The 14th Key ~ Chapter 9

Yay! Chapter 9! :D It's a good one! :D

~Chapter 9~

After walking in, Xed walked off downstairs to continue her work on the weapons. Axel and Demyx appeared through a Corridor of Darkness soon after. Axel walked up to Roxas, smiling.
“So, you two have fun?” he asked. Roxas nodded.
“Yeah.” He said, smiling. Demyx smiled.
“Does she like you?” he asked. Roxas shrugged.
“I don’t know…” he said.

But I hope she does… Roxas thought. He smiled.

“Is tomorrow Friday?” he asked. Axel thought a moment.
“Uhhh…yeah, I think so. Why?” he asked. Roxas smiled deviously.
“I have an idea for tomorrow.” He replied. The three Nobodies formed a circle, and Roxas filled them in on his idea…
+++
That night, Roxas had let everyone else in the Castle (except for Xemnas and Saix, who refused to have a part in it) in on the plan. He even convinced Larxene to help as well (and that was something).

Everything was coming together…

+++
Roxas lightly tapped on the Weapons Workshop door. It was morning, 11:09 a.m., and he wanted to ask Xed something. After getting no answer, he knocked again.

Nothing.

Roxas opened the door slowly and looked inside.

Xed was sitting at her desk, her arms crossed on the desk and her head resting on her arms. Roxas walked in.
“Xed?” he said softly. She didn’t move. He walked closer to her.
“Xed?” he said again, louder this time. He was about to yell her name when he realized that her shoulders were moving up and down in a steady rhythm. He could hear her soft, even breathing. Roxas chuckled softly.

She was sleeping.

Roxas couldn’t help but look at her.

She was…really pretty…

He liked how part of her hair was in her face. How her eyes were closed softly. How she slept with a small smile on her face.

Roxas smiled, and felt something he hadn’t really felt before.

Was it…?

Roxas shook himself out of his thoughts.

Naw… he thought. That’s impossible for a Nobody!

He walked up to Xed and shook her shoulder gently.
“Xed?” he said softly. “Xed, wake up!” Xed opened her eyes slowly, and looked up at Roxas. She smiled and sat up with her elbows on her desk.
“Oh, good morning, Roxas.” She said sleepily, but sweetly. Roxas smiled again.
"I was wondering..." Roxas said. "Would you want to hang out with me today?" Xed thought a moment.
“Um, I’m not sure. I still have part of Lexaeus’ weapon to finish, and I still have—“
“Please?” Roxas pleaded. Xed looked up at him. Roxas made a pathetic puppy-dog face. She laughed at him.
“Fine.” She said, standing up. Roxas smiled.
“Great!” he said, grabbing her wrist and pulling her gently out of the room. Xed followed without a choice.
+++
Demyx waiting for him down the hall.

Where’s Roxas? He thought. Just then, Roxas came walking out of the room with Xed at a quick pace. Roxas smiled at him and winked. Demyx nodded.
“So where are you two going?” he asked.
“I’m not sure.” Xed said, trying to keep up with Roxas. “Roxas said he wanted to spend the day with me, so I am.” Demyx nodded.
“Have fun!” he said. Roxas looked at him.

‘Get everything ready’, he mouthed. Demyx smiled.

‘I will.’ He mouthed back, before running off. Roxas instantly opened a portal, and Xed stepped in after him. Roxas smiled.

Everything was going perfectly…
+++
Roxas and Xed went to Twilight Town again. They sat on the Station Tower, eating Sea-Salt ice cream that Xed paid for this time (she insisted). Roxas nibbled on his ice cream, trying to find something to say.
“So…” he said. Xed looked over at him. “Who’s your favorite music singer or band?” Roxas kicked himself again in his mind.

ANOTHER stupid question…

Xed chuckled softly.
“Well, I happen to like Jessie McCartney.” She said, licking her ice cream. Roxas cocked his head.
“Why?” he asked. He knew who he was, and wondered why she liked him. He wasn’t so great. Xed thought for a moment.
“I don’t really like his singing, but I love the way his voice sounds. It’s so nice.” She said. Roxas frowned to himself.

His voice was a thousand times better than Jessie McCartney’s.

He was sure of that.
+++
Sometime later, around 8:00 p.m., Roxas took Xed back to the Castle. They spent the day at Twilight Town, Hollow Bastion, and Traverse Town. Both were tired, but they enjoyed each other’s company. They had talked a lot, about their wants, their fears, and everything else. Roxas found himself glancing over at Xed from time to time. And sometimes, he’d have the feeling like he was being watched.
They started walking up to the door. Xed turned towards Roxas.
“Today was reall— “
But before she could finish, Roxas dashed off towards the door to the Castle.
“Roxas!” Xed called, confused. But Roxas opened the door and ran in, leaving it wide open. Xed cocked her head and ran after him into the Castle.
+++
She stepped inside and closed the door behind her. All of the lights were turned out and, quite frankly, the Castle was sort of creepy. Xed looked around.
“Roxas?” she called into the darkness. She heard feet shuffling in the kitchen. Xed chuckled softly, nervously.
“Roxas, if you’re trying to scare me, I’m gonna kill you.” She said, walking into the kitchen. As she walked closer to the room, she could see a few small, bright lights.

…Were they candles?

As soon as she walked into the room, something clicked behind her and the lights came on.

“SURPRISE!!!”

Xed was shocked and surprised, stumbling back a little. She looked to see all of the Organization members (except for Saix and Xemnas) standing in front of the kitchen table. Xaldin, in the middle of them all, was holing a small sized light-blue frosted cake, with 15 brightly burning candles sticking on the top. Xed felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Roxas behind her, smiling wide.

“Happy birthday, Xed.”

Xed was shocked. She had never been used to celebrating her birthday, so she had forgotten it was today. She turned back around to everyone standing in front of the table. Everyone was smiling (except for Larxene, but, what do you expect?).
“Happy birthday to you…” Xigbar started to sing.

“Happy birthday to you…” Everyone sang.

“Happy birthday dear Xed…”

Xed smiled, slightly embarrassed, but mostly touched.

“Happy birthday to you!!!”

Roxas smiled at Xed, his had still on her shoulder.
“Well, you gonna blow out your candles?” he asked. Xed stepped forward, still smiling, up to the cake. She leaned over it and blew gently, extinguishing the fire of the candles. Everyone clapped happily.
“Presents!!!” Marluxia shouted. A box was passed through the crowd of Nobodies and placed in Xed’s hands. It was of medium sized, messily wrapped in black and white wrapping paper, a white bow placed far from the center.
“I wrapped it myself!” Demyx said proudly, smiling.
“We can tell…” Luxord said, rolling his eyes. Everyone laughed, and Demyx smirked angrily. Xed smiled.
“Are you going to open it?” Vexen said, smiling. Xed then started to tear the paper off of the box. She placed it on the table, and lifted the lid.

She gasped softly.

It was an Organization coat.

She pulled it out by the collar and held it out at arm’s length to examine it. She smiled.
“Wow…” she breathed. Zexion smiled.
“We thought you might like it.” He said. Xed was speechless.
“After all…” Lexaeus said.
“Ever since you’ve been here, you seem like part of the Organization…” Axel finished quietly. Xed smiled shyly.

That was…the nicest thing anyone had ever said to her.

“Thank you.” She said. Xaldin rolled his eyes and smiled.
“Don’t thank us, thank Roxas.” He said.
“Yeah, he thought of the whole thing.” Luxord said. Xed turned to look at Roxas, who was blushing insanely.
“Yeah…well…I…I…just thought…it’d…make you…happy…and…I—“ Roxas’ stuttering was stopped by a sudden hug from Xed. He looked at her. She smiled.
“Thank you, Roxas.” She said. Roxas, still surprised, placed his arms around her to embrace her hug. He smiled foolishly.
An annoyed cough from Larxene forced them to pull away from each other and blush.
“Okay, everyone’s happy, can we eat the cake now?” Larxene said. Axel nodded in agreement.
“Yea!” he said, as Xaldin brought out a knife to start cutting the cake. All of the Nobodies gathered around to get some cake, except for Roxas.

He had to still give her his present:

Him telling her how he felt about her.

Roxas grabbed Xed’s hand. She looked up at him.
“Can I talk to you alone for a minute?” he asked. She nodded, and he pulled her out of the kitchen unnoticed, and brought her downstairs towards the Workshop, where no one would hear him.
+++
They stood at the beginning of the hallway. Roxas looked at Xed. Just seeing her smiling at him made him blush.
“What is it, Roxas?” Xed asked. Roxas blushed more.

He loved the way she said his name.

Luckily it was dark downstairs, so she couldn’t see him blushing. He took a breath.
“Xed, I wanted to tell you that I—“

CRASH!!!

Both of them looked up towards the Workshop, where the sound had come from.
“What was that?” Roxas asked. But Xed didn’t answer. She immediately ran down the hall and ran into the room. Roxas ran after her.
+++
The two examined the room. Nothing seemed to be wrong.
“You know,” Roxas started, “maybe we were just—“ But he was cut off by a gasp from Xed. She walked over to a shattered glass case on the floor.

The case that held her most powerful Keychains.

She began picking up the Keychains off of the floor. Roxas walked over to her.
“Are they all here? Any of them broken?” he asked. Xed shook her head.
“No, they’re all fine…” she trailed off. Roxas looked at her.
“Xed, what is it?” he asked, concerned. She looked up at him. Her eyes were wide, and full of terror.
“I’m missing one…” she said, barely a whisper, fear and sadness dripping from her words. Roxas cocked his head.
“Which one?” Xed took a breath.

“The one…that steals peoples hearts…”
