What's Left of Me
An AxelXRoxas one-shot song fic.
Genre: Romance/Angst
Author's Note: Well, it's inspired by the song "What's Left of Me" by Nick Lachey. Heh… Anyway, it's in Axel's point of view but the very end is in Roxas' point of view.
And, there's no need to worry, I'll be working on the second chapter of It's Fine to Be Nobody after I work on this.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything that involves Kingdom Hearts. If I did, it would be much different… and there would actually be real Axel and Roxas stuff!
---------------------------------------
Watched my life pass me by, in the review mirror
Pictures frozen in time, are becoming clearer
I don't wanna waste another day, standing in the shadow of my mistakes
Yeah…
"Hey, Roxas!" I called, waving for the blonde to come towards me. A smile crossed his face. He really only smiled for me, which made me feel special.
"Hi, Axel. What's going on?" He trotted towards me, grinning.
I wrapped my arm around his neck, slamming my fist into his messy hair. We both laughed.
'Cause I want you need, and I need you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin'
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
I'm half the man I though I would be
But you can have
What's left of me
Being with Roxas made me happy. Despite being a Nobody, despite the fact that my heart is gone…
He made me feel like I had one.
---------------------------------------
I've been dying inside, little by little
Nowhere to go, I'm goin' outta my mind
An endless circle, running from myself until
You gave me a reason for standing still
He had his back towards me.
"You can't turn on the Organization, Roxas!" I cried, hoping my words would get through to him.
"Why?" He asked, not even turning around to glance at me, "It's not like no one would miss me." He walked off, not saying anything else, not doing anything else. He just left me standing there, shocked. I felt… terrible. How could he have said that…?
"That's not true!" I called out, knowing he wouldn't be able to hear, but I didn't care. "I would."
And I want you
And I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken
And I'm faded
I'm half the man I though I would be
But you can have
What's left of me
If only Roxas stayed a bit longer, I could've told him what was on my mind that night. I could've finally spoken the words that ran through my head every night. I know that Nobodies aren't able to feel emotions, but it felt too real with Roxas. It felt so promising, so good. If only he had stayed, I could've told him…
I love you.
---------------------------------------
Falling faster, barely breathing
Give me something to believe in
Tell me it's not all in my head
It became hard to stay awake. I didn't want to give up. Not with Roxas at my side. I wanted him more than ever. But I knew he would only return to the Keyblade Master, Sora. I wanted him to return to me. I missed him.
I saw his face before everything went black… or did it get brighter? I'm not sure, but…
Take what's left of this man
Make me whole once again
Maybe soon I would be able to speak those words to him. I wanted to get it out. I wanted to say…
I love you
---------------------------------------
'Cause I want you
And I feel you
Crawling underneath my skin
Like a hunger, like a burnin
To find a place I've never been
Now I'm broken
And I'm faded
I'm half the man I thought I would be
But you can have
What's left of me
He walked around in a Graveyard. It was a Graveyard where the other Organization members lay. He passed by mine and kneeled down it.
---------------------------------------
I've been dying inside you see
I'm goin' outta my mind
Outta my mind, outta my mind, outta my mind
I'm just runnin' in circles all the time
I stared at Axel's tombstone. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I lowered my head. They flowed out swiftly as I mourned of my best friend's death.
Maybe he was more than a best friend…
He was more than a friend to me.
But how important was he to me?
Will you take what's left?
Will you take what's left?
Will you take what's left of me?
I'm just runnin' in circles in my mind
Axel had been closer to me than anyone else. The red-head pyro was always on my mind. It was as if…
I loved him.
Will you take what's left?
Will you take what's left?
Will you take what's left of me?
That was it.
I was in love with him.
And I still am.
And maybe, he was in love with me, no matter where he is.
Take what's left of me

Author's Note: I hope you liked it. I'm not good with song fics, so I know it sucks a bit. So, R&R.
