Zexion and His Many Jobs

Disclaimer: I own nothing of the KH characters.

Chapter 1: Pretty Flowers

I seemed to have found myself in the worse place possible all thanks to the lovely Superior. He seems to have found it funny to make me go do a job he knew I wouldn't be able to stand. Of course I can't refuse him because I can't stand seeing the hurt in his eyes when I try, plus the puppy eyes he sends my way, I just can't say no.

Right now I am trying not to faint from the strong and horrible scent wafting into my too sensitive nose. The smell was burning my nose and giving me a migraine. You are probably wondering where the hell I am that I am having this reaction…well I am hiding under the counter of the local flower shop trying to make the smell go away.

Do you want to guess who helped Superior to make me do this? Any guesses at all. One word, Marluxia. For some god for saken reason they seemed to have taken a fancy to torturing me. They say it is to help me get out of the castle and especially to get my nose out of all the books that I read. I think if any one of us needs a job it would be Demyx and Xaldin, they cause the most problems! I was forced into this job and now I want to run, run away, and quickly.

Clang Cling Clang

Oh crap that is the shop bell telling me that a customer just came through the door. I slowly crawled out from under the counter and stood up. I totally didn't expect to see the person standing in front of me.

Sora was standing there with a very sheepish grin on his face, then the terror when he saw that it was me behind the counter. "Ahh, what are you doing here!? Please don't hurt me!"

"Don't worry, I can't hurt you, my job won't allow that." I said hoping he would run but then I would get yelled at by my boss.

"Well O- wait….you work here? I thought you would be the last person to work in a place like this."

Sora could really be an idiot sometimes. Why can't he see that I am miserable and just want to run away. "Well do you need flowers or what?"

"Oh, yeah, um, I don't know what I should get though…" He then looked around the shop, embarrassed and not sure what to do.

"Uh, sure…" I then walked around the shop grabbing flowers that had whites, pinks, purples, and reds in them. I got everything collected, trimmed, and wrapped onto one of those bouquet paper cone things all within five minutes.

"Hmmm, these look pricy and I can't believe that you put all of these together in that short of time." Sora said looking at the bouquet that had pink and white roses with babies breath mixed in, then a tulip or iris for all I knew, and then I had grabbed a stem of orchids and put it in there also.

"I don't think it is that expensive. It really isn't that hard to put flowers together. You don't have to be a rocket scientist." I think that the horrid smell was getting to me. I really was getting into a bad mood. "Umm that will be 25 munny please."

Sora gave me the money and hurriedly walked out the door. This was my chance to get out of this dump they call a flower shop. I walked into the back and asked my boss if I could go on brake.

Once I was outside my brain finally started to not kill me as bad. As I just was standing there letting my nose clear from the stench. Then I smelt burnt toast. Oh no, not him.

Just then none other then Axel walked around the corner. Why he smells like burnt toast to me I have no idea. He just does. Nobody else can smell it, maybe it is just what his presence smells like.

"Wow, so that is were you went… Demyx and I and some of the others wanted to know if you wanted to play some tag dodgeball with us."

"Sorry but I can't. I have to go back in there….and do some more work." I shuddered at the thought of having to go back into the building.

"Ok, well see you later then…" Then Axel ran away. I headed back into the damn shop and was almost knocked onto my ass because of the horrid smell. My boss just looked at me like I was insane since my eyes were watering.

I shook my head to clear it somewhat and walked into the main room since I heard the bell to the front of the store ring. Who I saw then made me want to run back into the back and hide. I was surprised that I didn't smell them but then again my nose was being burdened by the putrid stench of the shop.

"Oh man Zexion! What the hell are you wearing?!" The big one with side burns asked. The pirate wannabe just snickered next to him.

"Don't make fun of my uniform Xaldin, and Xigbar stop snickering!" Ah, yes, my uniform. I hated it, why I couldn't just wear my coat, I have no idea. I had am presently wearing some khaki pants with a pink, oh yes I just said pink, polo shirt, with a very flowery apron that blended into the shirt since the flowers are pastel colored.

"Why aren't you wearing your coat?" Xigbar was finally able to ask without laughing.

"Xemmy said that I had to wear whatever they told me to wear and you know how I can't just not listen to my Xemmy-kins." I pouted knowing how utterly stupid I sounded.

"Wow he does have you wrapped around his little finger doesn't he?" Xigbar said with a smirk. I couldn't respond to him. I just nodded to him and turned around too look at a flower.

"Are you guys going to get some flowers or something or did you just come in here to laugh at me?"

"Oh, yeah I think we were just leaving, I think I can here Demyx calling for us to go play some tag dodgeball with him and Axel." Xaldin said turning around and walking out of door.

"Don't bother me at work!" Oh yes that is all I could say to them as they walked out of the store. I mentally slapped myself for not being able to come up with a smartass comment to say to them before they left.

I heard my boss yelling at me to do some of the flower arrangements so they could be done. I walked into the cooler so I could work with the really fresh flowers saved for weddings and things like that.

The stench in this room was much worse. My brain instantly had a headache, no more like a migraine! I tried to not breathe through my nose but that didn't work because I could still smell or more like taste the flowers in my mouth, it made me gag.

I went to the flowers and quickly through things together and put them in vases and the crinkly paper. After that I was finally able to clock out to go home. I took the stupid apron off and put my coat over the pants and shirt and ran home so I could go to my room and wallow in my horrible day.

As I was heading up the stairs I was stopped by a hand on my shoulder. I turned around to see the one and only Xemnas. "Oh, hello, I am just going to go to my room I will be right back."

"Oh no, you don't. I want to see your uniform. You know how much I love you in pink…"

"Ah! Not you too! I hate that stupid job and I am never going back! I am going up to my room and burning this damn uniform! Grrr. I still can't get that smell from my nose!" My little rant was done and so was I. I finished running up the stairs and into my room.

After I burned that damn uniform I sat on my bed, picked up my book and told myself that is the first and last job I will ever have. That made me happy and content to open my book and start reading ending the horrid day off on a good note for me.

Lets just hope that Xemnas finally got over trying to get me out of the castle and away from my books. I am much better staying here in my room reading.
