Saix yawned.
Loudly. He was exhausted from the past few days, working constantly
with Xemnas. He hadn't slept in 56 hours, not that he was keeping
track or anything.
"Ahem!" Xemnas cleared his throat
loudly. "Am I boring you Saix?"
Saix mentally slapped
himself. "No Superior. I'm sorry, I haven't been sleeping
lately."
"Really?" Xemnas raised an eyebrow in
response. "That's not healthy. I would expect you of all people
to know that Saix." He sighed. "We shall continue this
tomorrow. You may go."
Saix rose and placed his papers on a
corner of the desk, where they would not be drawn into the chaos of
papers and files. "Goodnight Superior."
Xemnas lazily
waved a hand in response and continued working. However, not long
afterwards, he felt sleep creeping upon him. Sighing, he abandoned
his desk and portaled to his room. He removed his cloak and trousers
and climbed under the luminescent sheets. He really had to think
about redecorating.
Xemnas snapped his eyes open, panting. Those images had begun haunting his dreams again. The face of a man. Tanned skin and burning amber eyes. Who was he? Was he connected to his past? But the things he had done. So many people he'd killed. He had seen that for himself. A man, strongly resembling Roxas had attacked and been killed. He had watched as the life in those glittering blue eyes had been destroyed. He had watched as those eyes had turned to glass. It was like watching the life being taken from Roxas. It was painful. And perhaps worst was watching him fall to the arms of his love, the ghost of a feeling tugging at his non-existant heart, making him "feel" something he couldn't remember.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Saix was concerned. He
hadn't seen the Superior since they parted the previous evening. He
had now missed breakfast and lunch, behaviour most unlike the
dilligent Superior they all knew.
Opening a portal to the
Superior's study, Saix raised his hand and rapped on the door with
his knuckles. When he recieved no answer he pushed the door open and
stepped inside. The room was empty. Saix cocked his head as his gaze
fell on the desk, clearly abandoned by the Superior. Saix picked up
the top sheet. 'Xemnas was working on this when I left. He must have
gone to bed not long after myself.' he placed the sheet back in its
original position and raised his hand, creating a portal to Xemnas'
room.
He squinted into the darkness. "Superior?"
Noticing
a man-sized bulge on the bed, Saix walked over and gasped. Xemnas was
curled in a foetal ball, hugging his arms to his chest and his eyes
wide and unblinking. 'What could have happened to make him so,
broken?'
Saix felt something latch onto his waist. He looked down
and saw Xemnas, with his arms wrapped tightly around the diviner.
Saix sat and pulled the tanned male into a tender hug. Xemnas merely
whimpered and clung tighter, sobbing gently.
It was well past
dinner when Xemnas had calmed down enough to fall asleep. Saix had
stayed by his side, watching the steady rise and fall of his chest
and his mouth twitch into a smile as his mind played some happy
memory to him while he slept. The luna diviner reached forward and
brushed the thick, silver bangs from Xemnas' face. He chuckled as
Xemnas frowned slightly.
Saix leaned down and placed the gentlest
of kisses on Xemnas' lips.
"Goodnight Superior."

XD oh dear, I've made Xemnas such a pansy! I just wanna hug him, don't you? X3
Xemnas' dream was basically the trailer for Kingdom Hearts The Keyblade Wars, I think ^^;
