"You can never love me."

It was what I remembered her say. Now she was gone. Disappeared into specks of darkness. It was all I could think about when she faded away.

"You can never love me."

I knew we didn't have hearts, shit, we all knew. We could still feel though. We could remember old feelings, before we died. She made me feel like I had a heart.

But, she left me. Letting her guard down, letting her ego overtake her mind. How could she be so stupid? Sadistic little ant. She left me. Who was I supposed to annoy now?

I guess Demyx was an option, but it wouldn't be the same.

"You can never love me."

Looking at Roxas' somebody, Sora, I knew I was fading. He was worried about my death. I was already dead though. Didn't really matter in my opinion. Still, I guess I would feel guilty for kidnapping Kairi if I could.

"My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one." I told him before I vanished.

The vision went black, then white. Where was I?

"Oh, look what the cat dragged in." Was it really her voice? I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a room. Looking out the window next to me I realized I was in Twilight town. Was I dead?

Ant smiled at me and my eyebrow raised. The first time I had ever seen a genuine smile from her. It was beautiful. Great, now I was sounding like love struck puppy. I shot out of the bed, startling her.

Hand on my chest, I let out a crazy noise of disbelief and uncharacteristic joy. A heartbeat. I was supposed to be dead! Not here with her, with a heart... A heart to feel.

"Larxene."

She grinned and tucked her blonde hair behind her ear. "It's Arlene. I guess we got a second chance." I grinned, and looked at the mirror in the corner of what I assumed was her room. I looked pretty much the same.

I stuck my hand out. She crossed her arms and raised a brow. "Ale. Got it memorized?"

She shook my hand. "Arlene. Sucks to meet you." I liked the feeling of my heart pumping hard in my chest. It was my heart. She sat next to me and rested her head on my shoulder. I turned my head toward her and brought her face close to mine.

"Now I can love you."
