Hearts of the Nobodies
He looked over at me. Gosh, those big, emerald-green eyes. I turned back to the delicious treat melting in my hands. I took another bite of my sea-salt ice cream. It was Axel's favorite. "Roxas," he said after a long, dead silence, "I came up with a nickname for you." I looked out at the sunset wondering just what it could be. "Roxy." He said. I thought about it, then I chuckled. "I like it."
Then, out of nowhere, that feeling overwhelmed me. You know the feeling of being lost and alone? The feeling that makes you not want anything anymore? That's what it was like. Except this was much worse. It didn't make sense though. I was a Nobody. We weren't supposed to have feelings.
I buried my head in my arms. Things weren't the same since Xion left. I stood up. I looked over the thousand foot drop of the clock tower. Just before I took the last step of my life, someone jerked me back. Tears streamed down my face. I knew who it was. But, why did he care?
Suddenly, I felt his arms wrap around me. He pulled me towards him and hugged me. "Don't ever do that again," he whispered, choking back tears, "I don't want to lose you." The warmth of his words touched me in unexplainable ways. "I-I'm not like the others," I stuttered.
Axel looked straight into my eyes, gazing into my soul. He would never understand the way I felt. No one did. But what he told me next took my breath away. "No, WE are not like the rest of Organization. We have hearts. Roxas, I love you." Then, before I realized what was happening, I felt his soft, sweet lips lock with mine.
