Illusionary Roses
Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Kingdom Hearts or its characters, they belong to Square Enix. But if I did own it, Zexion would still be alive for us fangirls.
Zexion awoke one morning feeling quite ill. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around at the unfamiliar environment; unfortunately, he didn't have a lot of time to actually take notice of his surroundings as a sudden rush of nausea sent him running to the nearest didn't know what time it was; all he knew was that it had to be sometime before dawn. He walked out of the restroom and wiped off his mouth. As he came back to the room, he glanced around. The faint smell of roses told him that he wasn't in his own. 'This could be bad' he thought to himself as he walked towards the bed. It was covered with a variety of roses, among other plants.
'Okay, so I slept with him….Not that I haven't done so before…' Zexion thought to himself, blushing a little has he remembered when they first got together four months before.
He looked out a window close to him and noted that it was indeed still night, then glanced at his watch and sighed. It was only 1:30 in the morning. He growled a little before having to run to the bathroom again.
After about ten minutes of vomiting profusely, he felt a hand gently rubbing his back. "Are you alright, Zex?" The other asked in a whisper. Normally Zexion would make a snide remark about being called by anything but his name, and if it was anyone else, he'd knock them out. "I'm fin now, Marlu."
"Are you sure? You seem a bit ill…" Marluxia asked, concern reflecting in his eyes.
Zexion nodded slowly, "Yes, I'm sure. I don't think I'm sick."
"Alright, if you're sure…How about we go back to bed?" Marluxia suggested as he glanced towards the clock. "It's almost two…"
Zexion nodded and stood shakily.
Marluxia watched him silently for a few minutes before lifting him in his arms bridal-style and walking back to the bed, gently placing him on the rose-covered sheets. Afterwards, he climbed into the bed and laid down next to him, wrapping his arms around Zexion's waist and pulling him closer.
Zexion smiled slightly, inhaling the light scent of roses that drifted from his lover. He turned around in Marluxia's embrace and looked up into his blue eyes. Marluxia looked down into Zexion's own deep blue eyes and brought his hand up to put his fingers under Zexion's chin. He gently placed a small kiss on his lips, bringing the other to rest on Zexion's head. Zexion closed his eyes instinctually and placed a hand on Marluxia's waist. They remained like this for a few minutes before the Schemer broke it off to breathe. He snuggled up closer to Marluxia to share the warmth.
Marluxia sighed softly and pulled Zexion closer. "I think you should go to a doctor or something…"
Zexion nodded, yawning "I'll go see Vexen in the morning…"
"Okay. Better to be safe than sorry. Besides, this isn't the first time you've been ill. So far it's been every morning for the past two months." Marluxia added, glancing towards him. He noticed that the Schemer had fallen asleep. 'Man, he must be tired…Usually he's up and reading..' he thought, listening to his soft snoring. He yawned and stretched a little, being careful not to wake the other. He closed his eyes and fell asleep listening to the soft sound of Zexion's breathing.
Marluxia awoke the next morning. It looked to be a little close to noon. He climbed out of bed and changed into his Organization rob. Once fully dressed, he left the room and went down the stairs and into the living room. Once there he looked around the room and noticed Zexion dressed in the usual. He also noticed that Zexion looked unusually pale as he sat on the couch, clutching the Lexicon tightly to his chest, and staring off into space.
"Zexion?" He asked taking a few steps closert so that he was in front of the younger Nobody. Zexion glanced at Marluxia briefly before looking down and fiddling with a corner of the Lexicon, hair hiding half his face.
"Is everything alright?" Marluxia asked sitting beside him.
"Everything's fine…" Zexion replied, still avoiding his eyes.
"Are you sure?"
Zexion nodded slowly.
Marluxia crossed his arms. "So..are you going to tell me or am I going to have to talk to Vexen?" He said standing up and getting ready to leave.
At that, Zexion looked up and grabbed Marluxia's arm. "I…I will tell you. But you may want to sit down."
"Alright" The Graceful Assassin said sitting beside him again. "So what is it?"
Zexion looked at him, into his eyes. "I really don't want to admit this, but, I'm scared…"
Marluxia raised an eyebrow. "And why are you scared? Though we both know that it's impossible because we don't have true emotions."
"I know that…" Zexion answered softly and looked away again.
"Then why…?"
Zexion looked at Marluxia and regarded him nervously "I-I'm" He swallowed hard and looked at the Lexicon. He then took a deep breath and continued. "I'm pregnant"
