@katebaikiru // closed starter for axel for this plot ♥
HIS OWN SCREAMS RESONATED WITHIN HIS MIND --- a specific moment in time forever ingrained into the deepest parts of his being. In the sorrow of death came proof of how strong their bond had been, one that existed beyond the scopes of their own realities and integrated itself into their very essence. Their ( l o v e ) had been his own sun, a sun that radiated the brightest of rays that Naruto wanted to protect with his life if he could and in that moment --- he couldn’t. He had been weak... What he had sworn to protect had slipped out of his hands and he was left with only a memory of a man he truly loved. Naruto was left to count the times his soul elated at the thought of him... how many times he found himself smiling every time they were around one another and left with the guilt that he couldn’t be there when he needed to be.
A distant recollection of thoughts would live in his heart forever as Axel slowly became a memory to hold onto afterwards but --- a turn of events would give them a second chance ( give him a chance to tell him he was sorry ). Without explanation or without knowing how, a love he thought had burned out with one’s life appeared again in the form of the very person he wanted to give his entire being to.
It was hard to explain but he could tell that even though the physical form of another was there, other parts were not. It probably didn’t make any sense to Axel as to why he hung around him so much but Naruto had made a promise that he wouldn’t let him go again. As he approached the male from behind, words would find themselves directed towards the other.
❝Yo --- didn’t think you’d be sitting here by yourself.❞
