Ch. 4

"You have to admit, you look really pretty, Zex."

"Shut your mouth of you want to keep your only eye left, Xigbar."

Zexion, Xemnas, Xigbar, and Xaldin strode down one of the many long white corridors of the castle in their show outfits. The men (except Zexion and Lexaeus, for obvious reasons) wore black leotards with dark orange shorts and black pointe shoes. On the seat of the shorts was each dancer's name and rank number.

"Why do we have to wear such small shorts…?" Xemnas asked nobody in particular, "I feel so exposed, like my balls are going to fall out."

"I bet they will, they're popping out right now," Xaldin laughed.

"…Why are you looking there, Xaldin?" Xemnas asked nervously.

"Urk…no reason!" No. III answered quickly.

Xigbar and Zexion exchanged knowing glanced that seemed to say 'they like each other' louder than a crowd at a Cannibal Corpse rock concert. The group approached the top steps of Twilight's View when a Sniper Nobody accidentally fired off a shot at the new arrivals, causing the four members to jump in surprise. Zexion lost his footing on the top step and tumbled down the stairs one by one until he hit the last landing head first.

"ZEXION!"

Xigbar ran quickly down the steps to his fallen comrade, Xemnas and Xaldin closely following.

"Damnit, my ankle, it hurts…!" Zexion whined, clutching his swollen left joint.

"I'll get Vexen," Xemnas said, getting up and running back up the stairs.

"I'll come too!" Xaldin called after his Superior and ran after him.

"Don't rape him, Xaldin!" Xigbar yelled jokingly, "He's delicate!"

::In the infirmary, 20 minutes later::

The Original Six and Saïx(1) stood around a bed where Zexion lay, his left ankle in a cast.

"Great," Saïx said in false annoyance, "now you can't dance and now we can't laugh at you."

"Gee, Saïx, I can just feel your concern radiating from your kind words," Zexion said sarcastically.

"Well, we could always make Xemnas replace you," Vexen suggested, measuring out some pain killers, "He's graceful, and he knows the moves."

"Okay, he's the replacement," Saïx announced, "now where is he?"

"Last time I checked he was with…Xaldin." Lexaeus answered slowly.

The group turned towards a small broom closet, where disturbing noises were heard. Xigbar strode towards the door and bravely swung it open, revealing Xemnas pressed against the back wall, his legs wrapped around Xaldin's waist, kissing the lancer passionately(1).

"Yo! Superior! You're taking Zexion's place as the girl!" Xigbar yelled.

That made them stop.

"Huh? Huh?!" Xemnas stuttered, still wrapped around Xaldin.

"And Xally's your partner!" Xigbar added, laughing a little.

"Yay! Wait, huh?! What!?"

"Go get your weave, Xemmers!"

"Wait! NO!!!"

1. This was the most awkward part of this whole damn story to write, since this is about as romantic as I can get XD
