Yay! Another drabble. For those of you reading Third Journey…I'm working on it. But I wrote two drabbles today in school when I was supposed to be listening to all the first day introduction crap. That's right, first day of school, gross. That means updates will be slower for everything though most likely drabbles will be coming out more just because I get random ideas inspired by what happens around me. But enough ranting.

Zexion stared at the heart shaped moon from where he sat in the courtyard of the Castle that Never Was. He was unaware of how long he had been sitting there. The time had blended together into a blur of colors and shapes, passing by without his consent. It was as if everything around him was moving and he was standing still, eyes fixed on the bright orb above him. He was content like this. Nothing could bother him. He was untouchable…
"Zexion?"
The voice broke through his carefully constructed shield and he jumped to his feet, whirling around as lilac eyes clashed with blue. Demyx reeled back, startled by the reaction.
"Sorry Zexion. I didn't mean to startle you," Demyx hurriedly apologized.
Zexion didn't respond, instead turning around to gaze back at the moon. Demyx was not the person he wanted to deal with right now. Demyx had been following him around for the past month, badgering him with questions and just generally being annoying. He guessed it was because he had bothered everyone else to the point of being yelled at and Zexion was the last one left to talk to.
"Go away," Zexion finally said.
"But I wanted to talk to you…" Demyx said, voice hurt.
"Don't sound so sad. It's not like what you feel is actually real," Zexion sighed.
"It is too! And I have proof! I…wanted to impress you. So I researched it," Demyx said firmly. "And you should listen."
Zexion turned around, a fine eyebrow raised. "You? Researched?"
Demyx pouted. "Don't say that as if it's a surprise. Now just listen! Please?"
Zexion sighed again. "Fine. Hurry up and go away. You're wasting my time."
Demyx resisted the urge to snap back and took a deep breath. "Well, I was researching emotions. I found that emotions aren't connected to the heart like we thought. They um…are triggered by chemicals in the brain. That means we have emotions! Which means everything we've been feeling is real!"
Zexion stared at him, slowly letting the words sink in, rolling them around in his mind before his eyes widened. Why hadn't he seen it? He was so focused on emotions being connected to the heart that he hadn't even considered other possible mediums for emotions to be processed through! And all along, the information was right under his nose in the library.
"Um…Zexion?"
"You're a genius Demyx," Zexion breathed. "I can't believe I didn't see it!"
"Does this mean you're impressed?" Demyx asked hopefully.
"Why would you care anyway?" Zexion asked.
Demyx blushed and looked down, shuffling his feet awkwardly. "Um…well you see…I uh…like you. A lot. And I um…I'm not good at this. But I like you and I want to be with you and I…don't know what I'm saying."
Zexion stared at him. "You like me?"
Demyx nodded. "Yeah. I mean…you're…amazing."
"But I've never really talked to you…" Zexion said, eyes still staring at him.
"What does that matter?" Demyx asked. "I've been watching you…that sounds creepy. But it's true! You interest me and I want to get to know you because I think I could…love you…if you gave me a chance."
The last part was said quietly and Zexion was shocked into silence. Loves me? But why? There's nothing good about me! I'm no good at communicating with words and I have no hand eye coordination…but what does that have to do with anything!? Am I freaking out? Is Demyx actually making me feel something?
"Um…Zexion, you look a little pale," Demyx said worriedly, stepping forward and pressing his hand to Zexion's forehead.
Zexion flushed abruptly at the contact. "Demyx-"
"And now you're all flushed! Are you okay?" Demyx asked, fear seeping into his voice.
"I…yes. I'm fine. But um…"
Demyx smirked. "I've got you mixed up, don't I?"
Zexion felt the flush deepen and nodded.
"So will you give it a try? Being with me? Learning to love me?" Demyx asked, chewing his lip worriedly.
Zexion didn't respond, his mind still in a furious whirl as he tried to take in everything that was happening. It was as if everything was rushing past him in a rush, not giving him time to process it.
"S-sure. Why not?" The words were said before the thoughts were fully formed in his brain and he clamped his mouth shut. Had he really just said that?
Demyx smiled. "I'm glad I could convince you. I've been in love with you for…awhile. This is awkward."
Zexion didn't know how to respond so he instead moved closer. Demyx got the hint and quickly closed the distance between them, sealing his lips firmly over Zexion's, gripping the back of his head and pressing close. Zexion didn't respond for several seconds but eventually tentatively moved his lips against Demyx's unsure if he was doing it right. Demyx drew away, smirking.
"You'll grow to love me, eventually," he said confidently. "Until then, I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want."
Zexion nodded. I think I could grow to love you, Demyx.
