AN: Okay, this is the scene where Axel warns Roxas before he leaves. It's in Axel's POV. Once again, i can't write a long description, but please read and be considerate. Thank you very much!

DISCLAIMER: I don not own the characters or the game. TTTT

I leaned against the wall in anticipation. It was dark and stormy. Well, it always was in The World That Never Was. There was nothing else. No matter how much I wished for the sun to magically appear, it was never there.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps around the corner reached my ear. I pulled myself together to look cool with my arms crossed over my chest. The footsteps drew closer. I took a deep breath as the figure stepped into my view.

It was Roxas.

He walked forward with a glance in my direction, though he knew I was there.

"Roxas." I called out like I usually did.

He stopped. I couldn't see his face.

"So you're leaving now?" I asked coolly.

Roxas nodded slowly. My eyes twitched involuntarily in discomfort.

"You get on their bad side and they'll destroy you!"

He turned his head slightly to my direction.

"No one would miss me." He said smartly. Then he began to walk away.

"That's not true!" I snapped. I didn't want him to leave. I added softly more to myself that to his retreating back, "I would…"

"No… I won't let this happen!" I thought angrily.

Swiftly, I ran over to him and yanked the front of his coat, making him face me. He wasn't surprised at all by my actions.

"You don't need to leave!" I nearly yelled at him. "Stay here! Stay with us!"

"Stay with me…" I thought desperately.

Roxas' blue eyes looked into mine. They were hard and unmoving. He diverted his eyes elsewhere in a second.

"Face it, Axel." He said in a low voice. "It's supposed to be this way. You can't change fate."

"But why you?!" I demanded, my grip on his coat tightening. "Of all people, why you?!"

He was silent for a moment. A deep rumble echoed in the distance as the storm began to grow. I looked into his eyes impatiently.

"Answer me!" I said, shaking his collar.

Roxas' eyes met mine in an irritated glare.

"I don't know why it has to be me!" He snapped. He managed to bat my hold on him. "I don't understand much of what's really going on, okay! I just know I have to leave this place."

"But we took you in! Me and the Organization!" I said, desperation slowly leaking into my voice. "We gave you a place to belong."

Anger flashed in Roxas' eyes. "All because I'm a Keyblade-wielder."

I shook my head. "Not just because of that!" My voice softened. "I-… We took you in because…" I trailed off uncomfortably.

"What? Because of what?" Roxas scowled.

I hesitated. I wasn't sure whether I should say how I felt towards him. He was special to me. I couldn't help but feel attached to him. There was something about the way I could see him smile and laugh only around me. I don't really know what it was. Nobodies aren't supposed to have emotions. Is this what people with hearts call… affection?

Well, whatever it was, I wasn't going to him just yet. The timing wasn't right… or was it?

Roxas frowned and crossed his arms. His patience began to diminish.

"See? There is no other reason." Roxas mumbled. He began to take a step forward, but I stopped him abruptly.

"No!" I nearly hissed. "Don't you go!"

Roxas clenched his jaw as he looked up into my eyes. My green eyes widened at what I saw. There were angry tears developing in Roxas' blue eyes.

I dreaded this. The sight of him in pain was all too much, but I kept my gaze. The hollow feeling in my chest panged uncontrollably as one tear rolled down his hardened cheek.

"I can't change it, Axel." Roxas said tightly. His voice sounded constricted. "As much as I tried to hope that I could stay with the Organization… and with you," he added as another tear fell. "I can't."

I wanted to embrace him. We were so close, but I felt hesitant. I didn't know why. Just looking at him was inviting enough. His blonde bangs shadowed over his beautiful blue eyes. Those eyes used to light up with gladness. Now, it was only remorse.

"But… why?" I asked, the held back desperation finally released into my voice.

"It's going to happen anyway." Roxas said in a low whisper. "There's no point in asking. I learned that already…"

Slowly he began to walk away. I was shaken.

"No! This isn't happening!" I thought angrily.

I heard my name be called down the street. I lifted my head up to see Roxas' back.

"Move on." Roxas said in a monotone voice. "Just forget about me…"

"No! Roxas, wait! I –" But I was already too late.

I just stood there, looking at the place where he once stood. I blinked twice and shook my head. Maybe it was all an illusion. I checked the spot again, hoping that he would miraculously appear with a smile on his face and eyes filled with spirit.

All I saw were rain drops dotting the ground. As if to match my sadness, they began fall harder. Roxas was gone… and so was my hope.

I clenched my fists and closed my eyes. I welcomed the rain for it hid the tears streaming down my face in anger and despair. I didn't ever say goodbye to him. I didn't let that stop me from silently wishing to see him again. I vowed I would meet him one day and tell him exactly how I felt.

"I'll see you again. I promise; one day I will see you!" I whispered softly as I looked up at the sky, fully embracing the rain. "Roxas…"
