So how these two got to hear about it was kinda tough for me to come up with because they didn't know their parents and Lulu and Laguna didn't know about them so this one was kind of a challenge. But I hope you like it anyways. By the way, it's not just them finding out, this will continue for a little while.
"Hey, what do you wanna do today?" Aqua leisurely asked Rikku who merely shrugged as she laid on the blue haired girl. Aqua just laughed lightly.
"We could go to the beach!"
"I dunno. Last time, didn't we...erm, interrupt something?"
"Oh yea...well. Let's call 'em! We can all go! That way they'll know we're there and hopefully won't be canoodling right in front of us!" Rikku giggled as she sat up and reached for her cell phone. "D..Dem..." She murmured as she scrolled through the list of names. "Demyx!" She exclaimed once she found it. She bounced gently as she listened to the ringing.
"Hello?" She arched an eyebrow at the unfamiliar voice. It sounded so tired and sad.
"Hello?"
"Who is this?"
"Who is this?"
"This is Mrs. Loire. Demyx's mother? Now who is this?"
"Oh! Sorry! Um, where's Demyx?" There was silence on the other end, a muffled sound and then a crackling before Mrs. Loire returned.
"I'm sorry...Demyx is..." Another muffled sound and then a cough.
"Hello?" Another voice asked and Rikku looked with worry at Aqua.
"Hi? This is Rikku? I just...wanted to talk to Demyx."
"Oh god..." The voice whispered and another cough took place. "Rikku, this is Mr. Loire, Demyx's father. I'm really sorry. We were going to tell Demyx's friends later but...Demyx is gone."
"What?"
"Demyx had an unfortunate accident. And I'm afraid he's no longer with us." Rikku's wide eyes immediately began to water.
"Oh god." She said and held her hand over her mouth. "W-what happened? How is Zexion? I mean I know they were close and everything."
"Zexion is gone. They both...had unfortunate accidents."
"No..." Rikku whispered and on the other end, Laguna nodded, not knowing what to say to a girl he'd never met, informing her that her friends were both deceased.
"I'm sorry..." Laguna mumbled and tried to compose himself. He was fixated on being strong for his wife and this girl for some reason. The burden of being the strong one in the face of tragedy fell on him. "Whenever we have plans for a funeral I will be sure to call you."
"Yes. Please please do." Rikku said through her tears and gasped for air as she shut her phone. She stared blankly at the wall.
"What's wrong?" Aqua said and rested her hand on her girlfriend's shoulder.
"No, don't touch me." Rikku jumped up from the couch and wrapped her arms around herself. Her lip quivered as she looked down with flooding eyes. "Zexion and Demyx...are um....dead. They're dead. I don't know what else to say but they're dead. And Demyx's dad or mom didn't really tell me anything except that there was an accident and..." Rikku trailed off and stared at the carpet, trying to make her lip stop shaking.
"Oh god." Aqua repeated. There were no other words for something like this. She stood and stepped closer to Rikku but the blonde only inched away.
"I don't want you to touch me. Please..." She trailed off again and walked into the bathroom, locking the door behind her.
The whole "don't touch me" thing is kind of based off me. I hate being touched, especially when I'm upset. Whereas Rikku likes being touched any other time (dirty!), I don't really like being touched at any time though haha. Obviously Rikku doesn't want Aqua anywhere near her right now.
