Christmas Chaos ch.4

Christmas Chaos
Chapter 4: Aftermath

The morning after wasn’t so pleasant for many of them. Basically everyone, save for Demyx and Roxas, had a nasty hangover, Xemnas especially.

Xemnas had woken up and found that he was not in his room. That was the only hint he needed to know that something had happened at that party. What it was for sure, he couldn’t remember, but he had a feeling Axel and Demyx were going to pay.

Once his head stopped pounding and the room stopped spinning.

And if he could get that weight off of his side.

He paused and glanced over to find an arm. A very warm arm, granted, but still, not exactly what he was expecting. He almost didn’t want to know who it belonged to. But, he glanced up more so and saw Saix sleeping soundly beside him.

What the hell did he do last night?

He quickly checked to make sure he was completely dressed. Luckily, he was.

He slowly began to move, trying to wriggle his way out from under the berserker’s arm, but Saix just tightened his hold on him.

Oh man this was awkward. He would just have to wake the other up.

“Seven…”

He frowned. His throat really hurt and his voice was all scratchy. What the heck?

But, it was still enough to get Saix to stir. His eyes slowly opened and he stared at Xemnas.

Neither of them moved or said anything. They just stared.

After a seven or so minute staring match, Xemnas sighed and closed his eyes.

“Seven, please inform me of what happened and as to why we are in your room and your bed…together.”

“You passed out from drinking too much. I was a bit drunk as well and couldn’t make it to your room.”

Xemnas opened one eye,

“And that is all?”

“…..No.”

Xemnas opened both of his eyes and frowned, “What else?”

“It was probably because you were drunk, but once you woke up again you erm, tried to um…”

Xemnas stared at him in horror, “Oh god…”

“I did manage to stop you though.”

But Xemnas didn’t really hear him, he buried his head in his hands and groaned.

“I’m going to fucking kill Axel and Demyx.”

He sighed and glanced up at Saix.

“I apologize for my actions last night seven, it will not happen again.”

“Um sir it’s-”

“But I will make sure that Axel and Demyx are never allowed to plan things like this ever again!”

“Sir really its-”

“Do they not realize the repercussions of their actions? I mean seriously I should-”

This time, Saix cut Xemnas off by kissing him roughly and pulled away, looking him straight in the eyes.

“Sir. Its fine.”

Xemnas stared at him, shell shocked at what Saix had just done. Saix blinked, waved a hand in front of Xemnas’ face and then shrugged, pulling the other into his arms and going back to sleep.

By mid afternoon everyone else was either starting to wake up or move around. Axel was in a very, very good mood, regardless of the fact he had a small hangover, and was babbling incessantly to Roxas who just nodded every once in awhile, looking very tired. They had yet to see Xemnas, which was a good thing, he hoped, and a few of them were at the table laughing about what they did remember from the party. Xigbar was actually thinking of some other ways to get Xemnas drunk again.

When Xemnas actually did decide to show himself, he was of course followed by Saix. As he walked towards the room everyone else was in, Demyx and Axel quickly darted to the end of the room, putting as much distance between themselves and Xemnas. Yet, surprisingly, Xemnas did not go after either of them. He merely sat down with everyone else and seemed to ignore the two. They looked to each other and hesitantly went back over, but would be ready to get the hell out of there if Xemnas showed any signs of hostility.

Xemnas finally glanced up at them and had a cruel smirk.

“Eigh, nine,” He said coolly, causing the two to shiver, “I have come up with a…suitable punishment for you both.”

They both gulped, “D-Do we still get to live?”

Xemnas’ smirk seemed to grow, “Oh yes. You will. Though you may want to kill yourself afterward. Who knows?”

The two looked at each other, both pale and very afraid.

“W-What do we have to do?”

Xemnas nodded to Saix who grabbed the two of them, causing them to squeak.

“Take them to the room.”

“What room?”

Xemnas just smirked, “You’ll see.”

Saix took the two and put them into a room. He then left the room and shut the door, locking it. Axel and Demyx blinked.

“Um…”

“Why’re we in a white room? Can we leave?”

There were speakers in the room and soon they heard Xemnas’ voice coming from the speakers.

“No, you two are being punished. This room has been designed so that you cannot escape at all. And, to add to that misery, for the next week and a half, you will hear nothing but this song,”

The two sat there, a bit confused and then the song started.

“Jingle Bells? That’s it? Haha wow superior you’re really lacking in torture ideas.” Axel leaned back, not bothered at all by the song. Demyx bobbed his head and sang along.

“We shall see eight. Enjoy your week. We’ll come to check on you every so often until the time is up.”

Axel shrugged and closed his eyes. “Whatever. This will be nothing, right Dem?”

”I like this song!”

“Heh, see?”

Xemnas merely smirked and left the room, Saix by his side.

“Seven, how long do you think they can stand it?”

“I would figure only a few hours, sir.”

Xemnas nodded, “Then we’ll come back then to check on them.”

Now, Jingle Bells is a classic Christmas song. Axel wasn’t going to be bothered by it at all. So what if it was repetitive?  It was just a song. Big deal. This would be the easiest punishment he’d gone through in awhile, he could just sleep through the song.

Or so he thought.

Two hours went by and Demyx stopped singing along. Axel rubbed his head as he felt a headache coming on. That jingle was getting really annoying. He hadn’t even managed to sleep for thirty minutes. It just kept going and going.

“Axel! This is starting to get old…” Demyx whined.

“Eh, well just, let just try and ignore it and talk about something. I mean I’m sure we could drown it out.”

Demyx shook his head, “It’s too loud. I don’t think this is going to be as easy as we thought.”

”Oh come on! This is nothing! We can’t let it get to us, ok?”

Demyx bit his lip and nodded hesitantly. Axel leaned back and closed his eyes, rubbing his temples. Eventually they would just get use to it.

It was another three hours before Xemnas and Saix arrived to check on the two. Demyx was huddled in a corner, covering his ears while Axel was banging his head on the wall, yelling ‘Make it stop’ over and over. Xemnas grinned.

“Such a shame. To think the first day isn’t even up. But I do think they’ll learn their lesson, don’t you Saix?”

Saix nodded, a cruel smirk on his lips. “Most definitely sir. I don’t think they’ll cross you like that again.”

“I would think not. Now, let us return to my chambers.”

Xemnas smirked and led Saix out of the room, leaving Demyx and Axel to suffer for the next week and a half. Xemnas was quite confident that neither of them would object to the new ban on Christmas Carols. He grinned wickedly, he was also very sure that neither of them would dare to cross him again. Maybe this Christmas holiday really did give good gifts…

The final observational report of entry #173 of VII:</i> All in all, the experience was interesting to say the least. I do believe that Axel and Demyx have learned to keep celebrations and more especially holiday music (they twitch at even the slightest jingle from a bell), to themselves. Though I will eventually have to thank the two for helping everyone become a bit…closer. Things are much nicer here. I have benefited greatly from all of this. Everyone has yet to tell Xemnas exactly what he did when he was wasted, but we all have come to an agreement that it is for the best. Though, the superior has refused all alcohol. He says it’s because he does not want to suffer another hangover but I believe its subconscious as well. But it seems that Xigbar has been trying to find some other way to get Xemnas drunk, it’ll be interesting if it ends up working. Though I think Xaldin will prevent him from doing anything too stupid. But, still I must admit that I find the superior more…fun when he has been drinking. I do almost hope that Axel and Demyx will dare to celebrate another holiday similar to Christmas. I am curious to see what other punishments Xemnas might have in store for them. To end this report, I shall make one last note to thank Axel and Demyx. I have another report to give to the superior, only this time in his bedroom. Thanks for the gift eight and nine.
