Prompt: Obsession - Xan's Choice - capri_chan .
One of the best things about Xigbar being completely fucking insane, Xaldin decided, was that it drew attention away from the fact that the rest of them were just as crazy, in their own special way.
Some more so than others, of course. Xaldin knew that he was among the maddest of them all, but there were a few of the others that even he thought twice about intentionally pissing off. Xigbar went without saying. Anyone who could manipulate fucking space was someone you didn’t want to fight with. Xaldin had once seen Xigbar manipulate space in such a way that he could displace someone’s internal organs - all of them - into a slab of concrete. After that, the whole “taste for human flesh” had been a minor detail. A footnote in the report of why Xigbar was a monster.
The report was actually a real thing. Being a Nobody was a lot like being at war, Xaldin often thought. There were brief periods of absolute chaos between which stretched periods of incredible fucking boredom. All of them had ways to relieve the boredom. One of the ways Xaldin liked best was analyzing his associates and then grading them.
It was almost an obsession now. He would think of it constantly as he interacted with all of them, nodding and speaking but inwardly comparing stats and rankings in his head.
Marluxia ranked particularly high. As did Demyx. And then they - and many others - both fell to this funny little upstart, this brown-haired kid who didn’t seem to realize that he was outmatched in every way by all of them. And each time he struck another one down, Xaldin watched and smiled, calculating numbers in his head for the sake of his little game.
