the cloaked SCHEMER

"You've completed your task well." Zexion said tonelessly. Complimenting someone was usually said with some emotion, he managed to get away without this emotion, though. Everyone knew he was a shining example of an emotionless Nobody. Poor Zexy, only wants to be loved, right?
Silence was still uninterrupted, he didn't notice the broken glass being hidden away. He was pondering what he thought of Manic now. Riaxa probably wanted him to be in love with this particular housekeeper, she would do everything in her power to matchmake them. Ooh, scary. Not. He would like to think he had some control over her as her 'main boss'. Xigbar was Superior, but no one really cared since he was the most random Superior imaginable. Saix was treated as Xemnas' equal, it would've made more sense if he were to be Superior. Great, now he was wandering off of the subject the romantic life someone else wanted to decide for him. Maybe it was paranoia, the rank of those around them was always a heavy weight on his mind.
He ordered people around since he was higher ranking, though not necessarily stronger against most others. Either that, or they didn't give him enough credit for his illusions. "Hm..." finally, interrupting the silence with something similar to a fake cough, "Soon I should call Riaxa back. What time is it?" he asked Manic patiently. There were these times when he didn't have any patience what-so-ever, and others when he seemed as if he had endless patience. More than likely he would still get fed up with those of lower intelligence when asking questions-- If this is a habit...

Riaxa smiled in amusement, "Oh, I see." she blushed again when he patted her on the head. She felt like a pet, how she would love to have a pet. Up until now she'd never been reminded this way, though. Such an innocent connection between situation and interest, yet it was best to keep quiet. None of the Organization members would be pleased if she were to act selfish, that would include requesting for something of her own. Zexion would insist she slapped Axel across the face for all of this if he were to see before, after, or during. That was any of it at all. Tilting her head to the side curiously, she'd never heard anyone say something like that. All of his behavior was very new to her since she came from a sheltered environment since she was recruited to be a housekeeper. She had nearly forgotten about fun, as much as she loved it when it was innocent. This was... Strange, it made her feel out of place, but she liked it. "Really?" she looked up at him with wide, childish purple eyes, "VI always says that snacks are the worst for your health." her brow furrowed, she looked so confused, "That doesn't apply to you, does it? confusion was easily becoming concern again. Laughing at his behavior, maybe laughing with him softly afterward. What kept nagging at her mind was how angry Zexion would be, he hated Axel. However, it was beginning to look different to her. While he used the most harsh of words, maybe the scariest, it may have been his way of speaking like a child throwing a tantrum, "I hate him. I hate him, sissy!" Even though she was younger by a year. He was really quite childish in his own way at times, come to think of it, all the Organization members were. Oh well, everyone had their ups and downs, they were much like children without guidance. Thinking of it this way, she couldn't bring herself to be mad at any of them for certain treatment of people, except for Larxene. They were arch enemies, she couldn't help it.
Becoming used to how he seemed show her affection often, she didn't blush this time. Knowing her hair was going to be messed up, and yet, she still continued to giggle in amusement. She could brush her hair later, the change from how little love was shown actually felt nice. 'Love' was either friendship or romance, she was thinking along the lines of friendship. "You have my sincerest apologies for mentioning-- oh." just then she noticed he didn't mean it, giving a nervous laugh. A small smile graced her features, she was able to amuse him in some other way than blushing and acting cute. Okay, she was always cute without meaning to be. She laughed, "True." used to fighting off blushes, she was able to keep down the one threatening to cast red over her cheeks. She had been flirting with Larxene earlier, it was for hypnosis to work more effectively with an intense emotion, but... That wasn't the matter. Now she was thinking about what her figure could actually be like, she herself was perfectly proportionate. The older girl was most likely a heck of a lot more shapely than she was, and-- She didn't want to think about it, why did she feel all strange? No one thinks of their enemies that way. she thought, disturbed by those thoughts for less than a moment. They didn't show in the slightest, she continued behaving normally. Oh, wait, the thoughts could be the reason why she was still clinging to him as if he were her lifeline. Zexion would throw such a tantrum about this, he wouldn't want the girl working in the kitchen to be with Axel... This is actually really romantic. She realized. Forbidden romance was the best, but it usually didn't turn out too well. Still, she wanted to enjoy being in his company, not to take any of this for granted. Blushing so red it looked as if she could faint any moment now, only replying when her blush faded to pink, "If you say so, then I'll believe you... Because..." uncertain if she really wanted to agree, "We're friends." smiling warmly, though her blush hadn't completely faded, "Anyways," she got flustered on the inside at how easily he was able to call her 'cute,' "thank you. No one's ever really complimented my appearance before." finding they had reached the door of the kitchen, she mumbled, "I would advise you to let go of me now, VI won't be pleased seeing us this way." trembling slightly as she removed her arms from around him resolutely. Only to cling again with a whisper of, "I don't know how I can face this, please let go first..."
They say dreams last for so long, even after you're gone...
Blah, this might be a lot like doomsday.
