Zexion saw the blonde leave the bathroom and Zexion immediately turned his back so that the blonde wouldn't think that he was spying on him. Zexion turned though as he heard the blonde ask him if everything was alright. Before he could stop himself from saying something he said,"I'm fine... is everything fine with you?" Zexion knew that something was wrong with his lover and he wanted to know now.

Demyx froze when he heard Zexion's question. So the shorter Nobody did notice something was off about the blond... He took a deep breath and put a smile on his face. "Everything's fine!" he exclaimed, making his voice sound happy. "Why do you ask?" The last thing he wanted was for Zexion to find out that he's been feeling sick more and more frequently. That would most definitely result in him having to go see the doctor.

Zexion could tell immediately that the blonde was faking happiness. It was too forced. Walking towards Demyx he placed his hand on the taller Nobody's shoulder. "I know that-," said Zexion. He couldn't even bring himself to say that the other male was lying to him, but that was the only thing that could explain what was going on. Shaking his head he looked at him again and said,"Nevermind, we'll talk about this some other time. We need to finish painting, but don;t think that you are off the hook yet. We are going to talk about this."

Demyx frowned lightly. He could tell that Zexion knew that he was lying and the blond was really starting to hate himself. But he couldn't bring himself to admit it to the one he loved. He wiped the look off his face and replaced it with a smile as he nodded. "Alright. I'm done with the outlining now if you want to start on the blue." he said, going over to the paint and picking up his paintbrush. He wasn't looking forward to their upcoming talk, but he knew that it had to happen sooner or later.

Zexion saw the look in the blonde's eyes. It was the look of complete terror. He knew that he was right. He had cornered Demyx. He felt bad about doing it, but if it had something to do with the blonde's health then cornering was something that he had to do. Walking back into the library he began painting what he could as he tried to get his mind off of the upcoming conversation that the two of them would be sharing.

Demyx stayed silent as he started on painting the clouds, adding various shades of blue mixed with white to make them seem more life-like. He went slowly, trying to draw out the time that he spent painting, hoping to stall the conversation. But he knew that was pointless. Once they went to bed, there was no avoiding it. Unless he slept in the other room... But that might make Zexion think that he didn't want to be with him anymore... So with that thought in mind, the blond decided to get the painting done quickly and effectively and he was going to still sleep in the same room as his lover... If he wanted him to, that is.

Zexion continued to paint on the other side of his room trying to keep his mind off of Demyx and their upcoming conversation. He felt bad now for saying something, thinking that it might have been better if he hadn't had said anything at all. Zexion finished part of the wall as he put down his brush and went towards the blonde as he went and hugged the blonde from behind.

It didn't take long for Demyx to get absorbed in his painting, pushing the upcoming conversation to the back of his mind. He didn't hear the shorter man's footsteps coming up behind him, but he couldn't ignore the arms that wrapped around him. He froze for just a half-second, forgetting where he was for just a moment before he relaxed. He turned his head to look at his lover and he smiled lightly. "Hey~ You done?" he asked.

Zexion smiled at the blonde as he said,"Ya for now. It's kind of dumb given the fact that we are both in the same room, but I got kind of lonely," said Zexion as he looked into the blonde's eyes trying to search them for something, anything that might lead him down the path as to figuring out what was wrong with his lover.

Demyx smiled lightly and wrapped his arms around Zexion. "I'm sorry. The last thing I want is for you to feel lonely." he said. He leaned down and lightly kissed the shorter Nobody on the forehead as he held him close .But with them being so close together, it made the thought of their upcoming conversation come to his mind and worry washed through him. He didn't want to say that he's been feeling horrible. He did not want to go to the hospital.

Zexion smiled as he felt the blonde's lips on him. He knew what he was doing though as he accepted the kiss, but then pulled away and looked at Demyx as a serious look fell upon his features. He began leading him over to the furniture that was in the center of the room. "Come sit with me," said Zexion. "I know you don't want to talk about this, but there is something wrong. I just want us to be happy, and if one of us is unwell, then we are not happy. Please tell me, I care about you."

Demyx frowned lightly for just a moment when he saw the serious look on Zexion's face. So they were having their talk now? He wiped his face to a neutral expression as he followed his lover to the furniture. He took a seat next to the shorter Nobody and dropped his gaze to the ground. He debated whether or not he should tell the truth. He decided against lying, knowing already that Zexion would probably tell if he wasn't telling the truth. The blond lifted his gaze to look at his lover and shrugged. "It's nothing really... I just haven't been feeling too good."

Zexion listened to the blonde tell him that it was nothing. He rolled his eyes as he softly glared at the taller Nobody. He knew that he was lying. "Nothing to worry about! Nothing to worry about!" thought Zexion. It was his job to worry about his lover. How the hell was he supposed to care about someone that lied to him. He tried to rationalize it, but whatever way it turned out what it boiled down to Demyx was lying to him. "Dems," said Zexion as he took the blonde's hand in his own. "I know that it is more than nothing. I pretend not to hear, but I do hear you retching in the bathroom. How long has this been going on for?"

Demyx flinched slightly at the sight of Zexion's glare. Yeah, he had been used to it back at the castle before they were together, but it had always hurt. Now that they're together, it just made it worse. The blond's gaze dropped to the ground in shame. Of course Zexion had heard him. Why had he even bothered hiding it? "... Since the first time I threw up in the castle that one time." he muttered, unable to lift his gaze to look at his lover. "It only happens occasionally, so I didn't think it was a big deal."

Zexion looked at his lover as he wrapped his arms around him, bringing him into a tight hug. "I am sorry that I came off as being mad at you. It is true that I am mad at you since you lied to me, but I know that you didn't want me to worry about you." He stopped for a moment as he looked at his blonde lover again. "By the way why don't you like going to the hospital. They help you there you know."

Demyx relaxed when Zexion had hugged him, glad that his lover wasn't mad at him anymore. He froze though when he heard the question. Could he admit why he hated hospitals? Or lie? The blond knew he couldn't bring himself to lie to the shorter man again, so he forced his body to relax as he sighed. "I know that they're supposed to help..." he said, thinking. "But... the doctor I went to as a somebody made me very uncomfortable and liked touching me more than necessary. I'm pretty sure he was a pedophile."

Zexion listened to the blonde suddenly feeling bad that he had asked that question when he heard the blonde respond to him in regards to why he hated hospitals. "I see," said Zexion. "That doesn't change the fact that you need to see someone. Honey, this isn't normal. What if I found someone that was willing to come to the house. Would you be more comfortable doing that?" He knew that it was a slim chance, but since Twilight Town was a rather small place he knew that there was a higher chance that there were visiting doctors and not hospitals.

Demyx thought about Zexion's offer. That would be better.... And he'd be more comfortable if he was here, at their home. So he nodded his head slowly. "Yeah. I would really prefer that." he said. He wondered for just a moment if whoever came over would be someone he knew, but he knew that the chances were slim. After all, all his Somebody friends avoiding the hospital just as much as he did. And even if this doctor was someone he knew, the chances that he'd be recognized were slim.

Zexion nodded to himself, glad that the blonde liked his idea. He was glad that he was willing to see a doctor. If he was sick, or hurt, then the best idea was to go and see a doctor. "I am glad that you want to see a doctor," said Zexion as he snuggled into Demyx's arms. "I am so sorry that you are not feeling well." He turned his head to look at Demyx as he smiled lightly at the other male. "Please tell me that we can stay like this forever."

Demyx nodded, even though he wasn't exactly looking forward to seeing a doctor. But if it would make Zexion happy, then he'd go and see a doctor. The blond smiled lightly when his lover snuggled into his arms and he tightened his hold on the shorter male, holding him close. He nodded his head and leaned forward to press a kiss to his lover's forehead. "We can stay like this for as long as you want." he promised.

Zexion smiled as he felt the blonde kiss him lightly on his forehead. He heard Demyx say that they could stay this way for as long as he wanted. Zexion snuggled into the blonde more as he let out a soft sigh. "I could stay like this forever, but I know that we can't." This time he sighed out a little in frustration because he knew that they needed to go and sleep in their own beds, together. Breathing in the paint fumes wasn't good, besides they also needed to close the rest of the paint cans before they hardened.

Demyx sighed, knowing Zexion had a point. They couldn't stay like this forever. The paint fumes would start to go to their heads and that would not be good. "Alright.. We should just go to bed then and just finish up tomorrow." he said. He kept his arms tight around the shorter male as he stood, keeping him in his arms. He headed out of the room towards their bedroom and deposited Zexion on the bed before going back to the library to close the paint cans. He didn't want them ruined by morning. Once down, the blond turned and went back to the bedroom and laid down on the bed.

Zexion felt himself being lifted up into the blonde's arms. He was about to say something in protest, but then stopped when he decided that he really needed this right now. He snuggled into the blonde's shoulder as he let out a sigh of pure contentment. He felt himself being placed down on the bed, though, and then he cried out, this time in frustration. He looked up as he saw the blonde leave the room for a moment, but then he came right back in a few more minutes. He felt Demyx's body on the bed, and he rolled over and embraced him in a hug before slipping off to sleep.

Demyx smiled lightly when Zexion had hugged him once he laid back down. He wrapped his arm slowly around his lover, pulling him closer and closed his eyes. It took a few minutes before the blond finally started to drift off to sleep. An uncomfortable feeling was starting to grow in his stomach, but it wasn't bad enough that he needed to get up. But even if he had to get up, he wouldn't be able too. Zexion's embrace was warm and he didn't want to leave it.

Zexion slept peacefully most of the night, but then he woke up with a start. Getting out of bed he made his way to the kitchen where he sat at the table for a few moments. Why was he up in the first place?"Zexion...,"whispered a voice. Zexion whipped around looking around as he tried to figure out where the voice was coming from. It seemed to be muffled, as if it was coming from outside. Getting up from the table he opened the front door and walked outside, and down the front steps. He snapped out of his trance though as he looked around trying to figure out why he was standing around outside. "What am I doing out here?" thought Zexion as he made his way back into the house.

Meanwhile a silvery figure melded into the shadows again whispering out,"Found you."
