A/N: I find a lot of fics focusing mainly on Axel's "feelings" during this scene so here is something different. ;3

Spontaneous Combustion – A collection of Axel x Roxas drabbles and one shots

By Tat

Theme 9. Waiting

"I would miss you."

Axel's words hit Roxas hard in his chest and down to the pits of his stomach. Before those words affect his legs, he quickly reminds himself that he can't feel and keeps his composure intact. Contradictory to his will to leave, he takes slow steps, reluctant to increase the distance between them. He is waiting. He hopes Axel will hurl a streak of fire in his path. Inwardly he begs the man to snake his arms around him and pull him back. For once in his nonexistence, Roxas wants Axel to be possessive.
