I didn't forget this. I've just been busy. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'll try to get around to individual responses soon!


"Just what are you getting into here?" Zexion asked himself as he walked the halls of Castle Oblivion.

He had no delusions that it was love. Either on his side or hers. But he was no closer to understanding what it was.

She was pretty, certainly. But a pretty face had never been enough to turn his head before. So there would have to be more to it than that. He finds her fascinating. She fakes emotions much better than any of the rest of them. She was even capable of crying. It was mildly interesting. Is it boredom that brings him to behave like this?

No. Boredom had never caused him to act in this manner before.

"Perhaps I just enjoy her company. Could it really be that simple?"

Giving a sigh, he stopped in the middle of the hallway, running his fingers through his hair. He had more important matters to deal with. He didn't have time for these silly thoughts.

"Zexion?"

He turned his attention to the person addressing him. "Lexaeus."

"Everything alright?" The man asked, frowning.

"Of course." Zexion replied, tilting his head to one side. "I was just thinking."

"Your always thinking." Lexaeus said, resting a large hand atop Zexion's head. "It's possible to over think things, you know."

"Because you begin to overlook the key details."

"Yes. But I guess telling you not to think is like telling a fish not to swim or a bird not to fly."

Zexion allowed his lips to curl into a rare smile for his friend.

Lexaeus offered a smile in return, before his expression went serious again. "Just take care of yourself. Your looking tired."

"No more tired than the rest of you." Zexion replied, passing him by.
