Come on Roxas, why won't you remember, you promised me that you would…

'Well I guess since we're stuck with each other… the name's Axel, A-X-E-L, Got it memorized Blondie?'

'…Roxas…'

'What?'

Small frown. 'My name is Roxas, not Blondie'

Chuckle; 'Nice to know.'

I still remember, all the times we shared…

'Axel, where are we going?'

'I said it was a surprise, a little icing on the cake, got it memorized?'

'You're really annoying you know, you and your catchphrase.'

Laugh. 'Yeah, I know.'

All of the not-feelings…

'Why are they laughing like that?'

'They're friends; friends laugh over stupid things like that, or eat ice cream…'

'…Then… are we friends?'

'Of course we are Roxy, got it memorized?'

Slight smile. 'Course I do.'

We trusted each other with secrets…

'Hey Axel… why are you always saying got it memorized?'

'Sounds cool…'

'…Are you sure that's the only reason?'

'Well… it kinda gives people something to remember me by; you know if they overlooked my dashing good looks, awesome red hair and towering height.'

Snort. 'Don't forget your humble personality.'

'Exactly!'

Roll eyes, yet smile faintly.

You really did make me feel like I had a heart.

'Hey Roxas… promise me something…'

'Yeah?'

'Don't… don't ever forget me, okay?'

'…Axel I wouldn't forget you, you're my best friend.'

Smile.

'And since when did you get so sappy.' Teasing smile.

Mock Disbelief. 'Me? Sappy? That's YOUR job, got it mem-'

'Got it memorized? Yeah, didn't I just say that I did, geesh, looks like someone has short term memory loss…'

'Hey!'

Laughter.

And then you broke the non-existent thing… made it feel non-existent pain.

'So you've made up your mind?'

'Why did the Keyblade choose me? I have to know…'

'You can't leave the Organization! They'll destroy you!'

'No one would miss me…' Walks away.

'That's not true!' Whisper. 'I would.'

But then, when I came to get you, my injured non-existent heart not only broke, but shattered into a million tiny non-existent pieces… just like that promise.

Because you didn't remember; not even a little bit, I was just some weirdo in a black coat to you. You forgot.

And then you lied to me, ME, your best friend; or at least, I was…

'We're… best friends… right?'

'Well yeah… but I'm not gonna get turned into a Dusk for- Hey you remember now!'

You tried to play it off that you did remember, and for the briefest moment… my non-existent heart swelled with non-existent hope and happiness.

Hesitant nod.

'Great… well… gotta make sure and all… what was our boss's name?'

But it just came crashing down, burning into non-existent ashes.

'…'

'You don't know…'

When you ran, I was beyond caring, too filled with non-existent anger and a non-existent yet all too true sense of betrayal.

'You really do remember me now…'

'…'

'I'M SO FLATTERED.'

We fought, actually fought, like enemies. Yet, for some reason it made me feel a bit more confident… or perhaps the correct word would be desperate…

'Let's meet again, in the next life…'

'Yeah.'

But what made you think I was going to get a next life, another chance? You joined with Sora, and I thought… no… knew that I would never see you again. But I still had to help you, I had to. And I lay there, fading away, looking up into your other's face, I swear a saw your face beside him, tears shining faintly on half-transparent cheeks. You mouthed, with a sad little half smile 'I'm sorry… got it memorized?' I could only chuckle before I disappeared completely.

Yeah Roxas, I got it memorized.

D: Angsty oneshot.

Poor Axel.. most of what he did was for Roxas, and then he goes and forgets him. This can be taken as friendship or luvvvvv, I dont really care how you take it. (But it was /supposed/ to be AkuRoku ;) ) And if you haven't guessed: Typelikethis = Axel's thoughts; Typelikethis = Flashbacks. Also, a lot of the moments were kinda made up... but not all of them.

I no own (god damn it D).

Review please. They make me feel fuzzy.
