[Closed]
Characters: Axel and Roxas
Setting: Dormitory, 1-02
Format: action / brackets
Summary: Axel and Roxas need to catch up. Roxas' mind is a bit of a mess.
Warnings: Probably none.
[Arriving in the tower has done absolutely nothing for Roxas' state of mind. After meeting Xion and catching a breather for himself, he finds himself in his dorm room alone.
It's bad enough really, what he had encountered before arriving. He's still reeling from meeting DiZ and getting all of his memories back in a sudden rush. What was he supposed to do with that? His memories were interlaced with the implanted ones and the ones he made with Olette, Pence and Hayner. At least, the ones he had met.
Part of him was frustrated. He'd seen Sora, he was sure of it, but what was this tower? Did DiZ trick him somehow? Xion's explanations were good, but it's hard to say if any of it was real. He'd thought everything was real before this moment and now...Roxas isn't sure. He doesn't feel complete either, he's sure this isn't what Namine meant.]
[It is like this, lying in his bed lost in thought, that Axel finds him.]

[Sora's name again. Sleeping, just as he was left.]
What happened then?
no subject
[Roxas pauses a moment.] I won, but it was really close, I know and you, we said we'd meet in the next life. I thought this was here, but now I'm not so sure. I thought I really hurt you.
[He sighs again.] I tried to attack DiZ but he wasn't really there. My keyblades went right through him, and I saw Sora and that's it. I woke up here. I thought I was going to join him, but I don't think that happened. I still feel like a Nobody.
no subject
[Something twists inside, and Axel turns his head away. He doesn't know what it is. He shouldn't be feeling anything.
[This illusion of humanity....
[It's unbelievable, what Roxas is saying. Axel doesn't understand how things could get to such a point. Weren't the three of them best friends? Inseparable? What could drive Roxas to want to join Sora?]
... Sounds like you've had quite a time.
[He's still not looking at his friend, choosing instead to focus on a far wall.
[He knows the players, but not the plot. He knows the ending, but not the beginning. What actually happened to his friend...?]
no subject
I think so. It's hard to remember.
[Not having a heart, not having Sora's memories and having his own manipulated and muddled to a degree makes things harder then they used to be. He's sure there's a time where he did remember things much more clearly, however, this has changed. Roxas can feel he's changed a little bit, at least where his memory is concerned.]
[Axel isn't looking at him and that is unnerving. He hangs his head a bit.]
Are you...are you mad at me?
no subject
[He laughs — quick and forced — and turns to face Roxas with a little smirk firmly in place.]
Come on, man. How could I be mad?
[The teasing does nothing to alleviate the painful sensation in his chest. He abandons it quickly and rubs the back of his head.]
It's just confusing, is all. All this stuff happened to you, and I can't figure it out.
no subject
I'm confused too. It's not just you. But you're really smart, I know you can figure it out if you try.
no subject
[He doesn't really have any other choice, does he? Confusing as it may be, he has to work this out. How else can he help his friend?]
If you remember anything else, make sure you let me know. Got it memorized?
no subject
[Roxas repeats this with a smile, because he remembers teasing Axel about it from time to time, but really without him saying that, he'd be even more confused and muddled.]
Can you tell me more about Xion?
no subject
[He pauses for a moment, trying to think of something to tell. It's strange: Roxas became friends with the girl long before Axel did. They had so much in common that Roxas probably knew her better.
[Well. Roxas didn't know that one thing: the truth about her origin. But he can't tell that.
[... Of course, now it's the only thing that comes to mind.]
Yeah, sure. What do you wanna know?
no subject
no subject
Woah, slow down. One question at a time.
[Now, where to start with all that.... He scratches his head.]
She joined the Organization right after you did. Number XIV. Wields a Keyblade, same as you. She's....
[He pauses. Is it even possible to sum Xion up in just a few words?]
... She's our best friend. The three of us are inseparable.
no subject
[He smiles a little bit.]
I feel bad for forgetting here. In here. [He puts his hand to his chest.] Because I should remember my best friend. But we can still be best friends right? Even if I don't remember?
no subject
[His own words, coming back to ring in his head.]
That's right. Just give it a little time. It'll come back to ya.
no subject
I hope so. I want to remember my friends.
no subject
[He hopes....]

[Roxas pauses.]
Xion said Sora's here too right? But I'm still here. Does that mean I have a heart now? I don't feel any different.
no subject
Hmm? What're you talking about?
no subject
[Roxas' point in time is a little different from Axel's and it's hard to say what he means. He's not entirely sure. Namine said he'd feel different, but he doesn't seem to. Maybe he should ask Sora. He does want to meet him...]
no subject
Roxas, what does Sora have to do with you getting a heart?
[From the sound of it, Roxas thinks the two are connected. Joining with Sora....]
no subject
Naminé said that I wasn't ever supposed to exist and for Sora to be whole again, he needs me.
[It's still a little upsetting, and he balls his hands into fists.]
I don't know how she can say that. I got mad at her but she said I'm only half a person and Sora is the other half. I'll be whole.
no subject
[With forced nonchalance, he says:]
Well, I dunno about that. Sora's here, and he's just fine. And you're fine, too. Y'know, aside from a few little memory things.
no subject
So, I guess I can exist right?
no subject
Yeah, you can exist.
no subject
[He nods a bit and grins at Axel.]
We just have to find a way to go home, right?
no subject
