When The Moon Fell In Love With The Sun
All was golden in the sky
All was golden when the day met the night
This is my first fanfic, and I will (most likely) need a lot of help with this. So, any constructive criticism any of you have is greatly appreciated. So, this story actually came from me going home in the car listening to Panic! At the Disco's new album, Pretty. Odd. I got to When the Day Met the Night and thought it would be a good Zemyx (Zexion/Demyx) story. So, if you're not familiar with the song or need to listen to something, listen to this because it was the inspiration for this whole thing.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything; Kingdom Hearts, Panic! At the Disco, the Greek and Roman Gods, or anything else I might use later on.
When the sun found the moon
She was drinking tea in a garden
Under the green umbrella trees
In the middle of summer
Apollo stumbled down from the sky. He gently landed on his feet in the middle of the Garden of the Gods (1). The place seemed to immediately brighten with his presence. The god of the Sun (music, truth, and healing also) seemed to do that wherever he went. The light he charioted seemed to be with him always; his golden hair shone brightly, his smile gleamed, and even his skin seemed to radiate light. As he stepped through the various trees and bushes, (headed to his favorite spot in the very middle of the vast garden) he heard something quite unlike the normal forest sounds. He followed the sounds straight to his favorite place, under a massive willow tree. But, what he saw startled him. He didn't think of seeing another being there.
What he saw was another god, though he knew of no one but Demeter who normally ventured this far. I haven't ever met him. Wonder why; I know everyone else, Apollo thought. He saw it curious that (him being practically immortal and alive for quite awhile already) he didn't know one of the others. He was also positive he would've remembered- the deity had a… unique combination of blue, purple, and silver hair, cerulean colored eyes, and a rather slim figure from what he could see. All of these features were striking. Apparently so mesmerizing that Apollo didn't notice his continued inching forward, closer to him. Until…
Crack!
Apollo looked down to see he had just crushed a small branch in half. Extremely loud, for that matter. Loud enough for the new, (at least to him) peculiar god across the small clearing to hear apparently.
"Who's there?" his head snapped up as he called out.
"Um, hello?" The statement had come out like a question more than Apollo would've liked. "I'm Apollo Demyx (2). Nice to meet you…?"
"Luna (3) Zexion. Nice to meet you as well, Apollo," he replied, sounding wary.
Apollo fidgeted. He didn't know why, but he was really nervous. There was something really unnerving about those eyes, at least to him. They seemed to know him better than himself, but also seemed to carry knowledge of all the worlds in them as well.
"Would you like to sit down, Apollo?"
"Huh? Oh, sure. O-of course." Demyx couldn't believe how clumsy he was being. He could barely get a sentence out of himself without sounding incoherent or like a star-struck school-girl. He sat down a couple feet away anyway, making sure not to disrupt the glass of tea between them (3).
"What are you doing way out here, if I may ask?" Apollo wasn't sure if his tone was accusatory or just plain curious.
"I-I w-was going t- to practice my music for a while. Yo-you can call me Demyx, if you want." Did I just stutter more?
"Ah, I see; then please refer to me as Zexion. What do you play, if I may inquire?"
"Sitar is my favorite, but I can play a little of everything. Do you play anything?"
"No. I prefer to read in any spare time I have."
"What do you like to read?"
"Ah, mostly psychology and some others from time to time."
"I don't read that much, really." Demyx laughed nervously. The only time he read was when he had to, and he didn't have to normally.
Zexion himself was in a state similar to Demyx's, but was much better at hiding it. He conversed with few, but found Demyx worth his time, unlike many others. He began to say something when Demyx shouted his farewell, having gotten up much earlier without notice.
"I need to go!" Demyx exclaimed. "I only have ten minutes before sundown!"
"That means only fifteen until the moon should rise. I should go to," was the mumbled response.
"See you later, Zexion!" yelling over his shoulder, Demyx continued to run for the gate out of the garden.
"Goodbye, Demyx," was the unheard response as Zexion packed up books and headed in the same direction.
A/N: Please tell me what you think of it. Any constructive critisim is wanted and if I made any mistakes please don't hesitate to tell me. I will take this down if no one likes it/ reviews.
1- I totally made that up. If its real in mythology and has a name that you know of could you tell me?
2- Their names are said like they are in Japan- surename first, first name second. They are also more commonly reffered to their god names, but I'll try to make them as clear as possibe.
3- Also Luna is the moon goddess if anyone didn't know. And there wasn't any type of moon god so I'm using Luna.
