Summary: KeyToDestiny and DancingFlames are widely known over the internet. No one knows who they are, though. It is only known that one of them has two 'keys' tattooed and the other has piercing green eyes...
Ignoring the growing admiration to those two amazing models, Roxas is recovering from a suicide attempt and has moved back with his family to his old hometown, Destiny Islands, to start anew. In that same hometown a new life, old friends and wonderful challenges await for him. Will Roxas and his new friends manage to pursue that dream that they chase?
Roxas sighed as he got onto the train. The furniture was all loaded in the car; they had checked that they weren't leaving anything behind. That was it. They were leaving… finally. After an eight year long nightmare in Twilight Town, they were going back to Destiny Islands.
The blonde stared at his bandaged arms in silence. He had not been of much use due to his injuries, but he had tried. Even when he was unable to move his arms, he tried to help… and got told off many times by his twin and his older brother.
"Daydreaming again, Roku?"
Roxas looked up and nodded lightly to his twin brother. Sora and him were almost identical, except for the hair colour (Sora's was more chesnut brown and Roxas' was more caramel) and their personalities (though they were almost identical in that aspect, too). Sora was… Sora. Like a friend of the twins had said, he was way too gay to be straight though a little bit straight to be gay, so he stuck in between. Sora loved neon colours and oshare kei clothes. Roxas went more with skinny jeans, oxford, vans and skateboards. Aside from this, both twins played the guitar, both twins sang (and damn good), both twins got hyper when they were given a small amount of sugar and both twins had an insane amount of piercings and two tattoos on their lithe bodies.
"What were you thinking about?"
"Aku… I wonder if he is out of the hospital by now…"
"Aku got surgery?" Sora blinked, slightly surprised that he didn't know about this.
"Yeah… his sister sent me an email telling me about it. Appendicitis it seems…"
Sora nodded, still processing the information. Roxas snorted at this. Another difference; Sora was slower at processing information than him.
Aku was a friend Roxas had made over the internet, in the Kingdom heArts forum. That had been five years ago. Aku was Roku's best friend, and the feeling was mutual. Soon after meeting and adding each other as friends in their KH account, they had exchanged emails and telephone numbers, and had built a surprisingly strong friendship that way.
Cloud, their older brother, was already seated down, holding his boyfriend's hand and talking quietly about something. Cloud was 25, ten years older than the twins. Vincent was running on 27. Vincent worked as a music teacher in the Destiny High School back in the Destiny Islands, but had taken a week off work to help them with the moving. Cloud and Vincent had been going out for eight years now, and not even distance had been able to break them apart.
"So, everyone ready to go back home?" Vincent asked as train started to move.
"Yes!" Sora cheered, while Roxas and Cloud simply nodded, their faces stoic. Sora pouted. "And robot#1 and #2 are ready too… Seriously guys, a bit of emotion! We are heading back home!"
"Sora you put way to much emotion into everything…" the two blondes stated, making Vincent smirk. "That is good… you need someone to smile for you guys."
Cloud shook his head and gave his boyfriend a rare smile. "Only for you, Vincent…" He turned to his brothers who were sprawled in their seats… Well, Roxas was looking for his mp3 player and Sora… was trying to catch a fly that was flying around him. "We should arrive to the Destiny islands around night time so… get comfortable"
Roxas turned on his mp3 player and played a random track. He sighed as he watched the landscape move and change through the window. Oh, how he wished that Aku lived in the Destiny Islands… That way they could finally meet and have a less ephemeral friendship.
Little he knew how close that wish of his was to coming true.
Meanwhile, in the Destiny Hospital…
Axel groaned as the light coming through the window blinded him. He had never been a morning person and-
"AXEL! YOU'RE AWAKE!"
Axel sighed. He had never been a morning person and a hyper Demyx as breakfast didn't make his mood any better…
"Yo, Demyx…"the red haired groaned as he sat up in his hospital bed. "Pass me my cell will ya?"
Demyx blinked and pouted. "Good morning to you too, Akuku…" he said in a fake happy tone as he passed the cell to Axel, who started texting. This action sparked Demyx' curiosity.
"Axel who are you texting?"
"Roku… I sort of vanished before I could tell him I was having surgery and I bet he is worried sick about me…"
"Roku is that boy you met in KH, right?"
"Yeah… he said he was moving back to his hometown soon…" Axel smiled as he pressed the 'send' button. "I wish he was moving to Destiny Islands though…"
Demyx laughed and have Axel a one armed hug. "Well, sometimes wishes do come true, man!"
Axel nodded, but kept silent. Demyx shrugged.
"Anyways, I came here for a reason. This morning Naminé and I were helping out our old man Cid in the hangar… fixing a plane… Well, more like Cid was fixing the plane, Naminé was talking to Larxene who was sleeping on the plane and I was chilling out…" The Mohawk boy took a deep breath. "Well, we were going on about our businesses when the phone rang. I went to get it and it was Vincent…"
"Wasn't Vincent visiting his boyfriend in Twilight Town?" Axel asked, curiosity sparking. That was where Roku said he was living currently.
"Yaaah I think he was…" Demyx drawled. "Well, he said that they had already finished packing and that he and the Strife siblings were coming back in three days!"
Axel laughed. "Are you more excited about Vincent returning or for knowing that you're having new neighbours?"
"New neighbours!" Demyx squealed. "I mean, Sora and Roxas are my age! We can hang out, be friends and they won't be prejudiced by the stupid high school hierarchy so I won't be alone during class anymore!"
Axel's face went sombre. "Demyx… you know what happened to Roxas, right? In that old school of his…"
Demyx stopped bouncing around the room and sat on the end of Axel's bed. He sighed and looked at his friend. "Yes… I overheard Cid speaking with Cloud on the phone about it." A bitter laugh escaped his lips "It seems the three of us suffer bullying somehow…"
Axel winced. "Three of us? Demyx, don't include me in the group you know I-"
"You're alone because you bloody want to… Yes, Aku you've told me loads of times! But you are still shunned away, insulted and sometimes even lynched."
"Now that one's new…"
"Axel I was being serious here!"
"Yeah right, Demyx. And I'm a ghost"
"Well you're heading the good way there, seeing how extremely skinny you are" A new voice added as a red haired girl entered the room, followed by her blonde friend who was carrying a sketch book on her hands.
"Oh Kairi, I love you too" Axel said sarcastically. "Hey there, Nami"
"Hi Axel…" the blonde girl nodded as she walked to Demyx. "Demy, Dad wants you home soon. Cloud, Sora and Roxas are going to arrive tonight."
"Tonight? But I thought it was in three days!" Demyx exclaimed at his sister's notice.
"Their belongings do in three days… They are scheduled for tonight…"
"Geez and I haven't cleaned my room!" Demyx jumped and grabbed his sister by the wrist. "It was fun seeing you Axel but we have things to do!"
"We? Demyx I already tidied up mine!" Naminé squealed as she was dragged away by her brother.
"Yes and you're helping me!"
Axel sweat dropped as he heard their argument fade down the hospital halls. He turned to Kairi who was blinking at the door. "Tonight?"
"The Strife siblings are moving back home" Axel stated. Kairi simply nodded, though excitement was visible in her eyes. "Sora?"
"Sora, Roxas and Cloud. The three of them."
"Forever?" the girl blinked her huge blue eyes at her older brother
"Forever and ever until death tears them apart from you, Kai"
Kairi squealed and got out her cell, probably to call Selphie and tell her that Sora was coming back.
Axel sighed and looked at his cell. Kairi was getting her best friend back, Demyx was probably going to become best friends with Roxas and Sora too but… his best friend wasn't coming.
