[if anything right now, roxas feels like so much of this is just going over his head. a boy that likes her?
sure, he gets the basic meaning of it; the shoujo manga did teach him a little bit, as did some of the movies and tv shows he casually watches sometimes. but it's one of those things he isn't sure he can connect with—the explanations are always so grand and so vague that roxas doesn't have any comparable idea of what it means. what that feels like...
for all the feelings roxas has experienced, and truly believes he's felt, he's not sure he can place romantic feelings or love as part of them. he likes his friends, of course he does. all of his friends are precious and dear to him... but he doesn't think any of them give him the feelings that everyone describes as being love. something powerful, something life changing? something that makes people's cheeks and ears turn red... and that "doki doki" thing with their chests.]
I... don't know either. There probably isn't an easy answer, either... [he sighs quietly. he wishes he could help, or give xion a better answer.
it's like he's letting her down by giving a non-answer like that, but he's trying to be honest about it.]
I think... it might hurt that boy a lot if he felt that way and you couldn't do the same, though. [even in manga, when the feelings weren't mutual, someone got hurt. and all of those people had hearts.]
It feels unfair. [to both the other person, who would get hurt... and to them, who can't necessarily understand the situation.]
Axel would probably have the answer, but I don't know if that's good, either. He seemed so sure when I asked... when he said you needed a heart to do that. I'm not sure Axel understood what love really was either. [though... it's axel, so maybe he'd lied about that. maybe he loved someone when he was human? it's a mystery.] Having a heart... it would be a lot easier to figure this out if we had them.
