Hi, well I just thought this would be interesting to write, also, my other story WILL be updated this week. I am sorry about that, my mother has been terribly sick for the past 3 weeks and I've been helping taking care of her

*LINE*

Axel sat on the edge of the bathtub; looking at his long legs in disgust, for what other way could he see his body in anyways? He stared at his legs, he felt hypnotized by the sight of them something he couldn't help himself by looking at no matter how much he was repulsed. They were welted up from the itching and the sweat. He let the hot water run over them, he was in some helpless mindset that maybe the searing heat would contribute to helping him. The redhead grabbed the soap that was in its rightful place in the corner of the linoleum tub and started scrubbing his legs. His teeth started grinding as he rubbed his palms up and down, feeling rough and uneven skin under them. He tried his hardest not to think about how much of a failure he was. He honest to God tried to stay confident that this would all be gone soon, but to be honest, how much hope could a person have after having this for so long. Hadn't he promised himself he would have enough will power to change all this by the time he was 18? He could see himself as a 7 year old now, telling his doctor that he'd stick with this and that by the time he was in middle school he'd have smooth and pale skin. He gave a bitter laugh into the unforgiving air that was accumulating in the bathroom, oh how every time his goal wasn't achieved he'd just push it back again… and again…. and again.

He had no one to blame but himself. The doctor had said that if Axel would just take better care of himself this would all go away. He tried, honestly he did, but it just wouldn't work when he'd be stressed out all the time. And he just couldn't help himself when he got depressed. He was a slave to the urge every time he got made fun of, was given a weird a look, or someone put him in the center of attention when they felt bad for him. That's the thing he hated most, when 'nice people' tried to give him pity. He didn't need it, besides there were people toughing it worse than he was. He twitched at this, his right shoulder moving up a bit and his whole body becoming crooked as some part leaned a one way before relaxing again and falling into the position it was before. This sort of thing happened when he had a thought that bothered him. Normally it reminded him of some sort of flaw he saw in himself. In this particular case he felt crappy because he had no right to sit here on the bathtub and feel bad for himself as there were people out there in worse condition. He tried not to let the though linger as he grabbed the towel, dried his legs, and pulled on clothes for the lower half of his body.

The green-eyed boy pulled out the Eucerin cream that was used for the dry skin that he was fostering. After doing so he applied a fresh coat on his arms, torso, and anywhere else where the blotches and broken skins were. He also applied a little bit to his cheek bones as he looked into the mirror; it seemed he was a little broke out there. As he stood examining his face he smiled sadly, thinking of the tattoos he planned to get one day when his body was completely healed. Two triangles just below his eyes, it was something he'd always wanted. He now fought back tears, so many of the things he wanted to do have been on hold all for this. He's missed out on so many events all because of this; I mean how could you ever feel comfortable when you look like this? No, he just preferred to stay at home and play video games by himself. What's better than saving Hyrule anyway?

He flopped on his bed and growled at the gooey feeling that came with the interaction of his creamed up body and the sheets. He couldn't stand this for too much longer, he just couldn't deal with this. He couldn't handle the loneliness, depression, or low self esteem that he harbored because of it. He felt a pang at the word loneliness. Would he be like this once he was finally out of high school? Would he really graduate without having one other person in a non-platonic relationship? Sure he had Demyx and Larxene; but they were only friends, they couldn't compare to the feeling of having someone by your side that puts you before everyone else, that someone who you enjoy being around no matter what y'all are doing , someone who stays with you and is willing to work out any problems so you'll be theirs forever. This made Axel want to throw something at the wall in front of him. He didn't though because he didn't want his parents to worry, so he just settled for throwing the sealed tub of Eucerin against the floor, hard. It made a boom sound and it wasn't long before Axel's sister, Kairi, came up to the door and softly knocked.

She spoke gently, she was scared to upset the already angry boy, "Axel, are you alright?"

He just sighed softly at the ground, "I'm fine, Kai, promise."

She nodded only to realize Axel couldn't see her, "Oh ok, by the way, I'm going to walk to the park okay? Sora, Riku, possibly Roxas, and Yours Truly will be hanging out, be sure to tell Mom if she asks where I am."

Axel shot up instantly, pulling on a black hoodie that complimented the black pants he was also sporting, "Kairi, there is no way in hell I am letting you walk to the park by yourself."

Kairi groaned loudly, "Y'know I am 14! I can walk to the park by myself and hang out with some friends!"

Axel smirked and opened the door, staring down at his younger sister, "Not as long as I'm your brother you won't."

She playfully hissed at him. All grew silent though as they walked out the front door, Axel made sure to keep his face glued to the ground in an attempt to not get people to look at his face that had gotten a little bit better but was broken out none the less.

Ok well this should be interesting. Yeah Idk I just felt like making Roxas younger than Axel in this one. I also decided to make Axel the one that needs some TLC instead of Roxas, thought it would be interesting. Review please, if I get some I'll be motivated cause right now I'm really just testing the waters with this one.
