Hello again ^^

I decided to write this epilogue since I got a very nice review :) I hope you'll enjoy it.

Roxas' pov

It has been three years since I met Axel and fell in love with the idiot, and despite our arguing we are still together. Though, it has not been easy for his libido that is for certain. However, lately he has become distant. I do not know why. Have I done something wrong? I have tried talking to him about it but he only says that everything is fine. I am not going to think that he is cheating on me; he is not that sort of person. But maybe he does not love me anymore. Do not be ridiculous, he would have said something if that was the case… or would he? Maybe that is why he called. It is my birthday but he has not congratulated me, or done anything else. But, no, I am not going to doubt him, I trust him. He has learned his lesson when it comes to making me unhappy. Everything will be fine, it might be other things that have him distracted. He is a university student after all and he would not want to tell me if something is not going as well as he had thought. He does like to boast after all. Though, he did call and told me to come over to his flat. He moved to Radiant Garden where his university is, mostly so he could spend more time with me and not bother too much about traveling.

I walked up the stairs (he had been adamant about moving to the highest floor where there was no lift). Axel had given me a key as soon as he moved in so since the door was locked and he did not answer the doorbell I let myself in. The flat was dark and the lights were dim (they probably needed changing). Something was different about the flat, apart from being dark. There was something in the air. I took a deep breath and smelt the scent of… flowers? The flat smelt of flowers, roses I believe. Why were there roses in here? I took off my shoes and my jacket and walked inside. I found a few petals on the floor leading to the bedroom. The door to the bedroom was closed for once. I turned the handle; my heart beating loudly. The door opened and I stepped inside. The floor was littered with rose petals and on the bed laid different kinds of flowers in different colours. I stepped closer to the bed and in the middle was a small box. I reached for it and opened it, revealing a golden ring.

"Will you marry me Roxas?" a voice came from behind me.

I turned around and saw Axel standing in the doorway, a nervous expression on his face. In his hands was a bouquet of the same kinds of flowers that were on the bed.

"These are for you," he said and handed them to me. "They all have similar meanings of 'I love you', and the ring has a diamond, and two emeralds. I know that you weren't serious and maybe it still is too soon, and I know you're not really one for romance and feelings and such, but I want to be with for those thousand years I told you about three years ago. I don't want to separate from you, because you are my life, you make me feel such wonderful things and…" Axel rambled and tugged at his hair.

I was overwhelmed and so happy. My stomach was exploding with butterflies and I felt elated. I threw myself at him; my arms around his neck and crashed our lips together, silencing him. I put on the ring and it fit perfectly, so perfectly. There were tears pouring down my cheeks and I laughed as I hugged him and kissed him. Axel looked as happy as I was and I could not wait for the wedding and to finally give myself to him completely.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

"I think I'm gonna puke." I felt completely sick; my stomach was tied in knots. I really just wanted to go back home and forget everything.

"C'mon Roxas, man up a bit would you, it's your wedding day." Hayner said and clapped me on the back.

"Yes, and I'm terrified."

"What for? Nothing will happen… well Axel might get a bit distracted by the dress, I don't think he was expecting it." Hayner grinned.

"It's a kimono not a dress."

"Same thing really, you still look like a girl." Hayner shrugged.

I glowered at him. Why I had chosen him as my best man I will never know, probably because Sora wanted to be "bride's maid" so I got stuck with a "maid" of honour and a best man. Cloud was going to give me away. Axel had proposed to me six months earlier, on my birthday and we were getting married on his. We had chosen the flower garden on Xemnas' estate, which he happily gave us permission to. Though, neither one of us organized or planned the wedding, we left that for Sora and Marluxia who were both very exited about it.

There was a knock on the door and then Cloud entered. He looked at me up and down with a slightly misty gaze.

"It's time soon." He choked out and the knot in my stomach tied itself harder.

"Okay, I'm ready." I muttered to myself trying to breathe normally, and took hold of Cloud's arm.

Hayner slipped away outside and Sora and Naminé (my other "bride's" maid) made themselves ready. We went to the beautiful garden and then the music started. I walked between the rows of people that had attended and saw our friends and "family". I looked up and locked gazes with Axel and all the fright and the knot in my stomach disappeared and was taken over by those damn butterflies. Axel's face showed awe and as I got closer I could clearly see his beaming face, so filled with happiness and love. There was nothing else around; the guests, the one marrying us, all vanished it was just us two. I was barely aware of what was happening but still managed to put the ring on his finger and finally he was mine as I was his. Nothing would tear us apart. His ring had two sapphires, because they reminded him of my eyes and when he could not look at them he would look at the ring so he could be reminded of them. There were sounds of bells chiming, a perfect sound as we kissed.

The rest passed in a blur, everyone was having fun and celebrating, then Axel and I were driven to the airport where we boarded a private plane that Rufus had fixed for us and we were flown to an island where we would spend our honeymoon. When we got to the house Axel decided that he would carry me inside. It was late at night but I was too full of energy and anticipation. Axel carried me up the steps to the bedroom and then gently put me down on the bed. He hovered over me, tracing his eyes along my body. There were no words passed between us, because nothing needed to be said. I drew him in for a kiss and he covered my body with his own. The kimono was opening up as Axel traced his hands along my sides and down to my thighs. I shivered as he moved the fabric out of the way and touched my skin. He separated from my mouth so he could unbutton his shirt and then moved back down. Everything was slow and sensual, he took his time touching and exploring my body and I did the same to him. His touch was electrifying and I yearned for more. Our clothes had somehow come off and were strewn on the floor. His body was moving against mine and I felt euphoric. The pleasure was so intense and I begged for more, more of his touch, more of his kisses. I wanted to have him closer, to have him deeper inside me. I wanted the thrilling pleasure to never continue. We kept touching, kissing, biting, we did not stop until we were fully sated and even then we could have continued. I fell asleep in his arms extraordinarily happy. This was the beginning of our new life and I was looking forward to what it had in store for us. Maybe it was written in a journal of lost symbols. Only time would tell.

Thank you for reading 'The Lost Symbols' and for reviewing ^^ I hope I'll see you again at my next long story. Didn't want to write one at first but then the story began working in my head and I just surrendered my fate and began writing. However, it will take a longer time uploading the 1st chapter for you since I want them to be longer this time and I will be very busy this year. This one will have more elements from the Final Fantasy games that appear in Kingdom Hearts and I won't say anything else you'll just have to wait ^^

またね!

(mata ne = see you later)

PS. if you still have a request about something you wish for me to add,

just tell me and I'll see what I can do. It doesn't matter if you want it years after it was finished :).
