Prompt # 92: All That I Have
Pairings: one-sided Roxas/Sora
Summary: Roxas loved Sora and wanted to stay by him forever but Sora never thinks of himself, the stupid little hero…
The song 'Only One' is by Yellowcard.
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up (so broken up)
And I give up (I give up)
I just want to tell you so you know
Roxas ran for the door as it began to close, with Sora on the other side of it. They (referring to this weird-ass group of monks) kept saying 'It's meant to be this way' but he wouldn't have any of it. Sora was his Other, the light half of him, the one person who actually meant anything to him. And Roxas had sworn to protect him. He wasn't going to let it end here. He wasn't going to let some holier-than-thou assholes decide to take Sora away just because they needed some freakin' princess to pray for their world's stability. If they needed a princess, they could take Kairi. She was good at that 'make love not war' shit.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one
Sora, on the other hand, was contemplating his position. He really, really didn't want to go. But these people said they needed him, and if he just ran off he'd feel pretty bad about condemning their world to a horrible exploding destruction. On the other hand, Roxas, his best friend in the entire span that made up existence, wasn't thrilled with his new savoir-status and was currently running towards the door that separated the Realm of Darkness from the Realm of…whatchamacallit. Blue eyes met as Sora stared through the steadily shrinking gap between the closing doors.
Made my mistakes, let you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life to the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up (breaking up)
I feel like giving up (like giving up)
I won't walk out until you know
"Don't you dare leave!" Roxas shouted. Fury made his voice husky and Sora involuntarily shrank from angered tone. Realizing his mistake, Roxas sprinted the rest of the distance and held out his hand. "I'm sorry, Sora, just please, please come back!"
"I…I…" Sora looked between his Other and the monks, torn between his duty and his friend. If he left, he would never be able to see Roxas again. That thought left a huge, gaping hole in chest. Without a second thought the brunet threw himself forward and ran towards Roxas' outstretched hand.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one that gets me like you
You are my only my only one
Roxas' heart sped up as Sora came closer and closer. The doors were closing so quickly that he wasn't sure if the other boy would make it. Everything was muffled except for the sound of Sora's feet hitting the ground as he ran. Roxas found himself begging to a god he didn't believe in 'please let him get here please let him make it please pleaserunfasterIcan'tloseyourunpleasegod!' Sora reached the door and stretched his arm out, blue eyes wide and pleading.
Time stopped when the door shut, with Sora and Roxas on opposite sides.
Here I go so dishonestly
Leave a note for you my only one
And I know you can see right through me
So let me go and you will find someone
Roxas let out a strangled sob and drew his keyblade, beating viciously at the doors until his arms were sore and his legs could no longer support him. On the other side, Sora fell to his knees and pressed his hands against the door, wishing he could phase through and rejoin his Other. One of the monks gently tapped his shoulder. It was time to go. Sora stood, wiping his tears and putting up a poker face he'd never used but knew how to make. Without one backwards glance at the door, Sora walked forward with a gap in his heart. On the other side, Roxas screamed all the things he'd never said but wished he had.
"Sora, you moron, I fucking love you! Come back!"
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there's just no one, no one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one
My only one
My only one
You are my only, my only one
