A/N: Insomnia struck again last night. This one came to me at 12:20. The song is View from Heaven by Yellowcard. It usually makes me want to cry.
Disclaimer: There is a can of 'Ready-to-Decorate Icing' sitting on the desk in front of me. Hmm…I wonder…
Warning: Most people know the ins and outs of KHII even if they haven't played the game but just as a precaution. This story focuses around a spoiler.
View from Heaven
I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep?
You were sent on a simple mission. Stop the Keyblade Master. Since you turned your back on the Organization, the Dusks worked against you.
And fly through my dreams
So I can catch a ride with you tonight
Even accompanied by Sora and friends, you were still in to deep. You told me you would come back. You promised, Axel, but you just had to play hero.
And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I was told you put your entire being into a single attack just to save the others. What an idiot. Sora may be my Somebody but you mean so much more to me.
I just ain't the same without you in my life
What could have made you do that? Maybe Sora's resemblance to me?
Late night drives
All alone in my car
I can't help but start
Singin' lines from all our favorite songs
I was told you went with a smile on your face and sarcasm dripping from your words. I didn't expect any less from you.
And melodies in the air
Singin' life just ain't fair
Sometimes I still just can't believe you're gone
Why couldn't I have been there? Damn it all, Sora is no replacement for me. He's so naïve. He actually believed that you would live through something like that. You're both idiots.
And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
I probably would have tried to persuade you not to leave, too.
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through
One more year down here
What the hell am I supposed to do now, Axel? I never talked to the others because you were all I needed. You never thought before you did anything. I could never read you well enough to be prepared for anything you did. Maybe that's what drew me to you.
I feel your fire when it's could in my heart
Reminding me of my last night with you
Why'd you leave me alone?
I only need one more day
Just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too
After you told me you loved me I thought, 'Fuck Xemnas. I don't have to have a heart to love.' I was told once that love is forever so why did you go?
And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
You also told me that Nobodies don't have afterlives. Liar.
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
I went back to your room just to lie in your bed. The pillow was still damp from your wet hair. You had to come get me out of the rain again.
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye
I rolled over to the side of the bed that I had designated as mine long ago and buried my face in the damp pillow. Sadness is an emotion, isn't it? Because I let out all of mine. I started crying and finally stopped when my chest burned and tears refused to fall. Even when you're not here you still keep me warm.
And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
What do I do now, Axel? I snapped at Demyx when he tried to comfort me. I don't think I should have. He believes we have hearts, you know? I guess he can't be too bad.
I hope that all is well in heaven
'Cause it's all shot to hell down here
I hope that I find you in heaven
'Cause I'm so lost without you down here
I'm not following Xemnas' orders anymore. If it gets me killed I don't care. Until then I'll see what Demyx wants. He never shuts up.
You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye
I really wish I got to say goodbye
I'll talk to you later, Axel. Oh one more thing, I love you too.
