So far away...
Where are you, Roxas?
I need you. I have to have you here with me.
"Hey Axel." Zexion said as he sat beside him in the library. "Didn't know you knew where the library was."
"I do, but I don't like coming here, you know that Zexy. I just need to some alone time. Y'know, peace and quiet." Axel responded, just staring at the picture he had drawn. It was a picture of Roxas, laughing with his friends in the Twilight Town gang. Or the opposite Twilight Town; the one DiZ created...
"Oh. Wallowing in self-pity?" Zexion knew the answer before it was given. Cause he's just smart like that.
"Yup. I miss him... Alot." Axel's mind wandered off. He felt Zexion give him a pat on the shoulder and suddenly he felt a rush of cold air spreading through his body. He needed to see him. Not wanted, but needed. So Axel opened up a portal and left to the alternate Twilight Town.
Once he was there, he looked around. He spotted Roxas buying sea salt ice cream with Hayner, Pence, and Olette. Axel hid from view and watched from a distance. They sat down on a park bench and started joking and laughing and talking... Like friends should do. Like Roxas and Axel used to do.
Axel thought back to the time when he had bought Roxas sea-salt ice cream when he was sick as a dog. Roxas had thanked him--or was in mid-sentence of thanking him, since he ended up vomiting over the other side of the bed, and together they ate their ice cream. Axel missed the times when Roxas remembered.
Feeling bold and arrogant, Axel stepped forward and everything, everyone but Roxas and Axel, froze in place. Roxas looked a bit concerned for his friends; he waved his hand in their faces, saying their names and asking what happened. Axel walked up to him.
"It'll be over in a second. I just want to remember..." Axel muttered to him once he was right in front of Roxas. Roxas had jumped and turned around.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"An old friend." Axel said quietly. He raised his hand and placed his fingers delicately on Roxas's cheek. Roxas teared away. Axel disappeared and everything was mobile again. Roxas looked around before shrugging it off and getting up with his friends. Hayner put his arm around Roxas's shoulder and Axel looked over his shoulder at the group of friends. You could see the pain and hurt and sadness in his eyes. "Far away..." Axel thought to himself quietly. "You're so far away..."
"Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know."
"You can't turn on the Organization! Get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!"
"No one would miss me."
"That's not true! I would..." his last few words faded into the night, the sound of Roxas's footsteps being blocked out by the rain.
"He was the only one who made me feel like I had a heart."
Why does it hurt so much if we don't have hearts?
Is Demyx really right? Do we actually have hearts?
Oh what was he thinking, of course they didn't have hearts.
But then why does it hurt so much I just want to die?
Owari.
Something I came up with while I looked at the picture "Far Away" -akuroku- by BeBelial on deviantART. Made me sad and I decided to write about it.
