"Die."
I could only stare at my attacker—no—my best friend as he twirled his weapons in sheer delight. His electric green eyes where practically glowing with excitement of the battle that was about to take place.
He seemed so ready; so sure. I couldn't seem to wrap my mind around why.
His pale lips twisted up into a demented smile; even in this dark ally way I could see the stunning beauty that was radiating off his slender form.
He said he had come to stop me from leaving, even if it meant he had to destroy the single thing that he loved. Apologetic words had been exchanged then—but the man who stood before me now…
I couldn't even be sure he was the same man that I had fallen in love with…
Breaking me from my thoughts, a single flaming chakram came flying by me, sticking into the building behind me. And I had known he had missed on purpose.
"Get ready, Roxas! Because I will show you nomercy!!"
His smirk widened and he lunged at me; my keyblades materializing in a defensive manner. With a 'clang', our weapons clashed against each other. My blue eyes stared into his green as he continued to push his weapon harder against mine.
And just for a moment, I thought I could see a faint flicker of the old Axel.
Roxas's eyes where brimming with unshed tears; his arms wrapped possessively around the tall redhead. He simply smiled as he pulled the younger blonde up onto his lap. He didn't struggle, rather, he took comfort in having the other teen close by.
"Don't worry, Roxas. Everything's going to be okay—No one is going to hurt you here. And if they try, I won't let them…Got it memorized?"
He lightly squeezed Roxas's shoulder; the younger blonde snuggling closer to Axel's chest. He felt safe there—and he believed his words completely.
He had kept the promise like he said. He had never let anyone hurt him. But.. .. What about, when the one who was trying to hurt me…was Axel himself?
" `C'mon Roxas! I know you can do more then just defend!" He paused for a moment; that thick grin on his face growing. "Oh, don't tell me you think I'm doing this just to bring you back! No way—Nu uh. Not anymore…This time, the fight's real. Because, Roxas, I want to see you bleed."
He thrusted his chakram forcefully back; it once again meeting with my Two Across. He grinned; a rivulet of flames traveling up around Two Across, and then across my arm that was holding it.
At first, I let them. His flames had never hurt me.
But then the reality of this seemed to finally kick in.
They Burned. Axel's flames had never burned me—Even when he was mad. .. But then again, he had never been directly mad at me.
I yelped; momentarily stumbling back as I stared at the second and third degree burns that where starting to show where the flames had touched my skin. I hissed from the pain and turned my gaze up to my lover.
…—No. Not my friend. Not my lover…
This person was nothing more then an attacker.
… And I was alone in the world.
And A Once Warm Heart, Slowly Froze To Ice
