Sora fell. It was all over.
    
There was a bright light.


    Axel walked thought the wheat fields, the golden stalks where beautiful and soft, it didn't break so you wouldn't leave a trail. Perfect, that’s what it was, of course it was, it had to be. He tilted his head up and felt the soft snow gently landing on his face. The perfect white, cold puffballs blew by the soft breeze that ruffled the grass. The sun shone above him, the snow was now mixing with rain. Axel imagined how beautiful it would be tonight. It wasn't night now; it hadn't been for a long time. When he wanted night, it would come. Time had stopped; it had been stopped for a while. Ever since he had gotten there, all that lay in front of him was a vast field of wheat.
    I never would stop raining, or snowing, the wheat would never die. This place was ‘him’. Ever stalk of wheat represented every one of his memory, ever rain drop was one of the many time he had felt pain, every snow puff was one of his hope and dreams, the sun was every time he had felt happiness, the sun had been his heart, the breeze had been his love for that one being. Still, there was so much rain, so much rain. He should feel sorrow for how much rain had fallen. Still, all he felt was content and peace, now, the rain, it was so beautiful.
    Axel reached down and plucked one of the stalks of wheat, it glowed in his hand, he closed his eyes...
            There he had been, Roxas, and him, the had been talking, it was night, they were in front of the many tall building in the World that Never Was. Axel had asked if Roxas loved him, Roxas had said yes, that was their first kiss.
    Axel opened his eyes and let go of the wheat. It blew away and turned to dust, just as a new one sprouted up from where he had plucked it.
    There was something, something in the distance, something coming towards him. Who? What? Axel started to walk towards it. How could it have ended up here? As the thing came into view Axel breathed in. It was... Roxas.
    It was Roxas who was coming towards him. At that same moment Roxas realized this to, he ran towards and into Axel's arms. Axel's happiness grew, it was really him!
    "Axel!" Roxas said, the blond held on to him tightly. Axel looked down at him. Roxas looked up.
    "Roxas, you're, you're really here." Although Axel's lips never moved Roxas heard him. Without thinking Axel leaned down and kissed the blonds lips. It had never felt like this, their kiss, it had always felt, so, earthbound, it had always been in times of sadness too. This time was different, now, there was on one coming, no time that would be lost, nothing to worry about. Axel's kiss deepened, he was insides Roxas's mouth, it had been so long since he had tasted him. The same applied to Roxas who ran his hand down Axel's face, it had been so long.
    Something wasn't right, Axel tasted something, something metallic and warm, something salty. Axel withdrew his tongue from Roxas's mouth and gently bit his loves neck. When he pulled back he saw there was blood on Roxas's neck, blood from Axel's mouth, blood that had been in Roxas's mouth. Then is suddenly hit him.
    "Roxas, wait, you can't be here, here’s, no where, here’s, not- here-"
    "Haven, I know." Roxas replied without a sound from his mouth, they couldn't speak, just think. "I, you said we'd see each other in the next life right?"
    Axel hugged Roxas. "No, I want to see you, for what you were." here, you looked like how you wanted. There were no limits on how beautiful you could look. Roxas looked the same as he always did. Same outfit, but Axel knew that's not how it had ended. One asking to see another for what they truly were was like asking you to get naked, or at least, to put on last weeks cloths. Roxas began to change in front of Axel.
    His gold hair became ruffled and messy, his cloths ripped and tattered, his skin dirty, his eyes dull, his Keyblade appeared in his hand, it had been chipped and scrapped. Then came the blood. A slow stain grew on the right side of his head, it slowly trickled down his face like a tear, he had tears, tear stains. Roxas coughed once and blood leaked from his mouth, bruises covered his face and his arms were scraped, rivers of crimson trickled down them. He had an ever-growing blood patch on his side. His cloths had been ripped there and now it appeared that there was a hole right though him. Roxas looked up at Axel's shocked and horrified face. "I'm sorry... it's doesn't hurt."
    "Roxas..." Axel said and wrapped his arms around his lover. "What happened to you? Roxas............... it hurts me to see you like this."
    "It's okay now, it doesn't hurt. Sora, Sora the one that’s hurting. Soras still down there. I, I wanted to see you so badly dying didn’t matter."Roxas smiled. "My last thought were 'if I am to die, I want to go where Axel is.' So now I'm here."
    Axel, for the first time in a long time felt pain. The rain quickened and some of Roxas's blood began to wash away. It hurt Axel, it hurt him so much, his love was there with him, but was dead, had welcomed death, all for him. It still wasn't right, it wasn't to late. He could still do it. Roxas didn't deserve this. He tenderly kissed Roxas, licking the blood away from the inside of his mouth.
    "I won't let you." He said softly. "You need to got back."
    Roxas pulled away. "What? What do you mean? I'm here, I came because I love you, you said we'd meet in the next life...I love you Axel it's because I love that I'm here."
    "And it's because I love you that I can't let you stay." Axel said gently. "I love you Roxas, you never deserved to die, you still have a life ahead of you, I can't let you end it all now." Axel ran a hand though Roxas's ruffled hair. "It's because I love you that you have to go back, I can't have you die for me."
    "No, Axel, no, don't make me! It'll hurt to much if I go back now, in my heart and in my body, Axel, please, I'm here." Roxas tried to protest.
    "No" Axel said more firmly. "I can't let you and if you love me you'll understand. Would you have wanted me to die for you?"
    Roxas's paused. "No, I wouldn't have." He looked down. "No Axel, I-I."
    "Have to go back, who will take care of Namine?"
    "I................... I love you though."
    "I do too. With all my heart, that’s why I can wait. I'll wait for you." Axel tilted Roxas's head towards him. "I promise. But only if you go back............."
            Roxas looked into Axel's eyes and slowly nodded. Axel bent and once more kissed him. Deeper than every, with more passion than they had every felt, Roxas clung to Axel's cloak. Axel held Roxas and slowly Roxas began to fade, He faded into the breeze, soon Axel wasn't holding anything. That was all right; at least he could still taste him.
    Slowly, from the ground, something began to take form it was a small blue flower. It had gown and blossomed where Roxas stood just seconds ago. Axel's gently plucked it. A new grew in its place, Axel held the small flower to his neck, yes, he felt a pules through it. Not his though. The rain lessened and the breeze felt soft, the sun shone brighter thought the wheat field.
    "Yes,” he thought. "I'll wait."


    Roxas felt cold, human, sorrow, pain. But he was wrapped by something warm. he was once with Sora again he knew that even if his eyes weren't open. There were drops of water on his face, yes, he could feel his face. Slowly Sora opened his eyes. He was being cradled by Kairi who was crying, Riku was holding both of them. When he saw Sora open his eyes, his face turned to astonishment and Kairi cried harder. That didn't matter.
    Your alive! Namine's thoughts penetrated Soras mind and into Roxas's. Your alive! She was crying. Namine hugged him.
    "Yea" Sora and Roxas said as one. "Were alive..."


                    

                    "And Axel says 'hi'".
