ROXAS
CHAPTER 29
I really don't want to let go
I woke up with my arms bandaged and Axel clinking to my hand in his sleep. Sora was curled up with Riku on the sofa, their hands intertwined, it made me smile. I couldn't really remember what happened my body almost acted on its own. The razor cut into my skin but I didn't feel it and I walked to my bedroom with ease but I didn't make it to the bed.
I tried to pull my hand from Axel's but he just tugged at it more. Then a nurse walked by and poked her head in. "You know sweet heart you should wake up your brother or your boyfriend they have refused to leave your side and it has been five hours, the poor silver haired boy had to run for drinks and food for all of them." With that she left the room most likely to tell the doctors I was up.
I puzzled for a moment at why she called Axel my boyfriend but I guess it was because he was gripping my hand like a worried lover.
"Axel, wake up." I say as I shake him with my other hand
"Roxas…nooo…you can't…mine….stop….love….Rox…mine..." Axel mumbled in his sleep as he was trying to cling to his dream. Then he snapped up quickly looking at me. I gave him a small smile and he jumped up and hugged me. I didn't have any control of this at all. Then he kissed me lightly before pulling away. "Roxas, I thought I lost you, it is my fault right? I came into your life and everything went downhill. I would promise to leave your life forever but I can't do that. I am selfish and I want you in my life forever." It took me a moment to notice he was crying and soaking my neck with his tears.
"Roxas, Are you okay? Do you need me to remove Axel from you?" I looked over and saw that Sora and Riku had woken up and Sora was slowly starting to move. I felt Axel stiffen at Sora's words. I shook my head and lightly pulled at Axel for him to get in the bed. I didn't care at this point I just needed his touch as much as he needed mine.
I didn't know how I was going to be able to let go of him again.
After a few more hours I was released from the hospital and got to return home. Axel and Riku refused to leave so we all camped out in the living room. I could tell they all were worried about what happened. It made me feel like they all cared enough and wanted to stay so close because they wouldn't want to leave me. Maybe I could trust them to stay by my side. Maybe I could trust Axel with my heart.
