Babysitting 101
14 days: War of the Wolves
" You know our plan?" Demyx asked Roxas as quietly as possible so Larxene and Axel couldn't hear them. Roxas looked at Demyx innocently and nodded. Demyx ruffled up Roxas's dirty blonde hair and got up. He hoisted Roxas to his waist and the snuck down the stairs and under a table. He pulled out two blue headbands and gave one to Roxas.
"Put this on your forehead. Since Larxene and Axel have the markings on their faces, we should have headbands." Demyx explained to the totally confused little toddler. Roxas smiled and then tried to put the headband on.
"Dwemyx, it won't stay on." Roxas muttered in an annoyed voice. He held out his hand that contained the headband. Demyx picked it up, sat Roxas on his lap, and tied the headband on his forehead. Roxas giggled happily and then hugged Demyx. Demyx smiled and kissed him on the forehead. Then the two went back to their sneak attack to take control of the kitchen again.
"Okay, Roxas, this is your big role. You need to sneak out and be as LOUD as possible so you can catch the attention of Larxene and Axel." Demyx said as he pushed Roxas gently on his back out from under the table. Roxas quickly toddled over to the couch and hid. He then peeked out to see Axel and Larxene cooking some chicken and mashed potatoes. He then poked his little body out and crawled over to the center of the kitchen. He stopped to look back at Demyx who urged him on. He took a deep breath and then...
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" The little toddler screamed from the top of his lungs. He then fell to the ground and scraped his knee. Axel and Larxene turned around to see Roxas wailing on the cold, tile floor. Larxene dropped everything and ran to comfort the little boy. She cradled him in her arms and started cooing him.
"What's wrong, Roxas?" Larxene said as she completely forgot that Roxas was on Demyx's team. She started running her hands over his little body to see if he had any serious bumps or bruises. She stroked Roxas's hair to try to calm him down. Roxas didn't stop crying and this gave Demyx a chance to summon his sitar and water clones. Axel was the first to catch him. While Larxene was concentrating on soothing Roxas, Axel pulled out his chakrams and swung them at the melodious nocturne. Demyx dodged them with ease and surrounded Axel with his water clones.
"Give up the kitchen!" Demyx yelled as he watched Axel get sprayed by water. Axel snapped back into reality and swung his chakrams once more. He repeated this several times and Demyx got hit twice.
"I will never give you the kitchen…at least not today! We're STARVING and we can't wait any longer!" Axel said as he shook his drenched, red hair. Demyx stopped his water clones and he stood there, watching Larxene and axel carefully for their next move. To Demyx's surprise, Roxas still hadn't stopped crying, which wasn't part of his plan. He walked over to Roxas and Larxene and bent down. Larxene looked up at him with worried eyes. The war was over for now.
"I think he might have sprained his wrist." Larxene said as she continued on trying to soothe Roxas. Demyx returned with a worried look himself. Larxene passed him Roxas and he examined him.
"No, I don't think he did that. I think he's just shocked by the fall he had." Demyx assured them. He stroked Roxas's hair and his breathing began to even. Demyx, Axel, and Larxene smiled at each other. Demyx gave the toddler back to his sister. She held him close to her and he looked up.
"Warxene, I'm twired and hungwy." Roxas said sleepily while rubbing his eyes and yawning. He then snuggled closer to Larxene and she stroked his hair. He quickly fell asleep in her arms. Larxene, Axel, and Demyx smiled and walked into the kitchen. Larxene handed Roxas to Demyx and went back to cooking dinner. Demyx plopped onto the couch and Axel soon followed. They both stared at Roxas with smiles on their faces. Roxas turned and went back to sleep.
"So, Demyx, what are you planning on doing tomorrow?" Axel asked as he took his gaze off of Roxas. Demyx stared at him blankly for a minute and then smiled.
"Well, I'm planning on taking you guys out for breakfast at Zexion's store. He has REALLY good breakfast. " Demyx replied simply. Axel tilted his head and asked, "Why?" Demyx chuckled a bit then ruffled Axel's hair.
"Because…uh…" Demyx stammered while blushing. Axel smirked and crossed his arms.
"You like Larxene don't you?" Axel teased as he punched Demyx on the shoulder. Demyx blushed even more and Axel smirked more.
" Bet you do! Don't deny it!" Axel said in a sing-song voice. Demyx was getting nervous so he got up and walked away.
"Denial is a BAD thing, Demyx!" Axel yelled after him. Demyx just lowered his head and walked over to the dinner table. He slumped in his chair while carrying Roxas. Roxas woke up and realized Demyx and Larxene were TALKING. He slid off the chair and toddled over to Axel to give the two privacy.
"This is going to be interesting." Axel said as Roxas sat next to him. Roxas shook his head in a disagreeing motion.
"Your wong, Axwel. Dwemyx doesn't wike Larxene." Roxas said staring at his older brother.
"How do you know? For all you know, he might be lying. You can tell if he's lying if he doesn't make eye contact and sweats a lot." Axel informed his little brother and ruffled his hair. Roxas groaned in displeasure and attempted to flatten his hair again. (Of course...it didn't work) Axel chucled and turned his attention back to the two.
"Hey, Demyx," Larxene started but then realized Demyx wasn't his regular self. Larxene sat by her best friend and Demyx turned away.
"Uh, what's wrong, Demy?" Larxene said using the name she used when they were little. Demyx looked at her but then his gaze turned sad once more. He sighed and rested his had on his hands.
"Demyx, please tell me what's wrong." Larxene said in a gentle voice. She tried to get her friend to make eye contact with her but failed. Surprisingly, Demyx answered her question with a shaky voice.
"Um…I…he…they…we…your…beautiful…she…friend…" Demyx stammered as he blushed. Larxene noticed the words ' your beautiful' and started blushing. She took a deep breath and walked over to her embarrassed friend.
"Demyx, do you have a crush on me?" Larxene asked. Demyx's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly nodded his head. He then turned away and ran up the stairs and into a random bedroom. Larxene stared after him with a happy yet confused look on her face. She just nodded something and went over to her little brothers.
"Axel, Roxas, do you know anything, anything at all about this?" Larxene asked. Axel smiled evilly and Roxas just stared at her.
"I know EVERYTHING!" Axel blurted out. He had spied on them the whole time and also eavesdropped. Larxene smiled and then turned her gaze to Roxas.
"Do you know anything?" She asked. Roxas smiled and nodded. Larxene let out a sigh of relief.
"Are you mad?" Roxas asked while cuddling up to Larxene. Larxene giggled and ruffled his hair.
"How could I be mad at the tow most adorable brothers in the world?" Larxene said as Axel cuddled up to her. She smiled.
"Why did you ask if we knew anything?" Axel asked smartly. Larxene stared at him. Axel was smart when he wanted to be.
"Because, I need you guys to get all the information you can on this. You guys need to eavesdrop."
