(Demyx, out of simple curiosity, decides to interview Roxas and Axel to answer a few questions that had been bothering him since Roxas joined the Organization; there was, overall, only one answer that he truly wanted….)

Roxas

Demyx: SO, Roxas! You're actually going to give me an interview?!?

Roxas: …. Dem, do I have a choice? You were trying to climb the wall to get pictures of the inside of the apartment…. Does Soko know you're playing paparazzi again?

(Demyx glances briefly down at his shoes and shakes his head gently.)

Demyx: Not exactly…. But you'll answer my questions, right?

Roxas: …. I guess.

Demyx: Do you SWEAR you'll answer?

Roxas: Sure. Whatever.

(Demyx grins, and Roxas can't help but flinch. When Demyx looked happy, that usually meant something bad for everyone around him.)

Demyx: Okay! So, when did you join the Organization?

Roxas: Dem, you were there…. Why are you asking me?

Demyx: Fine. Fair enough. Who was your best friend at the Organization?

Roxas: Do you even have to ask that?

(Demyx cringes and looks down at the words he wrote on his hand.)

Demyx: …. Do you still keep in touch with this person?

Roxas: …. What do you think?

Demyx: How long have you known each other again?

Roxas: Dem, are you going to ask anything you don't already know?

Demyx: …. Yes. In a minute. Umm…. Oh! I know! Describe your relationship with this person!

Roxas: We're roommates. You know th…. Hey! Where are you trying to go with this?!?

(Roxas blushes furiously and Demyx tries to look innocent, but fails miserably.)

Demyx: Nowhere, Roxas.

Roxas: I don't believe you. If you're gonna start that shit again, get out of my house.

Demyx: It's an apartment. And you rent it so it's not technically….

Roxas: Just… go. If you have nothing pleasant to say, please don't bother to say it.

Demyx: But…! I just wanna know! Please tell me! Please, Roxas!

(Roxas' face takes on a faint shade of purple under the red.)

Roxas: No. Get out. You know everything you'll ever need to know.

********

Axel

(After a few days of laying low and waiting for Roxas to leave Axel alone at the apartment, Demyx finally manages to corner him.)

Demyx: Hey, Axel!

Axel: WHAT, Demyx?!? That's the fourth fucking time you've done that! You're gonna meet your demise if you say it one more time!

(Demyx flinches slightly and glances down at the black smear on his hand that had once been his cheat sheet.)

Demyx: Would you answer a few questions? Please?

Axel: …. Would you leave me alone afterwards so that I don't have to decapitate you?

Demyx: Uh, sure. So you'll do it?

Axel: If it'll shut you up today, I'd jump off of the tallest building in this world.

Demyx: Okay! When did you join the Organization?

Axel: … About four months before you.

Demyx: Uh, when was that?

(Axel looks at him in disbelief and lays his head against the back of the armchair.)

Axel: I dunno. When did you suddenly appear in the realm of Nothingness? A few years ago maybe?

Demyx: …. Next question. Who was your best friend at the Organization?

Axel: I swear, Dem, you ask the most idiotic things….

Demyx: Fine. Don't answer that one either. Do you still keep in touch with this person?

Axel: "This person"? Who are you trying to be?

(Demyx begins to get frustrated, increasing Axel's amusement.)

Demyx: Gah! Whatever. How long have you known each other?

Axel: Since the Organization. Duh. No, wait. I was at the grocery store and just happened to run him over with the cart!

Demyx: Really?

Axel: …. No.

Demyx: Describe your relationship with this person.

Axel: What?

Demyx: Describe your relationship with Roxas.

Axel: And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Demyx: I'm just asking….

Axel: Didn't we go through this right before the Organization fell? Didn't I get attacked by the fucking Moon Man because I blew a hole in the wall of the meeting room? And now you're asking me the same thing when no one's around to save your ass from annihilation?

Demyx: … But it's your apartment. You wouldn't do that here, would ya?

Axel: I could fix the hole…. Eventually. We already lost the deposit, anyway. What could a little fire hurt, other than you?

Demyx: I think I'll pass. But you have to admit, you and Roxas are pretty close…. A lot of people might wonder about….

Axel: Yeah, perverted jerks like you!

(Axel rises from the chair and begins to walk toward Demyx, an evil grin plastered on his face.)

Axel: Got any more questions, Dem?

Demyx: No, I think I'm good!

(Demyx laughs nervously and starts toward the door.)

Demyx: Ya know, I think I might leave…. BYE!!!

Roxas and Axel

(Post-Interview)

Axel: Rox? Do you think he suspects something?

Roxas: What? Who are you talking about?

Axel: Demyx. With those damn interviews. Do you think he suspects that we…?

Roxas: …. Knowing him, probably. Let's just forget about it, 'kay?

Axel: What's the point? He's just gonna bring it up again in a few months! Let's PROVE to him that there's nothing going on between us!

Roxas: Find a way, then. That doesn't involve physical or mental warfare, any kind of violence, fire, or killing Demyx somehow.

Axel, muttering: Crap. There goes my plan….

Roxas: Hmm?

Axel: Nothing, Rox, nothing at all.

Roxas: Although it might be kind of fun…. I shouldn't encourage you, though. So, no. No. No. Understand? No.

Axel: Yeah, I get it, I get it. Damn.
