LEXX

AN: Hi, I'm K.D., very nice to meet you. Um…I'm not really a writer-person, however I find myself oddly motivated to give this a go, on account of Lexx being so damn interesting/entertaining and with it having been left open with so many possibilities… Um, I don't really have a clear-cut path through this, I'm just sort of going to tread through my many muddled fiction-related thoughts and see if it comes out decent, or…like crappy Lexx pudding. So thanks for reading thus far!

Disclaimer: I am not smart enough to own any of this stuff.

So, without further nonsense: My strange little version of Lexx 5.0!

1.

Xev sighed as she rolled over haphazardly in her new sleep chamber. Though it grew a little every day, the bed was still a little smaller than she was used to, and she felt her arm drape over the side, falling victim to the light, but not unpleasant breeze that stirred around her bed. She moved her delicate fingers as it wound around her hand, not yet willing to open her eyes and fall into routine. Her sleep had been a sound, dreamless kind, which left her feeling partially grateful, and partially frustrated that she had not had a fantasy encounter to help alleviate some of her sexual frustration. With a sigh that was much more of a frustrated grunt, she whipped her arm back into her side, and, using the momentum rolled herself over on to her belly.

Her satin skin slid up against a slightly thicker kind, the warmth from it throwing aside any shivers from the breeze and spreading heat to all the right places as her hand draped carelessly across his chest with a light thwack of skin on skin. Hearing him let out a tiny grunt, her plump lips pulled into a smirk and she allowed herself to open one eye and take a peek. He was scowling at her, struggling to mask a mischievous smile of his own.

"I was trying to sleep," his dark, velvety voice had an instant effect on her, and she moved her hips to accommodate the growing want.

"Mmm," she groaned lazily as she pressed herself around his leg delicately, and, of course, he acted unaffected by the movement, "I thought the dead don't sleep?" She smiled again, kissing his neck once.

"They do not," he conceded, running a hand through her hair before tracing a finger along her jaw, looking down on her with gushing adoration, "and I've got thousands of years worth of sleep to catch up on," he smiled, and she marveled at how bright his eyes were, how they seemed so alive. She felt a million different admonishments flood her mind all demanding that she ascribed the reason she loved him so fiercely to it's own specific attribute, but none felt sufficient enough.

She kissed him with all the passion she could muster, feeling his lips crash against hers with a matched sense of need, their bodies melting together and falling into time with one another. She felt his body react to her slightest touch, his breathing coming in gruff heaves as her hands explored every bit of him. In that moment, despite all of her pining, all of her uncontrollable need, she had never wanted anything as badly as she wanted him then.

"Kai…" she sighed blissfully, and it was her own delighted breath that woke her from her heavenly reverie, and brought her crashing back down to reality. The draft in her room sent a chill through her body as her arm plumped with goose bumps, but the icy stab of regret in her gut was far cooler than the air around her. She rolled over perilously slowly, knowing damn well that he wouldn't be next to her. Kai had never been to her bed, and he never would.

Kai was dead.

Several worlds away, floating through the vast dullness of space, a void where even boredom seemed interesting compared to the every day tedium, a light-hearted, genuine chuckle bounced off the cold metallic hull of the Noah.

"Of course," squawked Prince between fits of laughter; his hair was longer, and his eyes showed signs of tireless exhaustion, but the laughter that shook him was the real deal, bringing tears to his maniacal eyes, and causing him to shake his head as though he'd just heard a hilarious joke he was still trying to fully understand.

"Of course we need Kai."
