Chapter One:
The Little Mermaid
It's raining again.
I sighed as it started to pour down harder. By now, my clothes were completely soaked through, and I was drenched. Smiling, I picked up the pace and laughed out loud. I've always loved the rain. Judging by one of my only two memories, I could tell that.
As I was walking, I looked up at the sky and closing my eyes, let the rain cascade over my face.
Then I felt something catch one of my feet, and the next thing I knew I was on the ground. I sat up and looked around. There was something to my left, out of sight. When I turned my head, I saw that it was an umbrella. "oh...so what's this?" I saw something again out of the corner of my eye and turned around. What I saw then scared the hell out of me.
"Oh my Gawfd!!" I tried to yell but bit my tongue, "Ouch..ok, calm down..." No reason to get scared..."it's only a person..laying in the middle of the street..in the rain, on his side...looking dead..."
Hand on my chest, I slowly crawled over to the form. I could see that it was a man, and he didn't look as dead anymore. In fact...he was actually...very attractive...
"Ahh!! I can't believe I just thought that!" I yelled to myself as I jumped back. Then before I could stop myself I was back to hovering over the man. I have this feeling that he's going to jump up any minute now... I thought as I turned him over on his back.
Right after that he stirred a little bit and slowly opened his eyes. Ack! What do I do?! "...ummmm...hi...?" I said, not knowing what to do. He just stared though. Then his eyes closed again, and his head fell to the side. I could tell that his face was flushed, too. Putting my hand on his head, I understood why. He had an extremely high fever.
I just sat there for a while with my hand on his head, my mind running a blank, trying to ignore the elevator mind music. What should I do in this situation? I then picked up the man, not really knowing what to do. I have to get him out of this rain...then the hosptal....maybe. "...I can't afford the hospital...", I said to myself after I realized it.
And that is how Demyx ended up driving home, with a very attractive, and very unconscious, man in the seat next to him.
Eventually, I was able to drag the man into the car and wrap him up in a towel. It was actually the towel that I had planned on using. But I didn't really care. I liked being wet. ...with water...
I pulled off of the side of the road and drove onto the highway. I drove for a while in silence, which usually bothers me, but for some reason this time it didn't. In fact, I almost fell asleep.
I jolted awake as a car horn screamed at me. "Oh-kay! Time to put some music on, if this keeps up, I'll kill the both of us..."
At the mention of the man, I looked over at him, and couldn't help but smile. He didn't seem as pale anymore and it was more obvious that he was only sleeping.
Reaching over and putting a hand on his head, I sighed. "But he still has a fever." I took my hand back and pushed the play button on the tape player.
Under the sea, under the sea
Darlin' it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from me.
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away While we devoting full time to floating
Under the sea
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the wav-
After a shocked pause, I shouted at the tape player and quickly stabbed at the off button ...Oh crap. That's right, I was listening to this...
Suddenly realizing that I had yelled, I looked over at the man who was passed out next to me. Pheew..he's still out. That's good. That would have been...embarrassing to say the least.
"I can't keep on calling him 'man' in my head like that." I said to myself as I tried to forget the little mermaid incident. What should I call him..?
I thought about it for a good 15 minutes, driving in silence, going through at least 34 names. (including Fred, Mickie, and Austin)
I glanced at him for a few seconds, trying to get a good mental image. It has to fit him..but what can it be? Maybe something cute. I mean, he's just so adorable right now! And, he's drooling!
Unfortunately, I spent so much time being distracted by him and trying not to get into an accident, no name was thought of.
Sighing as I pulled into the parking lot of the apartment building he lived in, I parked the car and looked over. "I'll be right back. Stay here, ok?" Then I paused and shook my head. It's not like he can hear me...
Getting out of the car, I closed the door quietly and headed for my apartment. I unlocked the door and opened it, and then came back to the car and pulled the man out and onto my back. (ha ha piggy back...)
Taking my time carrying him to my apartment, I couldn't help but notice how light the man was. I don't think someone is supposed to be this light. I should make something for him.
Then I had to stop as I viewed the latest unwelcome problem in my life. "Oh gawd...stairs..." And with that, I began to climb.
Ok! That's it for now. I hoped that everyone liked it. I worked really hard. And for those who are still reading, here is a 5-second prewiew for chapter two! XD Please feel free to review afterwards!

It's warm again. Wait, again? When was the last time...?
I felt a little better, and it was warm. I was wrapped up in a large towel, and when I lifted my head up to look around, I could see that I was in a car.
Looking over, I noticed that the person driving the car looked familiar.
-click- Blond hair. Blue eyes. And..I think he's blushing. ...He's pretty cute. -click-
I suddenly remembered the face from before. I wonder who he is?
I stared for a few minutes before the hum of the engine and the soft feel of the towel lulled me to sleep. Again, he was the last thing that I saw before I closed my eyes.
