Notions

III. Notions on Routine Solutions

Zexion had been weary of asking Demyx to help him. So he followed his gut instinct and chose not to. Like always, his calculations were right. He didn't need to initiate anything. Demyx came of his own free will. All Zexion had to do was try to get some peace and quiet, and like magic, Demyx would come looking for him. It was almost very routine for them at this point.

Demyx would practically bounce over to Zexion, who was sitting in the library, pretending to concentrate on his latest studies. But his latest studies were more interested in the boy coming at him. He tried to act normal. Zexion turned another page without looking up, and apparently Demyx didn't know that it had only been seconds since the last page turn, because he just kept going as usual.

"Hey Zexy!" he said pulling up a chair and sitting next to Zexion, who feigned annoyance. Well, he really didn't have to try too hard. Everyone knew his hatred for Demyx's little pet-name. Demyx didn't stop there. He was practically in Zexion's face, glancing at the book with vague curiosity and a huge grin on his face. "What'cha readin'?" he asked curiously, inching closer.

Zexion snapped the book shut suddenly, and put his face right next to Demyx's so that they were hardly an inch apart. "Never mind that. I have something to ask you." Now, bewildered didn't even come close to Demyx's reaction. It was very unlike Zexion to talk back to him unless it was something pessimistic, or just plain telling him to go away.

Demyx was practically dragged to Zexion's room. Now, he had never been in there before, and he felt privileged. Zexion never got close to anyone like that. Neither Vexen or Luxaeus had seen his room before, and they were considered his 'friends'. As soon as he was thrown inside, Zexion looked around to make sure no one saw and then hurried inside himself.

Now Demyx was looking around with interest. It wasn't all black... lilac, too... kinda like his hair looked sometimes, when in the right light. Zexion wasted no time – he pulled Demyx close and began to whisper in his ear. "Now listen close... I'm doing an experiment... and you, are my test subject. I heard you the other day... when you were playing... so let's get this straight... I have some notions about this, and I bet you do too... let's compare them and see where it gets us..."

Yay! Now Zexy and Demyx are a team. Another chapter added. I hope you like it. Continue reading and reviewing! Cookies in the Review Lounge! Enjoy them. I made them myself!
