La Bienvenue, Mon Nom Est Axel
By YaoiAndYuri
I lie still in the suffocating darkness. The lids of my sky blue eyes flicker slowly open and shut. I don't remember my name. At least, I don't think I do. I reach out in my mind, searching for lost memories, but nothing comes. Am I dead? If so, am I in Heaven or Hell? Hmph. Wherever this is, it's certainly not interesting.
Distant footfalls are recognized by my brain as a sign of life. A soft clinking, like jewelry brushing against a hard surface, accompanies the sound. Whatever it is, it's closer. I can barely hear gentle breaths now. 'It' draws ever closer.
'It' is a man. A tall, stick-thin figure cloaked in material the same colour as the barren emptiness around us. His hair, God, how can hair even be pointing up in the air that high, like some kind of bizarre salute to the skies? Only adding to his unnatural appearance is the shock of red permeating his hair, giving me the first impression that his head was on fire. His face, with pale peach skin, is flawless, aside from two black tattoos under his bright emerald eyes; formed into shapes reminiscent of diamonds. His lips curve up in a casual smirk as he looks down at me.
"Welcome, my name is Axel," he greets smoothly, in a tone full of self-confidence, "Got it memorized?"
