(Cute and short chapter, which is odd, because my dog just died yesterday.
Yep. We had to put her to sleep; she was thirteen and had gone blind, deaf, and couldn't even stand. But she was a good dog and I loved her more than anyone else in my family, and she was the only one who really loved me in my house, so I'll miss her. She was a great dog and I love her, so this chapter is all for her. I hope since it's happy that's a good blessing. :3
Xigbar's too sweet to Xaldin sometimes. I couldn't help but want to cuddle him for this. xD
One word, Xeh; COCKBLOCK. /shot/
This is all Peggy's nefarious doing. Every time someone gets cockblocked in KH=all her fault.
Haha that's mostly it. It'll be cute chapters from here on out, but for how long~? Not even I know...mostly because I have to see where I end the chapters. I FAIL AT PACING. /shot/
Uhhh yeah that's it. :3
Don't own Kingdom Hearts.
Dedicated to Tasha once more. RIP babe.)
Demyx had fallen asleep soon afterwards, exhausted from telling his tale and being kissed beyond oblivion. Xigbar watched over him, a small smile on his lips as he played with the loose strands of Demyx's hair. His Demyx. His beautiful, wonderful, perfect Demyx. He was still trying to sort it all out, but what he did know right now was that he was never leaving Demyx's side, and he was good with that.
Just as he prepared to lie down next to Demyx and fall asleep beside his kitten, he heard a soft knock on the door. He sighed, yawning as he whispered, "Come in, but be quiet; Dem's asleep."
Xaldin opened the door and crept in, taking care not to disturb Demyx as he watched Xigbar. He sat up in bed and looked at his friend, who looked haggard and strained all of a sudden. "You okay, Dilan?" He murmured. Xaldin shook his head.
"No...but that can wait a minute. Is he...did you..." He gestured to Demyx. Xigbar grinned.
"Yeah. He's mine now. I didn't take advantage of him, if that's what you were thinking; I want to save it for awhile. He just...he told me he loved me. It's really the only time I've been told that properly...well, aside from all the times you and teacher all said it, but that's different, isn't it?" He murmured. Xaldin sighed.
"Yes. It is." He whispered. Xigbar tilted his head, gesturing for Xaldin to come over and sit. He sighed, sinking into a chair and shaking his head. "Lord above, Xigbar, I just...seem to be feeling very lost, lately." He murmured. "This might seem like an odd question to ask, but tell me; what do you see when you look at me?" He looked up to meet Xigbar's eyes, and Xigbar couldn't help but feel the stunning amount of hopeless resignment in them. He sighed, tugging gently on one of Xaldin's braids, doing his best to give him a smile.
"I see my kid brother who talks like a dictionary that grew sideburns. I see a man who worked his ass off to be able to stand as a member of teacher's guard. I see a stubborn, determined, eloquent, manipulative, and altogether clever man who I'm proud to call a brother, a colleague, and a fellow scientist. I love you, Dilan. Love you like I always did, heart or not. What brought this on?" He asked, watching him carefully for a reaction. Xaldin shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose and biting his lip.
"And what, Braig, do you think others see when they look at me?" He murmured. Xigbar blinked, stunned.
"Shit, that's what brought this on? Ohhh. Oh. Fuck, Xal. Just...c'mere, kay?" He said, letting Xaldin lay his head against his shoulder. He could feel the lancer shaking against him, and Xigbar sighed, undoing his braids for him. "Can't sleep with those fuckers in, you know that." He scolded him, hearing a small rumble of laughter from his throat. "Look, Xaldin, of course they're going to be scared when they see you. Christ, they should be; you're strong, and you know how to not only hold your own in a fight, but how to hold about a hundred other mens' own, too." He teased. Xaldin nodded.
"I know, Xigbar. That's not it. What is the problem here is something else; you know I've never..." He trailed off. "Well, the point remains, I have never been sought out by another for affection. Romantic or carnal. And seeing you...even now, after all that we are...with Demyx..." He sighed. "I just ache. I'm sorry, Xigbar, I shouldn't have-" As Xaldin stood to leave, Xigbar grabbed his single braid left in, yanking him back.
"Shut up, Xal." He snapped, rolling his eyes in amused disgust. "Honestly, listen to you. Like I'm not going to be here for you when you need me. Tch, as if." He muttered, genuine affection in his words as Xaldin couldn't help but smile. "Look, trust me on this; shit's gonna start coming together now. We're adjusting to this life, all of us. It's only a matter of time before everything works out, okay?" He promised. Xaldin nodded, squeezing his hand.
"Yes. Thank you, Xigbar. I'll be all right." He murmured. "See you in the morning." Xaldin disappeared into the darkness without another word. Xigbar sighed, rolling his eyes and smirking.
"Honestly, he's so hopeless sometimes, eh, kitten?" He asked. Demyx slept on, a soft, mewling snore his only reply. Xigbar shook his head, laughing quietly as he laid down and pulled Demyx close, finally letting himself fall asleep against his lover.
Xemnas rolled out of bed the next morning with an unceremonious thud. The Superior swore, sitting up to realize his pup had spread out across the bed in the night, whimpering and growling, even in his sleep. Xemnas rolled his eyes, standing up and going over to him. Saix had apparently dreamt of some sort of hunt; the sheets were wrapped around him as he hissed with some sort of...pleasure? Was that...a moan?
Xemnas stayed where he was, breath quiet and husky, trying not to wake Saix up. Saix was now happily mewling, arching his back and clutching the sheets. "Mmh...m-master..." He whispered. "My Superior...oh, oh, Lord Xemnas..."
Xemnas' eyes got wide. Oh good lord above, that dream was not what he thought it was. No, it couldn't be. Saix probably wasn't even entirely sure of what sex was. But Saix was writhing on the bed still, whimpering and mewling as he panted with ecstasy. Xemnas swallowed, still watching his pet begging for attention of some sort...from him. From his master. Oh lord.
"Superior...yes, yes like that, oh, oh my master, oh my lord, my god, my everything...please...I need..." Saix was mewling and whimpering again, hips rising up off the bed as he pleaded with whatever enraptured him in his dreams. Xemnas couldn't help but speak now, self control gone.
"What, my pet?" Xemnas whispered. "What is it that you need?" His voice was low, seductive, heavy with affection, need, and desperate longing. Saix moaned once more.
"Need...need my c-coffee, Superior. I'm just very out of it this morning." Saix said, sitting up in bed and yawning. "Forgive me...I was interrupted by a strange dream last night, and I didn't get much sleep because of it." He stood, getting out of bed and getting dressed, not noticing Xemnas walk outside very quietly and solemnly until he heard a harsh banging sound. Saix jumped, turning around to see Xemnas slamming his head against the wall.
"Superior! What is the meaning of this!" Saix yelped, tugging Xemnas away from the wall as his Superior roared with frustration, insensible with some sort of anger as he tried to gather himself enough not to dart for the wall again.
"Nothing, Saix. Absolutely nothing." He told his worried pet, yanking his coat on and storming down the hall. "And that's half the damned problem." He muttered darkly, hearing Saix follow him downstairs for his coffee.
