Aqua eyes glared back at calm smiling grey-blue ones. The own of the former flexed his fingers as he gingerly reached for a card. Wait no draw back think it through. He gulped and stared at the cards in his hands. C'mon think. You need a 6!! A 6!!! Gotta pull a six!! Once again he reaches to the pile and pulls out a card.

A 2.

"Aw fuck..." Axel sighed as he added the card to his hand. He didn't have any twos!!

"Do you have any twos?" Axel's head hit the table as he tossed his new card to the other. The man smiled and picked up the last card on the table. "Alright hand me your sixes." Axel's hands slammed to the table as he handed them over. "Now your pants." Axel stood up slowly and removed his pants. Down to his boxers.

Axel is never EVER going to play strip "Go Fish" again.

"One more round." Axel sat down and shuffled the cards. The other man laughed.

"Sure. You'll loose again, and then it's your buddy's turn." The blond pointed to the grumbling black haired dreadhead who we've already discovered is Mr. Sideburns.

"As if." The older one snapped then winced at what he said. Too much Xigbar. The blond man laughed again.

"Won't this be fun. I'll have all your bloody clothes by the time we're done and you won't even know my name." The man re-arranged his cards accordingly and Axel glared angrily at his.

All he needed was a 10... 10... two cards left on the table.. 10... 10... 10... 10...

DAMNIT!!! Ace!!

Axel's head hit the table again as the blond took his cards and his boxers laughing.

This was all left to Xaldin now.

"Good luck Xally... And uh... Can I borrow your jacket?" Axel shivered a little in his full nakedness.

"No." Xaldin sat down with a whimpering Axel at his side. "You control fire. Use it." He snapped as Axel rubbed against him as some sort of attempt for body heat.

"So...?" Axel met the cold stone floor as Xaldin shoved him away.

"You going to be so cold to your boyfriend?" The man was laughing again and Xaldin was getting irritated by it. "You know maybe you should give him your jacket. You don't want his cock to freeze and fall off."

"I'd rather take my chances since he's not my boyfriend."

"XALLY!! I DON'T WANT IT TO FALL OFF!!" Axel petted himself. "I need it for naughty things with Zexion..."

"You know he's not interesting with you." Xaldin said monotone as he shuffled and delt the cards. The two arranged their cards in order of numbers, lowest being on the left, highest on the right. Axel watched biting his lip.

"How can you say he's not interested in me?! Everyone's interested in me!!"

"I'm not." The two card players echoed each other. Axel stared at them slack jawed as the two played.

"HOW CAN YOU---MMMMPH!!!" Axel gagged as Xaldin's glove was shoved into his mouth.

"Thank you."

"No problem." The game oddly went on with practically no one talking. Axel was pouting with the glove in his mouth as he watched.

"I win." Xaldin said as he put the last of his cards down. "I want Axel's boxers." A happy squee came from the red head. Xaldin looked at him. "Who said I was giving them back to you?" He scoft as he tucked the said discarded little flame covered boxers into his coat pocket.

A pout came to the tattooed face again, his arms crossed over his chest.

Round two started and Xaldin got back Axel's pants. Round three, his jacket. So on and so forth until he had the other in his boxers.

"Now then. We can quit or not? Quite frankly I've seen enough man bits to last me a lifetime today." Xaldin tapped his cards against the table. The blond man sighed and laid down his cards.

"My name is Luxord." He said as he collected them and carefully counted each one.

"Like there ISN'T 52!!" Axel huffed.

"There isn't. There's only 15." Luxord said as he spread out the cards. Axel's jaw dropped. HOW'D HE DO THAT?! "What do you want with me anyway?"

"We're from an organization. We're looking for other like us, Nobodies. Our goal is to return to our former forms. To retrive our hearts. You'll become the 10th member if you choose to join. We won't force you into it but keep in mind we might have to kill you if you don't." Xaldin said calmly as he handed back Luxord's clothes.

"Bloody sounds like you're forcing me."

"Then take it how you feel." Xaldin shrugged.

"Hey... Xally can I have my clothes back?" Axel pawed at him.

"My name is Xaldin and as you know by now the idiot is Axel." Xaldin reached out to Luxord. The blond nodded and took his hand shaking it lightly.

"I'm not an idiot!!"

"So how did you become a Nobody, Xaldin?" Luxord pulled on his shirt as he spoke. He stared at the piercing violet blue eyes that the Nobody across from him had.

"We don't talk about those things. The past is in the past."

"Hmm... I like your style..." Luxord nodded some then thought for a moment. "Sure why not. I'll join."

"Can I have my clothes back??!!" Axel whined pawing more at Xaldin.

"No. You go home naked."
