Jasmine here. Fanfiction felt the overwhelming need to remove allll of the spacing of this chapter when I uploaded it. I think I got it all, but if there's a formatting problem, it's not my fault! Anyway, hope you enjoy!
We don't own KH / FF.

Namine reached for her cell phone, frowning slightly at the paragraph she was reading, engrossed in the book, "Hello?"
"Hey, Namine!"
"Dad?" Namine asked, surprised, slipping her bookmark into her book and closing it. "Is everything all right?"
"Of course. I just wanted to let you know that Lenore and I are about an hour away-we're coming by so that she can finally meet you two."
"Oh," Namine said, mind blanking as she began internally panicking.
After a pause, her dad spoke up again, "Er, Namine? You okay?"
"I'm fine," Namine assured, "I'll see you both soon."
"Alright, see you soon!"
Namine hung up and blankly glanced around her room before looking at the clock and springing up, hastily cleaning up while yelling, "Kairi!"
Kairi poked her head in, "What's up?"
"Dad's on his way! He'll be here with his new wife in... 50 minutes!" Namine said, never once stopping her movements.
Kairi frowned for a moment, before her eyes widened, "What? When did he decide this?" she asked even as she dashed down the hall to her own room.
"He just called me!" Namine yelled, finishing up her room and running into the bathroom, shoving all of their products into the cabinets so that their newest stepmother wouldn't rifle through them.
Kairi cursed loudly.
Done, Namine headed for the stairs, yelling as she went down, "I'll start on the kitchen, hit the living room when you're done up there!"
"'Kay!" Kairi called.
Moving quickly, Namine stashed away all of the paper products they had, getting out the good china in its place. She wiped down everything and emptied the dishwasher, just moving to the refrigerator as Kairi came bounding down the stairs. Peeking inside, she very nearly cursed.
"When was the last time we made a grocery run?" she called out to her sister.
"A week after you starting dating Reno, I think. We haven't been home much." Kairi answered, poking her head into the kitchen, "It that bad?"
"Half a gallon of milk which has almost certainly gone bad and half a pizza," Namine replied.
"...How about you clean the living room and I'll run to the grocery store and buy stuff that looks healthy?" Kairi asked. "We have a half hour, right? I can totally get back here in time."
"Don't get into an accident, please," Namine said, agreeing.
"I'll be careful." Kairi promised, grabbing the car keys and fleeing the house still wearing the black yoga pants she'd slept in.
XXXX
Twenty-five minutes later, Kairi ran into the house, arms loaded up with bags from the closest grocery store. "NAMINE!" she called out as she dropped them on the floor of the kitchen and ran back out the door to grab more from the trunk.
Namine hurried to the kitchen, unpacking quickly, shoving the fruits, vegetables, and other perishables into the refrigerator. She silently thanked all that was right in the world that Kairi had managed to grab some finger food to offer, diving into the next armful of bags her sister brought in.
"Spray cheese?" she looked incredulously at the bottle in her hand.
"I was grabbing things off the shelves!" Kairi said, dashing back out to shut the trunk.
Namine shook her head, shoving the can into a bottom drawer as she continued unpacking, unloading the last bag as Kairi came back in.
"Okay, food's all unpacked. Stuff the bags at the bottom of the trash and throw some other stuff on top of it so they won't be able to tell we only just went shopping. Is there anything else we have to do?" Kairi asked, frantic.
"I cleared everything out, putting out the company magazines and those horrid throw pillows Dad got us a year ago," Namine said, stuffing the bags away like Kairi had suggested.
"Did you get the horrible picture of us from when we were 14 out?" Kairi asked, "The one we hid in the holiday closet?"
"No, I forgot to grab it while I was putting away the picture of Mom," Namine sighed.
"If I was feeling more vindictive, I'd plant that on his bedside table." Kairi growled. "Did you put the picture of Mom in your room or mine?"
"It's in my dresser, as Dad tends to snoop through your stuff more than mine," Namine said, going to get out the picture of their younger selves.
Kairi followed her, not sure what else to do.
She had just grabbed the picture and closed the closet door when a car could be heard pulling up and parking in front of their house. Quickly, she placed it in the living room and shared a glance with Kairi.
"Behave," she muttered, just as someone knocked. Going over to it, she forced a smile before opening it.
"Package for Kairi and Namine White?" the delivery guy said.
Namine blinked, "Um, yes, that's us. I'm Namine."
"Sign here," he handed her the sheet. She signed it and handed it back, getting a long, slim box in return.
"Have a good day," the guy nodded before leaving.
Namine closed the door, "This is a flower box. Who would send us both flowers?"
Kairi raised an eyebrow, "Er... no idea." she said, grabbing the note on top.
"Well?" Namine asked.
"They're from Mary!" Kairi smiled.
Namine smiled but shook her head. There was another knock at the door and she quickly shoved the flowers into Kairi's hand. "Get these in a vase? I'll get the door."
"Sure." Kairi said, taking them into the kitchen.
Namine opened the door, recognizing her father and looking over the slight woman with him. "Hi, come on in."
"Hi, Namine." Her father smiled, giving her an awkward hug, "This is Lenore."
Lenore smiled softly, "Hello, it's nice to meet you."
"You too. Why don't you have a seat in the living room?" Namine said, closing the door behind them before calling out, "Kairi, they're here!"
"Be right there!" Kairi called back.
Bracing herself, Namine walked into the living room and sat down, "So how was the drive?"
"Not too bad. It wasn't very far." Their father answered.
Kairi appeared in the kitchen doorway, forcing a smile, "Hello."
"Kairi." Their father smiled, "Kairi, this is Lenore."
"Hello." Lenore smiled, "It's nice to meet you."
Kairi, who had heard her introducing herself to Namine, began to wonder if that was all she could say, and just nodded, "You too."
"So what do you do, Lenore?" Namine asked, trying to be polite.
"I'm a lawyer." Lenore smiled, "You're in school right now, right? What are you studying?"
Namine smoothly hid her surprise, "Psychology."
Lenore smiled, "Oh, that's great!" Looking over at Kairi, who was standing behind Namine's chair, she asked, "And you, Kairi?"
"Human resources." Kairi answered.
"How long are you staying?" Namine asked, glancing between the two of them as she directed the conversation away from school.
Lenore glanced at her husband, who shrugged. "We aren't sure yet."
"Oh, I see." Kairi said. Her phone suddenly buzzed. Pulling it out, she glanced at the number and hit ignore.
"Everything alright?" Lenore frowned.
Kairi nodded.
"How's work, Dad?" Namine asked, not wanting to ask Kairi who it was in front of her father and his new wife.
"Work's good." Their dad nodded, before launching into an explanation of exactly what had been going on for the last two weeks in his company. Kairi suppressed the urge to roll her eyes.
Namine made the appropriate noises, mentally going over her checklist. The drive, school, work. They had the weather and food left before he'd give up and either go upstairs or leave.
Kairi glanced at her sister, and then over at her dad and Lenore, noticing that Lenore looked like she was attempting to change the subject to something the girls would enjoy too (which was odd-none of the other wives had cared).
When their father wound down, Namine smiled, "Well, it seems like you're very busy. Did either of you want anything to eat or drink? I'm sure we have something for you."
At that, Kairi hopped up.
"Oh, you don't have to-" Lenore protested, but Kairi shook her head.
"Come on, Nam, let's go get some food."
Namine smiled and stood, murmuring a "We'll be right back," before following Kairi into the kitchen and getting out the vegetables, crackers, and dip.
"Who called you?" she muttered.
"Xigbar." Kairi answered, "I'll call him back later. Did you tell Reno while I was gone?"
"I left him a message," Namine nodded. "He's probably just crashed for some sleep." She picked up the plate, "Get some drinks?"
"Sure. What do you want, and can you ask what Lenore and Dad want?" Kairi asked, walking over to get some cups.
"Just water," Namine said, heading back to the living room and setting down the plate, "What would you like to drink?"
"Water would be fine." Lenore said, standing up, "Do you need some help?"
"No, thank you. Please, sit," Namine said. "Dad?"
"Just water is fine for me too."
Kairi, who was listening from the doorway, came out a minute later with three glasses of water and a glass of root beer for herself, and put them down on the table.
Namine smiled and resumed her seat, taking a sip. "Please, help yourselves."
Kairi sat down as well, as their dad began to eat, but Lenore only took a polite bite of a carrot before smiling at them again.
"It hasn't snowed in a while. I wonder if it will before the season ends," Namine mused, mentally checking 'food' and 'weather' off her list.
"Do you like the snow?" Lenore asked her.
"Sometimes," Namine answered.
Lenore nodded.
"What about you?" Kairi asked, trying to get Lenore talking so that they wouldn't have to.
"Well, I suppose so." Lenore nodded, "I don't see it too often, though."
Namine nodded, watching her Dad carefully, counting down in her head until he got bored.
"Well, Lenore, how about I show you around town?" He suddenly asked as the conversation fizzled out.
Lenore hesitated, "Are you sure?" she glanced at the girls.
"Oh no, have fun!" Kairi said with a fake smile, "Let Dad show you around."
"It was nice meeting you," Namine said politely, standing.
"You too." Lenore said with a smile.
"We'll be back later." their dad promised.
"See you then." Kairi said, waving politely.
As the door shut behind the two of them, Kairi waited until she heard the car pull out of the driveway before letting a string of incredibly angry and pent-up curses out of her mouth. When finished, she took a deep breath.
Namine just sighed and headed to the kitchen to unbury their bottle of wine.
"Nam, she's NICE." Kairi said, incredulous, "She seemed... like HONESTLY INTERESTED. She's going to make dad come back here!"
"She wants us to like her; I'm guessing she thinks Dad'll feel more for her if we approve," Namine said, pouring herself a glass.
"Namine." Kairi said, "Dad's going to come back and they're going to live here."
"No, they won't. He'll last two weeks, maximum, before he gets the itch again and absolutely needs to go to a bigger city and back to his job. It's the only thing he lives for, he can't be away for long," Namine said. "And she'll be dying to go with him because she will not have a single friend here."
Kairi sighed, sitting back down and letting her head drop into her hands, "I can't take two weeks."
"Yes, you can. Go to school and then to Sora's or Xigbar's. Come home late to sleep and leave early in the morning," Namine said, taking a sip.
"You always scare me right after these incidents." Kairi admitted honestly. "It's like we switch places temporarily."
Namine merely shrugged, "We have a few hours before they get back, I'm going to go read."
"I have to call Xigbar back." Kairi said, "We could always go out and lock them out, you know. Make sure we grab the spare. I don't think Dad realizes I stole his key yet, even though I did it like five years ago."
"We'd better not," Namine said, "If they really do stay, you can do it then. For now, let him think he has a key." She shrugged.
Kairi sighed, "Alright, alright." she said.
XXXX
Leaning back against the counter of the kitchen, Kairi dialed Xigbar's number and took a sip of the glass of wine she'd poured herself when Namine had left.
"Hey, Red," Xigbar answered.
"Hey." Kairi said, "Sorry for not picking up earlier."
"No worries. What're you up to?"
"Just met my newest stepmom." Kairi groaned.
"Damn. Surprise visit? How is she?"
Kairi just groaned again.
"Want me to come over, Sass?" Xigbar asked, concerned.
"No, no, it's okay." Kairi said, "But I want to get very very drunk and forget this ever happened once they leave."
"They're still there? Damn. How's Namine holding up? Need me to grab Reno?"
"Namine turns into the ice queen when stuff like this happens. She's upstairs reading. As long as they leave within two weeks, I think we'll be okay." Kairi sighed. "They're out 'exploring the town' or whatever."
"It's hard to picture Namine as anything but nice, Sass," Xigbar teased. "You guys need anything, lemme know. Wanna go out tonight, Red? Grab some dinner?"
"That would be great." Kairi said, "But I have to check. I'm not leaving Namine here alone with them."
"All right. If she's got no where else to go hang out, she can always come with us, Sass. You know I'd love to escort two such beautiful women as yourselves."
Kairi smiled, "Thanks, Xigbar."
"Anytime, Red. Call me later, okay?"
"Promise." Kairi smiled.
"Love you."
"Love you too." Kairi smiled again.
"Talk to you later, Red."
"Yep." Kairi nodded, "See you."
XXXX
Xigbar pocketed his phone, heading out to the kitchen to grab a drink and spotting Leon and Cloud on the couch watching some kind of movie. Gulping down a glass of water, he leaned on the doorway between the kitchen and living room.
"Bout time Cid closed the garage for a day, huh?" he grinned.
Cloud glanced over at him and smiled, "Yeah. Perfect timing, too. I needed the day off."
"I bet. How's the roommate doing?" Xigbar asked.
"He's okay, thanks. He's got plenty of support at home, which is why I'm here," Cloud answered.
Xigbar chuckled, "Yeah, yeah. What the hell are you two watching, anyway?"
"I have no idea." Leon answered, "We found it on TV."
Before Xigbar could reply, the front door was unlocked and Seifer walked in, another guy trailing after him.
"Xigbar, did you steal and hide my wallet again?" Seifer asked as he walked through the living room, ignoring the people there in favor of opening his bedroom door to search for his missing wallet.
Xigbar grinned, "Why would I do that?"
Hayner stood awkwardly near the door, not really sure what to do or say.
Seifer sighed and shook his head, "Give it back." he said, "Guys, this is Hayner. Hayner, these are my roommates, Leon and the asshole, and Leon's boyfriend, Cloud."
"I just said I didn't do it!" Xigbar protested before turning his grin to Hayner. "So you're the guy, huh? Eh, not bad."
"Uh, thanks?" Hayner said, not sure if he was just insulted or not.
Cloud glanced between Seifer and Hayner, "You two together?"
Seifer idly nodded, glaring at Xigbar, "It's not in my room, which means you must have it."
"You know, I like the days when things aren't my fault." Leon commented.
Seifer's glare shifted, and Leon just smirked.
Cloud focused on Hayner, "I hope you know what you're getting into. Be careful."
Hayner blinked, completely confused, "What?"
"Just be careful," Cloud repeated.
Seifer didn't really even notice, staring Xigbar down to see if he was telling the truth. Finally he sighed, grumbled, and disappeared inside his room again to try and find his wallet.
Xigbar winked at Hayner before turning and opening the oven quietly, pulling out Seifer's wallet and tossing it across the room to him. "Oh, hey, your boyfriend found it!"
Hayner caught the wallet, glancing at Xigbar and back down to the wallet.
Seifer glared at Xigbar again as he exited his room, "He didn't even move. You're an ass."
"Don't blame me your boyfriend swiped your wallet when you weren't looking! He just pulled it out of his back pocket!" Xigbar said.
"What? No I didn't! Seifer, I swear!" Hayner said, blushing and shoving the wallet over to the blonde.
"Don't lie, kid, we all saw you," Xigbar said, shaking his head.
Seifer grumbled and continued to glare at Xigbar, "Come on, Hayner, let's just get out of here." he rolled his eyes, heading towards the door.
"I swear I didn't take it!" Hayner stressed, following after him.
"I know you didn't, Xigbar's just an ass." Seifer rolled his eyes.
"I take great offense to that! I happen to have a great ass!" Xigbar grinned. "Oh, and kid? Welcome to the daily life of Seifer. Hope you're prepared."
"Me too," Cloud muttered, wearily watching the couple.
"Fuck off, Xig." Seifer rolled his eyes, pushing Hayner out the door and shutting it behind them.
Xigbar chuckled, turning back to the couple on the couch, "Young looking, isn't he? And what was with you, Cloud? Leon here tell you about Seifer's illustrious past?"
"...Something like that," Cloud said, not really answering.
Leon raised an eyebrow, "Actually, I don't think I did."
"Oh?" Xigbar raised an eyebrow. "Care to elaborate, then, Blondie?"
Cloud sighed, "Does the name Axel mean anything to you?"
Xigbar frowned, "No, why?"
"Axel's one of Cloud's roommates." Leon told Xigbar, before gesturing to Cloud to continue.
"Wait, your Axel? What's he got to do with it?" Xigbar asked.
"He's the one who painted that painting, for one thing," Cloud said, gesturing to it. "For another, he went to high school with Seifer and they were friends, until Seifer decided to convert their other friend, Philip. Philip's dead, by the way, and Axel has never forgiven him. Can't say I blame him, either."
Leon sighed, "Shit."
"That mean you went to school with Seifer, too?" Xigbar asked.
Cloud nodded, "Yeah. Ax and him were already enemies when I got there, but I always knew who he was. I don't think he knew me, though. And I realized it was the same guy as soon as I saw that painting."
"Damn. Well, for what it's worth, Seif's really into this one. Like, he has no desires to dump him," Xigbar said.
Cloud snorted, "For now."
"No, really, he's falling for him," Xigbar protested.
Cloud looked skeptically, "Hopefully Roxas' friend is able to tame him, then. Though I doubt it."
"If Seifer does do anything stupid this time, Roxas and Xigbar will be teaming up to mutilate him." Leon promised.
Xigbar winked, "Count on it."
Cloud nodded, "For what it's worth, I hope you're right and he has changed."
Leon smiled.
Cloud leaned in to him and Xigbar took that as his cue to leave them alone, retreating back to his bedroom.
XXXX
"Definitely, yeah." Larxene spoke into her phone, adjusting her sprawled position on one of the chairs in the living room. Axel, who was waiting for Roxas while sitting on the couch watching TV, smirked at her.
Raising an eyebrow, she questioned him silently.
He stuck his tongue out, receiving a glare in return.
"Sorry, what was that, Saix? Axel's being an ass." Larxene said, turning away from her redheaded friend, who proceeded to mock her behind her back.
Zexion completely ignored them, shifting closer to Demyx, only glancing up when someone knocked but making no move to stand up to get it, gripping Demyx tighter to make sure he didn't move, either.
Axel hopped up, stopping his mocking, and opened the door.
"Hi," Roxas grinned, stepping up onto his tiptoes to kiss Axel.
"Gross, if you're doing that, I'm leaving," Hayner grumbled.
Roxas laughed, "C'mon, I just want you to meet everyone! Besides, it's be easier if both of my groups of friends knew each other."
"Well, I just live to make your life easier, don't I?" Hayner snapped.
Roxas smacked him lightly, "Behave."
Axel chuckled, letting them both in.
Grabbing his hand before he could try to leave, Roxas pulled him inside, "Everyone, this is Hayner, my best friend. That's Larxene, Zexion, and Demyx."
Hayner nodded, "Yeah, hi, roommates of my friend's boyfriend."
Another smack, "I told you to behave."
"Knock it off!" Hayner growled.
"I'm beginning to wonder how you two are friends at all," Zexion commented dryly.
"Larxene and Axel kind of act like this, though." Demyx said to Zexion, waving to Hayner. Larxene just nodded, preoccupied with her phone call.
"Sparky, get off the phone long enough to say hello." Axel rolled his eyes.
Larxene sighed, "Hold on a sec, Saix? Thanks." Pulling the phone away from her ear, she turned to Axel, Roxas, and Hayner, "Hello, friend of my friend's boyfriend." she nodded, "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go finish this somewhere else." she rolled her eyes again, putting her phone back to her ear and wandering down the hall to her room.
"I like her," Hayner grinned.
Roxas rolled his eyes, shoving Hayner towards the chair Larxene had just vacated, going to the couch with Axel and sitting on his lap.
"So you're at the college, Hayner? What's your major?" Zexion asked.
"History," Hayner answered.
"Though none of us know how he even got in," Roxas teased.
"Hey! I get enough of that crap from Olette!" Hayner protested.
"Sorry, sorry," Roxas grinned.
"If you weren't sitting on your I'm-as-tall-as-a-tree boyfriend, I'd kick your ass," Hayner muttered darkly.
Axel laughed.
Roxas managed to stretch out and kick Hayner and Hayner glared before giving in, "So what about you guys? Aren't you super smart or something?"
Zexion nodded, "Or something, yes."
Demyx chuckled, squeezing Zexion's hand.
Hayner glanced at their hands, "Are you guys together?"
Zexion smiled, "Yes. Since you're friends with Roxas, though, I trust you don't have a problem with that?"
Hayner shook his head, "Nah it's cool. Love who you want and all that."
"Are you straight, then?" Zexion asked.
"Yup," Hayner said.
"Nope," Roxas said at the exact same time.
"I'm gonna go get a drink. Anyone want anything?" Axel asked, determined to not be here for this talk.
Roxas smiled apologetically at him, shifting so he could stand and shaking his head.
"No thanks," Zexion answered before focusing on Hayner, who was glaring at Roxas.
"How many times do we have to go over this? I'm not gay!" Hayner scowled.
"But you're dating a guy!" Roxas argued.
"So?" Hayner asked.
"So that makes you bi or gay!" Roxas said.
"Roxas is right," Zexion agreed.
"No way! I only like Seifer, okay? I don't like any other dudes. Therefore, I'm straight!" Hayner snapped.
Roxas shook his head at the Hayner-logic while Zexion frowned, glancing into the kitchen at Axel's stiff form and piecing the story together in his head but not saying anything.
Demyx glanced at Zexion, but didn't say anything.
"Whatever you say," Roxas rolled his eyes.
Hayner huffed, "After all the grief his roommates gave me yesterday, I don't need your crap, too."
"You met his roommates?" Roxas asked, a little surprised.
"Yeah, for like two seconds. Doesn't that blonde mechanic guy live here, too? He was there," Hayner said.
"Cloud?" Roxas asked.
"Yeah, him and his boyfriend were there. And Xigbar. What an ass," Hayner snorted.
"Hey, I like Xigbar!" Roxas defended.
"He framed me for stealing Seifer's wallet!" Hayner exclaimed.
Roxas chuckled, "Actually, he would do something like that."
"It's not funny!" Hayner protested.
Axel resisted derogatory comments from the kitchen and pretended that getting a drink was an incredibly difficult and time-consuming task.
Roxas just shook his head, glancing into the kitchen.
"I'm going to go now. I've got... stuff to do," Hayner said.
"Sure you do," Roxas laughed. "Thanks for the ride."
"Yeah," Hayner said, rolling his eyes.
"It was nice to meet you," Zexion said politely.
"You too. See ya," Hayner waved, heading for the door.
Axel waved from the kitchen.
Hayner left and Roxas stood, going to Axel in the kitchen, "You okay?"
"Mhmm." Axel said, sighing.
Roxas pulled him down for another kiss and smiled.
Axel smiled back.
XXXX
Some time later, Zexion glanced up from his book when Demyx came into their bedroom with two drinks. Smiling, he put down his book, "Thanks."
Demyx smiled back, "No problem." Handing him his drink, he put his down on the desk and sat down, sighing. "Stupid homework."
Zexion took a sip and shook his head, "I thought you were almost done?"
"I always save the hardest stuff for last." Demyx answered.
"Do you need help?" Zexion offered.
"How much do you know about World War II?" Demyx asked.
"Enough to help," Zexion answered, setting his book and drink aside and standing up, moving over to Demyx's desk. "Which part don't you understand?"
"All of it." Demyx answered.
Zexion shook his head, "I'm sure that's not true. Here, let me see." He reached across the blonde and picked up the assignment sheet. "This isn't too difficult. I bet most of the answers are right in your textbook. History can be fascinating if you approach it correctly, you know. Did you know that we have Hitler to thank for pink being the color for girls and blue for boys? Originally, it was reversed, but Hitler assigned pink triangles to gay men during the war to label them for the camps, and its forever been associated with effeminacy."
Demyx raised an eyebrow, "Nice." he said, "Don't think my teacher would've taught us that."
"Maybe not, but that doesn't make it less true. And interesting, I think. I've always liked the color pink," Zexion smiled wryly.
Demyx smiled, turning to give him a kiss.
Zexion's eyes widened in surprise before he gave in, letting Demyx kiss him. When they broke apart, he said, "You still have to finish your assignment. But maybe... you could take a break?"
Demyx smiled, "Sounds good." he said, before pulling Zexion back down.
Zexion let the assignment sheet fall down to the desk, bending to be able to kiss Demyx as the blonde was still seated and he was standing. Not that he was going to complain about it if he was going to keep kissing him...
Demyx pulled back a moment later, "That can't be comfortable." he frowned, "Sorry."
Zexion's blush deepened and he suddenly became very aware of his rapid heartbeat, slowing standing back up, torn between wanting to kiss him again and pretending it didn't happen and going back to the history homework.
"Zex?" Demyx asked, frowning again.
"Y-Yeah?" Zexion replied, blushing anew.
"You okay? We can move somewhere else, or something." he said, standing up and leaning against the desk.
"I..." Zexion shook his head. "I never know what to do around you," he confessed.
Demyx frowned, "What do you mean? I... I think you're doing fine."
"Really? Because I feel so... awkward," Zexion said, staring at his feet.
Demyx smiled, lightly pulling Zexion up to look at him before kissing him again. Pulling back for a moment, he mumbled, "You shouldn't."
Zexion smiled and shyly linked hands with Demyx, stomach flipping as he leaned in and kissed him softly, pulling back and burying his head in the crook of Demyx's neck, hands moving up to hold him tightly.
Demyx adjusted the position of his arms around Zexion, holding him close.
Zexion sighed and closed his eyes, content to just stay like that forever, not wanting to move.
XXXX
It's just one thing after another with these characters, huh? ;)
Zex's fact is totally true, by the way. Look it up.
Well, I hope you liked it! A bit lighter than the last chapter but also kinda stressful for some of the characters! More where that came from so watch out! :D
