A/N: Okay, so, this is my first story… ever, really. ; ~; Please don't be mean to me. This prelude has been done for such a long time, but with work and everything, I never had time to put it up. So now I am! : 3 I'm just trying to see what everything thinks and if I should continue or not (even though I've already started with the next few chapters). So…. Review~ :3

Warning: Rated M! There is male on male action in this story, so if you don't like, then turn right on around and go read something else. Axel and Roxas love to curse, so forgive them and prepare your ears (rather, eyes) for bad words galore.

Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy belongs to their rightful owners. I don't own anyone in this story what so ever; nor am I getting paid to write it.

Summary: AU Roxas was changed forcefully, unwanted and painfully. From that moment on, he hated his life. Axel was his 'enemy' until one fateful night when a certain smell pulled Roxas to the redhead's room, causing everything to change. For both of them, their lives were just getting started.

Prelude: Happily Ever After; With Major Obstacles

Ever wonder the troubles that lovers go through to get where they are in life? Well, this is just a little story of three pairings who all have different ways of gaining what they want. Love isn't always the best thing in the world.

Sora x Riku ::

Childhood friends turned lovers. A loving family that one thought would never happen. An aced test in life.

Cloud x Leon ::

One-night stand turned love. Love brings marriage and a few children. Troubled times bring about a stronger relationship.

Axel x Roxas ::

Two hidden secrets. Confessions and lies. Heartbreak and disaster. Loss and gain. Love and hate. Something you never thought would happen turns out to be the best thing in their lives; even if It's never spoken aloud.

'Y'know… love is like one of those teacup rides at the carnival. But the only person I want in that ride with me is you; sitting across from me and making my world spin.'

Everyone thinks love is just a fairy tale, but let me tell you something; love is real. You just have to know where to look for it. You also have to know the right way of fighting for it. I learned the hard way when I fell for the younger brother of my best friend. It was completely accidental, but the blond was just…the one. And I knew it. In the beginning, nothing was easy, there were secrets that were kept, pasts that needn't be explained and a confession of a lifetime. Both of us had lost our parents, one more innocently than the other, but it was a similarity that I couldn't look over; something that drew me to him more. And eventually, Roxas fell in love with me too. This is our story.
