summary
Canonverse || Axel/Roxas || Your name is Roxas. You had another name, once, but you forgot it. You collect rocks, and hate orange-colored food. You like to pretend you prefer being alone, but actually sleep better if there’s someone else in the bed with you, to count the bumps of vertebrae along your spine with their knuckles, maybe liken the shape of their lips to the nape of your neck. Maybe. You also drool in your sleep. Back when I knew you, this happened a lot. You don’t have a heart, but it doesn’t matter because you’re still cooler than over half the bastards out there who do. You made an impression. Hell, sometimes I still feel the bruise. You are everything to me.

It's been awhile since I've read this- I'm due for a reread, but this is one of my favorites. I love Mai's work in general, but this fic specifically gives me shivers. It's eloquent and tragic and beautiful, perfect for the utter tragedy of Axel and Roxas' relationship.
