No. XIII - Organisation XIII
[Chapter 14. Confusion]
[In the middle of darkness and light, the shadows of both lay.
The shadows, the midst of the extremes-
They lurk in the most unexpected places at the most unexpected times,
And they reign with the mystery and power,
The shadows call themselves-
Organisation XIII.]

"Wait, Vexen! Wait! What did you mean- He's already gone! Argh!"
Demyx cursed quietly, something which wan't really common thing to witness. On the other hand, Roxas crossed his arms and held Demyx, speaking quietly.
"...Who was that, Demyx? ...He called you IX, and he said XIII wants to see you.. Alias?"
"We-well, something like that.. He- Vexen is a scientist, so he has.. He has a wierd sense of naming others!"
"..."
Damn. Demyx cursed inwardly. Who would buy this lame excuse? And Roxas wasn't exactly dumb either.. However, after ten seconds of considering, Roxas shook his head and changed the subject.
"...What was that about, traitors? ...He said tomorrow night, usual place, usual time.."
"...Wait.. Tomorrow? Yes.. He said tomorrow! No way, that means I have to leave tonight to reach there.. And without telling the others.. What the hell should I say to Marluxia? I am living with him! Marly is good in reading others!"
"...Huh-uh.. ...Well, Dem, if you need anything, call me. I don't think he meant to hide things from me.. ...Well, and if you really need it.. I will tell Marly that you are staying with me tonight and tomorrow. I don't think you are backing out.. I want to stop you, but.. It seemed important."
"...Thanks, Roxas. I mean.. Well, you know, being an orphan, what I did in the past.. ..Can't say I never missed it. It was so tiresome, so many works and all, but I was with the others similar to me.. I am still with Zexion, but.. We don't talk about those times anymore..."
"..."
Zexion, hm? Roxas smirked, looking at Demyx who was deep in thoughts. Demyx was busy pondering about this meeting and hence completely missed cynical smile on Roxas's face. Well, Demyx was something. While none of the others show any indications about their past, Demyx showed quite a plenty.. And being a Nobody, though all others seemed to neglect it due to his faked personality- inability of hiding something wasn't just an inability. It was a sign that he wanted to go back, wish to let someone else figure out and force him back to past, because he can't do that without an excuse for Zexion, Axel and Marluxia.
Taking out his phone, Roxas called Axel and waited for reply. It was quick.
[Hello, Roxas? So you remembered my phone number, hm?]
"Axel... Um.. Actually, Demyx wants to go and see my chocobo so much, so I agreed to go with him today.."
[...What? Today? But you said that it's close to Hollow Bastion-]
Roxas could picture Axel jumping up now. From what he could hear, Axel was at some shopping mall, with Zexion and Marluxia. Good. Roxas continued, sounding trying to sound less serious. I won't need to call them seperately.
"Yes, it will take at least two days.. Can you tell Marluxia and Zexion?"
[But-]
"Aww, Axel! Don't be mean! Let me borrow Roxas for a while, huh?"
"De-Demyx..!"
[Demyx, what about your studies and-]
"Roxas already submitted all his due works, so no prob! And me, you know professor loves me-"
[Demyx!]
"Don't be mean! You know I won't do anything to Rox, he is so cute!"
Well, it was already showing where it was going. After a long-ten-minutes-talk, Demyx cheered and Axel groaned over the phone. However, as Demyx handed over his phone to Roxas, he quietly nodded, his expression grateful. He didn't expect Roxas to miss two days just for him. After a quick talk with Axel, Roxas closed his phone and spoke.
"Don't think anything ridiculous, Dem. I also needed to go somewhere anyway, and I had to make an excuse. It happened to be Hollow Bastion, and so I lied. Where are you going, anyway? There's no other place than Hollow Bastion in a day's travel."
"...Yeah, I am going to Hollow Bastion too. Um, hey, Roxas, when are you leaving?"
"...Actually, as soon as possible. When are you leaving? If you are willing, I can take you there. ...Don't tell anyone, but I already have a record. Arrived at Hollow Bastion in two hours."
"...Two? But that's... It takes 12 hours in general!"
"I know some shortcuts, and I drive like a maniac, according to my elder brother. You know Sephiroth, right? He called me a maniac."
"..."
Demyx rolled his eyes, pondering at the statement. Well, this offer did sound good, and he did want sometime to look around.. Usual time meant 0000, at Where Nothing Gathers, which would leave him a plenty time to look around. But.. After a short consideration, Demyx grinned and answered cheerfully.
"Alright! I will bring my things- when can we meet?"
"Do you mind meeting me at Nineth Prison? Wait me there, or I will wait you there at the bar. Oh, don't tell the others about what I do there, okay?"
"It's a deal! You don't tell the others about this too, right, Roxas?"
"...Of course. See you, then."
Roxas smiled shyly and walked off. As soon as Roxas was out of his sight, Demyx headed towards his place where he shared with Marluxia. He just packed his Organisation XIII cloak and a bit of munny and gils. Since the day the three worlds collided with each other and formed a new world, they had quite a lot of troubles with currencies.. Or that's what he heard. But it wasn't his concern now, because it somehow settled up to use both.
After changing his cloth and taking his Sitar, Arpeggio, Demyx quickly headed to Nineth Prison. He did wonder a bit, though- this place wasn't for kids, or shy or good people like Roxas. First, it was quite deep in back streets, and second, it was a very famous bar. Anyone related to those business knew that it belonged to the Turks, and Demyx knew it too- He knew it ever since he was back in Hollow Bastion, still working as a member of Organisation XIII.
So obviously, he dropped his jaw when he saw Roxas in leathery cloth, looking way too cool and hot for normal good and shy Roxas, flirting some customers and mixing drinks for them. And a redhead wearing Turk suit was sitting right besides him, evidently playing cards- Well, who the hell is that? was a natural question which appeared in his mind. Thankfully, the Turk noticed him quickly enough and called Roxas by surname.
"Yo, Safer! Your friend! I thought you didn't want your public friends to know that you were working here.. You invited him?"
"You called me, Reno? ..Oh, Dem! Sorry if I surprised you. I don't really look like myself, huh? Well, wait a sec- I am only working 3 hours today, meaning it will be over in 20 minutes."
"Hell yeah, you act more like an owner than a worker, Safer. Can't blame ya for that, 'cuz you are actually our guest, but fuck- Your drinks are good, pal- One more, please?"
"Sure, why not? Dem, take a sit."
Roxas shrugged, and quickly handed over a glass to Reno. After quickly shaking off another female customer who was trying to flirt him, Roxas sat near Reno and Demyx and complained.
"Man- Reno, is it that hard to see that I am not straight? I am tired of those women trying to get me inside their pants- shit. Raise 500?"
"Yo, Safer, you are just too cool to be ignored.. And hot. Sure, call. Open?"
"Open. Flush."
"...Damn it. You are too good in this. Alright, alright, take all. You meanie."
Reno glared at Roxas once, but Roxas just chuckled. Turning to amused Demyx, Roxas grinned and spoke casually.
"Do I look strange? I never invited anyone in my working place or told them about my jobs. I mean, I don't really look like this in the university, do I?"
"..No. On the first day, you said that you were looking for jobs.. Was it this?"
"Yeah, this one. I first thought of some shops at streets, but I ended up here, just like what I used to do at Hollow Bastion.. Oh, don't tell Sora or Riku, okay? They really don't know."
"Well, okay...?"
Demyx took a sip from the glass Roxas handed over, unsure of himself. Sure, he understood that much.. But it was quite unexpected. What would Axel do when he sees Roxas like this? Imagining, Demyx chuckled, looking quite devilish. On contrary, Reno wondered and asked.
"Hey, wha'sup, yo? Something funny?"
"Oh, well.. Yeah.. My friend has a crush on Roxas, and I was thinking of his reaction when he sees Roxas like this.. One day he was talking to himself that he should restrain himself and Roxas is just too innocent for those stuff, and if he sees him like this, *chuckle*.."
Demyx laughed, imagining it. Yes, he could picture it nicely. Axel's jaw will drop first, and he will just stare at Roxas forever- he was already doing that ever since they met, and if Roxas looks that cool and hot in front of him... Well, but Demyx did see some troublesome thing. Roxas was actually flirting with some customers, and if Axel saw that, well.. He would be quite uncomfortable. But, Demyx thought, as long as he doesn't jump on someone, it would be fun to watch, again.
It took exactly 25 minutes for Roxas to finish his work, clean up, and hand over the duty to another brown haired man. After a quick chat, Roxas casually sat beside Demyx and initiated a talk with Reno.
"Well, so where was I before?"
"You said you wanna take a leave, 'cuz y'need to be at Hollow Bastion, love. Wha'cha have there? Jenova's work, again?"
"Something related to it. Do you need anything? If you want, I can do a short delivery work or something like that. I have some free time, after all."
"Na, I don't need anything. But send my regards to boss and my partner, man. Those Avalanche bastards.. What a way to be shot at."
The redhead grunted, looking annoyed. To Demyx's dismay, Roxas smirked and gave him a shove at shoulder, which made him cringe.
"Ouch, Safer!"
"Well, stupid pal, I think it was purely your mistake of taking your work easy. Why did you play with that thing, anyway? No wonder you lost your way and got a shot from them. Just think you are damn lucky that you are not dead yet, you were shot by one of the best gunner in the Turk history."
"...Damn you, Safer.. But you are right, well.. Vincent Valentine was one of the best Turks.. Really, wonder what made him betray us.. And thanks to whatever was with the bullet, I can't use magic to heal it, Shit. Hey, Safer? When you meet your brothers, ask them about this, will'ya?"
"My pleasure. I am a guest for the Turks, after all. We have an agreement between us."
Roxas shrugged again, looking casual. Smiling, Roxas winked at Demyx and left the bar. However, before Damyx could follow Roxas, Reno called Demyx from behind.
"Yo, you're Demyx, right? Seen you with Safer in Twilight University before, yo."
"..You were stalking?"
"Nah, just a normal safety measure for our co-worker. I am warning you now, though. Watch your back when you are with Safer, he is a scary guy. He knows his way around, and he isn't working with us for nothing. From our records, he was supposed to be recruited as one of the most promising Turk materials- But no, that request for allowance to recruit him was rejected by higher-ups, directly by the president. He was one of the unofficial employees of Shinra.. He was, and now he isn't. I don't know how he managed that. Either higher-ups are lying, even to me, one of the executives in the Turks, or Roxas Safer is someone who is dangerous enough for Shinra to decide that it is unwise to make him do something against his will."
"..."
Demyx didn't reply and just left the bar.
XIV . ii
Outside Nineth Prison, Roxas was waiting him with a motorcycle which now become familiar to him. However, there was something else.. Roxas was arguing with someone over his phone, clearly irritated.
"Damn it, cut it out! Stop joking and tell me what exactly happened! Why can't I go there and see? Just because I am not really one of you doesn't mean that I am not a member of Jenova! Official or un-official, you can't possibly do this to me! ...Studies? Screw it, brother- Let me talk to Kadaj, now. As long as you are my brother, that makes him my brother as well, so let me talk."
It sounded wierd, how Roxas snarled. It sounded vicious.. But somehow at the same time, it sounded so harmless. From how Roxas relaxed, he must have got what he want. With much softer voice, Roxas cooed.
"...Okay, Kadaj, I see.. No, just rest for now, nothing to worry. I was just a bit angry with Seph. Yeah.. Hm? No, no, nothing's wrong with me, I'll be there in 4 hours."
[...NO! Don't do that again!] Demyx winced as he heard a hysterical shout, desperate. He could swear that the voice was heard from Roxas's phone, but Roxas just hummed it off.
"What? I couldn't hear what you said well, brother. Good Shiva, look at the time! I should be starting right now- See you there!"
Click. Roxas just closed his phone. It made Demyx feel uncomfortable.. Whoever Kadaj was, he screamed at Roxas to not to do it, right? But Roxas waved at Demyx, telling him to sit behind him. Demyx didn't like the position much, but still.. Demyx just took the place, thinking that he shouldn't waste any more time... Really, he didn't know what to expect at the time.
XIV . iii
...It was terrifying. How on earth-... Demyx paled just to think about the ride Roxas gave him. Sure, it was fast, but Demyx never imagined that Roxas's shortcut would be a direct route throughout a monster appearing zone at full speed. More than once, Demyx had to keep his urge to use his Arpeggio, but Roxas was quick enough to overrun them.. Except on one occuation when Roxas actually did a body-slam at full speed by his motorcycle. That motorcycle, Huginn, was a monster. He would never forget how it bashed a werewolf's head.. And making it-.. Demyx shuddered at the memory.
Anyway, Roxas dropped him off at his old home, promising that he would return to pick him up the day after tomorrow, 0900. Then he headed towards deep into the slums. From how everyone backed off at sight of Roxas, it was clear that everyone knew who he was. Sighing once, Demyx easily saw one of his old friends at his high school. His friend, looking somewhat stunned, was staring at him. Funny, Demyx thought, Shelke isn't a type to be in shock easily. But soon, she rushed towards Demyx and almost screamed at him.
"Demyx! How do you know Huginn! Of Jenova! Jenova is not safe and-"
"Wait, wait, wait! Easy, Shelke! I am not doing anythinng! What the heck is Jenova? He is just one of my juniors in Twilight University! And Huginn, that's his motorcycle's name, right? What's wrong?"
"Your junior!"
Shelke gasped. Alright, something is wrong. Demyx just thought, sighing. What kind of life did Roxas have and everyone was shocked to see him? But as Shelke took a few moments to swallow the information, she shook her head and murmured.
"That explains recent incidents.. With Huginn gone, Muninn and others are not strong enough to stop Odin.. Huginn always acted as the collar."
"...What are you talking about, Shelke?"
"..Huh? Ah, you don't know.. Because you left three years ago before it started. You remember the Organisation XIII was gone three years ago, right?"
"...Yeah, it was a big deal."
"Well, after they were gone, Jenova, an organisation consists of five members started to rise. You know, at the Northest of the slums, there is a house no one dared to go? Even Organisation XIII didn't do anything there. Jenova's members were living there."
Demyx stared at Shelke. Okay, now he knew something was wrong for sure. That place was a place Xemnas himself requested all Organisation XIII members to stay away unless they wanted to be ripped apart into pieces. Now, if that was Jenova's base, that meant-
His thoughts were cut off by Shelke who continued her words.
"After the Organisation was gone, they quickly took the Organisation's place. On contrary, they didn't do anything like Organisation XIII. It almost feels like.. They are just taking care of things while real owner is gone.. That also explains how strong they are and how they remained silent for years. But we don't know who they are. Odin, the leader of their group, always has a helmet on his face, or at least a hat. Same goes with Huginn, his left-hand-man, who just gave you a ride...
Other three though, they show their face and call each other by names. Muninn, Odin's right-hand-man, is Kadaj, and other two members are Yazoo and Loz. They all call each other brothers.. Those three call each other names, but they always call Odin elder brother. They don't call Huginn by name at all, they just call him brother, too, though from some incidents it was told that Huginn is the youngest.. And Huginn calls them all by names, even Odin. He sometimes calls Odin 'elder brother', but generally just call him Odin."
"..Okay..?"
Now that was odd.. Demyx knew someone who Roxas just treated same way. But that meant.. Demyx shook his head and questioned to confirm his guess.
"...Does Odin happen to have very long silver hair?"
"How do you know? Do you know who Odin is! All of them besides Huginn has silver hair, but no one has hair as long as Odin's!"
"...That makes Odin my senior who graduated our university two years ago, alright.. Who happened to be Axel's partner in one of the lectures. ...That's crazy. He majored in international laws for god's sake, and Huginn... as well, is majoring in the same thing now.. And they are.. ...Well."
What kind of thing could he say? Odin was Sephiroth. That explained a lot.. Somehow. And now, Sephiroth was a member of Team SeeD for god's sake, and what? This Jenova thing had a very high possibility of having a connection with Organisation XIII. That made him worry about Roxas. He looked completely oblivious about it, but still.. There was no way that Xemnas told them about other members if they were really somehow related, so it would be good. That also explained how Xemnas was well-informed about the police activities.. As far as he knew, Roxas's parents were very famous prosecutors in their past before they retired. Ventus, and Aqua.. Once, Zexion and Axel was talking about them, that their 'complete being' met Ventus before..
..Shaking his head, Demyx asked Shelke.
"..That's not important now.. Hey, Shelke.. Where are my other friends? I missed them a lot- really!"
"And everyone missed your music, silly. They are all at usual place!"
Demyx followed her quickly, smiling widely. This was one of the things he missed, playing music and enjoying his leasure time with his friends.
XIV . iv
Where Nothing Gathers.. It was just as clean as he remembered, giving him eerie feelings. He remembered that this place was literally blasted and burnt when the police force ambushed.. Now who the hell cleaned and fixed this place so perfectly? Holding his Arpeggio and playing it for some soft tune to calm him down while waiting, Demyx sat on his chair carelessly. However, he nearly dropped his Sitar when he heard a quiet applaus after he finished playing one. Soon, he saw No. XIII standing at the centre of the room, Vexen standing besides him. As No. XIII motioned him, Vexen took a step forward and spoke.
"...He seems to like your music, though I can't find a reason to.. ..Well, and he says he doesn't want to speak to you directly yet, because he is still unsure of the outcome of this meeting."
"...Hmm? ..Well, then I won't go down. Tell me.. No. XIII. Why are you suspicious of Zexion, Axel and Marluxia?"
It was strange, Demyx noted. No. XIII was calmly murmuring to Vexen, who listened quietly, willingly, and looked up to him. Showing slight hint of distraction, Vexen forwarded No. XIII's words.
"He says... No. I always knew about No. XI's betrayal.. Only thing is he haven't told anyone, though No. VII might have guessed it by himself. No. VI and No. VIII are too clever or perceptive to neglect No. XI's betrayal completely, he says.. ..And he wishes you to refer them by their numbers, because it is a formal meeting, even if it doesn't feel like one at all.. Argh!"
Demyx flinched. No. XIII just smacked Vexen with a sword-like looking weapon which appeared out of no where.. Well, appearing out of no where was not surprising, but smacking Vexen with it's dull part? Whimpering, Vexen looked at No. XIII, but soon looked down and forwared No. XIII's words again.
"He wants me to forward his words directly.. Okay.. 'Leader always knew about it, that the Graceful Assassin was the one to betray. He expected him to do something, but never imagined that he would go as far as destroying the organisation itself. As for No. VI and VIII, I suspect that at least one of them were directly involved, and another one just keeping his mouth shut, not betraying both the organisation and his friends, which I still regard as a betrayal.'... And now he adds.. 'Now it's your turn to answer. No. IX, while I observed you, I recognised some evidences that you were willing to return to your old post. After all, unlike them- you have a complete understanding that you do not have a heart and therefore have no emotion. You are not a fool who is swayed by your own faked emotions, and so I shall appreciate your co-operation if you are willing. I found no evidence against you, and so I won't go against you even if you do not help in this.'... ...What? What do you mean by that?"
Demyx jumped slightly as Vexen almost shrieked at No. XIII in the middle of forwarding process. However, No. XIII just shoved him away and looked up at Demyx, revealing a very wicked looking smirk on his lower face. Scary enough, Demyx thought. He found No. XIII very intimidating and actually terrifying for some reason he could not understand. After a short pause, Demyx actually fall off from his chair when No. XIII directly spoke to him.
"I see No. IV is no use, he can't do something as simple as forwarding my words directly.. It seems I should have taken Luxord out instead of him." Vexen whimpered quietly at this, which No. XIII ignored completely. "Alright, let's go informal. I see no use of being formal now. Good evening, Dem. Quite an eerie place to meet again, ne?"
"Ro.. Roxas! You-"
Demyx was lingering at the edge of his chair, only by his left hand. Shrugging, Roxas did something and lowered his chair, letting him on his feet again. Panting, Demyx stared at Roxas who removed his hood and smirked.
"Why, surprised to see me like this? I guess you did.. But I was planning to tell you eventually, really. I didn't expect a scientist to be this brainless-"
"No. XIII...!" Vexen whimpered again, but Roxas just gave him a cold glare too similar to that of Xemnas's and silenced him.
"-and I needed someone else with a brain to help me out. Sure, I maybe a good Nobody and kill one or two of you off, but fighting against one of the bests.. Well, all Nobodies are strong, but Axel and Marluxia are stronger than others. Leader, of course, is the strongest, and from what I know, Axel and Marluxia are next. Then comes Xigbar, Xaldin, Saix, Zexion, you, Luxord- all of you in similar levels.. However, Vexen is the weakest in battles. Leader told me that I could take out Axel or Marluxia one on one. It's just that I am not sure if I can stand against two of them at once. I needed someone to stop one of them, preferably Axel because Marluxia will be my priority, while I take care of Marluxia, and Zexion, if he was involved. Of course, if Axel wasn't involved, then Zexion would be stopped by Vexen, and via versa, leaving Marluxia alone, which would be more desirable."
Demyx only stared at Roxas, speechless. Whole this time, Roxas's eyes were blank, deprived from any emotion. His voice almost sound mechanical, though the contents were quite emotional. That.. That was something Demyx wanted to see, no matter how ironic it sounded. Immediately stop faking anything, Demyx answered in cold voice.
"I shall follow your orders and cooperate with your work until our leader returns, No. XIII. Does your brother know anything about this?"
"Sephiroth, the leader of Jenova, has an old agreement with us, which states that as long as we help him clearing out Avalanche without killing his ex-fiance, he would help us in return. Xemnas, our leader, being my professor in psychology as well as his. we all three were aware of others. On the other hand, Sora or any others have no idea who I am. It was only members of Jenova and our leader. Five days ago I took Vexen out of the prison and Vexen heard my voice. Yesterday, when Vexen met you, it was the first time Vexen actually saw my face. Leader of the Turks and his partner, meaning Veld and Tseng, are aware of my identity, but it happened only a month ago. Other Turks think that I was belonged to another secret department of Shinra. No one else. Not even Xigbar or Xaldin."
Somehow, Demyx found it very pleasing. Well, he wasn't exactly happy, but he somehow felt more 'complete', knowing that this No. XIII acknowleged his usefulness and had chosen him to entrust this information. It was clear that he didn't give a damn about No. IV, though he couldn't place somethings. Like, how Vexen seemed more scared of No. XIII than Xemnas, or why he was completely submissive somehow.. Vexen was quite arrogant mad scientist, and was obviously required some sense in his system.. Which he usually lacked. However, now, Vexen seemed to know where to stay quiet...
As Demyx pondered, Roxas just turned to Vexen and spoke in a surprisingly soft voice.
"...Well, Vexen? You can go back there by yourself, right?"
"Yes, I can.."
"Good, then. Go and wait for my call. You will have free time until I call you again. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."
Quietly, Vexen nodded and left, leaving Demyx and No. XIII. After a short pause, No. XIII kept his hood over his head and half his face again and murmured.
"...Hope you don't tell anyone about who I am. We already have a deal, for telling no one about anything related to this trip.."
"...No. XIII. I need to ask you something.. Are you aware of the fact that No. VIII has a crush on you?"
"Which is nothing but a facade? Yes. But I have to tell you that I am already taken by Sephiroth."
"...Isn't he your brother? Well, we are Nobodies, but..."
No. XIII chuckled. He looked truely amused, looking like a human... Like a normal human. Demyx stared at him. He seemed to have a perfect control over himself.. Smiling, he, Roxas, answered.
"Sephiroth was an adopted orphan. Biologically, there is no connection between him and me. And anyway.. I don't know how, but I do not have any memories of my past, before I came to an existence. I do not know who I was before I became a Nobody. But I was called Sora's twin, which is strange.. My parents must be knowing that I am not Sora's twin.. Unless Sora's real twin died and I took his place. I came to an existence when Sora was three, which is awfully young.. And I grow. I am not stuck in this form as you all are.. I grow up, I age. But I am still a Nobody.. I am a strange one.
Anyway.. So we all know that we are not blood-related, and we are not sleeping with each other or anything like that. Sephiroth has his fiance, you see.. I am just taking his place for a while. He misses his fiance, so I am letting him play with me as much as he wants. Well, I do not have such wants, but I am fine with it. After all, I am just a very healthy teen, and at this age they tend to have some fun."
"...Facade again, hm?"
"It has its own merits. Sephiroth is softer on me, and he doesn't really go wild on me. Being looking so similar to his love.. It has it's own advantages, like letting me able to catch him off guard. Definitely fun.. Imagine cold and aloof Sephiroth Safer caught off guard and jumping up, or scream with shock."
"..."
What kind of person was he before he became a Nobody? Demyx wondered, though Roxas made it clear that he had no idea who he was before he became a Nobody. Still.. He was a very complex being.. Ruffling his hair, Demyx whispered to the younger one's ear.
"Well, then, shall we go to your chocobo farm tomorrow, Roxie? To prove we were actually there, that is."
"That would be fun, really. Where do you stay? You know, I already met Kadaj and Seph, and I don't want to stay with them tonight- Seph is quite sexually frustrated, because I am not letting him do anything more than touching.."
"..You don't?"
"Definitely not. From what I've learnt, he is violent, and I do not need pain."
Roxas shrugged, smiling. It reminded Demyx of Sora, Roxas's twin. How close those smiles were.. However, he soon shook his head and chuckled off.
"..Ah, well, well.. Alright. Chocobo! I wanna see yours, Rox!"
"...Pleasure, Demyx. See you today morning, at 7, where I dropped you yesterday. Right?"
"Yep! See you tomorrow, then!"
