Demyx POV:
I had instructed Yuffie to take care of Aerith and Kadaj for another week. She hadn't complained, however I spent an hour of Kadaj hanging off my neck, telling me he didn't want me to leave him. He still calls me mother though. Tammy had cleaned up the rest of the house when I got home, and then proceeded to make herself comfortable in the guest bedroom. I didn't object, instead, I had grabbed the sandwich she had on the table ready for me, and then ran back out the door.
Which brings me to where I currently am.
In a police station.
Attempting to decipher a code that's frustrating me to no ends.
Silver emperor way.
What could that mean!? I skipped to the next line:
Where tower touches the midday sun.
Hmm...So...That Could mean that there is a tower somewhere. But the closest tower is situated in the City, and I'll be damned if Pete managed to smuggle a massive bag through the guards at every entrance to the city.
Touches midday sun.
So...that Could mean one of two things.
A) There is a tower, that is only revealed when the sun touches it a exactly midday. The possibilities of that happening is low, very low.
B) There is a tower, that is named tower, but isn't exactly one. That way, it could be a house or something... Then something clicked.
"Leon....Is There a place in town called Emperor Way?" I asked. He nodded, not looking up from his work. His gun lay on the desk next to him, and I reminisced a time long before I had any inkling Zexion still loved me.
I had been watching Romeo and Juliet, and had burst out crying at various points. Of course, that was mainly because I kept thinking something like that happened between me and Zexion. Well, up to the Juliet trying to kill herself in front of the priest. Well, our love was forbidden, but only in my fathers eyes. And the churches... One of Axel's chakrams was laid on the desk, and my hand was itching towards it. Luckily, Roxas came in the room seconds later, and had proceeded to strangle me until I put the chakram down.
But back to the point.
"Could you take me there? I think I know where Zexion may be.." I asked him. Leon's head snapped up, his hand reaching for his gun.
"Yeah...Follow Me.." He led me through the police stations, turning corner after corner, until we exited out the back way.
"Um...Why-"
"Don't ask..." He growled, opening his car and motioning for me to get in. When the doors had shut, he locked them, driving out the station car park at top speed.
"Uh.."
"Someone is watching from the front. I don't know if it's for this case, or a different one...Either Way I don't like it." The angry tone in his voice made me ask no more questions, and we spent the ten minute drive in silence.
Stepping out of the car, the first thing I noticed was the smell. It absolutely reeked. How could this place actually be allowed to stand in the town I lived in?
The next thing I noticed was that all of the houses in the small Cul-De-sac were abandoned. Windows boarded up and doors kicked in.
The third thing I noticed was that all the houses in the street were brown bricked. All apart from one.
The closest and most battered looking house was silver.
Silver emperor way
I darted towards the house, Leon on my heels. He gripped my wrist as I entered the door.
"Hey kid! There could be someone potentially dangerous inside this house, and you just run in?!" He hissed Lowly.I cringed, nodding my head, before letting him lead the way.
We searched for hours.
No secret doors, no hidden rooms, no Zexion.
And then I had enough sense to look out the window.
A swimming pool. Underneath the water was a black solid looking thing. I pointed this out to Leon, and we made our way outside.
"I think we need to drain the pool" I said.
"How?" Leon asked me. I pointed to the machine in the corner of the back garden, under a canopy. Leon nodded, making his way over to it and draining the pool manually.
I stared at the crypt in the middle of the now empty pool. It resembled a Anderson shelter, only it was thick and metal, and painted fully black. Leon kicked the door open, and I flinched.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of the dark?" Leon asked me, raising an eyebrow. I shook my head, but memory's of living mummies flooded my brain. I remember entering a crypt similar to this. Stretched underground with no light whatsoever.
"Zexion could be in here..." Leon said quietly. At those words, I grabbed his police torch, switching it on and running down the stairs. It was too dark for me to see the full room with only one torch, but I smelt Zexy's scent the moment I got to the bottom of the stairs. As Leon opened the door at the top fully, Light flooded through the room.
One minute I was staring in shock at the man sat in the corner, ridiculously skinny and small, fear and shock etched across his face, terror in his eyes and cuts on his body, shaking violently and soaked to the bone.
Next minute I had my arms wrapped tightly around Zexion, inhaling deeply, burying my face into his hair.
"Z-Zexy!"
"D-Dem.." His arms wrapped weakly around my waist, his body still shaking very violently.
"Demyx...Come On...Let Go of him. He needs to go to a hospital" I heard Leon say behind me. I shook my head, tears falling down my face as I realized how weak Zexion was.
Zexion POV:
I knew he was hear before he opened the metal door. I could smell the sea and vanilla Ice cream. That, and Demyx talks rather loudly, loud enough to hear through a freaking reinforced door.
I didn't move from my corner. I was shaking from cold, I had attempted to open the door, and got immediately soaked. I was scared. Even if they did get me out of here, would I die from not being nourished? I hadn't eaten in three weeks, and the only water I'd had was chlorine.
So when Demyx had pulled me from my corner and into his arms, I just snuggled into his chest, glad of the warmth and security of the one I loved.
"Demyx...Come On, let go of him. He needs to go to a hospital." I heard someone say quietly. I wrapped my arms around him, before blackness clouded my vision. It seemed that the shock of seeing Demyx, mixed in with the overwhelming happiness I got from being in his arms, was not a good thing to combine.
Everything is white.
The walls.
The door.
The ceiling.
Even the bed sheets.
I look around the room for some color, and three things stand out.
Firstly, it is the cards on the window sill. One is neatly drawn, with Daddy on it. I assumed that was from Aerith. The second card is just scribbles of color, with words underneath. Under the purple blotch is Daddy. Under the blond blotch, is Mother. I fought to hold in a snicker.
The second color that stands out is black. Black written on paper, sat at the end of my bed.
Patient: Zexion Numara.
Diagnosis: Extreme case of shock, possible symptoms of pneumonia. Infected cuts on back and upper arms.
Days in hospital: five.
"Holy shit " I curse loudly. My voice is croaky.
I've been unconscious for five days?!
My eyes dart to the third piece of color, and I gasp.
It's Demyx, but he's not Demyx.
He's asleep, spread eagled across the small bed that's for family visitors. Dark circles stand out under his eyes, and his hair is dirty and hasn't been styled.
He's gotten thinner since I last saw him, and the way he's spread out just screams 'depression'.
I can't look at him anymore, without an insane urge to jump out of the bed and snuggle up with him, so I turn on my side, facing the opposite wall. A sharp pain constricts through me, as the IV in my hand snaps. Oops. I Ignored the sharp pains until they disappeared, and just lay on my side until Demyx woke up.
I was discharged from hospital three days later. I was going to see my kids tomorrow. But now, right now, I was with Demyx.
My back was pressed up against his chest. His arms were wrapped tightly around my body, one of my hands in his, both of us laying on the couch. The TV was on, but even I knew that none of us were watching it. We were just laying there, perfectly content with just being in the others arms. I rolled my head back, kissing under his jaw line. I was vaguely aware of him playing with my fingers, but I froze in shock when cool metal ran over my ring finger on my left hand. He moved his head to ghost his lips over my ear.
"I've been wanting to ask you this for months. So now I will, in just two words....Marry Me?"
A tenth of a second I laid in shock.
A quarter of a second it took for me to spin around in my previous position, to face him. He looked down, eyes showing unconditional love, desperation and need. By now, my insides were bursting with joy, happiness and relief, aswell as need and want. I grabbed a fistful of his shirt, pulling him even closer, and pressed my mouth against his in a soft kiss, my teeth gently nipping his bottom lip. I felt him smirk against my lips, and he pulled back, looking back down at me.
"Is that a yes?"
"Of course it is" I whispered quickly, pulling his his head closer, locking our lips once more.
A/N:
Okay, there we go. Thats the end of I Can't Lose You Again.
Sorry the story in itself is short.
But I'l be posting another story shortly. It's a Zemyx, but is not related to this in anyway. TimexHasxGone helped me think of it during a maths lesson.
Oh yeah...Check out her Zemyx story! It's cool and Sweet!!
