~Surviving is the greatest~

Beep

What?

Beep

Oh thank gawd.

Beep

We survived!

Beep

Ro-Roxas...

Beep

I loudly groaned as my eye lid fought with my mind to stay close. Once it obeyed, it immediately shut for the blaring lights above me. I groaned once more, bringing a arm over my eyes.

"-el…Axel, are you awake?" I slowly removed my arm and sighed before looking up at Vexen.

"Ye-Yeah, I-I'm up…" Gawd, my voice. It was so dry. Vexen read my mind, thankfully, for me as he moved me up slightly and placed a rim to my lips.

"Drink, slowly." I did just that but when the cold liquid was taken in, I did feel better, much muchbetter. I slowly tried to rise off the bed, but that didn't work. At all.

"Easy, your body is extremely weak. You have been out for a couple of hours now and you had your weapon out way too long." He explained slowly but I only nodded, falling back agianst the bed with a low grunt.

"What about my heart?"

"Well, you'll have to take medication for about two months and you'll need a week of recovery, but after that you'll be good as new." I only let out a sigh of relief at hearing that and couldn't help but let a small smile form. I didn't like the medicine part but I could live, or would live.

Well at least I had survived but what about…

"Rox! What about Roxas?" Vexen turned back to me, surprised for a moment before letting a smile curve at the corners of his lips.

"He's fine. He woke up a couple of hours before you. His body was in some shock from bringing out his weapon of soul for the first time, but other than that he's completely healthy."

"Can I see him?" I was glad to hear that and all, but truly I wanted to see for myself. Vexen just nodded and opened the door before a little blonde literally fell in the room.

I think I smiled wider as this exact thought hit me: He had been waiting all this time for me to wake up. Oh gawd, that was soo cute! Once Rox regained himself he came right to the side of my bed with tears in his eyes.

CUTE RADOR JUST EXPLODED!

No, scratch that, it exploded when he grabbed my hand, yes MY HAND, and gave it a squeeze! Was Vexen sure that I wasn't dead, cause this was heaven.

"…Ax-Axe…"

"Hey." 'Idiot! You idiot! After all you just went through all you can say is hey to him. And don't sit there chuckling.'But that was all I could do. I chuckled as I gazed back at him. And I also couldn't help but think 'poor guy'. He looked like he hadn't slept in hours.

I smiled but he just stood there crying big old crocodile tears.

"Hey, what's gotten into you? It's going to take more than a couple of stuck up dudes to keep me down." I chuckled again but he just stared down at the ground, whimpering slightly.

"Th-This is my fault…If-If I had be-been able to…"

"Roxas, hey…hey, it's okay…shh" I leaned closer to him and, even though my IV was pulling me, cupped his chin.

"This is not your fault….none of it is." I said slowly as I wiped away his tears with my thumbs.

"But… I should of…I shouldn't have let them…"

"Rox, seriously. What could you have done? You've had no training and had no idea how to use your weapon of soul. Speaking of which, how did if feel to wield it?" I asked as I remember it and totally wanted to change the subject. It was like a keyblade but I've never seen one like it before.

"Oh, umm….well, I don't know really…it, it felt like a really big weight was lifted off my chest and I-I was like, free or something… it's hard to explain." I laughed lightly at his attempt and smiled.

"Yep, it usually is. Do you want me to tell you happened?" He seemed to hesitate for a moment but then nodded all the same and I smiled as I had him sit on the edge of the bed so that neither one of them could be uncomfortable.

"Well, your weapon of soul is actually your heart…"

"Huh…"

"Just let me explain. You see we are unique because our WOS's is actually our hearts in the form of a weapon. For as you said, when you had your weapon out it felt like a weight was lifted off your chest, correct?"

"Um….yeah…" Roxas nodded slowly but I only smiled, quickly getting his attention once more.

"Well that is cause your heart left your body and became the weapon you wielded. It's kinda like this; When you wanted something to help you in the situation you were in, your heart left your body and became something you could use to protect yourself or others."

I could see the confusion in Rox's eyes but I could also tell that he was desperately trying to either believe me or just figure out the incredibility of it all.

"So…your saying when I have my weapon out, I'm actually holding my heart in my hand and my heart is no longer in my body."

"That's correct. You got it!" I smiled happily and proudly. Usually it takes people weeks to figure it out. My Roxy is a smart little cookie, isn't he?

"But shouldn't we die then!"

"Well, like I said, that's what makes us special. Our hearts can leave our bodies, for a limited time of course." He then just looked down at the sheets, somewhat nodding his head, wither it was in acceptance or something else, I couldn't tell.

"So what about you?" I could only say that his question startled me and I gazed at him in said startle.

"What do you mean?"

He slid a little closer to me and looked down at the bed before looking back up at me and I swear I saw pink on his cheeks.

"I mean…you-you had your weapons out for so long, are you gonna-going to be alright?" I can tell you right now that my face brightened up, brighter than any sun out there in the universe.

OHMYGAWD! He cares! He cares about me!

"Yeah. I'm going to be alright, I mean, I'm going to live that's the main thing. I'm going to have to take yucky medicine for about two months but other than that everything is fine and dandy."

He smiled at hearing that and chuckled. Actually chuckled, half laughed. Oh gawd that sounded so beautiful, I wish he did it again. If anyone took the moment to notice they would have seen my heart monitor go up.

"Well that's good. You saved my life and all. I have to repay you…um…somehow."

LIGHTBULB! BIGFINGLIGHTBULB!

I coughed quietly but smiled as he looked over at me.

"I…I, ugh, I have something in mind that you can do…um…here, lean over here and I'll tell you…." I said slowly as I took his hand and slowly began to pull him closer, and I was surprised that he wasn't pulling away and actually leaning closer too.

Once I got him to where our noses were just past each other, I quickly whipped my head closer to him and captured his lips.

Oh…his so soft, tender, luscious lips.

"MMMFFFMMM…" He seemed to shout into my mouth before pulling away and staring at me. I couldn't help but simply let a smile tug at the corner of my mouth.

"Did I happen to mention I might be in love with you?"

TBC...
