Warning: hints of ZexionxDemyx.

Okay…this popped into my head from nowhere…I think Zemyx is very cute…its hard to write slash…well I find it hard, I never thought I'd write a slash fic that wasn't a commission…ooer…so anything I write isn't going to be yaoi or anything…but…hey. This isn't AU…its set just after Sora and Demyx fight in Hollow Bastion.

Demyx tried his best. He really did. But he wasn't a fighter…and Sora…well he was good. So with a defeated sigh and a final despairing cry, he fell to his knees and let the darkness consume him.

He let the tears fall as he felt himself drifting away. Into an…abyss? Was this nothingness all there was? No…that wasn't fair, there had to be something else…was life such a fleeting thing that people…and nobodies, just ceased to be? He screwed his eyes shut, his last image being that of a triumphant keyblade master, but his last thoughts going to a memory…a memory of a violet eyed, slate haired boy…man… who had been the only thing worth living for.

"Demyx?" He shook his head, confused. A memory? Was that all it was?

"Demyx, you don't have to be afraid. Here…Demyx?"

The blonde nobody opened his eyes. There was only blackness. He frowned, preparing to shut his eyes again. "No…not Demyx…" he murmured.

"Of course. Myde? Guess we have to re-do the introductions…take my hand, don't be afraid of the light…" Then the hand was in front of him, pale skin translucent in the dark. The blonde boy shivered. "Zexion?" he gasped.

"My name is Ienzo. Yours is Myde, right?"

"I…I suppose. Ienzo?"

"Myde, this is our second chance. To be us. Just like Zexion and Demyx…who we were…?"

"Ienzo…I'm scared."

"Don't be. Take my hand, Myde, I've waited for so long for you…come with me?"

Myde reached out, his fingertips brushing Ienzo's. An image rippled in front of him; a boy with cool light grey hair and grey eyes…Zexion but not Zexion…this was Ienzo. But it didn't matter. It didn't matter at all. Ienzo wanted him…Myde.

Ienzo pulled him towards a light, where figures stood waiting. Figures he recognised, but didn't recognise. People he remembered from both his past existences. Ienzo turned to him. "I thought being a Nobody was a waste of a life. If I'd known that this was the end…I would have chosen to die…but…I never would have met you if I hadn't decided to experiment as Ansem's youngest apprentice. Myde…I want you to stay with me. Here. In the afterlife."

Myde found he wasn't scared anymore. In the last few moments of his life as a nobody he smiled at Sora. He didn't think the brunette saw him. Never mind. It was Demyx' way of saying thank you for giving Myde his life back.

Death wasn't so bad.
