Burn
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters from Kingdom Hearts nor am I making any money by writing this.
A/N: This is it. The final chapter of Burn. Though it's more like an epilogue. Sorry if it sucks.
 
Epilogue: Axel
Life continued on after I woke up. Things didn't really change that much. Well, except that Roxas and I started dating. Unofficially, of course, since we weren't really supposed to be intimate with each other. We managed to get around that.
I talked with Ansem about my memories and we worked through all that. I was really angry with my parents for what they did, though I slowly got over that.
Demyx was the first of our little “group” to get released from the Psychiatric Ward. He finally came out and admitted that he was gay, though we all kinda already knew it after he was caught having sex with Zexion. Even after Demyx was released, the two of them still managed to keep in contact.
I was the second to leave the Psych Ward. I still had a lot of scars from the fire, but luckily, they're easy to hide. I confronted my parents and then promptly moved out. They were convicted of child abuse among other things and were sentenced to time in prison. I moved in with Reno for a couple months until I was able to get my own place.
Roxas stayed in the hospital for a while longer, but finally got out and moved into his godparents' house. It was only temporary, but became permanent after a long custody battle. He was a lot happier after he moved out of his parents' home and his godparents were very glad to have him there.
He kept in contact with Demyx and me. When he wasn't trying desperately to catch up on all the school he had missed, he had lunch dates with Demyx and me. With the help of summer school, a really good tutor, and some luck, he graduated. On time. It was fucking amazing. He started college as well. Demyx and I had both dropped out of school, but after some coaxing from Roxas, both of us got our high school certificates and went on to attend college.
Zexion's story is a bit lengthier. He stayed in the Psych Ward a lot longer than the rest of us. He battled depression for a while. But he finally managed to get his life back on track and was released from the hospital. He graduated and attended college like the rest of us.
He still had several episodes of depression, but they weren't nearly as bad as before. He and Demyx kept in contact and remained friends for a long time. They eventually started dating and moved in together.
As for Roxas and myself, we also took our relationship slow. But we did start dating…officially. We got an apartment together and have been living together ever since.
And we're happy together

A/N: Oh my god, it's over! It's really over. It's been over a year since I first started Burn. It was actually the first Kingdom Hearts story I ever wrote, so it has a special place in my heart. I probably won't be updating Tattered Soul for a little while only because I have finals next week so the rest of this week and next week will be really busy for me. Plus I want to work on A Nobody's Christmas since it is that time of the year. I will try to update Tattered Soul at least once before the new year. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. You know who you are. Your reviews really mean a lot to me!
Oh yes, and I did finish NaNoWriMo. Barely. I made it to 50,053 words and then stopped because I didn't care anymore. The novel was a mess and I just couldn't work on it anymore. But I won.
