Don’t Go: A Kingdom Hearts story


Today had started out so perfect. I never knew it would be the last happy time I would ever know. I had finished my reports for the Organization early, as to not be late for the plans I had later on that evening. I had been so full of joy and anticipation. Not knowing that just worlds away, the candle of my existence was being snuffed. I look back on my so innocent self and wonder how I could not have known. He was part of me after all, why didn’t I feel anything while it was happening? I had retired early to my room and took out the hidden box under my bed. Inside was the most precious gift that had ever been given to me. I remember the day the gift was given to me so clearly in my mind. It shimmers like the ocean, reminding me to never forget.


“Roxas keep up!” Sora shouted to me as he chased Pluto down the sandy beach.

His hair shone in the late afternoon sun. The orange sphere was low on the horizon and the water reflected its tapestry of gold, magenta, sunburst and violet. It was like the opening to another world, one never seen before. The sand was warm on my bare feet and the light breeze was nice as it went through my hair.

“Roxas?” Sora whispered as he came up behind me.

I was startled and jumped a bit, earning a laugh from him. He came up and showed me the shell in his sandy hands. A pink blush graced his cheeks and his sapphire eyes danced with delight.

“This is for you.” He said.

I blinked at him then took the shell in my own hands. It was star shaped and had a little crown in the middle. I smiled at him and was about to thank him when it started to glow. The glow grew to a massive size, then as the glow faded away I looked in awe at the key blade in my grasp.

“Wha-What is this?” I had asked my companion. Sora looked down to the ground now, his bright cheeks deepening a shade.

“Um… Well… Merlin and Donald helped me with the design and…” He trailed off. I waited for him to regain his thoughts. “It’s for you. I made it myself. I…I wanted you to have a token of how much I care for you. Because… I…”. He looked to me then and smiled weekly “I… love you Roxas. I know you’re my nobody but… that just makes me feel like I love you even more because it means you're already a part of me. And I am so glad you’re a part of me Roxas, I’ll go with you wherever you want to.”. That had been the first time he had confessed his feelings to me. I had been in shock. I had expected that day to be a friendly day at the beach and nothing more. I must have been silent for a long time because he asked “Do… You not feel the same way about me, Roxas-chan?”. I shook myself and tried to say something, but I couldn’t. In the end I held up the key blade and swung it.

“This is nicely crafted. You must have spent hours on it. I will not reject your gift, it will be nice to have something so beautiful fighting at my side.”. It sounded so…corny in a way. But he didn’t seem to mind. His smile was so brilliant and full of joy. He threw himself at me, glomped me really, and we fell in the sand together hugging. I was not accustomed to intense emotions, the feeling of utter happiness blew me away and I started laughing. I stopped however when I looked at his face. The sun had cast his face in romantic lights and shadows. His eyes seemed like dark, mysterious caves with pixies caught it them. He lowered his head to mine and our lips touched. The kiss was so innocent and warm. The cool and wet surf washed over our bodies at that precise moment. But we didn’t care.


Looking back on that time now brings so many tears to my cheeks I can’t bare it. I took the Oathkeeper out from under my bed and set it on the mattress. In just a few hours, the time I had waited so long for would arrive. We had been apart for quite a while. Trying to keep our relationship under everyone’s radar was not the easiest thing. Considering the groups either of us belonged to were enemies, I suppose you could call us a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet. I then went to the bathroom, took off my black coat and pants, and got in the shower.


Once clean I combed my hair, and dressed in the beige outfit my other liked so much. I pulled the black coat over it and pulled up the zipper all the way. I could not afford to be careless. A knock at my door alarmed me, for nobody ever came to my room except maybe Demyx and Axel. I opened it and was surprised to see Zexion. He looked at me with disinterest before saying simply “Axel needs you.” and walked away. I was… confused to say the least.


Upon entering my former lovers room I was appalled to see Axel lying on his bed with deep gashes across his chest and abdomen. Blood trickled down his forehead and he coughed violently every few moments, hacking blood onto the pillow and himself. Crimson pools were soaking into the sheets and mattress. The Superior, Xemnas, was leaning against the wall looking up something in a book, and Demyx was kneeled by Axel’s side and clutching his hand. He smiled to me as I entered, and whispered something to Axel. Axel gasped violently then coughed some more before motioning me over. I hesitantly walked forward and took his other hand. “Axel?” I said gently, my only answer was a tightening of the grip on my hand. Xemnas then walked over and set a vial down next to me.


“Give him that now, and I’ll go see what I can do about his other wounds.”. Then the superior left. I cringed at how sometimes it seemed that only I and Demyx cared for the redhead next to us. Demyx had been the one to coax the liquid down Axel's throat. I will admit that it did work, because Axel stopped coughing and started breathing normally. I remember my relief at seeing this, now I look back on that and wish I had ended his suffering right as I entered the room.

“Rox…”

“I’m here Axel.”

“G…Good. Demyx can you give us… a moment alone.” Axel coughed. Demyx seemed puzzled but left without a word. Once the door shut Axel leaned upwards and managed to situate himself into a sitting position.

“Axel…what happened to you?” I asked in honest worry.

“I love you, Roxas.” He said, not answering my question. My eyebrows furrowed and I shook my head.

“I know Axel, and I love you too. But it’s over between us. I can’t deny my heart's wishes.”

“… You’re the only Nobody in this Organization that has a heart.” He said almost conversationally. I nodded. “Does your heart… truly not wish to be with me any more?” He asked. I looked at him and sighed.

“It’s not that. I do enjoy your company and-”

“Then why won't you be with me!” He yelled and crushed me to him in a fierce hug. I thrashed and pushed against him trying to get free but his arms tightened around my smaller form. I called his name, telling him to let go, but my cries only fell on deaf ears. “It’s him, isn’t it?” I heard him hiss. “It’s that fool. He’s tainted you and lead you away from our path.”. It was at that time that I started getting a really sickening feeling. It seemed to flow through my blood and fill my body with dread.

“What have you done to Sora!”

“….”

“Tell me Axel!” I demanded, clenching my fists into his cloak. He still didn’t answer. With one final shove I was able to break myself free. I burst from the room, begging that what was happening right that moment was just a sick dream. I ran into my room, took the Oathkeeper and slammed it into the ground. I called on its power, pleading with it to take me to Sora.


I traveled through the dimensions of all the worlds. All of my memories, both his and mine, seemed to flood back to me. I remembered meeting Leon for the first time, I remembered fighting Cloud. I remembered the one rainy night in Twilight Town when I fought Riku. Every emotion he had felt, every emotion I had felt, surfaced and seemed to burn inside my body, mixing with the pain and fear I was feeling at that moment. It was all so intense, I cried out into space.


I searched all over Twilight Town until I found what my fears had confirmed. In a small room at the back of the ally I found him . Crimson life coated the walls and stained the floor below where he lay. I walked over to him, set down my two key blades and kneeled next to him. How could this have happened, in a few hours we were to meet here, that was our plan. But we were not suppose to meet like this, no… never like this.


“Roxas?” came a hoarse whisper. I nearly overflowed with joy at the sound of his words. I rolled him over on his back and placed his head in my lap. His eyes fluttered before focusing on my face. He smiled, causing a spurt of blood to come from his head. “Roxas.” he said again in a happy tone. It clenched my heart just to look at him. I hadn’t realized I had been crying until I saw my tears falling on his chest. “Why are you crying Roxas-chan?”. I smiled at that, innocent and boyish as always.

“Because… I couldn’t protect you. You’re about to die and it’s all my fault.” I heard myself say, though the words didn’t register fully in my brain. Sora coughed and grinned up at me.

“No, I just forgot to duck.” He said, trying to laugh but it came out as a wheeze and he coughed blood onto my chest. I smiled at him and held him close. I could feel his pain. I could feel the deep gash across my back, the numerous beatings to my stomach and face. I felt them as if they were my own. It hurt so much, and I still could hear his beating heart, could feel his feelings for me even in his few moments left to live.


I stood and drew my dark keyblade. I gazed into his eyes as I raised the weapon above his chest. His eyes read surprise at first, but then he smiled at me. It broke me, broke all of me. I plunged it into his chest. A strangled gasp… then nothing. The suffering was over, the pain gone. I collapsed to the ground, my hand went to his cheek. My blood stained hand smeared his still soft and warm flesh. My tears fell freely, I no longer cared about them. I screamed in agony and fell on his chest.

I lifted my head when I saw a crimson light shining behind me. I looked. The Oathkeeper was glowing blood red… and shaking violently.


The color grew more intense, then… It shattered. A peace of the blade shot through the air and hit Roxas right between the eyes. No pain came. He could, for just a second, feel the blood running down his face. He fell backwards, on top of his other. On top… of his love.
