Awkward First Kiss

. xxx .

Physical attraction wasn't uncommon to a nobody. It required no heart to notice that something or someone looked good. So maybe thats why Zexion didn't mind as Demyx seemed to scoot closer to him. Demyx wasn't necessarily bad looking. A few strands of dirty blond hair fell over his vibrant green eyes. His face wasn't really round, but had more of a sharp edge to it. His melodious voice was one that could get stuck in anyones head for hours. But that was to be expected with hows much he practiced his singing.

The two of them sat in the library of the Castle That Never Was together like they have done on many days before. Zexion doing his research, and Demyx just eagerly filling up his time doodling on a piece of paper or flipping a page of Zexion's book for him.

The lilac haired teen tried to ignore the fact that Demyx was so close that their hips began to touch. The Nocturne sweetly claimed that it was because he was trying to read the book over his shoulder.

Demyx, while being oddly awkward and clumsy at time, wasn't a bad person to be around. He was polite, genuinely caring and loved the company of others over anything.

They had made an equally awkward pair of friends after Demyx joined the Organization and Zexion really didn't mind his company at all... When he was quiet anyway. Demyx just seemed to like being in the company of Number six as well. But Zexion found that recently Demyx began to get more then too close for comfort.

Zexion pushed his reading glasses further up on his nose, trying to ignore the heat being breathed down his neck.

“Are you done with that book yet Zex?” Demyx had been asking for the past hour... Finally he had given in. Zexion slammed the book shut, seeing as thats what the blond wanted so badly anyway.

“So?” Zexion's voice had an air of impatience about it.

“So-er...” Demyx seemed to shift in his seat, giving off a hint of nervousness.

Without hesitation, and what seemed like little thought, Demyx leaned into Zexion, his mouth directed at Zexion's cheek. Before he reached his target, the side of Zexion's glasses collided with Demyx's eye, causing the musician to reel back in pain.

“Are you alright?” Zexion looked over at the blond with little care in his voice

“Yeah, fine. I just-”

Zexion removed his glasses, his mind just registering the evidence. If his glasses hadn't acted as a roadblock, Demyx's lips would have connected with Zexion's cheek. He shifted a bit just as Demyx had done before.

“Wa-wait... Did you just try... what I think you tried?”

Demyx seemed to fall silent, a deep blush running across his face. “Yeah, but it didn't work, so I'll go now...” He seemed more embarrassed then ashamed that his quick kiss plan failed due to his clumsy nature. As he got up to leave, Zexion stood up and his hand shot out to stop him.

He bit his lip, not to sure himself why he stopped Demyx or what he was going to say next. They stood there with their hands connected for a moment in an awkward silence. Demyx finally pulled his hand away from Zexion's, moving a bit closer to the shorter nobody on his own free will.

“Do you...maybe wanna try again?” Demyx rubbed the back of his neck, pretty sure that Zexion's answer would be no. He was after all Demyx's polar opposite... Why would he ever say:

“Y-yeah.”

Demyx looked up quickly, making sure he heard correctly. “Y-you really want to?” His bubbly personality returning.

Awkwardly, Zexion took a step towards the water wielder to show his willingness. Demyx equally as awkward, placed his hands on the other boys hips. They leaned towards each other, both pairs of eyes tightly closed in anticipation of what was to come.

“Ow.” Zexion pulled away quickly as he felt their noses collide together.

“I'm so sorry!” Demyx began to apologize repeatedly. “I-I forgot t-that I needed to tilt my head...” His blush had grown even worse then when they began. Zexion reassured him that it was just a mistake. His nose was sensitive, but something as small as a bump wasn't going to leave any lasting damage.

“Just tilt your head this time.” Zexion moved close to Demyx again, willing to give the kiss a third try. By now he was determined to make this work. If nothing else, the past failed attempts sparked a certain drive in him now. The lilac haired teen wasn't one that took well to failure. His hand cupped Demyx's chin as he directed the blonds head to tilt a bit. This time, Zexion kept his eyes open so he could watch for any possible errors. Their lips were just inches a part, the familiar warmth of the musicians breath heated the illusionist lips, sending a shiver down his spine. He felt his eyes slowly drooping against his own will.

His eyes were almost fully shut when the door to the library burst open. Zexion quickly pushed Demyx off of him as if nothing was happening.

Xigbar popped his head into the room “Zexion, Xemnas wants you up in his office, pronto!” Just as quickly as he came, he was gone, and the two equally embarrassed teens were once again alone.

“You should go before he gets mad...” Demyx's eyes seemed to shift around the whole room, but not once did they fall back onto Zexion. The illusionist nodded, finally managing to calm the butterflies building up in the pit of his stomach. He turned to leave Demyx, just managing to reach the door.

Before another moment passed, Demyx ran to catch up with Zexion. He threw his arms around the other nobody, catching him in a heated kiss.

There was no hint of his awkwardness. No nose bumping or objects in the way to stop him from what he wanted.. The smaller nobodies body pinned against the wall as their lips locked. Zexion's hands managed to find their way to Demyx's waist, a knot in his stomach twisting until he got comfortable with the closeness. One of Demyx's hand greedily tightened around Zexion's cloak as their lips pressed harder against the others.. The exchange seemed to go on for a few moments before Demyx pulled away with a lopsided smile on his face. Zexion still in shock, used the wall to balance himself.

“Well that was interesting...” A familiar voice hung above the twosome. Hovering just above them on the ceiling was Xigbar, his arms crossed and a satisfied smirk on his face. “The superior really wants that report now Zexion.”

Based on a real life event XD

I wear glasses, so I've had romantic moments ruined because of them.

Anyway,

The title of my oneshot collection is inspired by the song “Swallowed in the Sea” by Coldplay. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of Demyx and Zexion. And with that, enjoy my collection! I'll update whenever I write a new one.
