Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or their characters…sadly TT_TT
Side Note: Story's in an AU, in Europe around the 1800's between 1900's in a small town.
Chapter One: Love at First Sight?
He was to be only a meal. But when I got up to him I just couldn't kill him…
My name is Axel and I am a vampire (no not like those Twilight freaks people). I live in Europe, in a town that's rarely sunny and always cloudy. I'm about 150 years old but to the humans I look around like my mid 20's. I also happen to be very wealthy due to my late parents working for a top sweets industry. Since it's hardly sunny in this town, I can roam around as I please which makes it easier to catch my prey. Well not all my prey since there's one that I can't come to kill.
I've noticed him from time to time. At first I really didn't care about him since most of my prey is women (they're suckers for hot men). Then it was until I realized if I kill a man I can become stronger and increase my vampire abilities. So I started to add man to my "diet" and it was a little more challenging than when I had with women but it seems to be worth it. Anyway getting back to the subject, so there were times I did see him before I could get my next meal but he always seem to be busy. I mean he always looks so busy, tired, and stressed. I guess one day I decide to put him out of his "misery" as I soon saw him look more tired than usual. I started to walk up to him, grabbed him by his shoulder, turned him around, and started to stare into his eyes. They were the most innocent looking eyes I've ever seen. I just couldn't bring myself to kill him.
"E-excuse me?" he asked, "is there something that you need?"
"Oh I…just wanted to know if you knew where the nearest bakery is" I lied
"Bakery? Oh it's just another 2 blocks down" he said smiling at me, "do you want me to show you?"
"Um sure if you can…" I said as we walked over
And from that day on we always met up with each other. Same time at the same place. We even got to know more about each other. I found out what his name was, Zexion, and that he has a younger 6-year-old brother named Ienzo. I also found out that he lives alone with his brother, said that his parents were in some kind of accident. I would have wanted to know more but I saw how he reacted after telling me. Seems that it wasn't that long ago I guess. Anyway it also seems that he works at a factory but is being paid like shit. I did tell him that I'd go talk to his boss, but he said I'd just make things worse. I really don't like the fact he's letting him get away with it but I'll get even with him later. It sucks more since this kid lives in poverty. I asked him a couple of times if he would want to live in with me and I'd be glad to have his brother with us too but he never replies.
So one day I happened to ask him where he lives.
"You…you want to know where I live"
"Well yeah, I mean if you won't come over to my house then might as well see yours" I told him
"Wh-why? I mean, it just someone like you shouldn't be going to a house like mine…" he said blushing
"Does it matter? We're friends right?"
He looked up at me, with a questioned face, "Fr-friends?"
"Well, we know eat other than just acquaintances right?"
"B-but someone of you stature shouldn't think about going to-"
"Hey c'mon just because I'm wealthy doesn't change anything. Just let me see it once"
He looked down. Maybe he's too embarrassed to show me.
"O-okay then. Today, after work"
"Alright then see you at the usual meeting place then" I said patting his head
That night I waited for him. I just stood there and noticed a figure coming this way. I saw that Zexion, probably hoping that I'd forget but I didn't.
"Okay finally going to see your house bud" I said messing with his hair.
"Remember, it's kinda shitty so please don't think any less of me…" he said as we continued to walk.
We got to his "house" and well…yeah it was shitty abit. But not as bad as he made it sound like. I mean at least he has a roof, table, some chairs, and blanks right? We go in and I saw his younger brother Ienzo, for the first time, on a table coloring. Damn he looks so much like him.
"Nii-san, you're home early" he said
"I know, so um…did you get anything to eat?"
"No…not today"
"Well here, I figured as much so have some" he said handing him a loaf of bread
"Thank you for the food" his brother replied and started to eat.
"Eh…Zexion? What about you?"
"Kind of the reason I didn't want you to come over" he mumbled
"Dude…are you starving yourself?!" I asked. I needed to know now!
He was quiet for a moment, didn't reply to me. I started to get frustrated for reasons unknown, until his brother interrupted.
"Nii-san, you need to go to the corner to give Alec his pay" he said
"Oh…um yeah, almost forgot. Thanks bro, I'll be right back" he said in a rush
"So…you're Ienzo right?" I asked awkwardly
"You should know by now"
"Well just wanted to make sure kid"
"Nii-san's always like that" he commented. I gave him a questioned look. "Yes for your info he does starve himself so I can eat. It's a long story why he does that" he said
"And you don't do anything about it?"
"Well would you listen to a 6-year-old?"
"Okay okay but does he have to?"
"I don't know. By the way…I noticed how you looked at my brother. Do you like him?" he asked
Damn! This kid's smarter than he looks! "Eh…"
"Of course" he said sitting back down, "I suggest you be true to your love for my brother since he's very hard to get"
God the urge to kill that brat was rising. Seriously if he weren't the brother of Zexion I'd probably make a meal out of him. Just then Zexion came back, abit beat up.
"Zexion! What happened?" I said rushing over
"I-It's nothing…" he said sitting down looking at the ground.
That was it! I couldn't take it anymore!
"Zexion…from now on you're going to be working for me" I told him
He looked at me shocked. "Wh-what?"
"You and your brother are now going to live with me. You are going to be my servant from now on, and I'll have your brother go to a private school so he can get a better education. I tired of seeing you work so hard and not getting anything out of it. That really pisses me off" I told him. He looked like he was going to cry, but why? Wasn't I saving him from this fucking life he has? He looked like he was going to refuse but I had to do this. "You want your brother to have a good life right?" I told him. Yeah that was kind of low but I had to. He looked down and started to cry. Seriously I might love him but I'm not going to let him live like this. "C'mon get your stuff" I said. Only Ienzo got up and left the "room", but Zexion was still on the floor crying.
"Wh-why?" he asked me still crying
"Why what?"
"Why are you doing this for me?" he asked, "friends wouldn't do this…I mean you'd let me live the way I do"
"Well friends that are rich wouldn't let his poor friend suffer especially if he's starving himself. Even if it's for his brother" I told him
He looked up at me shocked. Guess he didn't think I'd figured it out.
"On top of that I've seen the shitty way you've been paid and noticed you get beaten up, well it shows more now but still. I'm not letting you do this to yourself" I said kneeling down, "c'mon you know you deserve much better" I said rubbing his head.
"I-I-I don't know…"
"C'mon you big baby", I said while picking him up, "you're going to live with me and that's final" as I carried him to his room…
To be continued…
Well hope I'm doing well so far! R&R Please :3 would make me want to write more! X3
