Rating; R
Characters; Marluxia, Misumi Toshiya
Summary; Marluxia is... invaded.
Log;



His blackened eyes scaled the building, sparsely taking in the details, the fire exits, ladders and the balconies, things not immediately relevant to but a few. A rasping caught cleared his throat as he concluded the inspection. Apartment Two. Simple. "Well... time." Toshiya crouched and scooped up a handful of wet dirt in his fist.

He pushed through the doors, the coat he typically wore replaced by a moderately priced looking, stolen jacket. On his trek through the hall Toshi passed denizens whom averted their eyes and in doing so fed his notions of self-importance.

With a casual whistle he lifted the hand clenching the dirt as grains trickling through his fingers. He applied it to the spy hole of Marluxia's door and rapped on the surface with his knuckle. "Hey, ya've got a package!!"

You don't say.

From experience, Marluxia has learned that receiving a package in this city is nothing short of a death wish. Which is why, when he heard the call from the door, he was more than a little hesitant to answer. He continued in his current activity -- putting together a salad for a late night dinner -- for a few more minutes before he decided to throw all caution to the wind and head for his door. After all, what are the chances of Axel pulling the same exact prank on him twice?

It's a short walk from the kitchen to the apartment entrance, but due to that reluctance on his part, Marluxia managed to make the stride longer than it should've been. As soon as he arrived, he looked through the spyhole to make sure that it wasn't indeed Axel. However, there seemed to have been...dirt obstructing the view. That made him a bit more suspicious: he's always so meticulous when it comes to his apartment, and he wasn't sure whether or not he should tack down the aforementioned Nobody as the type to take such a measure to conceal his identity.

Which is exactly what Axel would want him to think.

He reached for the doorknob and hastily pulled the door open.

There wasn't much that took Marluxia by surprise. Having some random idiot wielding a gun show up at his door? Wasn't one of them, even if said gun was pressed against his forehead. He frowned in mild agitation as he stepped back to create room enough to distance himself from the advancing stranger.

"'Guest'?" he echoed in colorless tones. "Are guests not supposed to be invited?"

Marluxia regarded the man in feigned interest. He wasn't much to look at, he had to admit. But he knew him to be one of the citizens that he had the misfortune to --

Before he could think further, his accursed mouth opened for yet another insincere proposition. "You know, that outfit would look great as a crumpled heap next to my bed."

"I'm not serious," he said in a voice that was both controlled and patronizing at the same time. "..and trust me, you're likely to be the last one in the City who I would ever sincerely proposition to."

Marluxia wasn't naive enough to think that the man would turn and leave with the revelation of that fact; however, he gave him a look that almost dared him to test his patience by staying. He lifted a hand and made a move to brush the barrel of the weapon away from his face.
