Organization XIII - It's a beautiful day!

Vexen was walking the halls. She had a sudden urge to find Marluxia. She had checked the kitchen and had had no luck in finding the child. Since she had last seen him go off with Axel, she decided to check the fire boy's room next.

Vexen walked to the door, her dream still fresh in her mind, and knocked. "Axel, hello? It's me, Vexen." She waited, hoping that the anxiety she was feeling was just a result of her over-worrying.

 

"Vexen? Oh come in!" Axel said, he was a bit too busy with Marluxia to open his door. He rocked the small child carefully back and forth as he waited for Vexen to come in.

 

Vexen walked into the room to see Axel on the floor with Demyx at his side and Marluxia in his arms. "I was looking for that little one." Vexen smiled, her worries quelled for a moment. The woman kneeled next to the trio. "Thank you so much for taking him with you to the market and watching over him." She said this, giving Demyx a very grateful look, knowing that he did not like children.

Vexen turned her attention to the child. "Hey, Marly. How are you feeling?" She caressed the little guy's pink hair softly.

 

Marluxia opened his eyes weakly and turned to see Vexen. Once his vision cleared up, he jumped put of Axel's arms and into hers. "VEXXY!!! Nya!!"

 

"Oh. It's alright sweetheart." Vexen hugged the child lovingly. "Is everything alright? Did you have fun with Axel and Demyx?"

 

Marluxia clinged on the woman tightly. He was happy to be with her. His time in Axel's room was horrible until he rocked him to sleep. "Vexxy... nya..." He pointed to the red head and said, "Papa..."

 

"Papa?" Vexen looked to Axel with an inquisitive look on her face. She chuckled. The young one seemed to have adopted her as his mother, and Axel as his father. I just hope that doesn't have to turn into anything...

"Why are you saying nya? What do you want to say to me?" The woman looked at the young child.

 

"All he can say is 'Nya', Don't know why." He pointed out to Vexen. "I tryed to give him some of the changing back candy, and he couldn't say anything was that."

 

Marluxia nuzzled under Vexen's chin. "Nya... Vexxy..". He started tearing up a bit and was very happy Vexen came.

 

"My flower.... is that all you can say? Why?" Vexen's worries came back. She hugged the child closely and kissed his forehead. "Did he say anything else?" The woman wanted to get to the problem once and for all. She wanted to fix it and have her normal Marluxia back so that they could live happily.

 

Demyx held the reverse candies in his hand. "You have to do this sometime, Marly. Better sooner than later." He said, in an intimidating way.

 

As much as Vexen feared what would happen if Marluxia grew back, she wanted him to eat the candy more than she wanted a heart. Please, take the candy and then we can sort through everything together.

 

Marluxia blew a raspberry at Demyx and hid his face into Vexen's arms. He really needed to think before he took drastic measures. Slowly but surely, he'll gain his vocabulary back, even if it killed him.

"N...nya...."

 

As much as it killed her, Vexen said, "You don't have to eat that now if you don't want to." She caressed the little flower. "Just hold on to me." She did not want to make him do something that he knew would hurt them all. She only hoped he knew what he was doing.

 

Axel sighed and shook his head. He suddenly remembered something and spoke up, "Oh right, Vexen." He took her credit card out of his pocket. "Here."

 

"Oh, thank you." Vexen took back the credit card. She had completely forgotten about it. "Did you guys buy much." The question was empty. She really didn't care to know what they had baught, but she was making conversation.

 

The caressed feeling Marluxia felt in his har was soothing. Vexen was like a godess to him. What the strange man told him in the hallways kept repeating in his mind. His vocabulary was missing. It probably had to do with the meeting with the strange man. He probably didn't want Vexen to be warned, but at the same time, worry about him being mute, so replaced every word imaginable with 'nya'. But then, why were a few words coming back to him?

Marluxia sucked his thumb a bit and tried to say something different. "Vexxy... n...n... your pwetty...n...nya..."

 

Vexen chukled. Atleast she wasn't worried enough to stop laughing. "Thank you, Marly." She was glad that the little flower could speak. "You spoke!" She hugged the boy.

 

"No we didn't buy much, I barely even bought anything with your card." Axel said. Then there was a bit of silence in the ir. "So ummm..."

 

Vexen realized that there was an awkward silence in the room. "Oh, I'm sorry. Are Marluxia and I imposing?" She wondered if the two love birds Axel and Demyx wanted to be alone. In truth, she wanted to be with other people. She was not sure if she could handle Marluxia on her own.
