Comment: Worksafe, but sorry if the two characters may seem a bit ooc to you, I did my best to keep them in character. ^^;

“Hey Lexaeus, what’s your definition of a perfect world?” Demyx asked from his end of the table. The two Nobodies were having a snack together on the table. The Silent Hero and the Melodious Nocturne, that was odd combination indeed. It wasn’t a surprise for the musician that there was no conversation between them. After a couple of minutes of unbearable silence though, the musician just had to bring up something for them to talk about.

The one called the Silent Hero looked up from his orange juice with a raised brow, “Perfect world for what?”

“People like us!”

“We’re not exactly people, Demyx.”

The blonde rolled his eyes, “You know what I mean….” The silence happened again, Lexaeus wasn’t much of a talker when it comes to chit chat it seems. Demyx spoke up with a smile, “Wanna hear my idea?”

Lexaeus blinked. Demyx look that as a 'yes'.

He sat back on his chair and started, “I always wished I could live in a simpler place where no one is judged, where words can't hurt people and there is no physical harm at all.” When he was the one who fell silent, Lexaeus thought he finished and was going to get up and leave, but Number IX kept on going, “I doubt something like that would ever exist though…”

Even the Silent Hero had some curiosity, “What makes you think so?”

Demyx was surprised he asked that, but went on anyway, “Because I know that everyone cannot like each other. There will always be someone being hurt and someone else doing the hurting. But still...” His slight unfamiliar gloomy tone went back to his usual cheerful one, “…I want to live in a place where everyone is just nice to each other, where no one would be labeled and could just live life happily and-“

“And,” Lexaeus had cut him off, “if you could, how would you create such a place?”

The Melodious Nocturne blinked in confusion and grew lost. “Err… I don’t know.” No surprise there for Lexaeus. Number V got up and walked out, but Demyx’s voice stopped him, “Wait, I know!”

Just to be nice, Lexaeus turned around to hear him out, “Hm?”

“Music,” Demyx said with a grin, “I’ll play a tune that everyone can sing, hum, and even dance to. You know, music makes the whole world go round…”

Lexaeus shook his head at Demyx’s weak attempt, “I hate to break it to you Demyx, but there are those people who just don’t like loud noises at all.”

And with that, the Silent Hero left, leaving the Melodious Nocturne to go back to his thinking about a perfect world, if any.
