AN:Okay, this story was a request from Cele Airrie and Demon Star so it is not gonna be my usual complete insanity. My certifiably insane friend had asked for a Cloud/Axel fic based on the words 'power' and 'control' and containing my idiotic character Heart once again so here you are Cele, this is your very late birthday present. This is gonna be a chapter about OC Heart's insanity and then a two shot but I may continue if people really like it, so as far as I have decided so far this will have three chapters. Oh, and because I have not finished playing KH2 I really don't know much about the worlds in it so I just stuck them in a new world that I created so don't hate me. Disclaimer: I own myself and my silliness and nothing else.
Warning: This is MxM. No like-y then no read-y idiots, if you do read something having been warned that it contained something you did not want to read then you really need to get a life. Pairing: CloudxAxel
Summary: Reno dumps Cloud for Roxas who never really had more than friendship with Axel. Roxas leaves with Reno to go back to the world that Reno and Cloud originally from. Axel, depressed that his friend left, is living alone in the World That Never Was. What happens when the Nobody nutcase, Heart, returns to the World That Never Was and decides to take Axel on a field trip to a place he has not been before?
AN: And one more thing, I know that the World That Never Was pretty much got destroyed in the end of KH2 but because this is connected to my other rewrite of Kingdom Hearts(Predators and Heartless) the world is not destroyed because of a few characters coming together and pulling some badass tricks. That is also the reason that Axel is still there.
The Nutcase's Field Trip Idea
Axel's POV
"Oh Axel," called a sweet singsong voice but it was plainly obvious in the tone that it was no sweet child calling the name. It could be none other than the psychotic Nobody that had nearly ruined everything with his crazy childlike fascination with lights and colors. Axel blinked and opened his eyes to the depressingly white room and he contemplated running. Meeting the psychotic Nobody again was something he had never wanted but at the same time never dreaded, as if he even knew what dread was without his heart to explain his fears. Axel smiled slightly and there was a slight evil layer to the look, it might be nice to have a color obsessed hyperactive psycho to brighten up the dull, boring white.
The door to the room slammed open even though Axel knew the young Nobody could have just as easily appeared directly into the room instead of the library and then walking to the room where Axel sat. Heart stood in the doorway with his bright red, green, and blue ringed eyes glittering without a trace of malice. "What you doing back in a place like this Heart? I would have thought the white wasn't to your liking being the color obsessed psycho you are." Axel raised an eyebrow as Heart's smile vanished in the blink of an eye to be replaced by a cold, dead look. Heart hated the castle and Axel knew it but it was fun to bring out the legendary mood swings of the false member of Organization XIII.(my OC, Heart, is a Nobody who worked with the Organization only to stave off boredom and in my story also almost destroyed all of the worlds with his idiotic curiosity and knack for destroying things.)
Heart's face changed again in an instant, "Wait, what were we talking about again?" Axel sighed, "Nothing Heart, I just wondered why you came." Heart's eyes widened in understanding and then his face went blank as he struggled to recall something else, "I can't remember; I came to…I don't know why I came." Axel rolled his eyes and let out a frustrated breath, "Sometimes I'm surprised you can even remember your own name." Heart tilted his head and then pulled the sleeve of his black coat, similar to that of the Organizations' in appearance, up his arm a little to show Axel where words were tattooed onto his arm. Heart's arm read, 'Name: Heart, Age: Indefinite, Race: Unknown, Species: Nobody/Human, Number: VII XV' in bold black letters. Axel sighed, "I forgot about that."
Heart smiled sheepishly, "What were we talking about again?" Axel raised his hands in mock prayer, "Please somebody, anybody would you fix this kids brain." Heart flushed slightly, "Oh shut up." Axel dropped his hands, "I asked why you were here." Heart nodded as though he had remembered, Axel knew he had not, and then pulled out his thick diary and unlocked it swiftly before flipping through the last few pages he had written, "Oh, so that's what happened?" Axel crossed his arms as he forced himself to stand, "What? What happened?" Heart smiled, "I found a place I want to go and I need an adult to go with." Axel groaned, the kid was older than him in reality but his mind was so childish as was his appearance that he needed supervision wherever he went. Heart continued, "I asked everyone but I kept forgetting who I'd already asked and I accidentally asked Riku four times and he got really mad."
Axel could easily imagine the silver haired boy reactions to the ever-annoying memory loss problem of the psycho Nobody and he felt himself smile. "Where's Roxas by the way?" Heart asked as he noticed the name in his diary. Despite that his company could hardly remember more than two seconds of conversation at a time Axel was glad that the person who he first saw after his closest friend left to be with the redhead that seemed almost like his twin. Roxas had left with Reno a few months previously and since then Axel had sat alone and stared, occasionally reading or eating. Heart was easy to talk to for three reasons; one was that he could not remember things for more than a few seconds so you did not have to worry about saying something embarrassing or a secret, two was that Heart had had his fair share of experiences in life and even if they effected his memory afterwards he could still clearly recollect the first few years of his life as a Nobody and thus was very helpful, and three he never laughed at a person no matter how embarrassing their story was.
When he tried Heart could be the kindest person in existence but he only tried for a few people and Axel felt privileged to be one of those few. Heart's soft voice brought him out of his thoughts, "What happened Axel? Why are you alone?" Axel sighed, Heart would not soon forget because as Axel new better than anyone, when Heart deemed a situation to be serious he could concentrate and remember things quite well. The strange thing about Heart was that, even being a Nobody, the one thing he took seriously was emotions while he laughed at heartless and monsters. Axel smiled slightly, he wanted to tell Heart, "He left with his new boyfriend, some guy called Reno." Heart walked over and grabbed Axel's arm and a shadowy portal appeared before them, "You know what you need, you need the beach. Come on." The next thing Axel knew Heart was dragging him through the unnaturally colorful portal into the soft, warm sunlight of another world. As soon as the light hit them Heart unzipped his black cloak and let it slide off until it was hanging around his elbows.
Axel blinked in the yellowish light and realized for the first time just how my he truly had missed the colors of the world during his self imposed exile to the world that never was. Axel smiled to himself and he looked down at Heart who seemed to be debating wether or not to take of his black cloak and Axel noticed that the smaller Nobody's tastes had changed quite a bit since the fiasco in the World That Never Was. No longer did Heart dress in the brilliant toxic green and black that he had favored before, now he had added brilliant red ribbons tied around his upper arms in bows over his black button up shirt. His tie was no longer green but a brilliant royal blue, the buttons on his shirt were all brilliant acidic orange, and the black pattern that weaved down the outside seems of his green pants was intermixed with neon yellow. Heart had even gone so far as to tie a thick purple ribbon a couple of times around his neck, Axel could not help but wonder if the boy's color fixation had anything to do with living alone in the unused part of the Castle That Never Was with the only color apart from the white of the castle and the black of the Organization cloths was his brilliant tricolored eyes.
Axel looked in the direction that Heart's eyes were fixed as the Nobody restrained himself and fought to stay still as he pulled his cloak back on and zipped it up. Sighing Axel crossed his arms, Heart had always been one for following orders, it was the reason that Axel had struggled so desperately to make the Nobody help him instead of being Xemnas's slave. Axel watched the waves break over the beach in front of them, "You don't have to wait for me to let you go ya know." Heart still hesitated as they stood at the very edge of the small clump of palm trees beside what seemed to be some sort of beachside restaurant. Axel shook his head, "It isn't any fun if you don't bend the orders and do what ya want sometimes. Ah whatever, go on and have some fun at the beach kid but don't be wearing that cloak around in broad daylight. Organization members aren't welcome in the world anymore as what we used to be even if you and I still are," Axel shook his head defeatedly. It was true that while Heart's idiotic medaling had returned some of the organization members to being regular humans with hearts while a few simply faded the even had left both Heart and Axel as they had been before.
They were stronger than before in terms of their limits as to using their powers but they were still just Nobodies without hearts. Heart had unzipped his coat and taken it off once more but this time he took it off completely and folded it before placing it on the ground and straightening.
Axel had not moved as he stood watching the see with his arms still crossed over his chest and Heart tried to hide hide dark scheming smile so like Axel's own as he watched the redheaded Nobody. Axel saw the smirk and immediately recognized it for what it meant and then managed to murmur, "Oh crap I better get running, shouldn't I?" Heart's smirk widened as Axel spoke and the next thing Axel knew the teen had tackled him and they were rolling around on the ground. Heart squeaked excitedly and his smile grew as Axel played the game and did not overpower Heart and push him off as Heart managed to steal Axel's cloak and then force a large black t-shirt over his head. Axel stared down at the shirt, "Heart? Where did you get this thing it's huge?" Heart smiled darkly, "I got it from Xaldin and it isn't the only thing I managed to snag, you want to see what else I got?" Axel sat up and glared at Heart, "No and why in the world are you stealing Xaldin's things? I thought you weren't supposed to be a kleptomaniac anymore."
Heart giggled like a little girl and buried his face into Axel's chest as he continued to laugh, "Says the person who claims he isn't a pyromaniac anymore and then lights grass on fire." Axel glanced at the smoldering grass, "Whatever. Can you get off me now cuddle monster?" Heart nodded and got up followed closely by Axel who stretched as he watched Heart wander around a palm tree. It was true that along with his kleptomaniac tendencies and his pitiful memory heart also had a cuddling problem. It would have been a huge problem if Heart ever grew up because it would be uncomfortable if a full grown man hugged someone he barley knew who did not know about Heart's cuddle problems but as things were Heart never grew and it was a Hell of a lot easier to not look like an idiot cuddling people when you were a kid.
Axel studied Heart suspiciously, "You aren't planing on trying to get me in the water, are you?" Heart's eyes turned deadly and his smile turned dark and plotting as he laughed insanely, "All in good time dear little pyro, all in good time." Axel shivered slightly at the tone in Heart's voice, the young Nobody could be one hell of a terrifying creep when he wanted to be and put even Vexen's messed up laugh to shame. Axel chose not to point out that compared to Heart he was not very little; no one had ever actually fought Heart because he never finished a fight but taunted people until they lost their cool and then left so Axel had no idea if he could beat the psychotic Nobody but he had no drive to find out. "So what are we gonna do now?" Axel questioned, still feeling suspicious he tried to keep his face blank as he asked the question. Heart's face returned to its normal playful smile but the soft glow in his eyes warned Axel that Heart was still serious and his memory would not fail him for a while.
"We're going to get some food so this tummy'll shut up," Heart explained, rubbing his stomach for emphasis. Axel sighed, "Fine but I don't have any munny." Heart shook his head, "No worries, Xaldin's closet wasn't the only thing I raided." Without another word Heart opened a small portal and threw their black cloaks through it and then dragged Axel away from the cover of the palm trees. "It's gonna be a fun field trip so lighten up," Heart squeaked excitedly as he dragged Axel into the beachside restaurant and shoved the munny into Axel's pocket. The waitress smiled at them as Heart babbled and Axel ignored him and then seated them at an empty booth in the back corner. They sat down as the waiter asked for their orders; Heart immediately ordered a lemonade for Axel and then a vanilla shake for himself and after begging the waiter to put colorful gummy bears and sprinkles in it the man left looking amused.
Axel rolled his eyes as Heart jumped up and vanished telling Axel that he wanted to go play in the water while they waited for the drinks. Axel dropped his head on the table, it was Heart's plan all along, drag him to the beach and then disappear until Axel went home on his own. Heart wanted to get him away from the past and he had to admit that the younger Nobody sure as hell had succeeded and Axel knew that he would not see Heart again for a long time and that the younger Nobody would even go so far as to snag the shake before the waiter came to the table so he would not see Axel again. Heart was a good friend but he was forceful and had no patience with someone who sat around moping in a deserted castle all the time. Axel's eyes widened as realization hit; Heart had not chosen Axel to be the one he brought to the beach because everyone else refused, heart chose him to force him back out into the worlds.
"That little creep," Axel murmured and then jumped as someone lightly brushed his shoulder. "Um, do you mind if I sit with you? Everywhere else is completely full," a soft voice asked and Axel glanced around in surprise. His eyes locked with bright blue surrounded by spiky blond hair that stuck up even more than Roxas's had. "Sure," Axel murmured and the other man smiled as he sat down across from Axel and set his glass, of what looked like orange juice accept for the intensity of the orange, on the table. The other smiled slightly and held out his hand, "My name's Cloud, it's nice to meet you." Axel stared at the hand for a second and then reached over and shook it, "The name's Axel." Cloud seemed reluctant to let go of Axel's hand and Axel felt so flustered at the elongated contact that he forgot his catch phrase completely. Cloud's smile brightened, "Nice to meat you Axel."
Hope you like-y my story so far Cele. Right, part one done and onto part two. Heart will not be in this story much more if at all so don't worry about me forgetting who the main characters are supposed to be. I just love his character so much; ALL HAIL THE BIPOLAR FORGETFUL PSYCHOTIC KLEPTOMANIAC! BOW BEFORE THE NUT JOBS OF THE UNIVERSE PEOPLES!
