[ When Sora thinks about losing people he thinks about searching for Kairi and Riku and he thinks about watching Riku disappear behind the impossible door, telling Sora to take care of Kairi and Sora wanting to tell him that wasn't how this was supposed to work. He thinks about goodbyes and he thinks about people who don't even get the chance for goodbye; he thinks about Axel and not just because he's with Roxas, but because Axel left a specific impression on Sora was well, individual.
As they walk he keeps the blond close in the crook of his arm about his shoulders, as well as the measure of his step, everything syncing even though he's not trying for that especially - only to stay together. ]
I think...friends should tell each other as much as they can. I mean...I used to think that was everything. But then I started to realize what if there's something I could protect someone from, you know? Or if I thought I could. [ He trails off a little quietly, not sheepish so much as unsure because he knows that there's a lot of room for error there, but everything seems to have that. Sora wants his friends safe and he wants them to have happiness and to know that they are loved and appreciated. Sora wants what in Sora's head all friends want for each other, but what Axel ended up wanting for Roxas - and by proxy Sora too - was singular and striking with it: a chance in the end not just to know who he was but understand and maybe find closure with it, a gift he couldn't really get from anyone but himself - and Sora, who is technically a part of himself anyway, and vice-versa.
He inhales slowly, cheeks puffing out somewhat comedic and making him look younger before he lets it go, steering the both of them clear of a gaggle of other people. ] But I think you're right...that he was afraid I mean.
And I know he cared about you.
[ Sora isn't sure if Roxas is questioning that or not but he figures it might help to hear from someone else, even if that person is still just Sora. ]
He seemed to feel a lot. Not just for someone who's not supposed to, but for anyone. I couldn't always tell what it was but I knew they were real - the feelings.
