Eh I’ll do both they’re such rarepairs now lmao…

XigDem (Assuming Braig doesn’t just McDie)

1. Braig would be p chill about having been half-possessed, few shits given. He seemed p on-board with doing whatever as long as he got something out of it. If Edym (HC’d and filler human name for him since we don’t have it atm) got Norted, he might feel a little bad having him be involved in Those Shenanigans.
2. Depending on what happens, I can see them just living in RG or go to a different world, maybe Edym’s. It’d probably end up looking like a college dorm with way too many posters and probably a beanbag couch. I can see them being content with a kind of shitty apartment even though you probably make bank working slaying Heartless and all that on a daily basis. Hey, though, the cheaper rent lets them not do jack shit for a while off their funds from in the org, though.
3. While they recuperate into normal life, Edym gets to playing music to his heart’s content without being yelled at by 4 separate people and Braig does…Braig stuff. He seems to enjoy sitting around and reading, so probably quite a bit of that. They need a bit to get used to living somewhere with a day/night cycle and their circadian rhythms end up screwy.
4.  Edym would milk the fact they both have hearts now SO DAMN HARD. He’s very about how his affections are super undeniably legit now. He’s also incredibly smug that he was right when they were Nobodies despite not being in on the Nort stuff in the beginning (unless he is).
5. Braig kind of held him at arms-length back in the org because he knew what was generally going to happen and any attachment would be detrimental and generally hurt him. He was lowkey bad at that. It also helps now that they can cuddle on the couch and whatnot without someone being all “uhhhh sweaty? We don’t have hearts so doing that is pointless uwu” and also they don’t live with 12 other people now. Edym likes to lay or sit next to him and braid his hair since that shit’s long and fun to play with and doesn’t have silver streaks in it anymore bc no-longer-Norted. Gotta take good care of it to make it even remotely manageable, too, so it’s probably kinda silky.

1. I can’t see either being too traumatized by being possessed–if Dilan ends up Norted too–more irritated with not having full control of their actions and impulsives not being their own. It’s kind of an “eh, what can you do about it now?” thing. They’ve seen some shit. Dilan might have some deepseated guilt about how RG fell and he couldn’t stop it and may have got sucked into the plot, though.
2. Dilan likely goes back to RG to continue his job as a guard. Luxord just…does something else; probably owns a shop of some sort or hosts gambling minigames. Probably lets him travel around a lot, even if it is in only one world.
1. Dilan doesn’t seek him out since he knows if Luxord wants to find him, he will and will just show up one day. He’s not too invested, as he is with many things on the emotional wave, and probably isn’t sure if Luxord even wants to continue to associate with him since it’s not just a thing of convenience among a specific group of idiots anymore.
3. Dilan likes to bake and dry fruit in his free time. Plus, he can take the product of that to work with him and eat it on break or while he’s walking around. The others usually get a bit of whatever he made, too. If you don’t like health food, you probably wouldn’t like his cooking. His granola is to kill for, though.
4. If Luxord does come to see him, it’d probably be after Dilan’s hours to go somewhere and catch up or he trails after him while he does his rounds. Whether Dilan is openly like “yay you didn’t die somewhere else and didn’t immediately forget my existence” is debatable.
1. It’s not really a definitive love thing so much as a “well I tolerate you, that’s something and kind of impressive by this point lmao” so he’s not too hard pressed to jump on that again, but he could warm up to him further bc he knows he has a heart now.
2. Luxord is probably up for it, either way.
5. Even with hearts and if they do decide to buddy up a bit more, I can’t see them being too affectionate at all, even knowing they have hearts. It’s more about presence than presentation and they don’t care whether people know they’re a thing or not. Close friends, yeah, but strangers and co-workers? Nah. Dilan is freakishly cuddly if you share a bed with him and he’s asleep, though. You can’t escape that.
