The Gambler

Luxord was trying to see if there was away down from the balcony, again, but he was unable to see past theledge, he sighed as he shifted himself back away from the edge, hewas able to see using his power to cast the light of Kingdom Heartswhere he was looking. He picked up the sound of boots and hoped itwas someone or he was going insane when he saw the shorter man helooked confused and then amazed. "Xigbar?" He asked wanting tomake sure he was seeing his friend.
"Hey, Luxord..." Xigbarstarted only to be shocked by the larger man moving far too fast forhis body to keep up with at the moment. Luxord had used his powers toslow time around him so he could close the distance between him andXigbar only to push him into the wall. By the time Xigbar's mindcaught up the gambler's lips were moving over his. As soon as Luxordfelt the sniper respond he found and nipped his lower lip, almostbegging for more only for the sniper's mind to allow him in hismouth. Xigbar was caught up in just the feeling of the rough feelingof Luxord's facial hair and the skillful hands slowly moving theirway into his coat before he let out a heavy hiss of pain when thegambler lift him off the ground.
Luxord froze as he lookedwide-eyed at the sniper, he didn't move his hand from around his hipsor slid him back down to the ground. "Um..." He bites his lip ashe looked somewhere besides the two. "I was just going to hugyou..." He said as the sniper took a deep breath before teleportingover to sit on the balcony, he was staring off into the void belowhim as he spoke up. "Then what happened just now?" His tone wasalmost too calm for the gamblers liking. "Um..." Luxord turnedand looked at him, not able to see his face at the moment. "I'm notsure..." He started only to sigh as he thought about it. "Howlong have you been here?" Xigbar asked as he looked back over atthe other, a clam but worried look on his face, Luxord knew the facebut didn't let him know it as he touched his finger to his chin andlips, acting like he was thinking. "I would have to say almost...almost sixty years?" Xigbar looked horrified before sliding off theledge, scrunching his face as the rush of pain flared from themovement. "Are you hurt?" Luxord asked as he took a step closer."Yeah... figure it's from the last blow the kid gave me... but..."He started only to stagger and the gambler rushed to catch him, astrong scent of metal came from the sniper's coat, making him shiverbefore he tried to use his powers to rewind before it reopened butnothing happened. "What..." That was all Luxord could say beforefeeling a strange rush of movement flow over his whole being beforefeeling himself land on something soft. His mind recoiled at whatcould have caused it only to not be able to see anything butdarkness, as he came to terms with the fact he could barely make outthe shapes of his hand, he felt something move against him. He hopedit was Xigbar as he was holding him before the whole area seemed tochange, Luxord sighed as he used his powers to shift his vision backto when this room had some form of light. Luxord was a littleconfused as it took a lot longer than the balcony as if whatever roomthis was never used until a faint lamp popped on.

The room waslarge, the walls and flooring were a dark color and the cool light ofthe lamp only helped him see outlines of the objects in the room. Thelight was on a simple-looking desk surround by large bookcases aroundit and a small room off to the side but he could not see into it. Helooked down at the weight on his right side before seeing it was thesniper, he must have passed out and his mind found a soft place torest.
'Wait...' The Gambler thought as his mind figured out wherethey were. 'THIS is Xigbar's room?' He thought before slowly movinghimself out from under the sniper and off the large bed. Mostmembers' rooms were stark white with a simple single bed in it thathad the Organization's symbol on it and black sheets, even Xemnas hada single bed. Luxord sighed as he walked across the room to see ifthe door leads anywhere, it seemed to be a bathroom, he checked tosee if anything worked in it only to looked confused as the waterseemed to start pouring out of the tap. He jumped a little when heheard something slam into something in the main room, he looked outto see the sniper had somehow kicked his boot off and it had hitwhere the other door should be but it was just a solid blackwall.
Luxord saw Xigbar wrapped up in his coat before sighing, hehad seen the sniper like this a few times in the organization. "Youforget you're taller now..." He muttered unknowingly before gettingclose to him and carefully untangling him from the coat, Luxord thenundid the zipper and clasps before the sniper seemed to unwind hisarms out of the sleeves as he rolled himself on the other side of thebed, Xigbar let out a relaxed sigh as he was out of the constrictingcoat. Luxord tossed the coat off and slightly crawled onto the bedbefore lightly tugging on the sniper's shoulder. "You really don'tneed to let that drip..." He whispered as the sniper allowedhimself to be rolled over, Luxord didn't know that he was the onlyone to be able to not wake him up like this. Luxord got off the bedand grabbed the sniper's coat, he almost to the bathroom door when hefroze at the sound of Xigbar talking.
"Found you..." Xigbarmuttered, making Luxord quickly look at him only to see he was stillout cold and was talking in his sleep. Luxord shook his head as heheaded into the other room to try and clean the coat the best hecould. Luxord slowly got most of the metallic smell out of the coatand was heading back to the bedroom when he felt the whole room shakea little, he froze in mid-step as he looked around, though he did notknow what could have done that just yet. His eyes moved to the sniperand saw he was mostly covered by the soft black comforter, he shookhis head as his eyes traveled around the room only to notice a darkblue book with markings that was very familiar to him, it was likethe organization's symbol but was upside down and had more to it. Heeyed Xigbar as he moved to touch the book only to notice the pageswere black instead of white, he carefully opened the cover and sawancient writing within it that was shimmering gold. He paused asXigbar seemed to grumble about something, causing him to look back athim, a little worried he woke up but he had just rolled over on hisfront side again.
Luxord watched Xigbar for a while as his mindwent wild with what could be in the book only to looked back at himafter he started thinking it might be a journal. As his eyes scannedover the golden letters he mind recoiled as he read words he knew alltoo well. He thought it was one he wrote until a few pages in thingschanged drastically and it ended up being someone's retelling of eventsonly a few people would even know about nowadays. He only got a fewpages in until Xigbar's voice echoed around the room, causing Luxordto jump and looked over at the sniper.
