Axel and Roxas stared at each other, waiting for someone to appear. Five minutes later, someone did.

"Hey! Sorry I'm late!" Demyx said, panting as if he ran the whole way. He was pretty athletic so him panting was a bit unnerving. "I brought Luxord," he said with a smile.

Axel and Roxas looked behind the other blonde to see a white-blonde man, scowling down at them. They smiled uneasily and watched as the two took a seat. Demyx sat next to Roxas and Luxord sat next to Axel, still glaring at the two already there.

"So… what'd I miss?"

"Us sitting here staring at each other, wondering where the hell you were!" Axel said.

"Oh, can it." Luxord growled at Axel, never being to fond of him.

Demyx beamed. "Isn't he so cute!"

Luxord then took the opportunity to snarl at Demyx about being "cute". As flattering as Demyx may have intended it, it wasn't flattering to the older man. He would have preferred being called "handsome" or "attractive" or something of the sort. But no. He was… the dreaded word. Cute.

Axel glanced nervously at Roxas, then the two looked at Demyx. "So… you got things worked out?" Axel asked.

"Is it true, Luxord, that you actually paid people to take pictures of Demyx? Or did you take them yourself?" Roxas asked hopefully.

Demyx reddened and looked at his Nobody. He had never considered him paying off other members. "Well?"

"I… It's none of your business."

"It's my business…" Demyx said, making Luxord face him.

Luxord couldn't help it. Demyx looked so sad and yet so cute. "I took them…"

"Ahem!" Axel said. "We are here to discuss how to make Xemnas miserable."

"I say we go through Saix. And you, Demyx? What do you think?"

Demyx sat there and thought about Roxas' statement. Going through Saix? "But that… that isn't right, Roxas. We aim to hurt Xemnas… not Saix. It'd be like if someone wanted to hurt me but hurt Luxord to do so. We can't do that… it isn't right to hurt his only loved one."

The other three stared at Demyx in shock. Had the blonde said something thoughtful for once? Luxord was touched by his words… well… if he could be touched by words without having a heart. Damn. He wanted that heart more than anything.

"Well… alright," Roxas said. "Let's just aim for Xemnas."

Luxord couldn't help but remain staring at Demyx as he smiled at being victorious about something or other. "Glad I could have an input!" he laughed.

Demyx turned and smiled at Luxord. The older man just turned away and looked at a nearby waitress. Demyx caught notice of this and started a low growl. Axel just inched his chair closer to Roxas in fear of what might happen between the two.

"Ahem."

Luxord ignored Demyx.

"Luxxy."

The man cringed at the name. It was almost as bad as cute.

"LUXORD!" Demyx screamed.

Axel and Roxas quietly stood up and inched away, farther and farther away they inched. Unfortunately, too slow. Demyx saw them and rose as well.

"Fine! I guess none of you Nobody's needs me, so I'll just be going. Apparently, Luxord is only good at stalking and my two friends just back off when I get mad rather than try and calm me down. I'll just ruin Xemnas myself."

Demyx stuck his nose up in the air and marched off down the street, away from the café and closer to the castle with each and every step.

Luxord turned to face Axel and Roxas as he rose and then chose to walk in the opposite direction as Demyx. Axel and Roxas became worried.

"Half hour and the two are already fighting as if they had hearts…" Roxas said.

Axel nodded, then smiled. "Wanna get some ice cream?"

"Vanilla?" Roxas said with great enthusiasm.

"Err… sure?" Truth was, Axel didn't like Vanilla. He preferred Strawberry. But anything for Roxas to make him happier while he still could be. Before he became a Somebody.

Roxas skipped off towards the ice cream parlor followed by a smiling Axel.

As the two finished their ice cream, Luxord appeared near them. He sat down at their table and looked away. "Do you think that I can be forgiven?"

"Takes a heart to forgive, doesn't it?" Roxas asked… again with the heart things.

Luxord looked at him. "I don't know…"

Axel sighed. "Psh, it's out little Demmy. He can't stay mad for long. Just offer to listen to his sitar and he'll be happy again. Always works for me and Roxas."

Roxas nodded and Luxord looked down. "I can't… unless I give it back. I won it from him in a card game."

"Which game?" the two asked.

"Go Fish."

Axel and Roxas looked at each other in horror. They knew Demyx had no luck what so ever… but Go Fish? Anyone could win that one, right?

Demyx sat in his room, looking at the pictures of him, wondering if it was possible to really love Luxord. The man was always rather short with him… but he was short with everyone… wasn't he? Demyx never paid that much attention to the others. All he cared about was Axel, Roxas, and Luxord. He hated Xemnas. All he did was rant about hearts.

They did so have hearts. They had to have hearts. How else could they live? Roxas and Axel loved each other, didn't they? They had to have hearts. It just made sense.

Saix just cared about Xemnas… so he must have had a heart to. Right?

Demyx fell back on his bed and sighed. "We do to have hearts…"

A knock sounded on his open door. He raised his head up and saw Luxord. "What?" he asked shortly.

Luxord entered and approached Demyx on the bed. "I came to tell you something…"

"Tell me and leave. You obviously just have a stalking relationship with me but really like girls that have hearts…"

"Together… we can get hearts. Just following Xemnas we can be made Somebody's. I promise. Just-"

"We already are Somebody's!" Demyx protested, letting his head relax on the bed again. "I just know it. How else can we love?"

Luxord sat on his fellow Nobody's bed. "Demyx…" he said quietly. "I wanted to ask you if… you'd… well…"

"No, Luxord! I will not make out with you!" Demyx said sitting up, placing his hands in between his legs.

The older blonde sighed. He had heard Demyx say that to just about everyone in the Organization… just never with a broad smile like he had now. Luxord then moved to sit right next to Demyx and whispered something in his ear.

Demyx blushed and looked at Luxord with wide eyes. "Yes… I will…" he said, followed by a hug initiated by Luxord.

"Just don't get mad at me again."
