And so, I start yet another story. But this is a one-shot, so no worries about late updates! This is one of my favorite pairings. AkuRoku is kinda angsty for me just because I feel that Roxas could've been happy by Axel's side. But of course, he was kinda forced back into Sora and didn't have that chance. So this is basically what I picture what went through his head. Enjoy!

'Got it memorized?'

Yeah, I got it memorized. Your face, your hair those hands... Theres no way I could forget. Your eyes, I remember them so clearly. The way they shone on me as we laid in the bed. They looked like emeralds...

'The name's Axel. Got it memorized?'

Yes. That voice, so sweet, so deep, so loving and carefree. Every gasp, every pant, and every word that dripped out of that mouth, I got it memorized. Your markings, like teardrops running down your eyes. I have it memorized. The spikes of your hair, which surprisingly is so soft, I memorized.

'Roxas, don't go!'

The day I defected. When I fought Riku. When I lost. I memorized all that. And then, I forgot. I'm sorry. So sorry. I never meant to forget. They took the memories from me. How could I forget you? You, that fiery demon who'd stolen my heart. The only one I've shared a bed with. The one who held me as my nightmares haunted me.

'Don'tcha remember me?'

I do! Don't look so sad. That day you found me, my memories were still locked away! Forgive me. I was so weak, allowing them to lock you up. I should've gone with you. I should've trusted you! I'm such an idiot...

'I love you'

Three words. Three words that make me cry. Three words that make me so happy. I never got to tell you. But I can now. I love you. Axel, you getting this? I love you! Your heart, your spirit, your fire. I love them all. So Axel, before I join Sora and become a part of him again, I want you to know that you're the only thing running through my mind.

I love you.
