It was love at first sight.

He saw him.

And he saw him.

It was perfect.

Kismet. Fate. Destiny.

For them to be together.

The two Nobodies walked the curving streets of Twilight Town, holding hands. It was a favorite pastime for them, ever since they had met for the very first time in this town.

"Hey, Axel?" The younger said. The older looked down at him.

"Yeah Roxas?" he replied.

"Do you think we'll be, you know…together forever?" Roxas asked, looking down at the ground. Axel nodded, smiling.

"Of course! Destiny brought us together, and nothing can tear us apart." The older said. Roxas looked up at him and smiled. Axel absolutely loved his smile. It was so warm, so cute. It was so innocently and sweetly childish. His smile, added to his baby blue eyes, which shined with such intense yet subtle light, made Roxas beautiful.

It made him perfect.

Beautiful perfection.

Axel smiled at him again. Roxas absolutely loved his smile. It was so witty and sly, so devious and cunning. It was simply amazing how his one smile could make him feel the way he felt right now, and every time Axel smiled. His smile, added to his deep olive eyes, which shined with such astounding and dangerously sweet fire, made Axel beautiful.

It made him perfect.

Beautiful perfection.

And the best part was that they'd never have to share that smile with anyone else.

"Your mind's made up?"

Roxas stopped suddenly, hearing those words. He didn't want to face Axel, not now.

"We talked about this, Axel. I need to know why the Keyblade chose me." He replied, trying to hold back any signs of sadness. Roxas' words slashed through Axel and wounded him deeply. His words were like burning ice shards, being stabbed into him over and over again, and although he controlled fire, he could not melt the shards away.

"You can't turn on the Organization!" Axel shouted, close to tears. He didn't want Roxas to leave. He loved him! And he knew that, if Roxas left, they'd never see each other again. Roxas turned to face Axel.

"I'm not turning on the Organization. I'll come back someday. Someday soon." He said, trying to reassure him. He loved Axel dearly. He didn't want to leave. He knew that, if he did leave, he'd probably never see him again.

"If you get on their bad side, they'll destroy you!" Axel retorted, his eyes stinging, trying to hold back a flood of tears. He knew the Organization would try to kill Roxas. The entire Organization, especially Xemnas, never approved of their relationship. Xemnas had always said that Nobodies can't like one another, but Axel and Roxas believed differently. Roxas turned away from him.

"No one would miss me." Roxas said coldly.

A lie. A BIG lie.

"Roxas! Listen to yourself! You know that's not true!" Axel said, desperate to convince his lover that he should stay. Roxas' shoulders shook. Despite his constant pleas in his head for tears not to come, they came anyway, wetting his tanned cheeks. Axel looked away, to conceal his own tears that were now flowing down his pale face.

"I would…"

At that point Roxas lost it. He ran towards Axel and into his arms, sobbing. Axel hugged him back tightly, trying to soften his own crying to comfort Roxas, but no avail. They two stood there, in each other's embrace, never wanting to let go. Eventually, Roxas pulled away, and looked up into Axel's fiery emerald gaze, to have Axel look back in Roxas' ocean blue gaze. Roxas smiled weakly.

"I have to go, Axel." He said quietly, barely above a whisper. "I need to go." Axel smiled back weakly as well.

"What if I never see you again?" he asked, his smile fading.

"You will see me again, because I will come back." Roxas said. Then, Axel leaned down towards Roxas, and their lips brushed against the others, coming into a kiss. It was deep, long, and passionate. When they kissed, they never wanted to let go, to have to leave the other. Axel pulled away slowly, and Roxas backed away from him, into the cold dead of night.

"Roxas!" Axel called out. "You promise?"

In the shadows, Roxas nodded.

"I promise Axel!" He called back, summoning a Corridor of Darkness.

"I promise…"

Now, I'm not a fan of AkuRoku at ALL (Axel's mine! MINE!! MUAHAHAHHA!!), but, if Axel and Roxas were going to have a sappy parting in the KH2 game, they might as well do it right, right? XD

Actually, this one-shot was part of some story I was working on. However, I have the memory of a peanut when it comes to some things, and this is one of them! Hence: I forgot why I wrote this. : But oh well! :D

NOTE: Argh…please don't kill me for procrastinating… (hides)
