KH: Shooting Ripples

Shooting ripples

Xigbar sat at the edge of the lake right behind the Castle that never was. He was polishing his gun, looking for heartless to practice on. He looked into the water. All he saw was his glaring reflection. The strange scar crossing his cheek and his eye patch covering his other bright yellow eye.  His black and gray streaked hair fell in a pony-tail behind him. He frowned at his reflection and shot at it. Water came spurting up, splashing his scared, thin face.   How could anyone love someone that looks like me? He would ask himself. Sitting by the water was the closet he was ever going to get to his crush.
Number IX, the Melodious Nocturne, Demyx, sat on the small outlook right behind the lake. He stared blankly out into the water. His mind was on other things. Things that he shouldn’t but couldn’t help thinking about. The scared face of the man he was in love with floated in front of his bright cerulean blue eyes. His blond mullet waved slightly in the wind. Only when water randomly splashed him did he wake up. He shook his head and looked around. He saw Xigbar sitting by the water. He felt a blush cross his pale cheeks. How long has he been sitting there? He thought as he took a step down the stairs that lead to the small garden right by the lake. He summoned his sitar. The blue instrument was his only weapon. He looked at Xigbar. He was glaring at his reflection. Demyx frowned slightly. He’s mad. he thought as he strummed gently at the strings of his instilment thinking of something that he would give to Xigbar. The water that was beside him started to form a rose in the water. He slid it towards Xigbar silently. He would hopefully see it.
Xigbar spotted something moving towards him slowly in the water. He held up his gun ready to shot it when he saw that it was a rose formed out of water. He looked at him smiling slightly. The rose bloomed and the stem grew so that the watery blossom was face level with Xigbar. He looked at the blossom closely. He smiled again.  “Got you to smile.” Came Demyx’s voice. Xigbar jumped up, the rose disappearing, falling back into the water with a small splash. He jumped up to fine the blond standing about ten feet away. “Dude! You scared me!” Xigbar said as a blush crossed his face. Demyx smiled and laughed, or more giggled, a bit. “Sorry, what do you think though?” he asked walking over to Xigbar. “Of what?” He asked. “The flower silly!” Demyx laughed. “Oh!” Xigbar put his hand on the back of his head. “It’s nice, you’re getting pretty good at that.” He smiled at the blond happily.
Demyx stopped when he was standing right next to Xigbar. “I have a few more tricks up my sleeve.” He said smiling at the long haired man. He tried to be as settle as he could as he flirted with the man. He couldn’t help but to say he was in love with Xigbar. He saw the blush cross Xigbar’s face. “Want to see a few?” He asked innocently. Xigbar smiled. “Sure, why not, what else you got?” Demyx started to strum the strings of the instrument again. The water started to form something that he wish it didn’t. Two figures appeared, intertwining. He yelled out and stopped playing the instrument and dropped his weapon. He covered his mouth before he could let out a gasp. He looked at Xigbar who was still staring wide eyed at the spot where the water figures of he and Demyx had stood. His hand still behind his head. There was a long silence and Xigbar looked at Demyx, his face pinker then the scar that was on his face. “Does…. That come from… what your….thinking?” he asked quietly. Demyx blushed and nodded. “How did you know?” he asked even quieter than Xigbar, who smiled at him, taking Demxy’s hand off of his mouth and leaning in close to him. “It was a hunch.” He said as he kissed Demyx on the lips. Demyx’s eyes winded at The Freeshooter’s move. But he soon his eyes closed and he felt his arms wrap around the taller mans neck. As Xigbar pulled away for air, Demyx felt a blush cross his face again. “I’m sorry…” Xigbar said looking away, trying to hide his blush. “I have no clue where that came from.” Demyx just smiled lightly and pulled Xigbar into a deep kiss. Xigbar was just as surprised at this as Demyx had been with him. When they finally surfaced for air, both of them were redder than ever before. “I… I… er… um…” Demyx stuttered. Xigbar just smiled at him and pulled the blond into a hug. “You worry too much little dude. You need to learn how to…” he started to gently rub his shoulders. “Relax.” This however didn’t help the water lover at all. Demyx just jumped and fell over, right into the water. Xigbar laughed and held out his hand to the now soaked Demyx. “Come on, it’s late, why don’t we go inside and get some sleep?” Demyx blushed and started to stutter again. Xigbar just laughed. “I didn’t mean like that. We can just cuddle.” Demyx smiled. “I would like that.” He reached up for Xigbar’s hand.

((The Next day))

“So…” Axel said as he dropped his head over the arm of the chair that he was sprawled out sideways in to look at Xigbar upside down. Xigbar was looking out the window, a, upside-down book was in his hand, ready to drop out on to the floor. “Xigbar.” Luxord sang slightly, looking the free shooter in the eye.  Xigbar jumped back, yelling out. The book went flying across the room and Xigbar landed on his back on the ground. “WHAT!” he yelled slightly looking up at the gambler and the red head. Axel smiled at he got out of his chair and stood over Xigbar. “I hear you and the little diet coke slept together last night.” Xigbar cocked an eyebrow. Luxord stood on the other side of him. “You know.” He made huge eyes. “Little Demyx.” He held his hands together under his chin. Xigbar snarled and sat up, rubbing his head. “Yeah well, you’re wrong.” He stood up only to almost to be knocked back over by both Axel and Luxord throwing their arms around his shoulders. “Come on now buddy.” Axel said with a smirk. “You can trust us.” Xigbar looked from the smirking Axel to the keen eyed Luxord. He sighed and pushed them off. “Look, guys, There is nothing going on between Demyx  and I.” and with that last hot note, he disappeared with a puff of black smoke. Axel and Luxord looked at each over, wide smiles on both their faces. "Demyx?" Axel asked with a smirk.
"Demyx." Luxord agreed and they both ran off to find the young water boy.
