Warning: This contains AkuDemy and slight XigDem, which means there's BoyxBoy in this story! Just pointing that out.~

Disclaimer: I don't own Demyx! D:


It was a pretty easy day at the Blue Chill. Customers came and went every once in a while, which allowed the employees to engage in their own little conversations. The mall was somewhat busy, but not like usual. There weren't as many kids and teenagers around due to school. Everyone who had work was either currently working or on their lunch break. Demyx was soon to be one of those who were on their lunch break. He couldn't wait either. He was starving so much, that his stomach growled loudly every five seconds it seemed. Xigbar would make fun of the poor, hungry teen when he'd hear his stomach demanding food.

"Uhg! I'm so hungry, I could eat a whole freakin' restaurant right now..." the dirty blonde complained, "Is it 1:30pm yet?"

"Nope. You still have a half an hour before you can go on lunch break," Xigbar replied, laughing once more at the sound of Demyx's stomach. The dirty blonde hunched over the counter in defeat, resting his forehead on it, and groaned out loud. Just as he looked up, Luxord was making his way into the café.

"Hey, guys. I'm guessing it's a pretty boring day?" Luxord questioned, glancing at the almost lifeless Demyx in front of him.

"Sort of; Demyx is just complaining about how hungry he is. He forgot to eat dinner last night after work and didn't eat this morning," Roxas explained, playing with a stirring straw, between his fingers, that he got from the counter. Xigbar chuckled at the dirty blonde next to him.

"Jeez Demyx, how can you forget to eat?" his pirate friend asked him with a smirk on his face.

"I got so caught up with moving in and totally forgot that we need food to survive," Demyx replied, sullenly. This earned an eye roll from Xigbar as he laughed once more.

Luxord walked behind the counter and placed a hand of Demyx's shoulder. "How about you and Xigbar take your lunch now then, huh? It's only thirty minutes before your set time so I don't see why you can't go get something to eat now."

"Really?" Demyx asked, brimming with hope. Luxord nodded and Demyx ran to the back room so fast that it took everyone a moment to register that he was gone. He returned without his apron on and ran by the entrance to wait for his assistant manager. "Come on, Xigbar! Let's go!"

Xigbar blinked and laughed before going into the back to change out of his apron. When he returned, Demyx was already halfway out the door. To catch up, he ran after the dirty blonde to follow where he was going, guessing that Demyx was choosing where to eat this time. The younger of the two walked into the pizza place and ordered slices of pizza for himself and Xigbar, since Xigbar treated the both of them yesterday. They both sat down with their food and drinks at a red and black table.

"So how's the unpacking going? You finish last night at all?" Xigbar asked, picking up his pizza.

Demyx took a bite and started chewing while nodding to Xigbar's question. He swallowed, satisfied with the flavor of the pizza. "Yeah, I finished last night. The majority of it was done days ago, but just a few odds and ends needed to be put away," he lied, feeling bad he even had to.

The dirty blonde looked around, once again noticing that no high school students were surrounding the premises. "Hey, how come Roxas is here while he's a high school kid?" Demyx asked, curious.

Xigbar stared at him for a moment and then laughed at the question. "Man, you're pretty observant," he stated. Demyx just shrugged his shoulders and smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, I guess so. I just tend to space out sometimes and notice certain things," the blonde admitted, feeling a little embarrassed.

His one-eyed coworker chuckled. "To answer your question, he's in some work program at his school. He goes to school in the morning and then goes to work."

Demyx hummed before biting into his pizza once more. "When did you graduate?" he asked his friend in between chews.

Xigbar grimaced after taking a sip of his soda. "I don't like talking about my age too much. I did graduate before you, but that's all I'm saying," he replied with a somewhat dark chuckle.

Demyx didn't notice Xigbar's kidding, yet serious tone. Instead, his mind was fixated on a certain redhead, who was in a store for male teens, named Flare Fly. The store was right across from the pizza place they were eating at. Demyx was occupied by their hair, amazed that someone could even have that fire truck, red shade as their hair color.

Then it hit him. He's seen that hair color before. It was the exact same as the guy he ran into the day before. The blonde's eyes shot open like he just seen a ghost float by. Demyx watched him from afar, tuning out Xigbar as he talked about how much of a slacker he was in high school.

The redhead was looking through some checkered scarves, occasionally taking one off of the peg hook it was hanging on to get a better look at it. Demyx smiled to himself as he studied the look the redhead expressed every time he saw a color he didn't like. He forgot all about his fellow coworker who was sitting across from him, now trying to get his attention instead of talking.

"Yo! Hey, Demyx!" Xigbar yelled out to his spaced out friend. Demyx jumped at his name being called and he looked over at Xigbar. "Jeez, maybe you're too observant," Xigbar laughed before finishing his pizza.

Demyx blushed lightly at the comment. "S-sorry, something caught my eye and I got side-tracked," he explained, not wanting to continue the conversation. However, Xigbar was curious as to what was more important than him.

"Oh? What caught your eye?" he questioned, starting to look around for anything he thought Demyx would find amusing. He took a sip of his soda as his eyes roamed the area.

The youngest shook his head quickly. "It was nothing!" he replied, looking at a clock on the wall. "We should start heading back to work, or else we'll be late."

Xigbar took a moment before nodding, still searching. The blonde finished his pizza, took both Xigbar's and his plate, and his soda, and then got up. He walked over to the garbage and threw out the plates, still working on his soda. Both males walked out of the pizza place and headed back to Blue Chill. While heading back, Demyx glanced over to where the redhead was, checking to see if he was still there. However, he wasn't in sight anymore. Demyx's frown going unnoticed by Xigbar, he turned his head forward to watch where he was going.

"Hey, so I was wondering," Xigbar started, "you want to go out to dinner with me tonight? Maybe even afterwards, we'll go to the amusement park. You know, I heard they don't close until next week, so we can go. It'll be fun. So, what do you say?"

Demyx smiled when he heard the word amusement park. He adored them. If he could, he would've moved there. Alas, no one ever heard of someone living at an amusement park, so he couldn't. He nodded, excited for later on tonight. He couldn't remember the last time he went to an amusement park or fair. "Alright, it's a date," Xigbar stated with a wide, victory smile. Demyx, too busy thinking about all of the awesome rides he was going to go on, didn't hear the last comment Xigbar made.


Demyx was serving someone a hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream when it became 6:30pm. The time was flying by him as he thought about the redhead he saw earlier during lunch. He didn't see the guy at all yesterday, so he figured that he'd never see the redhead again. However, there he was in the store across from the pizza place just a few hours ago. Demyx highly doubted that someone would come to the mall twice in not even five days, unless they worked there. "Will I see him everyday then?" the blonde thought to himself while heading back to the counter.

Roxas peeked over at his coworker, who was daydreaming while staring off at the entrance of the café. "Hey Demyx, are you alright? You don't seem all there," the blonde asked, worried about his new friend.

The dirty blonde hummed in response before snapping back to his senses. "H-huh? I do?"

Roxas nodded. "Yeah, you've been like that ever since lunch. Did something happen?"

"O-oh, nope. Everything's fine; sorry for worrying you," Demyx apologized with a guilty look upon his face.

The younger blonde wore a skeptic expression before reluctantly replying okay. Xigbar walked out of the back room, with his apron off, towards the two at the front counter. "Yo, Demyx. We can go now, you know. Our shift's over for today; unless you want to stay here on overtime?"

Demyx shook his head. "No way."

"Thought so. I'll just wait here until you're ready to leave," Xigbar said, taking a seat at one of the empty tables. Demyx ran into the back and got out of his apron. He could hear Roxas and Xigbar conversing about someone's Birthday party they got invited to.

Demyx almost forgot that today just so happened to be his. Tonight at 9:09pm, he would be turning twenty and would no longer be a teenager. He didn't think he'd make friends so quickly and saw no point in throwing a party since he thought no one would come. However, now he wished he told at least some one so he could throw a party. He loved parties with a passion, almost as much as he loved music. This would be his first Birthday out on his own. At least he did make plans with Xigbar to go to the amusement park; it was better than sitting at home alone. He sighed quietly and walked out of the room. "Alright, I'm ready," he announced, taking out his car keys that were in his jean pocket.

"While we're on the subject of Birthdays, when's yours, Demyx? Mine's on the thirteenth of June, Xigbar's Birthday is on the second of February and Luxord's falls on the tenth of October," Roxas asked the dirty blonde.

Demyx was taken aback by the question, not expecting it. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "It was um...It was today," the dirty blonde answered, somewhat timidly.

Xigbar and Roxas stared at Demyx wide-eyed before Xigbar threw his arms in the air. "Why didn't you tell us?" he asked, confused and a bit upset at the response.

Demyx shrugged and smiled with an apologetic expression. "I didn't know you guys wanted to know. I kind of forgot about it myself until now," he explained to the two.

"How old are you now?" Roxas asked, not yelling unlike his fellow coworker, Xigbar.

"I turn twenty at 9:09 tonight."

"Twenty? That's an important age, dude! You won't be a teenager in less than three hours!" Xigbar exclaimed. Demyx just stood there, scratching the back of his head, abashed. His pirate friend sighed and shook his head. "Alright then; we'll just have to fit in a cake into tonight's date."

Roxas shot Xigbar a deadly look, not knowing that he asked Demyx on a date. He then looked over at Demyx to see his reaction. Demyx didn't seem to be paying attention to Xigbar or Roxas anymore. It was like he was looking for someone else. It made Roxas wonder if poor Demyx was even aware that he was going on his first date ever. "Hey Demyx," Roxas started, figuring he should warn his fellow coworker. However, he was cut off by Xigbar.

"Yo, we should get going, Demyx. We'll go out to dinner, then the amusement park and afterwards, we can go to my place for your Birthday cake, alright? We just have to pick it up on the way to my apartment," he explained, getting Demyx's attention. Demyx nodded, smiling.

"Sure, thanks!" he exclaimed, happily. Demyx and Xigbar both started to walk out and yelled their good-byes to Roxas and Luxord. Roxas was just about to stop the two, before Luxord called his name from the back. He ignored the call and started to follow them to warn Demyx. Luxord walked out calling Roxas' name once more, noticing his employee was leaving the café. He shot Roxas a look as the young teen looked back. He looked between Demyx and Xigbar, who were disappearing into a crowd of people, and his boss. Unwillingly, he walked back into the café over by Luxord. He hoped Demyx would be able to figure out what he just got himself into before it would be too late.


There's quite a lot of Xigbar in this chapter xD Poor Demyx has no idea what's going on D:

Sorry there hasn't been any AkuDemy really but it's getting there! Also, I'm throwing in a little fun here. I'm starting this thing where you, my readers, will be able to ask the characters in the story any questions you want through reviews! I figured it's be entertaining for all of us. Now it can be about anything from the current chapters that are up, to something random like "Luxord, what's your favorite color?"

The only questions you can't ask are stuff like "So, Demyx, how did your night with Xigbar go?" because it hasn't happened yet. If you ask a question about current uploaded chapters, let it be something like "Roxas, do you get annoyed by Xigbar's actions a lot?" or about their thoughts and feelings on what happened.

The only people you can ask questions t,o are the people that have made an appearance and please address who the question is for. Oh! And only one question per review please! If you want to ask another question, just review another chapter or review the same chapter again. It'd just be easier for me for some odd reason lol xD

So ask away guys! I'll try my best to answer! w

Anyways, thanks for reading and please R&R! It'd be much appreciated! :D
