Word Count: 3,037

Larxene sighed and collapsed on the couch in the living room after the second week of school was over.

"That bad?" Marluxia's amused voice asked.

"That torturous." She groaned

"Larx. We both know it was the classes. You ace them, easily. Let's talk about the little blonde that's on your mind." Larxene's mouth dried.

"Roxas?" Marluxia eyed her with a measured glare. She sighed.

"No, Naminé." She huffed.

"What about her?" Playing dumb obviously didn't work with her twin. Damn it. He knew her too well. He glared at her.

"You like her." He stated. She almost nodded but didn't and settled for a response.

"She's a cool kid." He frowned deeper.

"Damn it, Larxene. Stop being so…you." Larxene laughed.

"Don't think I can sweetie." She fluttered her eyes flirtingly. Marluxia rolled his eyes and his cell phone vibrated. A wide smile encased his face.

Keep your hands off me. Well, that was blunt.

Tease. He texted her back.

Pfft. Molester! She texted almost immediately.

It's not molesting if it's willing. There was a couple minute wait and then it vibrated.

What if I wasn't willing? He could almost hear her whisper.

I'd do it anyways. Your skin's soft. He smiled at the truth of the statement.

Ugh. You're impossible. He imagined her huffing that most likely followed.

Your point? Another huff. His smiled widened

Ugh. I can't even speak to you! A groan in exasperation.

Bye! He could also see her slam her phone down without typing a response. He wasn't expecting one.

Whatever. Was her last text. Guess she changed her mind. How interesting this girl is. He was truly captivated by her.

Larxene watched with an eyebrow raised.

"You like her." She stated, obviously trying to make him as uncomfortable as she was.

"Yeah." He said in an obvious tone with a roll of his eyes as he programmed her number into his contacts.

"Grr." She growled and crossed her arms.

"I don't have a problem with saying I like Kairi. A lot in fact. She eventually let me kiss her neck today." He said with such pride in that accomplishment.

"Wow…You're obsessed." She teased

"No, I'm interested." He smiled

She huffed and slid further into the couch.

"Listen Larx." He said using his understanding tone. "Don't be stubborn. If you like her, just say that you like her. I like her. Not like you probably do but she's nice."

"Innocent." She corrected.

"You like her innocence. Want to protect her." He hypothesized.

"Yeah, I like her innocence." Score! Marly was right yet again.

"Pretend I am your best girlfriend." Larxene scoffed.

"Don't have any." Marluxia rolled his eyes.

"Larxene!" He yelled in exasperation.

"Fine. Hi." She said emotionless.

"Hi!" Marluxia said in a high pitched voice. Larxene grinned at him.

"I met this girl in school but she's been going there for forever." She started.

"Yeah?" He said in the same pitch.

"Yeah. I really like her." Marluxia rolled his eyes at the obvious statement. No, we didn't realize that you liked her between the staring and 'accidental' touching.

"As in more than a friend?" High pitched voice.

"Yes." She hissed through her teeth.

"Omigod Ewww! Lesbian!!" He ran away with his hands in the air into the kitchen. Larxene laughed and Marluxia came back into the room.

"Thanks." She said in gratitude to her brother.

"No problem. Feel better?" She nodded.

"A little." He wrapped an arm around his sister's shoulder and gave a squeeze.

"You'll feel better when you're with her." He rationalized.

"How would you know?" She snapped.

"You know what went through my mind when I saw Kairi?"

"Do I want to know?" At his glare she relented, "What?"

"Holy shit. There is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. I mean have you seen her?"

"I've seen her."

"You might have glanced at her; you were too busy eye-raping Naminé."

"Okay ew, no."

"Don't deny it or lie, you'll go to hell."

"See you there?" She kidded, they bumped shoulder.

"She has this hair…" He drawled, completely ignoring the previous conversation. "It's red, not like Axel red but like different red. Reminds me of a dying rose."

"Oh, that's romantic."

"The color sort of dies. Shut up." He tried defending himself. "And her eyes." He tipped his head back. "Pure sapphires." Larxene rolled her eyes. "She fits just right into my arms, you know?"

"Nope."

"You're no fun at all."

"I know."

"Your turn!" Marluxia stated.

"What?"

"Tell me what you see when you look at Naminé."

"Okay…I see innocence. She isn't that innocent but she wears those pastel shirts and it makes her look angelic. Her skin looks so pale I feel like if I touch it, it'll shatter. Her eyes are so deep; they seem deeper than the deepest part of the ocean."

"Was that so hard?" Marluxia managed to get out. His sister was in love. Well, he thought it would never happen. She never had a real interest in guys. He knew that she preferred girls in the bedroom, not that she had experience of that. Marluxia knew that his sister wasn't a virgin, he wasn't stupid. He knew that she had sex before, most girls had. His sister wasn't a slut, she had a boyfriend or two and they did go that way before they dumped her. She wasn't really upset, just miffed. She thought she wasn't worthy of anyone since her last boyfriend started boasting that he bedded Larxene, the toughest girl in school. It had upped his place in high school society. Larxene found out and dented more than one locker. She marched up to him when he was laughing with his friends and yelled all the stuff that he told her when they had sex. 'I've never been with a girl' 'I worry that I am too small for girls' and 'God, I can't believe that you haven't done the football team yet.' He was absolutely mortified. Then Larxene punched him and screamed 'I am not a slut. You were my fucking boyfriend before I slept with you. Didn't tell your friends that, did you? Come near me again and I will kill you.' Sure she got detention for a death threat and disturbing the peace signed by Vice-Principal Sanmex. It had been completely worth it for her to see her ex-boyfriend's nose in a cast. She defended her honor just like her older brother taught her to her. He always rubbed that in her face, the fact that he was older than Larxene by four minutes.

Larxene had different thoughts. She thought about Naminé. For about four hours. So much for homework.

Naminé and Kairi retreated to their rooms to do whatever they wanted after school. Naminé finished her Chemistry and Algebra homework and tried reading her newest English assignment but couldn't concentrate on anything. She kept thinking of the blonde that had infected her thinking pattern. Larxene Gray. She just sighed thinking about her. Naminé flipped on her stomach and put her chin in her palm and rested it there, looking into space dreamily.

It had been two weeks since she had officially met Larxene. She liked her immediately. The more time she spent with the tough blonde, the more she liked her. Her eyes were the prettiest blue ever. And although she said her 'fucking hair looked like a grasshopper's', Naminé loved it anyways. And her feelings were bordering on friend and then completely tunneling into something different. She had looked forward to the accidental touches if Larxene lost grip on the cement she placed her hand on and put her forearms on Naminé's shoulder. Naminé didn't say anything but took a swig of her water and bit into an apple and handed it to Larxene and she took a bite, momentarily squeezing Naminé's shoulder. It had left a feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Not entirely unpleasant.

It was like she swallowed butterflies when she was a little girl; they lay dormant in there until she was near Larxene. She went over to the computer. She logged onto her Yahoo! Account and accessed her email. She deleted the junk mail and replied to a few. It was mostly people that wanted to add her on MySpace and Facebook, she was on both sites. She had added the option of sending email. It was just easier than logging on and seeing nothing was there. She was usually disappointed. But when she logged onto MySpace, she already had at least six friend requests. They were from the Organization, who she fit in with well. Larxene had included her in all of the conversation explaining something when Naminé looked at her with a puzzling expression on her face. Larxene did it with an affectionate smile.

But she couldn't like her like Naminé liked her.

It wasn't possible.

She was in lo-like with her.

Okay, time to be realistic, Naminé. She told herself. Delve into your deepest emotions. Love.

Okay, so you're in love with a girl, so what? You hung out with at least six guys who were gay and they were fine. And if anyone makes you cry, Larxene will beat them up. That she was absolutely sure of.

Kairi was smiling as she texted Marluxia. He made her smile. He was completely honest about his feelings. He liked her. He liked her. He liked her. He liked her.

You want me to stop texting you? Hell, no. She thought to herself.

You make me laugh, so I'd say no.

Aw, I make you laugh! Yay!

You're so retarded.

You love it.

Hmm. You seem to think so.

I do.

You're so dumb.

Hey, what's with the insults?

You love it.

You're harshing my mellow.

Why do you have mellow?

It's a saying.

Well, I think it's stupid.

Well, I think I really like you. That one brought a smile to her face and she giggled.

You barely even know me.

I know enough.

Yeah?

Yeah. I really do, you know. I'm not joking.

I know you enough to know your serious tone.

See we're not complete strangers so I can like you as more than a friend.

You can do whatever you want, it's a free country.

Free to come into your bedroom and caress you as you sleep. She flushed.

No.

Did you blush?

I am not telling you.

You did! Aw, I wish I could see that.

Yeah. Too bad you can't. Because you don't live near me haha.

Want to divulge some information.

Marly, I am not telling you where I love.

Aw, you gave me a nickname!

It's just a condensed version of your name; I didn't feel like typing Marluxia.

You just did.

I was lazy. It's gone now.

What if I give you my address?

I don't know. I don't drive, Roxas does.

So I will give Roxas my address and you'll stay on the phone and talk to me so you don't get lost. Roxas hasn't memorized the ground layout of town yet, has he?

No.

Good. Oh and bring Naminé

Yeah? Why?

Larxene misses her, even though she saw her four hours ago. Sigh. I don't understand my sister.


Just between me and you, Naminé's missing her. Actually tell that to Larxene, maybe it'll brighten her hour until I bring her over.

How is your sister?

Quieter than usual. She hasn't even bugged me yet.

Bugged you?

Yeah, we usually talk for hours about anything and everything.

Have you seen her before?

No, I was with my father since birth. Me and Roxas both.

Ask Roxas if you can come over.

Okay. Hold on.

Okay.

Kairi got up and knocked on Roxas' door.

"Come in." He answered.

"Hey Roxas."

"What do you want?" He accused, narrowing his eyes at her.

"I was wondering if you could drive Nami and me to Larxene's house." She asked, biting her lip.

"I."

"I? What?"

"It's Nami and I. And Larxene as in Marluxia's sister?"

"Yes." She gritted her teeth.

"Aw. My sister's first boyfriend." He sang.

"Shut up Roxas!" She punched his arm. He grinned at her before nodding.

"Yeah I'll bring you. Ask Nami before you go."

"Okay." She pressed a kiss to her brother's cheek as thanks. "Thank you."

"Welcome. Hurry up."

Roxas says it's fine. After ridiculing. Hope you're proud.

Poor baby. Bring a change of clothes. I want you to sleep over.

No sex.

Yes ma'am. She could hear him saluting.

She grabbed a small duffel and piled clothes, pajamas, other girl stuff.

"You sleeping over too?" Roxas asked from his place leaning on her doorframe.

"Apparently." She shrugged, zipping up her duffel.

"Hmm." He said. "No sex. Least not until I meet him and give him the father talk. You know 'you hurt and I'll kill you with my shotgun' one." She rolled her eyes. "Since I killed yours and everything. It's my duty as eldest brother since Cloud is not here. By the way if Aerith or Cloud were here, you probably wouldn't go as easily as I am letting you."

"I know and I love you for that." She hugged him. He pressed his lips to her forehead.

"Love you too Kais. I am hoping I won't have to kill him. I like this one." He mumbled against her forehead. She pushed him away. She scratched at her forehead.

"That tickles." Roxas barked a laugh.

Pillows?

Nah we got plenty.

Mkay. I have to go ask Naminé if she wants to go.

Kay.

She opened the door with her sidekick in her hand and slid it closed. Naminé didn't even notice until Kairi kicked the door closed and Naminé jumped.

"Sorry." She mumbled.

"It's okay. I was spacing out."

"Yeah. You wanna chill with Larxene and Marluxia? We are sleeping over."

"I don't know…"

"C'mon. Larxene misses you…" She smiled when she took the bait.

"Yeah?" She asked excited.

"Yeah. Get packed. We might stay all weekend, so pack double everything."

"Okay, give me five minutes." Kairi nodded. And then she walked into her room and sat down and texted Marluxia.

She's in.

I haven't told Larxene. She's going to kill me.

Yeah. She only took three words

Yeah?

Larxene misses you.

Did you sound pathetic? Did you pout?

Yes and yes.

I missed it?!

Apparently.

Foiled again.

Lol.

I'll just have to withhold something from you so I can see the pout in person.

I guess so. It's tragic.

I know!

Anyways, I am going to throw my stuff in the car so I'll call you in a few?

Counting the seconds.

"Kairi! Throw your duffel in the trunk! Tell Nami to hurry. I have to pick up Axel!"

"Your boyfriend coming over?" Kairi teased as she grabbed her cell's charger.

"Yeah he is. We're going to have man sex all night long."

"Same here but with a guy and I'm a girl." Then the teasing stopped.

"You better not!" Roxas yelled at his little sister. She giggled and grabbed his keys to pop the trunk. "You still there?"

"Still here." Axel laughed through the phone.

"So video games? Movies?"

"Movies. I just played five hours of Grand Theft Auto. All video gamed out."

"Yeah. Got any suggestions?" As Axel rattled off movies he had, he leaned against the counter and ran a hand through his blonde spikes. "Those last four sound cool. No, I haven't seen Harry Potter. Fine Harry Potter marathon it is. There are five? Movies? Tomorrow morning, sound good?"

"I'm ready Roxas." Naminé said.

"Okay Naminé. Just go put your stuff in the trunk; I'll be out there in a minute." He turned back to the newspaper that he was looking at movie listings on. "We'll figure it out later. Okay bye, Axel."

"You excited, Naminé?"

"It's my first sleepover."

"Don't worry." Roxas patted Naminé's thigh affectionately. "It's Kairi's first too."

"Present annoying company excluded." Kairi piped up.

"Quiet from the peanut gallery." She stuck out her tongue. She called Marluxia.

"197."

"What?"

"I counted the seconds."

"You are retarded."

"She thinks you're adorable, she's blushing." Roxas yelled.

"Roxas shut the fuck up." Kairi hissed. Marluxia laughed.

"Oh really, Kairi?" He purred.

"Now look at what you've done." She snarled at Roxas.

"What made you blush more?"

"I hate you sometimes."

"Only sometimes?"

"Shut up. Okay we're on Mickey Lane."

"Go up the street and take a right." She told her brother the instructions. "Take a sharp left and you'll be on Donald Avenue."

"Yep."

"Okay then take a slight right at the divider and you'll be on Goofy Road."

"Yes."

"Third house on the left." She pointed it out to her brother while staying on the phone.

"See you then." She said and hung up. She jumped out of the car and grabbed her and her sister's duffels and turned and there was Marluxia. She meeped.

"Scare you?"

"I just see your face, it's just a natural reaction." He laughed and grabbed both of the bags, one in each hand. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and she didn't feel any of the weight from the bags on her shoulder. He was transferring the weight away from her. She sighed internally at the muscles rippling under his sweatshirt. She shivered.

"You cold?"

"A little."

"Well no wonder. You're wearing a long sleeved shirt. Trying to impress me?"

"Depends. Is it working?"

"Definitely."

"Then no, not trying to impress you." He laughed at her and she motioned to Naminé to get out of the car. She caught up with them and looked incredibly shy.

"Marly, who the fuck was in the driveway…" She trailed off. Naminé smiled and waved. "Hi!" She said to Naminé. She hugged her and they both savored the contact. Kairi and Marluxia looked at each other. Kairi watched as they separated and stepped back. Kairi stuck her foot in front of Naminé's foot and Marluxia 'accidentally' swung a duffel gently into Naminé's back.

And they watched in anticipation as their faces collided and their lips just touched. Larxene gulped, Naminé looked like she was going to cry.

"Fuck it." Larxene said and grabbed Naminé's face and pressed their lips together.

MHMM! Get your freak on! Or…not. Never mind. Lol. So I am going to try for a little lesbian stuff. No sex scenes for this couple. I don't even know if I am going to do sex scenes for the Yaoi couples yet. I suck at them, I am sorry to say. If I do, I'd have to incorporate more rape scenes and that's sad for me. But that's probably the route I will have to take.

Reviews.

Love yas.
