DISCLAIMER- ummm obviously I don't own Kingdom hearts. Sorry folks not that rich… aha… and… umm… it might've had a little more… lets say 'moments' between certain characters if I did *coughcough*guysmex*coughcough*

Sora gave out a sigh as he took in the setting sun. He closed his eyes and breathed his last breath of day in Twilight Town. He began to remember his whole life, which he had spent there. Catching rides on the top of the bus with his twin brother Roxas, him and his older brother, Leon, having their annual Summer Dash around the town, from the Tower to the Usual Spot, with Sora always trailing a good minute behind. A final memory came through his mind of him and his two brothers eating Sea-Salt Ice Cream on top of this very Tower he was on right now.

Sora's thoughts were interrupted as he felt a light, reassuring hand lie on his back. Turning his head slightly with sad, heavy eyes he saw his twin. The sandy blonde hair turned up into spikes above his right, deep blue, depressed eye.

"Sora, we've gotta go…" Roxas mumbled, not daring to look at his brother's tortured expression.

Sora stood up, knowing this was going to happen at some point. "I know," he said in a low, barley comprehendible voice.

The twins walked hand in hand as the left the Tower for the last time, as they had the first time they came.

As the sun rose over the horizon, it peeked its way into Leon's old, rusty car, to glare Sora in the eyes. Covering his eyes with his hand, Sora, for the first time on the car trip, looked at his brothers in the front seats, who were bickering about the volume of the crappy radio, for the tenth time since they entered the car.

"I said turn it down!" Leon warned in his low, baritone voice. He reached his hand from on the steering wheel to grasp the knob on the stereo with a pinch of his fingers. He turned the dial from level 15 to level 5, earning a groan in protest from the music-based blondie in the front seat.

"I did turn it down!" the blonde whimpered, longing for his bumpy music to turn back up.

"Rox, the other cars can hear the lyrics through their own music!" Leon took his eyes from the road to stare at Roxas, who undoubtedly stuck his nose in the air.

"But I like my music loud!" Roxas moaned a pout and crossed his arms, averting his eyes to the ongoing street beside him. "Sora likes it too!" Roxas added on a side note.

Hearing his name, Sora jerked his head up.

"Sora's not really listening to the music" Leon commented, not even looking back.

Roxas turned his head to face Sora from behind the seat, and give him a meaningful glare, and the two had a conversation with it.

Please say something, Sora Roxas was pouting.

Sora gave a light smile with a small nod, meaning Sure.

This was something only Sora and Roxas could do. Having never been away from each other for more than 30 minutes for taking showers and for the nights sleep, because they had never shared a bedroom, they knew each other inside and out enough to be able to have non-worded conversations for hours straight.

"Actually, I was…" Sora lied, "and I can't hear it that low."

Leon sighed, knowing he was outnumbered like every other time in his life. Sora always took Roxas' side and Roxas took Sora's. Reaching his hand back to the knob, he gave it a slight turn, raising it up to 10.

Thank you Roxas smiled, uncrossing his arms to tap his thigh to the beat of the song.

No, thank you… Sora thought as soon as Roxas had turned his back. Thank you for everything…

As the three brothers trudged into their new, depressing condo, they all gave a sigh of regret as they looked into the living room and kitchen. It really was depressing. Although it was probably a great place to stay back in its heyday, being so spacious with three full master bedrooms, it was just too…too… well… gray.

Not only was everything in sight that pale, disgusting color, but the dust only added to the bland effect.

"Well then," Leon coughed into the awkward silence, "I call the biggest room."

After hours of argument and settlement, Sora got the smallest room, but with the sliding doors and balcony to look over the crystal blue ocean to a small, petite little island. As he was unpacking, he looked closer at the island. On it, he saw that it was occupied with a giant tree house, and a lush, running waterfall. He made a small oath that he would visit there someday in the near future with his brothers…

A small tapping welcomed Roxas into the room, who carelessly plopped himself onto Sora's newly made bed. Like the living room and kitchen, the bedrooms and their bathrooms were nothing but pale, lifeless gray. The only color in the room at all was the red bedspread, red clock and a couple of posters that found themselves up on the wall.

"I think we gotta paint." Roxas stated bluntly, fixing his hands under his head to lie down.

"I think we gotta go back home…" Sora said with heavy words. He folded up his black MSI hoodie and placed it into the colorless dresser.

"Sora," Roxas sat up, and they had another quite discussion.

You know why we can't go back Roxas dipped his head with sorrow in his eyes.

I know that, I just miss it a lot Sora turned his head away, not willing to continue the conversation.

Roxas didn't enjoy seeing Sora so unusually depressed. His wanted the happy bubbly twin he's always had, so that he himself could be the silent, 'emo' one. He liked it better that way, the way it should be. Also, with Sora so depressed, he in turn became depressed. Reading each other's thoughts was not the only thing effected by too much time spent together, but also they can tell each others sorrow, happiness and other emotions, along with also sharing pain- both emotionally and physically.

"I sure hope you would stop PMSing" Roxas laid back down on Sora's bed and closed his eyes, waiting for the eruption to start.

"I'm not PMSing!!" Sora screeched, turning around to face his twin, and throwing his pain of skinny jeans he was folding onto the ground in the process.

Roxas bellowed in laughter and lifted himself off the bed and out of the room. "Of course you're not."

Sora pouted as he watched the blonde dance out of the room. Remorsefully, he picked the pair of jeans up off of the floor and fumbled with folding them into a nice, neat little stack. When his shaking hands didn't allow it, he groaned with annoyance and settled on leaving them on the floor. He slunk into his new bed and under his new covers and stared at the new ceiling of his new apartment in his new town in his new life.

He drifted off to sleep in his new bed and under his new covers staring at the new ceiling of his new apartment in his new town in his new life with a tear rolling down his cheek.

Roxas closed the door to his brother's room, and slid along the counter in the new, dull kitchen to face his older brother Leon in the eyes.

"Whatcha making Le?" Roxas asked cautiously, eyeing the yellow goop in the bowl that Leon was stirring.

"Eggs" Leon sighed at his nickname. He wasn't one to have them. "Now get off the counter before you break it, fatty." He jokingly tapped Roxas' thigh, not looking away from the mixture he was concentrating on not spilling before he got to the frying pan.

Roxas gave a poor attempt at looking shocked, with the whole 'hand over the chest protectingly' gag. "You- you think I'm fat" he shrieked jokingly at the last word.

"Yea, so get your big fat ass over to the cabinet and grab us out some plates to eat this on." They both gave a slight laugh as Roxas stuck his nose in the air while making his way around Leon to the new dull cabinet, pretending to not be talking to his elder brother.

"Is Sora eating?" Leon cocked an eyebrow, knowing Roxas would have the answer to that.

"He's sleeping." Roxas placed the ceramic dishes next to the brunette cooking eggs.

"I thought I heard you talking to him just a few minutes ago…?" Leon asked dumping half of the eggs on one plate.

"We were, but then I left and Sora apparently wanted to sleep." Roxas shrugged. "Despite the fact he was out cold the whole trip down here."

Leon stoped pushing the last of the eggs onto his plate to stare at Roxas unbelievingly, who had found himself up onto the frail counter again.

"What?" Roxas questioned as soon as he noticed he was being watched.

Leon shook his head and went back to scooping the last of the eggs. "It's still so strange how you two can know what each other are saying, doing and thinking at all times."

"Not all times, and it's not that in depth as you think it is." Roxas lifted his plate from the table and poked a blob of scrambled egg with his fork before sticking it into his mouth.

"It's still freaky" Leon mumbled. "Not as freaky as how much that kid sleeps however…"

"Yeah, well… he's had a long week." Roxas fiddled his eggs with his fork, playing with it.

"Mm…" Leon hummed in agreement, now overcome by a sad, looming cloud.

"You think…" Roxas started, still playing with his food "we can ever see her again?"

"I don't think the court will allow it." Leon sighed, and began playing with his eggs as well.

"So… does this mean we can never, ever see her?" Roxas started pouting, in an all gloomy way.

"Like hell I know?! I don't understand why you want to see that bitch!" Leon snapped. Three seconds after he finished the line he regretted it. "Roxas, I'm sor-"

"Because I want to tell her how disgusting she makes me feel" Roxas didn't look up. He wasn't playing with his food anymore, but instead holding completely still as he tried not to snap like Leon had just did.

Leon stayed completely still, still stuck on the word 'sorry' where his younger brother had cut him off.

"She was our mother and she didn't deserve to be called it." Roxas looked up at Leon with giant blue, wet orbs. He was shaking deeply and breathing hard and fast.

"I know Ro-" Leon tried to fit in, in a more sorrowful tone, but was cut off by Roxas' jagged voice.

"No you don't," Roxas gasped for air right as his eyes overflowed. "I felt it Leon- what she did to Sora. I know exactly what happened that night. I have nightmares every night for him."

Leon stood up from his chair and hugged his little brother, cooing in his ear "It's ok."

They stayed there for what felt like days until Roxas calmed down, then shrugged off to go explore the new town.

The town was quiet and peaceful, despite the little kiddies all over the place, enjoying the childhood Roxas never had. He yearned for a childhood like that; one where you're parents said they loved you every night before tucking you into bed. One where they took you to carnivals and amusement parks, and yelled at you for eating too much cotton candy, or to the park, then carefully took you in their arms and calmed you down when you fell off of the monkey bars and started crying. He wanted a childhood where it was ok to cry without being called a baby and then slapped across the face, and to say I love you without a sarcastic comment about how he should 'come to bed with them' that night then. 'Maybe in the next life' Roxas had once told Sora. 'Maybe, we will get a loving mama, and a papa who didn't dink and get himself killed'

'Do you think we'll still be brothers in the next life?' Sora had asked, with big, curious eyes.

'I know so!' Roxas exclaimed, reaching his arms out to glomp his younger twin.

'Hey, blondie, are you even awake, or are you one of those freaks who sleep with their eyes open?' Sora said happily enjoying his brother's warmth.

Wait.

What?

"Blondie?" Roxas snapped out of his flashback to realize he was face to face with a pair of emerald eyes. A slight blush brushed across Roxas' cheeks as he quickly stood up from the lonely swing he was on, and scratched the back of his head sheepishly "S-sorry, just…daydreaming."

Roxas looked at the teenager, who seemed only a year or two older then he was. Roxas was awed by this man's beauty. His fiery red hair pulled down his shoulders in thick locks, the red bringing out his soft, pale skin and emerald eyes, and the long green upside down tear drops under each eye. Roxas had gotten a huge lump in his throat, and giant mutant butterflies thumping around in his stomach preventing him from speaking.

"A pretty depressing daydream" The teenager scoffed, looking away from the younger kid before him- who was blushing ever so slightly more than before.

"Uh… y-...y-"Roxas tried to say something, but was too awed to say anything at all before he was cut off by this rather loud beauty.

"So you got a name, blondie? Or do you prefer my nickname?" He asked cheerfully.

"R-… Roxas" He managed to spit out.

The redhead put his long finger on his chin thoughtfully. "Roxas… Roxas… Rockin'-Ass," He snapped his fingers. He bent his body over to get a better view before stating "I'd say!"

Before Roxas could comprehend what he just said, he felt a hand pull him back over to the swing. "Come on Rockin'-Ass," He sat down on the lonely swing, and pulled Roxas down to sit on his lap. "Tell Axel what's bothering you."

Roxas began to turn mortally pink sitting on this guy's lap.

"A-…Axel?" Roxas stumbled the name out of his mouth.

"Mhm! That's me, Axel, got it memorized?" Roxas felt Axel gesture his thumbs pointing to himself before placing them back onto the chains of the swing. "Well, are you going to tell me or not?"

"Uh… umm… it was nothing… really" Roxas looked away, not even noticing that he actually managed to say something.

"Aww, that's no fun." Axel pouted.

Roxas didn't know what urged him to spill out every detail about his mother to this beautiful stranger.

"Damn, blondie" Axel mournfully moaned, with still a cocky tone that never seemed to leave his voice. "I thought I had it rough."

"Oh?" Roxas turned around to face the green orbs for the first time since he got onto the swing. As soon as he did he felt his heart skip a beat and the butterflies on steroids come back.

"Yeah, nothing as bad as yours, but my parents beat me." Axel shrugged. "But not every night, only when they would drink."

"Lucky, mine drank every night." Roxas didn't say it sorrowfully, it was more like he was saying 'lucky, I got an 86 on that test' to Axel who got a 100.

"Mm, they would really beat me down when I would set things on fire." Axel giggled, as if it wasn't really that big of a deal.

"You would set things on fire?" Roxas laughed at the statement.

"Not so much would as still do," Axel emphasized. "Ya see, I'm a pyro, got it memorized?." Roxas laughed at this too, even though it should be more frightening than funny that he was sitting on a pyro's lap alone in an abandoned playground.

"That's an interesting feature" Roxas looked up into the setting sun, and enjoyed the silence that had thrusted upon them. The only sound was them breathing and the rocking back and forth of the swing that Axel was pushing with his long legs, never really leaving the ground.

"And that doesn't scare you?" Axel broke the silence.

"Why should it?" Roxas asked without turning around, taking his hands from in his lap to clasp onto the chains, right under Axel's hands. "I started to like you before I knew you were, why should that small trait effect how I think of you?"

"Mm…" Axel thought hard about this. No one else has ever acted this way when he said that he was a maniac who set things on fire way too much.

"Crap!" Roxas sat up, remembering he told Leon he'd be back for dinner. "Axel, I gotta go, sorry!"

Roxas looked over his shoulder, and gave a look that only Sora would know meant 'I want to stay, but I'm sorry I have to go, I enjoyed talking wit you.'

Axel gave a blank, curious look before snapping out of it and giving a smirk.

"Don't be," Axel stated, with a smirk wider than ever, and he reached his hand out to firmly grasp Roxas's ass, who arched his back up, and lifted off of him involuntarily.

"See ya later, Rockin'-Ass" Axel waved behind him without looking back.

Fighting to regain control of his voice, Roxas passed from pink to bright red in a matter of half a second. "Y-…you too…" he muttered robotically.

Ahaha, cute ending

Yea, sorry its so slow and 'X , X' in the beginning, but its hard to make that 'fun to read.'

Haha, updating soon, and yea, this is going to be a RikuXSora and an AxelXRoxas one.

I had and idea for Soriku and Akuroku so I decided to put them in the same story
