Uhg, I'm not sleeping well, guys. I went to Disneyland and didn't even stay for any longer than four hours. THAT is how tired I've been.

Not that any of that matters. Except that I think it may be having an effect on my writing…

So let's just get down to it. I'm too tired for a longwinded rant.

There's smut in this chapter. Yeah, that's a quick turn around for Luxord, but you know what? He loves her. He loves her and he always has and he's kinda weak willed if you hadn't noticed by now. Besides, they needed some form of closure before the end. Like, total closure. None of that half assed shit.

So they have teh sex and stuff and it is really short cause I didn't even feel like writing that kind of thing (but did anyway cause I realized this story has had close to zero legitimate sex scenes unlike other stories). So if you wanna skip, stop at "Yeah… I think I can handle that just fine." and pick back up at "Mmm, goodnight."

Man, I feel like this story pales in comparison to "Where Eagles Dare." But then again, I can't go and compare every story I write from here on to that one since I am uber biased toward it. And look at me, I ended up going on a long winded rant anyway. Sweet.

ENJOY!

Luxord sighed with discontent. It had been two full days since he and Larxene had actually spoken to each other. He wanted to be stubborn. He wanted her to come crawling to him and beg for attention, but he knew she wouldn't. Two stubborn souls didn't fit well together when their happiness was at stake.

He looked to the clock across the room. It was ten thirty at night. He should be asleep by now, but he wasn't. He was laying there, staring up at the canopy over his bed and thinking about Larxene in the room down the hall. Maybe she was laying in bed thinking about him too. Maybe she was crying because she knew she had messed up. Or maybe she as dead asleep and didn't even give him a single thought. At this revelation, Luxord jumped out of bed and stormed to the door. There was no way he was going to lay in bed a brood over her while she was sleeping peacefully in her own bed. He stomped down the hall and thrust her door open without knocking. "What are you doing?"

Larxene jumped as she heard the door open behind her. She turned around at Luxord's voice and blinked at him curiously. "Getting ready to write in my diary. Why are you barging in here unannounced?"

"I… I…" Luxord stammered. Damn. He was hoping she'd be sleeping. Then he could guilt her into making more of an effort to repair their relationship so he wouldn't have to. "I'm your husband. I shouldn't have to announce myself when I enter your room."

Larxene crossed her arms and cocked an eyebrow. "My husband, huh? That's awfully convenient for you when you need it to be. What about all the other times?"

"What other times?" Luxord placed his hands on his hips. "I'm your husband firstly and foremost. You're the one that makes it so damn difficult to act that way."

Larxene scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Did you just come here to berate me? Because if so, you'll pardon me while ignore you to write."

Luxord furrowed his brow and closed the distance between him and Larxene. "You and that damned diary. I didn't even take you as the kind of girl to keep a diary."

"Yes, well my mother thought it would be a good idea. I suppose she was right about something. At least it helps me keep my sanity." Larxene stepped over to the vanity where her diary sat. She opened it slowly and took up her pen.

Luxord took a seat on the bed and watched Larxene curiously. "What are you going to write about?"

Larxene paused in thought. "Well, about everything I suppose. The occurrence with S. M. Laurent, Demyx's ridiculous plan, you…"

"Me?" Luxord stood slowly and stepped over to Larxene. "You still write about me?"

Larxene nodded slowly. "All the time."

Luxord placed a hand on his wife's shoulder gently. "M-may I read?"

"No!" Larxene snapped her diary shut and clutched it to her chest. "A woman's thoughts are private! I've told you before, you can't see!"

"Alright, fine." Luxord chuckled softly. "Then don't write about me when I'm around."

Larxene growled. "Well you're in my room so why don't you leave?"

Luxord caressed Larxene's arms and leaned down to press his mouth against her ear. "Do you really want me to?"

"No." Larxene turned to look at Luxord. "You know I don't but if you're going to be making fun of me then I think it best you not be here."

"I wasn't making fun." Luxord tugged Larxene to stand and pushed her diary aside. "Look, don't you think its time we talked? I mean, really talked about what we're going to do?"

Larxene blinked up at Luxord in confusion. "What do you mean? What is there to talk about?"

"Well, I mean… Demyx's plan. You think he's got a shot at being successful, otherwise you'd try to talk him out of it. And with that Laurent man being a fed, well, the odds are stacked in Demyx's favor." Luxord averted his gaze from his wife. "There's a lot of money in that safe down there. It could really go a long way for the two of you."

"Wh-what are you saying?" Larxene shook her head. "I told you, I don't love Demyx! I wouldn't have even considered going along with his ludicrous plan if I knew there was a chance that you might forgive me. And yes, I know it'll take time. I know that I hurt you and for the stupidest reasons. But, Luxord, you can be a part of this plan. Or even better, to hell with Demyx! We'll steal the money ourselves and disappear!"

Luxord laughed and shook his head. "Dear, don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not! I'm being entirely serious. Think about it. That money can get us a long way. It could get us to London, it could get us anywhere! Just you and me. To hell with everyone else! We can go somewhere amazing! Paris! The mother of New Orleans! We can live our lives there and forget everything else." Larxene nodded eagerly at Luxord. "It sounds ideal, doesn't it?"

"It…" Luxord looked down at Larxene's eyes, bright and full of hope. He couldn't help but smile. "It sounds lovely dear. But…"

"But nothing. We'll do it!" Larxene threw her arms around Luxord's shoulders in excitement.

Luxord was taken back when Larxene embraced him. Here she was, acting like nothing had happened. She should be apologizing. She should be groveling. But she wasn't and Luxord was strangely okay with that. He smiled and wrapped his arms around her gently. "You'll love Paris, dear. Of everywhere I've been, it is simply the most beautiful."

Larxene smiled into the crook of Luxord's neck and closed her eyes. "Everything will be perfect." She pulled back slowly and looked up at him. "And I'll prove to you that I can be a good wife. I'll cook you breakfast and…"

Luxord chuckled loudly. "That's quite alright. I don't think you need to threaten me. I already agreed to go."

Larxene gasped and pushed off of Luxord. "You ass! Don't make jokes! I'm being serious!"

"I know, I know. I'm sorry." Luxord laughed softly and pulled Larxene back against him. "You don't have to prove anything to me. I know you're a good wife."

"I just want to show you that I love you." Larxene looked up at Luxord sheepishly. "I've messed up, and the last thing I want is for you to think I don't love you."

Luxord put his hand to Larxene's face and forced her to keep his gaze. "I know that you love me. I should have never questioned that." He looked down at her, tears already swimming in her eyes. He was hesitant to just lean in and kiss her. After all, he was still hurting. But he wanted more than anything to just move on from this stupid mess and be happy. He sucked in a deep breath before bringing his lips to meet hers. He kissed her sweetly and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Larxene was shocked when Luxord took the initiative to kiss her. She certainly didn't expect him to want to kiss her, let alone be civil to her for quite some time. Yet here he was kissing her with so much care. She let her hands find their way up to his face to cup it as she returned his kiss with more passion.

Luxord pulled his mouth from Larxene's slowly. "I love you, Larxene." He turned her around and began unbuttoning the dress she wore, pressing his lips against her neck and shoulders as he peeled her clothing off. "I'm going to make love to you, and after that I'm going to hold you and fall asleep with you in my arms. And when I wake up, that's right where I want you to be. Can you handle that?"

"Yeah… I think I can handle that just fine." Larxene smiled and stepped toward the bed. She felt Luxord pull her into his arms as he gently eased her back onto the bed. In a matter of seconds he was above her, probing her carefully despite both their eagerness to just get down to business. She had to admit though, the foreplay felt nice. It brought chills to her whole body as he caressed slowly inside of her. Then suddenly he stopped, but his fingers were quickly replaced by the length of him forcing through her walls. She gasped loudly and clung to him. "G-good Lord, that feels amazing."

Luxord laughed and nuzzled her neck. "Its only been four days, dear. You act like a lifetime has passed."

"It felt like a lifetime." Larxene rolled her hips in time with Luxord's and smiled happily. But every night from now on… I expect this kind of attention."

"Oh, don't you worry. I fully intend to keep you satisfied." Luxord cradled Larxene's head in his palm, forcing her neck to be exposed. He kissed her feverishly and grinned. "I expect the same of you."

"You don't have to tell me twice." Larxene wrapped her legs around Luxord and pulled him closer. The feeling of him thrusting slowly but powerfully inside of her brought wave after wave of pleasure. She let out tiny moans when he hit special spots inside her that made her feel hot and cold at the same time. She could feel her orgasm building as he continued to plunge deeper inside of her. "I love you Luxord…"

"I love you too." Luxord entwined his fingers in Larxene's hair and kissed her deeply. He felt that distinct pulsation within Larxene that meant she'd reached her climax. He groaned as she raked her nails down his back and brought him even closer to his own climax. "I… I want you on top like last time."

"Alright." Larxene pushed Luxord to roll on his back and kept herself with him. She brought her hips down forcefully over his and began to grind down. She felt his length quiver inside her and his face was flushed red. And then the familiar pump of his seed filled her walls and she knew she'd brought him to orgasm as well. She kissed his lips with a smile laid down beside him. "Mmm, goodnight."

Luxord gasped for breath and rolled onto his side. He draped his arm over Larxene and pulled her against his chest. Everything…

Everything would be better now…
