Yeah, I was feeling depressed the night I wrote this, and I wrote this on a random act of inspiration. Not much else to say beside it is AU, totally spur of the moment, and probably really, really OOC.

I, Axel, looked out of his window to see him walking away from the Castle that Never Was. I knew this may be the last time I ever saw Roxas, and I was having a hard time accepting it, not wanting to believe its true. The I came to a realization, the realization that I couldn't live without him, no matter how hard I tried, no heart be damned.

Then I ran, and ran, not wanting him to get too far, not wanting to not be able to catch him, as I ran into the pouring rain and darkness.

-

It was raining, no, pouring, when I set out to leave. I just couldn't stand living the lies they fed us. I could feel emotions coursing through my body.

Hate, sadness, anger, love. All of these things were running through me, making it too much to stay here, in this emotionless void. I just needed to leave, to take action into my own hands after everything that had happened and had been drilled into my head since 'birth'.

After I walked for a few minutes I could hear one word yelled to me, in that one voice, that voice that made me stop dead in my tracks, fists clenched and head dropped.

-

"ROXAS!" I yelled, tears silently streaming down my face, indistinguishable from the rainwater, attempting to stop him. It seemed to work, if not piss him off a little. "Roxas!" I called again when I was closer.

I ran and ran, until I was flush against him, holding him to my chest, crying into his back. "Roxas, don't leave me in this hellhole alone." I whispered, only hoping that he could hear me over the rain. "Don't leave me alone again." I whispered again, thinking of those long, hard months of solitude before he came. Sure, I had Demyx, but he couldn't hold a candle to Roxas, and never would.

"No one would miss me." Roxas stated matter-of-factly as he continued on, not seeming to care.

"What about me! I would!" I shouted, stopping Roxas dead in his tracks again.

"What did you say?" He asked voice trembling, seeming like his resolve was going to break down any minute.

I walked up to him from behind, embracing him again, and speaking into his ear replied, "I said I would."

Roxas then pushed his way out of my grip, walking away. "I need to do this alone." he said behind him, before he was out of earshot, walking out of my life, or should I say nonexistance, for good.

I watched my nonexistant heart shatter that day, and it would never be repaired.
