6:00 AM
That's what time the alarm clock on the bed side table read. The numbers blinked green over and over in a never ending cycle…until it was 6:01 AM…damn. Axel blinked a couple of times to make sure that he was actually awake. The neon green numbers stood out against the dimly lit room. Axel moved to get up, but quickly decided against this after feeling the chill of the early morning. Axel got back under the blankets to feel something warm and heavy practically lay on top of him. Axel looked to his side only to find a mass of soft blond hair in his face, not that he minded of course. Axel looked down at his lover, adoring how peaceful he seemed to be when he slept.
'He almost looks angelic.' Axel laughed inwardly at his thoughts. The majority of the time, Roxas was anything but angelic.
'But you still love him for everything he is and isn't you idiot.' Axel smiled down at Roxas while admiring his figure. The blankets had fallen so low on Roxas' waist that they barely covered up his important parts. Axel grinned widely, remembering the night before. Axel kissed Roxas on the forehead and pulled him closer, wrapping his long legs around Roxas' waist and resting his chin on top of the blond boys' head. Axel didn't know what he would do if he was separated from Roxas again. He was blessed to have another chance to be with his lover.
Flashback
Axel wandered through the darkness with no particular purpose. There wasn't any way for him to get out of the hell he was in, and he had no way to know what time or day it was. For all he knew, what felt like hours could have easily been a couple of minutes. Time always stood still in that god forsaken place. Axel ambled about aimlessly, never coming close to finding another Organization member. It wasn't until that one day that Axel even had the faintest glimmer of hope….the day he heard the voice.
'Axel!' The voice sounded demanding, yet fragile. The voice seemed to give a nuncupative request to follow and find it.
'God, I must be losing my mind.' Axel thought as he looked around frantically for the source of the ominous voice.
'It almost sounds like Roxy's voice…' Axel knew this was impossible, seeing as Roxas might as well be dead.
'But maybe…no, that's ridiculous. Why would my lovers' other half be looking for me?'
'Axel!!' The voice called out again. Axel tried to tell himself it was all in his head, but that voice managed to get on his nerves so badly that he started looking for it just to make it shut up. Axel remembered how eventually the voice faded away. When it disappeared he had cried out in agony. That was the only contact he had had with another person in what felt like centuries.
Axel continued to hear the voice in what he could only guess was the next day. It began coming back every day after that, but Axel never counted to see how long it had been since he had anticipated the beginning of his insanity. On one of these days, Axel felt as if the voice was suddenly getting louder. He felt anxiety bubble within him as he started to run towards the voice at full speed.
He stopped when he realized he was completely out of breath…and he could swear that the voice was right in his ear. Axel looked around in frenzied bewilderment when a hand suddenly reached out of the darkness and came towards him. Axel screamed and jumped back a couple of feet.
"What the fuck?!"
'Axel, come with me.'
"Who the hell are you and where are you planning on taking me?!" Axel screamed at the mysterious hand while getting the strong urge to burn it to ashes.
'You'll just have to trust me.' The voice interrupted Axel's typical pyromaniac thoughts.
"Why should I?!"
'Axel, please. Just trust me.' The hand gestured for him to follow.
Axel hesitated a moment before grabbing the hand. He remembered how he had been yanked roughly, followed by a bright light. Then he saw someone that he never expected to see again…Sora…
Axel was lying on a bed, staring right into those dark blue eyes that reminded him so much of Roxas.
"Sora?" Axel asked simply as he sat up and blinked a couple of times.
"Yeah…" Sora said smiling at him. God, it hurt to look at him. That gentle smile reminded him so much of Roxas that he had to look away for fear of crying.
"Where are we?" Axel asked as he looked around the room for the first time. The walls were white and contained a bed big enough for two people, a closet, a dresser, a bedside table, and a TV. There were no personal belongings in the room, indicating that no one occupied the plain space.
"Oh. Well you're currently in one of the guest bedrooms of the house that me, Riku, Leon, Cloud, Aerith, Yuffie, and Cid live in together! Oh and so does Roxas! But he hasn't talked much lately and-
"Wait! You mean you and Roxas are in separate bodies now!? Where is he!? I need to see him!!" Axel interrupted Sora's excited jabbering frantically.
"Whoa. Calm down. I'll explain everything if you give me a chance." Sora said as he threw his hands up in a defensive manner. Axel sat and thought for a moment. His first impulse was to start yelling at Sora and threaten to burn the entire house down if he didn't tell him where Roxas was. He quickly decided against this considering that Sora had brought him back from the realm of darkness and given his lover his own body. Axel decided that he was in an agreeable mood and turned to give Sora his full attention. Sora gave a sigh of relief as he continued with his earlier statement.
"Well right after we defeated Xemnas, I started to feel really bad about taking Roxas' free will. So I convinced Riku to come with me to Radiant Garden to talk to Merlin. I figured that there must have been some kind of spell or something that would separate us. When we got there he told us that he had heard about a stone that could do what we needed to do. He didn't have the book that said how to make the stone, so we had to look through the library in the castle. It took us a month just to find it, even with everyone helping us!! We spent another month making the stone and separated Roxas from my body successfully. For about a week he seemed content with just having his own body before he got all depressed and started missing you. After that we decided to try and find a book that could help us get into the dark realm. Riku can't move in the realm of darkness anymore because he no longer is the person he was when he was capable of doing so. But after about four months we found a potion that allowed us to see into the realm of darkness without really being in it and lets us take people out of there if we want to. Because of this we can stick a portion of our bodies in the darkness to help them out."
"So that's why your hand came out of nowhere and scared the crap out of me?" Axel said, interrupting Sora's long explanation.
"…yeah…sorry about that." Sora said as he scratched the back of his head and gave Axel that wide grin that was almost always present on his face. Sora's face suddenly lit up in realization. It was like he needed to tell Axel something else very important.
"I almost forgot to tell you the most important part. When we were reading about the potion to bring you back, we found out that when a Nobody is taken from the realm of darkness after their death they aren't…well…exactly the same as they were before…" Sora trailed off as if he didn't know how to state the point he had to make
"Meaning?" Axel asked looking at the questioned brunette.
Sora suddenly flicked a pocket knife out of his pocket and pricked Axels finger. "You're human now."
Axel looked at his finger stupidly as it bled. Red…it was so red. Thick, dark red blood trickled down his hand as his eyes glittered in fascination. There was no way he could possibly be a Nobody now. A Nobody's blood was black; just like the World That Never Was; just like the ever present darkness that consumed them. Axel stood up, shaking faintly.
"Where's Roxas?"
"Down at the Postern. He likes to go down there to think or practice on his skateboard sometimes." Sora smiled, understanding Axels' need to see Roxas. They had been separated for far too long. Axel walked over to the door, but paused as his hand lingered on the door knob.
"Sora?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you…"
Sora's mouth shaped into a silent oh as he blinked in surprise. He obviously hadn't been expecting Axel to thank him so openly.
"But don't go thinking I'm going to say it again. I don't say thank you to just anyone. Got it memorized?" Axel had turned around and pointed his finger to his head as he said his annoying catch phrase. Sora's eyes softened as he smiled and nodded in conjecture. Axel, eager and glassy eyed, gave a quick nod in return and ran out the door to go find Roxas.
End Flashback
Axel absentmindedly ran his fingers through Roxas' hair. After he had found Roxas sitting by himself at the Postern with skateboard in hand they had shared what Axel still considered the best night of his life. Shortly after being reunited with Roxas, they had both asked Sora and the others if they would help them search for their friends from the Organization. Thankfully, everyone gladly agreed to help. The only two they had managed to track down so far were Saix and Marluxia. The two were a couple and had somehow managed to find each other after they died. As luck would have it, they were relatively easy to track down and were found within two weeks. Now they were looking for their best friend Demyx, who was proving to be very hard to find. They had been searching for a month and still couldn't find any signs of him. Axel was completely lost in thought when he heard the door bust open. Axel looked up to see Sora standing in the doorway.
"Roxas! Axel! It looks like we found…AHHHHH!!" Sora screamed and blushed as he looked down at the bed and realized that Axel and Roxas were completely naked. But he mainly noticed Roxas because the blankets had managed to slip off of him in the hour or so that Axel had been awake. Axel looked at Sora's flustered face blankly, wondering what possessed the boy to burst into their room at seven in the morning.
"I don't know what the big deal is Sora. I mean, Roxas is your other half, so isn't it kind of like seeing yourself naked?" Axel said as he covered Roxas up just as Riku walked in, covering Sora's eyes.
"Can you please try not to scar my boyfriend for once?" Riku said while throwing an arm protectively over the spiky headed brunette. Sora removed Riku's large hand from his face to make sure that Roxas was covered up before he continued speaking.
"Anyway…um…we think we might have a location on Demyx. So I'd hurry and get dressed before we lose the signal." Riku and Sora ran from the room to keep track of the signal…and to get away from the naked pyromaniac and his lover. Axel glanced at Roxas, who had miraculously slept through the entire conversation with his other half.
"Roxy baby? Come on, wake up." Axel shook Roxas gently to rouse him from his sleep.
Roxas grunted and opened his eyes slowly. A couple of seconds later he sat up and rubbed his eyes, looking at Axel warily.
"What time is it?" Roxas asked as he yawned sleepily.
Axel climbed out of bed and started getting dressed, his back turned to Roxas as he pulled a shirt over his head. "Too early. But Riku and Sora think they might have found out where Demyx is, so we need to hurry and get dressed before they lose the signal."
At hearing this, Roxas jumped out of bed and started getting dressed, hoping against all hope that today was the day they would find their one friend who had always brightened up their world, even in the darkest of times.
