And now for a little interruption from the author: Hiya. I'm KISAFREEDOMNESS' friend, Kyon. I'm the one she wrote the Namiku story for I hope you enjoy this. This is… what, my third fanfiction? So don't hesitate to criticize me… haha. I appreciate it for reading this! Thank you very much!

Disclaimer: I do not own the characters or the game. I DO own several figurines, copies of the games, and copies of the manga…

Warnings: Shounen-ai. Nothing bad. Absolute fluff.

"Hey! Zex!"

I swiveled around quickly at the nickname. It had surprised me to hear someone yelling my nickname because most people usually avoided calling me for anything except schoolwork. I guess you could've called me a nerd or something to that effect. But that's beside the fact of the matter. Anyhow, by the time I had turned around, Demyx was running towards me. I barely had any time to even wonder about what he wanted to talk about because he had already started to speak…

"Well, hi! I was kind of wondering if…." Demyx paused for breath.

"Don't be so familiar," I muttered. "I hardly even know you. I don't even know your name." Well, THAT was a lie if there ever was one. EVERYONE knew Demyx. He was the bubbly kid that everyone liked. He smiled at everyone, whether he knew you or not. The others might have even called him 'dorky' if he wasn't so popular. He was in band, he was a great artist, and on the swim team. He was great in every way. Demyx was just THAT kind of guy.

It actually took me quite some time to realize that he was speaking while I was daydreaming away.

"Oh! Sorry! Haha… I'm Demyx!" He grinned. "I kinda… I just figured that since people call you that sometimes that it was okay. Or something like that, heh!" I just rolled my eyes.

"Do you even know who I am?" Demyx's answer surprised me.

"Yeah, yeah, I do! You're Zexion, the quiet, smart kid!" Oh, great. Now I'm the quiet, smart kid that sits in the back of the class raising his hand all the time.Of all the things to be known as… I would much rather be known as-

"So like I was saying… I was wondering if you'd like to go somewhere with me… 'cause there's this place that I came across the other day and it… it reminded me of… of you… n-not that I mean anything weird or something but it just was one of those places where you say, 'I think so-and-so would come here,' you know? And-"

"Yes."

"What?" Demyx stared confusedly. Did he even realize that he had been rambling?

"I said YES. I'm GOING with YOU." God, the kid was thick.

"Oh… oh! Ohhhh!" He made several more noises of comprehension, but I really don't believe it is necessary to include them here because he spent the next few minutes filling the silence with 'oh's. I eventually decided to interrupt him because God knows when he would've stopped making 'oh's…

"So… you still haven't told me when or wh-" I soon realized that Demyx was laughing. LAUGHING. At ME. "What's so funny?"

"Haha… you just don't get it, huh? Haha! I meant that we were going right NOW to the place!"

"What?! But- but I have homework and other…" I realized I was just making excuses now. I really DIDN'T have any homework, considering I had done it all in class, and I didn't have anywhere else to go. I really didn't have many friends, if any at all.

"Geez, Zex! Can't you EVER think of ANYTHING besides school? We're going NOW!" I was surprised at the ferocity in his voice. Demyx was a relatively calm person, so it wasn't very often that you heard him yelling. Actually, it surprised me so much to hear him speak this way that I forgot to reprimand him for using my nickname.

While I was thinking about all this, Demyx dragged me out the school front door without even waiting for my response. Not that I really cared, anyways. The only response I most likely could have come up with was a squeaky noise and I really didn't make any struggle to get away, anyhow…
