Declaimer: "I do not own Kingdom Hearts…"
Kiome-Yasha: "First off, Happy Rokunami day everyone! For those who don't know, Rokunami day is a holiday planned for us Namixas fans, which is on this lovely day known as March 28th; the day when Kingdom Hearts 1 came out. Considering Roxas and Namine were born through Sora on that faithful…stabbing day, the two were created into our fandom lives. So, in order to celebrate not only my love for the pairing, I have created a short three-shot for you all to celebrate as well to read ;D. I hope you enjoy it!"
Roxas
Love? What's that?
I remembered when I had first asked that question to Xaldin, becoming confused by the word as it rolled off his tongue, almost in disgust. From the way my old comrade had explained it, it seemed like love was nothing more than a weakness, something fake and unrequited for us Nobodies to have.
But, how would he know? He doesn't have a heart. In the end, it all just confused me.
Love is a power?
Was it? I couldn't be too sure. I mean, I already could hold the power of the keyblade without it; what else do I need love for?
I flashed the blade in my hand, becoming memorized by its personal shine of silver, letting the glitter around it dissipate before raising it close to my face.
What was so special about love that it could grant power? It didn't give me the keyblade, so why should it still be important?
Then again, why do I want to obtain that power so badly when I already had the keyblade? Great, I'm contradicting myself.
Love could be so frustrating…maybe Xaldin was right; I shouldn't dwell on this. It's giving me a headache.
Nobodies can't love?
That's right, we don't have hearts, so we can't love. It all seemed simple to understand, but somehow, I couldn't seem to accept the fact so easily. It personally haunted me, leading me to question more and more about it.
I gave a light chuckle.
I always seemed to question everything, but love, love was the first I really had an interest towards. It contained so many things, connected to many things…but how?
It's just one emotion? How could it link to others? I thought an emotion was built in one meaning, but no, not love.
It was something more, much more than I could ever dream in having. I wanted to know, I wanted to know more about it!
But…
Axel wouldn't give me a straight answer, he never could, none of them would…not even Xion. Who could I trust? When I can't even trust my friends?
Right…they're all basically Nobodies.
I guess they wouldn't know. Again, I laughed to myself; though it was an empty laugh, just like the love that didn't exist inside me.
I'm a Nobody…
But if I had a heart like Axel said, then maybe…. just maybe…
I sighed heavily, ending my thoughts there; I just didn't understand.
You mean, like, if they're best friends?
Wow, what an awkward question to say to someone who was my best friend and was a…guy. Not that I didn't…no…I don't think I loved Axel…. not like he explained it anyway.
Care…that's right; I cared about him, but nothing more.
Xion…? Yeah, there was that possible chance. Maybe I did love Xion…I mean, she is a girl right? So I should be able to love her? Right?
No, it wasn't like that either. She wasn't that…step…that 'step' that was beyond friends.
I mean… I cared about her deeply, but no…she wasn't...love.
Then who was?
Somehow, I couldn't help but to picture a girl with sunny bleach-blonde hair, and pure aquatic eyes after I had asked that question. It left me stunned, gazing up at Kingdom Hearts with great suspicion.
It was just toying with me…just like these memories.
So then…love is like a step above friendship?
It was; it had to be…when I look at you, when I'm with you; I just know it. You and I are something more, something together.
Namine…
Yeah, she and I finally met, after so long of being kept hidden from me in the shadows. She was always there, passed those walls…all alone.
And I never even knew!
She always wanted to meet me, it's what she said to me once; I was amazed by her words though. I mean, who would ever want to meet a Nobody…unless? She was just like me, someone lost and confused and didn't know exactly where she belonged. Sure, Xion had faced problems with herself, but at least she had friends at least! Namine didn't have anyone. She was just a tool used by Xemnas and that bastard Ansem. She suffered through so much, all alone…and I just knew, that all I wanted to do was to protect her.
She enchanted me, and I didn't even notice, bestowing that sweet sound of her voice.
Hello, Roxas…
I could never forget, how I met her. It almost felt like a dream, like it was impossible for someone like her to exist. I thought she was an angel! But when I found out she was a Nobody like me; I just couldn't believe it. And even though many have called her a witch, I didn't take truth in their words. She was something else, something more to me, something that caused my chest to hurt, but not in a painful way, like in a funny way…if that makes sense; all I could say was that it was a fluttery feeling.
It was an emotion far greater than wanting to care for a friend, far greater than the power that I wielded from Sora.
This thing that I'm feeling…it has to be…no doubt about it.
If I had a heart, you think I could love somebody?
I placed a hand over my chest, remembering the words to that question I had asked Axel so long ago. Sora's heart is mine; my existence is his, just as Namine was hers. If that's the case, is this feeling all just a coincidence? Maybe it was love…but what is it was someone else's love?
I shook my head, cringing from the thought. It just couldn't be; but even so…I have her…I have someone as my own to love.
And for a Nobody like me, that meant everything.
