My first attempt at writing a Kingdom Hearts fic. I'm completely in love with Roxas, and I just had to make my first KH fic about him.

As the memory pod opened, I held my breath in anxiety.

It felt like forever until each petal-wall descended, revealing the dormant form of my other half.

His face looked so serene, as if he hadn't been put to a year-long sleep after a chain of chaotic events I didn't know the first clue about. I let my keyblade disappear as I got a bit closer.

For a moment, my eyes were completely fixated on him. I knew that after this, I wouldn't be able to have my own body anymore, but that meant that I could become whole. I should be happy, right? Happy that I'm going to be able to feel, and to live-as soon as I join with him.

But I wasn't happy. To tell the truth, I was upset. It felt wrong to join with Sora. The one thing I've always wanted in my life, was to belong. I realized this after leaving the Organization. I didn't belong there. So, I wanted to find out exactly where I did.

I didn't belong in Twilight Town either. I became a ghost. Someone no one can see or remember. Just a shell of emptiness. Fitting for a Nobody, huh?

But now, since I have nowhere else to go, I guess it really doesn't matter where I belong or not. But it still doesn't change the fact that I'm upset about this.

…

Okay, so maybe I'm not that upset about joining with Sora. After all, what other choice do I have? I know he's not a bad guy, so I'll be satisfied being with him.

If that's the case, then why does it feel like I'm leaving something behind? There's nothing left for-

Oh.

That's right. My identity.

I won't be Roxas anymore. Or maybe I will be, but I'll just be forgotten.

…Great, now I know that I'll be losing my identity by doing this. This is what happens when I try to make myself feel better.

So, now what?

I can't just stand here forever staring at a sleeping body. I have to make my move. Joining with Sora will benefit so much-not just for me and him, but for many.

The worlds need their hero back. And it wasn't me.

I belong with Sora. Whether I like it or not.

With that thought in mind, I made my decision.

Carefully holding onto the sides of two petal walls, I hoisted myself up so that I was standing only inches away from Sora. The pod reacted, immediately closing up. I turned to have a final look at the world, as Roxas, before I was swallowed up by darkness. The only thing I could see was Sora, still fast asleep.

Wasn't something supposed to happen by now?

But everything stayed silent. And dark. I was beginning to get worried. What if I was stuck like this? In darkness, with only a sleeping other as my companion.

Trying to inspect my dark surroundings, I turned to see someone in a black cloak. The Organization! Were they causing this?

But then the figure removed their hood, and there was…a girl? I stared again, dumbfounded by the familiarity of this person. Who was she?

Her blue eyes met mine, and she smiled.

I slowly smiled back, but I didn't know why.

Suddenly, the darkness filled with light. My body began to glow, as well as Sora's. I floated closer to him and felt warmth fill my chest. I finally knew what I had to do.

I closed my eyes, and felt several tears go down my face, but they weren't sad ones this time.

I touched his chest, where his heart was, and light completely swallowed us.

This was where I belonged.
