I really had never expected to get such a reaction from Demyx.
Maybe I expected his excited face, a smile perhaps.
But not a spine-crushing hug that was almost killing me at the moment. I cringed at the feel of his hands squeezing around my frame. My back popped, and Demyx jumped back, worry evident in his eyes.
"Oh! Jeez, I'm so sorry Zex!" I inwardly winced at the nickname that, even in this setting, I had always despised. He ran a hand through his ridiculous hair before glancing at Roxas and Axel.
"Oh, you guys are here too!" Axel smacked his forehead, and Roxas rolled his eyes. Demyx looked back at me, and I sighed.
"Nice to see you too Number N- Demyx." Demyx's eyes widened at my informality.
"Y-you said my name." Oh God, he looked amazed. It made me feel bad thinking it, but he did look... pathetic, in a way.
Roxas nodded. "Yea. Dem, we sort of have a problem." Demyx looked back at Roxas almost reluctantly.
"Yea? What's wrong?" Roxas pointed at me.
"Zexion doesn't have anywhere to go."
No... He wasn't suggesting...
"He can stay with me!"
...Why?

And so I ended up thrown into Demyx's apartment, and I felt like the clog in his regular flow of his spontaneous life. I felt as if I were intruding upon all of his private rituals as soon as I set foot in his abode.
After Roxas and Axel had left, I stood awkwardly in the den of his little apartment, feeling so very awkward.
"So, Zex, when did you get here?"
Demyx was looking at me, eyes bright, like a child about to hear a fairy-tale. Unfortunately enough, I had really no story to tell.
I shrugged. "I really don't know. I just ended up here by luck, I think." I had never used the words "I don't know" without feeling as stupid as I did then. Demyx didn't respond, staying still for once in his life.
It made me uneasy.
"Uh, there's nothing else I can really tell you, Demyx." Demyx suddenly shook his head, eyes focusing again.
"Sorry, I spaced out. What?" I sighed. Even if we were human now, he was still the same Demyx I had always known. I repeated my previous words, walking over to sit on his couch.
Demyx nodded. "I see."
I really doubt he did, actually.
I cleared my throat, cursing the silence that followed this thought.
"Demyx, I'm wondering..."
"Mm?"
"Why did you want me to stay here?" I brought a hand up under my chin, propping my head up as I looked at him. I almost smirked in amusement as his face took on a dusty rose color.
"Oh...uh-I dunno. I guess I just wanted to s-see you?"
"All the time, every day?"
He flashed a asinine grin. "Hey, how did you guess?"
I resisted the urge to cover eyes with my hands and sigh deeply. Okay, now the situation was MUCH worse.
"I see. Well, where do want me to sleep?" Demyx gave me a puzzled look.
"Sleep? But it's like seven..."
"I realize, but I'm exhausted." I knew it was very out of character of me to whine, but at the moment I didn't really care. Apparently the trip here had drained me of all energy, and I hadn't recognized that fact until I had arrived at Demyx's. I looked up at Demyx, trusting that my facial expression showed my exhaustion. He raised his eyebrows.
Wow, did I look that bad?
"Oh. Uh, I haven't really thought of that." Another show of absent-mindedness. If I was really going to live with Demyx, I was going to have to teach him something about critical thinking...
"Ah. Well, this would be a good opportunity to do so." I sat, feeling my eyelids droop a bit. He better think of something, or I might fall flat on my face, asleep on his floor.
Demyx grinned then, and I hope that was a show of a spark up in that skull of his. "I got it Zexy! You can sleep in my bed."
I almost growled at him.
Really.
There was absolutely no way I was going to sleep in his bed.. with him.
"...And I'll sleep on the couch, 'kay?"
I nodded at this.
"Okay... mind if I go to bed now...?" I cringed at the slight slur of my voice.
He grinned. "Sure go ahead! Oh wait... do you have anything to sleep in?"
I looked down at the black shirt and skinny jeans I was wearing and back up at him. "No."
"Oh... Okay, I'll lend you some stuff."
And I ended up in Demyx's bed, asleep.
In his clothes.
Jesus, this is going to be awkward.

A/N: Aww, poor Zexy. XD Stuck in an awkward situation. I know it's all humor-ish at the moment, but it'll get better, I swear. I am in sort of a humor mood today, so maybe the next one will be angsty or something. Well, I don't know how much I've typed, but if my fingers are going numb, then I guess that's enough. XD
Rate and Review? Please?
Flamers, I'll have Axel give you Chinese Water Torture...or put pee in your soda, I dunno.
Thank you!
