A/N: Oh, lovely misunderstandings, Axel, you do have a sick mind.
Axel awoke a few hours later, the castle was mostly quiet. He got out of his bed and started to walk down the hall, it was mostly full of the sounds of nobodies at rest. He could hear a conversation from Demyx's room, and stood about a foot from the doorway for a second. Ordix's voice sounded somewhat loudly.
"RAWR! I'm a big monster!" The eight-year-olds voice rang through.
"Ordix, I'm trying to play my sitar." Demyx sighed.
"And I'm trying to attack Tokyo, but, it's not working out, either." She rolled her eyes.
"Come over here." he looked to the black-haired child. She did as told and sat up on the bed next to Demyx. "I want to teach you something." He smiled a little.
Axel sat curiously outside the door now. He grabbed the little girl's hand gently and placed her palm on the side of the sitar, it was cold, but calming, like water. "Feel that? Now, put your fingers like this." He moved her hand gently to the strings, seperating each of her small fingers to touch each of the three strings.
Axel glared at the door a little. What's he doing? "Now," he let go of her hand gently, "move your hand gently, ok?" She nodded.
Axel got up and opened the door, to find Ordix's hand on the sitar and Demyx with a confused expression, "Hello, Axel."
"Hi." the red-head blinked.
"Um, do you need something?" Demyx cocked his head.
"N-no, I just thought, er, nevermind. You can continue with your lesson...of sitar-ing.." He smiled a little, nervous.
"That's 'sitar-playing', Axel," He looked back to Ordix, "ok, now, justmove your hand gently."
She did as told and the instrument made a small noise, she smiled brightly. Axel left, and sighed. Damn you, brain. Interpretataion is NOT your forte. He continued to walk down the halls, to Xembar's room. He knocked on the door quietly with the knuckle of his pointer-finger.
There was no answer. She probably didn't hear me. He opened the door, he didn't see her. "Xembar?" He called quietly while shutting the door behind him.
It was dark, he looked around, then he spotted something. She was under her covers, asleep. He smiled and knelt down next to the bed. She looked so peaceful.
He set his pointer and middle finger on her shoulder and gently brushed them down her side. She was very warm. She twitched a little, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I love you."
He sat by her bedside just watching her sleep for what may have been hours before falling asleep. He hadn't really realised he'd fallen asleep next to her bed until he was awoken by someone poking his shoulder. "Axel?"
He looked up to see Xembar. "Why are you poking me?" He yawned.
"You were sleeping on my floor." She blinked.
"Oh." He said, still half-asleep. "I'll deal with that later." He went back to sleep.
"Axel!" She poked him again.
"What?" He mumbled.
"What if Xemnas sees you in here?" She asked, concerned.
"Then I'll...mmfff, fine." He got off of the floor and stretched a little. "Mornin'."
"Morning," She sighed, "I just...if Xemnas found out..."
"He'd kill us both in a heart-beat? Or...lack thereof?" He grinned a little.
She rolled her eyes and nodded. "I love you, though." He smiled, drawing a little closer to her and bending over so his face was directly above hers as she looked up at him. He touched her lips gently with his own and then straightened back up.
"I'll ben right back." He left the room and opened Demyx's door. There sat the boy with the young cat-girl curled up and asleep on his lap. She was about the length of his legs crossed, even balled up, though she was only about two feet tall. Her ears twitched lightly as the door was opened.
"Hey, Demyx?" Axel looked at him.
"Yeah?" Demyx whispered, looking up as Ordix's tail flicked across his wrist.
"Do you know where Xemnas is per chance?" He whispered.
"He's out on a mission, weirdly enough." Demyx whispered.
Axel nodded and left. He entered Xembar's room, closing the door behind him again. "Xemnas is out on a mission, he should be a while." Xembar's thoughts were just the same as his own.
What a carefree and naive world live is.
A/N: The ending of this chapter was a bit subtle, so, if you get it, then you get it, if you don't, then it doesn't matter because I'm skipping this little 'scene'. :P
