LalaHachi: This is a song fic based on 'The winner takes it all' by ABBA.
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
"Axel… Please, I don't want to talk about it…" I say and look away.
"Roxas…" He starts.
"Axel, It's over, it's been for a while now. I don't want to talk about it…" I mutter as I sit down on my couch. Why can't he understand? I lost…
"But maybe it'll help if we talk about it…" He says.
"I have nothing more to say to you Axel… It's over." I say coldly.
There's nothing else I can do. It's for the best. He has Marluxia now. Even though I love him I can't do anything about it. The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's his destiny
"Roxas…" He starts."Axel, honey! Are you coming?" Marluxia calls from outside.
"Roxas…" He says and looks at me than at the door as if he doesn't know what to do.
"Go to your boyfriend Axel…" I say.
"But, Roxas…"
"Axel, why are you taking so long? I thought you were just going to pick up your stuff?" Marluxia calls from outside again.
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
"Look, Axel. We used to have a great relationship but now it's over. Now, leave."
The tears rolled down my face as Axel started gathering up his stuff. I used to be so happy. I used to be safe in his arms. I used to. Not now.
I remember the first I woke up in your arms, Axel. I felt so safe. I remember when you took my virginity. I felt like I could trust you more then anyone. I remember when you moved in with me. I had felt like I finally had found a home I wanted to stay in. I wish you could remember too.
"If you ever need to talk to someone, I'm here, Roxy…""I know, Axel." I mutter. But I lost, Axel. Marluxia won and I lost. That's how it is. And I can't do anything about that.
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain?
"Roxas… I'm sorry if I hurt you…"
"No, it's okay." Marluxia won, what can I do about it? I have no right to complain."Anyway, I guess this is goodbye… Bye Roxy!" He say. He left the room and went to the car waiting for him.
He threw his stuff inside and looked up to my window. Our eyes met for a second before I looked away. I could see him looking away in disappointment. I looked back to see the car driving away. "Goodbye, Axel…" I whisper, mostly to myself. The apartment was bigger then ever and it kind of frightened me. All alone.
But tell me does he kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The next week, I am out smoking outside a shop, where I just bought a packet of cigarettes, and suddenly…
"Roxas! Nice to see you!" Axel greet me and smile.
"Hello Axel…" I mumble. "Where's Marluxia?" I ask coldly.
"He decided to stay home…" Axel say and smile. He takes out a cigarette and lights it.
"Axel… Do you love him?" I ask suddenly, for no reason what so ever.
"… Yes, Roxas. I do." He answers and sighs.
"Does it feel different when he kisses you then when I?" I ask, holding in my tears as good as I can.
"Roxas…" He says and reaches out a hand for me but I jerk away.
"I miss you Axel, but there's nothing I can do about it. You have Marluxia now. I shouldn't even talk to you. It's against the rules." I mumble and start walking away, the tears leaves my eyes without permission.
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
"Roxas…" Axel says and grabs my arm. "Roxas, I didn't know you felt like this… I love you Roxas… I was just waiting for a sign to show that you loved me…" He says and kisses me. It's true, Axel never was that clever. I should've told him before. I think as I stand there in his arms, letting him attack my lips for what seemed like an eternity.
"Axel, I love you…" I say as we finally pull apart.
"Do you want me to come home?" He asks and wipe away my tears.
"Yes, please." I say and smile at him.
"Then I will… And this time I will never leave…" He say and smile. It was probably meant as a joke-ish threat.
"You promise?" I ask and smile at him.
"I promise…" He says and leans down to kiss me one more time.
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
A day later, Axel is moving back in.
"But… Axel…" Marluxia says and looks furiously at me.
"Sorry, 'Marly' but I won, biatch!" I say and smile teasingly.
Both Axel and Marluxia looks at me confused. "Won what?"
"Oh nothing!" I hurry up to say. No need to tell them the whole story.I don't wanna talkIf it makes you feel sadAnd I understandYou've come to shake my hand
"I guess you 'won' to put it your way." Marluxia said. "I wish you good luck, but I will be back." He states and reaches out his hand for me to take.
"Yeah, and when you do, I'll be ready to fight!" I say and take his hand. Shaking it lightly.
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all......
LalaHachi: Not the most original idea but... Well, I like the song... I have a longer with a similiar plot called 'I know' if anyone's interested....
