Xion tucked a tuft of dark hair behind her ear and imagined a red headed girl doing the same as she watched a message in a bottle float out to sea. She frowned. Why did she feel like this was something that would happen soon? She thought of her strange memories and glimpses of the future and past. She thought of her memories of her two friends, Axel and Roxas. Was it wrong, what they were doing?
Riku had told Xion what men and women did when they were in love, and only a small portion of what men and men or women and women did together. She still didn't really understand. But Roxas and Axel weren't in love. They couldn't be because they didn't have hearts. But was that true? The organization told her as much, but Riku said most of what they told her was a lie. Who was she supposed to believe?
Xion sat down on the warm sand and cluthed her throbbing head tighly. If only her creator, Vexen, were here, He could tell her what was wrong with her. Maybe he could help Roxas too.
Where could Xion be? Roxas spent most of his free time after missions looking for his missing friend. How many worlds had he searched already? He'd lost count. This was so tiring! He felt bad for his other friend, Axel. Well, he thought he was his friend.
Before Xion left, Axel had started to act a little strange. He started doing things to Roxas that no one else did. He would hold his hand or kiss him or smile in a weird way. When Roxas questioned it, Axel would tell him that's what friends did. Roxas was usually very gullable, but he knew Axel well enough to know that he was hiding something. Besides, him and Xion were friends and they didn't do that.
He always felt a weird fluttery feeling in his stomach when Axel did things like that. was that good or bad? Feeling. Don't you need a heart for that?
Roxas frowned and rubbed at his aching temples. Where could she be?
Axel shook his head and frowned. Where was that damn girl? Everything was so messed up. How much shit was he going to heve to hide from everyone? Xion and Roxas didn't understand, Saix was suspicious, Marluxia was dead, Namine escaped, ARGH! How was he supposed to concentrate on finding this girl when everything else was so fucked over? And why did he keep calling her 'that girl'? Xion was his friend, wasn't she?
No. Roxas was his friend. That's why Xion occasionally crossed his mind. But those were both lies, weren't they?
Axel couldn't deny that Xion was an anomally of sorts, and made him...almost feel...guilt? As for Roxas...he made him feel like he had a heart. Like he could love something. And he was certainly trying to, but that was impossible. Right?
Axel stopped short when he saw a familiar mess of blonde spikes wandering Twilight Town. Damn, it almost felt real.
Everything was so messed up.
