Song Drabble 13
You Can't Stop the Beat
Demyx grinned. This wing of the castle was empty. Nobody was around – the grin got bigger, that unexpected pun totally worked – it was the perfect time to indulge himself in his music.
Out came the sitar.
He tuned it absentmindedly, shuffling through the multitude of tunes in his mental musical library to find the one he really wanted to hear. He finally settled on one he'd heard a scant few days ago. Bumming around a world where music was the central form of entertainment really did have its perks.
"You can't stop the river," he started – he had an odd habit of beginning in the middle of a song, but really, why shouldn't he? – "As it rushes to the sea…"
He spun the sitar and began to dance along with the song that coursed through him, keeping quick time with a very infectious 4/4 beat. "I was lost 'til I heard the drums, then I found my way…"
Caught up in the music coursing through his body, he failed to notice he had company.
"But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in lo-"
Even absorbed in the music as he was, Demyx wasn't oblivious enough to miss the flaming chakram suddenly embedded in the wall inches from his face. He froze, then turned slowly to face an infuriated Axel standing almost a dozen yards away.
"Get it through your waterlogged head," he growled dangerously. "We. Don't. Have. Hearts." He recalled the chakram to his hand and stalked off to other parts, leaving heated air shimmering in his wake.
Demyx sighed disappointedly. Well, there went yet another song. Sooner or later, he vowed, he'd find something he could sing in the castle without getting himself killed.
Sooner or later.
