Fall Into Your Sunlight
Chapter eight
The Mind Is An Empty Place
月光は夜に照る
Roxas
He slept, his dreams very disturbed. I could tell, hear him cry out in his sleep.
Why?
I found I could make the darkness more bearable, by changing the scene. So I sat on the edge of a beach, watching the waves as they roll and crash, the salty water coming to meet my feet.
Why am I here?
I want to comfort him, but I can't. I know from the start that I can't escape this, it feels like an ethereal world. Seperated from all the others. I never wanted to leave him behind.
If only he could come here while he slept.
The wind that wraps around me is refreshing, tasting of salt, but it cannot replace the real thing. It's just a detail. One more detail this strange and isolated world gives me.
I want to escape.
I lie down onto my back, the sand loose underneath my back. The sun that sets slowly casts a picture-perfect scene of the beach.
But I don't care about all that. I never really liked nature in the first place.
And now I loathe it.
I close my eyes, mostly because I don't want to see this anymore, it's too isolated, too lonely. It would be a little better if I knew I wasn't alone here. If there was some people or something of that caliber, I would probably be less lonely.
Yeah, right.
"I wonder if there is a way to escape this world." My eyes open at the sound, a new detail I have failed to miss. I look to my left. "But I can only stay until I wake up."
Suddenly, I don't feel so alone. With his ever-gentle smile, he helps me up into a sitting position before he sits behind me, chest pressed against my back with his arms wrapped around my waist, holding my hands.
"I believe that will have to do." I close my eyes and lean my head back into Sora's neck, a smile on my face. "But I don't know how to leave."
"Maybe it's simple." One of his hands comes up to my hair, and he gently touches it over and over. My eyes open and I look up at him; he's looking at me with a small, sad smile and cerulean eyes a little glassy.
"It's too lonely here." I close my eyes again, sighing. "I'd never thought I'd say this, but I miss that damn redhead."
He laughs underneath his breath.
"We'll figure this out. We've done it before."
"Before?" I look at him once more. "What do you mean."
"Though I know it was a long time ago." He starts, pausing to think. "I think I can show you instead of telling you."
I find myself closing my eyes.

The first thing I notice is that he's dressed like a prince. Though his hair is as gravity-defying as ever, and his eyes are stili that stunning blue, that is all I can recognize of my little brother. He's looking into a mirror hanging on a wall of a bedroom, speaking into it.
"But Sora," His reflection speaks back to him, and as I look, I can see that the reflection looks like me. A lot. "I don't want you to do that. If my freedom has to be traded with the life of another, I don't want you to do that." The reflection sighs.
"I know, but it's the only way you can be free again."
"And I know you're too kind to take a life." He finishes. "I'll be happy if I do get out, sure, but I don't want you to have to sacrifice someone else."
"Then how?"
"We'll find a way." He smiles to the brunette.

Roxas wakes up a few minutes afterwards, eyes showing confusion more than anything else. I hug him a little closer.
All we wanted was to be left alone. He looks at me.
"I hope we can find a way." He says. I nod in silent agreement.
"We will. I promise. As soon as I find out how, I will not stop until I have suceeded." I press my lips to his forehead.
But why sacrifice so much? I can hear him think to himself.
Because you're worth the risk. I think back at him, smiling. He tilts his head back to be able to better see my eyes.
"Thanks." He smiles at me. My only reply is to gently press my lips on his, for I know my time is almost up.
I'll come back every night. I promise, and I can tell he knows I'm about to go, too.
Until I'm free.
With a smile and one last, gentle kiss and embrace, I'm ripped away from him.
それから私は永久にここにいる
***I guess this can be considered a filler chapter, I felt like writing this chapter for some reason. It's hard for me to write the story like this with Roxas not... there, so to speak, so I don't know how much longer this story will really be. Plus, I feel like writing a new SoRoku fanfic, with an entirely different concept, so~
The OOC-ness, it BURNS!
月光は夜に照る
Moonlight shines into the night
すべてのための方法を示すことは失われる
To show the way for all is lost
さよならを言っていたら平均私は戻ることができない
If saying goodbye means I cannot return
それから私は永久にここにいる
Then I will stay here forever
Sora
