KH: Knight of Iron (5/14)

Title: Knight of Iron
Author: Trilies
Genre : Romance, angst
Word length 214
Sypnosis Every princess needs a knight, even if they're both just fakes.
Rating PG
Yaoi/Yuri/Pairings: Xion/Lexaeus
Note: I FELT BAD, OK. XD Xion barely got any love at all in the months before 300+ days was released, and I did kind of vaguely liked her although that was probably because everyone else was ragging on her for barely no reason at all wtf guys . It was in those same un-released days that I wrote this, because I would guilt myself to death if I didn't. That said: THERE ARE NO SPOILERS, BECAUSE HA, I WAS GOING ON ASS HERE. I used that wrong, I just know it. 8D Anyway, no need to worry about any spoilers, because this is all wrong. I wrote it knowing jack-shit about Xion besides the fact that I had read somewhere that Axel had to keep bringing her back or something. I dunno.


Knight of Iron



"They're arguing again about who to send."

She doesn't answer, doesn't even acknowledge his (not-truly) existence.

"Axel will be likely sent again."

She only curls up more, tucked away in the little corner of Traverse Town that she's made it to.

"Xion, the burns from last time still haven't properly healed."

"...That was just an accident. He didn't mean to do that."

"I know."

"Roxas says he's having weird dreams lately."

"Are you having dreams as well?"

"No... Things just come to me... Lexaeus?"

"Yes?"

"I don't know who I really am."

What can he say to that?

"Am I really some one? Or even a no one?"

"...I'll help you find out."

"Really? You'll be my knight, then?"

"Yes."

Carefully, as if she'll break with one wrong move, she uncurls and pulls herself out of the tiny little space she had crawled into. She reaches forward, and her small arms are held in a gentle giant's grip as he helps pull her out. His massive arms can hold her easily and she wraps her arms around his neck.

"Promise me."

"I promise."

"Even when you leave for Oblivion, you'll still be my knight?"

"Even when I leave for Oblivion."

"No matter what?"

"No matter what."

She accepts his promise, even as something deep down warns her when she gently kisses his temple and rests her head in the crook of his neck.

Two months pass
and she never
sees him
again.
