This was absolutely fun to write. When you get up to Demyx singing a certain song, you'll know why. :D
Plus it was a little hard to resist putting in the end of this chapter. I was like oh snap, Zexy should so be all wacked out when he's tired. hehe!
Disclaimer: If I owned it, I would have made Axel and Roxas make out in the World That Never Was flashbacks. Since that did not happen, let's move on.
When we had gotten there, a large muscular, and I must admit scary, looking man rose an eyebrow at me as I attempted to enter with Demyx.
"Hey, you can't come in yet." He said and went to stop me but Demyx put a hand on his arm.
"He's with me, Lexaeus." He smiled and the man named called Lexaeus nodded and allowed me to follow Demyx in. We were early so that Demyx showed me around and then lead me backstage. Playing with drumsticks was Xaldin and Xigbar was plucking at his bass guitar. Two other guys I had never seen were sitting next to a keyboard and quarreling about something but I couldn't tell what.
"Hey guys, you remember Zexion right, Xaldin, Xigbar?" Xaldin waved his hand once and Xigbar 'arred' in acknowledgement. Demyx pointed towards the man with bluish silver hair. "That's Saix, and the other one who is unnaturally uhm, unattractive is Vexen. They both do lighting and sound adjustments and all that other stuff for us." Saix and Vexen seemed to be deep in arguments about what seemed to be about scientific inquires. Vexen I must say was unattractive like Demyx said and his hair was absolutely atrocious. "Larxene is part of our own personal security team with Lexaeus and Luxord just comes to take people's money with useless band merchandise." He grinned and picked up a blue guitar with a large dark blue music note on the bottom. "This is my pride and joy, although I have yet to name her."
"Her?"
"Yes, she's a her. Anyways, you wanna hang out in front? We kinda have to work on some secret band things." Demyx announced to me.
"By that he means that he can't have any distractions so he can remember all the lyrics to the songs." Xigbar smirked and Demyx attempted a pathetic glare in his direction. I just nodded and walked back to the main room and sat down near Luxord.
Luxord was very good at selling things; he had a rather good charm and way with words that people just had to buy things. I guessed that he must have learned this in some ways from playing card games all the time. While I was waiting for everyone else to show up, the room started to get packed with mostly girls, but also some other males. As I sat stiffly, letting myself gain my emotion range of a rock pose, I overheard some girls with too strong of a perfume talking about none other than me. How did I know? They were pointing right at me.
"Yeah that's him. He's the one Molly said walked in with Demyx." A redhead 'whispered' to the brunette sitting next to her.
"Really? He's kind of hot but totally not Demyx's type." Her companion replied.
"He looks like he has the emotional range of a log." A blonde put in. Excuse me; it's a rock, thank you very much.
"Yeah, I mean, I bet he's just a friend at most, and what's with his clothes? He's so not Demyx's type. I mean like, Demyx is all like, happy and then you look at him and you see emo kid." The brunette chattered on.
"Totally, like ew. We don't really have to worry." I felt the anger rise in my chest but chose to ignore them since I really shouldn't be listening in anyway. But it seemed like the feeling I had wouldn't go away, and it only grew more as I heard more girls talk about how much they think Demyx was attractive and all the information they knew about him. His birthday, favorite color, how many sodas he can chug, the one color he ever dyed his hair, and countless other facts whizzed by me, making me start to think.
How much did I know about Demyx? I knew close to nothing compared to these girls who all adore him. So can I really like Demyx if I don't know even the most basic facts about him? I shifted in my chair and caught a glimpse of Axel's fiery red hair. Maybe talking to someone about something else will get my mind off of this.
"Hey, Zexion!" Axel waved and pushed his way through a horde of girls eyeing him; that was until Roxas latched onto Axel's arm and glared at every single one of them. I then saw Riku make his way to me from the left and Sora clinging to his arm so the mob wouldn't separate them. When we all met, I couldn't think of anything to say while Axel and Riku explained to me that Marluxia and Xemnas had to watch the store.
"More like watch Made and Super Sweet Sixteen," Axel scoffed and they laughed. Riku seemed to start getting irritated when he suddenly turned around to face some of the girls who were indiscreetly looking at him.
"Ladies, I regret to inform you but I already have someone so please, stop looking at my ass." Riku put one arm around Sora's shoulder and grinned. Sora flushed and many of the girls scowled at him.
"Bitches and Man-Whores!" I turned around to see the only person who would greet someone like that. "Are you all ready to rock?" Larxene shouted and a roar of yells and screams erupted. They actually responded to how she addressed them? "Okay, but first let me direct your attention to my lovely brother in the corner who is selling some merchandise, so go waste some money on it when you're done with the show. Also, no drinking or smoking in here, at least not yet. If you're caught doing something like that then that big muscular oaf in the back-" she pointed at Lexaeus-"will take you outside. You don't want that." She smirked and switched the microphone into the other hand. "All right, now start it up for the Melodious Nocturne!" She threw her hands up in the air and a burst of sound erupted through the room.
At first, I thought I had gone deaf from the extremely loud music and there was a lot of jumping bodies and moving around me that I was slightly puzzled, okay I was totally confused about what was going on. I saw them on the stage but I couldn't quite get used to all these people being so close and all their smells were making me dizzy that I pushed my way to the back where Luxord was standing.
"I told Demyx that he should put some security on your scrawny body." Luxord smirked and I was surprised I was able to hear him over the loud music. I glared at him and turned around to see the swaying mob of bodies. Finding that my height was below average compared to a lot of these people I jumped on the chair that I had previously been standing on to see everyone on the stage.
Demyx was wearing a nicely fitted faded cameo shirt and black shorts that zippered up the sides. His hair was done up so that it was bit spiky and he wore black wrist warmers with something white on it but I couldn't tell what. It wasn't what he had come in, so he must have had it with him backstage. Xaldin and Xigbar were in the same clothes I had first seen them in, Xigbar in an outfit that resembled something a pirate would wear and Xaldin wore plain clothes. They looked quite funny, all of them mixed together with the different styles but when I finally focused on the music it was quite good; Demyx also sang quite well.
"You're smiling." Luxord informed me and I tried to force the smile down but I couldn't; Demyx just looked so happy up on the stage that I couldn't help but feel happy myself. It was so contagious.
At the end, of it all, people started to swarm the table Luxord was at so I quickly maneuvered my way through them towards the stage. It appeared that everyone was leaving except for some older teenagers. Demyx was chatting with Xaldin and Xigbar, laughing the way through their conversations. Xaldin shook his head and Xigbar was nodding in laughter. Demyx was grinning and I could only wonder what they were going to do.
"Come on, I know you want to! Why else would you have that CD in the player the other day?" Demyx nudged Xaldin in the side and Xaldin grunted.
"Come on matey, it's not that bad. It's just a load of fun!" Xigbar excitedly nudged Xaldin too and Xaldin finally sighed.
"Fine, I'll have them put it in." Xaldin gave in and Xigbar started to laugh even harder with Demyx.
"What are they doing?" Axel asked me and I shrugged. Roxas, Riku and Sora were behind me too; we were all a safe distance from the mob scene buying merchandise. Xaldin got up and went backstage and came back shortly afterwards.
"I swear, this is the only time I'm going to let you guys do this…" He shook his head and sat on his drum stool. Xigbar grabbed a microphone and Demyx took his and hand and they tried to compose themselves. They finally settled down after some music had started playing and they took a while to get in sync with what was playing. Demyx nudged Xigbar and he restrained from laughing.
"Take 'em to the bridge!" He said and pointed at Demyx.
"Dirty babeee, you see these shackles baby I'm your slaveee. I'll let you whip me if I misbehaveee…." I was pretty sure my jaw had dropped at this moment as everyone else was laughing hysterically. Some of the pack of consumers had returned to the stage and were taking pictures of them and laughing and swooning over the very…. suggestive dancing Demyx had started to do.
"Let me see what you're twerkin' with!" Xigbar was somehow able to still sound like a surfer with a pirate complex while he was saying this which was funny but I was too dead set on watching Demyx.
"Go ahead, be gone with it."
"Look at those hips," At this point Demyx swiveled his hips around.
"Go ahead, be gone with it." I was absolutely speechless. Seriously, I have no words in my almost unlimited knowledge of vocabulary to express what was happening at that moment. Eventually Demyx burst out laughing and they had to stop but the crowd had reformed and most of the girls had been screaming and taking pictures and videos of their performance. Demyx was still laughing when he tried to talk into the microphone.
"Go back to buying things," he said between laughs. "We were just fooling around!" He grinned and Xaldin shook his head. Larxene suddenly stomped onto the stage.
"Demyx!" She steamed and Demyx smiled nervously. "What do you think you're doing?"
"Oh come on, we were just having some fun, ya know-" Their argument was blurred by the voices all around me.
"He's so hot; I wonder if he's single?"
"Of course he is, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if one of us asked-"
"No way, I bet he would like me more-" I became aggravated by all of them. I stood still but inside I was churning and growling. I may not know his birthday, I may not know his favorite color, heck I may not even know his last name, but one thing for sure is that I like him a whole lot more than them. I don't like him for his looks; I like him for how he makes me feel. He doesn't judge me and I can do what I want around him, although I've never tried that much to test that out all the way. But he's just so… unexplainable. He's the first person who I haven't been able to explain in words or figure out and he's just so… he makes me ramble like I'm doing now!
I was not going to let them think whatever they were thinking. But what could I do? It's not like I had laid any claims to him. I don't even know if he feels the same about me. Although if I do that I can kill two birds with one stone, I can claim him and find out how he feels about me. It's not like this would be the first strangely illogical thing I've done when it concerns Demyx. Taking a deep breath I thought for a while longer. Would this be a good idea? Have I weighed all the factors and possible consequences? No, I haven't, but there is a tiny voice in the back of my head telling me to screw the consequences and for once go with my gut feeling instead of my brain.
Climbing onto the stage Demyx looked at me out of the corner of his eye and then took a double take and cocked his head to the side.
"Zexy? What are you doing up here?" He waved his hand away to Lexaeus and he grabbed Larxene and was able to take her rambling cursing self off the stage.
"Demyx I-" Oh my God I just froze. Standing there, Demyx took a step closer and I could hear a lot of questions like "What is he doing?" and "Who does he think he is?" from the crowd. The logical voice appeared again and started to argue with the other voice about what I was doing.
"Nothing." I turned on my heel and walked right off the stage. What had I just done, I have no idea. But it was not going to make any sense doing something so… irrational in front of so many people. I have nothing to lose; I don't know these people, and I sure have no reputation to uphold. But Demyx, he has a band and well, if I do something that could affect what the fans think, that would be horrible. Such a selfish thing I almost did.
"What was that all about?" I looked up through the hair that was falling in front of my eyes. Pushing myself off the wall I had unconsciously leaned on, I shoved my hands in my pocket.
"Nothing. When are we going home?" I said with a bit too much edge. Demyx flinched, but kept the smile on his face.
"Not having fun are you?" I didn't answer but Demyx shrugged and walked back out on the stage. After a few goodbyes and thank yous, he came back to me.
"They said they could take care of stuff here. I should really take you home." I nodded, and started to feel the drowsiness take over. I don't normally stay up late two nights in a row, and it was starting to take effect on me.
On the drive home I felt sleepy as I looked at the clock that read 12:42. I was curled up in the seat and about to doze off when Demyx gently touched my arm, waking me up. I ungracefully stumbled out of the car and straightened myself. This was no time to lose my composure. Demyx had grabbed my bag out of the trunk and took my things inside and locked the front door. I slumped onto the couch and closed my eyes.
"You can leave when you want; I already locked the front door…" I started to slur my words, but I knew that Demyx, being Demyx, didn't really care. Instead of hearing a goodbye, I felt myself be lifted from the couch and Demyx start to carry me down the hall.
"Demyx?"
"Where's your room?"
"Demyx put me dow-"
"You shouldn't sleep on the couch; I read somewhere that it's back for your neck or something." I contemplated whether telling him again to put me down or if this was a moment I shouldn't pass up.
"Second room on the left." I answered before he continued and I felt him shift my weight so he could open the door. He let me go on the bed and I curled up right away. It was silent but I could still smell his scent so I knew he had not moved from the side of the bed.
"Don't just there. It's kind of creepy." I grumbled. Indeed, I was not used to someone watching me as I attempted to go to sleep. It reminded me of those old horror movies where the stalker would watch his victim- very demented. I heard him shift his weight to the other foot and I sighed. I get cranky when I get very tired, believe it or not, and Demyx was not helping with his stalkerish way at the moment.
"What do you want?" I sat up and suppressed a growl. Don't get cranky, that's not like you. I focused myself and bored a hole through Demyx's head while he was taking forever to answer my question.
"I don't want to leave you alone here…" He rubbed the back of his neck and I fidgeted. Must get to sleep. Must regenerate ability to show the emotional range of rock. Doing the only thing my half asleep mind could think of, I grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him down onto my bed. It was a pretty small bed, so he fell halfway on me, but I could care less. I need sleep. He scampered off from on top of me and chose to sit next to me.
"Well then go to sleep, what else are you going to do here? Write a soap opera?" What did I say? Demyx laughed and scratched his head before choosing to lie down. Turning over, I hugged him close to me and closed my eyes. Giant Teddy Bears are nice to go to sleep with.
"Goodnight, Giant Teddy Bear." Hmm, really big bears are starting to dance around in my dream now. An especially furry one grins at me and tells me, 'Goodnight, Zexion."
Yeah that song, I had to put it in there. It was just too funny in my head to leave it out. And I wrote those lines from what I can understand in the song, and the line I think is the funniest is the twerkin' thing because I'm really not sure if that's what they say, but it's a rather funny sounding word. xD
Aww, Zexion being all cute at the end! I mean, he did stay up late two nights in a row, later than normal for him anyways, so of coruse you're going to be a bit strange. At least, everyone I know that stays up late for two nights in a row gets all strange. :shrugs: It was just too cute for me to resist. The fangirl inside me is bursting through lol.
Sorry for such a long wait, I already ahve the next chapter written though so I jsut need my beta to read it and wallah!
Please review loves! :D (For some reason I've been saying that word lately lol)
