Author's Note: Okay, so this is my first attempt at a half-decent fanfic! I hope people like it… and I hope that people other than my sister and my sister's friends read it… [awkward…] So, authors notes in the story are gonna be in [brackets]. Just a heads up.

Summary: [AU] [Rated M just for safety and perhaps for later chapters.] The residents of Destiny Island find life as difficult as the next teenager, feeling their way along in the shadows. The new kids are no different, but will they find light in the dark?

Disclaimer: There's no way I'm awesome enough to own KH or FF. If I did, we all know who'd be screwing who.

Warnings: Okay, this fanfic has YAOI. That means GUY ON GUY RELATIONSHIPS. It also has TWINCEST. That's INCEST with TWINS. If you dislike either of these, leave NOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, OH MARY SUES OF .

They were new. They were new, and they had just moved in. Their house was still crowded with boxes, the moving vans were still paying regular visits, and they were new. Here they were, at this crazy party, not knowing anyone and not really wanting to meet anyone either. Sora clutched his twin's hand and Roxas gave it a reassuring squeeze. This was Kairi's house, right next door to theirs. It was moderate in size and lights were flashing through the windows. Loud dance music was blaring over the stereo and people were dancing, laughing, talking, singing. Somebody had set up karaoke and a cheering crowd formed around the makeshift stage (the dining room table on which people were dancing). There were people in the pool as well, fully clothed, splashing each other and those around them. The twins were standing awkwardly by the front gate which had balloons blossoming from it. Through the crowd came a crimson-haired head and Sora recognized Kairi, the birthday girl. She was wearing an embarrassing bunny suit to celebrate the occasion. Sora had to admit, she looked really cute, with the huge ears and fluffy tail. She noticed the twins and waved, grinning. Trying to navigate the crowd, she received multiple slaps on the ass or tweaks of the tail as greetings from overzealous party guests. Managing to break free of the whirling mass of colour, sound and laughter, she greeted the twins enthusiastically, giving them strawberry-scented hugs.

Sora stood by the picket-fence gate to his house, letting the breeze wash over him. It carried the salty scent of the sea and he breathed in the smell. He could already imagine the glare of the sun and feel the spray on his face. He loved the ocean.

Roxas was standing in the shadow of the doorway, observing his twin. He admired Sora's tanned skin and perfect hair, his slim figure that was toned as well. He's amazing, Roxas thought, affection washing over him. 'You're amazing,' he said out loud, walking toward his brunette copy.

'You're perfect,' Sora replied, closing his eyes as his twin came up behind him and rested his chin on Sora's shoulder, wrapping his arms around Sora's waist.

'I can't wait to go to the beach,' Sora sighed out. Roxas studied his profile; perfect nose, clear, tanned skin, soft rosy lips almost like a girl's, parted to take in a deep breath of air. Roxas turned his twin around and kissed him deeply, entwining his fingers in Sora's soft hair. Sora made a noise of longing and pressed himself against Roxas, arms snaking around to hug him tight. They stood like this for a good five minutes, eyes closed and lips connected, pressed close together as though they were one. And in many ways they were; they were not two separate individuals but one whole being put into two people. They were each other's and their own and they completed each other in a way that only they understood. Sora was light, Roxas darkness; Sora was the innocence, Roxas the knowledge of unsaid things. They stood and relished their completion and recognized their separation, but not as separate; of two halves to a whole, two sides to a coin, two people made with and for and not without each other.

'Wow. That's really hot.'

Moment ruined. They broke apart, unashamed A girl was standing to on the other side of the white picket fence to their left, resting her elbows on the wood as though she had been watching them for a while. She was wearing a stylish pink shirt that ended at her upper thigh and short white leggings with pink ballet flats. The breeze picked up her mid-length crimson hair and tossed it playfully, sending the scent of strawberries toward them. She was pretty, the twins decided. She looked like a nice person. They each sized her up and glanced at each other, agreeing that she had their acceptance. Their identical eyes flicked back to her, both of them wearing politely curious smiles, their fingers interwoven still.

'Sorry about that, but it really was kinda hot and I just felt you two should know that I'm totally into threesomes with hot twins.' She gave an adorable, cheeky grin that Roxas, the more outgoing of the twins, answered.

'Oh, sure, we get that a lot, don't we, Sora?'

He gave his twin a passionate kiss, not like the one they had shared before which was deep with understanding, but one that was heated and filled with longing and a feral need. The girl's mouth fell open.

'Yeah, okay, okay, I get it! I'm already adolescent, I'm horny enough without two gorgeous twins making out in front of me.' She gave a dazzling smile as they broke apart again. 'Sora? That's a nice name. You guys are new, right?'

'Thanks,' smiled Sora. 'We just moved in yesterday.'

'Oh, cool,' the girl said, tucking her windswept hair behind her ear. 'I'm your new neighbor then, I guess. I'm Kairi.' She held out her hand, and to her surprise both twins knelt and kissed it at the same time. 'You guys are sweet,' she said, giving a dramatically flattered look. Roxas grinned at his twin, who gave an identical grin in return.

'I'm Roxas, and this is Sora, but you already knew that.'
