Buwah, I haven't posted anything in AGES. I've been slacking on my writing. I'm bad. :( Anyway, is it sad that I -do- support Axel/Cloud and Zack/Roxas? D:
Disclaim'd. Don't own Kingdom Hearts or anything affiliated with it. I don't own Zack either. DAMN.
----------------------------------------------------------------
It was a cold afternoon in Hollow Bast—er, Radiant Garden. Colder than usual. The wind was blowing hard and co, the air was sharp, and clean... Kinda like a new shirt, except... not.
Roxas inhaled the cool air deeply and sat down lazily on the top of a stone wall. Beneath his dangling feet, his Samurai minions were sparring against each other aimlessly. Roxas' legs kicked the air aimlessly, in an alternating pattern almost like a swing set.
"Stupid fucking Axel..." Roxas muttered. "I can't believe he did that..."
Suddenly, Roxas heard footsteps. Now, at this time, Sora and his friends were still in those pods taking the year-long naps, the "Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee" as they called themselves were working over at Villain's Vale (Maleficent's castle), so Roxas wasn't expecting anyone.
Well... Now that Axel wasn't around, he wasn't anyway. Roxas still couldn't believe what Axel had done. Odd, as it wasn't out of the ordinary Axel behavior. The blonde was mad either way.
The footsteps grew louder with every step. Noticing a muddy boot out of the corner of his eye, Roxas drew his keyblades and pointed them at the stranger in what looked like one swift maneuver.
Fortunately or unfortunately, the stranger had excellent reflexes and caught both keyblades with his gloved hands. "Woah there!" the stranger called. "Easy there, I'm not armed. I didn't come to fight."
Roxas tucked away his keyblades in that mysterious place we never get to see while playing Kingdom Hearts and he glared at the other man.
The man had black spiky hair formed on the top of his head... Kinda like Axel's, but dark, and long. He had vibrant, almost innocent, ocean blue eyes. His ear-wide grin made the innocence in his eyes stand out even more. The man wore a sleeveless navy blue turtleneck and what seems like would be uncomfortably high pants. He had a piece of armor protecting his stomach and two more pieces on his shoulders.
"Hey... Kid..." the man leaned down and inspected Roxas' face. In return, the blonde blushed. "You look like someone I know..." the stranger finished.
The blonde took a step back and almost smiled grimly. "You look like someone I know too." He paused a second. "Is the guy I look like...Is his name Cloud?"
The older man was extremely surprised. "Yeah... You know Cloud? Where is he?"
Roxas shrugged. "I only met him briefly. My... for lack of better word, boyfriend and I were fighting and... Cloud came strolling along. He mumbled something about a guy named Zack... something like 'Zack! You're alive again? You... dyed your hair' and hugged Axel. Axel and I had no idea who this Zack guy was... But Axel took advantage of Cloud's confusion and asked him out. To piss me off. I haven't seen them since."
"Cloud went out with another man? That's... unlike him." The dark-haired man scratched the back of his head.
A light bulb went off in Roxas' head. "You're... Zack, aren't you?" The older man nodded. "Wanna go out?"
"Sure thing lil' Chocobo. Just... your name?"
"Roxas." The blonde grinned. Revenge was sweet.
