(AkuSai)
illness
When Saix started to change, Axel's first concern was his friend's well being. As Saix continued to deny that anything was wrong, he put it out of his mind and was paying for it. Whether they had hearts or not… his chest was aching as he stared down at his companion's now frail form on the bed and tried to ignore that the machines were emitting a high pitched constant ring. Saix's pride and refusal to admit he was ill had killed him… and Axel found himself alone, despite the other body in the room.
"Bastard… you promised. No secrets…"
clause
"No matter how many times you explain it, I'm not going to understand this rule-within-a-rule. Its stupid." Axel griped. Saix frowned, glaring at him and finding himself just as frustrated with the redhead as the redhead was with him. It honestly wasn't that hard to understand the Secrecy clause...
socialism
Axel was a firm believer that everyone had to work for their share, but Saix liked the idea that things could be more fair. If the Organization was treated fairly, none of them would have reason to pretend they were angry. Axel simply did not see the point of this.
tragedy
It was hard to hear "Lea" after all this time. Knowing that as Saix said it, it meant that their friendship was over. Anything they'd had and felt… their fling, their adventures in the other life… all of it was gone. He was sure that his friend was feeling it just as much if those cold golden eyes weren't lying.
dread
"Axel." he looked up at Saix, expression irritated. What did he want now? Seeing the look on Saix's face, he suddenly found he didn't want to know. He paled slightly, sweat trailing down his cheek. That… look of complete and utter contempt on Saix's face made him shake. Was this fear?
No… it was far deeper, and from the wicked grin Saix put on… Saix knew exactly what he was feeling.
guest
"Seems we have a friend." Lea grinned, skipping over to where a small blond was sitting and eating ice cream. Isa rolled his eyes.
"You mean your stray." he noted flatly. Lea only grinned and bounded over to Ven tackling him happily.
separate
As Axel stumbled out of the room Saix had dragged him into, whimpering and barely able to move, all he could think of was how he needed to get away. Saix was no longer the man he used to know. It was time to go their separate ways...
He just needed to figure out where he could run with Roxas… that the Organization, especially Saix and Xemnas, couldn't follow.
graduate
Isa stood at the podium as class president, offering his pleasant smile to the parents and relatives in the crowd. Lea sat staring up at him, grinning at his friend, winking whenever his eyes passed over him. Isa had to resist the urge to laugh at the sight of Lea sitting in his graduation robe with that ridiculous hat over those spikes of crimson hair, winking at him.
converter
When Saix met Xemnas, the entire dynamic of his relationship with Axel changed. Slowly, he drifted away from Axel despite their plans to take over and make sure they got their hearts back. That stopped mattering. All he wanted was to serve the man.
Axel watched his former friend with distrust and fear now, skittish around him and never ever turning his back to him. He'd changed. He'd betrayed him...
Xemnas was like a converter box. And Saix was the signal. Isa had gone in… the Berserker was what came out.
cant
Forgiveness could never be.
Axel's leaving, Saix's betrayal of their… whatever the fuck their more-than-friends-with-benefits relationship could have been called.
So when Axel was captured with Kairi by Saix, and beaten him within an inch of his life… and those golden eyes had turned blue once more… for only a moment… When Saix had asked him forgiveness, Axel had only one answer.
"Can't." And he'd fled as best he could with the injuries Saix had given him
