Axel/Kairi
Hold My Hand
She had refused at first. Of course, that's understandable, poor girl was saving herself for someone whose face she couldn't even recall. The girl has wicked faith, Axel will give her that. But, man, is she high maintenance. Just because he's wearing black, doesn't mean he's a bad guy. Villains can change, they can repent, but he bets she was always told stories of the hero defeating the villains, with no alternatives. She saw the world through black and white.
And next to a heart as bright and as pure as hers, his shadow clung to his being, so she saw him as black.
She probably thought she was being brave, running away from him. But she was so naïve, so blissfully unaware, so convinced that she could save her friends on her own.
Axel had tried that once.
It didn't work out.
Okay, so maybe he does want to see Roxas just one last time. So maybe he'd like to apologize for everything that happened. Maybe he wants forgiveness. And, yeah, maybe his first intentions were selfish ones, but he really was on the girl's side. He had turned on the Organization to help these brats, and this is the thanks he got? The girl trusted an autistic dog over him.
He had to chase her all the way to Twilight Town, and it had taken some nasty tricks he hadn't wanted to resort to, but finally she was cooperating.
"So this is what it takes for you to hold my hand," he mumbled sarcastically under his traitorous breath.
