#1 – look over here!

"Hey! Hey, Red!"

Axel's eyes almost instinctively rolled into the back of his head, a groan escaping his lips. He had been avoiding Number XI all day, and in Axel's opinion, the only way the pink-haired man could have tracked him down would be by using his fruity super powers. Oh well, he might as well at least listen to what the assassin had to say.

"What the hell do you want?" Axel sighed, turning around. Marluxia stood directly behind him, arms behind his back. Obviously the smirking man was hiding something - though Axel couldn't possibly imagine what; he was still sore from a particularly brutal mission earlier that day.

"Weeeeeeell, I'll be happy to show you if you just get over here!" Marluxia snapped, though the redhead could tell Number Eleven was faking it - his eyes were too bright and his smirk too wide.

With an irritated groan, Number Eight sauntered over to where Marluxia stood, placing gloved hands on his hips to emphasize his annoyance. Marluxia expression brightened even more, if that was possible.

"Ta-da!" The pink-haired man exclaimed, and Axel looked down to realize Marluxia's hands were no longer behind his back, and they were holding... what the hell was that anyway?

As if reading his mind, Marluxia practically stuffed the object into Axel's face.

"It's a Venus fly trap," he cooed, obviously amused judging by his expression. The man waved the spiky-looking plant in front of Axel's annoyed eyes. Judging from Eleven's expression and tone of voice, Number Eight knew this was headed nowhere good.

"A Ven- OW!" A heavy string of cuss words flowed out of Axel's mouth as his head snapped backwards. The vicious teeth of Marluxia's newest herb were enclosed around his nose, and as he snapped backwards the pot that the plant had resided in flew out of Marluxia's hands, flying through the air and crashing into the wall.

The plant still hung on tightly to Axel's nose as the man thrashed his head back and forth, finally leaning forward and trying to tug it off, whimpering all the while. Marluxia snickered and leaned forward, gripping the plant firmly by the stem and giving it a sudden tug.

The fly trap released its hold on Number Eight, dangling between Marluxia's fingers limply, roots exposed and a rather large pile of soil beneath it. In fact, most of the area between Axel and the wall were littered with soil, particularly where the pot had crashed and fallen.

Axel sniffed pathetically before straightening himself. He gritted his teeth and pulled his left arm back, about to deliver a glorious punch in the direction of Marluxia's face. However, before the man could deliver such a pleasingly violent blow, Number Eleven turned and quickly made his way towards the door, chuckling to himself. He turned and stopped before reaching for the handle, wearing a downright grin instead of his usual smirk.

"Obviously you've never been kissed by a Venus fly trap, Eight."
