"You look just like him… Roxas"

"You look…, just like him…" Roxas repeated softly, his head against a pillow staring up at the celiing ,his metallic room was bitter cold. He looked outside, the rain started to pick up, hitting the window slightly harder. His thoughts seemed to be scattered all over the place. These words seemed to repeat, "You look just like him…" his mind kept replaying these words like a broken record. Roxas' mind was taunting him, telling him lies, making him go insane. He knew it and tried to ignore it the best he could

"You look just like him..." the words repeated, his mind trying to make him crack.

"You look just like him… Roxas" it repeated tauntingly.

"Like who!" He yelled out in frustration.

"You look just like So…"

"I don't look like him!" he shouted out, "I don't look like Sora!" screaming, tears flowing down his face. His whole world seemed to turn upside down, he didn't even know who this Sora was, yet he dreamt about him constantly. "I don't look like him…" he softly said looking down at a picture on his night stand. "I don't look like Sora…, I am me, I am Roxas…"

Axel sat against Roxas' door listening to his suffering. Every night he would hear Roxas cry himself to sleep, even scream out. The only thing he could do was try to make his stay in 'The Castle that Never was' as enjoyable as possible. He wished he could just go inside and embrace Roxas as he cried out, letting him know that some one was there for him. He leaned his head back, and continued to listen.

"Why do I feel…? Why?"

Roxas heart seemed to ache, again his mind playing tricks on him. He had no heart, but he still felt emotions. He could feel love, happiness, but most of all pain and sadness. He picked up the picture and stared at it. A fake smile grew on his face, it was him and Axel. The only time he ever felt loved was with Axel. Axel seemed to understand him, and he seemed to understand Axel, oddly enough. Roxas put his hands over the spot where his heart should be, he felt lost and empty inside. His "heart" ached; he felt the pain but knew it wasn't there.

"I have no heart … so why does it ache…?" he asked out loud, lying on his bed staring up at the ceiling. The bitter cold blew against his delicate skin, making him shiver. Roxas put his arms behind his head, only thinking of Axel, wishing that one day he would embrace him like Riku did. That he could feel the warmth and comfort again, at least one more time.

"I love you Axel" he said aloud. He closed his eyes, trying to feel that warmth again. Trying to feel that sense of security he felt with Riku, just trying to feel at all.

Axel's eye became watery, he never felt this way before, and he never knew what this love felt like. He wasn't even sure he could feel this emotion at all, but he didn't care. He stood up and faced the door. He was going to tell Roxas his feelings, even if they weren't his own, he would still tell him. He lifted his hand and went to knock on the door, but he stopped. He hear whimpering, Roxas was crying again, it always seemed like that. He put his hand down and looked at the ground. Maybe this wasn't a good night to tell him.

"I love you too, Roxas. I love you with all my heart" he whispered as he turned away to go back into his room, stopping to looked back. "No, I'm telling him!" he whispered in determination walking toward Roxas' room again. He opened the door, Roxas with his face in a pillow.

"Hey kid…" Axel smiled; Roxas jumped up, quickly wiping his tears away forcing a fake smile

"Oh… Hi Axel" he sniffed.

"I… ummm…. Heh heh, Roxas..."

"Yea…." Roxas slowly said a little confused at what Axel wanted, trying to force his tears back, trying to stay tough for Axel. He knew Axel well enough to know something was up; he rubbed his eyes trying hard to force the tears back, making whimpering noises.

Axel sighed trying to be strong, "Roxas…" he walked up, sat on his bed and tightly embraced him. Roxas sat there stiff, in shock. Was this really happening? "I hear you crying at night…" Axel said softly, holding on to Roxas not letting him go. Roxas looked at him, almost mortified at what he heard, "You… you do?" He stuttered, terrified.

"I do…" Axel looked into his eyes; his green eyes seemed to glisten. Axel smiled at him and whispered in his ear, "I love you…" Roxas eyes swelled up with more tear as he laid his head down on his lap, clinging to him, sobbing uncontrollably.

Axel smile, and looked at this kid on his lap. "Oh Roxas..." he said stroking the boys soft blonde hair.

"I'm... I'm sorry Axel" Roxas said rubbing his eyes, "I'm sorry for ruining your new cloak and... and just crying on you, he studdered holding on to Axel's waist his head on his chest.

"I love you Axel" he looked up at his green eyes

"I know..."

"Stay with me tonight, don't leave me... please don't ever leave my side"

Axel kissed Roxas on his forehead and stroked his hair, "I will never leave you..."

Axel and Roxas slept side by side, Axel holding on to Roxas as he softly wept in his sleep.

"I will never leave your side, never"
