1-My Someone 2

Noises of laughter and the general clattering of dishes filled the space of the palace. Butlers and maids hustled around, serving a variety of foods and drink. This was the last place Xigbar thought they’d end up after the Organization came on the request of IX.

After arriving in the beach-side town, they had unexpectedly run into someone from Demyx’s past, Ariel. Apparently, she had fallen in love with this prince guy, and had got her dad to turn her into a human so they could be together. Now she lived in the castle along with everyone else. Once she had seen her long-lost friend, she had insisted that they stay for a while. As if that wasn’t coincidental enough, it just so happened that within the week they had opted to stay, Demyx’s, or rather, Myde’s birthday came up. Now he was in the castle, sitting alone, during a full blown birthday party for the Nocturne. Only problem was…no Nocturne.

Thoroughly concerned, the princess had asked Xigbar to go and check to make sure everything was alright. A bit relieved, the scared man hoisted himself out of his chair and took off towards the guest quarters just across from the castle.

As he walked through the soft sand, listening to the waves wash back and forth, he also picked out the soft strumming of a guitar. He looked up, a good few feet from the guest quarters, to see the birthday boy himself sitting on the edge of his balcony staring at the ocean. There was something about him that just made everything around the man feel serine and calm. The way he was sitting there, so carefree, to that longing look in his sea green eyes. It seemed almost…. sad. Now that wasn’t like Demyx.

Deciding to break the musician out of his current glum, the Freeshooter took a pace forward and called up to the boy, “Hey, Demyx!”

The blonde glanced his way and happily jumped down onto the sand with an adorable little ‘Coming, Xiggy!’. The man couldn’t help but laugh at the other’s attempt to run in the sand. Man…he sure could be cute sometimes. “Well, hurry up, little dude! The rest of those kill-joys are gonna turn the party into a drag if we don’t get there to pump it up!”

The boy caught up to the eye patched man and jokingly pushed him aside, throwing a taunting challenge over his shoulder. “Come on, slow poke! Don’t tell me you’re too old to keep up in a race! Haha!” His smile spread as Xigbar was still a bit surprised that musician got out of his gloom so quickly.

Realization dawned on Xigbar’s face as he heard the last words from the blonde. A mischievous grin crossed his face as he dashed after the other man. “Ha! As if! There’s nothin’ ‘too old’ about me, little dude!” Man, the boy was fast…even running in the sand! Wait a minute, why am I running? I can control space! “Hahaahaha! Try and keep up with this, little dude!”

He could see Demyx turn around to where he used to be, looking around confusedly. How cute. He couldn’t help but think. “What’s takin’ ya so long?!”

He teased the boy as he made an indignant face upon seeing him already there on the cliff. In his fit of laughing, he had almost missed it when IX yelled out a very loud “Dance, water, dance!” The poor sniper man barely had time to stop laughing as a huge wall of water engulfed him. “Hey! What was that for, dude?! You better take your sweet time getting up here, cuz once you do, you’re in for it!” he yelled in mock anger. There was just no way to stay mad for too long, not with those innocent childish eyes looking up at him.

He watched as the blonde made his way up to the cliff and helped haul him up. The two started to walk towards the palace when Xigbar started up a conversation with the little rock star to break the almost awkward silence.

“So, little dude, what’s up with you being M.I.A. during the party?”

The blonde looked at hi , tilting his head a bit in confusion. So cute. “M.I.A.?”

“Heh heh, “ he chuckled at his expression, “Means ‘missing in action’, dude.”

“Oh…” Demyx turned away, blushing at his own ignorance, “Well…I donno.”

Alright, something was up. “Hey, come on, kid. What’s up?”

“Well…I just…it doesn’t really feel like my birthday, ya know?”

Ah, so it was that. “Yeah…” He really didn’t know what to say to cheer up the hyperactive blonde. They walked a little farther in silence, until an other idea came to Xigbar. It may just be the stupidest thing ever, but it was worth a try…

“How ‘bout…” He trailed off as Demyx looked up to him, a bit of hope in those sea green eyes of his. “Heh…How ‘bout the day I met you…that’s your new birthday.” There, he’d said it. Now ,he just had to wait for the kid to make of this ‘touchy-feely’ comment. The scared man jumped a little as he felt, not a taunting remark, but two arms wrap around his waist, along with the Nocturne snuggling close to him.

“Thanks so much, Xiggy! You’re so nice sometimes!” There was the start of tears welling up in the young man’s eyes.

DUDE, why does he have to be so # cute!? That was the only thing the gunner could think while the boy had a firm grip around him. He slowly came back to reality, however, and took a while to process what kid had said. “Hey!” he shouted a bit indignantly, “ What do you I’m nice ‘sometimes’?!”

“Heh he!” The men laughed together “I meant just what I said, Xiggy! You silly!”

The two chased each other all the way to the castle and into the ballroom where the party was. Demyx spent the whole time next to Xigbar, much to the latter’s delight, and when the party ended, jokingly whispered in II’s ear.

“You know, your promise does mean I get another birthday party on my new birthday.” He giggled as Xigbar gave an expression of mock anger.

Heh, if it meant spending more nights like this with the Nocturne, he’d give him a thousand birthday parties.
