Oh my. I'm a bit hyper at the moment, and I am in love with all of my reviewers! You make me happy, fer serious. and omygoodness I have a backorder of ideas now. (3including this) XD I love you people. I knew I should have wrote more than one yesterday.

XD SO anyway it's a Zemyx today. EEEE. Another reason im kinda hyper is yesterday when I was JUST about to go to bed, Carmine Complex (amazing. story. ::pimps:: hilarious.) by The BirdFox Hybrid Productions updated yesterday with a massive chapter, and it pretty much made my life. So. Anyone who's bored give it a looking. eee!

SO enough rambles.

"talk" think ((mee))

What If…

Demyx and Zexion were the only ones in the castle?

((as suggested by the lovely Inspire-Illuminate))

Zexion sighed happily as he worked on his research project in the quiet peace of the library at the castle. Finally, he thought as he curled further into the book he was poring over, everyone is gone. Even Vexen and Lexaeus have left, I cannot believe the Superior had gotten everyone out of the castle…

For once, Zexion was actually thankful to the Superior. Zexion had been turning in pitiful work for research projects lately, and when he inquired what the problem was, Zexion had replied that he had been distracted.

Of course, the Superior thought he had been distracted by someone such as Number VIII or Number XIII, so just to be safe he sent everyone, including himself, out of the castle, in order that Zexion had in the best research project he had ever written. And, true to that, Zexion was just finishing up his best work.

However, the distraction that had been keeping him from working was not Number VIII or Number XIII as the Superior had thought. It's that damnedly delectable Number IX…Zexion thought, about to lose himself in his thoughts of the intriguing blonde. Try as he might, Zexion could not get him out of his thoughts. "This is stupid," he muttered as he finished the conclusion of his report, "There is no reason at all for me to be fascinated by him. Not one. I shouldn't even have the ability to be 'fascinated'," Zexion muttered darkly. Gathering his books, he picked up his finished report and set off in the direction of his bedroom.

-------((to the bedroom!))------

After sending the report directly to the Superior's desk through the mailing system in the castle, Zexion put the rest of his books in a neat pile on his desk. Suddenly, a familiar sent reached his nose. Oh no…What is he doing back? Zexion looked at the door, panicked. He's supposed to be on a lengthy mission! Leave it to Number IX… Sighing, Zexion set off towards Number IX's room to berate him on not fulfilling his mission properly.

Arriving at Number IX's room, Zexion hesitated before he knocked. This is stupid, he thought as Number IX, opened the door.

"Number IX," he greeted stoically.

"Zexion!" Demyx, said, surprised. He never was one to respect his superiors. "I thought everyone else was out on missions!"

"I just finished mine," Zexion said dryly, "shouldn't you be on yours, Number IX?"

"Zexion. We've been over this. Call me Demyx!" he said triumphantly, but glancing at Zexion's still-stoic expression, he sobered. "My mission was to clean all of the Heartless out of Wonderland. I scoured every inch of it, and I couldn't find more than a few! So I came back early!" he said, grinning.

Zexion could see no way to argue that point, so he nodded and turned to leave him

"Wait!" Demyx said, and Zexion turned from his spot in the hallway.

"I'm…kind of bored, actually," Demyx said sheepishly. "Would you stay with me while everyone else is gone? We could play a game!"

Zexion looked indecisive. I should not have to indulge him upon his silly ideas…Zexion thought. However, maybe if I stay in his company I can decipher why I am so…fascinated with his presence…

"Fine…Demyx, what do you want to do?"

Demyx beamed. "I have the perfect idea! Let's play hide and seek!"

Zexion stared at him. "Are you serious?"

"Why not! We do have the castle all to ourselves, you know," Demyx said, "you hide first!" Demyx turned around and started to count.

Zexion sighed, shaking his head. I can't believe I am doing this, he thought darkly. Then a devious idea came to mind. Perhaps this will be interesting after all…

Zexion sent three duplicates of himself off in different directions, and walked towards the Superior's quarters.

--------((dun dun DUN))---------

"98…99…100! Ready or not, here I come!" Demyx yelled triumphantly.

"I have been ready for quite a while now, Demyx."

Demyx saw Zexion in front of him, and looked crestfallen. "Idiot, you were supposed to hide!"

"I did. I am but a copy, sent here to tell you that I am not hidden in this part of the castle. Searching the entire castle would take too long and you would lose patience…"

Demyx nodded in understanding. "Which direction?"

The Zexion copy looked at him blankly. "I cannot give you that information."

Demyx sighed and marched off in a random direction.

----------((time elapse here))------

After running in to two more of Zexion's copies, Demyx surmised that Zexion would be in the area of the Superior's quarters. So much for taking a short amount of time…Demyx panted as he leaned against the wall, closing the gap (hopefully) on himself and Zexion.

Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out in the hallway.

"Number IX! What are you doing in this part of the castle?!"

Demyx turned around, surprised. "Superior! I'm sorry, I was just looking for Zexion…" he trailed off, looking anywhere but at the Superior.

"Number IX, you have no business looking for Number VI because his mission has nothing to do with yours," he berated harshly. "Furthermore," Demyx flinched as the Superior looked at him harshly.

"You really suck at seeking." Demyx looked up, surprised, as the Superior's form melted away to reveal Zexion.

Demyx visibly relaxed, grinning at Zexion. "You so cheated."\

Zexion smiled slightly. "It made it more interesting. Now isn't it your turn to hide?"

Demyx thought for a moment. "I am really sick of Hide and Seek now thanks to your little copies." Zexion chuckled. Then Demyx had an idea. He looked over at Zexion, smiling. "Zexion! Wait a few minutes and meet me at my practice room okay?"

Zexion sighed as Demyx ran off towards his practice room, suited to his element. I can only imagine what he has thought of…Zexion mused as he went off towards the cafeteria to grab a snack on the way to join Demyx.

----------((foreboding music plays))------

Zexion grew more and more wary as he approached Demyx's practice room. He could only hear the sounds of water sloshing as he neared the door. "Demyx…?" he inquired quietly as he neared the door. He pulled it open, hearing Demyx's cry of "Zexion no!" a nanosecond too late.

"Oh hell," Zexion swore as a wall of water washed him down the hallway and into the wall at the end. Demyx immediately called off his element and dashed over to where Zexion lay.

"Zexion? Zexion? You weren't supposed to open the door yet! We were supposed to go surfing! Zexion!" Demyx said as he shook him. Demyx tried to think. There's something that people use to resuscitate others, Demyx thought, It must work on Nobodies too. Demyx hesitated, as he looked down at Zexion's still form. "He's going to kill me…"

Demyx steeled himself, pinched Zexion's nose, and put his lips over his. He breathed into him a few times and let go. When nothing happened, Demyx did it again. This time, Zexion coughed and sputtered a bit. Demyx pulled away from him, relieved.

The relief only lasted a few seconds, however. "Demyx you idiot! You know that I can't swim, let alone survive being pummeled by a few tons of water—"

Zexion was cut off by Demyx's lips being crushed to his in relief and desperation. Stunned, Zexion was frozen in shock as Demyx wrapped his arms around his neck, pulling him closer. His eyes sliding shut, Zexion gave in and responded to Demyx's advances. Demyx groaned as Zexion pushed back against him, his arms circling Demyx's waist, stroking up and down his back. Demyx's hand fisted in Zexion's hair as he pulled back a fraction to take a breath.

"I'm sorry," Demyx muttered breathlessly, looking away. Zexion didn't hear him however, as he was overrun with thoughts.

That's the reason for this…fascination, Zexion thought quickly, Demyx is so…Demyx…its hard to understand, but…he grinned at Demyx as he pulled him into his lap, embracing him.

"You're a hard one not to like, Demyx." Demyx smiled up at him and leaned up for another kiss.
