Bad Day, Good Day Chapter 9
A/N: Hmm what to write now? How about… A plot twist? Or Zexion's past? I know, I'll do both! Not. Joking! Maybe…
Wait… I've got good news, and bad news. Bad news is… I'm not gonna write for a week. Good news is, I'M JUST KIDDING! Seriously, it's fucking summer and I have nothing else to do but this. Shows how much of a life I have, doesn't it? (Sarcastic much?) I need friends! Wait, no, I need Zexion and Demyx plushies! Woe to my life!
"Nngh… No… Please…" Zexion writhed. He was having that dream again…
Zexion's POV, so you know. Italics are what Zexion is really thinking, as in not-young-Zexion, the one who is currently staying at Demyx's apartment.
I-My 5-year-old-self- was in a car. My dad was driving. My mom was asleep. I couldn't sleep. I didn't know why. But something was going to happen, I could feel it. Too bad I didn't know what it was until it was too late.
"Zexion?" My dad said. "Shouldn't you be asleep now?" He said. It pains me to even call you family.
"Mmhmm." I said, mostly because a boy my age really shouldbe asleep. I never really got around to a good night's sleep since, that's probably why I'm small for my age.
"Why aren't you asleep?"
"I don't know." I do now.
"Go to sleep champ."
"Okay dad." Don't listen to him! Don't sleep! Get out of the car, do something! Just don't- I went to sleep.
The next thing I knew, we were on the edge of a cliff, about to fall. My mom was screaming at my dad to 'Stop, please, stop, what about our child?' but my father paid her no heed. Bastard! He just kept laughing, crying, tears falling out of his eyes, screaming hysterically, pushing at the car to fall off. Why did my mother even marry you, you asshole! I didn't know what to do. Kill that bastard! My mother did the only thing that she felt right. She pushed me out of the car. I'm sorry, mom. I reached out to her, but she only pushed me away. I'M SORRY! She then said to me, 'I'm sorry, Zexion.' MOM!
Zexion woke up screaming.
"Zexion! Are you okay?" A shadow—Demyx, something at the back of his head reminded him—rushed into the room and quickly sat at Zexion's side.
"DEMYX!" Zexion threw his arms around the familiar figure, sobbing.
"Shh… It's okay, Zexi. You're going to be alright." Demyx rubbed Zexion's back.
"It… My mom… She…" Zexion sniffled.
"It's going to be fine, Zexi." Demyx kissed Zexion. "I'll stay here for the night, would you like that?" He asked.
"Yes… Please…" Zexion whimpered.
"Okay, I'll stay." Demyx smiled softly.
"Th- Thank you…"
"You're welcome. Go to sleep."
Needless to say, that was the second night Zexion slept peacefully in a row.
The next day… (Zexion is going to be so OOC)
'Dude… Did I sleep with Zexion again?' Demyx thought as he woke up to sunlight swimming through an open window.
"Noooo… make the light go away, Mr. Pillow Man…" Zexion mumbled.
'So cute!' Demyx thought as he stood up to pull the curtains over the closed window.
"Thank you, Mr. Pillow Man, wherever you may be!" Zexion smiled and raised his arms upwards sleepily, unaware of his one-man audience trying to stifle his laughter.
"Okay, that's cute, Zexi, but we gotta go and move in to your apartment." Demyx ruffled Zexion's head.
"But first!" Zexion grabbed Demyx and pulled him down, saying; "We must explore the new world! And-" That was the farthest Zexion got until Demyx's phone rang.
Ring!
"Wait! What was that?" Demyx asked sarcastically.
Thud
"Wait. What was that?" Demyx turned to find Zexion on the floor.
"OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED ZEXI?" Demyx ran to his best friend who was sitting dazed on the floor, who was, miraculously, unhurt.
"I… Have no idea. Demyx, let's get ready… I have a feeling this will be a long day."
His hunch was right.
One hour later!
"Mr. Melody, mail!" A letter slid under the door.
Demyx,
This is your half-brother, I'm sorry about what happened about Mom and Dad, you know about how news doesn't travel fast here. Anyway, I should say in advance that I'm going there to see that you have a good life, steady job, I mean, you've already graduated high school and well on your way to college. I don't want you to end up like me.
-Cloud-
"Cloud is still alive?" Demyx squeaked, tears forming at the corners of his eyes.
"Who is 'Cloud', Demyx?" Zexion asked.
"Cloud is my half-brother." Demyx explained.
"Half-brother being…"
"My mom married this guy, then they had a baby, but the guy doesn't want a child, so he divorces, then my mom finds another guy, falls in love with him, he sees the kid, thinks it's cute, marries my mom, they have a kid, me, so that's the story!" Now this was said in one breath, and quickly at that, but Zexion has lived with this all his life, so he's used to it.
"Hmm… Interesting." Zexion looked thoughtful, then sniffed the air. (What, you think I wouldn't put his awesome sense of smell?)
"Demyx. There is an unknown subject nearing your apartment. It smells of sweat, smoke, blood, and… airplane food." Zexion stated, as if it was the most important thing in the world.
Knock
"I'll get it." Zexion walked to the door.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Zexion opened the door to reveal a man in his mid-twenties (26 years old?) and covered in blood.
"Yes, where was the last owner of this apartment?" The man asked emotionlessly.
"I'm not sure, but you should stay for a while. It's getting close to dinner, please, stay and eat a while." Zexion offered.
"Oh it's quite alright." The man looked a bit, ashamed.
"Hey Zexi, who is it?" Demyx popped out of the kitchen. He gasped.
"C-Cloud?" He managed to squeak out.
"Demyx?" Cloud looked shocked.
Oh dear! What will happen now that big, protective brother is here?
Somewhere around 6 p.m. …
"How are you Cloud? I see that you haven't really grown since last time I saw you!" Demyx said cheerfully with a sarcastic edge, since the blond was forced to wear Demyx's clothes since Zexion decided to wash his blood-and-sweat stained shirt, jacket, and pants.
"I've been better." Cloud said emotionlessly.
"Jeez, you're just like Zexi! All emotionless and stuff." Demyx pouted.
"And I see you still haven't outgrown that pout of yours." Cloud chuckled weakly.
"Of course! It's my infamous pout!" Demyx crossed his arms.
"Zexion, was it? Have you heard Demyx sing before?" Cloud smirked.
"No, not exactly." Zexion replied boredly from his spot in the couch; hanging upside down.
"You should."
"I'll put that into mind."
"I'll get dinner ready."
"You go do that."
Glare "…" (Zexion)
Stare "…" (Cloud)
'This feels so weird, like there's an awkward tension in the air.' Demyx thought as he squirmed. He didn't do well with awkward tensions.
Glare"…"
Stare"…"
Squirm"…" (Demyx)
Glare"…"
Stare"…"
"So…" Demyx desperately tried to make conversation.
"So…" Cloud and Zexion replied simultaneously, smirking.
"Zexion, what's for dinner?" Demyx looked at Zexion.
"What would you like?" Zexion asked.
"Waffles!" Demyx smiled brightly.
"Waffles?"
"Breakfast for dinner. Demyx's favourite." Cloud stated.
"… Maple or honey?" Zexion sighed.
"Maple!"
"What Demyx said."
Lol, After dinner… (Weird almost-plot-twist here)
"Uhh… Demyx, can I speak with you for a moment?" Zexion said.
"Sure Zexi, what's up?" Demyx said cheerfully.
"There are only two bedrooms." Zexion whispered in Demyx's ear.
"Demyx, I just realized. There are only two bedrooms." Cloud said from Demyx's room; the room he was going to sleep in the night.
"Uhh… Crap, I didn't think of that, uhm… I know! I'll sleep in Zexion's room!" Demyx looked at Cloud to see if the idea was good.
"Whatever, just don't keep me up late." Cloud smirked.
"Huh? What did he mean by that Zexi?" Demyx turned to Zexion, who was sporting a mild blush.
"I think you know exactly what I mean, Demyx." Cloud said suggestively.
"No. I don't know what you're talking about." Demyx pouted.
"… Don't keep me up with your moaning and screaming, okay?" Cloud said bluntly.
"But we're not-"
"Goodnight, Demyx."
"… G'night Cloud."
Lol, whatever happened to protective big brother?
That night…
Flash
There was another storm.
"What the hell is with you and storms?" Zexion demanded to the fourth wall.
Fourth wall breaking
"Oh fine! What do you want?" Fourth wall person said.
"A normal night perhaps!"
"Fine!"
… Here we go again…
Take two!
Action!
That night…
"Zexi, hey Zexi, you awake?" Demyx poked the other in the side.
"I am now."
"Oh sorry.
"No, it's quite alright."
"I can't sleep."
"What do you suggest that I do?"
"Tell me a story."
"What kind of story?"
"You pick." Demyx yawned.
"Alright… One upon a time… Demyx?"
"…"
"Demyx?"
Snore
"Goodnight, Demyx."
"I didn't eat the pie, Mom…"
A/N: I'm so sorry that I didn't post yesterday! My brother was using the computer the whole night! LOL, I loved the fourth wall breaking part.
Review?
Asta la bye-bye!
