I really wanted to write more in this so I'm forgoing my writing/story system and doing this.
Well, we've had flashbacks, we've had stormy rescues, we've had land longings…let's change the pace a little with some spells and stuff like that.
.**********.
"So, what are you boys doing here?" Larxene asked, her eyes still showing her amusement. "Wouldn't think that our lovely king would want something from me." She said 'king' like Xemnas was a joke she loved to make fun of.
"I-I need your help," Demyx stuttered nervously. "I want—"
"You want to go up to the surface," Kairi said in a voice that made Sora and Roxas cringe and hide behind their brother for a second.
"The surface?" Larxene asked with a slight grin. "Well, I suppose I could do something about that. If you tell me why you want to go up there."
Demyx blushed slightly, turning his eyes to the ground again. "B-But my father…" he started.
Larxene's grin grew slightly evil. "Your father won't know anything," she promised, Kairi grinning at the lack of sincerity in her voice. "Now tell me about this boy."
"How do you know it's a boy?" Demyx asked, blushing harder.
Larxene smirked, moving her hands to rest on her hips. "Honey, please."
Demyx bit his lower lip, still blushing a deep red. "His…His name is Zexion," he started to explain. "He's a prince. Please. I just want to go see him where he can see me."
Larxene thought about it for a second before she looked at his brothers. "And what about your little brothers here?" she asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.
"We want to go with him," Sora piped up, his hand squeezing Roxas's in fear when Kairi smirked at him.
"Sora," Roxas hissed at the brunette.
Sora leaned up, cupping his free hand around his twin's ear. "If we stay with Demy, then he won't be able to get in trouble," he whispered. "Besides, you can see Axel if we do this."
Roxas glared at his younger twin, but he just growled softly, turning back to look at Larxene and Kairi. "We want to go with him," he reluctantly agreed.
Larxene grinned again, waving her hand. 3 pieces of yellow paper floated in front of her, a fish skeleton pen in her right hand. "Sign here," she said, one paper floating in front of each of the boys. She handed Demyx the pen first, floating in front of them with her arms crossed.
"What do we have to give you?" Demyx asked, trying to read the fine print of the contract in front of him.
Larxene grinned, the papers moving down slightly to show the boys' faces with a wave of her hand. "From you," she said, turning her electric gaze to the older blonde, "your voice. Such a beautiful thing." She looked at Roxas next. "From you, your eyes. Blue as the sea itself." Finally, she looked at Sora. "And from you…well, you won't know until it's over, will you?"
"That's it?" Demyx asked, biting his lower lip as he looked at his contract again. "How long will this last?"
"3 days," Kairi replied, crossing her arms with a grin.
"And if no one kisses you within that time, you're mine," Larxene finished and with another wave of her hand, the contracts moved back up. "Deal?"
Demyx took a deep breath before closing his eyes, signing his name with a flourish on the contract. Roxas went next, glaring at his contract as he signed it. Finally, Sora signed, still holding his twin's hand as he finished.
Larxene grinned, waving her hand to make the contracts and pen disappear. "Good luck, boys," she smirked, waving at the three teenagers disappearing in gold magic as they floated up toward the surface.
"Demyx! Sora!" Roxas looked around frantically he felt sand between his fingers, not seeing anything thanks to the contract between him and the sea witch. "Where are you guys?"
"Roxas." Sora's soft voice came from beside him, a pair of hands helping him stand up. "Roxas tap my hands twice if you're okay."
Roxas was confused until he realized what Sora had taken from him. His hearing. He tapped his twin's hands twice, letting him know he was okay. "Once for no, twice for yes, kay?" the brunette asked. Roxas tapped his hands twice again. "Where's Demyx?"
Roxas looked around, but mentally chastised himself for thinking his eyes would magically come back to him. "Sora," he said slowly. "Do you think you can read lips?"
"I…I think a little," the brunette replied slowly. He looked around, face lighting up when he saw Demyx lying on the sand several feet away from them. "Demyx!"
The older blonde slowly opened his eyes when he heard someone call his name. He tried to call back that he was okay, wrapping his hand around his throat when he realized he didn't have a voice to call out with. He pushed himself up, turning his head slightly to see Sora and Roxas running over to him, Sora holding tightly to Roxas's hand.
"Demyx!" Sora exclaimed happily, holding out his hand to help his brother up. "Are you okay?" The older blonde nodded.
"Well, you already know that you can't talk," Roxas started to explain, "I can't see, and we just learned that Sora can't hear. He can read lips a little, if you want to talk, talk to him and he'll try to translate to me."
Demyx nodded again. His head jerked around when he heard voices coming closer. "Sora, hide!" Roxas hissed at his brother, his twin's hand tightening on his as they ran to hide. Demyx looked around in a slight panic before hiding behind a large rock. He blushed deeply when he finally realized he was completely naked. He started to cover himself when he heard footsteps stop in front of him. Demyx looked up to see Zexion standing above him with his arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.
"Who are you?" he asked.
Demyx tried to answer but still couldn't use his voice thanks to Larxene's contract. Zexion's gaze grew suspicious before memory hit him hard. He finally recognized the boy as the one who saved him from the storm. "You," he said softly, letting his arms drop to his sides. "You're the one who saved me, aren't you?"
Demyx gave a small smile, nodding a few times. Zexion gave a small smile until he found his eyes traveling down the blonde's body. He blushed a little, turning his head away. He pulled off his jacket, handing it to the younger. "Here," he said, handing it out. "Put this on."
Demyx stood up, pulling the jacket on and buttoning it closed, the bottom of it going down to his knees (it went down to Zexion's ankles). He gave a small smile, the smile still on the slatenette's face.
"Where did that little brat go?" Axel muttered, really pissed that Zexion ditched him as soon as they got to the beach. His head whipped around when he heard something move, relaxing when he saw Roxas sitting against a rock with his knees pulled up to his chest. "Hey, who're you?"
"Roxas," the blonde said softly. Not being able to see anything made someone a little cautious about random voices he heard.
Axel remembered the hair somehow, but the eyes he couldn't pinpoint. They held a blank stare, the color a light gray or something. "Can you see?" he asked, leaning down to the blonde's level. Roxas shook his head. The redhead gave a small smile, gently taking the younger's hand and pulling him up, wrapping his coat around the smaller frame. Roxas clutched the coat like a lifeline. "I'm Axel," he said. Roxas gave a small smile.
Riku frowned, looking around to see if he could find out where his two idiot friends had run off to. He whipped his head around when he heard something, eyes widening and jaw practically dropping when he saw Sora looking at him from behind a rock.
"You're the boy," he whispered. Sora cocked his head to the side slightly, the silverette too far away to see what he was saying. The older moved closer, leaning down in front of the brunette. "I'm Riku."
"Sora," the brunette said softly, blushing when he realized once again that he was naked. "Can I use your coat?"
Riku nodded frantically, pulling off his coat and pulling it onto the smaller frame. "You saved me 10 years ago. Why haven't I seen you since then?"
"I…I can't," Sora replied. "Can you slow down when you talk? I can't…I can't hear you."
"I'm just so glad I found you," Riku said slowly, bringing the brunette into a hug. Sora's eyes widened before he smiled, returning the hug.
All three boys took their newfound treasures and headed back to the castle, none of them seeing each other as they walked.
.**********.
Well, that was stressful. Trying to make three different things like having three different mermen meeting three different humans is harder than you'd think.
Anyway, I should have another chapter out soon. Got a lot of ideas for this. They'll be meeting each other, too soon. ^^
