The Man Once Named Axel

[aftertheflame]

[Just outside the House of Mouse, a man walked down the street. He woke up in an alley just moments ago, not sure how he got there. Or how he's even alive. Moments ago he helped Sora, unfortunately that took pretty much all his strength and energy. Needless to say he kinda sorta.... Well died. Consumed in darkness and that like.

As walked through the streets, it was quiet, not many people were around, but the Downtown area had a lot of lights on. He breathed in the air, he felt... Different somehow... A heartbeated in his throat, where was he? Was he near Sora, again? What was going on?

Pausing the man looked in the mirror, he touched his cheek where his tattoos once were. They were gone...

... Was he... Finally free from them now? Is it possible that he...? Looking down at himself, he noticed the same organization coat, shaking his head at the possibilities. Biting his lip, what did this all mean?!]

((NO SPOILERS PLEASE--I haven't played the game, this is just to see what could happen if I played him from the very beginning. So pretty much this is all headcanon for now. So please no spoilers.))

Lea, I don't want ice cream, I want to talk.

[aftertheflame]

What about?

[beforethemoon]

Like I said, something's bothering you. And, like always, you're all too eager to avoid it.

[aftertheflame]

Believe me, it's nothing you should worry about. Besides you're safe right now, that's all that matters.

[beforethemoon]

Why wouldn't I be safe?

[aftertheflame]

...

[Looks away.]

[beforethemoon]

You're starting to scare me, Lea.

[aftertheflame]

... Sorry.

[beforethemoon]

Is... that all?

[aftertheflame]

[Head hangs. Has a sorta sad face.]

[beforethemoon]

What happened to you?

[aftertheflame]

I told you Isa...

It's a long story ok? Don't worry about it.

[beforethemoon]

Then what am I supposed to do!

1/2

[aftertheflame]

[Holds his arms.]

Just stay by me! Ok!

I'll keep you safe!!

2/2

[aftertheflame]

... I mean...

Shoot...

[Looks down then lets go as he rubs his forehead.]

Oh, why is this happening? Why is this happening?!

Re: 2/2

[beforethemoon]

You're not making any sense!

[aftertheflame]

Isa-It-...

[Grips his fists.]

... It's something that happened in the past.

[beforethemoon]

I get hurt, don't I?

[aftertheflame]

...

[Looks back down again.]

... We... Both do...

[beforethemoon]

[His eyes are welling up]

[aftertheflame]

[Without a word he comes over to hug Isa.]

I'm sorry... I'm so sorry.

[beforethemoon]

Lea...

[aftertheflame]

It's alright.

I promise, I won't let your heart be taken. Not again.

[beforethemoon]

What?

[aftertheflame]

...

[Lets go, really sad face here. Isa.]
