Roxas and Ventus are twins. They look and sound exactly the same but their actions and personalities are completely different. This is their story where they swap places and pretend to be one another. There is only one rule though. Don't fall in love.
"Roxas...?" Ventus whispered as he knocked on his twin's bedroom door. He waited for a bit and when he heard 3 taps upon some metal he opened the door. Ventus walked in and sat on the bed.
"What is it Ven?" Roxas asked as he sat up and looked at his brother.
"I had a nightmare... Can I sleep with you?" Roxas looked at him.
"Really? You're 15 years old Ven." Ventus pouted and faked a tear that was only visible because the moonlight happened to pass over his face at that time. Roxas smiled.
"I was just teasing. Of course you can sleep with me. Come on climb in."
"Thank you Rox..." Roxas lifted up the duvet and his brother clambered in. He wrapped him arms around Ventus and stroked his hair until he fell asleep.
*Beep, beep, beep*
"Ugh... Ven get up." Roxas prodded his brother as his alarm clock set off and started to beep. Ventus rolled over, but he didn't know that their bodies where tangled together, and they both fell to the floor, bringing the duvet with them. Roxas hit him on the head and muttered under his breath. Suddenly the door was flung open and there stood a boy with chestnut brown hair that was spiked upwards and he had white pajamas with blue stars on his body.
"Roxas! ...Ven?" The boy shouted then lowered his voice when he saw both of them.
"Okay. Who's Roxas?" The twins grinned at this question from the boy.
"I am." They both answered. The boy slapped a hand to his face.
"Riku! They're being mean!"
"Sora shut up! You're gonna wake Cloud and the others." The real Roxas said with a harsh tone. A boy with silver hair and green eyes appeared next to Sora.
"Riku! Which is which?" Sora pouted and Riku placed a kiss on his lips making Ventus gag.
"There you go. That one's Ven." Riku smiled at the two boys who just stuck their tongues out at him.
"That's not fair though! Just cause I don't like to see my little brother kissing you doesn't mean you have to use it against me!" Ventus had never liked to see them kissing in front of him, not that he had a problem with it, the idea just seemed wrong. Roxas got up and started to make his bed.
"Ven in using the bathroom first." He yawned and exited the room.
"Me and Riku are gonna get changed. Our bus will be here in 20 minutes. You better hurry up." Sora dragged Riku out of the room and Ven just sat there.
"Eh... I'm going back to sleep..." And sleep he did. 10 minutes passed and Roxas kicked him in the side when he returned to the room.
"Rox what was that for!?" Ventus stood up for the first time that morning.
"Hurry up we have 10 minutes." Roxas placed some hair gel in front of the mirror and pushed Ventus over. He styled his hair just the same way as he had done his own. Their golden hair spiked upwards and to the right.
"I can do my own hair!"
"Pfft! Sure you can." Ventus pouted and Roxas just laughed at him.
"Come on. Clothes next." He said as he chucked some at his brother. They got changed and then looked at themselves in the mirror. They hair was done that same, both had beautiful sapphire eyes and they only way to tell them apart was their school uniform. You see Ventus goes to the Destiny Island Arts and Music School and Roxas goes to the Destiny Island Drama Academy. Ventus' uniform was a black button up, long sleeved shirt with light blue trousers and matching tie. On the other hand Roxas' uniform was a short sleeved white shirt and navy trousers with a black and grey checkered tie.
"Boys are you ready yet?" A man with blonde hair that was also spiky (what's with these guys and their spiky hair?) walked in and smiled them.
"Yes Cloud." They chirped and they walked down the stairs. They went to the kitchen and helped themselves to a plate full of pancakes each.
"Hey Roxas... My marks at school have been dropping and they said they're gonna kick me out..." Roxas looked at his brother in shock at this news.
"But you've always done your studies and everything!"
"I'm being bullied at school and they're taking my assignments passing them off as their own. Remember when I came home with a black eye? That's what happened when I threatened to tell on them. So I've been doing my homework and giving it to them and my schoolwork... Even most of my tests."
Roxas began to hug his brother and a plan began to work in his mind.
"Hey Ven... Remember when we used to swap places in classes? How about we do that again. Listen, I'm know everything you know about music and art and you know everything I know about acting and stuff so how about I go to your school!"
"But Rox, it probably won't work..."
"It will. Come on since when have we gotten caught? I can make sure those bullies don't mess with you again."
"I don't know... Riku goes to the same school as me and he can tell us apart."
"I doubt he'll tell anyone. After all we still have that picture from Sora's birthday~" Ventus' eyes lit up and he smiled.
"Okay. Let's give it a go." The boys ran upstairs, swapped uniforms whilst exchanging information about schools. The bus arrived and the twins raced down the stairs and got in.
"Ventus! Roxas! Over here!" Sora shouted from the back of the bus. The twins walked over and sat down.
"So Ven. Did you do your homework?" Roxas blinked his eyes.
"Yeah. Yeah I did." He replied slowly. Riku looked at him quizzically then flicked a strand of silver hair away from over his eye and shrugged before going back to his book. Ventus and Roxas began to whisper to each other trying not to be noticed by their brother and Riku.
"Ven, what homework?"
"Oh it was just some stuff about artists. Middle compartment is homework, right compartment is books and left compartment is money, lunch and school timetable. Just stick with Riku."
"Okay. Just remember one thing though. Stay away from Terra and Vanitas. They have crazy crushes on me and if you start becoming friendly with one of them the other will go all emo and stuff."
"Terra and Vanitas. Okay. The bullies are called Axel, Marluxia and Larxene." The bus pulled to a halt and Ventus wave goodbye to Riku and Roxas as he left the bus with Sora. They started moving again and Roxas sighed.
"Roxas. I know it's you." Riku said as he continued reading his oh so interesting book.
"Yeah and? I'm still technically going to school."
"And nothing. I'm not gonna rat you out. I know that Ven is being bullied and your plan to try and save him. That and I know that you have that picture…" Silver hair fell from behind his ear as a light pink dusted his cheeks.
"How the hell do you know that? And if you knew Ven is being bullied why hide it?"
"Please. Your plan was so obvious and anyway Ven begged me not to tell anyone." Roxas sighed a sigh of relief and smiled at Riku.
"Thank Riku." They sat in silence for the rest of the journey and when the bus pulled to a halt Roxas followed Riku. They walked for some time and then Roxas saw a huge school standing before him. It has a huge field to the side that carried on behind and a concrete area painted with yellow and white lines.
"I trust Ven told you the way around?"
"No. He told me to follow you." Riku put a hand to his forehead and sighed. He signalled for Roxas to follow him and that's what he did. Roxas was amazed by the detailed carvings on the wall, the marble floor and cleanliness of the place. Roxas' phone went off.
To Roxas:
What do I do when Namine asks me out? BTW this is Ven
Roxas sighed. He began to text back.
To Sora:
To Ven
Say no.
Send. Roxas looked and Riku had gone. He started to panic and he frantically turned his head from side to side trying to find someone. 3 people caught his eye, 2 boys and 1 girl, and they were headed in his direction.
"Hello Ventus." One of the people said. This one was a boy with long pink hair and light blue eyes. You could see his muscles through his shirt and to be honest he didn't look that intimidating.
"I hope you did our homework." The only girl in the group spoke up. She had lightning yellow hair that had been combed back with two antenna looking things sticking up. Her eyes were a light-dark green and her voice was probably the most annoying thing ever, all high pitched and everything.
"Come on Ven say something. It's fun when you try to fight back and fail." This was the last of the 3 people. He was a boy with spiky bright red hair, intense green eyes and a smirk on his lips. He had a slim physique but had some obvious muscles. Tall, cute and a beautiful voice that could make you feel as if you were in a dream.
"Oh trust me. I won't fail this time." Roxas hissed at the three making them laugh.
"Oh this will be fun." The girl said still sniggering.
"Oh shut up Larxene." Roxas snarled at her guessing that was her name.
"Ventus. Hand the work over." The boy with pink hair spoke up again, with a harsher tone of voice. It was obvious he didn't like Roxas' attitude towards them.
"No." Roxas said quite boldly and straight forwardly.
"Hurry up. I'm getting impatient."
"Marluxia come on. Just beat him up already." Larxene whined to the boy with pink hair.
"If you want something, here!" Roxas kicked Marluxia right around the face and then spun around punching him in the stomach making him fall to the ground.
"Oh~ Feisty Ventus. When did you get so rebellious?" The red head spoke up. Roxas able to guess from the information already given that this was Axel. So Marluxia had pink hair, Larxene was the girl and Axel was the annoying red-head dumbass who thinks he is either funny or smart.
"Shut the fuck up Axel. Or do you want me to punch your face in?"
"Language." Axel waggled his index finger at him as he continued to smirk.
"Come on Axel just take it off him." Larxene hissed. Axel nodded and proceeded to punch Roxas but he was too slow and Roxas had gripped his arm and chucked him to the ground. Helping himself up Axel breathed in deep, patting down his clothes and groaning when seeing that his shoelace was undone.
"I wonder how you got so good at standing up for yourself Ventus." Axel laughed and added extra emphasis of the word Ventus. He smirked and left with the two others trailing behind him.
"What a bastard..." Roxas mumbled to himself trying to find his classroom. Fortunately for him it was right around the corner so he sat down in the seat Ventus had told him was his (Third row back next to the window, behind Riku and next to a girl with short light blue hair.) and waited for the bell to ring.
~Meanwhile~
"Roxas! Roxas! Look its Namine." Sora squeaked to Ventus. He looked up and saw a girl in a white blouse and a short-ish navy skirt. She had ocean blue eyes and pale blonde hair that sweeped over one shoulder, she was really cute but Ven didn't understand why Sora pointed her out.
"Uh... Yeah."
"Roxas! I told you just yesterday that she's gonna ask you out today and you didn't answer and I wanna know what you're gonna say because I'm your brother and I deserve to know." Sora pouted angrily. It's amazing how much he can say without taking a breath.
"..." Ventus blanked out. 'Oh god what do I say?! Roxas might be mad if I reject her! But he might be angry if I say yes... I should text Roxas... Yeah I'll text him... AGH CRAP! I forgot I have no credit on my phone. No, no, no, no, no! What do I do? What do I do?'
"Rox? Hey Roxas?" Sora waved a hand in front of Ventus' face.
"Sora can I use your phone?" Sora nodded and handed his phone over
To Roxas:
What do I do when Namine asks me out? BTW this is Ven
In less than 10 seconds he had a reply.
To Sora:
To Ven
Say no.
'Okay. I'll delete these messages…' When Ventus had finished deleting the messages he handed Sora back his phone.
"Okay… What was that for?"
"I had to text Ro-Ventus! I had to text Ventus." Ventus slipped up but saved himself in time. Luckily for him Sora wasn't really paying attention to him but to his phone, he probably got a text from Riku.
"Come on let's just go to class." Ventus sighed as he grabbed Sora's arm.
"Roxas!" A tall boy with brown hair and a huge smile ran up to Ventus and captured him in a lung shattering hug.
"I… can't breathe…" The boy let go of him, making him drop to the floor. Ventus put a hand to his chest as he tried to catch his breath. The brunet held out a hand but it was violently slapped away by the blonde on the floor.
"What the hell were you trying to do?!" Ventus screamed at the boy, luckily for him there wasn't anyone else there other than Sora and a mysterious figure in the dark messing about on his phone. The boy looked to the ground disappointed and upset.
"I… I'm sorry Roxas. I get I got a bit too happy when I saw your face." The boy started to smile. Ventus got up and brushed himself down.
"I could have gotten hurt…" Ventus began to cry and both Sora and the other boy began panicking. This is when the figure in the dark decided to step into the light. He slowly began to walk over to the three arguing boys and smirked when the taller boy noticed him.
"Terra… Making Roxy cry, are you? How mean! And you say you love him." The boy had his hair styled the same as Sora but it was midnight black. His eyes were yellow, his collar was loose without a tie and he was standing up for Ventus.
"Vanitas…" The boy known as Terra growled. "Keep your dirty hand off of him." Ventus was scared now so he grabbed hold of Vanitas' sleeve.
"It's okay… He won't touch you again." Vanitas smirked at Terra, who had the biggest scowl on him face until his eyes shifted to Ventus (keeping in mind he thought it was Roxas) and he sighed.
"Good boy." Continuing his smirk Vanitas propped up Ventus' chin and stared into his blue eyes. His beautiful entrancing eyes…
"Ahhh! Roxas!" The two brunets shrieked as they saw that Ventus-Roxas was kissing Vanitas. The blonde shut his eyes tight as a tongue slipped into his mouth. Terra got really mad now and pulled Vanitas back and slapped him. Slapped him hard. Really hard. So hard in fact that he fell to the ground and fainted.
"Terra, what are you doing?!" Ventus cried and ran to the dark haired boy's side and looked at his cheek.
"It's gone bright red and he's fainted! Sora help me take him to the nurse's office." Terra tried to talk back to Ventus-Roxas but just stood there in shock. Ventus-Roxas helped Vanitas on to his back and Sora guided him.
"Ventus…" Sora whispered barely audible. The boy whose name had been said turned his head to Sora.
"How did you,"
"Even I could tell! Roxas isn't that soft. Last time Vanitas tried to kiss him he shoved him against a wall and place a death threat upon him."
"Oh god. Don't remind me…" A voice came from behind Ventus. Vanitas had awoken and was smiling at Ventus.
"I knew you looked prettier today. Ventus." The voice was so close to the boy's ear it made him shiver in disgust, or was it delight?
"I can't believe I got found out so fast, and by Sora too. Can you guys not tell anyone?" Ventus pouted and the two boys nodded. Vanitas got off of Ventus' back and stroked his cheek. Thinking he was going to be kissed again the blonde chewed on the corner of his bottom lip and began to shake slightly.
"I need to get to class. Don't worry I don't need to go to the nurse's office. See ya." He walked off with his hands in his pockets leaving the brothers in the middle of the corridor as the bell rang signaling that they were late…
