Love to Lose

Oh, Roxas. It's not that you don't want to ruin your friendship.

You love Olette, you love her so much. So why do you insist that it would be weird; that Hayner would get jealous; that it would ruin your friendship? Why do you lie so much? It wouldn't be weird, you know that because Olette loves you so much as well – you know that too. And Hayner wouldn't get jealous! He may have had a crush on her in grade six but he has Naminé now. Did you forget? How would it ruin your friendship? How, pray tell, because as far as I can see, you both love each other too much already for this thing you have going on to be called "friendship".

I remember when you used to deny it and your face would go all red like a balloon and you'd whip round and say, spluttering, "No! No, I don't like Olette?! Why would you even say that?" And I'd just laugh while you fumed. And even with how fake and embarrassed you sounded when you said it, I kept on trying to force myself to believe that you meant it. But, deep down, somewhere in that charred rock in my chest, I knew... I knew you didn't mean it.

Because, you – yes you, Roxas – love her!

Honestly and truly you do!

So, what's all this rubbish about ruining your friendship? You wouldn't lose one friend over it, would you? Think about it.

"I'd lose you, Axel."

"Huh?"

"I do love you, you know. Just... Just not as much as Olette."

"I know."

"Good."
