I really liked this. It gave me a new perspective on nobodyd and their reason.

Aw, Roxas really is cute when he stuttered. I really liked this one because I think you got there personalities down wonderfuly.

This has an EXCELLENT balance of angst. You should pat yourself on the back for his, it's wonderful, seriously. You should give yourself more credit for this.

The making out with Axel and Roxas was beautiful. The fact that Axel had to touch him to make him feel warmer. Then of course he burned him (AXEL! COULD YOU BURN ME TOO?!) which was kind of cute because Roxas was getting a little frisky.

I liked Roxas's little epiphany at the end, by the way. It was very fitting!

(Okay, first off, how did I live this long without having you on my author alert list? *smacks self* Um. Could you possibly poke me the next time you post something? Sometimes e-mails from this site go straight to my spam filter and I hardly check that because it's frightening.)

God, you write non-AU like you write all your other stories. In other words: mind-blowingly awesome.

"But Roxas didn’t really have to worry about being quick enough; Axel always told him his speed was impressive." - I love how Axel is mentioned early on. I love how you get a gist of their relationship from that sentence alone. I love you write, period.

lmao. Of course it was the Mulan world! I can't believe my first guess was x-mas town. Um. (We must never speak of this again.)

Heh. Would I be a horrible person if I thought Roxas's stutter was adorable? Yes? All right then.

"He saw Axel glance away quickly, whether trying to be pointlessly polite or because he really did feel awkward in this situation, Roxas wasn’t sure." That line was particularly sweet, although I can't place my finger on why since there were a hundred that made me smile. Hmm. That one just stood out to me.

"The first one had come from curiosity on the clock tower shortly after a mission where they had watched a Prince marry a Princess in Agrabah." Wow. What an original and perfect way for them to discover kissing.

"They bled, even though they had no heart to pump the fluid." I know. Seriously. It's like, what? I don't read that many vampire fics for precisely this reason. And I think I'll stop rambling now.

The ending. Mm...I can't think of anything intelligent to say about it. It was perfect. Roxas's realization at the end especially.

-applauds-

Holy crap. To start off, I LOVE THIS. ...and you for writing it. Heheh.

Second, I like how you went along with something Non-AU for another thing. I mean, I like AU a lot too, but its nice to see something that kinda goes along with the Kingdom Hearts storyline once in awhile :3 So BRAVA. xD

I also like the philosophy of obtaining a heart at the end there with Roxas. It kinda does seem like the kind of thing he would think about. Plus, its given me a slight now outlook on that. x3

LOL, also adding here that the kissing was EPIC xD At least to me anyway. -chuckle- Also the snippet of backstory behind it made me just grin. Heck, I was excited throughout reading the whole thing xD

Just wonderful. Can't wait until yourother writings are finished up. In the meanwhile this is definitely going in my favorites :3

'luffles ya~!

-Bread-chan

That was awesome, I loved it to peices. Aww man, I gotta go re-find the lake in the Land of Dragons now. Great work. :D

This was really nice, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Good job. =]

I was just checking my inbox and I saw this, I got so excited, it's nice to see new things from you, I missed reading your stuff even if this isn't exactly as other stories of yours, but I think it was really well written -pff as usual-, lol I just realized I kinda always sound like hmm.. yeah idk... but anyway this is really sweet and cute, and I liked the fact that this story is kinda deep too .. I don't really know what to say... oh, is this a one shot, right? well I hope to see new stories from you soon. ^-^

Woo, NICE! Oh man, so many touches I loved...Roxas getting burnt by Axel's hand (cuz he lost control CUZ ROXAS HAS THAT EFFECT ON HIM!), Axel watching Roxas breathing (and the whole breathing thing), preparing for life, PREPARING FOR LOVE (OMG AWW!), AXEL BEING TURNED ON BY ROXAS STUTTERING, the kissing (THE KISSING.), the way he's ROXAS to Axel, not any other name, AND Roxas' plans for NEXT TIME (YES YES WHIMPER AND STUTTER AND GO MUCH FARTHER!)! XD XD XD So many things that I LOVED!

BUt man, I was just drooling when they were kissing and touching and Axel was dialing up his heat there for Roxas (OMNOMNOM YUMMY) and then Roxas' tiny bit of attention to his neck makes him lose control...OH I LOVE THAT TOUCH THE MOST, METHINKS. XD

And I also love the philosophizing, about WHEN THEY DO GET HEARTS and what they are doing...I don't think anyone has explored the whole Nobody existence while keeping things that hopeful and encouraging! I LOVE it! :hug of love:

Oh and you're not going back to your same college anymore? Are you going to a different one right away? Or taking a break? Was it really, really bad? D: (You were in a science program, right? Or am I confusing you with someone else?) Anyway, hope it works out for ya hon, and I'm glad you got out of there, and I hope you have AN AMAZING HOLIDAY AT HOME! :hug hug:

LOVE!

Oh jesus, I love you.
I'm so glad you decided to finish this. So glad.

My favorite part was that last bit, about the only one who cared enough would see it .. My heart fluttered at that. It's so well-written, and emotional .. I just love it all, honestly.

See? You can write serious stuff .. this proves it, and I really do wish you had more confidence in yourself in that respect. You're a fantastic writer, and I see it in everything you do. Things like this, our RPs, everything.

Reading things like this makes me glad I have a heart, so that I can fully appreciate it. You're amazing, you really are.

I really liked your story. It was just so thoughtful and deep that it really made me think and it seemed kinda calming too. And you had them just intimate enough to give more meaning to Roxas' thoughts without it taking over and becoming too much. Love to you for the story. Merry Christmas. Bye.

Hey, it's me! Man, I don't usually like to read non-AU's for these guys, but this one was awesome. The tone of it all really flowed, and I really like how you tied the title into everything. It's really hard to do things like that sometimes. Thanks for writing this, and I can't wait to read more!

:D

OMG!
Is this a one shot?

It's beautitful! I'm literally stunned.
I mean normally all the org fics get a bit repetitive, but this is very refreshing (lol like falling in ice cold water then getting sexily heated up again >3)
Love the portrayal of the whole questionable emotions scenario too!

And the heartless refrences, I can defo see you did your reserach, LOL.

Fantastic work Michele! But of course I love all your fics.
I hope there is more to come :]

I loved it!^^ I have wanted to read one of those blizzard+ only one blanket-stories,but Axel actually is living thermo blanket.^^ Good for Roxas! x)

I enjoyed this a lot. I *really* like the end section, where Roxas is pondering over the nature of being a Nobody and what that means for his relationship with Axel. For me, that's one of the things that makes them such a fantastically appealing pair, that little barb of doubt and uncertainty that sinks in along with all the other stuff, and here the way you handle it is great. So, yes, you can write serious shit :) Fears unfounded.

I also thought that the way you used the breath/breathing imagery as a recurrent metaphor throughout was really effective, and made the title work especially well.

I only spotted two little slips:

as much [as] a Nobody could like
the redhead watching him breath[e]

I'm glad you found the time and inspiration to write again, and hope things carry on getting better so you can continue.

Good job.
