A/N: If I owned Kingdom Hearts, then there would be no hints of Rion in there, and an overflow of AkuShi. But there isn't. *Pouts*
Just a quick little AkuShi drabble that I typed in two hours, since this pairing needs more love. I don't like it, but meh.
This is somewhat dedicated to Jcthegirl, Timber Wolf of Purity and Destiny's Call for being such awesome girls! You all rock, and they have much better AkuShi stuff than me! :3
Happy Halloween, and hope you enjoy! :D

:Different:
Axel wonders what it is that makes Xion different from Roxas. They are both from the same person; and that very person will doom them to their fate, but there's just something about Xion that makes her unique from Roxas.
Xion's laugh seems to be that bit more real than Roxas', as if she really is laughing at a funny joke. And her laughter is infectious in his ears; once he hears it, it refuses to go out of his head.
Or maybe it might be the way that she's so fascinated with seashells. The way that she would happily inspect them for hours on end, with only unnerving silence to gift her with any signs of life. She told him that they sound like the waves on the Destiny Islands, but the memories of lapping waves is distant in his foggy mind.
The many days that he's been in the Organization blur in his head (just how can Roxas count them with ease?), but the day when he and Xion attempted to bake cakes will always remain in his mind. Flour poured all over the floor, they both laughed laughter that sounded so real as they laid in the flour, cake remains splattered on the walls with pink and sky-blue splotches of icing.
Needless to say, Xaldin wasn't happy when he found the two Nobodies covered in glitter and icing later on, giggling madly on the floor. It was safe to say that Axel had eaten too much sugar.
He's not sure if it's only because when she's sad, she actually looks sad. Looks like she really will burst into tears at any second, and it takes everything that Axel has within him to not hug her and comfort the petite female, and stroke her raven-black locks and tell her that everything will be alright, that he'll never let anyone hurt her.
It might be the way that everyone else seems to loath her mere presence, which is a lot since none of them can 'feel' loathing towards anyone. Apparently. But that warm feeling that settles into his chest whenever he sees her happy screams that Xemnas had gone and messed something up yet again.
He always does. It's nothing new.
But when he saw her lie unconscious in her delicate bed, chest steadily rising up and down as she slept in her deep sleep, a foreign... feeling?- of fear settled into him, and his throat suddenly clenched up on him when he saw her looking so weak. And the worst thing was that he couldn't help her.
He still remembers her terrifying screams echoing in the halls, as he laid on his bed wide awake, too many thoughts swirling madly in his head to allow him the bliss release of rest.
Above all, he still remembers her wide grin that was plastered on her face and refused to leave as the stars began to twinkle brightly in the normally-twilit skies of Twilight Town. Her expression of amazement as she stared at the hearts in awe and joy, as he watched her cerulean eyes twinkle with joy and happiness will always remain in his memories for as long as he can grip them tightly.
Somehow, they seemed to shine even brighter than the stars themselves, and they were so much more beautiful.
He doesn't know what makes her different from him, but Axel honestly doesn't mind.
