Legacy of a Star Child

Chapter 13: Lifestyles of the Young and Reckless

-Demyx had just returned home from a night out. What his organization did not know about him, was he was actually a famous pop star back home where he had lived as a somebody. He kept this fact a secret of course, he did not need them sticking there noses into his business, just in case things fell flat and he needed to make a clean escape from this joint. Demyx didn't trust most of these idiots as far as he could throw them, and without a heart he had struggled with building any attachment to 90% of them. He was concerned much more with returning to his old life, and because of that, he had to guarantee he still had a life to come home to. He had to keep up with record deals, keeping himself relevant in the media, signing for concert tours, he was a busy little water wielder was what he was. Lazy? Ha! Let them think what they wanted, he was a go getter, and he could care less what any of them thought all because he wouldn't play there silly little hierarchy games in a castle that no one even gave a shit about. He hoped that Roxas really intended to keep his promise, he kinda liked the kid. Part of him wanted to feel bad for using him, since he knew for a fact that was literally all anyone did here, but honestly, he couldn't be worrying about that right now, he had shit to do, and he'd be sure to make it up to the kid later. The nocturne was coming back from a high society party, dressed in designer clothes and a bit too drunk for his own good. Demyx was a terrible light weight when it came to drinking, and he had been lucky he was smart enough to walk away for the evening before he ended up black out drunk and in the bed of some hot guy. There had been sooooo many of them to choose from too. He giggled as he wandered in through the portal, his loyal assistant Dancer nobody was curled up fast asleep on his bed. As much as girls made him uncomfortable, he trusted that one for some reason. A dancer whom couldn't remember her name, he had promised her that when he decided to leave this shit hole, that for her loyalty he planned to take care of her for the rest of her life, it was the least he could do. She reminded him of a woman whom did the same for him, almost 7 years ago. Back when he was a real nobody, not just a metaphorical one.-

Heehee, Dancy Pants I'm baaacccckkkk~

-Cooed Demyx as he staggered in from his darkness portal. This snapped the dancer nobody awake and she sat up, adjusting her hat, she gasped and sprang to her feet like a bunny and slip slided to his side.-

Boss! You aren't wearing your robe! Its dangerous to go through the portals without it!

Hee-hee oh come on don't be a pill Dancy, I'll be fine!

No, you are drunk.

Naaahhh me? Drunk? What gives you that idea?

-The loyal follower of the irresponsible singer sighed as they grabbed him roughly by the arm like an annoyed girlfriend and dragged him over to the bed as the portal shut behind them.-

Xaldin was around looking for you, I can't keep covering for you like this, you need to be more careful, I think he's catching on to you.

Oh that old wind bag!? Ha! Let em snoop, what's he gonna do, blow his wind up my ass?...actually I might kind of like that.

-The dancer groaned and rubbed at her face grumbling.-

What am I going to do with you boss, you're such a head ache.

Mmm I guess.

-The boyish 26 year old cooed as he curled up with a yawn on his bed, dragging his dancer friend down with him, he muttered.-

There were so many pretty boys Dancy, you should have seen them.

-The dancer shook her head with a sigh, smirking.-

Boys huh? Not like any boy would want me looking like this...

If I liked girls I would!

Yeah but you don't like girls.

Fiiinnneee.

-Demyx pouted and huffed in his drunkeness, sighing cutely.-

Thankie for dealing with wind bag, what I owe you for it?

Being more careful? Weird things were going on tonight. There's some new person that Vexen brought in, little thing, they must be really new, hasn't said a word. Then I thought I overheard the big wigs saying something about finding a girl from somewhere, everyone's keeping it all hush hush though.

-Demyx grinned as he closed his eyes giggling.-

Nosey, you always have been good at finding the best information when I'm not home.

Yeah but when you are home you find even better stuff. How did the concert go?

It was ok, ugh... yeah, I think you are right.. I drank a bit too much... starting to sober up... I need some aspirin, and water. I'll be back ok?

-He cooed cutely as he got up and wobbled to the closet, snatching up his organization robe, he wouldn't be caught dead out in the open in his nice clothes where someone could observe. He slid on and zipped up the robe grumbling as he began out of the room. The dancer nobody sighed and shook her head watching the other go. Demyx attempted to sneak along to the kitchen without anyone noticing him, though it was kind of hard to do that when you have double vision and are lightly knocking into walls. He grunted as he finally made it over to the medication cabinet kept in the furthest portion of the kitchen near the cleaning supplies and wash sink for dishes. Xaldin didn't want the medications near the food, though Demyx found it ridiculous that they were kept near the chemicals. He got a glass of water and popped open the bottle of aspirin he had acquired, only to yelp and freeze as a strong hand clamped onto his shoulder roughly.-

Where have you been all night? You know about the protocol involving members whom skip meals.

You always this much of a blow hard even at 3 am?

-Demyx squeaked as Xaldin, whom was indeed the person bitching at him at 3 am. He gripped even harsher on the boys shoulder.-

You really have no regard or respect for anyone in this castle do you?

I respect myself, does that count?

No, it doesn't. I will be talking with Xemnas and we will be discussing a proper punishment in the morning...why do you smell like cheap vodka and men's cologne?

Can we drop this conversation? My head hurts and so will my arm if you keep holding it like that.

-Xaldin scowled and let the trouble maker go. He scoffed.-

So, you've been skipping out on meals to go drinking... reckless brat.

Oh come on, everyone does it and you know it. You think I never saw you and 2 sneaking home after a night on the town? So go ahead, tell 1, try me.

-Xaldin paused, startled, staring at the younger man, he then cleared his throat, now a bit embarrassed.-

...I expect you up early in few hours to help me with dishes.

...Fine.

-Demyx yanked from Xaldins grip, tossed the aspirin in his mouth, closed the bottle, and gingerly sipped his water while looking over at Xaldin defiantly. He then turned up his nose, returned the bottle to the cabinet, poured out his cup, rinsed it, then put it in the strainer before flittering right past the older man. Xaldin had the grumpiest expression the whole time the boy moved, and only groaned and ran a gloved hand over his own face once Demyx was gone.-

Fucking brat...

-He had never realized Demyx was that observant, and it now made him curious what else Demyx was overly aware of.-
