A/N: Yes...I do own Kingdom Hearts...be jealous...

It's sitting up in my room with the rest of my video games. D

Demyx wasn't the kind of nobody to sit still for hours and wait. He was a hyper-active, go-lucky musician. He didn't want to be sitting here forever waiting for Zexion to get back from his mission. However, he did. He had been up in Zexion's room for a good three hours now! For anyone else, he was almost positive he would have left already. But for Zexion, he had sat on the younger boy's bed and read his books and doodled in his notepads for three hours! He must be in love...That's the only way to explain it. Then again, they did just have their first date yesterday (Though Zexion will NEVER admit it was a "date")...Maybe the infatuation hadn't worn off yet. He gingerly cuddled into the sheets covering number VI's bed and took a deep breath.

They smell just like him... He thought. A light scent of vanilla whirled around Demyx as he laid in the bed, cuddled under Zexion's sheets. Eventually, he reached his maximum point of ecstasy and high from the scent that he drifted into a gentle slumber upon the bed, forgetting completly about waiting for Zexion to get back from his mission.

(Demyx drifting asleep to thoughts of their date)

"I hope you know, this isn't a date." Zexion glared at Demyx, who at the time, was cuddling to his shoulder on a bench with a small sea-salt ice cream hanging from his mouth. He bit off another piece of it and smiled up at the younger, lilac haired boy.

"Sure it isn't." Demyx laughed and kept eating his ice cream. He raised it to take another bite before a few kids ran by them, chasing after one another through the town streets and caused Demyx to fall over off the bench, face first into the ice cream. "Oh no!" He whined, trying to salvage what was left of his ice cream.

"Number IX..." Zexion slapped his hand, bending over in front of Demyx. "Stop that."

"But--" Tears began to flow from Demyx's eyes. "This is our date, and I wanted ice cream for our date..." He was close to sobbing now, as he sniffed, face covered in smushed seasalt ice cream. Zexion sighed and took out a small tissue from his cloak pocket and wiped of the older boy's face free of ice cream and tears.

"Nobodies don't cry, Number IX." Zexion sighed, petting the other boy's hair. "But if it makes you feel better...here." He put his own, untouched ice cream in front of Demyx's face. "You can have my ice cream." He smiled slightly. Demyx sat up and squee'd.

"Thank you, Zex!" The blonde threw his arms around Zexion's shoulders in a tight hug.

"Demyx...wake up..." He heard a voice. Zexion's? Couldn't be. He just called to him by his name. That just wasn't Zexion. "Dem..." He felt a soft pressure on his face...a loving gesture of a touche to his cheek, now burning with a blush. "Please? I have something to tell you." Demyx peered up just slightly. Sure enough, Zexion was less then too close to the face of the Melodious Nocturne. "Demyx...I love you..." Their eyes met in a look that said too much to be spoken and Demyx smiled.

"I love you, too, Zexion! I always have, and--" He was cut off by the foreign feel of a kiss from the Schemer. As the atmosphere in the room grew into a state of romance...Demyx awoke to find that it was all only a dream, pouting at himself for getting so worked up about it. "Of course it was only a dream...He called me Demyx." He sighed, looking over at Zexion's clock. Whoa, asleep for four more hours. Surely Zexion had to be done with his mission by now...

The young, blonde musician ran through the halls of The Castle Oblivion, racing down the ivory floors and asking around to see if anyone had seen Zexion. He had no answers, only "Sorry, Demyx." or "Uh...He isn't back yet...Don't wait up for him." He wasn't understanding all the sympathetic looks he was receiving. Then, he ran into Xigbar, Larxene, and Marluxia.

"Guys...have any of you seen Zexion?" He asked with a sad look on his face. The reactions he got were less then well...or well-intentioned for that matter. Marluxia gave that "Oh my god guys, I think we just ran over that kid's puppy" look...Larxene laughed almost hysterically, and Xigbar smirked.

"Well," Number II began, "I haven't seen him...but why don't you check the next few rooms? I'm sure you'll find him." He grinned. Demyx's face lit up happily with any information on Zexion that he could get.

"THANKS, XIG!" He said happily, running through to the next rooms. After he was out of earshot, Marluxia spoke up.

"Why give him that kind of false hope, Xigbar?" He asked sympathetically.

"I just wanted to see his face when he figures it out..." Xigbar explained, causing a loud outburst of laughter from Larxene.

"You are both so cruel..." Marluxia glared.

"Oh, back of, Marlu. You'd do it if there was something in it for you." Larxene giggled. To this, Marluxia had to remain quiet.

Demyx found his way down a few doors and took a step into the Hall Of Rememberance. Maybe Zexion was visiting Vexen? He looked around, and the room was empty of any other life but himself. He sighed and turned out, ready to check another room before doing a double take. Something didn't look right. The water controlling boy observed the room closer. Was there a new grave stone?

"...Oh no..." Demyx whispered to himself, biting his lip and stepping forward. He clenched his fists and knelt down in front of the small stone.

NUMBER VI - THE CLOAKED SCHEMER.

He bent down in front of the stone and held his breath before letting out a loud sob. Few tears escaped before he recalled Zexion's words and whispered them encouragingly to himself.

"Nobodies do not cry..."

But at that time, nothing he could say or do for himself would bring his love back, and nothing would stop the tears flowing down his face.

And this time, Zexion wasn't there to make it better...and he never would be again.

Sorry for the depressingness of this story. I love Zemyx to death, and you should all know how much I love Zexion himself, but I had never written a tragedy about them before. Just a short little story about their cute relationship and how it was so rudely ended by Riku. D I've had the concept of "Nobodies Don't Cry" for a really long time, but I just now got off my lazy but to re-edit it and post it. Hope you guys like it! R&R!
