"Professor." Zexion called into the room as he walked in. He saw Vexen laying on the floor shaking. Zexion sprinted over and saw that Vexen was sleeping. His eyes were shut closed and tears were running down the sides of his face. Then from the corners of his mouth blood seeped out. "Holy shit! Professor!! Wake up!"

Vexen turned his head and his eyes squinted open and when he opened his mouth blood poured out. He grabbed Zexion's coat roughly and his eyes didn't have pupils.

"Don't." He wheezed between every word. "Go. To. The party."

With that his arm went limp and his eyes closed. His eyes fluttered open and he rubbed his head. His pupils were back and he looked up and Zexion who looked completely terrified and then wiped his mouth.

"Y-your bleeding." Zexion said and Vexen groaned.

"I'm sorry Zexion.. I'm in so much pain right now. What happened?" Vexen asked and Zexion started shaking and closed his eyes tight and started to cry. "Zexion... What's wrong?"

"Y-ou sc-ared m-e." Zexion stuttered and Vexen slowly propped himself back up.

"I'm terribly sorry. What did I say?" Vexen asked and Zexion shook his head and hugged Vexen.

"N-ot th-at... I-I thought y-you we-were dead." Zexion said and pulled back and jumped up. He got the disinfecting wipes from the front of the room and cleaned the blood from the floor. "Come on.. I could drive you home."

"You don't ha-" Zexion glared and put the bloody wipes in the garbage.

"Come on Professor." Zexion snapped and helped Vexen up and they walked to Vexen's car. Zexion helped Vexen get in the passenger seat and then climbed into the driver's seat and backed the car out of the parking space and drove up to the school exit. "You've got to give me directions."

"...Take a left."

"So where are we?" Demyx asked and Xigbar turned off the bike and took off his helmet.

"Demyx this is going to sound strange but we're at Vexen's house because something told me halfway into the ride that he needed me. Let me call him please." Xigbar said and got off the bike and Demyx nodded.

"Of coarse." Demyx smiled weakly thinking what could have possibly happened wrong? He was worried.

"Hello?" Xigbar called into the phone. "Dude what happened." A pause and Xigbar smiled. "I always know when you get hurt dude. What happened." Another pause and Xigbar huffed. "Why do I have to wait?!"

"Because I'm right here." Vexen said with a smile and closed the phone. Demyx grinned and Zexion who got out of the drivers side.

"Zexion!" He grinned and Zexion gave him a small smile and walked to the passenger side and helped Vexen out of the car.

"Open the door." Zexion told Xigbar and Xigbar nodded.

"Best friends always have the key to their house." He laughed and opened the door and helped Vexen inside. Demyx jumped off of the bike and Xigbar led him inside.

"So Vexy, do you want--"

"Zexion is already making me tea." Vexen cut into Xigbar's question.

"Oh... Well... Cool." Xigbar said kind of surprised. That was his job when Vexen was sickly. He always made the tea.

"You could hang out with Demyx in the guest... I mean... YOUR room." Vexen smirked and Xigbar chuckled and walked over and ruffled Vexen's hair.

"Alrightly. Thanks even though it IS my room." Xigbar joked and Vexen rolled his eyes.

"Well it practically is considering you even decorated it to your liking." Vexen said and Xigbar gave him a thumbs up.

"Well I'll leave you alone with Zexion." He made the comment seem completely innocent to anyone who was hearing what he said but he did wink so only Vexen saw it.

"Cool." Vexen rolled his eyes and laughed and Xigbar flipped him off casually.

"So uhh yeah, fuck you dude. And later." Xigbar said the whole thing with a straight face but then ruined it with the cheesy grin and turned around and gave Demyx a tour of the house.

Zexion walked in with a cup of tea and placed it on the table in front of Vexen who was laying down on the couch looking completely miserable.

"You feeling any better?" Zexion whispered softly as he sat down on the floor.

"Oh if I could kill myself right now I would." Vexen grumbled but then smiled softly.

"Do you have any painkillers?" Zexion asked and Vexen pointed.

"Ask Xigbar. He's old." Vexen said and Zexion chuckled and got up.

"And this is the bathroom..." Xigbar was pointing to rooms.

"Excuse me, coach." Zexion called and Xigbar turned around and patted him on the back.

"It ain't coach at my house... Or outside of school. It's Xigbar. Now, what do you need kiddo?" He asked and crossed his arms.

"Vexen would like to know if you have painkillers." Zexion said and Xigbar snorted.

"Pft, chah. Of coarse I do." He grinned and walked into his room, which was CLEARLY his room because there was a sign on his door that said 'Vexen, this is no longer the guest room, it's Xigbar's room'. He walked back out and threw a bottle at Zexion. "There you go buddy." He said and Zexion nodded and walked back into the living room and walked over to Vexen and handed him the pills.

"Thank you." Vexen smiled and took two painkillers and laid back down.

"Do you want me to keep you company?" Zexion asked and Vexen smiled.

"Only if you want to stay with me." Vexen whispered and Zexion looked away then looked back at Vexen and saw his bright green eyes.

"I'll stay with you as long as you want me to." Zexion replied, with more meaning then one. Vexen gave him a cheesy grin.

"Then get your sleeping bag." He said and Zexion crawled closer to Vexen.

"I'd rather sleep right here. Next to you." Zexion said looking directly into Vexen's eyes. Vexen actually blushed.

"I'd like that better." Vexen said smiling and slowly sat up. "And I also like my room better than the couch. Sure it's comfortable but after a while, not really." With that he stood up and grabbed his cup of tea and slowly walked to his room which was on the opposite side of the house than the other rooms. He paused and cocked his head. "You coming?"

"Yes." Zexion said and got up and followed Vexen to his room. The room itself was blue. The walls were a light ocean blue. The carpets were tan. There was a desk in the corner that held multiple candles in every color. The blinds were down and the shades matched the carpet. The blankets were cerulean along with the pillow cases. The carpets were soft and the bed was a feather mattress. The bed was pressed against the corner wall. The air conditioner was on at 64 degrees and the room was basically calming.

"I like your room." Zexion said and Vexen shrugged and placed his drink on the coaster on the nightstand near his bed under the small lamp that he turned on so he could shut off the ceiling light. He climbed onto his king sized bed and sighed when he noticed he had blood on his suit. He kicked off his shoes and walked over to his walk in closet and Zexion's mouth gaped. He has more clothes than anyone he knew. He saw Vexen pull back his jacket and place it in a basket then he started unbuttoning his shirt. Zexion blushed.

"Do you want me to leave?" He asked and Vexen shook his head.

"You don't have to. You could chill somewhere. I'm just uncomfortable." He stated and pulled off his shirt. Zexion couldn't help but take a peak. He didn't know why Vexen said earlier that Zexion was so skinny it made him feel fat. Vexen wasn't anorexic, and he wasn't muscular. He was sort of in the middle.

Vexen pulled on a cotton white shirt and then pulled off his pants. Zexion subtly eyed his muscular legs and hid his eyes behind his curtain of hair. Vexen pulled up a pair of baggy pajama pants and pulled his hair out of his ponytail and pulled his glasses off and placed them on the table. He walked to the bed and jumped on it with a slight laugh. Zexion smiled at him. Zexion was sitting at Vexen's desk across from the bed. Vexen patted the empty spot next to him and Zexion blushed and pulled off his shoes and climbed on the bed and sat next to Vexen. He was suddenly not so thankful that he didn't change out of his gym clothes which consisted of shorts and a wife beater.

"You look cold." Vexen pointed out and Zexion gave him an embarrassed look. "Sorry I like my room pretty icy. Here." Vexen pulled the covers over Zexion, to about his waist. He then handed Zexion the remote. "Want to pick a show?" He asked and Zexion raised his eyebrow and looked around the room.

"I don't see the TV." He said and Vexen laughed and turned to his nightstand and picked up a remote and pressed the button and part of the wall was moved and a TV was behind it.

"...What were you before you were a teacher?" Zexion asked and Vexen smiled.

"A government scientist." He said simply and Zexion blinked a few times and pressed the on button.

"Hey it's The Notebook." Zexion pointed out as they saw Noah hanging on the Ferris Wheel.

"I would do that for someone I love." Vexen stated and Zexion looked at him smirking slightly.

"Oh yeah?" He questioned and Vexen nodded.

"Of coarse. It's just that the opportunity never came up." He said and Zexion blushed.

"What if I-Never mind." Zexion said quickly and Vexen turned to him.

"For you, of coarse." He whispered smoothly and Zexion shivered.

--

"So I heard when you were younger you were quite the ladies magnet." Demyx started and Xigbar shrugged.

"Yeah. I was known for that and not being in any real relationships." Xigbar said and Demyx stayed quiet.

"Would you... Be in a relationship with me?" His face was burning and Xigbar chuckled and pressed his lips to Demyx's and when he broke away his thumb was rubbing Demyx's cheek.

"I thought I already was." He cooed and Demyx grinned and kissed Xigbar lightly.

"You mean it?" Demyx asked hopefully and Xigbar looked around then noticed his ring and took it off and slid it onto Demyx's finger.

"Dude you've got me whipped." Xigbar said and Demyx giggled and Xigbar nibbled on his neck. "I've never wanted someone so bad."

"Not even a porn star?" Demyx asked cutely and Xigbar started laughing and shook his head.

"No Demyx. Not even a porn star." He laughed and kissed Demyx tenderly. "Kid your just to cute."

--

Zexion and Vexen fell asleep in the middle of the movie. Zexion was cold so subconsciously he clung to Vexen who had has arm around Zexion.

Zexion had his arms wrapped around Vexen's stomach and his head was resting on Vexen's chest. He honestly trusted Vexen completely and he didn't know why. After all, he only knew him for 2 days.

Vexen was dreaming for once about something not of the predicted future, but the wanted future. He was drinking a cup of coffee and Zexion was wearing an apron tending to two kids. A 4 year old that looked a lot like Vexen but had Zexion's eye color and vice versa with a 2 year old. Vexen smiled in his sleep.

Zexion was dreaming about his first kiss. It seemed so completely real but whoever he was kissing was in the shade so he never found out who he kissed.

Vexen slowly woke up. He was at the point of the movie where they were laying on the bed when the nurse came in and they both died together. Which was pretty depressing. He looked down at Zexion and smiled. He slowly stroked Zexion's hair. He then again thought how strange it was that he was in his bed with his student. But he really didn't care. Oddly enough, he liked the thought of him and Zexion together. Whether Zexion felt the same way was a story he didn't know the plot to.

As Vexen was playing with Zexion's hair, Zexion slowly woke up. His eyes were heavy and tired and the first thing he saw was the clock. It was 7 o'clock. How did he fall asleep?! Without even taking note of the fact that he was cuddling with his teacher he jumped up.

"I have to get home." He said breathlessly and Vexen smiled.

"Calm down." Vexen said and Zexion jumped out of the bed and put on his shoes.

"If my mom catches me that's fine, but if my dad does, oh there goes the town..." Zexion mumbled and put on his jacket. Vexen stood up.

"I'll get dressed and take you. Now calm down. We'll come up with something." Vexen said and winked as he walked into his closet and put on one of his million suits.

He walked out and walked to Xigbar's room. The music was blasting and Vexen pounded on the door and Xigbar answered and his hair was down.

"Chah?" He asked leaning on the doorknob to the inside of the door.

"Is Demyx still here?" Vexen asked and Xigbar nodded.

"Chah, but he's sleeping over. His parents aren't home or whatever. They asked if he could stay with me, of coarse they probably thought that I as his age but whatev." Xigbar said smirking and Vexen nodded.

"Alright."

"Can we sleep here tonight because I don't feel like driving." Xigbar said and Vexen playfully hit Xigbar.

"When aren't you here?" Vexen turned around and nodded. "Of coarse he could stay." Vexen walked over to Zexion. "Call your parents."

"Why?" Zexion asked and Vexen smirked.

"See if you could sleep over since I'm lazy." Vexen said and shrugged. "But if you can't I'll take you home."

"Ok..." Zexion said and pulled out his cell phone and mindlessly walked in circles as it rang.

"Hello?" Marluxia answered from the other side of the phone.

"Mom." Zexion said and Marluxia sighed in relief.

"Oh there you are! I was worried about you! When are you coming home?" Zexion bit his lip.

"Well that's the thing mom. You see, after cheerleading tryouts I found my friend laying on the floor and he was kind of vomiting blood."

"Oh dear. What happened?"

"I'm not exactly sure yet. But I took him to his house and I was taking care of him and mom I was just so freaked out I forgot to call. I am so sorry. And I was wondering if you weren't to mad if you'd let me stay over so I could make sure that he's going to be ok." Zexion said and Marluxia stayed silent.

"Can I talk to a parent?" He asked and Zexion nodded even though Marluxia couldn't see him.

"Yeah. Let me find him for you." Zexion said and put the phone down and covered the receiver.

"You've got to pretend to be the parent." Zexion whispered and Vexen smirked and motioned for Zexion to give him the phone.

"Hello?" Vexen called into the phone.

"Hi, I'm Marluxia. Zexion's mom. Are you sure he's allowed to stay over? I mean that's just scary to have that happen to your child. Are you sure you don't want to take him to the hospital or something? I could come pick Zexion up." Marluxia said, obviously more freaked out than Zexion was.

"Well, my son Even has that happen to him every so often. I don't yet know what causes it, and I'm a scientist so I'm really confused on why I can't figure it out. But he's really freaked out and Zexion is the only one to keep him calm so it would really help if he COULD stay but if you want, I could bring him home. It's really not a hassle." Vexen explained professionally.

"If your son needs my son there then he can stay. I just wanted to make sure you were ok with it." Marluxia said sympathetically.

"Of coarse. Zexion is a really well behaved young man. He's been nothing but helpful." Vexen said and Marluxia giggled slightly.

"Yes, that is Zexion. Well I need to talk to his father. If there is any problems, give me a call and I'll be there in a heartbeat." Marluxia said and Vexen chuckled softly.

"Oh there's no need for that. Have a good night." Vexen said.

"You too. Put my son on the phone please." Vexen handed Zexion the phone.

"Hello?"

"Behave Zexion. And I know it had to have been scary but next time please call me so I know what's going on."

"I know mom. I'm really sorry about that. It wont happen again."

"Alright. Well I love you. Goodnight."

"I love you too mom. Night."

With that Zexion hung up and gave Vexen a sly grin.

"Nice. And what's with the name Even? I don't know anyone with that name." Zexion said and Vexen smirked.

"That's my name." He said and Zexion blinked a few times.

"Wow really?" Vexen chuckled.

"Yeah. It's a shock that teachers actually have names." Vexen joked and Zexion smiled but rolled his eyes.

"Oh shut up." Zexion mumbled and Vexen started pulling off his suit.

"Shit, you should have called before I got changed." Vexen started to laugh.
