Demyx as he made his way into the dinning room.
"Demyx, shut up!" Axel shouted back. He was looking very tired this morning.
"But… but Axel… It starts today…" Demyx whimpered.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"The Thirteen Days of Christmas!"
"Demyx, we told you last year… and the year before… and the year before that…" Marluxia trailed off.
Larxene sighed. "It's the Twelve Days of Christmas."
"I… I know b-but there's th-thirteen of us…."
Xemnas had to stop them before he started crying. Demyx did the same thing every year since he joined the Organization.
"How many times do we have to tell you? Santa isn't real!" Axel was losing his temper faster today because of the snow.
Xemnas cleared his throat. "Axel, we told you last year. Santa is real."
"Y-yeah! Superior says Santa Claus is real! You now what that means. You won't get anything for Christmas from Santa if you keep saying that!"
"Like I care," said Axel as he stormed out of the dinning room. Roxas followed him trying to calm him down.
Xemnas, sensing it was now safe to leave, got up from the table and started heading back to his room. Zexion stopped him.
"Superior, do you really think this okay? He should be told the truth, don't you think?"
"Zexion, when you are ready to tell Demyx the truth and are prepared to deal with his crying for a week you can tell him. Remember what happened when we finally told him the Tooth Fairy didn't exist."
"Oh yeah… He wouldn't come out of his room for a month and played Emo songs on his sitar… But that was because Axel said it rather bluntly. Maybe someone could explain it to him this time?"
"Or we can just humor him like we do every year. Just help out when he asks you to."
"And how do you help? You never do anything."
"I make sure idiots like Axel don't ruin it for him."
"… Good point."
Xemnas continued to his room. He closed his door and prepared for a long thirteen days. He went to his bedside table. In it he found his painkillers that he was going to need for the headaches he was bound to get. His left eye was already twitching. A wonderful start.
On the first day of X-Mas my true love gave to me:
A Superior with a major headache
