This is just a little drabble I wrote in class. AkuRoku is so angsty, no?

EDIT: Okay guys, this doesn't mean the Grind's pairing is AkuRoku. This drabble has nothing to do with the Grind, and no, I won't tell you what the pairing is. It's a secret!


Axel remembered everything about Roxas.

He remembered the way that he smelled, his distinct aroma. He wasn't sure what it was built off of; perhaps it was merely the shampoo he used. Nevertheless, it was a pleasant smell, and belonged only to Roxas. Sometimes, while wondering about the castle, Axel could swear he smelled his scent again, ever so faint, making his heart pound, but each time it was merely his mind playing tricks on him.

He remembered that awkward little smile he made, most of the time subconsciously. Whenever Axel pointed it out, the blond would scowl and say "Shut up, jerk", but even though he covered it up, Axel knew that smile was just for him.

He remembered the way he tasted. Sure, Roxas' skin was no different than anybody else's, but to Axel it was heaven. He remembered the feel of his lips against the boy's smooth, soft skin.

He remembered the way that he kissed. Their first kiss had been rather awkward, painful even, but as time passed, Roxas came to learn how to hit all of Axel's spots just right, making him shiver with pleasure.

He remembered the way that he crinkled his nose as he took his first bite of sea-salt ice cream.

He remembered the feel of his soft, blond hair as he ran his hands through it.

He remembered how he would curl his toes whenever they cuddled together.

He remembered the way the setting sun molded to his slender frame as they sat atop Twlight Tower.

He remembered the sound of his faint, soft breaths as he slept, his features peaceful, almost angelic.

He remembered…

…the day he left.

He had a heart, Axel knew this for certain. And that day… his heart was screaming.
His face was blank, eyes cold as he said "No one would miss me".

At first, Axel was mad. How could he say such a thing after all they had been through?!
But now… his memories, which had once given him such joy, were his tormentor.

Axel remembered everything about Roxas.

But the anger meant nothing, the pain meant nothing, the memories meant nothing.

Because Roxas was gone.
