Axel kicked off his boots as laid back down in his bed. It had been one hell of a night, but seeing the blonde asleep, safe and sound next to him made it seem well worth it.
Roxas had fallen asleep on their way back to The Castle that Never Was, but Axel hadn't minded carrying her at all. After they had returned, Axel had changed Roxas out of her torn up garment and into one of his T-shirts, after bandaging her wounds.
Axel sighed.
"You're a real pain in the ass," he grumbled. But he only half meant it. Roxas meant a lot to him, even after just a short time of two days. Maybe it was because she made him feel the same way that she had . . .
Axel turned over on his side, it had been ages since he had even thought of her
"The name's Kilixia! Got it memorized!?"
He chuckled at the memory, smiling, but the smile faded.
Kilixia had been the first No. 13 of the Organization, long before Roxas. But Kilixia . . . She had turned against the Organization and was ultimately killed by Saix.
Maybe. . . Maybe that was why he hated Saix so much. Because that bastard had taken away from him the one person who had ever truly made him feel like he had a heart. . .
Kilixia.
He loved her. Even if he didn't feel anything, like the Superior said, he had felt this strong desire to be with her. To hold her. . . To kiss her. . .
Roxas was making him feel the exact same thing.
And that's what was scaring him so much at that moment. . .
To lose her, and to lose those feelings all over again.

"Why are you doing this!? Don't you know what's going to happen to you if the Superior finds out!"

He had warned her. . .
-
-
-
-
"Because the Organization isn't what it's pretending to be! Xemnas doesn't want to help us get out hearts back, he just wants power!"

Those had been her final words. . .

Saix raised his claymore above his head, and Axel tried his best to stop him. But it was no use, Saix overpowered him. . .
The claymore flew down at full strength, sending Kilixia flying across the room. . .

And that was all he remembered. He had blacked out. But when he awoke, he heard the news that Kilixia had been destroyed.
He was surprised that Saix hadn't killed him then as well. Maybe it had been luck. . . If you could really call it that.
Roxas groaned in her sleep, snapping the red head out of his thoughts.
Axel turned over to see that Roxas had curled up into a ball beside him, shivering. He sighed, and pulled the girl close to him. Having fire as your element had a number of advantages, such as being your own personal heater for example. . .
"Roxas?"
The blonde continued to sleep peacefully, and had finally stopped shivering, scooting even closer to Axel.
Axel buried his face in Roxas's neck, closing his eyes, and fell asleep.

Hopefully you all understand why Axel is so touchy about people he cares about going against the Organization, which was hinted in an earlier chapter although I can't remember which one. XD But anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! More about Kilixia and Axel's relationship in future chapters! Read and review!
