An AkuRoku drabble. "I always thought Roxas was so small..."
When we had first met, I had noticed how small and guarded he looked. An apathetic sort of scared. Roxas was always tense, always fragile-looking. So… quiet.
I had decided that he was one of those Nobodies who curled up around the vast expanse of nothing in their chest. He didn't draw from its strength because he didn't know how to deal with not feeling.
I embraced my lack of heart, I made it make me larger, better, stronger. I didn't need to feel- it obstructed my skills, and I thought he would be worthless to the Organization.
But he had the Keyblades. He was worth it.
And after a while, I started to realize that he wasn't quite as small as I had thought. If anything, he was confident, arrogant, cold. I was wrong… I was the insecure Nobody. I know that we technically are supposed to be totally without feelings, but we feel brief spurts of emotion every once in a while… Roxas didn't. Not a second of feeling. And I was stuck with a pang stabbing me in the chest where my heart was always supposed to be…
And as he left, that pain got worse, and I found myself slumped… and for a moment, I thought about how alone I felt… how small. He was bigger than me, and I slumped to my knees. He wasn't small at all.
