Riku: Hello and welcome to chapter 3, sorry this took so long for us to finish writing. School is tiring. Well now on to the story!

IMPORTANT NOTE!: Please remember that in this story Zexion and Vexen are close in age. Zexion is in his mid 20's and Vexen is in his early 30's.

Ch. 3 When Vexen is mad…

Vexen's PoV

When I'm upset, the others I've worked with have always known to give me my space, less the suffer my wrath. Unfortunately for Zexion at this point, he just can't seem to get enough space between me and him. Of course, it doesn't seem to help that I am chasing him around the lab at the moment, yelling threats at him.

"You stupid, moronic idiot! When I get to you, I swear that I'm going to make your feet your ears!"
I scream at him. He just tries to run faster and he gets behind a table. Ever since Zexion came back from the store, thankfully with all the items, I had been at it, chasing after him ever since.

"I said I was sorry! Can't you leave me alone now?!" Zexion shouted at me.

"I saw Aimi in the store you were in." I said. His eyes widened in shock. "You were talking in there with her, right?"

"And what if I was?" Zexion asked.

"What if you were?! I tell you if you were. You were flirting with her, weren't you?" I yelled.

"I was not! I had no idea she was there in the first place!" Zexion shouted.

"And to top it all off, you shouldn't had been there in the first place either!" I replied. Zexion didn't respond, all he did was grit his teeth. Our arguing kept raging on, moving from threats from just me to both sides. But this time, when Lexaeus came in to separate us again, he brought company with him.

Xigbar. No. 2 in the Organization and the resident sniper. Also known as the Freeshooter. Otherwise knows as the-annoying-trigger-happy-person-who-shot-me-in-the-rear-end-last-week.

Both came into the room and each of them grabbed us, Lexaeus grabbed Zexion and Xigbar grabbed me. Then, both dragging us by our arms, they both dragged us to our rooms. When Xigbar and I got there, he came over to my bed and dropped me down, making me fall head-first onto my bedside.

"Ugh!" I exclaimed. "Must you be so vugular in your methods to separate us?!"

"You both were making a lot of racket. We had to find a way to get things to be more quiet." Xigbar replied. "And I think for now it would be best for you to stay here in your room and think about what you've done."

My mouth drops open and my eye starts to twitch. "How old do you think I am, No. 2? Five?" I asked him.

"Well, you're sure acting like one." Xigbar replied with a smirk across his face. I groan.

"You're a moron, you know that?" I reply.

"And your acting immature, you know that?" He shoots back.

"Respect your elders, No. 2 and get out of my room!" I yell.

Then Xigbar replies, "You do realize you just called yourself an 'elder', right? As in an old person?"

I summon my shield then and start pushing it against Xigbar's chest towards my door. "Out! Out! How dare you?!"

PoV Zexion

Lexaeus had dragged me from the lab, all the way down the hall into my room. He let go of me once we were in my room.

"Why did you have to drag me into my room. I could have walked here myself." I said.

"Well, you weren't seeming like you were going to try to do it anyway once we started in this direction." He replied.

"But…I was eventually going to do something." I said quietly.

"Mmm, hmm. 'Eventually' being the key word here." He pointed out.

I turned away from Lexaeus, having my back face him, "Just leave me alone now."

I felt surprised when I felt his hand firmly clasp my shoulder. "Zexion, I have known you since you were the orphan Ienzo taken in by Master Ansem. I know something is on your mind. Would you like to talk about it?" He asked.

"I'd rather not." I replied.

"Very well then. I will respect your request, but in case you do want to speak with me about it, you know where I am." He said before leaving out the door.

As soon as he left the room I walked over to my bed and grabbed the pillow and shoved it against my face. I let out a small frustrated scream. All of this wouldn't have happened if we had never met Aimi. But I am still glad I met her...I have never met anyone else before who has shared my love for books.

I just wish now that Vexen and I could go back to normal, to the way were were before all this happened. I sighed and laid down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling, and before I knew it I had fallen asleep, completely exhausted both physically and mentally from my emotional outlet.

v.t.7: Hope you enjoyed reading this chapter. We're still alive! Riku and I look forward to continuing this story and I hope you'll still keep with us on it. Until next time, thanks for reading! Remember, reviews are loved and cherished.
