Simply Fate
"I suppose I will miss you or at least I hope I will."
A lone blonde in the rain thought to himself as he took a long drag out of his cigarette, the blonde discarded the cigarette and looked to the sky. "Great, now I have to worry about people seeing all this blood" the spiky haired boy looked down to the bloody corpse and examined it with a bored expression.
"I better hurry and get rid of the smell" the boy droned on through his mental check list when killing someone.
The blood
The smell
Prints on anything
Witnesses if any
And finally the body
"I'll handle the blood later thanks to this damn rain; well at least he's not bleeding too much I'm glad I decided to shoot him instead of slitting his throat" the boy reached in his right sleeve and pulled out a little silver ball about the size of a dime.
The boy threw the ball directly on the corpse as it exploded diminishing the dead body smell but one wasn't enough to cover up the smell of the rain so that was all the boy could smell
"I always liked the smell of rain" the boy started talking to the corpse as he inhaled deeply with a content smile on his face.
"My name is Roxas Strife, and I was sent here too kill you" the boy now named Roxas explained with a sad smile.
I'm sorry I killed you but, I took care of the smell before it was even there so you didn't stink." Roxas tried and stopped almost as if waiting for a reply.
"Nice….. to m-meet you…. Ro-Roxas" the corpse responded
"I thought I killed you" Roxas backed up shocked and reached for his gun.
The man lifted his hand which succeeded in stopping Roxas from reaching for his gun and began speaking
"Don't worry, I may have a minute or two left but I will die soon so, thank you" the man responded in pants straining himself to speak without pauses.
"Why are you thanking me I killed you" Roxas yelled thoroughly confused
"I was a bad person Roxas and now I will atone for my sins" the man held on to what strength he had to actually stand and hobble over to Roxas, who had an unreadable expression on his face and actually pulled him into a hug.
Another man turned around the corner and saw the scene unfolding and all the BLOOD.
Roxas lifted his left arm holding his pistol and without looking away from the hug and shot the man through his eye and the man fell immediately dying.
Roxas now realized that the man was completely leaning on him for support but he was still breathing.
"What you are doing Roxas is not evil, remember that" the man said ignoring the fact Roxas had just killed someone.
"What about that man? How was he evil?" Roxas refused to accept he was good.
The man fell to the ground truly on his final breaths now and just before finally dying he mumbled
"It was simply fate" he lowered his head and exhaled closing his eyes
He is dead
Roxas now noticed the second man he killed had dropped a phone and he could hear a dull voice coming from it, he picked up the phone and listened, careful not to make his presence known as he stopped breathing.
"Dad, are you alright?" the boy sounded worried and Roxas's eyes opened wide and he stared at the man on the floor and realized he knew the man.
"No way!" Roxas thought as he began shaking letting himself exhaleand the person on the phone realized someone was there.
"Dad, thank goodness I thought something happened to you" the boy said now cheerful and Roxas could feel the boy's relief.
"Sora" Roxas half whispered and half cried as he felt himself fall to his knees staring at the man.
"Roxas?" Sora whispered feeling his heart clench with happiness and then worry filled his system.
"Roxas, why are you crying? Where's my dad?" Sora asked getting restless and broke down into tears.
"It really is Sora…. And the man I just killed was… his father" Roxas felt himself start to cry. That's impossible I haven't cried since-"
"Roxas! Calm down I'm here just tell me what happened" Sora cut off his train of thought and Roxas paused, taking a moment to stop from crying, he then took a deep breath and started to answer.
"Sora, your father has been shot… he's dead" Roxas stated calmly and then felt a sharp pain in his chest when he heard Sora inhale sharply to stop from breaking down.
"He probably doesn't want me to hear him cry" Roxas thought and an idea popped in his head and he seemed scared to even think of such a thing.
"Ro-Roxas I need t-to know are yo-you okay" Sora asked his voice cracking and holding in tears.
"That idiot has the audacity to worry about me" Roxas thought and he settled on going through with his idea and felt a sudden determination.
"I'm fine, and I'm going over to your place right now!" Roxas screamed into the phone and hung up directing his attention back to the bodies.
Roxas scanned his surroundings and thought deeply
I'll get rid of the first body and leave Laguna alone" Roxas thought and felt a strange pain coming from his chest.
"Sorry….. Laguna" Roxas said to the sky and quickly disposed of the first body, and then left the alleyway.
"Now, I have to see Sora" Roxas said to the sky looking for a sign Laguna was listening and maybe… Understand.
Roxas walked down the familiar sidewalk and saw new buildings he had never seen before and at the same time old buildings he had known his whole life; then he felt a familiar atmosphere mixed in with a nervous and excited one.
Excited because he got to see his best friend for the first time in two years and nervous because he had to deal with the sure to come overflowing guilt of killing his father without even knowing who he was or bothering to look away from a damn hug.
"Why didn't I look? If I looked I would've seen Laguna and I could have convinced him not to turn me in; he probably would've helped me hide the body, we were friends in a way, due to my connection with Sora" Roxas was so lost in thought he had unintentionally walked right past Sora's house.
Roxas blushed out of embarrassment, hoping no one saw his little mess up, he turned around walked up to Sora's door and was about to knock but froze when Sora flung open the door and jumped on Roxas, wrapping his arms around Roxas's shoulders and jumped up wrapping his legs firmly around Roxas's waist; locking them in place. Roxas in turn wrapped his arms around Sora and held him tightly.
After a while Roxas realized they were still on his front porch and some of his neighbors were staring with looks of fangirls and fanboys.
Roxas ignored them and pushed Sora away a little bit to examine his face; he saw he saw his eyes were puffy and red, a pained look on his face mixed in with a happy one, but what surprised Roxas was that smile; a smile that seemed more than genuine and at the same time in so much pain.
Fresh tears spilled from Sora as he stared into Roxas's eyes and then buried his head back into Roxas's shoulder
Roxas let a soft smile settle on his lips and he carried Sora inside and shut the door, then he carried Sora over to the couch and laid him down, Sora whined and looked up to Roxas with a pleading look.
Roxas sighed, "fine, move over" Sora lit up and sat upright so Roxas could lay down, he did just that and no sooner than he did Sora plopped down on his chest and snuggled his head in his chest.
Sora let out a content sigh and five minutes later Roxas heard him snoring softly.
Roxas looked down at Sora and smiled to see his friend after so long; with Sora there he let his guard drop and soon found himself asleep.
