Chapter 7 Christmas shopping
We decided to take the train, which we missed the first one by a couple of minutes from not checking the schedule for the routes and also because I take so long in walking. So here we are sitting at the train station, waiting for a train that wouldn't be here for at least another fifteen minutes. Nothing to do but stare at the walls. That is until
"Hey wanna play 20 questions?" came out of Demyx's mouth. I nodded.
"sure, it's gotta be better than staring at the walls. You go first." I said not having any questions in mind at the time.
"hmm…why did you move here?" he asked after a couple minutes of thinking. I shrugged.
"my mom got a position opening over here. Were you born here?" an easily thought of question. He nodded.
"yeah same house and everything. What's the thing that most interests you?" I thought for a bit and then answered
"illusions, and since that was a great question what is the thing that most intrigues you?" his face lit up.
"water!" exclaimed happily. "so why'd you cut all of your hair off?" he had maybe I shouldn't have asked written all over his face. For some reason seeing this made me want to tell him the truth.
"my mom cut it all off" it wasn't a lie but it wasn't the full truth either. We sat in a awkward silence for a couple of minutes.
"so what's your parents like?" I asked trying to make the awkwardness disappear. He smiled while shrugging.
"like parents" he laughed out. "they're nice but I feel like they don't really know me. What are yours like?"
"uh.. I never really had the chance to get to know my father but my mom….is nice"
"oh I'm sorry, what happened to him? Did he die?" I shook my head happy that he asked about him instead of my hesitation when speaking about my mother.
"my parents got divorced when I was five. He still cares about me though, even if it's not much." I said feeling nostalgic.
"how do you know that?" Demyx fully getting into the conversation at hand.
"he sends me my child support every now and then instead of handing it over to my mom. He also sends me birthday cards." I shrugged looking at my feet. I could feel vibrations under them.
"that's nice. You know this is the longest time we've ever spoken before" he said with a big smile on his face. I looked at him with what I knew was a shocked face. how could I have told him all that stuff just now and not notice it? I asked myself right when the train pulled into the station. I pulled myself up and wobbled over to the doors with Demyx trailing behind cautious of me falling.
"where we headed to?" I asked upon getting off the last step of the stations stairs and into the station's square.
"to the market of coarse" he said pointing straight ahead into an alleyway. He started forward in a happy go lucky sort of mood to lead the way. I sighed when he began whistling this is going to be a long day I thought to myself hearing the faintest of sniggers in the back of my head afterward.
Demyx's POV
I put the belt down thinking he really wasn't a belt person. I sighed what am I going to get Zexion? I thought on my way to the other side of the store to find him. This was the fifth store we have been in today and both of us were still in search for two more items. I was missing Marluxia and Zexion, he was missing Larxene and I think it was Axel. Or maybe it was Marluxia I though unsure of who it was.
I ended up finding him crouched down next to a spinning wall full of jewelry. At first glance I thought he was looking for Larxene but as I got closer I noticed he had various lightning jewelry in his hand. what's he staring at then? I crouched down next to him.
"hey you getting that for Larxene?" he looked at me and nodded.
"yeah look" he handed the things he had clutched in his hand in me. I looked them over he had lighting earrings that matched with a bracelet and necklace. "think she'll like them?" he asked. I looked up and nodded to him.
"you know I don't really get why your buying these for her after the way she treated you before."
"she's your friend. If you plan on dragging me to your little Christmas exchange, which I know you will, I don't wan't to show up empty handed." he said reaching to mess around with a tag on a necklace. I looked and it looked like a thaumatrope back from the Victorian ages only on a necklace. He then started fiddling with it, spinning it ever so slowly. It had a white raven on one side with a bird cage on the other held by a sliver chain. He then went on messing with others, not so much as the first but still, for a few minutes. He stopped messing with them and turned to me ever so lightly taking the items from my hand.
"I'm going to go pay for these, You coming?" he asked standing up. I shook my head.
"I still haven't found anything for Marluxia. I'm going to check the back wall first."
"alright, I'll meet you outside then." once he was out of view I picked the thaumatrope necklace off the rack and then made my way to the back wall. I found a really cool rose bonsai tree made out of glass. I then decided to wait a couple minutes before heading to the register.
Zexion's POV
Upon waiting for the cashier to come back and check my items out I saw that someone had placed a blue teardrop looking necklace in the restock bin. I picked It up to examine it, in doing so I noticed that actual water was in it. I put it down with my other items and waited for the lady to come back and ring me up.
"so what do'ya wanna do now?" Demyx practically screamed in my ear as we were relaxing on a bench. Looking around I noticed there was a lot of people running around today. must be cause of the holiday's I thought.
"I kind of want to go home" I said quietly, he nodded while getting up. He then stretched his arms and body before turning to me with his arm outstretched to help me up.
"alright then let's get going." he said cheerfully.
Upon our return Demyx ended up dragging us to the cafeteria.
"I'm starving!" he whined.
"you weren't hungry a while a go." I sighed as we made our way through the halls.
"I was distracted! Why didn't you tell me it was lunch time when we were still in town." he had these sad puppy dog eyes looking at me, trying to make me feel guilty in some way even though there was no reason to at all.
"I didn't know. I wasn't checking the time nor was I hungry. How could I know that we missed lunch and that it was now dinner time?" he quickly became quiet upon entering the cafeteria with a happy look on his face. I sat down at a random table while he went to go get his food. I then proceeded opening Hallucination - Another Side, still curious on it's contents. After finishing my last book I was able to finally get to the tome of a book.
Upon reading a couple sentences I didn't know what to think of it. It contained instructions on how to create illusion's and mastering it. I doubt it actually works but being intrigued by it I kept on reading.
"whoa, dude please tell me that's a textbook for college." Demyx said as he sat down with two trays, one he placed in front of me. I merely shook my head.
"seriously?" looked up at him to see him take a bite of his pizza in shock.
"is it really hard to believe that people read books as big as these for entertainment?" I asked slowly pushing the tray back over to his side. He pushed it back.
"well yeah, of course maybe back then when they really believed in religion they did. But in modern times you're the only person I've seen reading a humongous book like that." he pointed to it. I pushed the tray back towards him and continued reading. Yet again it was pushed back, I sighed. " you've got to eat. You barely ate breakfast and you skipped lunch." I shook my head.
"not hungry" not a second after saying this he closed my book and slid it over to his side to which he placed it gently on his lap. He then put the food tray in front of me.
"you need to eat. It can't be healthy when you don't eat anything." he said seriously I solemnly looked at him. I could tell he wasn't going to let me go until I ate something. I sighed.
"I'm not hungry." I said trying to make him understand but he just shook his head.
"that's not true and both of us know that." he said taking another bite of his pizza, he was almost done with it. he's going to force me to eat? I panicly thought to myself.
"please don't force me" I felt burning in my eyes and my voice was becoming croaky. I forced the crying feeling down. I really didn't want him to see me like this.
"are you ok?" he said frantically not really comprehending what just happened but concerned none the less. I used my bangs to cover my whole face and nodded.
"please don't force me to eat." I begged. I looked at him through my hair and he looked very sad. We sat in silence for a couple minutes
"at least eat the pudding?" I looked at him figuring this is the only break I was going to get and nodded. I turned sideways on the bench with the pudding cup and spoon in my hands. Turning my head when taking bites so he couldn't see at all.
" what's Ignes Fatui mean?" I heard him say after I finished the pudding. I turned around to find he was inspecting my tome of a book.
" where do you see that?" he held up the book showing me the title page. I didn't get it still it still had the words Hallucination- Another Side on it. "seriously I don't get what your talking about"he shrugged and decided to ignore it after taking a double take on it.
"want to know something odd?" he asked now looking at the front cover of the book.
"what?" I sincerely asked.
"my sitar is the exact same shape of the one on your book." I gave him an odd look.
"you play the sitar?" he nodded enthusiastically.
" I'll show you when we get back to the rooms."he said happily taking a bite out of the pizza he brought for me. I nodded even though he wasn't looking and sat watching him eat for a while. When he got to his pudding it became very boring so I decided to look outside to the courtyard.
"it's snowing." I said not really caring even though I didn't expect it. All of a sudden Demyx finished his food quickly threw the trays out and stood next to me with a longing on his face.
"come on lets go back to the rooms to drop our stuff off and get into layers of clothes!" I looked at him in disbelief, he was fully serious about this.
We ended up dropping the bags off in my dorm room, me getting changed into, well not much, and then running over to his, which I found out wasn't very far from my own, for him to change. I waited outside not wanting to intrude. He opened the door and wrapped an ocean blue scarf around my neck.
"so you won't freeze to death he laughed." he then handed me gloves, while I was putting them on he put a matching ocean blue beanie on my head. I was starting to doubt me actually being able to maneuver around in the snow even with a walking cast on. It really wasn't a smart idea to put it on yet either I was supposed to wait till after Christmas to finally be able to wear it, and even then I still had to use the damn crutches. But upon seeing Demyx's happy face I just couldn't refuse it.
Demyx's POV
I looked over to Zexion after finally finishing my snow man. He looked like a little kid sitting with blankets wrapped all around him. adorable I squealed to myself. I wanted him to join me instead of just sitting there reading that ginormous book. I walked over and sat down next to him to try and persuade him.
"hey wanna have a snowball war?" I ask hoping he would agree. He shook his head.
"it might be bad to run around on my broken leg, plus it makes it kind of hard to make a snowball with one hand" he said while turning a page. I looked over to see what it said but it looked like a different language. Even the random graphs on the page were confusing without an explanation.
" well how bout a snow angel then?" I asked taking his injuries to heart. Once again a shake of the head. I sighed in frustration.
"isn't sighing usually my thing?" he joked looking at me. I took the book from his lap, now that he was off guard, bookmarked his page with his bookmark and place it on the blanket. I pulled the blankets off him and pulled him off the blanket and on to the snow. He shivered. "I said I didn't want to." he chattered out. He then began trying to get on to his feet only to fall back into the snow. I couldn't help let out a giggle at this.
Next thing I know there was snow on my face. I whipped it off and looked at Zexion. He was in the process of making another snowball using his hand and thigh. He had the most cutest pouty face on ever. I got hit with another one. He was now smugly smiling. I crouched down to start making a snowball to exact my revenge.
"oh you did not just do that" I said just as I was hit in the shoulder with one. I hurriedly threw one back. It him square in the face. He was shocked for a moment but when he came back he was in war ode. Snowballs started flying each and every way.
Reveiws are the things that fill my void of a heart. Please reveiw?
