OK, first off, I do not claim to own or to have written these lyrics. They're made by all those spiffy people associated with Kelly Clarkson and whatnot. I also don't own the KH characters, etc etc.

I'm not really that big of a Demyx/anybody fan. Except for friendship with Axel. That's totally canon. :O But I liked this idea...


It's like you're a drug

It's like you're a demon I can't face down

It's like I'm stuck

It's like I'm running from you all the time

Demyx stared at the simple picture of the three. Him, Axel, and Roxas. Roxas. That damn kid, he thought. He was never truly comfortable around him. He always made his "heart" beat faster, his mind race. Ever since he had come to the Organization, things hadn't been the same with Axel. Their friendship was slowly disappearing, while the friendship with Roxas was growing every day.

"Why don't you just give him a chance, dude?"

"Axel, he's just a kid! That's…lame!"

"What, are you jealous?"

And I know I let you

Have all the power

It's like the only company is I seek

Is misery all around

So Demyx had pushed Roxas away. He was cold to him, except for when Axel was around, and when he was, Demyx always tried not to speak to the boy.

He had nothing to say. Why fight a battle you've already lost?

It's like you're a leach

Sucking the life from me

It's like I can't breathe

Without you inside of me

Demyx was slowly losing a hold of his emotions. Without Axel, he was forgetting what it felt like to be happy. It seemed like all he could think about now was how he could rid himself of Roxas. Roxas.

And I know I let you

Have all the power

And I realize I'm never gonna

Quit you over time

A strained gasp clawed its way up his throat.

Had Roxas become his new obsession?

Had Roxas taken the place where Axel had once been?

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interrupting me

In my thought, in my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me, it's like I'm not me…

It was late at night. Demyx glanced over at the empty bed across the room. Once again, Axel was somewhere with Roxas. Once again, he was left to another night of loneliness. How long would this go on?

It's like I'm lost

It's like I'm giving up slowly

It's like you're a ghost

That's haunting me

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Demyx screamed to cold air. The outburst brought an icy chill over his body. He got up out of bed, glancing out the window. That was a mistake.

Below in moonlit courtyard were Axel and Roxas, casually walking and chatting. Like old friends.

Where he had once been.

And I know these voices in

My head are mine alone

And I know I'll never change my ways

If I don't give you up now

Roxas. It was all his fault. He shifted far away from the glaring moonlight, sliding down into dark shadows plastered on the wall.

Why was he thinking of him so much?

It wasn't Roxas he wanted. Demyx wanted Axel. Roxas was taking that from him. Roxas needed to disappear. Then, everything would be back to normal. Then, he could be happy.

Or could he?

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interrupting me

In my thought, in my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me, it's like I'm not me…

Some time later Axel returned to the room. The eerie black shadows of midnight were now replaced by deep, sorrowful purples of an early sunrise.

"Demyx?"

Suddenly, a forceful slam pushed Axel back into the closed door.

I'm hooked on you

I need a fix, I can't take it

Just one more hit

I promise I can deal with it

"…Demyx…what are you-----"

Silent tears poured down Demyx's face. He shook with sobs, staring deep into Axel's eyes. Searching.

Sorrowful lips pressed strongly onto Axel's. Searching.

Searching for the answer.

I'll handle it, quit it

Just one more time, then that's it

Just a little bit more to get me through this

But it wasn't there.

"Roxas…" The name came tumbling out through strained sobs and shook his mind, body, and soul. Cradling arms reached out to hold him, but Demyx tore them away and ran from the room.

It's like I can't breathe

It's like I can't see anything

Nothing but you

I'm addicted to you

It's like I can't think

Without you interrupting me

In my thoughts, in my dreams

You've taken over me

It's like I'm not me…

It's like I'm not me…
