The Day Axel Met Zexion
Vexen sighed once again as he beat on Zexion's door for the nth time. "Look Number Six, Come out of there now!"
"What's all of this racket." The sleepy red head grumbled as he came out into the hall.
"It is none of your concern Eight." Vexen snapped icily.
"Geez Geezer easy on the Newbie." Xigbar pat Axel on the back.
"Seriously though what is going on?" Axel asked as Vexen continued to beat on the door.
"Open this door!"
"No!" came a muffled reply.
"So… Who is the Iceman arguing with?"
"That's right you probably haven't met our youngest member yet. He's usually penned up in the library so I doubt you've crossed his path yet."
Why do I feel like that was a hit on my intellectual status? Axel thought as he said, "Yeah, you're probably right."
"Two! Do you have the keys with you or not?" Vexen growled as he set his icy gaze on Xigbar.
"Erk. Yes." Xigbar fished into his robes and fetched out the requested item. Vexen snatched them with a quickness that made Xigbar flinch. The older nobody growled as he fumbled his way through the keys.
"Alright Six last chance. I'm coming in"
"Go away!"
"Six…." Vexen growled as the door swung open to reveal an empty room. "Damn it Six!" Vexen growled as he hit on the closet door.
"I'm not coming out!"
"It's just for one day-" Vexen countered.
"No! I'm not wearing them!"
"If you want to not wear them for the rest of the year you will." Vexen growled.
The silence in the room was almost deadening. The closet door creaked open to reveal a single hand. Vexen chuckled slightly as he placed a slender case in the hand. The hand made a deft retreat.
"Now come out of there." Vexen growled. "After all you need to go pick up your new prescription."
"But…."
"NOW."
"Fine…" the door opened to reveal a short tempered silver haired teenager.
"SIX!"
"Alright already!" the kid snapped and put on a pair of horn rimmed glasses.
"Eight!" Axel jumped as Vexen closed in on him. "Since you're new and most likely don't have an assignment today you can take Six to go pick up his prescription in Twilight Town."
"But… I was supposed to be training with Saix today…"
"Well it can wait." Xigbar grinned and patted him on the shoulder. "Six can show you the ropes and what not."
"Come along Eight." Six growled pulling the taller nobody through a portal. "I want to get this over with as quick as possible." the kid snapped as they emerged in a back alley. He pushed Axel away from him vehemently.
"Look I don't know what crawled up yours and died but don't take it out on me you tiny four eyed pipsqueak." Axel said as he caught his balance.
"What did you say?" Six turned a dark glare upwards.
"Lets just go get your contact lenses so you don't have to look like such a dweeb okay?"
Axel blinked as his own words hit him. Maybe I shouldn't have called him that… there's no telling what his powers are… hell I don't want to find out the hard way either…
Zexion burst out laughing.
What the?
"Dweeb? Pipsqueak? Omg where on earth did you learn your insults?" Six laughed. "You're hilariously refreshing compared to the asswipes back home!" he took off his glasses to wipe tears from his eyes as he smiled up at Axel. "You are right though, I shouldn't be taking my frustration out on you and I apologize." He held out a hand.
"The name's Zexion. But you are to use Numbers when addressing me within the walls of the castle."
"Uh… Axel A.X.E.L. Got it memorized?"
"I do know how to spell Eight. Hm… By the way, if you could lead me to the eye doctors I won't tell Vexen about that pint of ice cream you stole from him last night."
"How in the hell did you know about that?!"
