The next morning, Zexion woke to the sound of someone tapping on his door. He sat up and looked across the room to his mirror. He had bedhead. Zexion sighed. " How long was I asleep?" He looked at the door and the tapping became harder. "Coming! Just one second..." The silver-haired man reached for his cloak. He almost jumped out of his skin when the door slammed open. "AHH!!!"
"Good morning Zexy-chan!!!" Larxene sounded chipper. Too chipper... the woman's electric blue eyes sparkled and Zexion could sense her smell... the distinct scent of electricity. The Lightning Bolt was beaming, and she had flour smeared on one cheek. "I made you breakfast!" She set a tray down on his bed and grinned again. Zexion realized she was wearing a green apron, and looked so out of character he could have SWORN she was a fangirl in disguise.
"Uhh... thanks Larxene. Why did you do that? It's not my birthday for another two months..." Zexion counted on his fingers. Sometimes he forgot his own birthday, or at least the day everyone else had DECIDED to call his birthday. " I think, at least."
"I don't know, but I got back from that mission last night, and decided to treat my friends!!!" Larxene's blond hair, slicked back as usual had flour in it too. Zexion took this opportunity to look at the tray. Pancakes, eggs, and orange, a glass of juice, and a rose in a vase.
"Wow... I didn't know you could cook." He looked at the tray again, but he couldn't smell any poison in the food. If Larxene wasn't trying to kill him, she must really have wanted to do something spontaneously nice for her friends. "Did you make it for everyone or am I just that special?" Zexion smiled and sat cross-legged on the bed with the tray in front of him.
"So?" Larxene cocked her head to the side. "Are you going to try it?" She was obviously giddy. "I've never really used this recipe before. Axel, Marluxia, Vexen, Saix, Xaldin, Luxord, and Xigbar liked them. Xemnas was still asleep, and Lexaeus is still on his mission. Demyx LOVED them and Roxas looked ecstatic. Come on! What do you think?!?"
Zexion looked up at her, his fork still hanging out of his mouth. "These are GREAT Larxene! What did you put in them? Wow!" Zexion tasted ginger, but couldn't identify anything else. "I've never tasted anything like this before!" He looked back at the plate and dug into the pancakes. "Wow! Normally I would refuse to eat pancakes, but these are just... wow!"
"I'm glad you like them! I thought I used too much vanilla, though... oh well. If you like them, I'll make them again!" Larxene beamed.
Zexion looked at her and realized with a start, she had had to make enough pancakes and eggs to feed 9 men (Lexaeus is gone, Xemnas is asleep) "How long have you been up??? It must have taken you forever to make that much!!!" He looked at her, amazed.
"Oh, I'm fast!" Larxene shot like a bullet around his bed in milliseconds, papers and clothes whooshing up around the room. " Superfast! I made one batch and then shot to the room! It took no time!" she smiled sincerely, as if she was prepared for this question. "Okay! Wow, you're done already? You must have been hungry, Zexion! Do you want more?" Larxene picked up the tray.
"Not right now, I might come bother you for some more later, though." Zexion smiled at Larxene as she approached the door. "Thank you! That was really good!"
"Thanks Zexion!" Larxene smiled and then walked out the door. "Here we go!" The blonde-haired girl shot like a speeding bullet down the hall before Zexion could blink.
"Damn." Zexion raised his eyebrows. "She is fast!"
Sorry this chapter is so short!!! I'm really tired, so I'm turning in early tonight. There'll be more soon, believe it!!! Thank you to all the people who commented, and I know. This one had NOTHING to do with the main plot of the story, but I was thinking about pancakes and Larxene cooking earlier, so this happened.
I'll be back soon! Don't worry. I WILL write more! I promise!!!
