Promise In the Setting Sun
Chapter 1
Axel sat on their usual turf eating sea salt ice cream when Roxas showed up after a long, hard mission.
"You're late" Axel teased
"Just came back from a mission" Roxas stated
"Where did they send you?" Axel asked
"Agrabah" Roxas replied as he sat down and took a bite from his sea salt ice cream "I'm not sure but some vendor that I helped from some group of heartless gave me something… I'm not sure what it is"
"Really now …so…what is this thing that was given to you?" Axel demanded, eager to know what his friend had received from his quest
"This" Roxas said as he took this 'something' out of his coat to reveal a star shaped fruit in his hand
"Whoa!" Axel yelled in surprise as he saw that star-shaped fruit in Roxas' hand "Roxas, do you have any idea what that is?!"
"No…what is this thing anyway? Is it bad?" Roxas asked, confused at Axel's reaction towards the thing in his hand
"It's a Paopu Fruit" Axel explained "Legend states that if someone whom you care about eats it with that person, their destiny will be intertwined… anyway, that thing is extremely rare"
"Maybe our destinies have already been intertwined before we knew it" Roxas said as he took a bite from his sea salt ice cream "That's why the thing fell into our hands"
"Maybe so" Axel stated as he thought about it for a while.
"You want to eat this, Axel?" Roxas asked
"Sure" Axel replied "Our destinies might have been arranged for us before we have met"
Roxas then cut opened the fruit and gave the other half to Axel, saying
"Can we still remain friends no matter what?"
"Of course, Roxas" Axel replied "What makes you think of the matter?"
"Well… recently I have been having these strange dreams of a boy I never met before" Roxas said "I think I have met him but I don't think I really did and there are these unanswered questions, Axel… I might leave to find out why… why did the keyblade choose me as its wielder…and what is my connection to this boy…so I am asking this if will we still be friends even after leaving the Organization?"
"Like we have said, Roxas, our destinies have already been joined regardless of which and of course, we are still friends Roxas" Axel said "You're the only one who has made me feel… like I have a heart on my own…what do they say about that…to be human? Nevertheless, I'm just glad I got to meet you, you know?"
"Maybe so…" Roxas said as he took a bite from his Paopu fruit and watching Axel do the same. "Hopefully, our destinies will be joined"
"They will, definitely" Axel said as they both finished their piece of fruit as they watched the setting sun.
Author's Note: Still rough around the edges but that will have to do for now… I'll possibly make it a two-shot but that depends on my time. It's a bit OOC… (sighs) but ah well… doing this at 3 in the morning makes my brain whirl like crazy. Anyway, schoolwork calls… so until next time!
