Fifth Floor Common Room - Saturday Afternoon

Demyx was in a very good mood today; obvious by the way he was sortof dancing his way into the common room. He did a little spin and dropped onto the couch, picking up the remote and flipping channels. Oh look! Game Show Network! Happily, he settled in with reruns of The Millionaire Show.

((ooc: Open, for all your common room needs!))

Alec wandered in, drawn by the sound of a TV giving mindless entertainment to the masses. Or, from the look of it, just Demyx, whom he nodded to as he took a seat. "Game shows? Which one's this?"

"The one where the short guy asks a bunch of multiple choice trivia questions, and the person in the 'hot seat' - I don't understand that. If it's a hot seat, shouldn't it be on fire? But anyway, he asks that person questions and they have to answer them, and if they answer enough of them right, they win a million dollars." Demyx shrugged. "I guess it's as good a way as any to learn about this place?"

"'Hot seat' is a phrase, just means where all the attention's focused," he said, watching the TV critically. "I guess it's a way to learn random things, but not that useful unless you plan on getting on a quiz show someday." Alec shot a grin at Demyx. "I wouldn't mind winning a million dollars, if people are going to just give the money away like that."

"I still think it should be on fire," Demyx replied, grinning. "I don't know much about this place, so I like the information. Even if it's random, it's more than I knew before. And I wouldn't mind the money, either. But I'd never win this." He pointed to the tv, where the current contestant was hemming and hawing trying to decide between the last two choices. "If people from here have that hard of a time, I know I'd mess up bad!"

Alec smirked and spoke at the TV, though he knew they couldn't hear him. "It's 'Mali'. Bamako is the capital of Mali." He motioned at the screen, glancing at Demyx again. "A lot of it's pretty basic stuff, from what I've seen. But it would be a lot more amusing if the chair was on fire, yeah."

"Basic? You call that basic??" Demyx stared at Alec incredulously. "How do you know all this stuff? Do they teach it to you in school or something?" If Axel were around, the chair could be on fire...there was a thought.

"It's a city in Africa," he said, shrugging. "I didn't go to a regular school but I'd think they'd teach geography there."

"What's Africa?" Demyx asked curiously, watching Alec instead of the television.

Alec blinked. "Okay, you're really not from around here, are you?" He jerked a thumb over his shoulder in an easterly direction. "You know the water around this island? It's part of an ocean. Across the ocean is Africa, a huge landmass, what we call a continent."

"Nope. I'm from a different world. I'd never even really heard of this one before." Demyx grinned sheepishly. "Maybe I should research this place more."

"Couldn't hurt," he said, amused. "Always good to know where you are. Do you even know what continent you're on now?"

"I thought we were on an island?" Demyx pointed out.

"There's a causeway to the mainland, so technically it's part of the continent," Alec said dryly.

"It's all the same to me," Demyx said with a grin. "I never travelled much. I stuck to The World That Never Was, unless the Superior wanted me to go somewhere. So I've been to Hollow Bastion and the Underworld too, but I don't fight much, so I don't go to many places."

"'The World That Never Was'?" Alec cocked his head slightly. "Are you from off-planet, outer space or whatever?"

"I'm from another world. Haven't you heard of the other worlds?" Demyx blinked at him in surprise. "The Land of Dragons, Atlantica, Twilight Town. Haven't you ever heard of them?"

Alec shook his head. "Earth, at least the one I'm used to, is on its own. We never even got beyond sending men to the moon," he said. "If there's any of those worlds, they're not around here."

"Weird." Demyx shook his head. "I'm definitely not from around here. Can any of you do this?" He gestured, a blue-tinged black portal appearing nearby.

Eyeing the portal warily, Alec shook his head. "No. At least, no one I know. On my world there is no magic except in stories."

"Huh. Weird..." Demyx let the portal close, resting his chin on his fists. "Where I'm from, it's not uncommon for people to have magic. Not everybody, but lots of people." He eyed Alec. "Don't you have magic?"

Alec smirked and lifted his hands, wiggling his fingers slightly. "Nope. Just enhancements, but those are all science," he explained.

"So like Vexen could do...hmm..." Demyx thought aloud, then smiled. "Well, I guess that makes sense. You're still a cool person. Even if you wouldn't kiss me."

"Hey, no one warned me about that," Alec protested. "I didn't say I wouldn't kiss you, I just wasn't expecting it."

"You acted like I was repulsive and some kind of toad or something." Demyx pouted, giving Alec the puppy eyes.

He sighed, rolling his eyes a little. "Man, I did not," Alec argued. "Like I said, I wasn't expecting it. I never kissed a guy before I came to Fandom."

"What's wrong with kissing guys?" Demyx asked curiously. "It's just like kissing a girl. And from what I heard, you kissed guys at that booth. Just not me." Guilt-trip? Demyx? ...Maybe just a little.

"It's," Alec began, then grimaced. "It's just different. There's nothing wrong with it. And yeah, I kissed guys, because after you came by, I was prepared for it."

"So? Now you know it's no different!" Demyx scooted closer to Alec, sitting cross-legged on the couch so he could face him. "So? Are you gonna kiss me now?"

Alec blinked. "Um." He cocked his head slightly. "Well, you did pay your dollar."

"Yes. Yes, I did." Demyx raised an eyebrow. "And I don't think Anders would mind, since the money was for a good cause and all."

Alec shrugged and leaned forward slightly, lifting one hand to cup Demyx's cheek. "That's your call. I kissed Anders at the booth too."

"Well then! You're fair game." Demyx grinned devilishly, resting one of his hands on Alec's shoulder and leaning in to press his lips against his, his hand moving from Alec's shoulder to the back of his head.

Alec deepened the kiss without thinking, his thumb brushing against Demyx's cheekbone. His tongue traced across Demyx's lower lip, teeth closing gently on it a moment later, nipping lightly.

Demyx almost purred, gently massaging the back of Alec's head with his fingertips and sliding his other hand up onto his shoulder. Alec was a (not) surprisingly good kisser, and Demyx enjoyed that a lot. He licked at Alec's lip teasingly, as if daring him to go further.

Alec couldn't resist a challenge, especially all mixed up in an invitation, and he pressed forward, biting just a little harder before his tongue darted past Demyx's lips, delving in to taste him. Both hands lifted to cup the other boy's face, fingers sliding back, twisting in Demyx's hair.

"Mm..!" Demyx was surprised by how well Alec got into it, but he surely wasn't complaining. He pushed Alec back a little bit, climbing into his lap and pinning him against the couch.

Pushed back, Alec did nothing but return the kiss for a moment. He finally leaned back, pulling out of the kiss to look at Demyx, panting slightly, grinning. "That worth your dollar?"

"And then some," Demyx replied smugly, standing up and stretching. "Wow. I'm glad I came out here today."

"Yeah, not a bad way to spend an afternoon," Alec said, looking rather smug as well.
