Goodbye

Summary: Someone's got to say it, it might as well be me...RoxasSora

Starry's Corner: Since I'm a nice person, who was totally bored one night, I decided to add another one-shot to the mix. I had wanted to wait a little longer to see if I could get some more reviews, but I grew impatient and was struck with an idea for the song "Goodbye" by Everlife as requested by shrouded-obsession. Remember to review, I appreciate it when you add my stories to your favorites, but at least drop me a line in a review telling why you liked it. Also, keep requesting songs for future one-shots and for all those interested, check my bio page for a link back to my fanfiction journal on livejournal. There you can read exclusive one-shots from this series that are only posted there!

"I'm better off
Just pretending like I never really knew you
I gotta stop
Holding hands with a memory I'm feeling"

Sora sighed gently as he was tugged along the sidewalk, his boyfriend holding his hand as they walked along on a chilly September afternoon on their way to the local coffee shop to indulge in a steaming cup of hot chocolate. He had been noticing something as of late and...it bothered him. Slightly.

He had been with his boyfriend for two years. Two wonderful years. But, something had been lacking as of late. It seemed as though the passion Sora had become so accustomed to had disappeared from their relationship. It unnerved him. Slightly.

True. He loved his boyfriend to pieces. But, maybe...just maybe he was in love with him anymore? Maybe things could have turned out different if he had never taken that extra class that he shared with Roxas. Where they first met. Maybe it would have been easier.

"Sora? Did you hear me, baby?"

The brunet blinked, looking over at his lover, "Uh? What was that, Roxas?" He asked. Yes, something was definitely off. Because, he could remember how he used to practically hang off every word Roxas said.

The blond frowned, "I asked you if you wanted to go to a movie Friday." He repeated before pulling open the cafe door they came upon.

Sora heaved another sigh and gave the same answer he had given for the past two years, "Sure."

"I gotta say
Something's different about the way I see you lately
You feel the same
I can see it in your eyes our thing is changing"

He wasn't sure when it happened. Hell, he wasn't even fully sure when he first noticed it. But, there was just something different about them. At first, it was small things. Predictable. Unimportant little things. But, then he realized that those were the things that made the relationship so wonderful in the past.

Something was...gone. Missing. Maybe it had been missing throughout the whole relationship, he had just never realized it because he had been too wrapped up in his little brunet lover with eyes that shine like the sky.

He just loved Sora so damned much. He didn't want to let go. He couldn't. But...maybe, it was the only thing that could save them.

"Fifteen dollars for two damn tickets!" Sora said, twitching lightly as he shook his head, turning to look at the blond haired boy that followed him, "And, the movie wasn't even that good!"

Roxas smiled softly. A bit forced. A bit fake. It didn't reach his eyes. It made Sora frown when he looked over at him. That's when Roxas knew that Sora felt the same way as he did now.

But, knowing that little piece of information didn't make him feel any better about what had to be done. It would hurt. God...it'd hurt like hell. He really did love the little brunet.

"Can you feel it breaking into pieces underneath
Someone's gotta say it
It might as well be me
Goodbye, it wasn't right this time
Goodbye"

Blue locked on blue. Something flashed between both pairs of eyes. They pulled away. Sitting side by side on Sora's loveseat in his living room. Half past ten. His parents were already fast asleep. Normally, the couple would be well on their way to third base by now. But, something was different. And, that something needed to be said.

"Roxas, have you noticed something different between us?" Sora asked softly, not able to meet the other's eyes, instead he stared at his hands that laid in his lap.

"Something missing?" Roxas replied softly, leaning back in the couch after placing an arm behind Sora.

"Someone has to say it." Sora said after a moment of silence passed between the two, risking a glance as he turned to look at the blond.

"It might as well be me."

Sora turned to look at his boyfriend, "Goodbye."

I...really don't think I did the song justice. But, I did the best I could with never actually hearing the song before I wrote this fic. I must admit I've become quite attached to the song and am looking forward to exploring more of Everlife's work in the future. Don't forget to send in those requests, next time let's make the song a little less angsty!
