The Somebody I Need (Roxas x Reader)

VIII - "See You Later"

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

"Bye, (Nickname)." Roxas waved as he started walking away. I smiled, waved back and started walking the opposite way to my house. I hated it when people said 'bye'. Especially from Roxas. I walked home in silence trying to forget the word 'bye'. It always feels like someone's not going to see me forever. And when Roxas says it, it makes me fear the worst that he may just disappear tomorrow, and he could. He really could.

So I don't ever want him to say that word. Ever.

Roxas' P.O.V

For some reason, nothing feels right with the word 'bye'.

I've said it countless times before, but saying that to (F/n), it doesn't seem to feel quite right. It's like... it almost feels like I'm closing the door with the smallest of gaps of my chances with her. I'm not going to deny the fact that I have a crush on her, because I do.

I just don't ever want to say the word 'bye' to her ever again, it's grotesque and meaningless.

And it breaks my heart a little whenever I say it to her.

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

The next morning I got up nice and early to see the sun rise instead of it setting. I quickly changed clothes and started sprinting towards the clock tower. I was so out of breath when I got to the top yet so determined, I forgot to take a breath before sitting down on the edge as usual and watching the sunrise, which was lucky because it just started by the time I sat down. The sun slowly crept above the buildings of Twilight Town, awakening from its slumber.

As soon as the sun was high up in the sky, a familiar someone sat down next to me.

"The sunrise is just as beautiful as the sunset, huh?" Axel said.

"Look, I don't know what it is you want from me, but I refuse to cooperate." I snapped without looking at him.

"Of course not, because you want to make Roxas disappear again, is that right?" he said. I turned to face him and say something to counter-argue that, but he was gone. I looked around, but he had completely disappeared.

"Aw man! I missed it!" a sudden voice said from behind me.

"Roxas!" I exclaimed in surprise.

"Yo, (Nickname)." he smiled and waved before putting his hands in his pockets. He walked towards the edge and sat down next to me, "How are you?" he asked.

"I'm good." I smiled, "Enjoying the sunrise and everything," I added, "alone." I said teasingly. He simply rolled his eyes an looked back out at the sky.

"Man... I still can't believe I missed it!" he said in frustration. "Maybe next time..." he muttered. We talked for a while until we saw the three figures of Pence Hayner and Olette below us. We rushed down to greet them and walked to the usual spot. I could barely stay awake there because of how early I got up.

I sat down legs crossed on the floor, "I'm gonna sleep for a bit, 'kay? I got up pretty early so I'm a bit tired. Sorry." they allowed it so I closed my eyes and slept peacefully.

Roxas' P.O.V

"Well? Someone has to stay here and watch over (F/n)." Hayner shrugged.
