"I think we should run away together"
He looks at him, shocked, confounded. "What?"
"I think that you and me should run away together. What's there to get?"
The simple fact that his best friend had just suggested that they run away together was slightly hard to register in his blond head. Run away? Why would he want to run away?
"Why though?" At that simple question, his friends cat green eyes glinted in the sun and showed the blond that his friend had been thinking about this for a long time. Or was just really goddamn confident.
"Why not?!" Roxas sighed and shook his head. "Axel, I'm not running away with you,"
The red head's face splitting smile disappeared. His expression turned sad and he straightened his back more. It was as if he had a pole stuck on his back. "D'aw, you're no fun Rox,"
He sighed and gave his best friend a light punch in the shoulder, "Get over yourself Axel. You and me are planning to go to Seattle together, remember?"
Axel smiled again, except this one was less exuberant, and more like content-ness or something like that. When Roxas smiled back at him they laughed and ate their sea-salt ice cream on top of the tower.
There was silence as both boys ate ice cream, contemplating on what to say next. "I wish we could go to Seattle together," Axel's lips moved over the popsicle, mumbling what he said. Roxas heard and nodded, his smile a sad one. "Yeah, me too,"
They gave each other a look and smiled genuinely, "Hey Axel?"
The red head turned back to his fading best friend, "Yeah?' He tried not to panic at the way he could see the sunset through Roxas.
"You need to get over me, okay?" The red head frowned, his eyebrows knitting into a worried expression. "I don't want to Rox. I don't…"
Roxas gave a beautiful smile, and Axel could see through it, "I know, but you have to."
Axel shook his head rapidly, "Roxas… I can't get over you," The youth gripped his popsicle bar tightly; letting the beading drops fall downdowndown below them.
Roxas saw the look on his best friends face and let his fading hand connect with the others, "We'll meet again. In the next life,"
He looked back up and nodded. Roxas smiled and leaned in, leaving a cold kiss on his best friends' lips.
Axel ate his ice cream by himself, a little puddle of blue liquid beside him.
