AN- Sorry... I didn't realize that I hadn't deleted all the story until the third chapter... Please forgive me!! I was wondering why the chapter was so much longer than the other two chapters...
Chapter 3: No More Pain
I walked past the door to my room and made my way out into the courtyard. I was running by the time I made it halfway across. I weaved my way down through the endless halls until I came across the training room. I summoned both my keyblades as heartless came flying towards me. In swift motions, I hit every one without getting a scratch. I stopped when I felt the point of something on the back of my neck. I froze. I didn't want to provoke whoever was threatening to kill me.
"Calm down." the voice said. A guy's. Soft, cool, and comforting. It sounded familiar but I refused to listen to what my mind was screaming at me. Demyx stepped out from the shadows and into view so that I could see him from my position. He crossed his arms behind his back and stared at me in a way that was alarming to me.
"You're crying..." was the first thing Demyx said to me. I reached a hand up to my eyes and realized that I was. I looked away, furious at myself for crying in the open like this. I heard the sound of metal crashing on the floor and I felt someone grab me around the shoulders in a hug. Their mouth was resting against my hair. Their scent was so familiar... but I refused to remember who's it was.
"Please Roxas... this isn't a dream... for once, believe that it's real."the so familiar and so painful voice whispered next to my ear. I closed my eyes and the tears rolled down my cheeks. I kept silent and wouldn't respond. I knew who it was. I also knew that I was going to wake up any moment, realizing again the painful truth. The person let me go and I didn't catch what they said to Demyx, but I heard someone's footsteps and a door close. I opened my eyes and saw Axel, standing across from me with a serious expression on his face.
"This is all a dream. It always ends when I actually believe that it may be real. I'm not going to be hurt again. Never again. I don't want to remember!! Never!!" I screamed at him. He kept his serious expression and never even twitched.
"It was your wishing for me back that even brought me back in the first place." Axel said through gritted teeth in an angry tone. Good. I hope he was getting angry and hurt.
"I never wanted you back!! Just go away!!" I screamed at him, my voice cracking.
"You're lying, and you and I both know it!!" Axel yelled back at me. I glared at him furiously through tears. I wanted to believe that it was the truth so that this dream would end. He walked up to me so that his face was only a few inches from mine.
"How would you like me to prove that this isn't a dream?! Huh?!" Axel hissed. I only stared back, so tempted to kiss him. But the same thing would happen as last time.
"I don't know!! Why don't you think of a way?!" I hissed back. His eyes narrowed and he grabbed my face under my chin with both of his hands and pulled me up into a kiss. His eyes were closed and mine closed soon afterwards. This dream was going to end soon. It had to. Axel pulled away and he looked intent on something. I could feel the expression on my face. The look of longing and deep hurt and sadness.
"Was that convincing enough?"Axel said as he still held my face in his hands. I pressed my face into one of his hands and felt the warmth coming from it. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around his neck and rested my head on his chest. I listened. There was no heartbeat. We both were nobodies. We had no hearts.
"Yes..." was all I whispered in response as I leaned up and kissed him again. He dove into the kiss and I pulled him as close as possible, so afraid to let go. So afraid that if I did let go, he would disappear again.
"I'm never leaving you again..." I heard Axel whisper in between kisses and my body relaxed a little. He lifted me into his arms and before I knew it, we were in my room. He rested me down in the bed and leaned me back. Without missing one kiss I might add. I could feel his hands slipping down my jacket and unzipping it. I did the same process to him. He already had gotten my jacket and shirt off and was working at my pants by the time I had gotten his jacket off. He paused from me and helped get his short off. He began kissing down my neck and onto my collar bone.
"Promise you'll never leave again?" I asked, stopping him for a moment so that he could look at me. His eyes softened at my question and a small smile played across his lips.
"Promise..."he replied and he kissed me on the lips. I smiled against his lips and he smiled too. I knew that he was telling the truth. He only smiles like that when he is telling the truth. He continued what he was doing until Demyx came storming into my room. Both me and Axel froze in the position that we were in, very awkward for an onlooker. We both still had our boxers and jeans on. Demyx looked like he was going to cry.
"I hate you both!!" was all he screeched at us and then went running out of the room covering his face. Axel looked at me and I looked back. The same thought passed through both our minds. We got off of each other and went running after Demyx.
"What do you think is wrong with him?" I said under my breath and we ran.
"I have no idea... but I think we're about to find out..." Axel replied as we came to a screeching halt in front of a water dragon with Demyx perched on top.
