He nodded, knowing fully well the feeling that she was describing. “I’m sorry that you forgot about your friends, but I take it that you remember them now,” He said, taking her hand in his and holding it on his lap,…
Kairi could feel her heart aching. She was going to lose him. What if she forgot him? Kairi cuddled into him as he sat her between his legs. The stars seemed brighter than they were, and the moon cast eerie shadows on the small waves. She looked from the waves then up at him, blushing at what he said next; then gasping at the offer he proposed.
Sora and Riku, her best friends, would never even consider her coming along on one of their journeys. They’d always told her to wait and stay on the islands where she was “safe”. And here Axel was, requesting her to come with him— not because he wasn’t concerned for her safety, but because he wanted her to be by his side regardless. He wouldn’t leave her behind like she always was with everyone else, and that made her weak with love. “You don’t even have to ask..” she murmured into his neck as she clung to him, relieved. “Of course I want to go. I can’t say I’d be okay without you.. in all honestly I’d probably fall apart..” she admitted, touched her lips to his cheek.
He felt his skin tingle after she kissed his cheek and a smile tugged at his lips. “Are you sure?” He asked, not wanting her to make a snap decision because she had spent one night with him. Even if he did think they had bonded so much over the last few hours, if she went with him and ended up regretting the decision when it was too late…he didn’t think he could live with that anymore than he could live without her in his life at all. He leaned down and kissed her neck, taking in the scent of her hair and her skin. If she changed her mind, this would be the last chance he’d get.
