Roxas… of all people. He had been honestly worried, his eyes as they looked at Axel, they were honestly filled with so much worry, they even seemed to get misty… Like he was nearly crying.
Nobodies didn't cry… And for him? Why would Roxas… Cry for him?
Axel was still puzzled over this as they were back at their old spot, eating their ice-cream… It was weird, thinking back at the last few days, at castle oblivion… It felt… Rather pointless. He didn't feel any satisfaction from managing to fulfill his plan… If he felt anything, it was guilt over having worried Roxas so much.
"Axel..." Roxas spoke quietly as they were sitting together with their ice-cream. "When they said you were gone… That you. Died." he closed his eyes. "It hurt… In here." he held a hand over his chest. "Why did it hurt?" he asked.
Axel looked at him with wide astounded eyes. "Well… erhm." he swallowed. "I guess because… If I were gone, we… We wouldn't be able to do this anymore." he stated.
Roxas nodded. "Yeah… That seems right." he nodded. "I don't think I like being alone very much."
And Axels eyes widened, then he turned his head away.
"Axel?" Roxas asked confused.
"Heh, you sure are saying some weird stuff Roxas you know that?" Axel asked, yet his face was still turned away from Roxas's.
"Oh.." Roxas blinked. "Sorry..." he looked down.
Axel didn't turn around… It was weird, his chest… it felt strange. In a way it hadn't for… A very long time.
"Woah there Saix!" Axel grinned at the blue haired man in a very joking manner. "Don't be so mean! What if I died? Then what would ya do?" he asked.
The look Saix gave him, it wasn't amused. It was just cold and devoid of emotions. "If you were so foolish as letting yourself get killed that easily. What would you even be doing in this organization?" he asked.
"Shesh, cold!" Lea stated as Saix finally walked away and Leas face faltered… Not even a single sign of worry nor care… And suddenly… That actually hurt.
