A new fan fiction! Yay! Oh man, I'm writing about Kingdom Hearts now. Never thought I'd be doing this. Not that it really matters. Anyways, this was inspired by a roleplay, this means that the characters may be portrayed the way the people in the roleplay portray them. Of course, the roleplay was a Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts cross over, and this is not. So it is similar, but not the same. Anyways, expect people to be out of character. If you don't like that, leave. Now. Oh yeah, there will also be yaoi.

Another note, the point of view will change. It will pretty much be in first person, unless the situation calls for third. This will mainly revolve around Marluxia and Vexen, though I may add in a few side stories for happiness.

Umm…other information. Oh yes! Ages. Also, this will have the American school system since I think that having four years of High School is better.

First Years (Freshman): Fourteen or Fifteen

Second Years (Sophomores): Fifteen or Sixteen

Third Years (Juniors): Sixteen or Seventeen

Fourth Years (Seniors): Seventeen or Eighteen

Now then, enjoy.

Disclaimer: All characters are owned by Square Enix. I do not own anything except for the story.

Note: I'm sorry, but I just have to say this. Vexen is not creepy and old. He's eighteen. Got it memorized? I swear I'm going to get shot for saying that line…

Vexen's Point of View

As my eyes traveled up and down the page, I began to wonder why this was so easy. In fact, I wondered why everything was so easy. I knew I was smart, I had always been at the top of my class, or in the top three. I took every AP class there was, and yet it seemed to be realized now.

No, that was not the case. I had realized my superior intelligence before; I just decided not to recognize it. I still didn't want to. There was no reason to. I was just a senior in high school, and nothing more. Besides, right now I should just be concentrating on finishing up this test.

So I moved my concentration back onto the test in front of me and began filling in the answer, one by one. I was among the first to finish. No surprises there. So I merely flipped open a book and read until the teacher said that we had to pass our papers in. I packed up while the teacher started talking about what would be happening next week. I only really paid attention to half of it. I was very eager to get out of the classroom, so I stood up as soon as we were dismissed and got out of that room.

My feet naturally took me to where I wanted to be. I didn't even have to pay attention and I was suddenly in a room that smelt like chemicals, rubbing alcohol, and even hints of smoke.

"Vexen, you're a little bit later than usual."

I snapped out of whatever small daze I was in and turned my head to see two Juniors in the room. I called them my assistants, though they seemed to be much more loyal to each other rather than to me.

"So it seems. Well, Zexion, I am unable to control the actions of the teacher." I stated plainly. The blue-haired boys' friend, Lexaeus, turned to glance at me, but said nothing. He never said anything. I had thought he was a mute for the first three months that I knew him, but I heard him speak when Zexion addressed him.

"Hmm…well, not at this level of intelligence." The boy stated, going off into his own little world.

I rolled my eyes slightly and walked over to a table. Looking around the science lab, I felt an ounce of appreciation for the teacher who allowed us to use this place as we liked. After all, none of us science-lovers had our own labs at home.

I had something that I needed to work on today. I was trying to create a potion of sorts that would help cure the common cold. I just needed one ingredient. Unfortunately, it would have to come from the garden.

"HEY GUYS!!! Sooooo….who feels like playing Twister!?!" A loud voice shouted as the door to the science lab opened and a freshman walked in. I flinched slightly at the noise, but was fine after that. I turned my head and saw Demyx. This kid was a rather famous musician. Now why in the world was he here? Well, he would probably be shooed away soon enough.

"Lexaeus and I will play with you." I heard Zexion say. I turned my head, cocking a brow. How odd. Maybe they were friends or something.

"Awesome! What about you Vexen?" I heard the musician ask. I waved my hand.

"No thank you, I have things to do." The freshman looked genuinely displeased at those words. He sighed rather sadly.

"Alright. Well, you'll have to play with us next time, kay?" He then recovered and grinned rather goofily before walking off with Zexion and Lexaeus in tow. As the door closed behind them, I noticed the silence around me. I worked in this silence for about three or four minutes before I got sick of it. Well then, it was time to go get the ingredients I needed.

I pushed up from the chair I was sitting on and exited the lab, making sure to close the door behind me. I walked quickly down the long hallway and made my way to the garden. The school garden was very lush and full of exactly what I needed. Of course, that was because of the gardener there. I wasn't exactly fond of him, but at least he was willing to give me the herbs he wanted.

I pushed open two big doors and hot air rushed in. I grimaced slightly; I had never really liked the heat. Then again, I was always feeling rather cold. Maybe I just don't like the sunlight.

As I got closer to the garden, the air started smelling…cleaner. It seemed fresh and full of natural perfume. I took in a deep breath as I walked through the open gate of the garden. This place always amazed me. The back area was shrouded by trees for plants that didn't need sunlight, and the front area was open for plants that did need sunlight. Of course, the front area was bigger and much brighter. I glanced around in that front spot, but I didn't see who I was looking for. As I walked a little bit further, I noticed a blonde head leading to a body that was hunched over something.

"Ummm…excuse me, could you please tell me where the head of this club is?" The head shot up almost as soon as I had finished speaking. It was none other than Larxene. I didn't know much about her, except that she was best friends with Marluxia who was the head of the club. She wasn't really into gardening, but friendship sometimes makes you do things you wouldn't think of.

The blonde cocked her brow at me. She smirked. "Hey Vexen, didn't expect to see you here. What business does an underground student like you have here?" She asked, cocky as always.

I let out a small sigh and grimaced. Larxene and I had never exactly gotten along. Not that it mattered, I never saw her anyways. After all, she was still a junior. "I need to speak with Marluxia." I stated rather plainly.

Larxene thrusted her thumb in the direction of the darker part of the garden. "He should be back there. If you don't see him at first, check the shed." I nodded and muttered thanks before walking in that direction. Hopefully that girl would learn some manners eventually. She should learn to respect her elders.

As I entered the shady area I felt myself cooling down. I looked around and admired the exotic flowers all around. They really were beautiful. I moved forward and stopped in front of a lovely blue flower.

"Oh my~!!! Did Vexxy come to visit me?" I froze and spun around at the sound of the voice. Pink hair was the first thing I saw, then next thing was the head and body attached to that hair walking closer, only stopping when they were only a mere two feet away.

I frowned slightly. "Hello Marluxia. Yes, I guess I did. I require some ingredients for a new experiment I'm working on. You, of course, have what I require." I said, not really wanting to admit any of this. I already knew that Marluxia was infatuated with me and wanted to get into my pants. Asking him for favors never really helped.

The pink-haired male smirked and reached into one of the pockets on the smock he was wearing and pulled out garden shears. I looked at the pockets and wondered what else was in there. He was always wearing it at the garden. It was a soft yellow color with flowers on one of the edges. It was also smudged with dirt. "Alright Vexxy, just tell me what you'd like."

I looked around for a second. "I need delphirium bakeri, and trifolium amoenum." I said, looking back at Marluxia. He let out a sigh and shook his head.

"Man, I wouldn't even know or grow those if I didn't know you. Anyways, I expect something in return, of course." He said as he spun his shears around on his finger.

I crossed my arms. "Fine, state your terms." I said. I wanted to be as professional as possible.

Marluxia let out a small chuckle and stopped spinning his shears; instead he gripped the closed blades, his arms at his sides. "Tomorrow you have to go on a date with me." He said, sounding a serious as possible. I paused, taking a second to take all that in. My jaw dropped open, but I quickly shut it and attempted to look like I wasn't incredibly shocked or confused.

"Excuse me? You must be kidding. Wouldn't you rather have money or free lunch for a week? How about I get Zexion and Lexaeus to help you out for awhile?"

Marluxia merely shook his head and smirked. "No way Vexxy. Come on, it's just a date. Besides, where else could you possibly find your ingredients around here?" He asked, running his free hand through his hair.

This made me pause. I gulped. "Fine. I'll go on the date." I said, flinching at my own words.

He just smiled. "Lovely." That was the only word he said before walking off. I followed him cautiously. He was just getting the ingredients I had requested, so I relaxed a little bit. "Hmm…ah! Here we are. By the way, meet me in Twilight Park near the fountain at ten. In the morning, of course." He said as he cut something. He then moved, and I followed. He began searching for the next plant. "You don't have to bring anything in particular, but you might want some money." He said as another plant was cut. He stood up straight and turned toward me, grinning. He put the plants in my hands before wrapping his hands around mine. "See you then."

I felt my face heating up. I jerked my hands out of his. "Right. Thanks." I quickly walked out of the garden, not even turning around when Marluxia said goodbye or when Larxene said something that I assumed was an insult.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I tugged at the scarf around my neck. I felt uncomfortable. Well, of course I would. I was sitting on the edge of a fountain waiting for Marluxia to show up. I had dressed as I always did for the occasion. I had two shirts on, a long-sleeve and a short-sleeve. The long-sleeved shirt was light gray, and the short-sleeved shirt was blue with a snowflake on it. Other than that I had on blue jeans, sneakers, and a blue scarf. Once again, I have temperature issues.

I stuffed my hands into my pockets and stared at the floor. I played around with the things in my pockets as I waited. I didn't really have much, just my wallet, my cell phone, and my keys. I continued to play around with the contents of my pockets until I felt myself get a little bit colder and I saw everything get a tad bit darker. I looked up to find a smiling face. I was surprised and moved back by reflex. I would've fallen into the fountain if Marluxia hadn't grabbed onto my arm and pulled me up.

"My oh my. Are you alright, Vexen?" He was smiling again. I felt myself flush from embarrassment. I pulled my arm away from his and stood up.

"I'm fine, thank you." I said as I shoved my hands into my pockets.

Marluxia let out a rather loud laugh. "Well, I'm glad. Okay then, why don't we go walk down Main Street. Maybe we can find some interesting shops to look at." He reached over and tugged at my scarf once before smiling and starting to walk off. I exhaled into my scarf and followed him, catching up rather quickly.

As we walked down Main Street, looking at different shops, the two of us kept up a conversation. It was as if we were just two friends hanging out. Of course, I knew better.

"Hey Vexxy! Look at this shop over here." I looked up and followed Marluxia's finger to the shop he was talking about. It was a clothing store. Well, just about every store was. The thing that made this one stand out was all the colors. The store looked as though it had just about every color of everything. From where I was standing I could see spandex pants in every neon color out there, belts that looked like they had fallen on too many spots with wet paint, and just about everything else you could imagine.

I couldn't help but snicker. "Let's go check it out!" Marluxia exclaimed. He grabbed my wrist and dragged me towards the shop. Hey, I wasn't complaining, I wanted to see what this place was like. The door opened and we stepped in. There was some music I didn't recognize blasting and my eyes were having a freak out with all the colors.

I stuck my hands in my pockets and started walking around. The first thing I went to was the section full of jackets. I found them all very interesting, but there was one in particular that caught my eye. It was a black zip up that had an icy blue flower on it. It was incredibly pretty.

"Hey Vexxy! Look at this!" I turned my head to see Marluxia with a pink cowboy hat on. I left the jacket section and walked over to him. I cocked a brow and smirked.

"That's a rather…interesting article." I said, smiling. The cowboy hat looked a little out of place with his outfit. After all, he was wearing a white tank top and black skinny jeans. Maybe it looked good; I didn't really know anything about fashion.

He suddenly smirked and wrapped his arms around my neck. Ahhh…I think I had almost forgotten that I was with Marluxia. "So…how'd you like to give this cowboy a ride~?" He asked in a rather seductive voice. I grimaced in response.

"Thanks, but no thanks." I said. Marluxia pouted and let go, taking of the hat.

"Fiiiiiine~!" He put the hat back, moving onto another section. I let out a small sigh of relief. Well, at least he knew his limits. I began walking around again, looking at other things. I was looking at an odd pair of socks when Marluxia returned.

"Mm'kay, I'm ready to go, how about you?" He asked, smiling widely. I glanced down. He was holding a bag in his hand.

I looked back up at his face and nodded. "Yeah, I'm ready."

"Good! So, where would you like to eat? Or what would you like to eat~?"

I paused, thinking about this question. I glanced at my watch, seeing that it was already 12:30. Man, time really flew. "How about we eat at Tori Yan? It's a small restaurant that's just down the street."

Marluxia smiled. "Lovely! After we eat we can shop some more and then go watch Ponyo~!" He grinned widely as we began walking towards the restaurant.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

As Marluxia and I exited the theatre, chatting away, it occurred to me that I had quite a bit of fun today. I didn't hang out with Marluxia much, and when I did he was usually hitting on me. I would've never thought that this would be so enjoyable.

We kept on walking and talking as the sun got lower and lower. We had agreed that we would return to the park and go our separate ways there. Plus it only took about fifteen minutes or so to get there from the theatre. Although when we arrived we talked a bit longer.

Eventually I glanced at the clock. "Woah. It's late. I guess I should get going. Thanks again, and I'll talk to you on Monday." I said with a smile.

Marluxia smiled back and took a small step closer. "Hang on a second; I've got something to give you." He said. He put out his hand which held the bag from that crazy store.

I blinked. "Huh? Seriously?" He nodded in reply. "Umm…well, okay." I felt a little uneasy about receiving a gift. I always felt that it was wrong for people to give me stuff. I took the bag, but I should've guess that he was going to try at least something.

Marluxia's hand wove into mine and once again his arm was around my neck. Unfortunately, he went in for the kill this time. His lips pressed against mine and bad memories flew into my mind. I froze up, letting go of the bag stuck between our hands. I suddenly pushed back, my hand flying to my mouth.

The memories kept on flooding in and I could feel tears starting. "Oh my…I'm terribly sorry." That was all I could manage before I turned and ran away from a very confused pink-haired man.

TRAUMA!!!!!

Yeah….so Vexxy has trauma. But what is it~? You will find out…later!!! Well, later asd in pretty darn soon. I'm working on the next chapter right now. Hope you enjoyed my story. Tune in next time!
