At last! The much talked about last book of the Lighted Hearts Series. I hope you all like it! If or some reason I had some trouble trying to think of a good plot for Marluxia and Larxene. This is a small first chapter so I guess it's more of a test, if you guys like it please tell me and let me know if you want more! Thank and God Bless!

He's Not Gay?!

Chapter One

*MARLUXIA*

I watched her as we were in history class. Luckily she was looking out the window, and she couldn't see my longing. She was my bosses daughter. Yet Larxene was also the love of my life. I wanted to be with her so badly it ached through my entire core. I shook my head and kicked myself under the table, maybe the pain will help. I looked up at the tired old man who was relentlessly trying to teach us something we really didn't want to learn. I stifled a yawn and stretched my arms, accidently hitting her shoulder.

"Sorry!" I muttered looking into her beautiful sea green eyes.

"Its fine" She shrugged turning back to the window barely giving me the time of day. Her beautiful blonde hair fell over her shoulder.

She didn't really dress like most girls at this school. She dressed a little more modestly. She always wore that hawk leg necklace with a pearl inside. It was really interesting. Sometimes she'd catch me looking at it and I'd have to try to make up some sort of lame excuse. Did I mention that this girl was also my neighbor? Oh man, I was losing it. I, Marluxia Grimm was hopelessly in love with someone? I mean I use to be the ladies man of the school!

"Mr. Grimm, what was the answeron the board?" cranky old man Ansem asked.

I stifled a groan as I sat up. I had absolutely no clue what the old cook was talking about. I felt a soft nudge on my shoulder and looked down to see a small piece of paper. "Um…The Krebs Cycle"

"Thank you Miss Nymphia, but next time, please allow Mr. Grimm to answer"

Larxene just rolled her eyes and returned her gaze out the window. Ansem wasn't her biggest fan, but she really did save my butt. The ringing of the bell was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard. I picked up my bright red back pack and poked Larxene before she could leave.

"Hey thanks for that…Ansem always likes to make me look like an idiot" I said as we walked out into the busy hall way.

"Yea, He can be a real jack sometimes. If he didn't like kids I don't see why he's here" She said rolling her eyes.

I stayed in step with her as we walked closer to the cafeteria. "Hey you going in?" I asked pointing towards the buffet like lunch line.

"No…I…have to go home" Larxene said pulling her black bag closet to her.

"Oh…alright…see you in history?" I asked.

"Um yea…see you" She was already heading towards the front door of the school.

I sighed watching her walk away. I couldn't help but notice how kicking her butt looked in those black jeans. I felt a pat on my back and saw my best friend Riku glancing with me at the front door. He gave me a sympathetic nod and turned back to Sora and his girl friend Kairi. I followed his way towards the cafeteria line. I was the odd man out in the couples. My two best friends, Demyx and Zexion were holding hands and being the kind of mushy and using the kind of romantic language that would make a sailor blush. Then you had protective Riku over his new little angel Naminè. She had been really sweet in giving me advice when it came to Larxene. Then there were Sora and Kairi, they were the ones with the longest relationship.

So in all I was sadly by myself in the "tunnel of Love". I mean sure, I get a couple of glances from some nice girls, despite my vibrant pink hair. But I didn't want some fling that would just last through high school. I wanted the real deal. I wanted what Riku had. The way Naminè looked up at Riku with such admiration and love just melted my heart. I am suppose to be the bachelor of the group, you know, getting with a bunch of girls and just chilling through high school. But what's the point? I wanted to be with someone like me, I hoped that Larxene was that someone.

"What's with the sad look, did you have trouble with Ansem again?" Naminè asked lightly touching my arm in concern.

"Nope, Girl trouble" I said rolling my eyes.

"Don't worry Mar, she'll come around, I'm sure of it" She patted my arm and turned around to carry her food.

We all went to sit at our usual table. The girls had forgotten their old table and started to sit with us. That just made our group even more fun. I generally liked the girls staying with us. I'm glad that both Kairi and Naminè got good strong guys to take care of them. After all that Kairi went through in just a week, I was worried for her. Luckily she handled it with grace, and with Sora by her side she became the person she was before Gaston.

"What do we want to do this weekend?" Demyx asked sitting on the other side of Naminè. They had really gotten close.

"I think you guys should do a triple date" I said munching into my apple.

"But…what about you?" Naminè asked.

"Oh I'll chill at home. I'm not really in the mood. I need to get some work done anyway."

"Are you sure?"

"Very"

"You just want to have a night alone with Larxene." Nami said smiling at me.

"The day she wants to be alone with me is the day I'll kiss Demyx square on the lips" I said smiling a challenge at Naminè.

I looked over at Zexion to see what he would do. He continued to read his book as if nothing happened. But with his right hand he grabbed the back of Demyx's chair and scooted him closer. I laughed and started eating my pizza. I tried not to let the green eyed monster rise in me as I looked around at all my happy friends. They were blissfully unaware of anything but the love of their sweetheart. I looked across the cafeteria towards Xion. She was an old friend who used to sit at our table. She wasn't exactly the nicest of people but she had always been warm to me. She stopping hanging around with us when Riku expressed that he didn't feel the same way towards her that she did of him. I always thought it was hard for her to see us all happy and about and she with a broken heart.

She was talking with some of her softball friends that she had made. Once I had caught her eye she smiled at me. I was normally the only one she had warmed up to in the first place. I looked around the table and nodded. I stood up and walked over towards Xion. She scooted over and patted the other part of her seat towards me. Her friends giggled as I sat down.

"We were just talking about you" Xion said with a smile. She still had her dark black dyed hair. She wore a black shirt with black sabbath written over it. Her big blue eyes were darkened with black eyeliner. She was defiantly one in a million. She was what she wanted to be, and I respected her for it.

"And what were you ladies saying?" I asked smiling around the table.

"We were hoping you would come to this Saturday's game. I was wondering you wanted to do something with us after"

"Count me in then…I'll be in the front row with a foam finger" I said smiling at Xion.

"I don't see how you handle it" Xion's friend Yuna said.

"Handle what?"

"Being with all those happy couples, and not having someone has to be torment"

I noticed how she looked past my shoulder. I turned and saw Tidus, one of Sora's other friends was with his girlfriend Selphie. They looked happy.

"It's not easy…Maybe we should make our own club. Like in this book I once read…the Broken Hearts club. We could all survive unhappily together" I said winking at all of them.

"I seriously think we should. We could get Larxene to join too!" Xion said excitedly swatting my arm.

"Who broke her heart?" I asked.

"Not in a romantic way like us…but she's broken all the same" Xion said taking a bite from her homemade sandwich.

I stayed with the girls for a little while longer. It was Xion, Yuna, Yuna's cousin Rikku, and their friend Pain. I saw the questioning looks coming from Demyx. But he didn't understand. None of them really did. They were there happily living in their forever after. Here I was, a senior, with no car, and no girlfriend.

"Are you working tonight?" Xion asked as everyone started to get up and throw their lunch away.

"Yep. I think so, I guess I need to check in with Larxene and see if I am or not. If you see her before I do, tell her I'm looking for her?" I asked peering at all of them.

"Will do, have a good day and I'll try to stop by at the shop tonight. I need new flowers for my room anyway." Xion said smiling at me before exiting the busy lunch room.

I always felt bad for Xion. She never had a chance with Riku. She went about it all the wrong way also. I hoped that in her future good things were sure to come. I walked over to my other friends. They all looked questioningly at me, but I didn't feel much like explaining. Everyone said goodbye to their respected other except for Kairi and Sora, they were the same grade. I followed Riku towards the senior hall.

"Did you have a good lunch?" Riku asked as we stopped by his locker first. Mine was further down the hall.

"Yea, I liked hanging out with some of the girls. They're pretty nice." I said leaning up against the one next to his.

"Did you ever tell Xion…how sorry I am that it all had to be like this?" He asked pulling out some of his stuff.

"yea, I think she understands a little better now…it's just hard…to see the one you like…not being with you…" I added as he shut his locker softly.

"I wish there was something I could do"

"It will all heal in time" I said patting his back as we walked towards my locker.

"You wanted to see me?" A certain voice asked behind me.

I turned to see Larxene, the same as she was when she left. I'm sure others wouldn't agree with me, but she left me breathless whenever I saw her. Especially if she took me by surprise, which she liked to do often. Riku said a quick hello but walked on towards class to leave me alone with her.

"Um…yea" I mumbled taken off guard. "I wanted to know if I'd be working tonight…"

"I asked daddy when I went home today, he said he needed your help if you didn't mind. There was going to be a funeral tomorrow and they wanted a couple bouquets." She said instructively, she always talked like that when work was brought up. Somehow I found very sexy.

"Alright, I'll be there. I'll walk there right after school. Are you working with me? Or will it be just me and Luxord?" I asked hoping for a good answer.

"Well…my dad said he needed me…" She said drifting off moving past me to get to our next class.

My insides did a pure jump for joy as I watched the blonde hair sway off her shoulders. I would get a whole day with her. Even if I was working, it would soon become the best day of my life.
