After Love
Chapter 6:
Key of New Love and Loss
Hey everybody! I was actually going to leave it a cliff-hanger but after multiple people telling me not to, I'm writing it :D
Sora woke in a hospital bed. At first he was very confused by why, then he saw the gauze bandages that covered multiple places, then he remembered the cutting in the bathroom. And then Roxas had come, but Sora wasn't sure if that was a hallucination or real. Upon thinking of Roxas, Sora was overwhelmed by feelings that he barely recognized, love, hope, and happiness. But those feelings were laced with sorrow, for Sora knew that he couldn't have Roxas, because of Axel.
But then, Sora noticed a weight on his left leg, and looked to see what it was. It was Roxas, asleep at the side of his hospital bed. And it looked as if he had been there for a long time.
After staring at him for sometime, Roxas started to stir. And as Roxas lifted his tired eyes to Sora's, they filled with tears.
"Oh Sora, I was so worried!" Roxas practically shouted, jumping onto the bed to hug Sora. "Please don't do anything like that ever again! Promise me that!" continued Roxas, now almost in tears.
Sora hesitated, he remembered all the sadness, and the desire to commit suicide, but now it seemed as if those feelings were from almost someone else, he didn't understand them anymore. All the sorrow and depression that was there was now filled by love. Love of Roxas.
"I promise," whispered Sora, now almost in tears himself.
With those words, Roxas gave him another enormous hug, which didn't seem to have an end. But Sora knew that he should say something, or it would continue to bother him.
"Umm, won't Axel be against you hugging me?" Sora asked, already feeling the hurt of Roxas being taken again.
But Roxas snorted, then said, "To hell with Axel, I saw all the bruises that he gave you, and I didn't want a boyfriend that would beat up my best friend, so I dumped his ass."
Sora could hardly believe it, Axel was out of the picture! But then there was something else…
"So….have you reconsidered my question?" Sora said hesitantly. He loved Roxas so much, he knew that, but if he said yes, Sora didn't want it to be a yes based off of pity of the recent…incident.
"Yes I have, and my answers yes, Sora. Yes, I will go out with you. And I know that you're gonna think that this is a pity date kinda thing, but it isn't. I've had a crush on you so much longer than before you asked me. But I had thought that you were straight, so when Axel asked me, I thought maybe I could make do," Roxas replied happily, almost in tears.
"So you want to go out with me?" Sora asked anxiously, he had to make sure it wasn't mistake.
"Yes," Roxas replied with a smile, "Yes I do."
And for a few months they were so happy. They always smiled, and walked home together. It seemed as if they were gonna be happy forever. After the first few days, and the initial shock, Axel just ignored or just glared at them from across the cafeteria, hallways, or classroom. At first Roxas felt bad about it, but after Sora reassured him that he would get over it eventually, Roxas ignored him too. (And eventually Axel did find someone else, but that's to be another story.)
But then, when Sora and Roxas got to Sora's home one day, they couldn't find Yuffie.
"God damn it all!" Shouted Sora as he hung up on yet another detective that was giving them a dead end. Roxas, who usually didn't put up with this kind of language, stayed silent. "I don't know what to do anymore," said Sora, "we've tried every single lead that we could find, but nothing! Hell, we even check out all the bars and taverns in town. It's not possible for my sister to have disappeared off the face of the world!"
Roxas suddenly started, "well actually…."
Where's Yuffie? I'm planning to make this about the trials of Roxas and Sora's love and etc… you get the picture… Review!
