Like Hot Running Water (Demyx) {13} Revelations
Twilight, the fragile time between night and day. That was your element, and you couldn't help but laugh. Axel, who still stood next to you with a proud smile on his face, quickly gave you a strange look.
"Hey, Xaria... are you sure you're okay? You're acting kinda weird. After this meeting, it means no more missions. You seemed to have your heart set on them". You slowly stopped your laughing and looked him dead in the eyes. For the first time in a long time, Axel felt a jolt within him. He shook it off before re-focusing on you. You, on the other hand, had been desperately trying to forget Xemnas' announcement, and had almost done just that.
"I... I honestly don't know" you finally whispered. Axel frowned. "Well, I'm not good at this stuff or anything, but do you want to talk or something?" he asked, rubbing the back of his head.
You plopped onto the grass and looked up at the sky. "Axel, do you know why I was going on so many missions?" you questioned. He shrugged. "Ever since Demyx and I spoke, I've been looking for the Heart Creator..."
He nodded, not quite understanding what you were getting at. "And, I always went alone. I wanted to be the one to do it..." you whisper, your eyes glittering in the moonlight. "Do what?" Axel pressed on, he was now truly intrigued.
"I wanted to be the one to get Demyx a heart"
"Wow, Xaria that's really amazing of you" Axel says truthfully. You give a half smile and shrug. "But I must admit that hurts. You aren't trying to get a heart for your one true love, aka me?" he questioned, bringing a hand dramatically to his temple.
Laughing, you slapped him playfully. "Shut up you girl, I'm serious. I don't know what to do" you tell him. "Well, I don't know what you can do except for talk to Demyx. He's been up night and day searching for the Heart Creator..."
Your eyes went wide. "What, are you serious?" you suddenly exclaim. "Yeah Princess. He seemed so dedicated. You can't talk to him... and when he isn't on missions, he mopes around all depressed like" Axel reminisced.
"I gave up on cheering him up a while ago. I know it would make him feel a lot better if you talked to him. Maybe if you two work together or something, you could find a way to get me a heart" You smacked him. "Okay, get us some hearts".You gave Axel a final hug and goodbye before walking away. He stood back for a moment, looking down at his hands. He couldn't move his finger tips as a tingly sensation consumed them.
You were now in the halls, searching. You had taken Axel's advice to heart and decided to talk to Demyx. Deep down you knew he was looking for a heart only to make you happy. You couldn't help but grin at the thought.
But the realization that Demyx was still a Nobody immediately sunk in. You sigh as you continue the search. You had checked his room, the dinning room and pretty much everywhere else with no luck.
Passing by a familiar white door, you turn your head to see it leads up onto the rooftop. Quickly pushing it open, you run up two steps at a time, only to be greeted by the large heart-shaped moon.
Demyx sat with his back to the door, gazing over the grounds sadly. Slowly you approach him and clear your throat. "Oh god Xaria, you scared me!" he quickly yelled jumping to his feet. His voice seemed quite raspy.
"I, um, heard you were going on missions lately" you begin, gulping a few times. "Um, yeah..." he trailed, looking away. "I just want to thank you, Demyx, I know why you're trying so hard."
He smiled at you. Feeling less awkward, you walk closer to him and place a hand on his shoulder. "And I also want to apologize. I never should have said all those horrible things to you. I was just so upset, I wasn't quite thinking."
His face fell at your words. "Listen, you were right about everything you said. Honestly, please don't apologize. Because of you, I want to try and make myself whole again." He placed his hands on your shoulders tenderly.
"Demyx, no" you simply say. "You shouldn't be doing this for me, I don't need any favors. You should do this for you, for yourself so you can feel again!" you proclaim.
"Xaria!" he finally yelled, passion in his eyes. "I can't help but do this for you..." he muttered. Your eyes began to glaze over as tears threatened to spill for the thousandth time this month. "Why, oh why are you doing this to me?" you ask.
He seemed just as determined to say whatever it was that was bothering him. "I'm trying to get my self a heart because lately I feel as if I can't go on without one. You're all that's in my head, night and day... and it drives me crazy that I know I can't have you because of what I am!" he confessed.
You clamped a hand to your mouth. You could not hear this right now. "Xaria, this... this sense of warmth I get, it's so foreign to me! But I think I know what it is..." You began shaking your head, it was the exact same feeling you got every time he simply walked into a room.
"I want to get a heart so that you'll believe me when I tell you that..." he trailed off, looking deep into your eyes. "...tell you that I lo-" You couldn't bear to hear him say it, so you silenced him the only way you knew how.
As your lips came crashing down upon his, everything felt right. A feeling of heat surged through you like you've never felt before. Your heart was practically beating out of your chest as you and Demyx parted ways.
Nobody or not, you could no longer deny your feelings for him. Tears spilled from your eyes and you pressed your arms to his chest. He looked down at you surprised, but a sheepish smile soon replaced that.
Neither one of you spoke, yet both of you had come to a secret understanding. Pressing your head gently to his chest, you closed your eyes. In the silence, one loud sound got your attention. Your eyes widened in surprised. "Demyx, what the hell is that?"
