UnstableInsanity 4 Posted August 22, 2011 This is a really short story about Axel and Roxas from Kingdom Hearts II and KH II F.M. It's told in Axel's perspective and I've used some of the dialogue from the games and the situation. Hope you enjoy! ^u^ _____________________________________________ The warm clock tower was cold today. A breeze of frigid air flew around us. The feeling of being above it all wasn’t enough the cover the foreboding that hung in the air. I stared hard into the sky ignoring the tense atmosphere, trying to avoid the situation. If I could just push it away from a little longer… but I really couldn’t. I turned toward the blonde haired boy next to me. "Finally woken up?" I found myself asking. "Axel!" For some reason that kid always brought a smile to my face. Even now Roxas was always the best remedy for that cold feeling, slowly creeping back... "Nope maybe you're going to sleep. Soon I won't even be able to talk to you like this," the words came before I could stop them. With that sharp edge I knew he would take as an accusation. "I..." Roxas said, and that cold feeling pushed forward as if it knew what was coming, "I'm going back to where I was," he finished. Moving to stare right at me. I turned. I couldn't even look at him. After all the time we had together, even when I knew it would end, I still let myself get attached. Let myself latch onto that feeling, that feeling that I had a heart. That way Roxas made me feel... And I couldn't even look at him when I knew what was coming. "Roxas," I had to know, and I had to ask, even if it made it all worse, "you have a heart, don't you?" The second I said it Roxas froze, and I could tell he'd been thinking about it too. So many things I hadn't told him, and now that was coming around to bite me. He turned to look at me. With those blue eyes that were so familiar and those memories of eating ice cream and laughing. Those false feelings that felt so good...so real. The clock tower, and the twilight sky blurred. I stared at his blue eyes, trying to concentrate, remember the infinity of moments we’d shared together. But before I could keep it together, it all dissipated into darkness. I opened my eyes. The familiar emptiness of Castle Oblivion surrounded me. That had been one of the last conversations I had with him. It wasn't even real; we hadn't even been at the clock tower, just a twisted reality in our heads. We’d never get to go together again. "How did this happen?" How?! Was it my fault...again? I got up and found an envelope next to me. With tentative hands I opened it, and inside was a popsicle stick. The word WINNER written on its side. "Roxas..." In my eyes the castle was empty. Xemnas's lapdog was the only one who might’ve understood, but that side of him was gone now. "ISA! ROXAS!"I yelled. No one yelled back. The names brought on all those memories, the clock tower, the fighting, my...OTHER life. And if it I could've felt anything, I’m sure it would've been sadness and pain. However that was even beyond me. All I felt were shadows, and emptiness. An absence of emotions. "Why?.." The Popsicle stick in my hand cracked in half and fell to the ground. I clenched my jaw. Why were they all so selfish and stupid?! Why did they only think of themselves?! What about everybody else, what about their friends?? "What about me?" I wouldn't let this happen. Not again. I couldn't. I lost Isa, I lost my whole LIFE, and I lost Xion. I wouldn't lose Roxas too. Things would be different this time. I had to try; even if it would kill me. No matter what. "I'll get you back Roxas, promise," I said. I stared at the heart in the sky and reached out. If only I could grasp it tight enough, maybe it would grant me all my wishes. "Make it like it was before,” I whispered. But everyone knows wishing on a star never works. 3 Hunter Hawk, replika13 and JesusFreak reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
