I'm pretty impressed :] I'm reading this not because I need convincing (I'm already a shipper) but because I was intrigued to see how you wrote it, and overall it's great! I think you did Axel very well, all his emotions and devotion to Roxas.
I was just wondering if, after 358/2 days come out whether you'd add in additional bits, if there are any :] There does seem to be more interaction scenes in there. And some might not consider it canon, but I thought the novels had really good bits in there too XD
I agree that Roxas doesn't seem to express the same amount of affection for Axel, though there is some evidence, even if not sufficient. One is the novels, which express Roxas's feelings a little more. Another is the battle with Sora immediately after Axel fades away. I always thought it a bit strange that Roxas chose that moment to fight Sora. It's possible that entering the city triggered it, though I don't really believe it. I read it as that Axel's death triggered Roxas's awakening. It's like he's trying to tell Sora to prove to him why he's so important that Roxas have to become a nobody, lose his Twilight Town gang, and lose his best friend on top of it. Asking Sora to prove his worth :]
Still, that is an evidence which might or might not be there, haha. Was just exploring it (:
