Prompt: #76: Witness Protection (400 words)
Song: Owl City - Deer in the Headlights
Characters: Demyx, Xion, Roxas, Axel
(continued from chapter 6)
The apartment door swung open so abruptly that Demyx, who'd been quietly standing just outside it, jerked hard enough to smack his elbow into the wall. Before he could even worry about Axel's landlord spotting the shiny new dent, two sets of hands had reached out, snagged him by the collar of his shirt, and dragged him forward until he found himself face-first on the living room floor.
Well. This certainly wasn't how he thought the evening would go.
"Jeez! Did you have to kill him?!" Axel's voice was pitched close to panic somewhere from off to his left.
Demyx lifted his head slowly, catching sight of his boyfriend's anxious expression as Axel sat petrified in a nearby chair. Before he could ask what was going on, however, someone else gave an indignant snort directly above where Demyx was sprawled.
"Oh relax, he's fine," the new voice sighed, and Demyx turned his head to see a pair of dainty ankles standing before him. He flicked his gaze up – dread pooling in his stomach – to find a girl with short black hair and sharp blue eyes glowering down at him. She crossed her arms over her chest, intimidating despite her cherubim appearance.
"Okay, you," she barked, "Start talking. What exactly are your intentions with our roommate?"
Demyx gaped at her, still on the ground. "I-uh…?"
But he was cut off as a second, equally accusatory voice chimed in. "Yeah! Axel comes sneaking back in at ass-o-clock and you're lurking out in our hallway." A head of blond hair leaned in way too close to Demyx's face, a second blue glare appraising him with visible distrust. "Pretty sketchy if you ask me."
Demyx was suddenly very aware of what was happening. Quickly shooting his boyfriend a helpless look, Demyx craned his neck to look at the pair hovering over him. "You guys must be Roxas and Xion," he started, offering a friendly, albeit shaky smile.
Roxas scowled, crossing his own arms so that his and Xion's postures were identical. "Ohhhh no. We're not buying the innocent act."
Xion gave a sharp nod. "What we wanna know is whether or not you're secretly an asshole."
Demyx blinked. "Uhm," he started, unsure of how to respond. "I mean… I don't… wanna be?" He swallowed.
Blue gazes narrowed. "Get up," Roxas ordered.
Xion cracked her knuckles. "No one sleeps until our questions are answered…"
Trying to get back into this challenge since I never did finish it last year. Granted, I was in the middle of planning a move, but since it's September again I want to at least attempt to finish what I started.
I'll probably do at least one more for this story arch if an appropriate prompt shows up. I'd really like to extend Dem and Axel's torture~ XD
