So; who's up for a little Zemyx loving?

AN: I'd like you guys to know, I'm a bit of an idea/inspiration writer. So if you don't like something that's going on in any of my stories, you can just Review with your little dilemma or whatever. I've tried to use plots for my stories and I just get downright bored with the story before the first chapter's even written. This is also my first Fanfiction for this site. Yay me! R&R to show me your love! 3 Also. I try to keep characters in – well – in character. But sometimes I think I stretch those lines a bit too far. However, I'm just showing Zexion in this chapter as I pertain him to be. Thanks to my buddy AyJay for reading over the story and making sure there isn't too much boringness in it! Now I should stop rambling on before I forget what I was doing and my headache comes back. Enjoy!;

Zexion

I was not full of myself as many people would say. I simply took my studies seriously. I noted at how others seemed to lack in intelligence often spent their time doing mindless things that got them nowhere in life; thus I dedicated my life to studying and becoming intelligent in the hopes of finding a well-paying job and having a real life. This dedication has brought me to the tops of my classes and shown me to be the youngest in my grade. Or soon-to-be grade. This year I will be starting my first year of college – though I am but 16 years of age. I will be attending Hollow Bastion University, located in nowhere else but Hollow Bastion itself in Radiant Gardens. Just a few more days... and I would be living in their dorms and with their customs.

I had three days to prepare myself for the leave. My mom had moved us to Twilight Town the year before and now I would move back to Hollow Bastion. I never made any friends here in Twilight Town so it won't be hard to leave. Of course I hadn't been very social in Hollow Bastion either. People would merely remember me as the kid who knew it all. That is, except Axel and Roxas; two friends – if you'd call them that – that I socialized with in a few classes merely since they were grouped with me for projects so frequently. The last time I knew of Roxas, he was falling pretty hard for some girl by the name of Namine and Axel had scored and began dating a girl known as Xion. Love, just another distraction from intellect and another reason to slack off in life that I didn't need.

The alarm started beeping as Zexion woke up with a groan, checking the time he saw it was 7:00 AM and it was time to begin the day. He sat up and let his comforter drop from atop him as he stood and walked over to his dresser, which was located at the end of his bed and the corner of his wall farthest from the door in. Next to the dresser on the perpendicular wall was a large mirror so Zexion could check himself.

He yawned as he pulled out a long-sleeved shirt with a white body and teal-blue sleeves from the top drawer and threw it on. He closed that drawer and kneeled down to the bottom drawer, taking out a pair of baggy, torn up dark blue jeans and putting those on as well. Looking in the mirror he saw his usual, cold but tired expression and a messed up hairstyle from the day before. Brushing his fingers through his hair he aligned the hair so it would come down across his right eye.

"That's better.." he whispered to himself and turned around to walk out his door. His room was neatly kept except for a few research and note papers scattered across his desk from countless hours of studying before tiring. He walked across the large hall outside his door and down a flight of stairs till he ended up in the living room. It was no surprise that his mother was not up yet; seeing as she'd been tired of life and merely slept all the time since Zexion's father had left her, calling her a few colorful names. Even his own mother had fallen prey to love.

At least Zexion was able to fend for himself. He walked into the kitchen which was right next to the living room, separated merely by a small wall and a large opening. He brewed some black coffee for himself and his mother. Knowing she would have to come out eventually. He walked back into the living room and grabbed the television's remote, turning the large flat-screen television at the other end of the room on and turning to the New's Channel. They were showing updates on Heartless populations around Twilight Town and surrounding areas. Yawning, he took a sip of coffee before setting it down on a small table next to a comfy recliner chair. Just as he was about to walk out of the room in search of his mother, the screen flashed a 'New Update' which had caught Zexion's attention.

"Hello and welcome to Hollow Bastion's very on University." Said the New's Reporter; a short girl with a pale complexion and white hair. "This school is soon to be opening another year of college for its students and this year is bringing in some of the big names! Here we have Zexion Ishida and Demyx Okaite joining the school as freshmen. The school has high hopes for both of these student's successes."

Zexion stared at the television intently, not realizing when his mother had walked down the stairs and over to him. Watching the update with him.

"My boy, you're such a great mind. I'm so proud of you." Her kind voice took him out of thought. Zexion's mother was a caring and dear woman, who wasn't very old at all for truth. She had Zexion when she was 17 with his father, and now after 16 years he'd left her cause he believe she'd cheated on him, when really he's the one who cheated. It pained Zexion to see his mother in the current state she was in; her eyes only shown as hurt and confused.

But still; he smiled and hugged her. "Good morning, Mother." He said softly, walking over to the kitchen with her coffee cooling on the table and giving it to her gently.

"Thanks deary. It's going to be quite lonely without you here." She was indeed sad, but she still smiled, knowing her son was going to a great college. "I'll be sure to find out how to survive without you for a while though."

Zexion chuckled slightly at his mother. She was so dependent on him however, it did worry him that she was going to be left here in her state.

His attention turned back to the television as the reporter's face disappeared and a picture of the alleged Demyx Okaite appeared. His skin was very slightly tanned and his blonde hair was in a whack hairstyle like it would take hours to do. He wore a smug smile on his face and held a large blue sitar by him. Apparently he was going to be the next big hit in the music industry. Good. Zexion wouldn't have to worry about impending doom on his reputation as the class's smartest.

"Something you find enticing about that boy, Zexion?" his mother commented, giggling at Zexion's serious look appointed to the screen. When he looked back at his mother he had a questionable look on his face. Did his mother actually just question his sexual orientation, and just ask him if he liked some random person from the television? His own mother!?

"W-what? No! I was just listening. Apparently, he's something big that's joining HBU this year with me." he plainly stated, showing no irritation with his mother, as it would cause to upset her since his mother was as delicate as a flower petal nowadays.

"Ah. Well, maybe you two could become friends then. You're so antisocial, you know, dear. It's not very good to have no friends. When something goes wrong, who can you run to?" She looked at him after having a sip of her luke warm coffee. Her expression was very worrisome.

"Don't worry Mom," he smiled "If anything happens to me, I'm a big-boy. I can take care of myself."

She nodded and went back to sipping on her coffee. "You should get ready today. It will be a one-day train ride to get there from here. And you've only three days left, right? Maybe I could take you shopping for a treat today so you have everything you need. I want you to be prepared for this, dear."

He shook his head politely. "Don't worry, Mom. I can do it on my own. I was planning on leaving tonight, so I'd have a little extra time tomorrow to take in Hollow Bastion's scenery again. Don't waste your money on me, I've worked enough and earned my own."

"Okay, okay, dear. I'll be in my room." She stated, shuffling herself back up the stairs and into her room with her coffee. After Zexion heard the door close he let out a sigh of relief. Sometimes, his mother worried to much about him. After finishing his coffee Zexion headed back upstairs and began to prepare for his day. Starting out with a shower.

Well that was too ghastly or horrible. My headaches beginning to come back so I'm going to stop it there. However I will try to have the next chapter out soon as I can! Spring Break's the win3 R&R to let me know what you think and what you say about it!
