Roxas frowned.
All he ever wanted was to see his boyfriend smile one last time. He wanted to watch those pretty pink lips laugh and he wanted to see those bright blue eyes dance and be filled with pure happiness.
He never wanted this. He never wanted the boy he loved so much to look so defeated and sad.
And those tears were breaking his heart.
"It's your fault you know."
The blond haired boy turned and looked up at the speaker and frowned, "I know."
Xemnas sighed and took a seat next to Roxas. "they're all crying over you. Guilt eating them alive. Most are probably thinking that they could have saved you."
Roxas looked away and glared at the ground. "No one could have saved me."
"I never said they could have."
"What do you want?"
Xemnas was silent for a moment before speaking. "You decided to stay here on Earth. I was assigned your caretaker until you decide to move on."
"Move on where?"
Xemnas did not answer. He just silently watched as a pretty blond woman sob openly on a blond man's shoulder. Roxas knew the tears were fake.
Roxas sighed, knowing he would not get an answer.
Roxas watched as his brother, Cloud, walk out of the funeral room and frowned. Cloud was also having a rough time with his life due to their parents.
Both Cloud and Roxas had come out to their parents at the same time.
Their father kicked them out and their mother shunned them, then one day they show up on Cloud's door and apologized.
It was not until later that Cloud realized that they were trying to make them change. They would bring pretty girls over and scare away any boyfriends.
Roxas was jarred out of his thoughts as his beloved boyfriend Sora walk up to the podium. Roxas' parents sent him hateful glares but Sora just ignored them.
"Roxas was… he was my first and only true love," Sora began. His voice was strong now but Roxas could tell he was about to break into tears. "He was my-my best friend and-" He didn't get really far into his speech before he began to cry. "I love you Roxas. I'm sorry I wasn't a good enough boyfriend! I'm sorry I would leave my junk all over our apartment and-."
Roxas shook his head, "no Sora, it was never your fault." He whispered, knowing Sora would not be able to hear him. "I was like this before you."
Roxas hated himself more than ever now. Sora should never cry and Roxas vowed to make sure the brunet would always be happy and yet he is the reason Sora is crying.
"Come on. I have to introduce you to your partner."
Roxas looked up confused. "Partner?"
"Surely you did not think we would let you stay without a price." Xemnas raised an eyebrow.
Roxas looked down, "no, I guess not."
"Good. Follow me."
Roxas cast one last glance at his beloved boyfriend before following Xemnas.
Roxas stared as the dark skinned man walked through a wall. Tentatively he waked up to the wall and pushed his hand. Surprisingly it went through.
Roxas closed his eyes and walked forward. Once he was sure he was through the wall did he open his eyes.
Xemnas was not there. Only a tall redhead in the corner, leaning against the wall.
The redhead smiled, "You must be my partner."
Roxas frowned and shrugged. "I suppose I am."
"The name is Axel. Got it memorized?"
Roxas just stared at him confused. Just how stupid were some people?
"Roxas," he shook Axel's outstretched hand.
Axel sighed, "so, how does being dead feel?"
Roxas just rolled his eyes and sighed.
