Okay people, to be honest, I am working on two other stories right now. I just felt like writing this one there will be yaoi, because it can't be good without it! Yayaya I don't own anything either. I always wonder why that is…..oh ya, I am broke.

NJOY!

Sora woke up to the sound of things being thrown around in the kitchen. He rolled over on his side and grunted when the light shown in his eyes. "I guess it is time to wake up anyways."

As he sauntered his way down the hall way, it began to dawn on him what was going on. "Oh shit." He groaned, speeding his walk up to a slow jog.

The Strife house was rather large. By that I mean it had around 4 floors, so the fact that Sora could hear what was going on in the Kitchen unnerved him some.

As he ran into the kitchen, he halted on his toes. There were boxes of food and pans everywhere. And standing in the middle of this was his brother, Roxas, and their dad, Cloud, standing over him with a heavy frying pan.

Sora walked over to the older man, although he was only of age 37. "Dad! STOP! Roxas has not done anything!"

Said man turned to look at the brunette boy and dropped the frying pan by his feet, walking out of the room. He turned his head to look at them both before smirking and walking out. Sora ran over to where Roxas was kneeling. "You really need to stop provoking him. You are only going to make things harder for him…Are you okay?"

The slightly larger blonde boy nodded his head and stood up from where he had been seated on the floor. "I didn't do anything Sora! You know how dad is since….you know."

Oh, that was right. He was surprised he was not used to it by now. Waking up every morning to see his brother getting the shit beat out of him. "How did you know anyways?" Roxas asked.

Sora stifled a laugh. Now was not the time to be joking around. "I would call it twin telepathy, but I would be lying. Did you think I could not hear you two upstairs?" He said sarcasm slightly evident.

Roxas frowned and look down at his feet. "Damn it. Why am I such an idiot? Why do I keep letting him do this? Why won't I tell anyone?" Roxas thought to himself. "Come on, Sora. Let's go." He said, walking to the foyer and out the front door.

Sora sighed. "Why does dad only hurt him? He never does anything about me?" He wondered before walking out behind his brother.

Roxas's POV

There were so many people in front of the High School. Of course, I was new to this school, so how was I supposed to know how many people went here?

Me and my brother tentatively walked up to the stairs and sat down. Soon, a girl with reddish brown hair and another with light blond hair walked up and sat down next to us.

"Hi I am Kairi, and this is Namine." The girl with red/brown hair said. "You are pretty cute. Are you twins?"

My brother gave face that showed that this actually happens a lot. "Umm…ya, we are twins. And no, we are not interested. We are gay." I was slightly taken aback by the fact that he had been so fast to just up and tell them something like that, but it was the truth, so why not, right?

But God, you should have seen the look on their faces. It was like 'yay! We have just the thing for you'. And in all honesty they did. "OMG!" said the girl with blond hair. "Come with us."

Each of them grabbed out arms. I flinched at the pain. Ya, I was going to bruise. Where they lead us was by the front gate, but rather secluded. But god let me tell you! There we TONS of people over there. Like everyone who was anyone was over there. There was one person in general, well, rather two.

One had a huge head of red hair; it kind of looked like fire. His eyes were of emerald green.

The other boy next to him had something that looked like a mix between a blonde Mullet and a Mohawk. He was playing some weird instrument that I had never seen before and the red head seemed to be basking in the glory of the girls that were pouring themselves on him.

"Axel, Demyx! We brought some new people." The girl that I now knew as Kairi giggle/yelled at them. The boy with the Mullhawk jumped up and ran over to us. Even when he reached us, he never stopped bouncing while the other guy casually made his way over, looking at his feet.

"Hii'mDemyx! Iplaysitarandamgay! What'syourname?" Oh god, this guy talked faster than Sora! I could tell my brother was going to like him.

"Hii'mSora! Idon'tplayanyinstruments, andi'mgaytoo!" Oh god! How can two people be so happy?

The blond girl, Namine, smiled at the red head. "Yoo-hoo, Mr. Grumpy face! Introduce yourself."

For the first time since coming over, the tall red head looked up. And when he did, he looked like he was going to have a heart attack. "H-hi, I'm A-axel. G-got it M-memorized? Wh-what happened to your f-face?"

I could tell this guy was nervous about something. He did not seem like the kind of person who would stutt- Wait, something is on my face? SHIT!

I could see the look of panic on Sora's face too. One of the places he hit me must be bruising. Luckily my brother is practically a genius.

"Oh ya, just some brotherly love…." He said and wrapped his arm around my shoulders. It was actually pretty funny. All the girls were like 'sighhhh!' I could not help but laugh. Really, what was the deal with girls?

The boy named Axel Shrugged. "If you say so. I just want to make sure no one is giving you any trouble." He said and turned away to go back to lounging on the table with all of the girls. Something about the way he said it was somewhat flirtatious. The one sentence that crossed my mind: what the hell?

"Just ignore Axel. He does not mean everything that he says. He is, like, totally bipolar. Come on, let's get to class. You don't want to be late." Kairi said, half giggling her statement. God, how much did this girl laugh?

GYM!

Sora would not stop talking about this guy when we were running in 4th period gym. "Riku is sooo nice don't you think? And he is also sooo cute! I mean, what other guy has white hair?"

I raised my eye brow. So Sora had his first crush? "Um, Sora? In case you have not noticed, we don't really have normal hair either. And Seph. had white hair." I frowned at the name. I was surprised that even after so long; it was still so hard for anyone in our family to talk about it.

As I said this, someone behind, I believe it was Xemnas, gasped. "Holy shit dude! What happened to you?" Oh god, not this again.

"I feel down the stairs?" This came out sounding like more of a question than an answer. Probably not the best way to respond to a comment like that…

"Um, but Axel said that that you have some 'brotherly love' going on between you two."

I bit my lip, trying to think up a quick answer. "Well, Axel is a liar then." I snapped at him. I really hated having to do this. Lying is not really Sora's thing. He hates when I have to lie to people. I know he wishes I would just tell someone about dad, but honestly, what could I really say

"Can we please just not talk about me and my brothers' home life and you can go back to minding your own business." Sora said before speeding up, me following close behind.

Axel POV

I was sitting at lunch, thinking about that morning. Roxas. That was his name. Roxas…he was beautiful, even with a bruise on his cheek. But honestly, I could tell that he was most likely a little turned off by the way that I had approached him earlier. I had been kind of confrontational. Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that he had been lying.

"I think Roxas is lying." I said, quite out of the blue and much without notice.

Larxene fake gasped and covered her mouth. "OMG! Axel is thinking!" I glared the best that I could at her, which is pretty well. I really hated that girl sometimes, never mind the fact that she was a bitch, but I felt like she was constantly flirting with me. I mean what?

"What I mean is, what if Roxas did that to himself….?" I know people were probably kind of surprised at how caring I was being, rather than my normal ruthless and cold self.

"No Axel, I don't." Riku said. "But I don't think that Sora did it either! He is waaaay too nice." The white haired male added on at the end.

Demyx, AKA my brother, raised an eye brow. "Does this mean that Riku has his first crus-WAIT a second? Why do YOU care so much about this Roxas kid anyways? HMMM!" Demyx said enthusiastically, yet somewhat suspicious. Okay, so maybe I was going a bit overboard, but I don't know how to explain it. I looked at my brother and and gave him my patented eyebrow raise. I really need to reevaluate my friends.

"I don't really have an answer for you bro. But I was thinking, maybe we could invite the twins to the Friday night sleepover tonight." Everyone around me nodded, especially Riku, who nodded pretty quickly. I breathed in a deep breath and nodded in agreement.

"Then it's settled." I got up from the ground to go to my next class.

Science

The teacher called up Roxas and Sora to the front of the class to introduce themselves while I listened intently. "Okay you two. Tell us everything we need to know about you."

Sora was first to jump in. God, I don't know HOW Riku could like that kid. Roxas pulled his brother back and whispered something in his ear. He began to talk, and I listened.

"Hey, I am Roxas Strife and this is my extremely ADHD brother, Sora." Said boy waved and everyone else laughed at the flat joke. "Our dad works for a company as a SOLDIER, that is an acronym for Shinra operative loyal drastically intelligent, eradication rescuers. The company he works for is called Shinra and is like the FBI, just a whole lot more dangerous and extreme. We came here from our boarding school in Utah called Diamond Ranch Academy. Yes we get a lot of snow over there, and no we will not tell you more about the school. We don't care what kind of crap you give us, especially me, so don't even bother."

He grabbed Sora's arm and dragged him back to their seats that were just behind mine. Demyx and I turned around. "Hey." I said. "We were wondering if you wanted to come to our sleepover/party thing tonight. There will probably be about 15 people there, about all the people we were sitting with outside. Actually, you know what? How about you guys just come home with us." I said. God, I was babbling! This had not happened in quite a while…

The twins stared at us dumbfounded for a minute. Roxas opened his perfectly shaped ruby colored lips. "Are you two brothers or a couple?"

I looked at him and gave him a very entertained look while Demyx screamed and pretended to faint. He got back up. "Ya-we-are-twins. Can't-you-see-the-resemblance?" Ha said quickly before he gave his biggest grin and leaned forward on their desk some. I gave my best glare and leaned forward right next to him.

"No, no I can't. But ya, we can come with you." Roxas said before taking out an iPod.

"Hey can I listen?" I asked him. He looked at me, a bit surprised by the request but handed me the iPod none the less. I pushed the small headphone into my ear and waited for the music to start.

I never took you for a trick, but
Sometimes, I don't know what you want
I can take it if you need to,
Take this out on someone

That little bitch with her head held so high
Talking shit, and I
hurt myself so I could feel something I
Know is not a lie

That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here

This is where I scream from

Yeah, you can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say you only think you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah

Hurts the same when nobody knows
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all

I was taking on a dollar sign, anxious,
Scared of what you need
Everybody wants a piece of you,
Everyone takes a piece of me

That one stings a little,
I'm always in the middle
I don't expect, but try me,
And you will always find me here

This is where I scream from

Yeah, You can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say you only think you know, yeah
oh, Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself without you now, yeah

Hurts the same when nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes,
And I, I won't say anything at all

(I-I-I-Iiii)
This is the hook, take it like I took
I'm shaking like I shook before
Never ever getting better off
And I can only watch
This is where I stopped before,
Not another piece of me,
I always slip away from
I always slip away from

I won't say anything, but

Yeah, you can take it all away and I'll miss
There's a little bit of you in all this
You can say you only think you know, yeah
Please, there's a better bit of me to see yet,
'Cause you haven't see any of my best
Know I hate myself

Hurts the same when nobody knows,
Guess that's just how it goes
And I, I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all
I won't say anything at all

I listened to the song. I had never heard it before, but it sounded familiar enough. I watched Roxas as the music got further and further into the lyrics. I seemed like he was losing himself in the words rather than the sound alone. I made him seem a little calmer that I thought he was.

The song stopped and the bell rang. I got up and helped Demyx out of his seat. "Our dad picks us up, so we should go out and wait." I said, grabbing Roxas by the wrists.

When we got outside, there was a bright red hummer waiting. That is my dad for you. Always wants to make a statement when he arrives somewhere.

"Hey Vincent!" Sora screamed waving at my dad as he ran past me. I raised my eyebrow for the millionth time today. Like I said, it is a patented thing.

"Well, look at that. Is it not the Strife twins? Haven't seen you guys in forever. Not since Seph died anyways. How is your father doing? Any better?" My dad said. Suddenly I came to a realization. That was right. Our dads worked together.

Well this explained some things that I was curious about.

"He is fine sir. Still a little down, but who wouldn't after such a blow." Roxas said, rubbing his arm. "Three YEARS ago." He whispered almost inaudible, yet I managed to hear it, as well as picking up the rubbing of the arm.

My Dad pulled up to the house and we got out of the car in quite a hurry. I ran up to the room that my brother and I shared. I was fairly large with two king sized beds. Each of us have a dresser and there is a couch and TV on one side, a desk on the other, though the desk is hardly ever used.

I removed my gloves from my hands and put them on my night stand and reached over to turn some music on. There were enough windows in our room that we did not need to turn the lights on yet.

The song that came on was one of my favorites, Numb, by Linkin Park. I nodded my head to the music and sat down on the sofa. I remembered something I had to ask my dad. "Hey, Demyx, I'll be right back. I need to talk to dad."

My brother nodded and went back to chatting with Sora, though I was not sure where Roxas went.

I ran down the stairs and into Dad's office, practically sliding on the banisters as I went. I panted as I entered the room and sat down in a chair. "What do you know about Cloud Strife?" I asked abruptly.

My father bit his lip harshly. "Why do you ask these questions…let's see….Cloud used to be a bubbly, Generous, and happy person, not to say that he isn't now. But, three years ago, His lover, Sepheroth, died. He was absolutely devastated. The twins did not take their father's death quite so badly. But. Cloud. He changed. He became a lot less caring and loving, especially towards his own family. This is about when things took a turn for the worst with Roxas I suppose…"

"Um, ya. And one more question. What is Diamond ranch academy?"

My dad turned to the computer and pulled up the schools home page. "It says 'Diamond Ranch Academy is a premiere youth residential treatment facility for teens struggling with ADD. ADHD, Substance abuse, and other issues. Why did you want to know anyways?"

I was stunned. A treatment facility? "Tha-That is the school that Roxas and Sora were going to. I mean, Sora was obviously there for some ADHD problems, but ROXAS!'

"Well, does he ever do anything that seems strange to you?" My dad asked me.

I thought for a moment. "You know, now that I think about it, he never looks anyone in the eyes." This gets really annoying to me. I hate it when people don't look at me… I hope that does not sound conceited.

My dad's eyes turned to slits and he stood up. "This conversation is over. I have to get to work."

Well, what do you think!

Rates and reviews are ALWAYS welcome! But flames will be flamed! The ending will probably not make much sense to people but I hope you can pick it up.
