Does He Really?

Axel grabs Roxas's hand, bows and then kneels on both legs without facing him the entire time.

Axel: Don't leave.
Roxas: Axel--
Axel: Don't speak, just let me say what I have to say.

Roxas stays silent.

Axel: No one in that world or in any world ... could accept you like I do. Roxas...I love you.

Roxas stands there, stunned and thinks, 'Does he really love me?'
