Zexion squirmed uncomfortably as he tried- and failed- to sleep. Not that he was afraid of anything. Of course not. He just kept imagining things that weren't there. Silly, really. But still, they weren't exactly pleasant and highly reminiscent of that horrible game Xigbar had been playing. And they seemed to be moving toward him. He squeaked and dove his head under the covers.
Demyx was sneaking back to his room, snack in hand. That was weird. Zexy's light was still on. The little Nobody never had his room that bright.
"Zexy?" He poked his mullet in. No sign of Zexion, unless that lump in the bed was him.
Zexion had frozen when he heard footsteps. He curled tighter under the blanket in an attempt to make himself smaller. Unknowingly, he'd grabbed hold of the plushie Demyx had given him. He gripped it tighter when he heard the nasally voice, fear making it unrecognizable. The monsters were coming to get him!
Demyx pulled back the star-bedecked blanket to reveal a small, cobalt head, attached to the body of a shaking teen. "Um, are you ok?" He was answered with a muffled whine. There was only one thing Demyx could do. Try to make him feel better. So the Nocturne wrapped a lanky arm around Zexion. The smaller boy stiffened, taken aback by being held. This wasn't working too well. And Zexion's book filled, not very colorful room was making him uncomfortable. "Hey, Zexy? Why don't we go back to my room and you can tell me what happened." Demyx helped the terrified Nobody out of bed and grinned upon seeing what was in the boy's arms. "You still have Steven!" Yes, Demyx had named the little doll. He knew Zexion wouldn't. "Oh, right, my room."
Zexion still seemed stuck to the spot so Demyx scooped him up easily. The blue-haired one fidgeted a bit, but didn't put up much of a fight.
"You just relax," Demyx set the little schemer down on the bed and lay back next to him. Next thing he knew, thin arms were wrapped around him. Zexion gave a slight sniffle.
"Bad dream?" Dem frowned down at the other, who merely nodded. Poor kid, Demyx hugged Zexion closer to him. The pair remained like this for a while and eventually Zexion fell silent and stopped shaking. He'd finally gotten back to sleep.
