Everyone in the Organization was full of surprises; good ones, bad ones, awkward ones - all surprises nonetheless. Some of them were almost expected, but still a little weird to see play out in reality. Like Axel knowing how to play the drums, Xigbar owning a tie-die shirt and more than one "Grateful Dead" album, or Roxas being almost as in love with the water as Demyx himself. They were things one might have considered with them, but never made it a fact.
Demyx had a penchant for finding out everyone's secret vice or talent either because he was so noisy or because he just needed another hobby. Or maybe because he was just so damned good at walking in on just the right moment.
Like the time he busted down Luxord's door as he was reading a book of Shakespearean poetry aloud. And with a perfect accent. And frilly clothes on. If there had ever been a way to die from a paper cut, Demyx might have found it if he hadn't run away from the cards so fast.
And that one incident where Demyx had walked into Lexaeus's room looking for Zexion (sometimes they played chess together, or so Zexion had told him once) and instead found him singing something Demyx recognized from "The Phantom of the Opera", and singing it beautifully. Luckily for him, the Silent Hero didn't notice the boy come in and continued until the end. When Demyx started to applaud, it was another surprise that Lexaeus turned around and gave the intruder a small smile, bowing graciously.
Still, the reactions he received from everyone else resembled Luxord's more; Marluxia threatened him with his plants as the boy's wide eyes took in the sight of number eleven in pumps and tights, Larxene screaming and throwing knives at Demyx's retreating back after he caught her lovingly hug a stuffed bear, Xaldin tossing his ginsus after he realized Demyx was reading a draft of a romance novel he wasn't writing. Even Zexion had forcibly thrown Demyx out of the lab when he had remarked that the sketchbook filled with wonderful renditions of people and buildings didn't resemble Naminé's style.
But easily the worst surprise happened the one (and only one) time he went to the Superior's office late. He heard a few strange sounds and Xemnas's voice groan out something that suspiciously sounded like "Saïx". Demyx's face drained of color and he ran away, praying that no one in that room had heard him.
It was the morning after when Saïx gave him a glare and Xemnas ordered the boy to report to his quarters later Demyx realized, with a whimper, that the gods hated him.
