The review button is feeling lonely... Read and review, please?
Disclaimers: Kingdom Hearts is not mine, though the idea is. Who knows, I may just develop this further when it finishes and publish it. :)
Part Twenty-One: Eavesdropping
Didgood, you'vedonewell!
Giggles in my ears, knowing what I had just done but the images of the man's life that I had no right to look through still flashed through my mind. The grim knowledge of knowing his heart and soul, the thoughts that made him think he was a horrible person made me feel sick to my stomach. Hysterical laughter as I watched the man lying in the middle of the road.
I thought maybe he was listening.
Watching as his friends came to get him, woke him up from his dazed state. The boy with the blond hair bent down and hugged him as tight as humanely possible. Lea grabbed him too, pressed his face to the boy's as he began to cry and explain that he had taken my gift. From the way he held onto the boy, I thought I could tell that he almost never cried in front of people. The boy stroked his hair, whispered soothingly to him like his words were a lullaby, let him cry into his shoulder when they started to help. I wished I could hear them. A girl with red hair and the boy she was half-dragging behind her spoke quietly, demanding answers that he didn't have.
They called him Axel. He called them Roxas, Kairi, and Riku respectively; he spoke mostly to Roxas. The name tasted like acid on my tongue. I kept laughing because they didn't peek into the shadows. They couldn't see me.
They didn't find the golden eyes staring at them, waiting for Axel to be alone again.
