Ah... Took a while... But my friend, the very one who gave the idea, wanted to know what idea I had for VexenMarluxia... So I had to write... But, anyway, here's the next chapter.

Pandemonium Ensues

Chapter 3

The Morning After

( hints of SaixAxel, VexenMarluxia)

Roxas glared at Demyx, who was now attempting to look innocent. "You what?"

"I...heh... poisoned one of Zexion's cakes..."

"How could you be so stupid?" Roxas roared.

Demyx sighed. "I wanted to see what would happen..." he muttered. "I didn't steal the damn potions for nothing..." He paused. "Hey, I have one left over! You wanna see what it does?" he asked, already digging through his pockets.

"No!"

Demyx paused again. "You sound really angry, Roxas," he said. "So I think I'll leave you."

Roxas shook his head. "No. We're going to find the members that aren't affected by whatever you did and find a way to fix this!"

Can't say no to not having Zexion lick me... Demyx thought, sighing. "Fine... Who do you want to start with?"

"... Good question..."

Several floors below, Marluxia was on his way to Vexen's lab. The only thing stopping him was Saix. "No, Saix," he said loudly, stopping the other member midsentence and earning himself a glare. "I haven't seen Axel since he said Roxas was cute. Now will you move?"

Saix cocked one eyebrow. "Axel thinks Roxas is cute...?"

"That's what he said."

Saix nodded slowly. "This could work to my advantage," he murmured, seemingly deep in thought.

Marluxia sighed. "Yeah, that's great. Can you move now?"

Saix, still muttering to himself, stepped to the side and let Marluxia pass him.

The door to Roxas's room creaked open slowly, and the blonde himself peeked out. The only thing he saw was Larxene, standing in another pair of Marluxia's boxers a black tank-top, and staring quizzically at him. "Roxas, what are you doing?"

"Making sure Axel isn't around," Roxas said, stepping out of his room.

Larxene nodded. "Mm hmm... Isn't he your friend?"

"Not today, he's not," Roxas answered. "Demyx poisoned a cake and now..." He stopped, not wanting to finish his sentence.

"Now what?"

Demyx grinned, happy at anyone's misfortune's but his own. "Axel's gay for Roxas."

Larxene paused, then started laughing. "I knew it! All those days of him telling me he wasn't are proven wrong!"

"Larxene," Roxas said, stopping her. "It's only because of the cake..."

"Well, shit... There goes my blackmail," she muttered, before putting on an obviously fake, cheery smile. "So... What are you boys up to now?"

"We're trying to find the members that didn't eat the poisoned cake," Roxas said.

"Which cake was poisoned?"

Roxas paused and looked at Demyx. "Red velvet..." Demyx muttered. Larxene nodded and turned on her heels, waving for them to follow. Roxas threw another glare at Demyx, then jogged after her.

Inside Vexen's lab, Marluxia had gained absolutely no information about how to reverse whatever had happened. "Vexen, I'll ask again," he said, cutting Vexen's rant about his newest experiment off. "Do you have any idea how to fix Axel and make him not-gay?"

Vexen paused. "Hmm... If I knew which potions were used, I suppose I could "fix" Axel. Although I see nothing wrong with the fact that Axel has annouced his sexual orientation."

"He's not gay," Marluxia muttered. "At least, he normally isn't gay."

"And how do you know this?" Vexen asked. "Do you have a sort of radar that tells you who is gay and who isn't?"

Marluxia stared at Vexen, wondering exactly how he'd gotten into this conversation. "Vexen... Axel. Is. Not. Gay. All right?"

Vexen smirked. "If you say so. But if Axel says he is, then he is. It's his choice. But, if you must have it, I suppose there is a way to "fix" him."

"How?" Marluxia asked. Finally... what he needed to know.

Vexen's smirk widened to a self-satisfied grin. "I would need so time to find the way. But once I do, and the way is set, it'll be very easy."

"...What?"

"Just leave it to me. I can "fix" him...and maybe you too."

Marluxia blinked, instantly confused. "What's wrong with me?"

"Why, nothing of course! Not if you don't want anything to be wrong with you, that is."

Marluxia rolled his eyes and turned around, meaning to leave the lab and find someone who actually spoke in English and not in riddles. Before his hand reached the doorknob, however, he felt something run over his backside. Marluxia froze. The only other thing in the room with him that could possibly do that - and seemingly have quite a good time, judging by how vigoursly it was rubbing - was none other than Vexen.

His eye twitched.

"Vexen..." he growled through gritted teeth.

"Hmm...?"

Marluxia whirled around, causing the scientist to remove his hand. "What the hell do you-"

Marluxia was cut off as Vexen lunged forward and placed his mouth on his and pushed his back against the wall. Quite a few beakers fell to the floor and broke as Marluxia struggled against the man now pressed against him. Soon, his shock was overwhelmed by anger, and the scythe materalized in his already clenched fist.

Only to go crashing to the floor soon after as Marluxia's eyes widened in what might have been terror.

Vexen had just forced Marluxia's mouth fully open, and Marluxia was sincerely hoping what was now inside of his mouth was not Vexen's tongue. His body went completely rigid as he came to the unwanted answer, that, yes, Vexen had indeed squirmed his tongue into his mouth.

Marluxia gagged.

He felt Vexen grinning against his lips and finally summoned enough common sense to push Vexen off. As the older man hit the floor, he looked up at Marluxia, who was drawing in deep, shaking breaths to try and calm himself, and grinned.

"Very nice, Marluxia," he said. "You taste excellent."

Marluxia paused, stunned, then teleported out of the lab, meaning to find a toilet and vomit.

Ah ha... Vexen's a bad man. Jumping Marluxia when he least expects it.

...I apologize to Marlu-kun...
