Author: Lilia Lavender
Pairing/Character: Xemnas/Riku
Rating: K+
Summary: These are drabbles collected for the pyramiddares challenge community on LiveJournal, for Xemnas/Riku. Many of these contain mature content; either implications or mentions of sadomasochism, and suggestive language. Hence the M rating for the whole collection.
Fanfiction-wide Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Riku or Xenmas.
Author's Notes: Yes. That's right. Xemnas/Riku. I owe this pairing to FlameofManipulation, because I was firmly against it until she convinced me it was possible. This is for that one little defiant 'I can't picture Xemnas and Riku together' that she completely stomped out of my vocabulary.

Angels, no matter how high they've fallen, never lay down with demons.
It's the way of the world.
But even then, the demons can't help but be swayed a little.
Xenmas gritted his teeth as he watched the silver-haired teen walk onto the college campus, a boy with brown spikes standing on his right while a girl with wide blue eyes was on his left. They were guarding him, even though he didn't seem to notice. Or perhaps he was just used to that sort of treatment. He rolled his eyes slightly, breaking away from their cage to whip around and insist that he didn't need any help moving into his dorm. Of course not, he had been here on so many occasions he knew the campus with the back of his hand. The dark-skinned man knew that himself.
The boy—Sora, he now knew from the angel's outburst—told him that they needed to protect him, and the girl—Kairi, was it?—nodded multiple times, going forwards boldly and taking his arm. Riku—Riku, Riku, which meant land like he had fallen to from the clouds—pulled away slightly and shook his head, taking a few boxes from their trunk. He told them that he was fine, firmly as he shut the back of the car and leaned against it. He tapped the glass with his knuckle, and Sora let his hands go to the sky, aggravated. There was no going back, he stated, going onto his tiptoes and glaring into the teen's seagreen eyes. Riku smiled and held open the door for him.
When they were gone, Riku glanced around and looked lost for the first time on the large campus, before taking his bags and starting towards the dormitories. Xenmas strode over to him elegantly, like a vampire starting onto his prey.
He issued a gasp from the seventeen-year-old, who went back slightly, almost tripping over himself. But no, he's too graceful to fall twice and righted himself with only one step. He looked over at him oddly, asking why he was creeping around.
Creeping around? Hardly.
He only let himself take a bag that the boy had forgotten, holding it up. A flush like red wine splashed across Riku's face, and he glanced away with an embarrassment. He allowed himself to thank the man, before asking him where his room was. Room 201.
A smirk came across Xenmas' dark face, and he confessed that room 201 was his own—they had been paired up as roommates. There's a bit of shock on his pale features, and he brushed his bangs back. He apologized for not knowing, before asking if he would help him to his room.
He quirked an eyebrow, and pointed out that he didn't want any help from his friends.
Riku mirrored his expression, wondering why someone like him was eavesdropping. Instead, Xenmas just nodded and helped him to his room, smiling a little. Maybe he could pass himself off as an angel as well to this pure force.
He glanced back as the boy looked around with the same fascination as he had on his first trip.
Maybe a bit of his angelic demeanor would rub off on him and they could both be as holy as mortals could be.
