I think I'm sick

Roxas shifted uncomfortably under the redhead's stare as he listened to bits of his conversation. If he was going to say it, why not now?

Because, to put it bluntly, for the first time in his existence, the nobody was truly Scared. Scared of what was to come next; scared of the future. He inhaled sharply and swallowed. Do it, idiot. You can do this. You can- "Axel? W-we've gotta talk." The man cocked his head to the side, wondering what was on the blonde's mind, not even caring he'd been cut short. I knew he wasn't listening.

He smiled warmly at the kid anyway and shifted his weight to one leg, leaning onto a nearby counter, "what's up Roxy?"

Roxas didn't dare look at him. He couldn't. Not with what he was about to tell him. I'd break his, well, heart. Not that nobodies had one.

He swallowed again and gave a few meager false starts before actually speaking, "Um…" he paused, finding his courage slowly diminishing, "You remember what happened a few nights ago when we both got smashed? Well…"Axel first looked a bit confused, but then as if a light coming on his smile broke immediately. Roxas' face fell and he stared at his feet, "I-uh…Afterwards I went to the doctor and I got some tests done…" He felt like he was going to explode, "and… Axel, the doctor said I have HIV…I'm so sorry…" he was crying now, his shoulders shaking slightly. Axel seemed unfazed. Almost as if in shock. HIV? Where-? Who-? His frown deepened as a memory recalled to him. How had he forgotten to tell Roxas? Maybe because he was so shitfaced… No. That wasn't an excuse. He'd given Roxas HIV. He'd given his best friend, the one he loved and cherished with all his being, the kiss of death.

He sighed as he touched the kids shoulder and felt his skin crawl beneath his glove. This was his fault but his mind was blank. How stupid was he?

"No…" he finally mustered after another moment or two, "I should be the one saying sorry, Roxas. I-…I gave it to you. I forgot and we were so drunk and I just…I'm so sorry Roxas…"

Now they were both crying and Roxas peered up at the redhead once more, tears slowly streaming down his cheeks. It was easy to blame someone, just say, 'okay, it is your fault' but Roxas couldn't find it in himself to. Axel meant too much to him. In fact, he smiled a little and found his voice as he brought himself towards Axel into a hug,

"…I-if it means I'll spend my life with you, then its fine… As long as I'm with you, I can defeat anything… I love you, Axel…" And then time stopped, forever freezing the two in their hug. Then Sora came in and screwed everyone over, also unknowingly receiving the disease and passing it on to poor defenseless Riku.

THE END. :3
