A/N: Hello my lovely readers! It's been ages since I posted something. This piece was actually written all the way back in February as a gift to two lovely cosplayers on tumblr, freezepride and scarecrowartist. They are a couple and they cosplay Vexen and Lexaeus. They are both absolutely lovely people and I wrote this as a special gift to them. It's already been posted on Tumblr but I finally decided that I would post it here as well.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or it's characters. I only own this story.

I hope you all enjoy.

Wolf-chan out.


Dear Even,

I know you prefer being called by Vexen, but I cannot write this letter while thinking of you by that name. On a mission recently, I saw several places that were decorated for Valentine's Dar. I know you'll probably be quite cross with me for even paying attention to such a holiday that you deem so frivolous and unnecessary, but I believe that the punishment of having to listen to one of your lectures about how we have no hearts well worth the risk.

Despite having listened to your lectures and explanations hundreds, even thousands of times in the past, I am still certain that we can still feel to an extent. I know this because I still have the same yearning to protect Zexion that I first had when he was still little Ienzo and I still feel the same emotions and sensations towards you that I felt when I was still Aeleus, even though they are somewhat muted now. I still care for you, just as I did before. My chest feels the same ache whenever I see your weariness in the deep bruises beneath your eyes and the hunch in your shoulders after a night where you've once again forgone sleep in favor of working through the night in your labs. My arms yearn to hold you close and comfort you as I once did whenever I see you becomes frustrated with one of your experiments. Your face remains the only one I wish to see besides me when I lay down to sleep at night and the first one I see when I wake each morn.

I wish for things to return to the way they were before we lost our hearts and you first pushed me away. If you were to ever ask for me to be yours again in the way I was all those years ago, I would tell you that you need not even ask for I have always remained faithful despite not being allowed to remain at your side and never, not even for a moment, did I stop being yours. Throughout all this time, I have continued to care for you with all that I am, even without my heart.

What I really want to say, Even, is that my heart and soul still belong to you. My heart was, is, and always will belong to you, even now when I lack a heart to give. So, please, remember that if all others abandon you, you will never be alone for I will forever be at your side to stand by you and support you. Even, no one in any of the worlds will ever love another more than I love you. Yes, I love you, Even. I always have and as I said before, I always will, even long after I have died and faded into nothingness. My hearts has really never been truly lost for the entire time it has been with you.

Yours Truly,

Aeleus

P.S. Happy Valentine's Day
