Xaldin clenched his fists and stormed to a white door just down the hall from where he was hiding from Luxord and Marluxia.
"Ze-" He started but the reply came fast.
"Come in Xaldin," Came a small voice that had an ominous touch to it.
Xaldin walked in, "How did you know it was me?" He asked starting to calm down a little bit.
Sitting on his bed was Zexion or, the cloaked schemer, as he had been called throughout his years at RGAB. Zexion was bent over a literature book and had several stacks of paper scattered everywhere. He was writing so fast his hand was barely visible.
"I can smell you," Zexion replied, not looking away from his studies.
Xaldin rose an eyebrow, "Right..." he said. "Well, anyway I need you to take care of a rat. You know, captain of the football team, the really fucking annoying one!" He snapped slamming his hands against the bed making papers fly ;eft and right.
"Oh, yes, yes I can take care of your rat, for a price," Zexion smiled.
"Fifty bucks!" Xaldin said immediately.
"Yes, I'll have your little 'rat' taken care of quickly," He smiled snatching the money from Xaldin's hand.
"Good, and don't you double cross me, or I'll strangle you, got it...Zexy?" He smiled leaning over to place his large fingers around Zexion's scrawny neck.
Zexion smiled, "Help Xaldin is hurting me!" He yelled.
A larger male entered the room. It was Zexion's roommate, Lexaeus. He was large with red hair and piercing eyes. He took Xaldin by the collar and threw him off of the bed and against the floor. Xaldin stared at Lexaeus angrily while gritting his teeth.
"What the hell, Lexaeus!?" Xaldin growled stretching his back.
Lexaeus didn't say anything, which wasn't unusual, because he was always the quiet type. He crossed his arms as Xaldin walked out. Zexion snapped his fingers and Lexaeus obediently opened the closet door, revealing Marluxia and Luxord. Marluxia was holding Luxord so close that there was no gaps between them. Luxord looked up at Lexaeus then to Marluxia, then to Zexion.
"Why would he want to get rid of you?" He asked Marluxia.
Zexion smirked, "It's simple boy, he doesn't want you to be happy at all so he is going to have me take Marluxia out," He lied.
Marluxia agreed, "Yes, he is just jealous that he can't keep a mate," he nodded.
Lexaeus nodded in agreement crossing his arms.
"Aw, I knew he was bad from the start!" Luxord huffed.
Marluxia stared Luxord in the eyes, and smiled softly. "You're so cute," he said lightly kissing Luxord.
Luxord blushed and kissed him back, "You guys 'ave been the nicest people to me since I got 'ere," he smiled.
They all nodded, "Just stick by my side and I'll protect you from all the Xaldin's of this school," Marluxia purred.
Luxord smiled and nodded, "Thank you Marluxia," he giggled.
Marluxia looked at Luxord for a moment, "Will you wait for me outside?" He asked.
Luxord blinked for a moment "Yeah, okay," he smiled walking out.
Marluxia smiled at him until he walked out, "Okay look Here's the money, thank you so much for helping me," he grinned stuffing four hundred dollar bills down Zexion's shirt.
"Must you do that?!" Zexion snapped.
Marluxia smiled, "Okay I'm leaving," he laughed strutting to the door where he grabbed Luxord's hand and began walking again.
They both walked and looked at each other every once in awhile. When one would look the other would look away. They were still a bit shy towards each other, but why not be? They had really just started to get to know each other. Luxord took in every detail of the school. Every painting every statue, every oddly shaped door, and window. It was really intriguing to him, to see all these designs from different places and time periods be clashed together in one castle like boarding school. Marluxia and Luxord kept walking. They walked and would glance at each other, not saying a word the entire time. Whenever Luxord wanted to ask where exactly they were going he couldn't. He wasn't sure why it was so difficult for him, it just was. He looked at Marluxia and Marluxia looked back, after feeling Luxord's gaze. Instead of looking away, Luxord kept looking. Marluxia didn't pull away from the gaze either He kept looking, and then he smiled. Luxord smiled back. Marluxia was much larger than Luxord, so he had to look down at Luxord when speaking, or when he wanted to smile at him.
"Hey, I want you to meet some guys from my team," Marluxia smiled.
"O-Okay..." Luxord said softly.
"It's okay, don't be nervous," Marluxia said holding Luxord close to his side.
Xaldin came back to Zexion's room after a few hours of relaxing his aching back. Zexion was a asleep, but that didn't stop Xaldin from bursting right in.
"Zexion!?" He boomed.
Zexion was curled up in a little ball next to some papers. Xaldin looked around and leaned over Zexion to see if he was really asleep. He smiled sinisterly and felt now was the time for snooping. He couldn't have any double crossers on his side. He sat at the edge of Zexion's bed and shuffled through his neatly stacked papers. He threw them on the ground there was nothing! He started searching through another stack. When that one was complete he still was as lost as he was when he started. As he felt like his endeavor was a meaningless one he saw something sparkling from under the bed. He got on his hands and knees and pulled out a glittery card with two teddy bears. One was large and smiling while holding the other bears hand. The other bear was tiny and holding a giant balloon that was slightly carrying it off the ground. Xaldin tilted his head to the side as he read the card to himself.
Dear Zexion,
Happy anniversary. Two years! I am really happy that we have
managed to carry it out this far without fighting, or getting mad at each other.
I hope you are doing very well in your studies, and I like that poem you gave to me.
I thought it was simply divine!
Yours forever,
Lexaeus 3 XOXO
Xaldin stared in disbelief. His mouth and eyes were opened, almost inhumanly, wide. He twitched and the card slipped out of his hands and floated stealthily onto the floor. He began to get curious. The smart little emo boy and the star quarter back of the football team going out? And for two years?! This was crazy, either he was out of the loop or they were keeping their romance a secret. He looked under the bed some more, curiosity was getting the best of him. He reached his hand deep under the bed and felt something soft. He took it out. It was a small bear holding a heart shaped pillow. It read 'I wuv you' on it. Xaldin started laughing to himself. It was a joke, right? It had to be a joke. He squeezed it and it started to sing a delightful little song. How annoying the song was! It was loud and Zexion began turning in his sleep. It kept singing the song over and over and over again. It seemed non stop.
Well you looked at me and I smiled at you,
You caught me with your gaze and I couldn't break loose.
Your beauty hooked me tight and reeled me in,
I knew we'd be together until the end
It kept going, and Xaldin felt as if he were about to strangle the bear. "Shh!" he pleaded, and the bear stopped and he sighed in relief. What kind of spy was he? Almost letting a stuffed bear reveal him. He set it back under the bed and grabbed a box that was sitting next to the bear. He opened it and looked inside. There were several notes and letters. The stationary was mostly made up of pastel yellows, pinks, and greens. There would be a faint picture on the stationary, whether it be roses or hearts. He read through three letters, all of them were love letters, then he just read certain words.
"Love...heart...date..." He gasped.
That was it, the only thing keeping him on top of his game was knowing that Zexion wasn't dating anyone, and that he was just a poor pathetic writhing emo boy, that was very clever and devious, with a cold heart, but this just proved him wrong. Zexion was portrayed as a sweet caring and loving person. Xaldin held his knees to his chest. He must've been the only one then, the only one that was pathetic and lonely. He stood up and was just about to give up on searching when he noticed a paper in Zexion's hand. In bold letters at the top it read 'Marlu-" but the rest was covered by Zexion's slim, pale fingers. Xaldin slowly slipped the paper away from Zexion's hand. He read the paper, and his frown began to slowly turn into a pleased grin.
"You pulled in for me again little buddy," Xaldin whispered kissing Zexion's temple.
