Rubber Duckie Time!

Staring at Zexion with anger, Axel's green eyes were burning a hole through his head. Why the hell did he have to take care of this little twerp? Couldn't he just eat him? Eh, no, Xemnas would have a bitch fit and cast him into the deep dark depths of oblivion.

Okay, you can handle this...But for fuck's sake, he pissed all over the damn bed! Grrrr

The freaking kid was still screaming. He shouldn't have reacted like that...Axel thought about it for a while. Just staring at Zexion, he crossed his arms and shook his head. He had forgotten what it was like to be human. So fragile...let alone being a child.

"Kid...shut up..."

Zexion burried his face in a pillow and curled up in the fetal position. He was slowly making his screams disapear into sobs and sniffles.

Axel made his way towards him, only to have Zexion start screaming in panic and scooting away from him. Shit, he really shouldn't have reacted like that. The boy was scared now more than ever.

"Hey hey, shhh. Calm down."

Axel sat down right next to him, avoiding the wet spot on his matress he would have to scrub later. He didn't exactly know how to show much affection, except for what he saw other humans do.

Zexion was trembling as the tears found their way down his pale cheeks and to his chin. His wide lavender hues were gazing into Axel's.

"I'm not gonna hurt you right now...I just want to get you cleaned up."

He spoke softly, and let his hand find Zexion's cheek, wiping away his tears.

"C'mon, you're coming with me."

Standing up he grabbed Zexion beneath the arms, and lifted him off the bed. He was soaking wet. Yuck yuck yuck, You little ass bite! Holding Zexion against his cloathed chest, he patted him on the back and ran his fingers through his hair. Zexion had calmed down.

"Shhh.."

Ignoring the sticky piss seeping into his shirt, Axel shrugged it off and made his way across the house and to the bathroom. He would just have to slip it off and wash it later. Flicking on the light switch he sat Zexion on the closed toilet seat and patted him on the head. What the fuck was he doing? Throwing off his shirt, he tossed it behind him and knelt down on one knee by the bath tub. Turning on the water to medium, he waited for it to fill at least half way.

He blinked at Zexion just as the kid did the same back to Axel. Awkward silence for at least that of ten seconds, until Axel decided to break the ice.

"I never got your name...I'm Axel, if you didn't already know. But I think the way Xemnas was barking it around, You've probably already got it memorized..."

". . . ."

"Wanna tell me your name?"

Surprisingly, he answered.

"Zexion..."

Axel half smiled.

"Okay then Zexie, do you like bubbles in your bath?"

Zexion nodded.

"Have you ever taken a bath all by yourself, as in without anybody to help you?"

Unfortunatly, he shook his head.

Greaaaaat, Now what am I going to do? Sit here and bathe the little monkey? Fuck that. I'm sorry but no. Hell fucking no. I don't waaant to, and i wont and that's final! Got that memorized?

five minutes later

Giggles somehow found their way out of Zexion's mouth as he splashed around in the soapy water. Axel just crossed his arms and sat on the edge, leaning against the tiled wall with his eyes half way closed.

More giggles.

Oh, how cute...The hot head thought sarcastically. Well, at least the little shit shut up. See? Axel could be nice. But it seemed his moods changed quite often. He had found a little rubber ducky beneath the sink for him to play with. Maybe that would keep him occupied the entire time.

giggles.

Sigh escaped his lips, and he glanced at Zexion. Covered in bubbles, he looked like a little white cup cake. There was even a pile of foamy bubbles on his head.

"quack!"

He tilted his head to the side, and quirked a brow.

"quack quack!"

Now this right here, was somewhat funny, and yet so stupid...Axel bit his lower lip and scratched the top of his head. Not paying attention to Zexion for less then two seconds he felt the rubber ducky smack onto the side of his head with a squeek.

Louder giggles.

"You little shit! Did you just throw that at me?"

Zexion was still giggling, but he shook his head.

With a glare he flashed his fangs and twitched his eye.

"Then who did?"

Zexion pointed to the ducky.

"Quackers flew!"

His eyes were wide with exageration and he waved his arms up and down splashing a hell of a lot of water all over the place.

"Quack!"

"Stop it! You're getting water everywhere, damnit!"

Zexion did as he was told. Just sitting there silently he poked at the foamy bubbles.

"okay, time to wash that hair of yours I guess..."

"NO! You can't!"

He pouted his lip and crossed his arms, giving a childish glare at Axel.

"Uh..fine. I wont."

"No! You can't do dat either!"

"Then what the hell do you wanna do?"

Was he really having this conversation?

"Mommy has to do it! You don't know how! You'd get soap in my eyes!"

"Would not..."

"You would too!"

"Well, your mother is de-"

Axel shook his head and thoght of an easier way to put it. He didn't want him to start screaming again. Was it a possiblity he was blocking the incident out? Or did he just not know? Or was it denial?

"Your mother isnt...here. She's gone. And she isn't coming back, okay?"

"No, she is! She wouldn't weave me wit a dumb butt like you!"

He pointed at Axel and stuck out his tongue.

"You aint exactly the brightest crayon in the box either..."

"And you have dumb hair!"

Axel growled at that.

"Damnit! My hair is way cooler than yours, and you have purple sissy hair! So don't you talk about my hair ya little shit! Now we're gonna wash that rat's nest of yours weather you fucking like it or not!"

With that said, Axel grabed Zexion's small head in the palm of his hand and and shoved him under the water.

Maybe...I can drown the little fucker..and then I won't have to deal with this, anymore..No, Xemnas will have my ass for it.

Letting him come up to take a breather, Axel grabbed the shampoo bottle to his left and squirted it on Zexion's head.

"hahaha...Now sit still or I will get it in your eyes purposly."

" fine you little shit! Don't gotta be a meanie butt about it."

Okay, now did he just call me a little shit? What a little shit! He cant use that language! He's a fuckin' baby! I'm the adult here.

"Don't say that! You're little and I'm big. I say it, and you can't to shit about it. You say it, and I will smack that little white ass of yours so fucking hard...that you won't be able to sit down for a week, without feeling a sting.

"sowry ax-owl..."

"Axel..A-X-E-L!"

Zexion was silent.

So from then on Axel washed his hair, and conditioned it as well. Letting him play in the tub, alone, for the least of ten minutes, Axel teleported to headquarters.

"Xemnas!"

Nothing...

"Xemnaaas!"

Finally he saw a shadowy figure making his way towards him.

"There you are you dick head. I need some little clothe-"

"Xemnas isn't here."

Animal like hues were the only thing visible, But Axel knew who it was. Her voice was one of many he knew well.

"Okay then...Larxene, I have a situation on my hands. And I ne-"

"You need some clothing for the human, yes?"

Oh fucking greaaat. She already knew? He didn't even get the chance to tell...that meant the whole clan knew. Peerfect. Just what he needed.

"Yeah. Can you help me out? Or do I have to stand here listen to you make quite a humiliating deal out of this.."

She had that evil smile across her face as she aproached.

"Both, now you do know you reak of human waste, correct?"

" Uh, yeah... Zexion pissed all over my bed."

"It has a name?"

"Are you a bitch?"

"Hmph. Funny."

With that said she disapeared down the hallway, and almost as soon as she left, Larxene came back with a bundle of cloathing that would surely fit the small boy.

" I figured you'd need them once Xemnas told me of the situation...I took the liberty of stealing them for you. I am a woman, after all. Dead or not."

She handed them to Axel and Smiled evily.

"Before you ask, yes, yes, yes, yes, and no. No goes for the caring, yes for the miserable. Now, don't you just love my suffering. Does it turn you on?"

He spoke sarcastically and turned around to walk away.

" Oh, absolutly, my big bad quackers."

She was snickering at her own words.

"Oh, you bitch..."

So she had paid a little invisible visit, eh?

Before she could respond, he was back home. Throwing the bundle of clothes on the living room table, he picked out some little boxers, and a t-shirt.

"Oh, Zeeexie!"

Long strides were given as he rushed to the restroom.

"Time to get..."

He froze for a moment at the door.

"..out."

Oh fuck me...Where the hell did he go.

All that was left at the scene of the crime, was the empty bubble bath, the piss soaked clothes on the floor, and the rubber ducky staring at him with mocking blue painted on eyes.

"Shiiit..."
