This was the end of the story.

I sat there, hands pounding and fingers gripping at Axel's chest. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't be.

"Don't lie there dying with that stupid grin on your face!" I remember screaming through the tears. It was painful.

And I felt that empty feeling come back.

"Hey Roxas. I'm not gonna die." His bloody black glove touched my face, I grabbed his hand, no, I didn't want to let him go. I couldn't say anything, he was going to die and I knew it.

He lay amidst shrapnel with weapons scattered across the floor. The occasional flame flickering on any object. I kneeled next to him, breaking piece by piece as I stared at his face. His expression was like it had been any day before. Smug.

My mouth twisted into a desperate smile. I couldn't be happy.

"Roxas…" he practically gasped, eyes fluttering. "What'll happen to me when I die… as a nobody?" I wanted to convince myself he wouldn't die, that he'd stay. But it was impossible.

I laid my head on his chest, Axel was warm, his once erratic heartbeat slow substantially. He was going to leave me. "I don't know Axel. I don't know." I grabbed at his chest again, his blood smearing on my fingers. The reality that I had tried avoid started to sink in. I was alone.

"Don't cry over me." Axel smiled again, chuckling but in the process he had spit up some of his own blood. But he reached up to my face and wiped away the tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Stop it!" I whispered. "Just shut up and stop talking." Again he laughed but I gripped his hand firmly and stared into his intense emerald eyes. He stopped talking. I saw my reflection in his gaze and I knew I wouldn't be able to do anything. I was helpless.

We sat there exchanging glance after glance, we knew what was coming. But, I think Axel would be better with his death than I would be. My face was still flushed from the battle, my eyes flickering from axel and the bodies lying only a few feet away.

"Don't forget about me okay?"

"I'd never forget about you Axel. Never." He leaned forward pales lips pressing against mine. It wasn't going to last. Running my hands through his fiery hair I felt him smile into my mouth. Everything had just slowed down, frame-by-frame moving by me and I couldn't stop it. Axel's hand slipped off of my face, falling backwards and landing on the cold ground slowly and intense green eyes fluttering to a close.

I had lost Axel, along with my sanity.

This was the end.

A/N: it's un-beta'd crap.

I know it didn't happen of course and I hope I didn't butcher the characters too much?

No flaming, reviews?

They make me wanna keep writing. 3
