"I wanted…" the redhead didn't even bother to glance at the brunette. "To see Roxas."
Sora's eyes widened what, both the thought and the action weren't his own. He felt a sudden and unexplainable pain in his chest, like his heart had just been crushed for no reason. Incoherent whispers filled his head, rushing and all at once, like retuning memories. Axel closed his eyes. He was quiet for a long time.
