Familiarity Chapter Two
Mika Kay-I wrote this just after Fam-one, when I decided that since Ven gets these flashes so would Roxas and Sora. I never played KHII, but I have played 358/2, so yes I know that Roxas has no memories of Sora, but these aren't stick around memories, these have the qualities of dream-disappearing after a few minutes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, or any of the characters, just this unique combination of words.
Familiarity Two
Roxas
The sun is nearly set as Axel hands me my ice cream. For a brief moment, I'm being handed a star-shaped fruit, but the near-memory is soon gone. I finish the treat quickly, I want to leave as soon as the sun sets completely. Axel was late today, but I don't have the heart (ha, now even my thoughts are ironic) to care. The silence is calming, and I timed it nicely, throwing the stick off the tower just as the final rays sink under the horizon. We both stand, brushing off non-existent dirt and zipping our coats up farther against the night chill. Axel's green eyes glow blue for a moment as he speaks for the first time since arriving. "Don't forget that blond hair of yours." he says, ruffling my hair, and for a brief moment in time it is someone else ruffling my hair as he leaves, and he can't go- but then it's just Axel, and I'm responding, knocking his hand away and quipping "Like that red hair of yours is so much less noticeable." He grins as he pulls his hood up. "Hey, I'm the bait remember. I'm supposed to attract the heartless. You are supposed to sneak into town and gather information." "Whatever." As Axel calls up a portal, I feel uneasy, as though I could loose him to the darkness, but we've used these things dozens of times so I follow him into the darkness. memories fall in and out of my head in the darkness, a storm at sea, a shooting star, fighting, fighting, always fighting to reach my friends. In these moments, there's a painful ache in my chest, but then the feeling falls away as the impressions do. The memories fade till I no longer remember anything but a vague sense that something is off. On the other side I take in a deep breath of seaside air, the taste of salt thick on my tongue. The little town is quiet, but I can sense the Heartless already. "Let's get started partner."
