True Home
Chapter 1: Water spirit's release
Demyx's POV
IX… That's the number now branded on my shoulder… No it's not a number; it's my name and being now… Roxas' says XIII, and Namine has none because she's seen only as a pet. It… It disgusts me! But… What other choice did we have?!
Sigh. But… Most of the people here are nice! Zexion, Axel, Roxas, and Namine are no-brainers, but I did meet others! Saix-puppy, Xigbar, Luxord, and Marluxia! Then there's Larxene…
My own step-sister. I always knew she was up to no good… But Zexy's here… Why though…?
Speaking of Zexion… He's been avoiding me… Which really sucks… I don't think I've ever been this depressed. More so, Xemnas has been pushing Roxas, Namine, and I into learning our 'powers'. Do we even have 'powers'?
So basically from what I picked up I'm suppose to have the ability to control water. So every night I've been sitting here by the mini-lake… By myself…
"Well, well, well. Look what the cat drug in!" I turned to see my step-sister, Larxene herself smirking at me. "And where's your lover boy? Oh! That's right! He can't even stand to look at you anymore." She let out a cruel laugh as I winced at her words. "You are so pathetic! You're not even aloud to leave the Mansion. Mom and Dad think you and Namine ran away. They're always crying… Over you and Namine…" Why'd she pause? "Heh, you should see them… Even more pathetic then you!"
An unknown anger roared inside of me. "Shut up!"
Larxene put her hands on her hips. "Oh~ Struck a nerve~ Tell me though Dem-Dem… How's it feel? Knowing the one you loved with your whole being, doesn't care anymore, and just left you?" She spat at my feet. "You're such a lost cause, that no one cares about!"
Tears ran down my face, and more anger boiled. "Shut up!" As I screamed water shot out at her, forming a giant water-filled bubble around her, drowning her… Drowning… Killing… But I'm not a murderer, I'm not even a fighter… I clenched my fist as my anger drained down. The bubble disappeared, and Larxene fell to the ground gasping.
I quickly closed my eyes and clenched my teeth together. "N-no…" I pulled at my hair. "This… This can't be h-happening…"
"Demyx…? W-what happened here?" Zexion?… No… H-he doesn't care anymore…
I felt more tears slip. "Go away…" I chocked out. You don't care, so don't act like you do…
I then felt his familiar hand on my shoulder, and I stiffened. "Demy-"
My eye's opened wide. "Don't touch me!" I heard the water rise, as I slapped Zexion's hand away. "Just-just!… Stay away… Please… I-I can't take this…" I felt the water calmly wrap around me, this time a hallowed-out bubble. The water… The water's safe… Water's the only thing I can really trust… I slowly closed my eyes again.
Zexion's POV
W-what? Demyx yelled at me?…
"H-he's crazy!" I looked to Larxene, who looked like a drowned rat. That's a good look on her. She started running to the Mansion. Probably to go cry to Marluxia about her hair.
I then turned back to the water-surrounded Demyx… Is… Is he crying?… Dem… I reached out to him, trying to get to him. But the water stopped me. I pulled my hand back immediately. It was moving so fast, it hurt and made my hand an angry red.
But I have to get to Demyx! I pushed my hand through again… Shit… It burns… But I can't stop!
Now my whole arm's in. Just… A little more. I launched forward, and grabbed his hand. "De-Demyx!"
"H-huh!" His eyes snapped open, the bubble fell, and I carefully pulled/caught Demyx in my arms. He stiffened in my arms. "Zexi-"
"Shhh…" I hugged him tighter. "I got you now Demyx…"
It was awhile before I felt him hug me back. Soon after however, his head found my shoulder, a moment later I felt both his body shake and tears hit my shoulder.
"Demyx?" I asked in a shushed calm voice. "What's wrong?"
"You… Y-you don't like… Me anymore… O-or care!"
I… Don't care? W-what!? "W-where's you ever get that idea Demyx?" I do care. I do. I do. I do!
"Y-you've been ignoring me…" Oh… "And Larxene said-"
What!? "Demyx you can't possibly believe her!" He went slack in my arms. Why'd I yell at him? I'm so stupid! I sighed. "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to yell… But… I do care Demyx, and I still feel the same about you know as I did then."
"B-but… You've been avoiding me… And never looked my way ever since I got here… P-please Zex… T-tell me the truth!"
Cat's out of the bag… I sighed and pushed him to arm length. "Do you really want the truth?" He nodded strongly, tears in his eyes but not spilling over anymore. "I'm feeling so many things. Anger, sadness, depression, and a little… Happiness…? I'm angry because I couldn't stop you from selling yourself. Sadness because you're stuck here. Depression because you're here against your will. And… Happiness because I get to see you here… With me…" Demyx just blinked. I sighed and brought my hands to my sides. "Sorry, that was probably weird… I-" Demyx covered my mouth with his in seconds. So… He's not angry?… I closed my eyes and kissed back… It was slow, passionate, and not rushed…
We slowly pulled back and Demyx smiled. "Thank you Zexy!"
I blushed, and fake coughed looking away. "R-right… So… Let's go inside…?" Demyx took my hand and happily lead me inside.
