Zane's Apple Tree
Summary: Even Zane must worry about a few things. Zane and Alexis, no pairings. Don't we all wonder about the tree outside his window and what it must witness?
A/N: I was chewing a pen, while on a walk and I walked into a tree. Thus, this camr to me. RxR please
Disclaimer: I own nothin', not even this pen I'm chewing
"Zane, I always assumed you went to the lighthouse to think."
"I do Alexis."
"But, you always seem so troubled…"
"I am."
"But, but when you go back to your room-"
"You watch me?"
Alexis blushed slightly but continued onward. "That's not the point."
"Oh?" An eyebrow raised.
"It's just, the tree outside your room, the apple tree, you touch the leaves of the apple tree before going in and when you go out. I also see you do that before you have a duel if you can."
"What of it?"
"Well…why?"
"It's my worry tree."
"What?"
Zane hung his head down slightly so the sun gleaned off his hair instead of the white lighthouse to the side of him. "Ever since Syrus was taken from me by Camula worries have been inflicting on me."
Alexis didn't say anything, he never usually even talked this much so she let him continue.
"When I have a worry I leave it at the tree and pick it up again. Concern shouldn't belong in duels or sleeping or around my friends. I have things to do, I don't have time worry."
"Except now."
"Except now." Zane's voice turned slightly to agreeing but Alexis might have just imagined it. "The funny thing is," Zane said with a crinkled mouth, suppressing a smile. "Every time I win a duel I go out to pick the worries up but there isn't nearly as many hanging up there as there were before."
