Xaldin looked down at Luxord who was looking shyly at his feet.

"O-Oh...hye Luxord...I..uhm...I wanted to say...sorry I didn't mean what I did, but I kind of...couldn't help myself? I mean..it's like making a dog hold a treat on it's nose and telling it not to eat it. I...well I the point is, I'm really really sorry...and I can leave you alone from now on," he said rubbing the back of his own head.

Luxord looked up at him, his eyes were red and his face was flushed, "X-Xaldin..." he mumbled softly.

Xaldin's mouth opened slightly and his face took on an expression of guilt, "O-Oh! I'm sorry...I-I didn't mean to make you cry!" he gasped.

"It wasn't you," Luxord sobbed hugging him.

Xaldin looked at him and tilted his head to the side. "If it wasn't me who could it be?" he wondered. "Marluxia!? Did Marluxia do this to you?" Xaldin asked. "Was he the one that made you so upset!?"

Luxord was silent which proved Xaldin's theory to be true. "What did he do to you?" Xaldin asked bending down a bit to be the same height as Luxord.

"Can we go to your room?" Luxord asked wiping his eyes.

Xaldin nodded, "Of course, anything you want," he said kissing Luxord's forehead. Luxord found a comfort in Xaldin's kiss. It was gentle and passionate, though only on the forehead. Marluxia's kisses were agressive and forceful they seemed bitter sweet, infact they were more bitter than sweet.

Xaldin noticed, as they walked towards his room, Luxord was walking with a limp. "Hey are you okay? Why are you limping?" He asked.

Luxord looked up at him like a lost puppy, still not breathing a word.

Xaldin blinked and looked at him, "Oh..." He said looking away obviously in thought. "Oh! Oh!" He said finally understanding, "I'll kill him," he growled. "I swear to god! I'll murder him!" He said clenching his fists.

"It's fine..." Luxord said softly. "I'm fine."

Xaldin put an arm around him protectively and opened the door to his room. "Come on, you must be exhausted you can lay down. I'll get you some water because your thorat hurts, huh?" he asked.

Luxord nodded and layed down. He cringed as pain still shot through his body. "Thank you..." he sighed. "But why do you always help me?"

Xaldin looked at him and sat him up, "What do you mean?" he asked raising an eyebrow. He slowly helped Luxord drink the water.

Luxord swallowed and pushed the bottle away, "I've been so mean to you. I thought you were the bad guy, but...you weren't," he mumbled into the pillow.

Xaldin laughed lightly, "No, I should be sorry I was really rude to you when you first came here. I thought you were going to be like one of those pompous nose in the air guys...I know I was being stereotypical, but you were really just an innocent sheepish little guy right?" Xaldin smiled softly petting Luxord's head.

Luxord shrugged, "I guess..." he mumbled.

Xaldin frowned, "Look I wish I was there to protect you...I'm sorry I wasn't. I promise that from now on I will always be by your side, and I would do anything to take back what Marluxia did to you."

Luxord smiled, "It's fine," he said hugging Xaldin. "I really thought you were going to be one of those jerks that only cares about sex, sex, sex," he said sticking his tongue out.

Xaldin layed down next to him and laughed, "Haha, this will be a great story to tell our kids one day," he nodded.

Luxord looked up at him, "Kids? We're both males though," he said raising an eyebrow.

Xaldin shrugged, and tackled him then kissed his cheek, "I don't care. If you want kids I would bend reality to make it happen," he smiled widely.

Luxord rolled his eyes playfully, "You know what I really want?" He asked.

"What?" Xaldin asked.

Luxord whispered in his ear while keeping a content smile on his face.

Xaldin blushed and thought over what had just been suggested to him. He smiled and nodded then kissed Luxord's lips lightly.

THE END! Finally I never thought I'd have the guts to finish this nine chapter story O.O;; I never planned it to be nine chapters actually. There! Happy ending are you all happy now!? And it ended up being more MarLux than XalLux...I apologize for that!
