GREAT FANFICTION GUYS

...Kairi? What? That girl Sora saved? Axel, who cares, where's the potions? LISTEN TO ME, DAMNIT! Stop... stop dying right now, or I'll kill you...!  I was freaking out a little too much to bother chasing after my train of thought with the last pinch of logic I currently had left.

The next thing I heard was a soft gasp that seemed to echo all around me and a thought that was not my own: 'Axel!'

What? Who are you? Who's Axel? I'm pretty sure that's not my name... but I think it does have an 'x' in it...

The next thing I saw was my best friend burning to death, and everything cleared up almost too easily.

"You're... fading away..."

Kingdom Hearts, Axel, what have you done? If this is one of your stupid jokes, I swear I'll...!

"Well... that's what happens when you put your whole being into an attack. You know what I mean?"

Of course I do, and so do you, you imbecile! You know better than this! Part of me vaguely understood the strange sense of distance, but mostly I just wanted to scream for how he ignored me. At the moment I didn't really register or care about the other speaker in the conversation.

"Not that Nobodies actually have beings, right?" A weak chuckle. Stop this, Axel, you don't have to pretend... I know how your burns feel, quit wasting your energy joking and do something about it!  "Anyway, I digress. Go, find Kairi. Oh, almost forgot: sorry for what I did to her."

...Kairi? What? That girl Sora saved? Axel, who cares, where's the potions? LISTEN TO ME, DAMNIT! Stop... stop dying right now, or I'll kill you...!  I was freaking out a little too much to bother chasing after my train of thought with the last pinch of logic I currently had left.

"When we find her, you can tell her that yourself."

...Sora?

"Think I'll pass. My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one." Idiot... what did you think you could accomplish by doing this? Whatever this is...

"Axel... what were you trying to do?" BESIDES THE STUPIDEST STUNT YOU'VE EVER PULLED! Would you LOOK at me, for Kingdom Hearts' sake?

"I wanted to see Roxas." I'm here! Axel, I'm right here! Look at me! Damnit, if Sora's such a hero, why doesn't he have any potions? Stop talking!  "He... was the only one I liked. He made me feel... like I had a heart." You idiot, would you just... shut up? You can tell me these things once you're okay! In fact, never say this again! It sounds way too much like last words!

"It's kind of funny." Axel... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I left, I'll do... whatever, I'll do anything you want! Just... stay! I want to hear all the stupid things you think are funny!



"You make me feel... the same." Axel. Please, Axel. Stop talking, concentrate. Call back the fire, call it back! I've seen you do it a million times!  "Kairi's in the castle dungeon." SHUT UP! I don't care about Kairi! I just... would you just STAY? I promise I remember you! I remember everything! I've 'got you memorized', you asshole, don't you dare die on me now!

Why have you waited so long to say those things? I could've... I would've... I don't know, but we should have SAID...


"Now go." Axel... Axel! AXEL! I'm not LEAVING, you idiot! Don't waste your energy on that...!

"Axel..."

I can't even reach out to keep what's left of you here... If only Sora would reach for you, maybe the last of the flames would travel through and carry me away, too... we could find each other in the darkness, you're certainly conspicuous enough... at least I wouldn't be so cold anymore...

AXEL!
