AkuRoku Broken Promise
"That's not the fucking point!" Roxas screamed at Axel.
"Then what the fuck is? I'm tired of fighting with you!" Axel shouted.
Roxas scowled at him and stormed to the door. "Goodbye Axel," Roxas spat opening the door.
"Hold on Roxas," Axel said walking forward.
Roxas turned to glare at him. "What? Don't ask me to stay because I won't," Roxas said coldly.
"No, I'm leaving this time. You're the one always fucking leaving, it's my turn," Axel spat before storming out into the rain.
"Fine then! Leave! I don't give a fuck!" Roxas shouted before slamming the door and throwing himself on the couch.
Axel stalked through the rain to his motorcycle fuming. He climbed on his motorcycle. Axel picked up his helmet, examining it. Roxas gave it to him for his birthday because he never wore one.
'Promise me you'll always wear it,' Roxas had said after Axel thanked him.
'I promise,' Axel said smiling.
Roxas also promised to never cheat on Axel either. Axel doesn't give a fuck how drunk Roxas was, that doesn't mean he can kiss Sora.
Axel ran his fingers over the words etched in the back. 'Got it memorized?'
Axel threw the helmet at the garage. If Roxas can break promises then so can he.
Axel started the bike and sped off.
Axel bent forward as the rain soaked through his clothes. His wet hair whipped around his face as he sped down the winding rode.
'Stupid Roxas, he cheated on me and expects me to forgive him so easily. I don't have to forgive him if I don't want to. He was mad at me for weeks because I broke his stupid necklace,' Axel thought furiously.
Axel closed his eyes as an image of Roxas kissing Sora filled his vision. Axel shook his head trying to get rid of the image but it just kept coming back.
Axel opened his eyes so he can see where he's going.
"Oh shit," Axel hissed narrowly avoiding a big rig.
Axel's motorcycle spun as he swerved to avoid the truck. I black sedan swerved around him causing him to turn the other way. The sedan hit a truck, flipping over. Axel swerved out of the way as the truck skidded his way.
Axel stopped once he was in the clear. His eyes widened as he noticed bright lights on him. He looked up as a silver car flipped over the sedan. Axel tried to move as the car seemed to fall in slow motion over him but his muscles stayed locked in place.
Roxas wiped his tears away. He looked down at his phone as it vibrated.
"Hello," Roxas said.
"Roxas its Axel," Namine said.
"I don't want to talk to him right now," Roxas grumbled.
"Roxas, Axel's in the hospital. He might not have that much time left," Namine whispered.
"What happened?" Roxas asked in a shaky voice.
"He got crushed by a car, he has internal bleeding. Come to the hospital. This is could be your last time to see him," Namine whispered sadly.
"I'm on my way," Roxas said before hanging up.
Roxas ran down to his car and sped to the hospital, crying.
Roxas ran into the hospital dripping wet. When he spotted Namine he ran over to her.
"Where is he?" Roxas asked clinging onto her, tears streaming from his eyes.
Namine looked at a door that Reno just left from. Namine wiped her tears away as she watched her brother hurry off to Axel's room.
Roxas passed a crying Reno on his way to Axel.
"Axel?" he asked walking up to the bed.
Axel turned his head weakly looking at the blond. He smiled slightly. Roxas took his hand in both of his, tears running down his face.
Roxas' heart broke at the sight of his love all bruised and bandaged up in a hospital bed. Axel looks so weak and fragile.
"Axel, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for everything. For cheating on you and for this," Roxas said gesturing to Axel's condition. "It's all my fault. I had no reason to get mad at you."
"Shush. Its okay, Roxy. It's not like you meant to kiss Sora, you were completely wasted," Axel said smiling. "This isn't your fault. I shouldn't have left," Axel said seriously.
Roxas let his head drop a little. "Don't blame yourself. I love you, and that's all that matters," Roxas whispered.
Axel touched Roxas' cheek. "I love you, too. You are my heart," Axel whispered.
Roxas shuddered as a sob broke past his lips. "You're my heart," Roxas whispered.
Roxas leaned forward and gently kissed Axel.
"Please don't go," Roxas whispered as he heard the beeping slow.
"I'm sorry I broke my promise," Axel whispered.
"What promise?" Roxas asked lifting his tear streaked face.
"I promised to always wear my helmet and I didn't—not this time," Axel whispered weakly.
"I forgive you, like always," Roxas whispered kissing Axel again.
"You're not yelling at me," Axel whispered.
His heart beats are farther apart.
"If you stay, I'll promise to kick your ass later," Roxas whispered stroking Axel's hair.
Heart beats are getting slower.
"I can't break another promise," Axel whispered.
Barely there.
"Please don't leave me," Roxas begged sobbing now.
"I'm sorry, Roxy," Axel whispered, his voice barely audible.
"We'll see each in the next life. Right, love?" Roxas asked.
"I promise," Axel whispered.
Axel slowly closed his eyes as his ragged breath slowed.
Roxas leaned down and pressed his lips to Axel's one last time.
The loud beep echoed through the silent room with only one beating heart.
"Axel?" Roxas asked refusing to accept the undeniable truth.
"Axel?" Roxas asked shaking the lifeless body.
Roxas let his head fall down on the silent chest. "Axel," Roxas sobbed.
"Roxas?" Namine asked.
Roxas looked over his shoulder at his crying sister.
"I'm so sorry," she murmured.
"What's the point to anything?" Roxas asked.
"I-I don't know," Namine murmured looking down.
Roxas kissed Axel's cold cheek before leaving. Roxas ignored his car and walked home through the relentless rain.
He wrapped his arms around his self as he walked through the rain feeling nothing.
Roxas opened the door to his home—no, his house. It's not a home. Not anymore. Not without Axel.
Roxas sat down in the kitchen. He rolled up his sleeve and looked at his scarred wrist. He used to cut but Axel got him to stop.
Roxas' head snapped up as an idea came. Roxas walked to the liquor cabinet and grabbed out two bottles of vodka.
Roxas opened the bottles and walked to the bedroom where he had made love with Axel. The bedroom they used to share.
Roxas poured the alcohol around the room and grabbed Axel's favorite lighter. Roxas played with it before torching the room.
Roxas looked around the burning room and sat down on the floor. He grabbed a shoe box from under his dresser and pulled out his old cutting blade and towel.
Roxas closed his eyes and relaxed, letting the warmth from the fire sooth him. Eyes still closed, Roxas lifted the blade and dug it into his skin reopening the old wounds. He cut deeper, clenching his teeth from the pain but not letting out a sound.
Roxas let his arm drop, weak from the blood loss. Roxas slowly opened his eyes inhaling the smoke waiting for the darkness to take him. He let his head drop to look at his torn up arm.
Roxas smiled slightly at his work before grimacing in pain. The fire licked across the floor closer to him. He brought his legs up closer, away from the fire. He didn't want to burn, not yet.
It got harder to breath as smoke filled his lungs. Roxas coughed weakly waiting for the pain to go away.
The pain slowly ebbed away from his body. Roxas smiled grateful that he was finally going away. The room faded into darkness.
Roxas whispered, "I'm sorry…I broke my…promise…Axel," as he slowly faded away into oblivion.
