Chapter 6: Love of your life
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(Roxas)
I woke up with still a depressed feeling. I wasn't so sure anymore about my 'I'll commit suicide' idea, so Axel could be relieved.
A yawn escaped my lips. I stared at the clock. I slept like seven hours. That wasn't much, but enough to get back to reality. Kairi would be happy with Sora. I would drown myself into sadness with Axel. Jay. And life went on.
I growled angrily and stomped through the room. Axel shouted from the living room. "Roxas! What did you say?"
I was sarcastic again. "That life screwed me"
Axel laughed. "You said that like seven hours ago as well"
Tears started to build up. I was so mad at myself that I threw a pillow through the room. A lamp on the desk fell into pieces. Axel shouted again. "Hey! You're allowed to break my stuff, but you are going to pay for it, pal"
I growled again. I took my pillow and threw it again so far as possible away from me, breaking a vase standing in the corner.
I stood there, crying again. Axel heard and his voice sounded softer. "Why don't you take a shower?"
"Because I'm wet enough" I said while rubbing the tears away.
I waited until my 'crying part' was over, then I opened the door and walked straight to the couch, before I realized there were more people in the room than only Axel. I turned slowly and I didn't believe what I saw. My eyes widened when I recognized Sora and… Kairi.
Kairi had purple shadows under her eyes and her eyes were a bit red, like she had cried too. When I came out she stood up from a chair and ran to me. I stepped back, but she wrapped her arms around my neck and hugged me. I didn't respond, how much I wanted to do, but I couldn't. My brain was frozen.
"Roxas…" she whispered in my neck, bringing me back to reality again. I hesitated, but wrapped my arms around her too. "Kairi… I-"
I tried to get my hands of her back, but instead of getting them away, they moved to her waist, making her sink more and more into my chest.
"Kairi, you don't-"
She moved from my shoulder and looked me in my eyes. She laid her finger on my lips. "No"
I couldn't say anything and waited for her to say something or somebody else making an end to our hug.
"Roxas…" she hesitated. I looked down, quite sure I didn't want to hear what was coming.
"I love you"
(Kairi)
"I love you" I said with a soft voice. It was time he knew it.
His eyes shot back to mine and they widened. He seemed speechless.
His eyes were still red from all the crying he did and his sky blue eyes were confused.
I felt my face turn pale. "You don't believe me?"
He held his head to the side. "I do, but-"
A silence fell, Axel didn't knew what to think, and Sora looked both happy and sad. Roxas shook his head, like he wanted to shake the hesitation out of his head. Axel chuckled under his breath and Sora watched us.
And Roxas… looked back in my eyes.
"I love you too"
(Roxas)
"I love you too" I said, still a bit shy.
Kairi rested her head against my shoulder again. "That's all I wanted to hear"
I held her closer, so afraid of losing her. She was the love of my life and if I ever lost her again, I would… be nothing.
I saw over her shoulder Sora getting up. I quickly let go of Kairi, no matter how much that hurt, but Sora was still my best friend, after all.
Kairi frowned when I let go of her, but when she turned and saw Sora, she snorted a bit while she stepped back.
I watched him walk toward me. He looked to the ground. "Roxas… I'm sorry, man… I really am…"
He looked up. "But honestly dude, you've got serious problems! Such a drama!"
I laughed. "That's what happens if you have a heart, dude. Thought you would know already"
Sora grinned his old grin again. "Sure, pal. But I bet you can't win from High School Musical (A/N nothing against HSM! xD)"
I felt my brow raise. "Well, you were kind of pathetic too back there, bro"
Axel sighed and turned to me. "Roxas?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to burn you"
"Meep" I wrung out my throat.
Axel got up and sighed. He held out his finger and a flame danced on it. I watched it with raising horror. "A-Axel, y-you… n-no! You can't just b-b-burn me like that!"
Sora held his stomach from laughter, and Kairi watched Axel wary.
Axel snorted. "You made me realize that you haven't asked her yet…"
I staggered back. Come on, Roxas! Act like you're actually a man!
A grin reached Axel's face. Suddendly I stopped walking backwards. I narrowed my eyes. "You really going to burn me because I didn't ask?"
Axel nodded, while watching his flame. "Unless you ask her now?"
I took a deep breath and looked around Axel, to Kairi. "Kairi?"
She held her head to the side. "Yeah Roxas?"
"Want to be my girlfriend?"
She stared at me and I cursed Axel under my breath. "Well, please say yes, or I'll get burned"
Kairi suddendly laughed. "Did you expect anything else? Of course I want!"
I smiled, looking back at Axel. He pouted. "Can I please burn you?"
Kairi shook her head. "Nope. I think it's my turn, don't you think?"
Sora chuckled evilly. "All yours"
Axel looked at him. "May I burn you?"
Sora wanted to say something, but Axel burned him. "Must hurt" I mumbled, while Kairi pulled me toward the bedroom.
She sat down on the bed and I started to throw my stuff into one place.
"Roxas?"
"Hm?"
"Where you serious when you asked me or did you just didn't want to get burned?" There was a smile in her voice and I turned to her.
"Of course I was serious"
She smiled at me.
"So, where you serious when you said yes or did you just didn't want me to get burned?" I asked her with a grin.
"Of course I was serious" She replied with a chuckle. She got up and walked to me, hugging me again.
"Hugging a burned guy is kind of painful" she chuckled.
I laughed too. "Yeah, what if my jeans were still on fire?"
She crinkled her nose. "Autsh"
We laughed together.
Then I rested my head in her hair. Yup, she really was the love of my life. She would be that. Forever.
