(Riku: Roxas - Somewhere In Time continued…)
“What?”
This time, Axel’s sudden words surprised Roxas, who looked at him.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that.”
Axel turned away from Roxas and took a bite out of his ice-cream. Roxas didn’t know of Axel’s dilemma. Axel didn’t know of Roxas’ dilemma.
“……We may not always be together… huh…” said Roxas.
“We’ve got to make lots of memories,” laughed Axel.
“What are you on about?” asked Roxas, laughing along.
Can beings without hearts have memories?
“Nah, it’s just…”
It’s just… it’s just that, even though Axel didn’t have a heart, he felt something in his chest when he thought that Roxas might be going away.
“Memories… huh…” mumbled Roxas to himself as he gazed at the setting sun.
Next to him, Axel took a bite out of his ice-cream, and he too stared into the sunset.

OH WAIT. THE MANGA SCARED ME… I SAW AXEL ON TOP OF ROXAS? WTH?
Damnit. When the fangirls see it… XD AH!!!

I agree with most of you. They’re really GOOD friends. I know people in real life who act THIS close… but aren’t gay. Is it bad to be REALLY close friends and NOT be assumed as gay? geez. I hate the fact that with the littlest “details”… it CAN be made out to YAOI. Fangirls especially, they’d make a big thing out of it.
&& hey, sorry to say but its true about the pedophile XD …Axels a little to old for Roxas. That’s why I stick to… erm… Soriku instead, if I were to pick a yaoi kh couple. && I just like them. Its my fantasy, but I’m sure Sora and Riku aren’t “gay”. Ah… don’t like labeling XD! but they aren’t. along with Roxas & Axel. BEST FRIENDS YO! It’s just fangirl fantasies… so people can think what they want.
eh, Why the hell do I see more AkuRoku than Namixas? isn’t Namixas cannon? haha. Poor Nami being left out XD…. that’s pretty sad though.

It’s hinted in KH2 that because of Roxas’ special uniqueness, as well as his ability to wield Keyblades, that he does indeed have a heart. Even though he’s a Nobody, he’s a Nobody that breaks the rules, or he’s found some loophole.
I believe that Roxas is a special Nobody that either has a heart, or has such a connection with Sora’s heart such that it’s like having one. And also, it makes sense if Roxas is able to share that connection with other Nobodies, such as Axel (and perhaps Sora can, too, to an extent), which makes these feelings of friendship possible.
Being gay myself, I love how it’s so easy to pair up Axel and Roxas. There are SO MANY hints for it in the game, and in this story. Come on, they’re too close to be best friends. Even if it’s one-sided on Axel’s side.
And just a note: pedophilia is when an adult has lust for young, pre-pubescent children. Lust for teenagers has a different name. But I don’t think Axel lusts after teens or younger people…just Roxas in particular. =P

I think the Axel and Roxas freindship’s pretty sweet, but I’m a Namixas and Larxel fan so I don’t see them as “lovers” or whatever.
Anyway, thanks for posting this! Me and my freind were always wondering how Malifecent just came back like that.
Oh, and Shakespeare, I think it says on Wikipedia Leon’s 25 or something in Kingdom Hearts.

Thanks for posting this!! The Japanese shouldn’t get to have all the fun, lol.
I still keep hearing people say Nobodies have emotions, but it’s not true. They can’t have real emotions, just the memory of them. (It’s like trying to remember your best or worst memory: You may not be able to recreate that emotion you felt on the spot, but at least you can get an idea from the memory you have.)
You can’t lose your heart twice, but maybe Roxas leaving was like losing his heart again for Axel. Even though Axel didn’t have a heart, he felt something in his chest when he thought that Roxas might be going away. Maybe he was having something like phantom pains. Interestingly, those are often described as burning sensations.
NOT gay, dammit. Stop assuming things! They couldn’t even have a real friendship, it says so right there in the beginning. Sad…

i think this right after roxas goes into the organasation
on 13 Jul 2007 at 9:49 am 24. Just a Memory
Also i think that Axel’s saying “got it memorized” is a way of showing that he still has memories and shows that although he is a nobody and therefore doesn’t have a heart there is something there that can only be felt if he knows he is helping Roxas or something connected to Roxas (that’s why he only help Roxas,Sora and Kairi) so yeah i got lots of stuff buzzing through my head at the moment
on 13 Jul 2007 at 9:45 am 23. Just a Memory
Well now i know what i need to buy when i get my wages anyways i thought in KH2 it was pretty clear what Roxas’ and Axel’s relationship was like in the past and now ima try a figure this out…who do all the nobodies belong too…because if you look at some like Roxas get rid of the x and rearrange it then bam you got Sora and Xemnas do the same and you got Ansem so ima carry on my search

Well, if you don’t like yaoi, then don’t look at it. No one says you have to like AkuRoku.
And hello.

Hey, it could be worse. Look at all the Ansem/Riku stuff out there. *shudders* (I leave Riku out of it and pair Ansem with Sephiroth, anyway. They’re in the same /age group/, at the very least…)
I peg Axel at early twenties; definitely not over 25. He kind of has that ‘college kid’ mentality…he can be serious if called upon and knows how to get his job done, but in his interactions with Roxas, he tends to cut loose and be more open about his pseudo-feelings. Also, you cite the style; Riku is only 16 and seems to be drawn in a more mature style. Leon isn’t more than 20, either (especially when you consider the fact that the FF characters tend to look younger than their in-game counterparts).
But I don’t look to AkuRoku for anything beyond cute, fluffy little feel-good moments like them eating ice cream and Roxas blushing, anyway.
on 14 May 2007 at 3:16 am 16. not a pedophile, got it memorized?
Axel’s an adult (has to be in the mid- to late-20’s, based on how he’s drawn compared to younger characters.) Roxas is 14 (or 15 by the time KH2 starts.)
That means, if Axel actually liked Roxas in *that* way, he’d be a pedophile.
Which means, AxelxRoxas is about as far from a “canon” relationship as you can get, no matter how many deranged fangirls believe otherwise… seriously, fangirls who want to fantasize about two guys doing something should just stick with SoraxRiku.

roxas and axel are so gay
on 03 May 2007 at 6:41 pm 14. the name's Ruki
Just because Axel and Roxas are always together doesn’t mean they’re gay, they’re just best friends!

And what’s wrong with gay people?
on 29 Apr 2007 at 4:37 pm 10. J
I believe AxelXRoxas is a relationship in Kingdom Hearts. This has a few bits in that could be considered very mild AkuRoku.
