"Roxas, I'll see you there, Roxas."
He uttered softly, as darkness swallowed him up.
He smirked at me and took my hand.
"I'm not Roxas."
I protested, but the look in his eyes, they sparkled as if this Roxas were there. He missed his friend, comrade, who was I to deny him?
Tears rolled down my face as our fingers laced together.
He tried to sit up, but knew it was futile.
Normally, most nobodies having no heart had any feelings. However, Axel, he could feel. I thought for a moment, swearing a heart had beaten, though he had no heart or did he.
Perhaps I was deluded and thought I could save him, even when we fought side by side, I could sense loyalty to a friend, a friend who vanished to become a part of me.
He had given himself up so our story would end.
If it were noble, why do I tremble? Why do I cry when he sacrificed himself for us? Axel was a no-body, no real name, no real purpose in life.
So why, why does my heart ache as his hand grows lax in mine.
All he left with me was a smile and encouraging words of bondage.
I refused to lift my bleary gaze to Donald and Goofy, knowing they would be worried if they saw me crying. After all, I would be crying for the enemy, but Axel was a step close to being human.
Is it so wrong to cry, cry for a man who was once our enemy? Maybe we can meet again someday, that will be my goal, once the struggle for Kingdom Hearts is over.
We will meet again and I would like
to know Axel better no matter what will become of us.
"After
all, it only makes my heart stronger."
Donald and Goofy watched me as I rose to my feet, clutching the key blade tightly. I was ready to go now and watched as darkness swallowed Axel completely.
My fingers tensed around the blade, knuckles whitening under gloves.
This would be our story.
