a/n: My Zemyx yaoi for Shadow ShiningPalm...stayed up so late to finish it...

I was SOOOOO tempted to do Demyx/Namine, but I'm trying to do more yaoi for the sake of my readers...


Oats

Zexion's eye twitched irritably, snapping the pencil he held in half.

'There goes that sound again…'

The sound of Demyx's sitar echoed through the halls, once in a while, he would pause halfway his song and tuned his sitar, much to Zexion's annoyance.

"Demyx, would you mind stopping that infernal racket?"

From outside, Demyx sighed and refrained from playing the sitar.

'But don't you like it…?' he thought, 'after all, I did make it for you…'

That night, Zexion was staying up late again, scribbling down notes of his research in the thin leather book of his when he heard Demyx's sitar again. But this time, instead of yelling at the musician again, he put down his pen and listened.

It was so haunting…yet so beautiful…

He closed his eyes, listening to the alluring notes lull him gently, slowly falling into a gentle slumber.

But just as the song was about to end, the notes stopped, followed by Demyx's sigh of lament,

"Nearly forgot…"

The door creaked open, Demyx entered, hanging his head sadly.

"Sorry, forgot you didn't want to be disturbed."

The door slowly closed,

"Wait."

Demyx paused, "huh?"

"Play that song again."

The musician's eyes widened, "what?"

"Play that song…" Zexion turned to face the musician; a small, awkward smile flitted onto his face,

"…it's nice."


a/n: the meaning of oats is a lovely one: the bewitching sound of music...

...me go sleep now...
