A/N: Heya, been awhile right?
I resparked my interest in KH with 358/2 Days and now am writing a story based partially on some of the information gained from it.
As such, well, not really anything is spoiled. Other than Axel's somebody's name. Saïx's somebody's name I chose since there is no official one yet. Bare with me.
----------------------------------
Saïx kneaded his temples in an effort to clear the pain of the headache caused by the racket surrounding him.
Xemnas wasn't here yet so the rest of the organization, or at least the ones who loved to talk (aka Marluxia, Luxord, Larxene, Demyx, Xigbar, and Axel) took that as a sign to chit-chat.
A small breeze whisked the Diviner's hair in an eddy, causing him to look over at Xaldin. The Lancer mentioned Saïx to raise his chair.
Wondering what Number III wanted, Saïx obliged and leaned over to hear what Xaldin had to say.
"I would like to offer my deepest thanks for you not being the same as many of the neophytes that have joined the organization, number seven."
Saix smirked, "My thanks for your thanks, Xaldin."
After the meeting, Axel knocked on the door to Saïx's room and strolled through.
"Hey there, Aïs!" The red-headed plopped himself down onto the couch while Saïx stared at him bemusedly.
"Hello yourself, Lea. Can I help you?"
Axel smirked and said, "Glad to see you still have some humor in you, I feared that you had acquired a stick up your ass."
Saïx winced and then chuckled. "Well, I am technically supposed to set an example for the rest of you, since Xigbar counters any productivity that can be otherwise made."
Axel looked up from examining one the numerous books littering the floor of Saïx's room and muttered something under his breath.
Saïx reached forward and tugged on the back of Axel's hood, forcing him to look up. "Pardon?" Was all Saïx asked.
Clearing his throat and trying to remove the chokehold grip the berserker had on his coat, Axel said, "Well, some of us, myself included, think that you could defend us a bit more to the superiors. And that you should relax somewhat." He flinched as Saïx raised an eyebrow.
Releasing Axel, Saïx rubbed his eyes. "I know, I know. It's just that I don't want to lose my position as second-in-command because the superior sees me not taking things seriously. I worked hard to get this position you know." He sighed.
Axel hesitantly patted Saïx on the shoulder. "Well, just...try and act a bit more like you used to you know? I'm still your friend, got it memorized?"
Saïx laughed and lightly (well, lightly for Saïx anyhow) punched Axel in the shoulder. "Of course Lea. But do stop saying that cheesy line, please?"
Axel opened a portal to his room and waved it off, "It's my thing, got it memorized?" He winked over his shoulder, and left Saïx to his thoughts.
Picking up his book, Saïx smiled.

First chapter is short, but it's 4:46 AM in the morning...deal with it. :D
