Chapter 2: Midnight Surprises
Demyx knocked on Axel's door for the tenth time this making the redhead very annoyed while he was hurrying to get ready. "Damn it Demyx I told you I'm almost done! Be patient, got it memorized?" Axel said yelling at the closed door. Demyx, on the other hand, was more than just impatient he was afraid of the dark and the castle hallways were unnaturally dark and creepy at night. "A-are y-you sure Axel?" Demyx asked looking over his shoulder every few minutes. A few short minutes later Axel opened the door and came out of his room shutting off the light and closing the door behind him. "Do you have you're bathing suit on under your coat Demyx?" the redhead asked making a flame appear in his hand to guide their way down the dark corridors. Demyx nodded and walked close to Axel as both of them started down the hallway. "Man the castle looks nothing like it dose during the day. It is like we are in a whole other castle." Axel said to pass the time. Demyx nodded yet again walked even closer to Axel. To his surprise Axel was very comforting in this creepy dark hallway. Neither of them spoke for a long time. Every once and a while Demyx would hear something and look behind him to see if anyone was there, but he found nothing. Suddenly Axel stopped and put out his light. "AX-!!!" Demyx was about to scream out, but Axel but his hand over his mouth. "Be quiet and stay here!" he whispered into the frightened musicians ear. Then Demyx heard footsteps walking away from him "Axel don't…leave…me…" but Axel was gone. Demyx just stood there like he was told wide-eyed and shaking like a leaf. He summoned his sitar hoping that would calm him down a bit, but that plan failed. He held it closely to his body being on his guard if anything were to attack him. A hand gripped onto his shoulder tightly. Ready to let out a scream another hand was placed on his mouth. "Its just me don't freak out. I just went to go check something out." Axel said letting go of him and summoning some fire to light their way. Demyx was shivering violently now and still in shock. "Are you cold or something? I didn't think I scared to that badly." Axel said while putting his hand on his shoulder for comfort. 'He cares that I'm scared? I didn't know Axel could be so nice…' Demyx blushed in the darkness. He didn't realize this until Axel leaned in closer for a better look. "Dem, are you feeling alright?" Axel asked looking into Demyx's bright blue eyes. Demyx blushing even redder in the face he looked into Axel's bright green eyes. "Axel?" the musician asked without thinking. "Yes? What is it?" he replied his face inches away from Demyx's. "Uh….we better continue walking or we'll never get to Atlantica before the others wake up." He said and Axel nodded in agreement. Demyx's sitar disappeared and he continued to walk next to Axel down the dark hallway. He started to feel much safer with Axel right here with him. Maybe he was starting to feel something for Axel? Demyx lost in thought ran into Axel's back. "Ow I'm sorry Axel I wasn't paying attention." He said apologetically. "Huh? Oh its fine." Axel replied and put his hand out in front of him to summon a portal of dark energy. "You ready Demyx?" he asked turning to Demyx. "I am ready for anything!! Lets go!" Demyx replied back to his cheerful and perky self. Axel laughed "Now that's the Demyx I know." Then the two of them walked into the portal. As the portal closed, Saïx appeared "Now where are those two trouble makers off to?" he said frowning "I better report this to Superior." And he disappeared into a portal himself.
"Demyx wake up! Damn birds go away!" Demyx opened his eyes to find himself being held up by none other than Axel and water surrounding them. "Axel…" his voice trailed off when he saw two seagulls on top of Axel's head. "Oh your finally awake! Thank god now I can let you go!" he lets go of Demyx and summons his chakrams. "YOU WANT SOME FRIED BIRD?" he yelled and throws one on his chakrams at the bird. Getting a little freaked out by his companion he scoots away from him. The two were in shallow crystal clear water and the first thing Demyx noticed was his fin. "I-I'm a…a…merman?!" he squeaked and Axel looked back at him. "Yeah I have one too." He said pointing out his bright red fin with black at the tips. Demyx examined his own fin, which was as blue as the sea itself. "Wow…" he said speechless then looked over at Axel who moved closer over to him now staring at him. Demyx blushed at the sight of him topless. He never actually saw Axel without a shirt on so he was surprised to see how muscular he was. Of course everyone in the Organization worked out and stayed fit but Axel was both muscular and skinny. "Are you sure you're not sick? You face is a pinkish color." He asked staring at Demyx. "No, no I'm fine! Now ware to now? I doubt we're going to stay in this shallow water forever." He said staring right back at Axel. He rolled his eyes and the two of them swam out into deeper water.
