Alright guys~ Here we go- sorry for taking so long to update this! Ugh! I really have been slacking! I got a lot of idea's now though, I'm gonna switch this up a bit, originally I'd planned to do a series of one shots but I decided to just merge this into a long chaptered fic of the escapades of these two crazies ;D So, without further adeu~!
CHAPTER ONE: Rose
Diary Entry #65
Today's the day I start my plans. Once I'm done with him Vexen will be melting right into my arms, or into my bed, which ever works at the time. It's been a week since I've last written in you, but don't worry, I'll have a lot to say now that I'm putting things into action!
It's late afternoon, he should be in his lab working on some pointless experiment. I don't know why he wastes his time researching things that no one else here gives a damn about. Soon, I'll be the one occupying his time.
He dated the entry in his near perfect handwriting and closed the large black book that he liked to call his diary. They had all been given journals upon moving into the castle, call it a simple house warming gift.
His had quickly gotten lost down the side of his bed, but one day cleaning a few months ago he'd found the book and dubbed it Diary. Who else did he have to tell about his brilliant schemes anyways? No one else seemed to appreciate his genius. Never the less, he had work to do today.
He'd been here quite awhile, but you only needed to live within the castle for less than a month to notice Vexen had a strict and unchanging schedule. It wasn't like it was much of a mystery anyways. 9am until 8pm everyday he was buried in his lab doing who knows what.
The castle was usually dead this time of day, he decided to walk down to the basement.
Naturally, Vexen wasn't expecting anything out of the norm to occur on this particular day. He was busy working away on a new project, it seemed animals were a thing of fiction in this world that they lived in. But if he could gain some Canis genes perhaps he could easily splice the genetics.
He had just recently gone on a trip to a most curious world and managed to bring back a small vile containing a small hair. He'd carefully prepared the hair on a slide, pressing the glass panels together carefully as to not crush the small particles. It was perfect, now just to slip it under the microscope and-
There was a tap on his door. He looked up, annoyance clearly written on his face. Who would think to come down here and bother him? Who even ever bothered with him at all. Reluctantly he stood and went to the door, no reason to ignore someone really...
"May I help...you...number XI" His face fell with the realization of who was standing at his doorway.
Why would Marluxia come down to his lab if not to annoy him with some pointless talk of simplistic botany or some other mutually monotonous subject. He really wasn't in the mood. He had an important scientific breakthrough to get back to!
"Vexen" He noticed the distaste on the other mans face. Then again, he always looked like that.
"Yes, I asked, may I help you with something?" The icy man stood, impatiently, waiting for Marluxia to say something dimwitted and be on his way.
Marluxia simply held out a rose, a simple rose, red, fresh and in bloom.
Well, at least today was botany and not simply mind numbing annoyance.
"What do you want me to do with that?" Vexen asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's for you, I had a few extra's and figured perhaps you could use it for...some sort of experiment." He smiled, perfectly genuinely, years of practice with that made it quite natural.
"I have no use for such a thing XI, why on earth would you have an extra rose?" Someone planted a certain amount of roses and that was that, there were no accidental extras and even if there were, wouldn't that just be an asset to the garden?
"Don't lie to me Vexen, I know you could make use of this. Just take it." He thrust the rose into Vexen's arms. The blonde just gave him a look of distrust but held onto the rose anyways.
"Fine, I'll accept the rose, now if you'll excuse me, unfortunately your visit will need to be short lived as I am working on an important experiment. Good day" He gave him another annoyed look and disappeared back into the lab, rose in hand, to continue with this experiment.
Instead of quickly re-taking his seat, he leaned against the closed door and looked down at the rose. "Why on earth..." he muttered to himself, though a small smile threatened to spread across his face. Was the pink haired annoyance really just trying to be hospitable for once?
Marluxia simply returned to his room with a grin on his face.
Journal Entry #4:
Marluxia came down to my lab today, and gave me a rose. I am baffled as to why he would do this, though it does smell lovely. I think I will keep it on my desk for the few days before it wilts, it brings a splash of colour to this dull place.
As infuriating as he is, he definitely is full of surprises.
How was it guys? Seem like it's setting up to be entertaining or not? You'll find out what happens with the rose in the next chapter ;D
