Notes: First off, this being the day KHII is released, I figured I'd post a story. That and I'm impatient. The more stories I post the closer I am to finishing. Note 2: Prsonally I think Zex might be a bit OOC. But you can be the judge of that.
It had been a challenge to search the entire castle, but Axel had been bored and what he was looking for was worth finding. He had searched from the towers to the cellar twice before he ever considered looking outside. The rain had been falling in torrents for the past two days, for the most part locking all thirteen of them inside. Possibly being outside would be better for some of them, if it meant being alone. Axel headed for the foyer and the gothic doors.
Staying in the doorway, as far out of the rain as he could get, Axel surveyed the yard, finally finding what he had been looking for at the cost of a little wet wind. Zexion stood in the middle of the landscape, his face turned up towards the sky. Axel got the feeling he was staring up at it, not reveling below it.
“You have a hood for a reason, you know,” Axel shouted out to him, less jokingly than he had intended, stepping out of the doorway and into the rain. Zexion looked around, not replying, just watching as Axel approached.
“When the sky is this dark it seems to go on forever.” Axel could tell from the tone of his voice, even over the sound of the rain, that it depressed Zexion. The rain made it hard for him to smile.
“They say, you know, that rain drops are really lemon drops, and that if you drink the rain you can taste them,” Axel said, hoping to lighten the other’s mood. He had reached Zexion now, expecting to see him smile softly, tilt his head back, and play the game for Axel.
But Zexion’s smile was hardly there, and he didn’t tilt his head back nearly enough. Instead Zexion leaned up and barely kissed Axel, their lips hardly brushing at all. When Zexion moved back away, Axel was still too shocked to move, letting the water matt his hair to his forehead, heavy drops sliding down his face.
“I could taste the rain, but this is so much sweeter than lemon drops.”
