Because the ending made me sad, and Ninny-na gave me the idea for another ending. But I still consider the last one the real ending. Enjoy.
You Know I Love You, Right? Alternate Ending
"Sora, did you watch the news?" Riku asked.
"No." Sora responded as Riku handed him a phone number. "What's this?"
"Your brother's boyfriend is the serial killer." Riku explained, "That is the number you call if you have information on him. Whether you do it or not is your choice."
oOo
A couple hours later found Roxas and me once again lying naked in his bed. His blond hair was tickling my nose as I drew invisible circles on his chest with my finger. I was so happy he'd forgiven me for killing those people. He wasn't at all happy about it, but he believes it's possible for people to change. He also believes that we were made for each other. It seems like my new start may become a reality, as long as we move. I sighed contently and then heard the front door open, Roxas seemed unaware.
However, when the bedroom door slammed open we both sat up in bed. Sora walked determinedly to the bed and sat on the edge of it staring us both down. His glaring began to make me nervous so I grabbed my lighter and a cigarette off the nightstand. "Don't do that, it's gross." Sora reprimanded me. I put the cigarette back and settled for flipping the top of my lighter open and closed. "Is he the one, Rox? Is he your Riku?" Sora asked.
Roxas turned his head to meet my eyes. He then smiled, grabbed my free hand, and nodded as he said, "Yes. Yes he is Sora."
"Are you willing to sacrifice everything for him, your apartment, your job, your life, your family, everything?"
"Yes." Roxas repeated and Sora nodded.
"And you know he's the serial killer?" I tensed up, but Sora continued when Roxas nodded. "And that doesn't change anything?"
"No it doesn't." Roxas said confidently.
Sora nodded as he stood up, "Well, you won't lose your family." Roxas and I both tilted our heads in confusion so Sora continued, "You're not exactly inconspicuous Axel. It's only a matter of time before the police are called. Riku and I put our money together with yours Roxas. We also put our apartment up for sale. With the combination of our money we can afford a two bedroom house for the four of us on Destiny Islands. As long as you don't come back here, Axel will be safe. Are you okay with that?"
"You're really going to do all of that for us?" Roxas asked in disbelief. I was having a hard time believing it myself.
"Going to, it's already done baby bro. And it was mostly for you. If Axel's your Riku, I don't want you to lose him."
"Roxas beamed at his brother, "I'd hug you but…" He let the sentence hang as he gestured to the fact that the blanket was the only thing covering our very naked bodies.
"Yeah, I really don't need one." Sora joked, "Start packing, we're leaving tonight. Anything you don't have packed will have to be abandoned." He grinned and waved at us before leaving.
Roxas turned to me, "Are you okay with living with them?"
"Yeah, your brother and his husband are good people." I smiled reassuringly at him.
"No more killing?" Roxas asked.
"No more. It'll be a new start with a clean slate."
"Good."
"Say it." I smirked.
"I know you love me."
oOo
With the help of a very tight rubber band practically pulling the hair out of my head, a stylish hat, an SUV, and Riku's maniac driving capabilities we got out of town without being caught. Now the four of us were standing in front of our new house. Interestingly enough it had a white picket fence and several kids playing around it. "We need to get a dog." I joked.
"And two point five kids." Roxas continued the joke as Riku and Sora raced each other to the door, tumbling to the ground in the process, "Or just the point five." Roxas commented as we laughed at our roommates.
"Yeah, it seems we have two covered." I laughed. After Sora and Riku recovered and walked through the door I grabbed Roxas' hand and pulled him against my chest. "You know I love you, right?"
"I know you love me, Axel." Roxas smiled up at me, wrapping his arms around my waist. "And you know I love you?"
"I've got it memorized." I smirked before capturing his lips, sharing our first kiss of my new life, my real life.
AN: Sora redeemed himself. And we have a happy, alternate ending with a house, white picket fence, talk of a dog, and two children with a possible point five on its way.
Thanks for all reviews and favs.
