Alright so seriously. I wanted to like, skip along a few What Ifs so I can have a Halloween special, but that isn't cool to the ones id be skipping. SO I didn't. Besides…I know id be stalling so I wouldn't have to think about this crazy one. This one is an amazing suggestion and its going to be interesting to write.

Craziness. AND DON'T MAKE FUN OF THE NAMES in the story. I'll explain at the end. XP

I was hoping to have 100, but ah well. I know you all love me. 8D

By the by. The story used last chapter? Totally real. Its called the Vampire Who Loved Me by Teresa Medeiros. Excellent book. Tried to keep out the bad parts. XD

Onward!

"talk" think AND book entries ((mee))

This one's a doozy…

What If…

Zexion, using a pen name no one knew about, had written a very popular book/story

about how he fell in love with Demyx, but he used different names for everyone

and someone found out and made Zexion perform favors

and odd things or he/she'd tell Demyx?

((as suggested by the lovely NoirCat))

He called me Iggy.

He was just returning from his first quest of the year when he came up to me in the cafeteria. I was hard at work at my analysis of the human body when he interrupted me none-so-gracefully with:

"Whatcha doin?"

I snarled an unintelligible answer, hoping he would go away. Of course he was unable to take a hint. I swear he must be taking lessons from Boone and Chavez when it comes to annoyance.

He poked me. "Hey. Heeey Iggy-"

"My name is Ignacio. Do not call me…Iggy.' Its unbecoming."

Mind you I am proud of my name. It is a strong, Spanish name. Even when I got made fun of in grade school, I never let anyone call me…Iggy.

"Come on Iggy, lighten up! You need to take a step back from all of this "analysis" bullshit and take a break!"

I sighed and left the cafeteria.

I guess that was the first moment that he caught my eye. He's so persistent. All that morning he followed me around, trying to make me leave The Realm and go visit the other domains with him. As if I'd want to go to Sunrise Sity (they spell it wrong!) for a snow cone.

But he never wavered. And he always called me Iggy.

-----------

Zexion grinned to himself as he walked to breakfast. My book is selling wonderfully in Twilight Town, he thought as he sat down for breakfast, I'll make some extra money, and there's no possible way that it will appear in—

"Hey guys! Look what I found in Twilight Town!" Axel said, appearing with Roxas through a portal and sitting down. "It's called Affections! It's a really good book!"

No one even blinked at him. Vexen looked up from his breakfast momentarily. "Can you evenread Axel…?"

Axel started, offended. "Of course I can read!" he said defensively, "And I happen to know that every single one of you would like this book!"

Zexion shifted uncomfortably. Vexen sighed. "If you clean my labs today, I'll read your stupid book."

Axel grinned. "Deal." Zexion resisted the urge to faceplant into his eggs.

----------

I saw him the next morning at breakfast. He tried to sit in Letter E's spot next to mine. I pushed him out of it, snarling. I was not a morning person, especially around this character.

"Letter I. I would appreciate it if you would sit in your area further down the table."

"Call me Jax, Iggy. Or Jaxith if you must but I'd prefer Jax." He grinned and I pushed him down the table where Boone was flicking his eggs into Chavez's hair.

Ethan sat down two seats from me and sighed. "The lower letters are getting more and more juvenile," he muttered to no one in particular. Being closest to him, I pretended to listen. "Just the other day I saw Letters H and M messing with my gravitational analysis assignment…I was never able to recover those specimens," he lamented.

I sighed and turned to my breakfast. It was quite difficult to talk with Ethan if we weren't studying the same things.

Taking the risk, I looked down the table at Letter I. He was conversing with Letter H about something. He saw me and smiled. I looked over at my breakfast, slightly pink.

Why am I acting this way?

--------------------

The next morning, Vexen was smiling as he handed the book back to Axel. "That was a surprisingly interesting book," he said, "I actually enjoyed it. Especially that Ethan character…he seems to be a very misunderstood genius."

Axel looked at him skeptically. "He's a psychopathic physicist."

"Exactly. Superior?" Xemnas looked up from his pancakes. "I think you should read this. It really does have some merit." Xemnas nodded deftly and held out his hand for the book. Zexion began to choke on his bacon and Lexaeus thumped him on the back.

--------------------

The Captain summoned me to his office for a new quest today. I was to go out into a new domain with Letter I.

"But Captain-"

"No protesting. This is the quest I have given you. You have been doing too many analytical papers for your own good. You need to get out. Letter I will assist you. End of discussion."

I left the Captains office, resigned to find Letter I. I found him in his practice area.

"Come on," I muttered, opening a window. "I'm assigned with you today, so let's get this over with."

He looked slightly hurt as he silently went through the window.

As we fought together in the Royal Hall in the Land of Monsters, he seemed to be depressed. I debated about confronting him when he spoke.

"Do you hate me Iggy?"

I continued to fight silently. "I don't see any reason to like or hate you," I said finally.

"Would you give me a chance to give you reasons to like me?" he said slowly.

I didn't respond. He seemed to take this as a 'yes' and fought with renewed vigor.

-------------

"This book indeed does have merit," The Superior said, handing the book back to Axel. "Well done Number VIII. I encourage all of you to read it."

Zexion twitched. Axel grinned. "Come on Roxy! You read it next!"

Roxas sighed and took the book from him.

----------------

I sighed happily as I walked toward my room from the library. I had not seen or heard from Letter I at all. I was about to start skipping down the hall when I turned a corner and he plowed right into me, knocking me over.

He stuttered as he fell on top of me, slightly pink in the face. "I'm sorry Iggy! I-"

"It's alright…Jaxith," I said, pushing him off gently and standing up, turning to go back down the hall again.

"Wait!" he said, standing up. "I don't think you want to go down that hallway!"

I ignored him and continued to walk down the hallway. Soon I stopped dead in my tracks. Letters H and M were making out against the wall. Letter H had M pinned against the wall, whose hands were fisted in H's fiery red hair. I turned around deftly to see Jaxith grinning at me.

"I tried to warn you that Boone and Chavez were making out."

I snorted, turned back around, and walked down the hall, smacking Letter H over the head as I walked by.

------------------

"That was actually pretty good," Roxas said as he handed the book back to Axel at breakfast. "Boone seems like a pretty interesting character," he mused aloud.

Axel grinned devilishly. "I can be interesting too you know,"

Roxas winked at him, then blushed when he realized the others were staring at him. He cleared his throat. "Demyx, do you want to read it next?"

"I think I should read it first," Zexion suddenly cut in.

Marluxia looked up from his conversation with Larxene. "Actually, I was kind of hoping I would get to read it next," Marluxia stated.

Axel smiled. "Marly's closer to us," he said. "He gets it next!"

------------

I woke up the next morning sneezing. Looking over at my nightstand, I see a bouquet of flowers with a card from Jaxith. It seems to be an invitation to breakfast, even though I already go down there every morning. I roll over in bed, sneezing.

I groggily get dressed and walk down the hallway, where Jaxith is waiting. He smiled until I sneezed. He put a hand over my shoulder, concerned.

"Maybe you shouldn't come down to breakfast today," he said.

I snorted. "I'm allergic to flowers, you know." Jaxith winced. "Especially the ones that Florian grows. However he does it, it drives my sinuses insane."

"I'm sorry," Jaxith said. "You go take a nap in my room and I'll bring you up breakfast." I only protested mildly as he dragged me down the hall.

He's become the most interesting person in The Realm to me.

I laid down on his bed as he shut the door quietly. I turned over and took in the scent on his pillow. It seemed only a few moments later that he reappeared with breakfast. I looked up at him groggily.

"Sorry to wake you up," he said quietly. "I think you should eat this first."

"Thanks…Jax."

-----------

Marluxia stopped reading, intruigued. The events in this…Affections seem to similar to here… He looked at the cover.

"By Lounilis," he read aloud. "I must admit that this Florian sounds exactly like myself. And Zexion as never been able to tolerate my flowers…This could be why he was so adamant about Demyx not reading the book…I wonder…"

He spelled out L O U N I L I S on a piece of paper. After working for a few minutes on it, he discovered it was actually an anagram for Illusion.

"I knew it," he said. "Dear Iggy is in for it now…"

------------------

Marluxia waited outside of Zexion's door the next morning. Soon, he emerged and began to walk down to breakfast. "Why, good morning Zexion!" Zexion turned around as Marluxia put an arm around his shoulder and whispered quietly. "Or should I call you Iggy?" Zexion gasped and ducked out from Marluxia's arm.

"Come on did you really think it was that hard to figure out? I know for a fact you're allergic to my flowers," he said. Zexion looked around in the hallway, making sure no one was there.

"What do you want." he ground out.

"What? Are you that set on no one finding out? Or do you just not want dear Demyx finding out that you love him?"

Zexion flinched slightly. "What do you want."

Marluxia smiled darkly. "Oh, only a few things…" He whispered, holding up two boxes and pulling Zexion away to the bathroom.

----------------

Marluxia whistled happily as he walked down to breakfast. Entering the cafeteria, he took his place next to Larxene and whispered to her, "Watch the door. You'll laugh your ass off."

Larxene raised an eyebrow and glanced toward the door.

Zexion walked into the cafeteria with measured steps. Demyx turned around in his seat, smiling. "There you are Zexy! I was getting worried you were…whathappened?"

Zexion ground out a slow 'Good Morning Demyx' and continued walking down the table. Marluxia stuck out his foot and tripped him. Zexion, saying nothing, continued walking up toward his seat. He sat down as Axel and Roxas arrived at breakfast.

Axel burst into hysterical laughter. "Zexion. We all know you love your hair, but…why did you dye it turquoise and fuschia?"

Zexion twitched and said nothing. Damned Marluxia…The front of Zexion's hair was dark purplish red, while the rest of it was a bright and vibrant turquoise.

"So," Marluxia said, grinning maniacally, "Who wants to read this next? Larxene, I do believe you would find it most entertaining…"

-----------((flashback))----------

"Alright Lounilis. I'll make sure Demyx does not read this book if you dye your lovely hair these colors."

Zexion looked at him as if he just suggested he take a stroll down the hallway in his boxers. "This is…remarkably tame for you Marluxia."

"Oh this is just the tip of the iceberg my friend."

--------((end flashback))------------

Zexion growled as he walked back to his room after breakfast. Damned Marluxia…He's going to make me look like an idiot until this is over…I should just tell Demyx… He shuddered. He'll murder me…There's no way, he reasoned with himself as he opened the door to his room. This will all blow over eventually and it'll all go back to normal.

He opened his closet to grab a cloak for his next mission. His eyes widened as he realized that all of his robes had been dyed bright yellow. A piece of flowered stationery was attached to one.

A prank for every person who has yet to read it!

Not including Demyx of course, but you have to behave and keep your mouth shut or he'll be next.

Marluxia

Zexion shook with rage as he pulled out a canary yellow cloak.

--------((one week later))--------

Zexion could barely manage the strength to walk down to breakfast. Not only was he wearing a bright yellow robe with multicolored hair, but, since at the time there were seven people left to read the book, he also had 7 new "additions" to his fashionable attire. He had purple platform boots, a gold necklace, lime green tinted sunglasses, a light up red beret, clip-on earrings, blue eye shadow, and a pink belt. Axel couldn't even attend breakfast without having a minor seizure.

The Superior raised an eyebrow as Zexion walked into the cafeteria.

"Number VI."

Zexion looked up at the head of the table. "Yes Superior?"

"Is there something you wish to tell us about why you're dressing so…flamboyantly?"

"No sir." Zexion ground out.

"Kindly return to normal in the next few days."

Zexion nodded and sat down to breakfast. Luxord handed the book back to Axel. "All of us have read it Axel; it's a very nice book."

"I haven't read it yet!" Demyx said stubbornly.

"I'm sorry Demyx, here you-"

Marluxia took the book out of Axel's hand. "Actually, I'd like to reread a certain chapter first."

Zexion let out a breath he didn't know he was holding. Demyx started to protest, but Marluxia continued. "Aloud. It would be a bit of a teaser for you," he said, grinning evilly as he turned to the last chapter.

"It is getting more and more difficult to keep away from Jax.

I was sitting at a desk in the library working on my quest from The Captain when he came in and started to massage my shoulders.

"You look tense," he whispered quietly into my ear. "Maybe you should take a break."

I shuddered slightly. "In a little bit, Jax. I really need to get this done."

He sighed and left the library. I exhaled loudly and slumped into the chair. 'I have to tell him', I muttered to myself, trying in vain to get back to my research paper,-"

"That's enough." Demyx said, standing up soundlessly and leaving the cafeteria. Zexion hit Marluxia upside the head and chased after him.

Zexion, hindered by platform boots, made it to Demyx's room just as he slammed the door. He knocked quietly. "Demyx?"

"Go away."

"Can I explain?"

He opened the door soundlessly, and resumed picking out a tune on his sitar on his bed.

"Demyx, I'm—"

"Is this why you've been dressing like a lunatic all week? Because Marluxia has been blackmailing you? Have you been that afraid? You could have just let me read the book Zexion, I wouldn't have minded. But no,everyone else in the Organization had to read it first!"

"I-"

"Hell, you didn't even have to write such a book Lounilis! You could have justtalked to me! Dammit, Number VI, why didn't you just talk to me!?" He dropped his sitar and collapsed on the bed behind him.

Zexion winced at the name, and pulled off the majority of his idiotic clothing, including the outlandish cloak. "I'm sorry Demyx! I didn't think the book would get to The Castle, honest! I just..."

"What, Zexion? What. Don't be afraid to talk now!"

"I just needed to let out my feelings somehow. And I was…I was afraid." Demyx's harsh expression softened a little. "I was afraid you'd be angry at me, or you'd laugh at me, or something. This isn't something I couldn't research or figure out for myself, and it frightened me…"

"But why didn't you just let me read the book?"

"I didn't know what you'd think of it. I thought you'd react like you are now." He sighed and sat down in Demyx's computer chair. "I understand if you don't forgive me."

Demyx started to laugh at him. Zexion looked up at him, slightly hurt. Demyx stood up, and pulled Zexion into an embrace. "Silly Zexion," he whispered, "I'm just angry you didn't tell me first, let alone let me read your book."

"I'm sorry Demyx," he said, holding him closer. He shivered slightly. After all, he was the kind of Nobody that wore nothing but his boxers below his cloak.

Demyx smiled. "Can I read the book now at least?"

Zexion smiled back. "I'll give you an autographed copy."

Zexion, opting for minimal humiliation, took a portal to his bedroom and returned with a copy of Affections. "I'll stay here while you read it."

-----------((a few hours later))-------------

Demyx sighed and closed the book. Zexion looked over from his place on the computer chair, still in his boxers. "…Well?"

"…You named yourself Ignacio."

"….Shut up."

Demyx stood up and pulled Zexion close to him again. "Don't you have something you want to say to me?" he said, breathing slightly on Zexion's lips.

"I…I-"

"Oh come on, Iggy, don't get cold feet now."

"I love you Demyx."

Demyx grinned. "That's better. Now why don't we add a more…mature chapter to this book of yours…?"

Zexion chuckled. "It'll make it a bestseller I'm sure," he said, and closed the gap between them.

---------------------------

Goddamn. Long. Ass. Story. I tried for in character, but it seems less amazing than the other Zemyx's. The word count totally blows the other ones away. Seriously THAT one was craziness. CRAZINESS I tell you. And if this one doesn't make a high score I don't know what will.

Alright names: Follow along.

The Castle is The Realm

The Superior: The Captain

Ienzo sounds Spanish to me. XP

Vexen: After many thesaurus huntings, i came up with Evan which led to Ethan!

Axel is like a car axle, which means, boom, Ergo. Boone.

Demyx was a bitch to figure out. I couldn't find any male version of any name meaning music or anything. So I stuck with kind, and Jax appeared. :-P

Marly is Florian. (Flower.)

AND

Roxas is Chavez. (means key XD)

Alright I wont be on for a few weeks. Meaning two. Because there's a play going down at school, and good old Stage Crew Chief/Production Stage Manager has to live there.

Send me love!
