"She's perfect. Absolutely, undeniably, Unfathomably perfect!" Zexion thought to himself.
For a while now he found himself in a rather strange twist. He was, for lack of a better term, in love. Real love, like the kind Walt Disney would make a movie about. The kind of love you only read or dream about.
The girl with whom he was so infatuated with, named Maya, wasn't just your typical teenage girl, Zexion was convinced that the was a real life angel.
She was everything. Smart, funny, beautiful, and most of all, she was sweet enough to make the blue-grey haired boys teeth sore as if he had eaten something too sugary. She was his dream girl in every sense of the word.
She was worth every bit of pain in the world.
When he was near her, he felt like his legs could collapse at any moment! Just hearing her sweet, velvety voice was enough to make his heart race and nearly burst from his chest. He had to make a move and fast before someone beat him to it.
He went to the one person he knew could help him. Axel. Axel was the guy who was never single unless he wanted to be. He could have any girl he wanted at the drop of a hat. Getting advice from him was nearly foolproof!
"Well man," the redhead smiled "I hope it helps. By the way, practice makes perfect. Just run it over a few times in your head until you got it memorized. Then go on for the kill!"
Zexion laughed"Thank you Ax, i really appreciate this. We should probably get to class before the bell rings."
"Good call man. See ya."
The two parted ways and went to their classes. Zexion was too nervous to think about his work. Maya was right there, sitting next to him.
"Hey, Zex?" She said, tapping lightly on his shoulder.
"Y-yes?" His heart practically flipped when he felt her delicate fingers on his shoulder.
"D'you have the answer for number 17?" She gave him a silly grin.
"Sure do," he returned the smile. "It's C."
"Thanks man, you're a life saver~"
"My pleasure."
They exchanged a few answers, turned in their work and spent the rest of class chatting. So many things he wanted to say and do at that very moment. He just couldn't find the nerve, then, like a bolt out of the blue, this happened.
"Zex?" Maya said shyly, a light pink tinge falling over her face "w-will you go out with me?" She whispered.
Zexion nearly exploded with happiness when she said that. "Yes, absolutely!" He said smiling and blushing brightly.

5 years later, they are still together. They are happy as could be, and as in love as ever. The ideal couple.
Of all the things Zexion has done, all the things he regrets terribly, he will never feel a hint of anything less than pure joy when it comes to her. And what he's about to do really takes the cake.
He took Maya to the park where they had a picnic under the beautiful willow tree that had been growing since they were children. The tree was on a small hill which overlooked a crystal clear lake that most days was full of ducks and swans.
When Maya took everything out of the basket, she found a small paper box with her name written on it. She looked to Zexion then opened it to see an absolutely stunning diamond ring.
"Z-zex?" Her eyes began shimmering.
"Maya," Zexion shifted onto one knee, taking her hands in his. "Five years ago today you made me the happiest man on earth. You did what i had been dying to do for so long but never had the guts to. Now, since i have worked up the guts, will you make me the happiest man in the universe?"
"Yes! A thousand times over!" Maya shouted, overjoyed.
To this day, no matter how many regrets he may have, all he has to do is look into the eyes of his wife and child and it all washes away.
