This story is so adorable. I love how believable your characters and characterizations are. I especially love your descriptions of how Zexion's feelings for Demyx evolved in their childhood. It's so tragic and pretty.
My only remote objection to this story is that some of the lines make Zexion sound a little bit like a creeper, although I suppose that since the premise is Zexion watching Demyx change at night that sounding a little creepy is going to be inevitable.

That being said, I've reread this story about ten times now and think it might be my favorite Zemyx on . I love it :)

Own, that was just the best. x3

Ahh! The angst! The delicious angst! 8D
This is so well written and so captivating, I am in awe, it’s incredibly emotional and intense.
‘Every new friendship was one new person for Demyx to smile at.’
I loved that bit, you described how Zexion wants Demyx to treat him apart from others in a really good way.
it’s just so true! You do loose friends growing up and that really hit home and you
‘“So much,” he hissed’
…I think my heart might possibly have stopped then…anyway, I was definitely holding my breath! You are such a good writer, and so good at fanfiction! You really bring the characters to life and give them completely believable and fitting personalities but they are also very original with your own fantastic style. Love this, your writing keeps me sane and keeps me loving kingdom hearts!!

…sane might be pushing it…

*chuckle* It's funny. I used to be totally set against any pairings of Organization 13 together, thinking that it was stupid of people to shove characters together and made them homosexual just because they wanted two handsome young men to experience love.

But then I read your dissertation on the Zemyx shipping. And what amused/amazed me was that it made so much practical sense. You pretty much changed my mind completely about a pairing that I used to hate because of how it usually portrayed Zexion and Demyx, who are my favorite Organization members.

I thought the pairing just encouraged emo interpretations of Zexion and immature interpretations of Demyx, instead of there being fanfictions and works of art that could use the actual personalities of both in a way that made them seem perfectly acceptable as a couple.

Good job on your part, I usually cling to my beliefs much more stubbornly that that. But it was a well-written dissertation, so I guess it makes sense after all that I would concede.

Tying this into the story I just read, even though it was AU it still held true to the actual personalities of Zexion and Demyx in the game that I enjoyed so much. And the smooth way you write makes it seem so organic and natural that Zexion and Demyx should be together, to the point where by the end of the one-shot I was elated that Demyx returned Zexion's feelings.

So yeah. I really liked this and some of the other Zemyx stories you suggested, I think because all of them made the relationship more than a fling and much more than about lust or appearances. This one especially kept a certain maturity about the characters that I enjoy, because even when Demyx is crying he's commenting that he's and adult, and adults don't cry.

Think I'm going to cut myself off before this review gets even more obscenely long than it already is. Lovely story, and I'm now intrigued about reading more of this pariring.

A fic of pure sweetness ^_^

I really love your stuff, thanks for the awesome read

It sucks noodles to be in love with your best friend, it really does.
:D Amazing fic... Your stories always make my heart hurt and then do the macarena.

I love how you write these two. Just so wonderful.

aww i love it =D

I loved the way you characterized Zexion in this fic. His love was just... so pure, so chaste (er.. mostly...? XD), and so wholehearted to the point that it made me feel pained to see Demyx seemingly so oblivious. Though Zexion may have had certain unpure and unchaste intentions towards and thoughts about Dem (who in love wouldn't have these kinds of thoughts? XD), I found it just... really touching that Zexion, at his spiritual core, at the utmost bottom of his heart, truly loves Demyx with all his heart, soul, and love, almost heartrendingly so. To see Zexion loving Demyx so much... gah, it's fics like this one that make me wish people in real life were as awesome as people in fanfiction. ;D

I cannot honestly describe how ecstatic I am with this fan fiction.
It is imply a work of genius, and If I could, I would give you a million dollars to claim that I wrote it.
However, I couldn't, even if I had the money and you had agreed.
Nothing this beautiful could ever come from this jumbled and tumbled mess I call my mind, and it would be out of place, far to out of place.
The writing style is to graceful to be mine, the articulation, you could call it, the tempo, is to well thought out, the dialog, it to much of a perfect mix between fantasy and reality, the description is to vivid, the story to clear, to beautiful.
I just, I couldn't produce it, and I couldn't bring myself to lie about producing it. I couldn't bring myself to say that it was my mind that had such a clear understanding of the characters. I couldn't bring myself to say that it was I who had such a grip on reality while still staying in touch with fantasy. I couldn't bear lying to someone who thought this piece was my own. I wouldn't dare tell someone this was a poorly written piece of work. I can't even think of one correction to make. I shouldn't probably be typing this mush with my tired fingers, but I can't bring myself to stop praising this. I feel as if I could, and very well would and should type for hours on end attempting to write you how happy this piece made me, how glad I am to have read this, how I feel I can now die happy now having read this.
I can't tell you how many times I have wished to have piece this popular, be it a fan fiction, a poem, a photograph.
I really just couldn't tell you.
I'm not sure I could even begin to try.

*jaw drops* I feel like I'm going to cry! Your stories have that sort of affect on people, it looks like. So, I'm not the only one who feels like this.

What movie were they watching? It reminded me of when I was at a sleepover at my friend's house. We were all crammed into one room, but we were crammed comfortably.

All in all, I have to say that it couldn't be better. Everything was perfect: The flow, the style, the meaning...I can't discribe it. I've been struck speechless for about the third time today.

Keep up the phenomenal writing!

AND HERE IS ANOTHER APOLOGY WITH A REVIEW TO BOOT. :)

I loved the way Zexion is trying so hard to not be selfish- even though he loves Demyx and he thinks it's not mutual- but it's like he tries to protect Demyx from his own love for him, because Dem thinks they're just friends. And i love the way he really really loves him, to an excruciating degree of devotion. It's totally vintage-romance, KH style. ;D

~reviewed!nush ;)

I loved this. seriously. I love how much Zexion cares about Demyx, how much he is willing to give up for him just to be by his side. and i think its great that Demyx feels that way back. I did wonder one thing though--did Demyx make up his mom falling down the stairs just to get Zexion to confess? cause that wouldn't be cool...
Anyways, I loved this story and I am totally reading more of your stuff right now!

Oh how my heart ached for Zexion! I'm going to read Kisses now, but this was definitely one of those extremely well-written stories that indeed are rare. Thank you so much!
