I finished this one soo long ago. It was a lot of fun writing AkuRokuSo xD

Anyway this one's theme is: Breath Again

So do enjoy the epic shortness P:

Disclaimer: Xigbar's fast and keeps taunting me while he stands upside down D: but I will persevere! I own only the story. (:

Your lips… they're not the same. Your hair, your body, your taste. It's just… not the same.

Why is it so different when he's supposed to be a part of you? But then again he never was to me, he was always a person of his own. He was my somebody no matter how much he denied it, because deep down he was starting to believe it too. Please make it feel the same again, stop the heart that isn't there from breaking, sew it up, make it right.

Please.

"Axel," no, I can't hear you say my name like that, so I stopped and panted for breath, my eyes and cheeks as wet with tears as yours are. You didn't want that kiss, you already have someone you care about so much, it was all out of pity because you know how I'm feeling, you saw it in my eyes, the pain I wasn't supposed to feel but I do.

I'm hurting.

"Why is it so different?" I squeezed my eyes shut, hiding it by burying myself in your shoulder, though you probably feel the warm tears on your skin. "Sora, why?" No one has the answer, but god I wish they did.

Rubbing your fingers through my hair doesn't make it better, it's not comforting, maybe if it was him… it would be, I know it would be. But he'd never do something like that in the first place, just tell me I'm being an idiot and turn away from me to hide that knowing smile that I'd go running after him. "I'm sorry," it was a genuine apology, though I should have been the one apologising, it was me who cornered you in the world that never was, me who pushed you against the wall and made sure you couldn't escape from me, made you let me kiss you because I'm so desperate to be with him again. "Roxas loves you Axel," and the tears just keep rolling.

"I'm nothing without him Sora, less than a nobody, I exist for him, now what do I do?" There was only one answer. Disappear.

"Don't even think about it." That voice, I couldn't mistake it anywhere, but it was still Sora… no. This wasn't Sora, that smile, it was Roxas'.

"Roxas," I squeezed the brunet, closing my eyes so it was easier to pretend. "Where have you been?" The scoff was the same as always and I could see him roll his eyes in my mind, it made me smile.

"Searching for a few things. I finally found you." He gripped my cloak with the wrong arms but it felt like him, it was him.

"You should have stayed, I've missed you so much."

"I'm sorry," the sadness in Roxas' voice broke my invisible heart all over again. We both knew why he was sorry. "You know what this means don't you?" I could only nod, words would betray me or at least my voice would. "You don't have to say it, but I do."

"Please don't," my grip tightened, pulling the other body closer to mine desperate to feel that warmth he used to give me, "please. Just stay here a while longer," I was begging, though it was different from the way it used to be, this time it was desperation, not need or want, I was desperate to keep him here.

"Axel," his voice rang through me and pulled at my chest. I didn't want this. "I want you to kiss me, forget that it's Sora, just kiss me."

No. Everything was screaming no, because this kiss would be the last before he'd leave forever. But if I said no, I'd never kiss him again, he couldn't stay with me even if I did refuse. So I kissed him. Kissed him like I used to, the way we always did, with so much meaning and love.

It was his smile again when I opened my eyes, the eyes were the same, they'd never change. "Goodbye, Axel. I love you," he whispered as the body in my arms collapsed lifelessly onto me.

"I will always love you, Roxas," I said with a smile, lying Sora's body on the ground to sleep, his face was so peaceful, just like yours Roxas, and now…

I can breath again.

A/N: I'm going straight onto the next one lol that's Memory.

Please review!
