Welcome to Gaia! ::

Axel nodded a little. "Rox...get him...in a hot shower..," Axel panted, lessenging his usage of power, but still staying warm enough not to get cold. He slumped down against the table once again, breathing heavily, legs getting weaker and shoulders slouching. Roxas nodded. "I'll...come help you in a minute..," he told the redhead who looked like he was about to pass out any moment. Axel nodded, too weak to refuse, and focused on keeping himself standing. Roxas then lifted Zexion into his arms again and stumbled through a portal. He brought him to the bathroom and sat him down on the lidded toilet. He then proceeded to undress him after turning on the hot shower. Once Zexion was stripped, he helped him into the shower, making sure he was sitting down so he didn't slip or pass out and fall. "I'll be right back," he told him softly, kissing his forehead while avoiding the water. Then he hurried into his bedroom from his bathroom and pulled on the warmest coat he could find before opening another portal and going back in, shivering at the bitter cold that was still lingering. He helped Axel through another portal he opened up which lead back to the redhead's room where Demyx was sound asleep. He helped him into the bathroom as well and made sure he didn't fall as he stripped. He turned on the hottest water he could get it on for Axel then helped him into the shower. Axel thanked him as he leaned against the shower wall. "Thanks, Rox... I'm good now... Go take care of that boyfriend of yours..," he said, small smirk of a smile on his lips. Roxas blushed slightly but smiled at him and nodded before disappearing. He reappeared in his bathroom again. He automatically took off his clothes and joined Zexion in the shower, pulling him up to stand. He leaned him against the wall then wrapped his arms around his naked, wet body, laying hishead on his shoulder. "I'm so glad I didn't lose you..," he said softly. "I...I almost lost myself...after thinking that I...I k-killed you..," he stuttered out. "I-If Axel and D-Demyx wouldn't have gotten me out of th-this place, I...I th-think I would have k-killed myself..," he admitted painfully. He held on to Zexion tightly, not wanting to let go.

Marluxia nodded and managed to maneuver enough, with Vexen's help, to stand up. "I-I'm g-g-going to h-have t-t-to s-sleep in y-your r-room t-ton-night-t..," he shivered out. His whole body was shaking terribly. He wasn't used to it being this cold. He felt like a daisy in winter.

Axel kept his smile as Roxas was leaving, but as soon as he was gone, he slumped against the wall more panting. He was getting dizzier and dizzier by the moment. He ended up sliding down the wall as he slowly blacked out, sliding sideways once his bum hit the floor to lean into the corner completely unconscious.

Roxas shook his head and held him tighter. "N-no...if you hadn't done it, you would have had to go through it, too... I-I'm just glad w-we're together now... I'm so glad I still have you...

Marluxia curled up beneath the sheets, looking up at Vexen. "I-I kn-know one th-thing th-th-that'll w-warm u-us-s up-p," he stuttered out, smiling up to him. He slowly moved his shakey arms from beneath the covers and reached out to him with both of them. "P-P-Pleas-se, D-D-Darl-ling-g..?" he pleaded, needing to be close to him.

Roxas smiled and hugged him tighter. "I love you, t-too, Zexy..," he told him before leaning up to him and kissing him firmly and deeply on the lips, arms winding around Zexion's neck.

Marluxia shivered a bit at touching Vexen. "N-No...because everytime I s-see you, m-my whole body starts to w-warm in h-hap-piness..," he whispered to him, holding him closer. "P-Plus...I-If we m-move around en-nough...m-maybe I-I'll warm u-up faster..," he suggested, pulling back a little to look into Vexen's eyes before kissing him gently.

Roxas pulled back from Zexion's lips a few moments later, laying against his chest. "I never want to let you go again..," he whispered softly.

Marluxia shivered and giggled at Vexen's words. "Maybe...Is that a yes?" he asked curiously, smile still on his lips. He smiled cutely up at Vexen despite his body trembling. "Because me and my body would really appreciate it..," he whispered to his lover.

Roxas nodded and hugged him for a moment longer before he got out of the shower and got them both towels. He wrapped one around Zexion first before covering himself. Then, noting that Zexions till looked a little weak, lifted him into his arms once again and carried him out to the bed, sitting him down on it. Then he dried himself off before drying Zexion off with his towel, standing there naked without cover as he took care of his boyfriend. He smiled at Zexion once he was completely dry. He got the towel from around Zexion's waist and threw them over into a clothes bin before instructing Zexion to lay down. Then he walked to the other side of the bed and slid in beside him, scooting close and pulling the blanket up over them. Then he wrapped his arms around Zexion, hugging him warmly. "I love you," he mumbled as they laid there naked in each others' arms, trusting that neither one of them would try anything.

Marluxia's smile widened before their lips connected. Then his trembling arms wound around Vexen's neck, pulling him closer. "Mm..," he hummed against his love's lips. His shaking fingers played with the strands of blond hair cascading down Vexen's back.

Marluxia couldn't stop the moan from escaping his lips when Vexen told him just how much he cared about Marluxia. Just knowing how much Vexen loved him always got him so hot. His body rolled against Vexen's slightly as he moaned. "Now show me how much you love me..," he said softly, body heating up even faster now. "I want you to...put all of your love...into me..," he breathed.

Saix sat up immediately at the sight of Xemnas. He then tensed up at the look on his face and immediately grabbed his shoulder with his hand, arm crossing over his chest where the scratch marks were. "Xemnas, is there something you need?" he asked in a quiet voice, eyes averting from his superior's.

"I'm sure you can find some more love to give me..," Marluxia breathed to him with a happy smile, running his fingers through Vexen's hair. "My love for you is undepleteable..," he whispered sweetly.

Saix just let his hand slip down his chest and fall into his lap, uncovering the markings. Then he let his head fall forward, forehead resting on Xemnas' stomach. And then he let the tears silently slip down his cheeks. It always shattered him when Xemnas spoke to him like that, and when he touched his hair... Oh, god, he knew how to just break the bluenette down to shambles. He just sat there for a while, silently letting his emotions out.
