Life and Times of Organization XIII

Marluxia skipped as he wandered around the World that Never Was. Life was beautiful and warm in the city, and he'd just gotten the perfect thing for Demyx. It was a CD--pirated, of course. There was nothing too evil for an Organization member to give to his true love. Yes, Marluxia was in love with Demyx. That was nothing, though.

Xemnas and Saix were in love, even if they wouldn't admit it, and Roxas and Axel were secret lovers. Of course, these pairings only existed in Marluxia's mind. Still, he it made him happy to think that not everyone was fauning all over Larxene.

"What gave you that idea?" he asked, hiding his present behind his back. "I was uh... I was going to go bother Saix! Yeah, that's it!" He tried to smile innocently, but it didn't work. "Aw, who am I kidding? You wouldn't understand my love for Demyx! You have Roxas!"

That's when Marluxia skipped into the room. "Demy!" he said grinning. He'd ditched Larxene while she was frying the rat. "I got somethin' for you!" He pulled out the CD. "It's rock with a suitar in it!" Marluxia hoped he would like it.

"You could hang out with me!" Marluxia called after him. Dejected, he had a seat. Demyx was so mean, ignoring him like that. Did Demyx like Roxas more?

"Axel's gonna be mad when he finds out Demyx is trying to steal his boyfriend," Marluxia muttered. He'd also make sure Axel knew, too. Brightly, he ran off to tell Axel.

"Let's tell Axel about this injustice! We can't allow Demyx to steal his beloved Roxas!" Once again, he was deluding himself about Roxas and Axel's relationship.

"Besides, I was the one who planted that flower in front of the castle."

"Axel! AXEL!!!!" Marluxia cried, running up to Axel. He took a few deep breaths, but didn't let Axel ask what was wrong.

"Demyx is with Roxas!" he said. He was speaking almost too fast to understand. "They're together! All alone! In a deserted city where they can get away with all sorts of miscelanious things!" He was hoping that Axel would get mad enough to take his boyfriend back so that Marluxia could once again have Demyx to himself.

Marluxia blinked, then pulled a notebook from his pocket. "But that means all my pairings are wrong!" he said. "You're with Roxas, Saix is with Xemnas, Xigbar's with Zexion, Xaldin's with Namine... This ruins everything!"

He grabbed Axel's arm. "You're sure you don't like Roxas? Not even a little bit? A teensy-weensy bit?"

This bothered Marluxia. "I still say they're together," he said matter-of-factly. "What do you think, Larxene? Axel and Roxas sleepin' together, ya think? I mean, their rooms ARE next to each other." He was positive Axel and Roxas were a couple. He couldn't be wrong.

"You mean that Seme Riku?" Marluxia asked. He flipped through his notes. "According to my observations, Riku is madly in love with Sora, but the stuipd Uke is too, well, stupid to realize it." He shut his book and nodded, as if his pairings made sense.

He completely missed Larxene's attempt at flirting. "Pretty!" he squeeled when he saw the flower. "But you can't do much with it," he said blankly. He held out his hand, where a yellow rose bloomed instantly. He tied it in Larxene's hair and smiled. "There! Much better." He nodded and went off to find Demyx. He wasn't about to give up on him yet.

"There you are, Demy!" Marluxia called, glomping Demyx. "I see you haven't found Roxas yet. Wanna hang out with me?" He didn't want to hear no. If Demyx turned him down, he'd probably kill himself. ...Or that scary venus fly trap in his room.

Yeah, he'd kill the venus fly-trap. That would be less painful than killing himself. He'd just sulk for a while somewhere.
