A Christmas story

2nd December

Kitchen fun


As always, it was long past the decent time to wake up that the red head rose, he turns slowly in the bed, as he lets his warm hand move gently down the slender and pale shoulder before him.

"Hello Zexy." He whispers gently, while he feels the cold body against himself. He had found out that he was the only one of them with any body heat at all, the others were cold. "You awake yet?"

"Of course," The drowsy Zexion answers. He really didn't look like it, and none of the others knew about it, but the reason Axel always woke up late, was because Zexion wanted to sleep long. "Do we have to get up now?"

"Of course not, I know how much you like to cuddle." Axel laughs and wraps his arms gently around his feline lover. Being sure to use all of his powers to warm him a little, Axel had no idea why, but the night had been damned cold! He had suddenly started to feel ice cold! "Hm… you are still shivering… want me to warm you better up?"

Zexion gives a confused cry, as Axel flips him down under him in the bed, their naked bodies almost steams up the room by the contrasts of their heat.

"Is this all you can think off?" Zexion sighs, as he feels the warmth from Axel seep into his body. His body seemed so unfamiliar with the warmth. Each time he lay down too close to Axel, his body would feel like it was in a heat. "But that is ok. We have some time to spare before we have to get to the town again."

Axel gives a pleased grin, as a beautiful blush once more covers his lover's cheeks, which were the sign that Zexion were ready for anything. That was the only thing that had made him able of using kinky torture on him the entire night, other vice Zexion would thrash around like crazy, and then he would use his powers to force Axel out of the room.

Both of them was quite busy, before Axel give a sudden shiver, as he feel something soft brush over his back.

"If I turn around now and find you staring back at me, I will kill you Xigbar." Axel groan weary, and he turns slowly to look up at the grinning man, who tried to think off a quick get away. "You are so dead…"

"Like you would pull away from him before you are done." Xigbar laughs, before he point his tongue, and disappear up through the roof.

"I'll kill him for you later." Zexion complains, before he pulls the furious Axel down to himself again. "Now fuck. Or I will kill you too."

Axel gives an affectionate smile to his lover, before he kisses him gently on the cheek, and he continues as he was ordered.


The entire Organization was up, as a overly pleased Axel make his way to the kitchen to get his dinner. He knew he had been good in bed when Zexion had to rest.

"Good of you to finally join us."

Axel give a grin, and waves to his superior, who seemed to order that poor Marluxia make him dinner.

"So, anything special happened when I slept?" Axel asks, and looks at Xemnas, who once more buries his face in the newspaper. He preferred a newspaper over Axel any time. "Is it just me, or is this place awfully cold?"

"I haven't noticed at all." Xemnas answers, and takes a spoon to feed the annoyed Saix some of his own dinner. "You noticed anything Saix?"

"No, but most of us is cold Axel." Saix answers, as he does his best to not lose his patience with his leader. Now he had even started to feed him himself, what kind of animal did he think he was?! "Maybe it really is something, but it won't affect any other than you Axel, so we will naturally overlook it."

"That is ok Fido." Axel answers, before he walks over to Marluxia. "What are we getting for dinner today?"

"I'm not sure. Larxene is in one of her mood swings again. She will not make food, and she will not see anyone." Marluxia sighs, as he looks tired trough the coking book he had found in the shelves.

"She didn't get her shampoo didn't she? I can swear that Saix forgot that too." Axel points out, and Marluxia nods, before he allows Axel to look over the coking book with him. Axel was the best food-knower of them after Lexaeus and Demyx, so it was vice to ask him about it first. "Are we only having dinner or are you going to make deserts too?"

"If someone helps me a little it might be deserts too. It seemed you guys came back with candy for an army yesterday." Marluxia points out, and tries his best to overlook Xaldin and Luxord, who walks back and forth in the hallways, while they laugh of his pink apron.

"I think we are going back to Radiant Garden later, we could probably buy some meat then, and we could try to make that." Axel points out, and shows Marluxia one of the pages and Marluxia nods agreeing. It was at least a good thing that Axel could be good enough in the kitchen. The others just tried to run of when he or Larxene needed help, "So Saix, who will be going to town today?"

"We are going today. The rest of you can just stay here!" Xemnas complains, as he shoves a spoon into the confused berserkers' mouth before Saix could complain about it. He hated when Xemnas got protective about him, it was degrading.

"So you really dare to leave the castle in our hands?" Marluxia laughs a little amused, before he remembers back to what had happened the last time both Xemnas and Saix left the house. Luxord had turned the entire living room into a gambling dump, and by the time their leader had come back, Luxord and Axel had come to a stand still in cloth poker, only underwear left. And the rest of them had all cheered for dear life.

"I will trust the good judgment of you all." Xemnas sighs, before he try to set up a list of what they needed, and he tries to overlook Xaldin's dangerous hints to buying more knives, until the knife almost scalped him. "Xaldin, you are not getting anything this time!"

"Curse you all!" Xaldin growl, as he tries to overlook the laughing Xigbar, who wrote up the things he wanted on the list Xemnas sent around. "Xigbar… please… You know what I want… write it on for me…"

"No… I am not writing on that under my name." Xigbar complains, and hands the list to their answer of youth, but Demyx was far past hearing them. He had bought himself some headphones, and were now busy listening to his wonderful music, he had found cool CD's in town, he didn't even know there were so much rock in the world! "Hey… If you don't write something on the list, I will rape you."

Demyx turn his attention to Xigbar, who holds the list for him, and was ready to spring into action if he didn't write anything. Of them, only Demyx were at a legal age, and were still a virgin, and on the top of that, he was good looking, so Xigbar had made it a life goal to at least help him out of his virgin state.

"Oh… I don't need anything." Demyx answers, he had bought what he had wanted the day before, so he didn't need anything else for a while. But then he look a little scared up at Xigbar, who gives a big grin, he had said it hadn't he? If he didn't write something on it, he would rape him. And Demyx didn't want to write anything on it! "What is wrong Xigbar?"

Demyx gives a terrified cry, as Xigbar jumps him down in the couch, and moves his hand gently up the younger man's leather covered leg. Then he lets it glide under the tight black top Demyx used when he didn't bother putting on his cloak.

Some seconds pass with the brave fight, until the situation get trough to the others, and both Axel and Xaldin jump into action, and pulls the over horny Xigbar away from the crying Demyx.

"Are you ok?" Axel asks a little worried. Roxas also comes to see if he was ok. One of Demyx's problems was that he was afraid of contact. It seemed he had had a bad experience when he had been human, he couldn't remember what it was himself, but it staid with him no matter what. "Xaldin… take Xigbar out."

"To kill him?" Xaldin holds his spears ready.

"No… just let him get a cold shower or something…" Saix complains, before he sits down before the shivering Demyx, and he nuzzles his hair gently. "You do have a weird fear Demyx, you should try to outgrow it soon, dear little Demyx."

"Will someone get to town and buy me something to make now?!" Marluxia suddenly screech out, and clobbers both of them with a spoon. "I give a damn about Demyx's far lost human problems… but I do pity any one who gets jumped by Xigbar. Now get me groceries!"

Xemnas gives a beaten nod, before he grabs the list from the shivering Demyx, and he pulls the worried Saix with him. He really needed a excuse to get his lover away from the musician anyway, he didn't like to see his Saix to friendly with others.

"Hey, maybe we can help Marluxia all of us." Roxas asks, as he tries to find something to cheer the water guardian up with. "We can make cookies or something can't we?"

"Why not try and make these?" Marluxia asks, and hand them on of the cooking books Tifa had sent with them. "These cookies look good, and it has to do with this Christmas thing." He points out, and Axel grabs Demyx by the hand, before he pulls him to the kitchen.

"Don't worry, let us just have fun now. I mean, how hard can it be to make some small cookies?" Axel laughs, but he did not himself understand half of what it would come with it.


"So, I put this here?" Demyx looks at the flour at the kitchen table, as he points to the bowl with milk and eggs.

"Yeah, and you have to remember to whip it when you apply it." Axel answers, and walk to him, he leans over Demyx's back, before he wraps his arms around him. Then he lays his hand over the hand Demyx was about to whip the mixture with. "You have to whip it rough, but I do think you would manage to splatter everything over the walls."

Demyx blush a little, as he feels the warm hand on his own, as Axel lead the coking for him, and shows him how to whip the food right.

"Now you can put in some more flour." Axel suddenly says. Demyx was lost in the warm feeling that spread through his body, and really slow to comprehend anything. "Demyx?"

He snaps back to reality, and quickly takes the flour with his other hand, before he puts it into the bowl. Then Axel once more led his hands in whipping the messy liquid.

And while the quite suspicious couple continues with the pancakes, the others watch them quite curious from the living room.

"So Zexion, are you feeling jealous?" Xaldin asks, as he takes a new beer from the fridge. It seemed it would once more take a time before they could have the joy of eating.

"No, I think they look cute together." Zexion chuckle heartily, as he looks at the blushing blonde, it really looked like Demyx trusted Axel, letting him stay so close. "So… did you kill Xigbar? I haven't seen him in a while."

"Xemnas decided that he needed to cool down a little, so he brought him to the town just to be sure." Xaldin tries to not think over the terrible facts: their two leaders, and the second oldest of the superiors were gone and he had to take care of the younger ones just to be sure. They would all die if Axel did something stupid again. But it seemed like he wouldn't do anything at all now, which was good.

"Axel? I think you can stop whipping it now." Marluxia entangles the confused Axel from the blushing Demyx. "Demyx can try to make the pancakes, while Axel can warm some water for the soup. Xaldin! Come and cut the vegetables!"

"Why me?" Xaldin had a feeling Marluxia had something against him.

"Because no one can chop like you and if we get someone else to do it, we will have a knife fight on our hands. I do hope you are old enough to fight against the urge to chop at us." Marluxia answers, and hands the growling Xaldin one of the cutting knives, and he does not notice how Axel and Demyx pulls away at the sight of Xaldin getting a weapon inside the castle. "Now cut!"

"Ok, you don't have to yell like that Marley." Xaldin sighs, he could have easily have declined, but when even their black sheep Axel made and effort, he should too. "Zexion, can you help me wash these?"

The slender man nods, and putts the book he had been reading away, before he walks to the sink, and starts to wash the vegetables. He hands them to Xaldin when he thinks they are clean enough.

But one problem with most of them for the moment, was the lack of patience, so as Xaldin had been able to cut up all the vegetables without killing anything, the case was clear: the water didn't boil as quick as they all would have wished.

The first that happened was that Xaldin in his frustration decided to hit at the poor machine with his spears, almost getting the entire thing to blow up before Zexion and Marluxia decided to stop him, Roxas almost dying of laughter from the living room.

But as the oven was far gone from hope, a new plan formed in their heads and it involved Axel.

"So… we set it on the ground… and I have to burn it?" Axel asks, and looks at the others. It seems everyone in the castle desired to watch Axel burn the food to crisps. "What do we do if the alarm goes? I do have a feeling that we might get troubles if Xemnas finds out Xaldin killed the oven."

"If it comes out of control, we have Demyx and Vexen." Zexion answers, and overlooks Xaldin who were about to point out his wind powers, "Do not think about it Xaldin, of course wind can eradicate the flames, but it can also give it more powers."

"It can?" Xaldin asks confused, before Vexen pull him away to give him some education about flames and wind.

"Is it just me, or is it really cold out here?" Axel asks, and pulls up the zipper to his coat. It was freezing!

"Axel… we are cold." Roxas point out, and pats his best friend on the back. "You should get burning if you are cold."

"Someone is hungry." Demyx sets the casserole with the water down on the metal ground, "Ok… just burn around it until it is warm enough, then I can cool it down with some cold water, before we can get in again, we live in the creepiest world ever!"

"I think this place is nice and quiet." Luxord point out, and look up at the castle from the main street. All of them knew that the place was scary as hell, and that it had been created by their inner beings, but they just didn't know which part of them were so dark and empty. They were really just like everyone else, feelings or no feelings.

"Ok! I'm starting this thing now!" Axel cheer, and a circle of flames appears around the small casserole, the water starts to boil faster than all of them could have ever hoped. But of course even this brilliant scheme has to go to hell one way or another. "Um… is the casserole supposed to melt like that?"

It goes silent, as Axel stops the fires, and he looks confused at the almost red metal. Ok, that hadn't been a part of the plan.

Demyx quickly toss water on it, but it seems it was far from helping after Axel's flames, then Vexen spring into action, and freezes the entire pot.

"I don't think this was the greatest idea." Zexion kicks at the ice cube in front of them. "I do hope we can be able to cover over this in our defense against both Xemnas and Larxene… Xemnas will kill us for playing with fires, and Larxene will slaughter us all for melting and freezing her favorite casserole."

"I can take this away." Vexen answers, and take the cold cube up with no problem. "I need something to break. I'm getting bored."

"I can try to make an excuse to use on Larxene when she finds it missing." Marluxia sighs, about to walk in when he blinks confused, as he feels something cold and wet in his eyes, "What the?"

All of them walk to the clearing at the towns square, the lights around them dims away and the monitors on the giant building is the last light they have.

Axel holds his hand confused up, as he takes one of the small snowflakes that fall down from the black skies. He gives a small shiver at it melts in his hand, so cold.

"It's snowing?" Demyx holds his hands up to catch the snow he could, all the others except Zexion also does the same. "So cool, we can have Christmas too now, right?"

"I doubt we can have that with Xemnas as our leader." Axel answers, and looks at the snow that fall silent to the ground, and it soon make a white blanket over the black metal ground. "We should just get in again now."

"Don't be such a party killer!" Roxas cheer, and before any can understand what their youngest member planned, Luxord get hit down by a poorly made snowball, and he falls right to the ground, as the first victim. "One down! The youngest members against the seniors!"

"No… then I won't have my Zexy." Axel whimpers, and grabs the confused Zexion hard, and he hugs him protective to make a point. "So I will make the teams, me, Roxas, Zexion, Demyx, against the losers."

Xaldin was about to complain as he understand what Axel and Roxas was starting up, but before he could say anything, a hail of ice infested snow balls fly past him, and Axel and his team quickly runs off to find a place to hide.

"And who is the losers now?" Xaldin asks, as he gives in to the desire to shower Axel or Demyx with snow balls. "Ok Vexen, they can't have gotten far, and we have the advantage with the ice balls. Lexaeus, you can probably throw the hardest of us, take the snow balls Vexen makes for you, Luxord… you can try to freeze time if one of us is about to get hit."

"What about me?" Marluxia sigh, he had a feeling his flowers didn't like the cold. He wasn't warm at all or something like that, but flowers didn't like to grow in the cold.

"You can sneak around…" Xaldin says, before they all starts to make the snow balls for the first assault, and they make sure that the younger ones had no chance in victory over them at all.

And then the first snow ball war in 'the world that never was' s' history starts, and if anyone had heard the war cry Xaldin and Lexaeus expelled as they ran towards their targets, they would have run away screaming right away, but if they as the younger unknowns also had seen this spectacle… they would have died laughing.

This was of course the thing Axel and the others almost did, doing their best to not reveal their hiding place behind some of the stair cases in the back alleys, as they sees Xaldin run screaming by with his spears, snow balls flying around him as he searched for his prey.

"I'll die if he doesn't stop." Roxas laugh, before he sticks his head in the snow to be able to keep from laughing to high, and even the calm Zexion does his best to conceal his amused smirk.

"Hm… we should start now." Zexion get forth after a little, and he tries to sound fairly serious as the war cries fades down the street. "Everyone have the plan, we will take use of our brains instead of… brute force… as Xaldin decided to demonstrate for us."

"Ok, Demyx, you get up to the tower, while I sneak up behind them, while you Roxas lead their eyes from us. Zexion will use his illusion powers to conceal all of us, until we start attacking! I use flames to melt their attacks, while Demyx makes the ground into ice and makes them all fall! Then Demyx will create water clones, and they will all attack while we stand there and laugh! Right?" Axel explains, everyone nods to agree to the plan. "Ok, now we will start!"

Zexion quickly use a darkness illusion to cloak them all, and Demyx make his way to the tower, as the other team makes their way towards the square once more. Roxas run towards them, and toss a snow ball hard at the confused Luxord, before he run up towards the tower in the square. He runs to the top of the stairs before a storm of ice balls starts to encircle him, but before they could hit, a storm of fires comes to counter them, and it melts the first attack away.

"Shit!" Xaldin growls, before all of them start to toss with all their force, but no snow hit the dancing Roxas, as Axel does the utmost best in protecting him. "That's cheating! Where the hell are you Axel?!"

"I'm here!" The illusion around all of them disappears, as Demyx had gotten to his position, and he starts to play with all his might on the sitar. A waterfall runs down the tower, Roxas quickly hides behind it as it makes its way to the other team. Axel jumps away with Zexion in his embrace.

And as the water fades, the others tries to keep their balance on the ice ground, before the water clones appears, a hail of ice balls massacres the other team brutally.

And in the meantime, the winning team laughs all they can, as they look at their cursing elders. Marluxia promises to kill them all, while Xaldin has to use his spear as a cane to keep from falling. Vexen was smart enough to levitate, and he uses his shield to keep from falling as he gets his balance back. Lexaeus on the other hand, was to big to get up from the ground, and he just sit there and cries, as the snow balls hit him time over and time over.

But of course even this war has to have an end, and the thing the warriors hadn't noticed, was the men that walks up towards the castle, and that notice them as they walk past.

"What the hell do you guys think you are doing?!" The quite furious leader growl, as he sends the dusks to help up the fallen warriors. "I thought Zexion would be sure that you guys didn't start something like this!"

Zexion gives a gulp, and quickly try to hide behind Axel, but to late as Xemnas already saw him.

"Um… we just decided… to have some fun." Zexion answers and he gives the most innocent look he had, and Xemnas was not able to yell at him at all. Zexion could look like a little kid if he wished to. And that was something none of them could fight against.

"But the rest of you…" Xemnas yells, and he was about to give them the yelling of a lifetime, when he could feel a calming hand on his back, and he look confused at Saix.

"Xemnas, it is natural of them to at least want to have some fun." Saix whispers gently, and he try to overlook Xigbar, who fall to the ground with most of the nobodies that had the groceries they had gotten. Xemnas thinks over it a little, before he was about to complain about the fact that they had no feeling, and didn't need to have fun at all. But then the most unexpected thing happens, as Saix could not resist it anymore, and pushes a snow ball right at his superiors face. Complete silence hangs over them all, as they look in awe at Saix, who laughs with all his might. "You should have seen your face! Priceless!"

Xemnas suddenly acts, and push the confused Saix down into the snow, and he smiles amused as the Luna diviner tries to fight free.

"You are right, this is really fun." Xemnas laughs, as he tries to keep the furious beast down. While the others understand that it was ok to start again.

The war rages until the need for food comes back, and they all retreat into the castle, and the fallen ones get helping to get into the warmth again.

"So… the food will be done soon?" Axel looks at Marluxia, who had gotten help from Larxene to finish the food while the others had been outside.

"Yeah, Roxas and Demyx are getting the pancakes done, and Xaldin is working slowly but steady on the soup." Larxene answers and look a little confused at the shivering Axel. "Are you ok?"

"Yeah… just have to… take a really warm shower." Axel whisper, and walk out of the kitchen, the others looks confused after him, no one else had any care about the coldness from their wet clothes at all.

"Ok, I think we all have to change clothes." Zexion sighs, as he gets out of his soaked jacket, and he tries to overlook how Demyx was looking at him. He was just lucky that he had clothes under the coat or Demyx would have had a heart attack, or maybe perv poisoning was a more accurate word? "I will go and see what Axel is doing… he can't possibly be that cold."

"I'll come too!" Roxas cheers, but Xemnas quickly stops him. "What? I want to help too!"

"I do not doubt that, but do you really desire to help Axel in the shower? That is the only question I will ask you." Xemnas point out, and Roxas goes silent, before he walk to Demyx instead, both of the watch television in silence.


Zexion walk slowly into the bathroom, as is sure to lock the door before he walks to the shower.

"Axel? Are you alright?" Zexion asks worried, and look at Axel, who sits in the corner of the shower, the water so warm that the room was covered in steam, just the red hair made Zexion sure that the red head was there at all.

"Yeah… just needed to scold myself a little…" Axel really didn't really want to get up at all. He knew he wasn't supposed to feel at all, but he could feel the cold of winter and he had really done his best to conceal it from the others.

"Stupid little Axel." Zexion sighs gently, and sits down before him, and he didn't mind the water that burn around him, as he wraps his arms gently around his lover. "You could have gotten some warmer clothes if you felt so cold, we all understands that our fire user can freeze."

"I just… didn't want to worry anyone." Axel whispers, and relaxes in his loved one's embrace. He could only feel such bliss in Zexion's care. He was really his better half. "I'm sorry, you are soaked."

"I was before I came in here. I needed a bath anyway then." Zexion whispers, and lay down in Axel's embrace. "This was a good day wasn't it? I really hope we can have more fun like this. We might not need to create a new kingdom hearts at all. We are all entities with the ability to feel, maybe false feelings… but we do feel."

"I know… right now… I feel." Axel whisper gently, and gives Zexion a loving kiss on the cheek. "For you."
