Chapter One ~ Sightings
Axel sat atop Twilight Town's Clock Tower with a dripping ice-cream in his hands. The sun was setting and the crimson rays illuminated the town below. The town was silent and all that could be heard were the echoes of the drops hitting the pavement below. He sighed, watching the ice-cream he and his best friend used to so fondly return to after a day of hard work. It made Axel think; the ice-cream reminded him of his old friend in so many ways. The cerulean blue shade reminded him of the big, pretty, eager eyes which would always watch with intense curiosity, and the dripping reminded him of the fact that from the very first day of knowing said friend, he was forever slipping away. It reminded him of the time when XIII finally turned around and told him how he was leaving, almost as if he was being punished for having too much of a good thing. Then it was silent. No more dripping. Axel held the damp stick in his hand, left with only memories. The "Winner" inscribed on the wood made him think of how lucky he was to know a guy like- ....?
What was his name?
Axel threw the stick to the floor, guiltily hanging his head in his hands.
How could I forget...someone like him?
The sunset was a deep burgundy now, and as Axel looked ahead, he chuckled half-heartedly at the conversation he'd once had.
"Bet you don't know why the sun sets red. You see, light is made up of lots of colors. And out of all those colors, red is the one that travels the farthest" He'd grinned.
"Like I asked! Know-it-all." His beloved blonde had chuckled.
That day was when everything had changed. How he missed the mindless chat they'd had together, the time that seemed to slip away with ease. He made everything so much easier; and now he was gone. The days now dragged on endlessly, and everyday Axel would still sit atop Twilight Town's Clock Tower, waiting anxiously for a miracle to walk around the corner and sit beside him. It had been months now, not like he was counting. Nothing seemed worth returning to, no fresh-faced teenager waiting happily for him, to talk about how the day's missions had gone. Axel's head throbbed painfully and his chest ached with renewed heartbreak. Enough was enough. As the red-head gripped the edge, ready to pull himself up, he noticed a familiar cloaked figure walking into a dark portal. Axel froze in shock and realisation as a blond haired Organization member vanished before him.
Was that-?! Is he back??
Axel summoned a portal back to headquarters, eager to ask his Superiors and co-workers if they had seen him. Some unexplainable warmth ebbed from his chest, radiating into his body. The hope Axel felt as he walked into the portal almost seemed to shroud him, clouding his thoughts. The excitement of how they would re-unite once again had him smiling. He would never let him go, never again. As Axel re-appeared into the Grey Room, he marched straight up to Saix with an unfathomable expression plastered upon his face.
"Well, is he back?!" He urged Saix impatiently.
"Is who back?" The blunette questioned calmly.
"The guy... the one who left?!" Axel whined, before lookoing at the exprsseion on Saix's face. "Never mind" He said, turning around and storming away. Axel decided that Demyx would know! Demyx was a great friend of his, surely he'd have seen him! As he walked down the hallway, he came across VIII's room. He knocked, and waited. Demyx opened the door, hair akimbo. Axel noticed he was blushing, and smirked at the fact that Xigbar was trying profusely to hide himself in the background. Knowing he had failed, Xigbar stood up, shirtless, and waved at Axel, before turning to dress himself. Axel focused his attention back to Demyx, grinning.
"Uh...sorry for interrupting Dem, I was just gonna ask if you'd seen that guy that left the Organization?" He scratched his head.
"The one you said you 'got memorized'? Demyx chuckled as Axel winced at his famous catchphrase. "Uh- no sorry man, not seen him around"
Axel felt his heart ache painfully. "Kay, never mind. Thanks man, and um- sorry again" He waved, before stalking down the hall to his own room. The reached the door, walked inside, slammed it shut and slid down it with his head in his hands.
Damn it! Why is this happening to me?!
Axel walked over to his comfy bed, in hope some sleep would cure it. He could tell this was gonna be a long night.
