A/N: I don't own anything else than the idea for the story.
Have fun!

Snowstorm
Demyx and Axel had left to hike. The weather was nice and some snow was on the ground from the last night. Demyx was quite happy about the snow and once in a while did a small snowball and threw it at Axel. Axel only chuckled and tried to throw one at his friend but the snowball always melted before Axel could do much of it.
They didn't have much of stuff with them. Actually, they only had some food along. While getting higher the wind started to pick up a little. Axel didn't give much of notion about it. Neither did Demyx. The slightly colder wind wasn't that of bad yet. Then small snowflakes started to fall from the sky. Demyx squealed happily and started to dance around in the slight snowing. Axel chuckled at him but they did keep on walking forward.
The two of them had thought about going up to a small cabin which the Organization owned. Demyx and Axel knew the place since they had gone to there once in a while, mostly at summer. This time they just had had enough of boredom at the castle and left to hike to the cabin. The weather wasn't supposed to turn deathly…
Little by little the wind picked up, the snowing turned into icy haze and the temperature started to drop quite fast. "Come on, Dem, we gotta get to the cabin as fast as possible!" Axel shouted through the wind and tried to speed up. Demyx had started to shiver and tried to follow Axel's pace but he was falling behind quite fast.
Demyx had put as much and as warm clothes on as he could but it didn't help when the cold came down. Demyx shivered even harder and started to slow down until he couldn't move anymore. Demyx gasped and fell to his knees in the snow. He couldn't move or make any noise to get Axel's notion. He only stared how Axel kept walking further into the fast falling snowstorm.
Axel had a feeling something wasn't right. He glanced once behind and saw a small snowman. He didn't notice Demyx anywhere. "Demyx!" Axel called but got no answer. Suddenly something hit him. They never passed a freaking snowman! The red head turned fully around and ran to the snowman. "Oh hell… Demyx!" Axel shouted when he realized that the snowman really was his friend.
"Hang in there, Dem…" Axel whispered while kneeling down next to Demyx. The Nocturne was still shivering quite badly, so Axel knew that his friend was still alive. "Don't you dare to die on me, Demy…" Axel said while he hugged his friend and started to try and get him warmer.
Axel looked around to find something worth of shelter but saw nothing through the snow. He tried to create a snow wall around them but all the snow he touched, melted. Axel cursed his too high body temperature for not being able to touch on the snow.
Axel kept on being as close to Demyx as possible and ran his hands up and down to create as much of warmth as possible. He took his warm coat off and carefully put it around Demyx to give slightly more warmth through it. "Damn it, why the freaking snowstorm had to start now? Couldn't it wait till we got to safety of the cabin, huh!" Axel cursed while quietly talking to Demyx and trying to keep his friend alive.
Without notion Axel had started to melt the snow around them and little by little he created a small cave. Axel noticed it only when he realized to see the ground under them. He looked around and was quite happy to notice the small cave they had gotten into. "Maybe all hope isn't lost yet…" Axel thought and carefully leaned against the snow. He started little by little to create a snowy cave and carefully dragged Demyx inside. "The storm won't get here…" Axel thought and took the backpack off.
He opened the pack and emptied it to the ground. After that he put the pack not too far from Demyx and lit it in fire. Carefully Axel kept Demyx as close to the fire as he could without making any of danger of burning him. The small clearing next to Axel started little by little fill with snow. Axel was slightly happy about it since he knew the storm wouldn't touch on them. Axel only kept a slight hole out of the small cave they were in to make sure they didn't smother in there.
Hours went past and Axel got whole time more worried for his friend. Demyx hadn't moved for long while, he had his eyes closed and felt so cold. Suddenly Demyx moved a little. "Demyx?" Axel called quietly. The Nocturne opened his eyes and nearly freaked out when he realized to be under the snow. "It is OK, Demy! Calm down!" Axel nearly shouted while holding onto Demyx so he wouldn't get to the fire. Demyx calmed down after a while.
"Nothing to worry, Dem…" Axel whispered and carefully rocked him forth and to. Demyx sighed and closed his eyes while carefully leaning towards Axel. "You really don't know how worried I was…" Axel said with a sigh. "Just stay with me, Dem… Don't die…" Axel kept on talking.
Demyx opened his eyes again and smiled a little. "I'm gonna be OK." He whispered and Axel nodded. He let go of Demyx and the Nocturne turned to look at Axel with a smile. "Thanks." He whispered. Axel smiled happily and chuckled a little.
"It's nothing, Demy. I'm glad you're OK." Axel replied and gave a quick hug to Demyx. "Wait here. I'll check if the storm would've slowed down by now…" Axel said and started to make a small cave towards the place they had come from. Once far enough from his friend, Axel started carefully stand up and melt the way open.
He inhaled some fresh air and looked around. There was no sign of storm. Axel kneeled down again with a smile and nodded to Demyx. "Close clear." He stated and came back to his friend. "Though, before we go it might be good idea to eat something, don't ya agree?" Axel asked and nodded to the scattered food on the ground.
Demyx blinked but nodded. "Where's the pack?" Demyx asked while choosing one of the sandwiches. Axel chuckled a little nervously while also picking up his food.
"I kinda burned it…" Axel replied with a slight blush and chuckle. Demyx looked at him in slight confusion before he realized what Axel was meaning. He chuckled too and nodded.
"Thanks for saving my life, Ax." Demyx said after they had eaten up some of the food.
"Eh, it's nothing. Just something that friends do." Axel replied and started to take the rest of the food into his pocket. "We probably should continue on the way. You wanna still get to the cabin or should we head back to the castle?" Axel asked when they headed out of the snow cave.
Demyx thought for a while. Axel melted some more of the snow and created nice snowy stairs for Demyx. "Thanks…" Demyx said with a slight blush and looked around. The scenery was filled with new untouched snow. "It looks quite beautiful." Demyx whispered before he noticed something and laughed. "I can't believe this!" He shouted and pointed to something.
Axel looked a little confused but looked what Demyx was pointing at. Axel stared for a while before he started to laugh. The cabin they had been heading to was on their right not too far away. Axel shook his head and chuckled. "Can't believe we were going to miss it. Come on, let's check it out." Axel said and started to make his way towards the cabin. Demyx still chuckled a little but followed Axel none the less.
The house was quite dusty but it didn't matter. This time they didn't stay there too long, just checking that everything was still all right at there. They left inside half an hour and started to head back towards the castle.
Once back at the castle, Demyx took up on a hot bath. He really wanted to relax and get slightly warmer. Axel then again was left to answer on the worried questions about the snowstorm and mainly about Demyx's condition. Axel explained the whole thing and told that there wasn't any of danger anymore. After the explanation Vexen started to work on a cloves that could prevent Axel melting the snow as well as shoes for the same pack. "Just in case for next time… Which hopefully never happens." Vexen replied when he was asked about the reason.
