[Within moments, Axel's stretching his arms out to pull them both in, hold them there. Both of them are so small.
It feels strange, to be comforting right now. Axel didn't think he would ever be able to speak words that would have such an impact on anyone. Especially not like this. He wasn't really worth this.
So all of a sudden, he's seeing it as more of an apology on his behalf than anything- at least concerning Roxas. His best friend was really hurting, thanks to what he did- not that he'd take it back. Still, knowing that aches so much more than when Axel had been focused on his own pain alone.
Although, with Sora- he'd already said his apologies. But it felt right having him here; another person he needed to heal his ties with. And although he'd never say it- Axel did feel the need to comfort him. He wasn't sure what it was with this kid. So damn easy to get along with. To feel for. So different to Roxas, and so similar.]
Heh, nothing to apologise for. It was my choice in the end.
[He says it firmly, voice a little hoarse, and rests his chin on top of Roxas' head, hugging the two tight. Axel doesn't want Roxas to blame himself for this.
i am not even ashamed of tl;dr at this point

Even if he'd done it for him. For them.]
