Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
Pairing: Axel/Naminé
Theme set: Alpha
Rating: PG-13
Slight spoilers for some of the ending bits in Chain of Memories.
#01 - Comfort
There was comfort in the dark--she was already so far from the light--and he was always there to strike a match if she lost her way.
#02 - Kiss
Naminé never figured him to be gentle and he wasn't, not even when he was trying to be.
#03 - Soft
Naminé knows she shouldn't be feeling soft sheets on her back, but she makes no move to get up.
#04 - Pain
She was never surprised when Axel hurt her; what surprised her was when he didn't.
#05 - Potatoes
"You'll never get good food in this place," he scoffed, "Come out with me, just once," but she just blushed, shaking her head, and he knew what it was--Marluxia wouldn't allow it; Axel crossed his arms, looking angry and dejected, "Fuck, I really wanted some mashed potatoes."
#06 - Rain
Naminé wonders if even the rain could quench Axel's fire.
#07 - Chocolate
The hot chocolate burnt her tongue and Axel tried to help soothe it, but he was too hot.
#08 - Happiness
You say you're happy to have Sora come for you, but, then again, you've always been a terrible liar.
#09 - Telephone
Axel whispers in her ear, but the meaning is lost.
#10 - Ears
She ran her finger along an ear of the stuffed bunny Axel had given her, "How childish."
#11 - Name
"That wasn't his name," she replied as she shook her head, "Not quite;" he just smiled, "Kairi isn't your name either."
#12 - Sensual
She thinks she would like her first crush to be him.
#13 - Death
"You did it Axel," she shouted at him, "You've killed them all. You happy now?" He looked sideways at her, "No, not all;" He wasn't responding to her question.
#14 - Sex
Axel was the one to show her just how vulnerable Marluxia could be.
#15 - Touch
One finger lightly taps her side, drawing its way down to her hip--for he is an artist too--before he puts his hands on her shoulders and steers her away.
#16 - Weakness
Such a weak little thing, truly, but as her fingers spread across his arm, he couldn't help feeling weak himself.
#17 - Tears
He likes the taste of her tears, and as he bends her arm back she makes even more.
#18 - Speed
If he went any faster she was going to barf, and that's just the way he liked it.
#19 - Wind
She shivered from the cold of the drafty castle, only to feel black lick down her shoulders as Axel placed his coat around her.
#20 - Freedom
He had freed her, but as she took a glance behind her as she ran from the room, she wondered at what price.
#21 - Life
Neither of them were really alive anyway; he dealt with this by taking life, while she dealt with it by giving life away.
#22 - Jealousy
I don't see why you let that boy hang around you so much; he doesn't even know who he really is.
#23 - Hands
Such small hands, delicate; he could break them--once, twice--on each finger, and then again at the wrist, but he finds he doesn't want to.
#24 - Taste
"Have you ever tasted fire, Naminé?" and before she can respond he pulls her to him, letting the fire consume them.
#25 - Devotion
Love is filled with pain, at least, that's what she keeps telling herself.
#26 - Forever
She hated the word "Forever" because it was so untrue: it never lasted long enough.
#27 - Blood
Whoever made the saying "ignorance is bliss" sure knew their stuff; Axel had never wanted to learn about menstruation.
#28 - Sickness
"I never took you for a lovesick fool," Larxene exclaimed, laughing, and Axel gave her his best death glare, but she only laughed harder, bending over and clutching her stomach; this was going to prove problematic.
#29 - Melody
She had amazing drawing ability, but he couldn't help but laugh when he found out she couldn't hold a tune.
#30 - Star
He watched as Naminé worked the charm into the perfect star she couldn't have.
#31 - Home
They wouldn't call this Oblivion home, but it was all they really had.
#32 - Confusion
The castle bred confusion and euphoria, which could be how they met in the first place.
#33 - Fear
She could never fully relax around him for there was always the fear that the fire would get out of her control.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
"You killed her, you know," he said, thumbing the pages of her sketchbook, "You were the one who turned on her;" Naminé's mouth was set in a firm line, "I know."
#35 - Bonds
The chains that held anything together in the castle were rusted and brittle, fragile; Naminé knew this best of all and that was why she was afraid to let go.
#36 - Market
"We could even market it!" "I don't think that's such--" "Sure it is, and I bet Zexion and Lexaeus would come, maybe learn some new positions that their small minds can't even comprehend--" "Axel!"
#37 - Technology
In the castle experiments went on as common procedure and Naminé did not want to be apart of it; Axel found himself no longer wanting to be apart of it as well.
#38 - Gift
It was a frivolous thing really--the drawing of a garden Naminé had given him--but he kept it all the same, stuck between the matresses where no one would see.
#39 - Smile
When she smiled for him, he found he could honestly smile back--if only for a little while.
#40 - Innocence
He wants to take her innocence for himself because it’s something he can't have.
#41 - Completion
When his plans were complete he told himself that he did not feel regret just because she was apart of it.
#42 - Clouds
She dreams of clouds and high skies, but on the earth the fires grow and grow until they reach for her legs and pull her back to the cage.
#43 - Sky
He wished she didn't love Sky so much.
#44 - Heaven
I wake up to his breath on my cheek and for just a few moments I can be at peace, before we go back to acting like nothing ever happened.
#45 - Hell
Axel wondered what sins Naminé had committed to wind up in this place.
#46 - Sun
Axel showed her the sun, with its waves and spots, and how it was never constant--never the same--but always on fire.
#47 - Moon
Naminé showed him the moon, with its craters and pale complexion, and how it was never perfect--never smooth--but always brilliant.
#48 - Waves
Axel comes to see her as she floats on the waves in Sora's memory; she lies on her back with her hair turning from blonde to wet brown, and he pulls her back from the tide.
#49 - Hair
"Here," he says as he tucks the pink flower into the strands of hair behind her ear, "A memento."
#50 - Supernova
Naminé wants to be there when he finally explodes, to be able to see the bright light bursting from him, even if she dies watching.
