Quiet days were a rarity in Never Was, seeing as how so many people lived there, with vastly different personalities. Sadly, most of them had louder personalities
Thats why Zexion found himself in a very good mood on the day in question. Most of the members were off on missions, including some of the more annoying ones, like Axel and Xigbar
This left Zexion with a smile on his face, and more importantly, a book in his hands. It felt so nice to finally be reading a book with no interruptions whatsoever, without any asinine members to come and bother him
It was almost peaceful
Which was why Zexion nearly let out a small yelp as a guitar rift ripped through the castle. Or, he should say, a sitar rift
Oh no, not on his peaceful day. He wouldnt stand for it
Slamming his book shut, Zexion quickly stood and began marching through the halls of Never Was Castle, a scowl on his face. How had he forgotten that Demyx had stayed behind as well!? By the Darkness, that should have been the asinine member he had been most worried about!
The Schemer quickly made his way to the room of Number IX, knocking on the door in a rapid motion. The music coming from the other side stopped, and in less than a second the door was opened, the wide smile of the Nocturne greeting him.
Hey there, Zexy! Whats up?
The smile faltered as Demyx noticed Zexions expression. On closer inspection, he could see Number VI was mad, and it seemed that his anger was directed at the younger male
Demyx, I know this may be hard for you, but could you please, please try to be quiet! Im trying to read!
But Zexy, I have to go on a scouting mission with Roxas tomorrow, this is my only chance to play!
Every time you fight you have a chance to play, Demyx
Now please, try and be quiet.
With that, Zexion quickly turned and began walking back in the direction he had come.
A moment later, a second set of footsteps began following him back to the library, and a minute later the music started. It was quiet at first, but then steadily grew louder. And as the music increased, Zexions annoyance did as well. He would not let the Nocturne get to him! He wouldnt!
Zexion walked in to the library with his head held high, standing at his full height, which admittedly, wasnt much. Despite this, he was still an intimidating figure. Demyx didnt seem to care.
Zexion sat down on the couch once more and picked up his book, opening it to the page where he had left off.
Demyx merely stood beside him, playing the soft melody. Zexion side-glanced the Nocturne, seeing a small smirk on his lips
That was never a good sign. That meant a plan was being formed, and Zexion had the strange feeling that he wasnt going to like this.
He was right.
The next instant, Demyx jumped on to the couch, the soft melody changing to a rock rift, that rock star smile crossing Demyxs features.
Come on, Zexy, you know you want to party!
Zexion looked up incredulously at Demyx, his vow to ignore the younger boy momentarily forgotten.
What, by the powers of Darkness, makes you think that?
Because, you never party! Come on, Zexy, you know you like the music.
Zexion raised an eyebrow.
Id like it better if it stopped.
A pout came to Demyxs lips, but he never stopped playing the music.
Cmon, Zexion, it doesnt bother you that bad. Youre just being impossible, like you always are!
I dont know what youre talking about
Demyx flashed that smile again, and the strange sensation passed over Zexion to smile with him. Kingdom Hearts, he was losing his mind now!
What can I do to win you over so I can play for the rest of the day?
Theres nothing that will make me allow this music to continue.
Oh please, there has to be something! Something that I can do to make it up to you. A trade! I give you something, then you give me permission to play today. Come on, Zexy, take the offer!
Zexion glanced back over to Demyx, the proposition playing over in his mind.
On one hand, Zexion was practically positive that there was nothing Demyx could do to change his mind on this matter. On the other hand, Demyx was scheming
He had something in his mind, or he wouldnt be offering this. Zexion liked schemes, as much as that got him in trouble from time to time
This time would be no different, Zexion realized.
Fine Demyx, fine. I accept. If you can convince me to let you play, then I wont bother you for the rest of the day. But if you cant, then I dont want to even remember that youre here today, understood?
A charming smile flashed across Demyxs features, and he nodded happily.
Of course, Zexy, a deals a deal.
Alright then. Then whats your offer?
The words had barely left his mouth when the Schemer suddenly found the Nocturnes lips pressed against his own. For a moment Zexion was too shocked to really grasp what was happening, and it took him even longer to realize that he didnt mind it at all. In fact, he was kind of enjoying it
Far too soon, Demyx pulled away, that smile still on his lips. Finding Zexion looking at him in stunned silence, Demyx nodded happily.
Well then, Ill just be in my room if you need me, Zexy! See you later!
Demyx stood up before Zexion was fully thinking again, and left the room with a devious giggle.
Zexion stayed exactly where he was for a long time, and only snapped back to reality when he heard a rock rift coming from down the hall.
Darkness take him, what just happened?
Zexion shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, when he realized that smile had finally come to his lips. Well, thered be time for payback later.
Picking up his book, the Schemer opened it back to the page he had left off, listening to the sounds of music floating to his ears, and thoughts of devious revenge running through his mind.
