[the Roxs in question happens to lazing around in his room, laid back on his bed with his eyes closed and his hands tucked comfortably behind his head, the door cracked open a few inches.]

[he doesn't particularly know where Roxas's room is in this place where every single door looks the same. But it doesn't take him long to find out, quickly managing to spot the familiar head of spiky blond hair. And the sensation that yes, this is his Roxas. He pushes the door open slightly but stays by the doorframe, not going in yet.]

Rox?

[he quirks a brow first at the sound of his name, and then opens his eyes, sitting up and leaning his weight back on his hands. he smiles a little at the sight of his friend.]

Axel.

[the smile is echoed, though it might be a bit more empty than Roxas's.]

Can I come in? I've gotta talk to ya about something.

[he nods, quickly scrubbing his face with his hands, as if to rub the laziness out of himself.]

Sure.

[steps into the room, letting the door close behind him, walking over and leaning on the wall near the bed.]

What would you say if I said I found a way out of here?

[he seems to perk up at this, smiling a little more.]

You found a way out? Really?

[well, he seems happy enough with the idea...]

Yeah, I did.

[pauses] It'll take us back to the same spot when we left. Or so I've heard.

[his smile falls a little, but not much.]

So...I'll go back to Twilight Town...

[ope, smiles falling a little more.]

[he nods]

You'll still remember this place though.

[there was an "and me" in there too, but Axel just leaves it unsaid.]

Oh..

[he tries for another smile.]

I bet everyone's excited.

Yeah, guess so.

[and he lets some moments elapse before speaking, not completely sure he wants to tell Roxas this]

You know I'm going to take you back to the Organization, right.

[yeah, he's not smiling anymore. he goes silent, just staring at Axel. ..and then, biting the inside of his cheek, he shakes his head, looking away.]

[walking towards the bathroom to wash his face, which is wet and stained with tears]

...Axel?

[stops, though he doesn't look at Demyx.]

Yeah?

[wipes his face with the back of his arm, shifts uncomfortably]

...Looking for Roxas?

Yep. Think we might be leaving soon.

...Oh.

Really...

How soon is soon?

...Is this it?

[nods, finally glancing at Demyx - and the tears don't escape his notice.]

This is it.

[even if his words weren't echoing the other's, they would've still sounded hollow to Axel]

[looks at him, quiet cough in the back of his throat]

[rushes at him and clings tight, fingers digging into the back of his coat, face buried in his shoulder, trying to take everything in for the last time - how he feels, how he smells, the sound of his "heart"...]

[finally pulls away and looks up at his face, a sad, somewhat adoring smile, eyes studying Axel's face]

[swallows, forcing himself to speak] ...It's too sudden. [shakes head, tears in his eyes again] It really is, but... I-I know it's for the best.

[looks up, takes the side of Axel's face in his hand, strokes it with his thumb, decides to risk sounding corny] A-Axel. Please don't... forget me. Or anything... Okay?

[trying his hardest to control himself and not become hysterical, wants to remember this well] ...I r-really don't want you t-to g-go...

[he just. He has absolutely no idea of what to think right now, much less has a response to all of this. Sure, this is coming from the guy who said he loves him - but Axel has never felt comfortable in those moments to start with. Axel goes with it, but his hold on Demyx is no less tight.]

Heh. Quit sending me mixed messages, Dem.

[looks like it isn't just not wanting to go back to the Organization.]

[grins at him] Heh.

Sorry.

...I know you have to go. [takes a deep breath] I'll be okay.

[smiles with weary eyes, touching the side of his face] Have a good life. Please.

I know it's back to the Organization, but at least try to enjoy it. And that doesn't have to last forever, right?

[laughs] Doesn't seem like anything does...

But I knew that already, I guess.

[faint smile]

'course. Live fast, die young, and leave a pretty corpse, y'know?

[leans forward and gives Demyx a kiss, lingering as if he had all the time left in the world]

[smiles back at him, knows he's going to miss that sense of humor]

[kisses him deeply, taking in the final rush, the touch of his lips, realizing this is it - this is the last one and he has to remember it.]

[places a hand on his chest around the area of his Nobody symbol, speaks quietly, smiling] I know you have a heart, Axel. ...Somewhere.

And I'll always miss you.

[brings up a hand and presses it against Demyx's, briefly interlinking their fingers together.]

Yeah. Same here, Dem.

[from the look of it, he might've been about to say something else, but that quickly passes - the unsaid words replaced by a casual smile, as if Axel's not about to just disappear from Demyx's life. He slips his hand away, lowering it back to his side]

Well. Stay out of trouble and all that.

See ya.

[turns and walks away with a backwards wave.]
