Disclaimer: I had a LOT of trouble with this prompt, for some reason. It took me three tries and three completely different ideas before I finally came up with this, which I'm somewhat pleased with. It's a bit short, but ah well... For
_kasihime_.
Prompt: Crumble
I hate you so much that I can’t bear to be close to you.
It’s your fault I am this way, you bastard. It’s your fault I’m cursed. It’s your fault that I no longer have a soul.
Each time I see you, I want to rip the fake smile off your lips so that only your teeth grin. I can’t stand how you can smile even without a heart. It makes you seem even less human. You smile the way a dog smiles - unwittingly, and only to bear your teeth.
And when you fawn over Roxas. That’s when I hate you most.
I hate you so much that I can’t stand to be away from you
I wanted to be the one to kill you in this life. You deserved nothing less than a death as violent as the one I intended for you. I had plans for you, Axel. I wasn’t going to let you die on your own terms. You didn’t deserve that.
And yet you let yourself just crumble in the end. You blew away like sand. Like a bad memory. I could see you smirk as you did it, the way you’d always smirked at me in battle, or in your bed. Everything between us was combat.
I’ll follow you into the next life, no matter where it is. I’ll follow you into hell. I’ll make you die the death you deserve, Axel. I’ll make you suffer.
