two o'clock in the morning :
drip
drip
drip
drip
Again and again and again and again, just like that, and you're really getting sick of that stupid faucet, it never had worked right in the first place. You remember you tried to fix it, once, and she had laughed in your face and said to you, "Yanno, Roxas, I'll bet you you're just gonna make it worse," and she had been right, because she jacked it up while you were down under the sink, and it squirted water all over your face.
You snort a little bit at the memory, and reach for the remote control to turn the volume up on the television ('cause hey, maybe it'll drown out that monotonous dripping) but the remote's not there, and you're much too lazy to get up and find it.
It's a rerun besides, you've seen it again and again and you're sick of it, too, so you don't actually want to watch it at all (you really hadn't been anyway) and drip drip drip drip goes the faucet and there goes the bride down the aisle on the television, just like she did a few months ago, and a few months before that, and a year ago too and does it really matter?
Again and again and again the clock ticks and tocks but no time goes by.
Ah, there's the remote, it was there the whole time. You roll your head around so you're actually facing the bride on the tiny screen, the bride and the groom in all their glory, and it's making you sick to your stomach. Go on, change the channel now, you've found your remote, haven't you?
You're much more awake than you were a minute ago, as the beaming married couple wave to everyone and drive off together and it's The End, but that's not how it went.
shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload, that's how it went
KSsHsk … the lights flicker and die and oh, wonderful, now the power's out again and it's not even raining!
You look out the window to emphasize your thoughts, but oops, it is raining, it's pouring and you just never noticed. (You hadn't noticed then, either, but whether it was because you were much too tired and numb and all-out distracted to care, or because it was simply just too dark out was a matter of opinion.)
The rain is really being quite obnoxious, splattering against the windows in large, angry droplets as though it were retaliating for the way you left it unheeded and ignored, and lightning crashes and there are screams flashing too, very fleetingly, and you raise your pistols and shoot around for a bit until the high-pitched screech of the Heartless rings in your ears.
You really don't have any idea where you are, it's much too dark out to see much of anything, so you just stumble around and shoot at the darkness and hope you've hit a Heartless or two. The others are nowhere to be found, which sucks because the anxiety is eating away at you in the back of your mind, and you dread the worst but keep on shooting.
shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload, that's how it went
There's a body back there that you nearly tripped over, but you were too afraid to look at it properly, because you might've recognized it.
It's kind of funny -- on the cop shows you always watched as a kid, everything was organized and the good guys always caught the bad guys and everyone knew what they were doing, but that's not how it went.
shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload, that's how it went
"Roxas!" you hear, "Roxas!" and turn around now, you know that voice.
Relief floods that back corner of your mind and pushes some of the anxiety out, and you blindly run in the direction you think her voice is coming from, shooting at the pools of shadows as you go.
"Roxas!" she says again and again and again, over and over and "ROXAS!" but dammit, you can't see her, where the hell is she? Something grabs you from behind and you try to shake it off, but it sinks its claws into you, cutting past the black material and into your skin, and what are you doing, you have a gun! Use it!
shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload, that's how it went
Lightning flares again and only now you've finally noticed the rain pelting down on you and thoroughly ruining your jacket (you've refused to call it a tuxedo, even though it is), and in the brief glare you see her at last, with her dress not quite tangled and her hair not quite tangled and she's crying and swatting at Heartless and swatting at darkness and shrieking your name, again and again and again and again.
Readyaimfire and you run up to her, and oh hell, she's not moving.
She's not moving and you're not breathing.
shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload
She's not moving and you're not breathing and you wake up.
And everything's okay, you're in your apartment, it's quite all right, you were just dreaming.
Then you remember it wasn't a dream.
Again and again and again and again, shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and reload, that's how it went.
