Chapter 2-The Panic
A few weeks later, Zexion was walking down the halls of Castle Oblivion, a small smile on his face, a complete contrast to his trademark scowl, but ever since that day a few weeks ago Zexion felt like a different Nobody. His entire being felt… lighter. The World That Never Was no longer seemed the dark and gloomy place it was. The rain that drizzled down almost nonstop was now a thing of beauty not a nuisance. Zexion sighed, "How did he manage to change me this much, so fast?" Zexion shivered slightly unable to repress the shiver of fear, he wasn't sure if he liked all the changes. "Am I even me, anymore?" Zexion asked himself as he walked into the library. As he walked over to his favorite chair, the chair Demyx had kissed him in, Zexion had to suppress a smile. He shivered again, so unaccustomed to how the very thought of the blonde-haired nobody brought him joy. Zexion shook his head and pulled out yet another giant tome, he was here to read, not to think about his boyfriend. Zexion let his eyes skim over the page but found that the more he tried to concentrate on the book before him the more his mind wandered to teal eyes, blonde hair, and those amazing kisses. As much as he tried to fight it, Demyx was ingrained in his brain, he had become all consuming. As Zexion tried once more, in vain, to spend at list fifteen minutes not thinking of the other Nobody, in walked who else?
A yell of "ZEXY!!!!!!!" was the only warning Zexion had before he was glomped, "I missed you!" Demyx placed a light kiss on the blunette's cheek.
A spark of panic passed through Zexion, as extremely strong emotions swamped his newly beating heart, and Zexion lost it. The shorter nobody jumped away from Demyx and ran across the room, "STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!" he screamed, his visible eye wide with panic, his pupil dilated. "YOU'RE--YOU'RE CHANGING ME, I'M NOT WHO I WAS, AND IT'S YOUR FAULT!! JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME! YOU AREN'T A TRUE NOBODY AND NOW YOU'VE INFECTED ME. DON'T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME, AGAIN!!" Then Zexion turned and ran, he fled through the hallways of the Castle That Never Was, crystal tears staining his pale cheeks. He couldn't do this, he couldn't learn to love, he couldn't pretend to be human. He was a Nobody, he wasn't meant to feel and Demyx had caused these unfamiliar emotions. Zexion flew into his room and slammed the door shut behind him and began just destroying everything. His books, stacked neatly on their shelves, flew across the room pages coming loose. The shelves themselves were sent crashing to the floor, his desk was overturned and then, as suddenly as the panic had come on… it was gone. Zexion fell slowly to his floor, tears now streaming in earnest, 'what had he done?'
"I am a bastard," Zexion murmured to himself, as he choked back a sob, "A heartless bastard." As if to deny that statement his heart throbbed painfully and Zexion choked out, "Demyx……" Zexion hugged his knees and sobbed softly into them, he had to fix this. He knew Demyx would be heartbroken. He had to fix it and soon….
Meanwhile, Demyx was still in the library staring blankly at the space were Zexion, his Zexion, had yelled those hurtful words at him. Demyx choked suddenly and his heart tore in two as tears started pouring out of his beautiful teal eyes. Demyx fell to his knees sobbing, how could his Zexion say such things? How could the man who he loved completely, and he thought loved him, do that? Demyx put a hand to his chest, pain radiating from the area where his heart beat. 'So this is what a broken heart feels like?' he thought as his entire being seemed to mourn the loss of Zexion, and to break at the words that seemed to ring endlessly in his ears.
Still sobbing, Demyx pulled himself to his feet, he had to get back to his room he needed his music, right now. The blonde knew the only thing that would give him the semblance calm was the feeling of his sitar strings under his fingers. Demyx slowly walked along the wall of the library, stumbling every few steps as if injured. He forced himself to move through the castle and to his room, amazed none of the other Nobodies were about to see him so distraught. Not that most would have cared, still Demyx considered himself lucky. Once in his room Demyx sat down next to his sitar and began plucking the tune in his shattered heart. A mournful sound came from the sitar, the sound of a heart that was completely devastated, a true love that was lost. It was the most mournful thing that Demyx had ever played, and also the most truthful. With a final gasp Demyx finished the song and started sobbing anew, his tears flowing strongly and freely, he didn't think he would ever be happy again and as Demyx mourned a small rap, rap, rap sounded on his door. Demyx looked at the door, with no intention of answering it, and noticed a small slip of paper slide under the door. Standing, he walked over to the sheet and opened it. Written in small neat script the paper read:
"Just don't give up I'm workin' it out
Please don't give in, I won't let you down
It messed me up, need[ed] a second to breathe
Just keep coming around
Hey, whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
Whataya want from me"
Demyx looked at the slip of paper in shock; it could only be from one person…Zexion. He gasped, surprised, did this mean? Taking a shaking breath Demyx slowly opened his door and standing there, looking just as distraught and heartbroken as Demyx felt, was Zexion.
"I'm sorry… so, so sorry…" Zexion whispered looking straight at Demyx, "I panicked… I'm not used to emotions yet, love. So I freaked and said things I could never mean…. I hope you can forgive me…." Zexion finished and looked down, terrified of Demyx's reaction.
Demyx stared at Zexion for a few seconds then slowly placed his fingers under the younger nobodies chin and tilted his face up, "I forgive you…. But promise me that this won't happen again, if you are feeling scared or unsure, tell me. Don't let it build up, I can't have my heart broken again, Zexion."
Zexion nodded, "I promise…" he whispered and stepped shyly towards Demyx, wrapping his arms around Demyx's waist. "And as new as this is to me, I love you Demyx. You've changed me; you've given me a heart."
Demyx nervously wrapped his arms around Zexion, "I love you too, my Cloaked Schemer."
