A/N:
Hello again! I hope you enjoy my newest fanfiction! It was born from a combination of Kingdom Hearts obsession and the fact that I think Axel is the most crapped-upon character in the series. With that and the fact that I love him oh so very much, I thought I'd dedicate my next venture solely to him.
Rated "T" for mild swearing (okay, everything short of that four little word starting with "F") and for any kind of yaoi I'm in the mood for at the moment.
Kingdom Hearts and all characters belong to Sqaure Enix and Disney, respectively.
Chapter titles are all songs that I also do not own, and did not write. Leave the band in the comments if you figure them out :]
Enjoy the adventure!
new perspective
The Shadow's claws were sharper than they looked, slicing through the thick leather of Axel's coat like it was thin cotton.
Needless to say, his skin didn't fair any better.
"Oh, dammit." Axel hissed, dispatching the pesky little Heartless with a down stroke of his chakram before stepping back and touching his chest. Three lines slashed across the coat, tearing it and the shirt beneath. Blood was all ready seeping out of the shallow wounds.
"I just got a new coat." Axel grumbled. "And now look at me."
"Heal yourself!" Luxord snapped as he ran past. "And then get back on the Heartless!"
Axel sighed and rolled his shoulders, wincing at the pain in his chest. Unfortunately, he didn't have any potions. He'd been too broke to visit the Moodle shop lately, and the Heartless he killed only ever seemed to drop Ethers, which was both annoying and slightly useless since he could create fire with his mind.
"Just have to grin and bear it." Axel muttered to himself before shooting both chakrams off at a malicious looking Orcus that was about three seconds away from braining Demyx who was, as always, not paying attention to the things that were about to kill him.
As his chakrams wheeled back he caught them effortlessly, then cried out as the action caused a hot wave of pain in the gouge-marks.
He really needed potions.
Unfortunately, he needed every bit of money to buy three sea-salt ice creams at the end of the day.
He thought of Roxas and Xion, smiling and laughing, identical blue eyes twinkling in the diffused light of Twilight Town.
What,he smiled fondly, would they do without me?
