AkuRoku Insight. I will (I promise) get to expanding Worth Protecting into something new. I want to make it a multi chap fic, expand the relationships, but until then, here is some Akuroku food for thought)
Description: Axel introspective. What does he want?
Larxene is a warrior. She's fierce, all bite no bark- pure power. Axel thought he wanted that for a while- a girl that can push. But when push comes to shove, he realizes he can't stand it. No, Larxene is meant for someone like Marluxia. Poor, disillusioned Marluxia, who needs warrior, especially after being marked a traitor by the Organization. Larxene, in all her ferocity- willpower, might- can save Marluxia. Can fight for him. So no, he doesn't want Larxene. He wants someone who he can protect, not someone who can protect him.
Demyx is the sun. There really isn't any other adjective to describe him- Demyx requires a verb because that is what he is. Always moving. Always bouncing. Always laughing. Demyx embodies life. Axel thought for a while Demyx was the one, but he was wrong. Demyx lives off making people happy- exactly what Zexion needs. Zexion and Demyx are polar opposites- literally, day and night. That's why they balance each other out so well. The ying and yang, they keep each other close by. Demyx can lighten up Zexion while Zexion keeps them grounded. Together, they are the ideal. But Axel does not want the ideal.
Sora is a hero. Not a warrior, or as nearly as bloodthirsty as Larxene, but a true hero. Hercules-esque, Sora has it all. The friends, the fame, the integrity. Sora is the emblem, and quite literaly, the light. The light that can pull Riku out of the darkness, not Axel. Axel does not deserve light, but Riku does. Riku needs to hear it - I love you, I need you- Riku desperately needs to hear these words. The emotions, because Riku is having a hard time pulling himself back together, even if he doesn't want to admit it.
Roxas... is just himself. A boy, nothing more, nothing less. Axel needs a boy. A no baggage kinda boy, or in this case, a no baggage Roxas. There is no one to save, no one to heal, no one to fight for. Its just Axel, and Roxas. Peace and quiet, balance and serenity, because he- the embodiment of fire- craves relaxation. And that, Axel thinks, is why he needs Roxas the most of all.
