A/N: Different POV for this chapter, the lyrics in the story are from Counting Crows' "A Long December" I can think of only these two when I hear this song! The lyrics are written like this: Lyric in itallics! The lyrics really aren't in order, but, they make sense this way with the chapter!
A long December, and there's reason to believe that maybe this year will be better than the last.
Demyx sighed and awoke. Alone and cold in his room, his soft blue-ish green eyes shifted around. It was very quiet, he got up and walked out to the grey area. He looked around.
And the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters, and no pearls.
Almost every face was blank and emotionless. The dreary life of a nobody. He sat on the floor, since the sofas were currently occupied.
I guess the winter makes you laugh a little slower, and talk a little lower.
All he could hear were hushed whispers. He could barely stand it. He hated being like this, no emotion, and with no friends. No one really talked to him. He was on the brink of what may have been insanity.
He began whispering to himself. Mostly random things that came in to his mind. Xigbar stopped and stood near the boy.
"Demyx?" He asked.
"Hm?" The boy looked up.
"Something wrong?" He blinked.
"I'd be more surprised if something here was right, Xiggy." He sighed and leaned against the wall.
"What do you mean?" Xigbar asked.
"I'm hopeless, we're all hopeless. All in search of hearts we know we're never going to find." He closed his eyes.
"At least we're all together?" Xigbar shrugged.
"Not like I have any friends. You may be together with everyone else, but, I'm all alone." He opened one eye slightly.
"Your own fault, then." Xigbar walked off. He wasn't being mean. Just, true.
Demyx had always been sort of a loner, though. He didn't really know why. But, the thing was, he really didn't care to know why if no one cared to be there. What was the point. He felt something nudge his arm.
If you think that I could be forgiven
He opened his eyes and looked over, "Huh?"
A small, familiar girl hugged his arm, "Don't lie."
"What do you mean...'don't lie'?" Demyx cocked his head.
"You said you have no friends," she buried her small cheek in to his sleeve, "I'm your friend, aren't I?"
He couldn't help the small smile that came across his face, he pulled her in to his lap. "Of course you are, Ordix."
I wish you would.
A/N: A very short chapter, indeed, it was just a filler, really! We already knew they were friends, but, establishing it a little bit doesn't hurt! I promise I'll be getting back to the lovely drama soon!
