For Day 24 of the Kingdom Hearts 3 Countdown Challenge - Villains. Contains spoilers for one of the November trailers.
Demyx sighed. How he'd gotten caught up in all this mess again when all he really wanted to do was chill and jam out on his guitar, he'd never know.
Why did everyone keep asking him to do all the icky work? Especially people who had never given the time of day before.
Exhibit A: Vexen. He gave the cold scientist standing before him now a suspicious glance. The two of them had nothing in common. Nothing. Vexen was obsessed with his creepy experiments and worked way too hard for Demyx's tastes. He had probably never touched a musical instrument in his life, either, just his beakers and bottles and chemicals and lab coats.
"You really want my help?" Demyx asked, trying to figure out what Vexen was really getting at here. "I'm useless. I'm chicken. We're not friends. I can count the number of times you and I have hung out on one hand."
Vexen gave him an unreadable look. "You may be a bit… lax in your efforts, but you're hardly useless, Demyx."
"Yeah, well, I'd rather sit this one out."
Vexen raised his eyebrow. "And do what, strum away on that guitar of yours all by yourself? If it's friends you want, think of it this way: spending more time with me might result in us getting to know each other better."
"And why would I want that?"
"Because you need allies if not friends."
Well, Demyx couldn't really argue with that. If Vexen wanted to form their own little alliance, maybe it wouldn't be so bad. Yeah, they were both working for the same guy, but…
Demyx didn't have any particular loyalty to him. Talk about a creep. Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to join up with Vexen, at least for a little while.
"Okay, fine. Give me the details."
I always thought Demyx was an interesting guy and am looking forward to seeing him again in KH3.
Hope you enjoyed!
