"Sounds of Silence"

Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Lexaeus, Larxene, or the Organization XIII. They belong to SquareEnix and Disney.

Everyone agreed that Lexaeus' title of Peaceful Giant had to go. Sure, Lexaeus was less prone to flying off the handle as opposed to say, Saïx, but he was hardly peaceful if he could split the ground or effortlessly swing a huge tomahawk.

But the other members of Organization XIII were at a loss as to what to rename him. Until one unforgettable party.

"I made a bet with Luxord," Larxene said. "I bet that I could make you say more than two words tonight." Silence. "Well? Aren't you going to tell me how stupid and infantile that is? That Luxord's got a gambling problem and needs therapy? That we shouldn't be making jokes about our superiors?"

Lexaeus shook his head, then leaned closer to Larxene and whispered two little words in her ear: "You lose."

And that is how Lexaeus became the Silent Hero.

Author's Note: I'm one of the few people who actually likes Lexaeus, and I thought I might as well write a story about him. I actually like "Peaceful Giant" better than "Silent Hero", but that's just me. The story is based on an urban myth about Calvin Coolidge, in which the same thing happened.
