A/N: I couldn't help but squeal at the implications of Roxas' and Axel's relationship during Kingdom Hearts II (props to Square for providing fodder for fangirl's overactive imaginations). So I wrote this up at the crack of dawn, after playing several hours of the game of course. Enjoy.


Wanting

"You're not the Roxas I knew anymore."

Lips would crush lips, and skin against skin, but you never managed to really pull away. There was a sort of indifference in you as I pressed every crevice of my body into yours, as I entered and broke your tiny frame over and over again. You never said a word, you never uttered a sound. It would break my own 'heart' afterwards, seeing your glossy blank eyes, past care, past hurt, dead.

But I do remember the light just barely returning to your eyes as you sought out the secret behind the keyblade. You were alive then because there was finally a purpose in your partial nonexistence.

So you left and I stayed.

So you forgot and I remembered.

The days without you are still as cold.
