Mmm, I like your impression of Roxas, but he doesn't seem quite so monotonous in the English version--but then, I don't know what he's like in the Japanese one. (And, as much as I hate to admit it, Jesse McCartney doesn't do too bad of a job. He rather fits Roxas, at least at certain points.)
And their interaction is so wonderful, fitting their characters especially well--Roxas: stubborn, hard to get through to, and defiant in his own silent way, and Axel: openly defiant, obviously insecure about some things, and, of course, an almost constant feeling of desperateness when it comes to dealing with Roxas. It's quite adorable. :)
Gah. I rambled. Apologize. I did enjoy it, though! Thanks for sharing. I suppose I'm kind of in a reviewing mood. And a Kingdom Hearts mood, after playing the game for almost four days straight just to beat it...
Oh, and I just remembered--he does appear to be monotone, sullen, and inexpressive in the flashback of Axel trying to persuade him not to leave The World that Never Was. Or whatever it's called....
I like to have a longer scene than that, because Roxas can't be that unemotional throughout his stay in the Order, but his sentence, "No one would miss me/be sad (Japanese)" is very telling on how he feels the Order doesn't care about him (but when you play through the game practically everyone in the Org hollers for Roxas to come back). So I get the feeling that he's apathetic throughout the Order, doesn't see how much Axel cares for/loves him, and never will.
Everyone else seems to think that TwT!Roxas is his true personality, whereas I feel it's already being merged with Sora, that's why he's more emotional then.

But if you're going off that--you pulled it off nicely, for only having a miniscule bit to go off of.
