Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Even though many would believe I would, being a teen and in my prime, I could so totally make an uber successful video game series.
Look, in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's…SUPER ANGST!
No, I do not drabble on about how whoever's life sucks and how they hate the world and such and how miserable they are, however! I am kinda close. It is about suicide after all, boys and girls!
Also, in this fic the chapters will be short or, at least this one. My dad was yelling, "Go to bed!" so I couldn't write much and that point at the end seemed like a good spot. Thanks for reading!
Yes, I comment on how anorexic Axel looks. (In later chapters) I mean, come on! His arms! They are like sticks! And he's so damned skinny! I shake my fist in envy at you, Axel! I shake my fist!

Roxas drew in a few shallow breaths, his entire body shaking violently. He stared at the abyss of concrete below him, covered in shadows. Even in the clear expanse of midnight it was difficult to see from such a long drop. Roxas scrambled onto the railing of the bridge as he heard the urgent yet monotonous footsteps still behind him.
He smiled grimly. He was going to accomplish his mission, his purpose, and that was nothing, for he was nothing. Meaningless.
It will be better for everyone, He thought, The Organization can stop hunting me and relax occasionally. Hayner, Pence, and Olette will stop being harassed by the heartless and nobodies. That boy, Sora, will no longer have to share his life with me; it will be his own again. And him…He'll be safe now, the man I love…
A slight smile ghosted his lips.
Roxas raised his arms slowly to shoulder height and close his eyes gracefully. A final flourish before I die. He thought teetering on the edge of the bridge, ready to jump, ready to end the pain.
"ROXAS!" He heard a voice scream in horror. Roxas ignored it.
"One…" Roxas began counting aloud quietly, "Two…"
Roxas felt two skinny arms wrap around his waist and roughly throw him to the ground.
Roxas stared into Axel's intense green eyes as the older man crawled on top of him. Axel grabbed the collar of Roxas' shirt and began shaking the blonde boy violently.
"What the hell is wrong with you!" He screamed manically, "What were you going to do!"
"I was going to kill myself," Roxas stated calmly.
Axel pulled back one of his hands and back handed Roxas across the face as hard as he could.
Roxas continued to stare blankly, even as he felt a steady stream of blood run down his cheek. He didn't feel the pain; he was past that type of thing now.
Roxas watched uncertainly as Axel's eyes welled up with tears.
"But why?" Axel choked.
"No one would miss me," Roxas replied bitterly, his heart filling with anguish.
Roxas watched as tears streamed freely down Axel's face.
Axel once again grabbed the collar of Roxas' shirt and said softly, "I would." Roxas blinked. Axel buried his face in Roxas' shirt, pulling the other boy closer, moaning the words, "I would."
Roxas felt a stab of guilt. What if I had killed myself? He thought, wondering if Axel would have done the same. But, his troubled thoughts were cut short as he felt his head fog up and his eyes glaze over.
"Hey, Axel?
"Yeah?" Axel sniffed, looking up.
"Take me to a hospital, 'Kay?" Roxas said, letting the foggy feeling sweep though him and take control.
"Wha-?" Axel began, but stopped as Roxas fell backwards, hitting the cold concrete.
"Roxas!" Axel cried, grabbing his fallen beloved. Axel watched Roxas for a moment.
Axel's eyes widened in horror as he discovered the Roxas wasn't moving.
"Roxas! Wake up!" Axel screamed desperately. Axel soon realized after shaking Roxas for awhile, that he was breathing.
Axel sighed deeply with relief.
"But why take him to a hospital?" Axel thought aloud, "He's not sick…is he?"
Axel ran his eyes along Roxas' small body. Upon gazing at the boy's wrists, he gaped in horror.
Roxas' wrist were covered in blood, almost completely torn open, ragged flesh was still hanging from the wounds. Roxas had attempted suicide by cutting himself!
Axel gagged and immediately picked up Roxas bridal-style and began sprinting in a random direction, hoping there would be a hospital.
To be continued…
One of my friends read this and laughed, she thought the bridal-style thing was funny.
Any way, I know it was short and rushed but it will get better, I promise! Hopefully…
