People like to assume Zexion favours black, that of the darkness, the perfect cloak. He finds their answer amusing. Black is too simple – achromatic nothingness.
He touches the shimmering blue strands covering his right eye. No, blue is more appropriate. How many shades of darkened blue exist? Navy, indigo, ultramarine, tints even without a name. If naming colour would betray him, then black would do just that. No one can guess the glimmer of his strings as they wrap around his victim's heart.
Stare deep into the darkness and you will see the untitled blue; there, does he find perfection.

KHL: Kingdom Hearts Literatures
And so it begins. This was the first one I wrote (I didn't start with Riku, whut?), because I often underappreciate Zexion and my fangirl luff of him. If you do not know who Zexion is, I pity you terribly. People consider him cowardly. I call it clever manipulation. Mincing words? Probably. After playing CoM a second time, I finally saw just how dark and complex this character can be. I tried to reflect so in this drabble.

 are you sure black is simple?
-- Huh......really? But I'm scared!......yep?Isn't it's great? ...... ...... That isn't good...... Maybe a aqua is a flame or a magma......cheh, what the! Not a one will do this......are you serious?......this gonna easy...... Yup. It's just black. There's no variance. It's either black or it's not.

Today I found a mineral called Kyanite (was looking up mineral names >_>  which I guess originated from "Cyan" but it's supposed to be dark blue. I just thought it was a cool name, heh. 0.0
 I like that name. I honestly couldn't think of a colour that matced Zexion, which is what triggered me to realize he wouldn't make that knowledge known, even if it did have a name. He's an awesome character. -- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] black is black, blue is blue, white is white, red is red, yellow is yellow......
aren't there are all the same? -- Huh......really? But I'm scared!......yep?Isn't it's great? ...... ...... That isn't good...... Maybe a aqua is a flame or a magma......cheh, what the! Not a one will do this......are you serious?......this gonna easy...... Yes, but, how many kinds of blue are there? How many reds or yellows? Black can only be black, but blue can be dark, light, medium and dozens of tints in-between.
-- Wandering the rain soaked nights. Searching for a storm to wash away these blood-stained tears "If you are an Unknown, you must have a variable in your name." [Kat] "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" [Stephen King] Yep, this cause me like black.
-- Huh......really? But I'm scared!......yep?Isn't it's great? ...... ...... That isn't good...... Maybe a aqua is a flame or a magma......cheh, what the! Not a one will do this......are you serious?......this gonna easy......  That's rather cool. I also believe Zexion's favourite colour wouldn't be something as generic as black. I like how you've taken what we all know about the character and expanded on it giving him a much more interesting personality...
 -- "It's better to be thought a fool in silence that to open your mouth and confirm idiocy." Zack Cloud Thank you very much. When I started out, I realized that I didn't want to use black for the Organization XIII members unless I was making a drabble about the group itself. I wanted to express their individual personalities.
I thought about black for Zexion, because of the Cloaked Schemer thing, but I realized that black is a shade with no "real" deception to it, unless applied to the darkness. Sure, you can have onyx, obsidian etc. but they're usually just fancier names (usually for objects with the shade of black). The "cloaked" part made me think that Zexion wouldn't want to be discovered, since he does his work behind the scenes, so black wouldn't be the best choice. But, enough of my rambling. Thanks for the review; I'm glad you liked my interpretation  -- Wandering the rain soaked nights.
