"Demyx!" Axel ran to Demyx's broken body.
"Axel?" Demyx reached up his hand, Axel took it.
"I'm here."
"I-I failed. I wasn't able to get Roxas to remember. I even used the note cards you gave me." Axel smirked at this. The fool, what was he thinking?
"You confronted Roxas? Demyx, I couldn't even make him remember. When he is Sora he can't remember anything."
"I had to try. For you. I knew how much he meant to you." Demyx smiled through his pain.
"But why? Why risk your life. It couldn't have been just because Superior ordered it."
"I di-didn't want to see you sad any-anymore." Demyx started coughing up blood. Axel noticed his friend's face looked extremely pale.
"Shh, Demyx. Don't try to speak. You'll only make it worse on yourself."
"Thank you, Axel."
"For what?"
"For being my friend. And being there for me, even now."
"Demyx-" Axel had to fight the tears that were coming. He was a tough guy but this...
"Don't interrupt hothead. You were the only one who stuck by me even though I was annoying and incredibly idiotic." Demyx coughed again, more blood coming out. The ground around the two nobodies was soaked with the thick red liquid.
"Demyx you're not going to die. Dammit, the organization needs you!" I need you.
Demyx smiled up at Axel and grabbed onto his coat, pulling him into a hug.
"Tell Superior I'm sorry." Demyx held tighter to Axel. "My secret crush...is you." Axel felt Demyx's body loosen against his. He let the tears slide down his cheeks now. He gently set Demyx down on the ground.
"And you were my secret crush, Demyx." Axel looked over and saw Demyx's sitar. He pulled himself off the ground and got the instrument setting it down next to Demyx. Axel lent over his dead friend's body and placed a kiss on his forehead.
"Forgive me."
