Ever since their first conversation Sora couldn't really get the idea of telling Demyx what he did out of his head. He wanted to tell the guy, but how do you approach that kind of situation? He had no idea that said person had already been informed of Sora's cruel misdeed, but he was going to try anyway. When he checked the feed and didn't see anything from Demyx, he decided he would go out and look for him ( ... )

The sound of someone else's voice snapped Demyx out of his reverie with a violent jerk. It had never once occurred to the nobody someone else might run into him, nevermind be looking for him.

With an audible gasp Demyx had jumped up from his spot and pivoted around to see who had addressed him. But when his gaze had landed on the culprit, sea green eyes that had once been wide and startled became narrowed and cat like in their accusatory glance. This was exactly the person Demyx wanted to and had tried to avoid - it was just his horrible luck that Sora would show up right now.

"You!"

In a way the nobody was a parallel to how he had been just before his (future) fight with Sora. Looking just about ready to beat down on the brunette as best as he could, but, on closer inspection it appeared the flight option was appealing far more to Demyx than the fight one ( ... )

The look was more than enough to make Sora's heart drop, but the way he talked to him...Someone had definitely told him. Sora swallowed carefully, not sure what to say. Could he even say anything that would make Demyx realize that he was sorry? Would the word even be enough? His shoulders dropped but he did his best not to look away from those eyes that had only second ago been so serene.

If Demyx decided to attack him, he wasn't sure if he would be able to fight back. He had nothing to defend right now. Demyx was angry and reasonably so. If he chose to attack him Sora felt that he deserved it. He had done something far, far worse to the man and he know that, some day, Demyx would experience the same thing when he went home. Maybe that was why Sora wanted to be his friend now. He wasn't sure. When he spoke again he barely recognized his own voice. It was quiet. Curious, but subdued.

"Someone told you didn't they?"

In the time Sora took to respond Demyx did think about attacking him. The way the other's shoulders slumped and how he grew quiet must have been a trick to get Demyx to let his guard down. Maybe that was how Sora was going to kill him in the future too? This time it wasn't going to work so easily on him.

How could Demyx have forgotten Sora wanted to talk to him, and would be looking for him? He should have known and been ready for this confrontation.

Demyx felt his breath hitch. It couldn't have been Sora wanting to tell him about his death... could it? That would just make things harder for (future?) past Sora so he had no reason to warn Demyx about it! It was alarming that Demyx had forgotten how to continue breathing when the thought of Sora wanting to help him had popped into his traitorous and fearful mind. But considering how quickly Sora had volunteered to protect him so soon after Demyx's arrival ( ... )

When he first got pulled here, if anyone had asked if he would befriend the Organization, he would have flat out said no. When he first got here they were all his enemies. Only the ones that had turned their back on what Sora viewed as evil ways were worth it to time. But now? That wasn't so true anymore. Sure, he still didn't like Saïx and that Larxene lady seemed like someone he could never get along with either, but Demyx? He hadn't expected to want to find a friend in him, let alone be hurt when the only thing he saw in those eyes was hatred ( ... )

Demyx listened quietly as Sora spoke. What Sora was saying sounded full of regret - and as if Demyx wouldn't be able to see that much. Features previously twisted with anger and scorn smooted out into a strange and attentive calm. The default expression before any emotion was felt or expressed.

With a short and muted sigh Demyx unsummoned Arpeggio. A puddle of water splashed onto the cement underneath in the place the instrument once stood, the sound a harsh contrast to the silence that had fallen over the light haired nobody. Sora hadn't taken out his keyblade. If Sora wasn't going to start a fight neither would Demyx, that was not how the Melodious Nocturne prefered to do anything. He only ever resorted to violence if it was the last resort.

Got in my way, those were the words that reverberated in his mind. They all had gotten in Sora's way. Demyx had gotten in his way. It was starting become hard to see the reason for why he did in the first place; Roxas didn't want to come back. Roxas had willing left the organization behind - ( ... )

Almost reflexively Sora took a step closer once Demyx had gotten rid of his weapon. He remembered how it felt to get hit by that thing and he would prefer to avoid it if at all possible. For a brief moment he felt relief. Demyx didn't hate him enough to beat him into a bloody pulp or at least try to. Maybe that meant he could fix things. Maybe they could be friends ( ... )

Demyx would not be capable of feeling the hate he would have felt had he actually experienced his death. If it had happened already the situation they were in now would have been very different.

For a long time Demyx mulls over Sora's question in his head. A long enough time someone might assume that he's either forgetten about it or purposely ignored it.

"Why you went so far." Far enough as to take Demyx's pathetic excuse for a borrowed existence. Demyx didn't take anymore steps back. If he had he would just be driving himself further into a corner, and corners were exceedingly hard to escape from when you were being approached.

Sora could barely force himself to look Demyx in the eye. He had never felt as intense a guilt as this one in his entire life. He never really thought about how important forgiveness could be to a person until now when he felt like it was so out of reach. He wanted it, but he couldn't help but think that he didn't deserve it.

"I..." He slowly looked up, still afraid of what he would see, "I wanted to get through to save my friends. You were the first one out of the Organization that I ever fought like that. I didn't stop to think about who you might have been as a person I just...needed to get through. That was all I was thinking about. And how you were in my way." He swallowed slowly. When he spoke again his voice was shaking, "I didn't think about it like I was killing someone. "

He couldn't do it. He dropped his gaze once more, "No one ever taught me to be nice to you guys. They all said you were bad people and I just...I just listened."

From the spot on the ground he'd been glaring at Demyx looked up and pinned Sora with a piercing glance. As Sora went on with the explanation his breath became more shallow. Demyx had been the first to be sent to go after Sora. Demyx knew he wasn't the most powerful nobody. So it only made sense if they'd all underestimated Sora's capabilites and strength.

They must have; going by what Demyx had been told since coming to Adstringendum they'd all found tragic fates while getting into Sora's way...

...Getting into Sora's way were the orders they were all given. They were listeing to orders. Demyx had just listened to the orders without questioning them - he realized with a jerky flinch. Demyx was just as responsible for his death as Sora was.

Feeling suddenly drained of energy Demyx slumped, his gaze landing on Sora's shoes, unwilling to look up to see the look on the other's face anymore.

Looking made it hard for Demyx to continue being angry.

"What happened after that? ...Did you find your friends?"
