The Somebody I Need (Roxas x Reader)

IV - Where Friends Are

(F/n)'s P.O.V

I enjoyed my days with them.

We played, we laughed, we talked. Especially talked. There was never nothing to talk about, we always just talked about random things. At that time I wished it would never end, even though at some point it would have to anyway.

Why couldn't I just freeze time?

We were all sitting on the clock tower when suddenly everything just froze in place. The only thing moving was me. It seemed to work only for a few seconds, then everything went back to normal. I decided not to bring it up, but it looked like something was bothering Roxas, and he wouldn't even look at me.

Night came around too quickly, and we all finished walking down the steps from the clock tower and were about to go our separate ways.

"Tomorrow, we're gonna discuss the thievery going around Twilight Town!" Hayner promised, cracking his knuckles, "That Seifer! Tryin' to pin it all on us!" he said angrily. Everyone agreed and said bye to each other when I felt a hand on my wrist.

"(F/n), can we talk for a bit?" said a voice behind me. It was Roxas.

I turned to look at him, "Sure." I shrugged. There was a long silence, too long. I was about to say something, but there was nothing to say.

"Did you see it?" he asked out of the blue.

I blinked, "See... what?"

"When everything just froze. You may think it's crazy but I could've sworn I saw it." Roxas explained. I felt the blood from my face leave. I was standing there as pale as a sick person in a winter's scenery. "(F/n)?" Roxas asked again.

"What? I don't recall..." I scratched my head slowly.

Roxas sighed, "I knew it, it was all just my imagination." he said calmly. He smiled, "Thanks, (Nickname)." He said, then he walked away to his house.

It wasn't your imagination...

While I was walking to the usual spot that day, there was this weird slender figure that seemed to be like a shell of something that was lost, and it moved really quickly. At first, I thought nothing of it and calmly made my way towards the usual spot. When I walked in, Hayner was ranting about the thievery in Twilight Town.

"We gotta catch the real thieves!" he declared with determination.

"Yeah, but how are are we gonna do that?" Olette asked. Roxas was zoned out, so when we got him back to Earth, he added, "We should start by clearing our names." everyone nodded at that. Pence looked over at the table where he usually kept his photos, but he appeared shocked.

"Guys! Our ______, they're gone!" Pence exclaimed. He was surprised that he couldn't say the word.

"Really? The ______?!" Olette repeated in shock, also finding that she couldn't say it.

"And not only the actual ______, but the word too!" Hayner added. "That's it! I'm gonna bust those thieves." Hayner dashed away from the spot in search of the thieves. Everyone including me called after him, chasing after him as well.

We ended up meeting with Seifer, and started arguing with him about the stolen items, which somehow lead up to Roxas and Seifer getting into a fight. It didn't last long with Roxas winning, and then it happened again.

Everything just froze in place. I saw that Roxas was still moving, so I kept still myself, just so he didn't assume anything. He went sprinting to the mansion. That weird old mansion, seriously? I thought to myself, chasing after him. Someone was standing in my way, that same person in the cloak. I jumped back and took out my keyblade, "Who are you?!" I shouted. He unhooded himself and smirked. He had red hair and emerald eyes.

"Just someone who wants to get Roxas back." he explained evilly. I was angered and confused at the same time.

"You must be Axel." I said intensely.

"Well, my fame does spread everywhere if I do say so myself." he shrugged. He took out his weapon. More like, weapons. They were two sort of circular figures with spikes on every end. I believe one would call them... chakrams.

"You're done!" I said, charging at him. He quickly dodged as I swung at him.

"You're feisty, that's for sure." Axel said.

I looked over my shoulder with a killing intent in my eyes, "I won't let you interfere." I said seriously.

"Interfere with what, taking Roxas away? That's exactly why I came to stop you." He stated menacingly. I glared at him when he started walking away. "I can't be here. Not now, at least." he looked at me over his shoulder, "I'll be meeting you again very soon." he smirked, then continued to walk away into some dark portal. I could see that Pence, Hayner and Olette had come to, but for some reason I was feeling faint and very dizzy, and I collapsed as everyone tried desperately to help me up.

Roxas' P.O.V

Whatever that 'thing' was, I hope I never see it again. I went back to where I last saw Hayner, Pence and Olette, and was shocked to see (F/n) unconscious.

"We need to get her back to the usual spot." Olette stated. Hayner nodded and noticed me and explained what happened.

When we got back, we looked at the photos.

"That's a nice photo!" Olette said looking at one of them. Everyone was a bit surprised that we finally got to say the word. We scanned another one. "A girl..." Olette nudged.

"You look happy." Hayner said.

"Do not." I snapped immediately. I was a little disappointed about how I couldn't tell them much about the thief, even though we were trying to clear our names.

"Hey, anyone else notice that all the stolen pictures are of Roxas?" Pence pointed out. It was true, every single one of them had me in them. "Wouldn't it be weird if the thief wanted to steal the real Roxas or something?" he suggested.

"Come on, get serious! Why would anyone want to steal a bonehead like Roxas?" Hayner joked.

"Oh, thanks!" I said. We all burst out in a fit of laughter. When everyone left, I decided to go out for a few seconds, where the painful sunlight went into my eyes.

"Where... am I? Who's there? Who are you?"

No reply.
