Who: Axel, Roxas
When: late evening
Where: Balamb Town
What: Searching and finding
Rating: PG-13

He had clawed his way through the darkness refusing to stay hidden away when it all had started again. The Heartless, the Nobodies.

Roxas.

He had felt them, and now he wanted to yet again be appart of it, not some shadow hidden away. It was not who he was. Axel was Axel. he was a fighter.

It had taken him much time to discover where the keyblade Master hid, having kept his eyes on them when Roxas had reappeared from Sora.  He could not help but to feel a spike of joy. But how could he? Nobodies did not have hearts!

Axel was hidden in a shadow at  the Entrace to Garden, eyes following the passerby's as they moved, searching for a familiar blonde head. He had stayed there for a few hours now, deciding to wait there, instead of come rushing in like a lovesick puppy. He wanted to make a grand scene stepping out of the Shadows when Roxas came, just like he used to do, instead of coming running to see him. A smirk crossed his lips, as he crossed his arms, the kids passing him not even noticing the red head where he stood.

It was allright. He wanted Roxas to be the first to see him. Perhaps the joy he felt was just something he made up himself? He was unsure, but he did not wish to ponder upon it. Now he just waited patiantly. Someone had to come, sooner or later.

Roxas had been spending an awful lot of time with Sora but his Somebody had fallen to sleep with some petting and sweet words. How sad Sora was over his parents was obviously natural but even still, it worried the Nobody as much as he could worry.

Striding along and out of the gate, he headed for Balamb Town, intent on getting something to cheer Sora up. Even if they were separate, he knew Sora better that anybody, even if he'd lay dormant inside him for fifteen years.

He wore a white t-shirt and loose-fitting blue jeans, his wristbands firmly in place as he walked, his blue eyes as vacant as they always were.

Axel woke from his half sleeping pose when he noticed the familiar blonde head passing by. He smirked, stepping out of the Shadow behind him, eyes glinting as he crossed his arms, shifting his weight to mostly one foot. "So, left the town to come here, hm? You remember me now?" he cocked his head, lips curled.

"Eight. I wondered when you'd crawl out of the woodwork." He drawled, not even bothering to look at his friend. He knew that voice anywhere, he didn't need to look. Instead, Roxas continued walking towards the main part of town, his cellphone giving a buzz in his pocket. The teen retrieved it and flipped it open, smiling slightly at Sora's message.

Axel's face dropped a bit. He had imagined the meeting to be quite different after the way they parted. "Name is Axel" he pointed at his own head, irritated look in place. "I thought I told you to memorize that. " he snorted, moving after the shorter boy. "And here you go calling me eight? Charming."

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

Roxas gave a shrug before looking back at Axel with a smirk. "You're still such a whiny brat." He teased, walking on again, brushing a hand through his hair, putting his cellphone away again. "Besides, I'm not part of your Organization anymore. I won't call your members by name. I don't want to have any part of it." He muttered, frowning.

"I ditched out of it the second I saved Sora from those Nobodies and sent him off to find Kairi" he protested. "Whiny? You are the whiny one, punk." he gave the back of Roxas's head a little slap.

He smirked. "I do prefer Axel aside from being called Eight."

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

"Ow!" He rubbed at the back of his head before giving Axel a real smile, his eyes not truly lighting up the way Sora's did. "Hey... thanks for saving Sora and looking out for Kairi." He gave his friend a nudge, not wanting to seem over friendly by giving him a hug.

Any smile Roxas gave was a smile to Axel. He grinned back, resting his hands on his own neck as they walked. "Coming back here was harder then I thought. So, how is it that you two pipsqueaks can exist at the same time, hmm? He gave his friend a look, grinning teasingly.

"Pfft, now that is an answer I would like. I don't know. We just... do." He muttered, shrugging slightly. He shoved his hands in his pockets as he walked, soon heading towards the nearest music store. He'd get Sora a CD. Something he liked from one of those bands Leon had gotten them into.

"Well, I'm not complaining. I.. well, the world was not as entertaining as it was when I had you bonehead around." Axel drew some funny looks with his Organisation clothing, but he did not give a shit. "What is this?" He looked around the store.

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

"Music. CDs. They're something Sora likes. I suppose that means I like them too, since we're like some freakish pair of twins..." He gave a dry, empty chuckle, as were all his laughs. "I thought I'd get him something to cheer him up. Since his parents were killed by the Heartless." He murmured, scanning the aisles for something Sora would want.

Axel quirked an eyebrow, reaching out, pulling out a CD by the twisted Sisters. "Right. And people say I dress weirdly." he handed the CD to Roxas. "You are better looking then him. "He teased, nudging his old friend.
"Lot of people lost friends during the war." He shrugged. "Don't have time to mourn."

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

"Friends are different to parents, Axel. Sure enough, we don't mourn people anyway, since we don't have the heart to do it." He shook his head a little. "Sora is still just a normal, sixteen year old boy. He needs time to mourn his parents."

"And I am not better looking. We look the same except I'm blonde."

[axel-rp.livejournal.com]

"Blondes have more fun. And I mourn. I was pretty upset when you left the Organisation, and pretty angry when you pretended to know me when your memories had been taken away. And I don't have a heart either." He shrugged.
"Perhaps I accidentally grew one." he snickered.

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

"You'd know if you had a heart. I've had a heart twice now. It is the worst feeling in the world to be ripped from your heart for a second time. So... empty." He mumbled, his hands finding his pockets again.

[axel-rp.livejournal.com]

"I guess I cant really imagine it. Ive never had one." He pocketed his hands aswell." Found your cd soon? This store is friggin hot!" he shifted his weight back and forth.

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

"Maybe if you wore something, I dunno, normal you'd be alright." He glanced at Axel before picking up a CD and heading to pay for it. Once he had, he walked to the door and out, continuing back towards Balamb Garden.

"Well, I'm sorry princess, but the Darkness don't really have fashion stores." He followed. "I'd redress if I had any other clothes, but I was too occupied trying to track you then to care how I looked."

[half-of-a-heart.livejournal.com]

Roxas laughed, nudging him a little. "I'm sure we can get you something at Garden. Normal clothes, y'know?" He paused a moment before turning to Axel and hugging him, burying his face in the taller man's chest.

"That would be ni-" He cut himself off as Roxas hugged him. For a second, he was dumbfounded, before he wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. "I missed you to" He said softly, holding him tight.
