Some minutes went by… a quarter… half an hour… Finally they heard the door open and the peep from the anklet.
"Vexen, are you alright?" Marluxia said, running up to his side as he entered.
"Yes, yes I'm fine," he said, but the sly smirk on his face told them he was better than fine.
"So exactly what was that about?" Saïx asked, arching an eyebrow. Vexen's smile faded.
"Saïx, I have both good and bad news for you…"
"Oh…?"
"The man you lived with before you came here… Xemnas, was it?"
"Yes! What about him??" Saïx asked, his heartbeat increasing magnificent.
"He managed to find the names of those who are, by the law, in charge of you and contacted them, demanding a meeting."
"Y-you're serious??"
"The Sky Corporation made him believe that you have actually found your surrogate parents, and that you are in hospital because of your amnesia."
"So…?"
"To avoid him contacting the police they have arranged a meeting for you."
"Really? Then we can get out of here!! This is our chance!!"
Saïx was close to crying in happiness.
"Do not celebrate too early," Vexen said. "This will only take place if you swear to play along with Sky. They…"
"They what?" Saïx asked warily.
"They want you to push him away from you, to tell him in any way you see fit that you cannot meet again so the Corporation can avoid future problems with him."
"No… No!! I wont do it and they can't make me!!" Saïx cried. Vexen gave him a pitying gaze. He had understood that this man meant much to Saïx and had shown him immense kindness.
"You are a precious subject to them, Saïx… They said that if you objected it was me and Marluxia who would pay for it…"
"How can they do such a thing??" Marluxia yelled in frustration.
"Then… it's either your lives… or forgetting all about him…" Saïx mumbled. The other two went silent.
"It is all up to you, Saïx… Perhaps it would be the better if you ran away. Now might be your only chance. I could try talking them out of hurting Marluxia…"
"Then what about you?" Saïx asked shocked.
"No way, Vexen! If you are willing to sacrifice yourself, you're not going without me!!" Marluxia exclaimed.
"No, no, no!! I won't have you two dying on me!!" Saïx said, a tear sliding down his cheek. "I'll do it…"
The other two looked at him in silence for a while.
"Thank you, Saïx… You don't know how much it means to us…"
"Right… let's just… not talk about it any longer, okay?"
Marluxia nodded, Vexen on the other hand gave the same sly smirk as before.
"I have something that might get your mind off of it."
"Oh…?"
Vexen opened his coat, pulling forth several thick, brown envelopes. They were pretty large and old looking.
"What is that?" Saïx asked.
"See for yourself," Vexen said, handling him a third part of the bunch and Marluxia a second part.
"Wait…these here looks suspiciously like they belong in the security personal's archives…" Marluxia said. Vexen only gave a smug grin. "How did you get your hands on that?"
"Stole them," he said indifferently. Marluxia's mouth fell open.
"They've got our names on them… You're not saying you found our files?" he asked.
"Look for yourself."
Marluxia picked out one of the envelopes marked 'L. from A.', ripped it open and emptied the contents out on the surgery table. Numerous letters with his names on them and what looked mostly like-
"Birthday cards!!" he cried, picking up one of them. "From my mother!"
"They obviously confiscated your mail," Vexen said. "'L. from A.' doubtlessly stands for 'Letters from Acquaintances'. I believe… this is what you might find interesting," he said, pointing at one of Saïx' envelopes marked 'Biography' in large black letters.
"I… I don't know what to say… Marluxia, what's wrong?"
A sharp sob escaped the young boy as he read through what seemed like seventeen birthday cards, all from his mother.
"I can't believe… she… she's still alive… I thought… I thought they murdered her… shortly after father…"
His voice failed him.
"Hush… It is okay Marluxia," Vexen said, laying his arms around the crying boy.
"She thought of me, all this time… And I didn't even get the letters…" Marluxia sobbed, resting his cheek against the scientist's chest.
"Your father did what, Marluxia?" Saïx asked. The question only made him clench his fists in Vexen's coat. "Sorry…"
"No… no it is fine. Of course you do not remember," Vexen said. "Marluxia was born into a rich family, sadly enough it was a forced marriage between his parent, and his father held no love to his mother. Marluxia was in his eyes a failure, especially because of his powers. Those who are different are looked down upon by people with high status in the community."
Saïx glanced over at Marluxia to make sure it was okay that Vexen was telling. If nothing he had stopped crying.
"And so?" Saïx asked.
"My father sold me to Sky against my mother's will," Marluxia snarled. "I never saw either of them again."
"I-I'm sorry…"
Marluxia shrugged.
"I haven't seen them in eight years… I can hardly remember anything of them. I was so young, but… seeing her words again just like that..."
"I apologize… I should have thought twice before I took the cards," Vexen said.
"Don't… I am glad I got to see them… At least now I know she's thinking of me…"
"I am sorry to say this but… She thought of you…"
Vexen shoved some of the cards away, revealing two small, yellow envelopes with wax seals. They were marked 'Will of Father' and 'Will of Mother' in small letters.
"Oh…"
Marluxia bit his bottom lip. He didn't cry again though. The sadness over his mother and the triumph over his father evened each other out. Vexen carefully let go of him.
"We'll get out of here, I swear," Saïx said. "Sky is causing us all so much pain… Why? Why do they need us?"
"In all the twenty three years I've been here, they never, ever told me," Vexen said.

Saïx sat alone in his cell, surrounded by darkness, the envelope marked 'Biography' in his hands, still not opened. Did he want to know more of the horrible past he had? He had a choice now… He could wait and see whether he'd recover his memory instead. Having his story told by a tattered old document found in the archives of the very people who had done this to him… It wasn't really a nice thought.
He suddenly realized there were no screams from the other cells. He shrugged. Vexen must still be up then. He often worked late, and it seemed like none of his subjects were active when he did. Perhaps they were scared of him.
He couldn't remember falling asleep, but he most certainly had seeing he woke abruptly by the sound of the door next to his cell opening. He heard fain footsteps and a whispering voice.
"Marluxia… are you awake…?" Vexen asked, ruffling the boy's hair slightly.
"Vexen…? Why aren't you asleep?" Marluxia whispered obviously fully awake.
"I wanted to make sure you were alright."
"You're going to make it up to me?" Marluxia asked with a small smirk. Vexen shifted uncomfortably.
"Tempting, but I shouldn't."
"Oh, as if that's not why you came!" the boy chuckled.
"As I said, I wanted to make sure you-"
"Shut up and kiss me," Marluxia growled, grabbing the other's shoulders and yanking him over himself. Vexen hesitated, but the rosy lips underneath him were begging to be touched. It was so long since last.
Seconds later they clashed together, lips, tongue, teeth, desperate to taste the other. Marluxia locked his legs around the other's waist. Vexen knew there was no way he was getting out of this now, besides, his body was screaming for the other's touch.
"The table," Marluxia said as they broke up. Vexen placed one hand on the small of his back, one on his rear and carried the small figure to the main room, dropping him off on the surgery table, his legs swinging over the edge of the surface, the scientist standing between his knees.
"Finally alone again," Vexen murmured, embracing him passionately.
"Let me blow you," Marluxia begged.
"Count on you to ruin the moment," Vexen grumbled though his pants tightened considerably at the proposal.
"I haven't had you for a month!" Marluxia said, sliding his hands inside his coat and up his shirt, clawing desperately at his back.
"It's too risky. This has to be fast if you want anything at all."
"Now you're the one ruining the moment…"
"Please, Marluxia… I do not want us to be busted because of one careless night, I love you too much."
Marluxia looked at his feet and gave a slight nod. "And no screaming. We were almost discovered last time."
"Is that why you waited one month with this?" Marluxia grumbled impatiently. Vexen gave him a sharp glance. "Alright, alright…"
Vexen gave him a final warning look before he slid his hands up the boy's T-shirt, close to tearing it off of him in his hurry before he attacked the bare skin, placing soft kisses up his chest, licked his lips and lowered him to the table surface. He threw his pants to the floor and was about to take of his boxers as Marluxia held him back.
"Let me see you."
"Some other time," Vexen said, patting his hair and placing a swift kiss on his forehead. "If the guards should come I can explain why you are naked as an emergency operation, but if I were we would have a problem."
Marluxia gave another displeased grumble.
"We'll get out of here and you better promise me you'll fuck me all night, stark naked."
"I will. At least that is what I want…"
"We will get out of here!"
"Shush! Not so loud! We can argue some other time," Vexen said. He traced his free hand over Marluxia's bare stomach. Tears filled his eyes as his fingers stroked ghostly over thin, white scars.
"Vexen… w-wha…?"
"I am so sorry for these," he whispered. "I never wanted to hurt you…"
"It was your orders," Marluxia panted. "I know you had no choice, and even if you did hurt me on purpose I'd still love you, I've always done."
Vexen gave a short nod and wiped his eyes before he pulled of the boy's underwear.

Saïx sat wide-eyed in his cell, listening as the two whispered their goodbyes with affectionate words and once again returned to their own beds. He was, to say the least, stunned.

Uhm… yeah, disturbing chapter… -is still wearing full metal jacket-
I am forever thankful of those who has reviewed and I do hope I won't get too many threats after this here but I must say that if I'll be able to update sooner in the future I have no choice but making the chapters shorter… I've kind of lost all inspiration for this story… Luckily I had this chapter finished or there wouldn't have been an update for a loooong time… Don't kill me…. Things will be more interesting later…There might seem to be a lot of Vexen and Marluxia these chapters but I need to render their characters… I will update as fast as possible!! D:
