Author's Notes: This is a very, very short one-shot fic...and it's AkuRoku. xD;

By the way, I won't allow flames. They don't help anyone at all.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or the characters...but I wish I did. What I DO own is this lame-ass plot. x3


The only one

He was all I ever needed. He was everything to me-my life. He was my best friend–my only friend. He was like a younger brother to me-the only family I had. His name was Roxas, and he's the reason why I exist.

He had dirty blonde hair, sapphire-blue eyes, a smile that was visible only to the mind's eyes, and tears that were simply impossible to see. I had never seen Roxas with any other expression except for his blank and irritated ones. But even if he doesn't show his emotions, I grew fond of him.

Every time I make a joke, Roxas tells me I'm not funny.

"Axel, that wasn't funny at all."

Every time I try to make him smile, he gets annoyed.

"What the heck are you trying to make me do, Axel?"

Every time I talk to him, he never says anything and he always looks uninterested, but I know he's listening.

Whenever I'm not smiling, he would approach me knowing something's wrong; he's the only one who ever notices. He wouldn't say anything and the expression on his face would still be blank, but the look in his eyes would be different. His deep cerulean eyes would be full of concern-he is worried about me.

Whenever he wanted to cry, he would always hide it from me. He would look away and say "It's nothing, really". His eyes would glisten when a drop of sunlight would shine on him. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes and roll down his rosy cheeks, but he fought them back. "I want to be strong! And crying is a weakness..." he told me before. Crying...is a weakness? I disagree. It is something that can make you stronger, and I tried to make Roxas understand that. He was just too hardheaded that he didn't want to accept my perception of it...but I understand. That's how he is-his own person. Instead of trying to push through to him and being persistent, I stay by his side and try to comfort him; I wanted to be there when he needs me.

Roxas never laughs, so I do the laughing for him. He never smiles, so I do the smiling for him. He never talks, so I talk for him.

Somehow, the things I do for Roxas make me feel like I am needed...like I have a purpose for living.

When I'm down, the sight of Roxas cheers me up. When there's no one to talk to, he listens to me. When I need someone, he is the one who's there for me.

I needed Roxas in my life. He is the one who completes me...the only one.

The End
