It was a cool summer evening and Prince Roxas was just sitting in the garden that his gardener, Marluxia, had designed so very beautifully just for him. Marluxia was the best in the business.

"I wonder what I was like back then," Roxas mumbled to himself. See Roxas wasn't like any other Prince he knew. Roxas was born as a servant to a neighboring Kingdom, Twilight. The Kingdom he was raised in was Oblivion. He always thought it was such a strange name, but he didn't mind. In fact he really payed no attention to much of anything since it was his elder brother who was going to inherit the Kingdom. Everything was left to Sora, who had just recently told his parents that he was gay.

Sora was going to be married in six months to Princess Kairi of Destiny, three Kingdoms over. This marriage was to have an alliance, but since his brother had told everyone that he was a gay, and had already had a boyfriend their parents had completely changed everything. Instead the youngest Ventus was to Marry Aqua, Kairi's younger sister. On the other hand Sora was left to his boyfriend, Prince Riku. He was to rule The Kingdom that Never Was in four years when he became of age.

Who was left for Roxas, no one. Sure he could marry Kairi, but he had no interest in her. Then there was Namine and Xion. Twins, but fraternal. Both showed interest in him. He thought they were kind of pretty, but he still didn't want to marry them. In fact their older brother Terra would kill Roxas if he dared bring up the fact of marriage to either of them. So Roxas was left alone.

"Hmph." Roxas slouched back in his chair when he realized it was already dark. Heading inside he over heard Sora and Ventus talking.

"Did you hear?" Ventus asked

"About what, that the Prince from Twilight disapeared? Yeah scary right? I heard he was either kidnapped and being held for ransom, or he ran away!" Sora exclaimed. Thinking nothing of this Roxas went up stairs to find his mother, Aerith crying.

"What's wrong mother?" Roxas asked concerned for the woman who took him in despite her husbands wishes.

"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just still upset and shocked about your brother Sora. That's all sweetie, no need to worry," Aerith said eyes all puffy.

"Alright, well I'm going to go to bed. Good night Mother.," Roxas said walking towards his room. But before he could fully shut the door he heard his father call.

"ROXAS!"

"Yes, Father? What is it?"

"There, you are. I thought you were in the garden."

"I was just going to get ready for bed," Roxas said with the door half closed.

"Well, tomorrow you are to go into town with your brothers and search for a man by the name of Xaldin. He is a possibility for your brothers wedding chef. It may take a while, but find him," Cloud said sternly.

"Why can't we send Xigbar, or Saix to do it? They are our servants after all."

"Because it is rumored that he'll only cook for you if you ask him yourself, or if a close relative asks him. Since you are their brother, you must help as well," and without another word Cloud walked away.

Sighing Roxas slid out of his clothes down to his boxers and looked in the mirror. Seeing nothing he liked he walked away and plopped down on his bed. He didn't like the way his hair stood up in tangled blond locks. Strangely enough he looked exactly like Ventus who was born a year after he came to the castle when he was three. He thought it looked good on Ven. But not on him. Even without the fact that they were Princes, Roxas and his brothers were almost completely loved by almost every girl in the Kingdom.

Finally laying down to fall asleep he heard Sora and Ventus knock at his door. Opening the door, Rxoas let them in.

"What are you guys doing here?" Roxas wasn't at all shy around his brothers. In fact they had seen him fully naked when they accidentally walked in while he was changing. So seeing him in his boxers was no big deal.

"We wanted to ask you if you knew anything about the Prince who disappeared. The one from Twilight," Sora asked. Standing there waiting for an answer, Sora and Ventus stared at Roxas.

"Hmmm, no I don't think I have," Roxas replied acting like he actually had given the question some thought. In fact he really didn't care. He just wanted to sleep by this point.

"Alright then, well. I guess we'll leave you alone to sleep," Ventus said following Sora out of Roxas' room. Shutting the door behind them Roxas locked it and walked straight back to his bed. Finally letting his eyes shut, Roxas fell into a deep sleep.

"Huh, what happened? Where am I?" Roxas got up and realized he was in town. He didn't remember how he got there considering it was almost sun down. Sitting up, Roxas looked around and saw Sora, with a sliverette. Roxas went under the assumption that it was Riku. Getting up to follow Sora around the corner, he was bumped back down. Looking up he saw Ventus, with some black haired boy, that looked a little like Sora. Completely ignoring him Ven walked off towards where Sora and the silver haired boy went.

Getting up again, he crossed through heavy traffic to follow his brothers. Rounding the corner he was met not by his brothers, but a dead end.

"Huh? But, how? They were right here," Roxas exclaimed.

"Looking for someone?"

Roxas turned around to be met by a tall, skinny, red head. Staring into his piercing green eyes that seemed to sparkle with ego, Roxas noticed that he had this kind of smirk on his face.

"Wha-!" Roxas fell out of bed and onto the floor with a loud thud. Looking around him he noticed that he was back in his own bedroom. Getting up he went and checked the window. Looking out he saw Xigbar continuing Sora's archery lesson, and Saix with Ven fencing. In the far back he noticed his mother and Marluxia discussing the dying roses.

Turning around he went and looked in the mirror. Nothing had changed, not even his hair. So without even trying to tame his blond locks he threw on some clothes, brushed his teeth and headed downstairs. While on his way he noticed that he had forgotten his jacket. Once he forgot it and Cloud didn't let him hear the end of it for weeks on end! He wasn't bound to make that mistake again. Not if he wanted to hear his father lecture him on how a Prince should dress.

After running back up to get his jacket, and then again proceeding to head back downstairs. Heading towards the garden door he was interrupted by someone calling his name. Turning around he was met by the black haired boy that was with Ven, the one from his dream.

"Yeah, you must be Roxas right? You don't remind me of Ven at all," The black haired boy said. "Well maybe exception of the looks. Oh yeah, I'm Vanitas by the way. I don't think we've met, and I bet Ven doesn't even bother bringing me up. I'm Kairi's , and Aqua's younger brother. Not many people know about me."

"Vanitas huh? You know, you look kind of familiar. Anyway, are you here to wish Ven good luck?" Roxas asked. Roxas still wasn't completely sure why Vanitas used Ven's nickname. Ven only allowed those really close to him to call him that. 'Maybe it's just because he's marrying Aqua,' Roxas thought.

"So, where is he? Oh, and your parents. We have something we need to tell them," Vanitas said looking around him. "Oh! There he is! I'll go get him." And without another word Vanitas left Roxas standing there.

'Oh no! Strange boy+Ven+News=GAY!' Roxas couldn't stop thinking 'Gay'. It was the same exact thing that happened with Sora! The only thing that was different was the names! Roxas was so shocked he just stood there as his mother nearly fainted into Cloud. Cloud couldn'y hide his shock either. 'At least I won't have to marry Kairi or Aqua,' was Roxas' only thoughts. Turning around he found the nearest chair and sat down. He could of sworn his legs would have given u on him if he stood any longer.

"Am I gay?" Roxas mumbled. He wasn't even sure of his own sexuality anymore due to his brothers. Sitting there he decided to order his legs to help him stand and walked out to the garden where Sora was congratulating Ven, while Xigbar, Marluxia, Saix, and Cloud were trying to get Aerith to wake up.

"Well, are we going into town or what?" Roxas mentally slapped himself. His brother just announced that he was gay and that was the only thing he could come up with. Reciving a nod from both his brothers and Vanitas they got into Vanitas' carriage and rode off.

The whole way Ven and Vanitas were holding hands and talking like Roxas and Sora weren't even there. Sora was starring blankly out the window, which Roxas took as him thinking of Riku. Which really he was. That left Roxas sitting there trying to figure out what to do. Both his brothers had boyfriends and he wasn't even sure if he liked men or women!

"Roxas!" Sora interrupted his thoughts. "We're here. Lets split up so that way we can find the Xaldin guy faster, alright?" And without another word Sora got out, and ran into Riku. They talked for a minute and left. Ven and Vanitas went another direction, which left Roxas on his own. 'Lucky me!' He thought walking off in the direction of the church.
