Hey everyone! These are a small collection of oneshots for a friend of mine under the penname warrior of six blades.

He's a good friend of mine and I was proud to write these for him and his OC, Matthew. That being said, Matthew is an OC for a story he has not posted yet. However, it should come out eventually and it will be betaed by...well, myself.

I'm looking forward to it, and hope you all will keep an eye out for it as well! That also being said, the Matthews used in these stories are alternate storylines to the line his story will use. In other words, they use the other two jobs of Matthew and the other two jobs of Elesis that aren't used in his story.

Matthew is a Kingdom Hearts based OC and is not owned by me.

Elesis is a Crimson Avenger here, Matthew is his class called "Key Mage"

I do not own anything except for my my ideas! Peace!

Bold Italic is the song

Normal is the story

Italics (except for starting quote) are flashbacks

Every Breath You Take, Elesis...

~/~

"Can you hear me anymore? Or have I faded from your heart?"

They were surely not in reality anymore. If this was reality, she was an angel. Something she knew damn well she was not. The room was circular, fitting for the motion they were doing. His hand was in her palm and she was walking forward. He was too, but the walk opposed her. She was facing the opposite way, forcing their walk...to spiral into a circle repeatedly.

"Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in!"

Why was he doing this? Why was he singing to her? She glanced over to him, only to see his gold flecked blue eyes staring back at her amber. He was still walking...she was still walking...but they were going nowhere. What was this? What was going on? She had always fought for the innocent until she was reborn until this blood thirsty woman who craved vengeance. Yet this boy...this boy she loved...saw the better in her heart. Why was that?

Why did she want to cry back?

"If my heart could sing, would you stay?
Would you stay and listen?
Would you stay and listen?
If my soul was torn, would you help?
Would you try and fix me?
Would you help un-break me?
Your smile, it eats me alive
And I can't turn away any longer!"

She...sang back...? The light of hope came to Matthew's eyes, though her cry had not been what he had expected from her. From what he could tell, the situation he had fallen into when he had broke into her heart was predetermined. He couldn't force his body off this path, but he could hold her hand tighter in his own. He squeezed it softly, continuing his path that basically forced he and Elesis into this circle together. Like a human pinwheel. Up to this point, she had ignored every word he had spoken to her as they walked this circle. Until that song! Was she listening now? He frowned as she turned her head away...and he lightly faced the way he was supposed to before singing right back to her, determined.

"Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in!"

"Elesis...I think I'm falling in love with you..."

"With me? Are you insane?"

"I'm not insane, I'm not lying to you!"

"Matthew...I'm a knight of darkness. You...shouldn't play with the dark. The dark bites back sometimes."

"I'll take that if its for you."

She swallowed back tears, forcing herself to a stonelike face as her brows furrowed. What was this pathetic circle? Why was he trying so hard to save her? So what if the light was almost gone from her heart? He should have known it wouldn't last forever. She was broken! Why didn't he understand? Why didn't he just leave her? For his own sake if nothing else!

"I'm the ghost of what's left of me!" She cried at him.
"Begging you to hear me!" He protested.
"Can you even feel me?" She demanded.
"I can't let you go, save me please!" The boy cried back.
"Will you stay here with me?" The Crimson Avenger asked, painfully.
"Will you ever leave me?" inquired the Key Mage.

Why was he doing this to her! She felt herself about crack on the floor. Matthew could only lift his free hand and hold his heart, a pain in it from nearly being cut apart by her suffering. These words written in her heart, they may as well have been written in her blood. These words of this song he was singing...it was going to either tear them to shreds or sew the tears of where they had shattered. He wasn't sure which anymore...and he didn't care once she cried back to him.

"Your smile it eats me alive
I can't turn away any longer!"

"Matthew..."

"If you don't feel the same, then I'll drop it."

"No, I..."

That smile of his...it was the most beautiful thing she had ever known...

And now it tore her apart...

No!

He couldn't take it anymore! This pattern was going to break him! He pressed his feet tightly against the ground, beginning to desperately pull on Elesis...who continued trying to walk. Trying...trying...trying to get away...trying to avoid facing him. Trying to avoid facing the light that shattered every semblance of thought within her soul. He wouldn't let go though...he kept pulling her. He would be heard, somehow! Even with these stupid tears in his eyes!

"Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in!
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in!"

Elesis trembled at his words, turning to look at him as he desperately tugged on her, trying to pull her back to him. Desperate to break this pattern. The redhead shook her head, tears welling in her amber eyes as she tried to pull herself away. Tried so hard to tear her gaze away from his innocent blue... All she could do was scream back, almost in a wailing cry.

"I gave you everything...
I never thought we would end up like this...
I gave you everything...
I can't let you go, save me please!"

"What do you think I'm trying to do!" He cried back to her.

She shook her head, still desperate to pull away, "It would be easier to let go!"

"I won't! I told you I'd never let you suffer alone!"

"I gave you everything..." She cried at him
"I won't give in!" He protested back.
"I gave you everything..."
"I won't give in!"

And it shook her own conviction.

She panicked as she finally lost her ground, Matthew managing to pull her out of the pattern. Her body snapped from the position as the force drove her into his arms, a cry leaving her in startled worry. She struggled, pushing against him halfheartedly as he embraced her...until all she could do was lay her face against his shoulder and wish he hadn't become entangled in this web with her. It weighed against him that even now, she didn't seem to understand the lengths he'd cross for her. He just held her there though, trying to calm her as she gave into his will to rescue her.

"Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I'll be your light in the darkness!
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in!"

All those days that she fought for the innocent...they were no more.

But that didn't mean he didn't admire her for them.

And that didn't mean he had lost his respect for her.

No...in fact he respected her more now than he ever had before...

"Elesis...it's okay..."

"You can't prove that..."

"No...maybe not...but I can prove that I love you."

"Oh stop it."

"You know I won't."

He released her lightly, looking at her as she crossed her arms and looked down, away from him. She didn't want to face him...

She couldn't face him. But she did sing, one last time...

"I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this..."

He offered her his hand, "Come on. You know I won't leave you to suffer here."

She frowned, slowly taking his hand, "You idiot..."

"Maybe so. But I'm your idiot."

Carefully he tugged her to him, wrapping one arm around her waist...and carefully pressing his lips to hers.

"Why do you love me anyway?"

"Because I do. Love has no reasons, Elesis."

"You're weird."

"Maybe. But I'll never let you down."
