7. Looking Upward

Xemnas/Saix fic from long ago in an InsaneJournal community far, far away(KinkFest).

Xemnas usually observes others from a higher place, almost like a higher plane of existence. He feels nothing, but he thinks of everything, and finds that even the faintest hint of emotion is unnecessary. With Saix, he looks up, and up, and up. Number seven stands in front of the heart-shaped moon, a black contrast to the yellowish light. His back is turned, but Xemnas knows that Saix is aware of everything around him. Neither of them speak. They have no need to.

Sometimes Xemnas watches from straight ahead. Saix fighting anything and anyone who gets in his way, Saix closing his eyes in hopes of a Lunar vision, Saix bathing beneath the moon, in the thin pale light. Even when they do speak, Xemnas finds himself looking upward or straight ahead, but never down, except during meetings, and he doesn’t count those.

He doesn’t want to help watching because he likes the long blue hair, the scarred but regal face, and above all, Xemnas likes power in human form. When he sees Axel shrink in Saix’s presence, he smirks, feeling like he has a Heart. When his runs his hands through lucky seven’s blue hair, he merely notes the contrast with his black gloves. When Saix is inside of him, his golden eyes looking downward, Xemnas feels whole once more.
