"Goodbye"

~PROLOGUE~

---

"Ya know Roxas, I'm really gonna miss this." Axel said as he took a bite out of his ice cream. Roxas's head dropped as his glance shifted to the ice cream in his hand. The two sat atop their usual spot with their feet dangling high above Twilight Town. The town was quiet as usual. The trains were coming and going from Sunset Station like any other day. In the distance, three children could be seen. They were making those 'ha ha' sounds, they must have been having fun…

The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon, staining the sky with warm colors. "Hey Roxas, bet you don't know why the sun sets red…" The blond looked to the redhead and cocked an eyebrow. Without drawing his eyes away from the sunset or even waiting for a response, the man continued. "You see, light's made up of lots of colors… And out of all those colors, red's the one that reaches the farthest." The man took another bite and looked to the boy as he spoke. "Like I asked, know-it-all!" The two shared a chuckle and continued to eat.

They knew their time left together was coming to an end. As the blond lifted his hand to take another bite out of the blue icy treat, he noticed his hand began to fade. "I guess that means I've gotta go back to Sora…" The redhead dreaded those words. There was still so much to be done… so much he had to tell Roxas. "Man, this really sucks…" The redhead was holding back tears as he spoke.

The two bodies began to fade faster and faster. They were disappearing. "Hey Rox?" The blond looked over to the man. "Do you ever think that maybe, just maybe, we all have hearts?" The boy thought for a second. "I don't know… I can't just look inside…" As Roxas looked up at Axel, he noticed a tear slipping down his fading face. "But I know one thing…" Roxas added. "You have to have heart to cry." And before he knew it, he found tears falling from his own eyes as well.

Axel and Roxas had almost completely faded away. In the last moments of their existence, Axel looked at Roxas intently. "I promise you, I'll find a way. One day, We'll each be our own person. We'll be real people." The blond simply smiled and nodded. Axel struggled to say a goodbye. "See ya, buddy." Tears were relentlessly streaming down both men's faces. In a shaky tone, Roxas managed to respond. "See you."
