Chapter Seven: Forbidden Love

By now, my hatred had faded. I was satisfied with my result, and I was able to be myself again. When I got back to the castle, it was midnight yet again. I dropped in my bed and slept until noon the next morning, when Marluxia entered my room.

"What were you thinking?" He yelled.

"Wha… what?" I was still groggy.

"You decimated Disney Castle! You could've been ki—" he regained his composure and changed his sentence. "I mean, you could have killed one of the spies Xemnas has in the castle."

"Hold on a sec. You mean to tell me that while I was out destroying a castle, you were worried that I was going to get hurt, rather than the hundreds of people around it?" I was both confused at and proud of the fact that I could formulate such a question so soon after waking.

"Well… yes. Organization XIII needs as many members as it can get." He stuttered out. At this point, his rosy cheeks matched the color of his flower-colored hair.

"Marluxia, why are you—"

"I'm not blushing." He was a terrible liar. "I just have a fever."

"First of all, I question that you can even get a fever. Second, how'd you know I was going to say 'blushing'?"

"You're blushing, too!" He blurted out childishly. If I wasn't blushing before, I sure as hell was now. Before I could think of a witty response, Marluxia leapt toward me, pressing his lips against mine. When he discontinued the kiss, he stepped back calmly.

"You had me worried. Don't be so reckless." Marluxia left the room and locked the door for me.

I was still completely dazed. Deciding that it was probably a dream, I set my head back down. That couldn't have happened. Not in reality. Right?
