Warnings: YAOI, shounen-ai, Sexual themes, Swearing, Drinking , mention of drugs, Marluxia is a little OOC.

Vexen looked defeated.
"no, I said I'd take you to your room. That is what I'll do."
Marluxia looked up at Vexen with a death glare.
"don't fucking try anything with me. You're the same as Xigbar" he hissed through his teeth, moving towards the now-open door.
Where funny enough, axel stood.
(Xigbar was notorious for making advances on every member in the organization, girl or boy, apart from Xemnas and his lap dog Saix)
"marly? What's up?" Axel asked, seeing how uncomfortable Marluxia looked Trying to crawl along the wall, Vexen inches from him.
"ask the blonde molester over there." the assassin hissed, grabbing his blood-stained coat and trying to get closer to the door, while avoiding viles containing unknown substances.
Axel raised an eyebrow, Marluxia hadn't snapped at him for calling him marly again.
He shot a glare at Vexen before helping Marluxia up, something was wrong here.

"Do you want me to help you get to your room?" Axel asked.
Marluxia nodded, At least axel wasn t being a jerk for once.
Axel lifted Marluxia's arm, and placed it around his neck while he put his own around the pinkette's waist, quite comfortably.
They walked through the dark corridor to Marluxia's room.

Vexen fell onto his bed, his head in his hands "what an idiot!" He scolded himself.
As he felt along his lips, Marluxia's glare was replayed in his head, tears in the corners of his eyes "damn it. I have to apologize." Vexen mumbled, looking over to the blue flower in the corner in his room.

"Whoa. Your room is beautiful." Axel gasped. (Out of all the rooms in the castle there were only 4 he hadn't been into;
Xemnas's, Xaldin's, Xigbar's and Marluxia's.
Especially since marly had previously warned him in detail what he would do to him if any of his flowers were damaged.)
The room was more of a garden, there were flowers everywhere and a small pond at the back, surrounded by huge grey rocks that looked as if they were part of the wooden floors.
Closer to the door there was a large, plush bed surrounded by pink carnations.
Axel helped Marluxia sit down on the bed then took a few steps back to admire the scenery once more.

Marluxia's head was spinning, Vexen, his muse, had kissed him, and If he hadn't bit his tounge 'gods .' marluxia thought 'He could have gone further .' There were very few members Marluxia even talked to, but there was only one who saw what he was beneath the mask, and he couldn't trust that person anymore.
Tears threatened, and Marluxia rolled over on the bed so he was away from axel.
"do you want me to stay?" Axel asked, inching closer.
He looked over Marluxia's shoulder to see sleep was starting to take him once more, Tears flowing freely down his perfect, pale face.
Axel sat on the bed next to him and wiped the tears away, Marluxia subconsciously snuggled next to him, wanting the warmth.
"I don't know what he did to you but he will pay dearly for it." Axel growled, his eyes went over the bandages that the graceful assassin had on his chest and stomach.
"...even if he bandaged you up."
Axel sighed remembering something marluxia had said once to him.
"Flowers are so delicate, even a slight frost could wilt them "

"HE DID WHAT?" Larxene screamed. Even Zexion looked up to see what was going on.
Neither Marluxia or Vexen had left their rooms that morning. Lucky neither had missions That day.
"He slammed Marluxia into a wall and molested him, That s my guess." Axel repeated.

-Flashback-
"hn..." Marluxia mumbled, now on axels lap (where axel conveniently lead him)
" don't ...again please " Marluxia squirmed in his sleep.
"Its okay Marly " Axel hummed to Marluxia, stroking his head.
The graceful assassin opened his eyes then quickly sat up after realizing where he had been sleeping.
"huh what am I GAH AXEL WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU STILL DOING IN HERE?" Marluxia yelled, his face going different shades of red.
"you were having a nightmare, and you musta thought I was your pillow" Axel said, pointing to himself. the classic Axel-Cheshire grin plastered on his face.
The pinkette noticed the pillow behind axel.
"oh.. Right.. Sorry" Marluxia's face was almost back to normal, except for the pink tint on his cheeks. He put his hand up to his face to brush away stray pink hairs "anytime, marly. Get some sleep though, you need it." Axel stated, before leaving the room, still grinning from ear to ear.
-end flashback-

"When I get my hands on that bastard " Larxene glared at the wall, sparks appearing around her.
"don't worry larx, I think you should go see marly first, I'll deal with him."
Larxene looked hard at axel for a few minutes then agreed, taking the corridor to Marluxia's room.

Marluxia had been asleep most of the day, he could walk fine now,
despite how serious his injuries had been. "I wonder if axel will come back ?" He found himself staring directly in the mirror, blushing to full extent.
"what am I saying ?" Marluxia didn't feel like himself.
Even Larxene had noticed he wasn't himself after last night when she had visited him.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"come in." Marluxia mumbled after he slipped on his spare coat and gloves.
Vexen came through the door.
Parts of his head, neck and arms were covered In bruises and cuts and his coat was singed.
(A/N :: Three guesses who got to him xD )
Marluxia summoned his scythe and pointed it towards Vexen.
"you have 10 seconds to get out of here." The assassin warned.
"I came to apologize."
"ten."
"you have every right to be angry, I know "
"nine."
"I'm sorry for what I did." "eight."
"Please, just listen to what I have to say."
"seven."
"I LOVE YOU MARLUXIA."
Marluxia stared at Vexen.
"w-what did you just say ? " Marluxia's scythe vanished in a shower of petals, He walked closer to Vexen till they were only Two steps apart.
"I love you. That s why I couldn't stop " Vexen repeated.
Marluxia punched him in the stomach.
"DON'T LIE TO ME, YOU SICK BASTARD!" Marluxia screamed and reached for the door.
The ice prince stepped forward and grabbed marluxia's arm.
"I can't give you up to axel." Vexen admitted, brushing part of Marluxia's hair back from his face.
Vexen's dull green eyes met dark blue ones.
All ice prince could see was sadness.
"I'm sorry."
Marluxia swatted away vexens hand.
"let go of my arm."
Vexen weakly let go of Marluxia's arm.
"marlu "
"don't you ever fucking try that again or I will eliminate you."
Vexen's eyes lit up.
"so do yo-"
"get out of my sight, Number 4"
Marluxia slammed the door in Vexen's face.

The Graceful assassin stared at the door,
"I can't give you up to axel"

Why Axel...? Marluxia thought.
