Prompt:
:: No Hearts? What does that mean::
"So kid, you get everything that's going on?"
"…"
"Kid?"
He made no sound, except barely audible whimpers that only those with trained ears could hear. Yet it didn't surprise Number II. The man had a feeling that this member particularly would be remembering 'fright'. The boy who sat just before him still looked like he was in his mid to upper teens, quite surprising since most of the Organization's members are far older. He had wide, frightened jade green eyes and messy sandy blonde hair, fixed into some bizarre hairstyle Xigbar couldn't even begin to describe. The boy was trembling faintly as well.
Kneeling down, the man placed himself at eye level with Number IX. "Demyx." He spoke softly, in a comforting tone. In response, the younger looked directly at him. "Do you understand what is going on here?"
"…No Hearts."
"Eh?"
"No Hearts…" he seemed like he was pressing the words forth, forcing them into open air, "What does that mean?"
A sigh on the elder's part. This was always a hard question to answer. An even harder one to understand.
"Demyx…it means we're marked."
"Marked?" Those innocent eyes were almost too much for The Freeshooter. Almost.
"Yeah. We're marked."
"As what?"
"…as Nothings."

Aww…they're nothing. :(
This prompt wasn't inspired by a particular image, other than Demyx and Xigbar having a talk. It's really sad…I mean, YOU tell Demyx that he's a nothing! See if that makes your day. XP
