I own nothing. This is just for fun. Like it or not, review or not, I'll keep posting until I don't want to post anymore.
It had always been him, his twin brother, and an older brother by one year. At first, he loved it. Nobody messed with him. And, even if they had, the repercussions were never worth messing with him. If his brothers were not around, then one of his friends was always around.
In short, he was never alone.
At first, he loved it. He did not know what to do if he didn't have a friend around him.
However, as the days turned into weeks and then into months and years, it all went downhill.
He hated never having any alone time. He hated his mother for getting pregnant so close together. He hated how—
"Ven!" A girl with a slightly raspy voice shouted behind him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and turned around. "That's not my name, Aqua. You've known me since kindergarten. Why do you keep confusing us?"
The girl stopped in midstep and looked at the boy. She frowned slightly and tugged on her hair slightly. "Aw. I'm sorry, Rox. You and Ven are twins, after all. I'll try not to confuse you two anymore. Anyways, have you seen Ven and Terra? We're supposed to be going to Disney Town today since Ven got the lifetime passports for free." Aqua said smiling, putting a hand on her hip.
The blond wrinkled his nose before smiling slightly. "He might be hanging out with Lea." 'But I really don't care.'"Okay! Thanks, Roxas!" Aqua said before she ran off, leaving Roxas along in front of the stairs that led up to the castle-like library.
Roxas shook his head and sighed. 'Just another person who gets my name wrong. Even my friends get my name wrong.'Roxas growled as he walked down the street to his house.
"Yeah. I heard about that too! A new kid that's related to Lea somehow! Nobody wants to really talk about him, especially Lea!" Roxas over heard a girl gossiping.
"Hey! Sora! Over here!" A male voice shouted. Roxas looked over his shoulder and saw a boy with chin-length hair that flipped at the bottom.
Roxas turned around and glared at the blond haired boy and the girl with brown hair that curled at the tips. "It's ROXAS! I'm NOT Ven or Sora!" Roxas shouted, balling his hands into tight fists.
The girl flinched and the boy glared. "Geez, Roxas. No need to get mad! It's not our fault that you and your brothers look alike!"
"But we DON'T, Tidus! Ven is ALWAYS wearing the Heartless symbol on is chest and Sora has BROWN hair! For Christ's sake! Why do you people get us confused?" Roxas growled and ran off.
"What's up with him?" The girl asked. She turned and looked at the boy and saw him shrug.
}{~*}{~*"Hey! Roxas! Wait up!" Another male voice shouted from behind Roxas.
Roxas stopped and turned around. He smiled softly. "Hey, Ven. Aqua is looking for you."
"I know. I just wanted to see if you wanted to come with us, Rox." Ven asked with a wide smile.
Roxas stared at Ven for a moment or two. "Yeah right. You're just being nice since we're twins.""Nah. I don't want to be in the middle of you and your friends. Besides, I have a major project that's due at the end of the week." Roxas said as he started to walk passed Ven.
His twin looked at him and smiled sadly. "Oh. Okay then. Tell mom that I might be staying at Terra's tonight."
Roxas nodded and walked off. He did not want anything to do with his brother's and their friends.
The moody blond walked passed through the park when he saw Lea and another redhead.
"Look, Axel, it's not you. I just only like hanging out with Ven and Isa." Lea said as he looked coldly at the taller redhead.
"Yeah right. Didn't Aunt Rena tell you to show me around the town, Lea? Not that I need a babysitter. Whatever." The taller redhead turned and started to walk out of the park.
Lea just stood there and sighed before running off in the opposite direction.
Roxas looked up as the redhead passed him.
The redhead turned and looked down at Roxas with bored emerald eyes. "What are you lookin' at, kid?"
"KID! What the hell! I'm sixteen, moron. Is that any way to talk to somebody that you don't know?" Roxas said through clenched teeth.
"It's bad enough that I lose my own identity, but now I'm a kid?'The redhead shrugged. "I've never cared how I talked to somebody who I didn't know."
Roxas just glared at the redhead before he blinked as he realized that the redhead had started to walk off. "Hey. What's your name and how do you know Lea?"
"Lea's my cousin by marriage." The red head said turning to face Roxas. "My name's Axel. A-X-E-L. Got it memorized?" he said as he tapped his pointer finger to his temple.
"Axel. What kind of name is that?" Roxas said with raised eyebrows.
"My mom was obsessed with Guns N' Roses. I'm named after Axl Rose, the lead singer in Guns N' Roses. My mom used to be one of their groupies. Only difference is, I have an 'e' in my name. Axl didn't have an 'e'." Axel said slowly.
Roxas blinked slowly. "Oh. My name is Roxas."
Axel just looked at Roxas. "Nice to meet you, Roxas. Are you related to Ventus and Sora?"
Roxas frowned and nodded. "Ven is my twin and Sora is our older brother."
"You don't look anything like Sora and the only similarities that I see between you and Ventus is your hair color and your eyes. Other than that, I don't see why Aunt Rena says you three look so much alike."
"Because people are idiots."
Axel laughed at Roxas. "I like you, Roxas. You're really funny."
Roxas stared at Roxas and smiled slightly. "Thanks, I think."
"Do you have any free time?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Axel grinned and grabbed Roxas' hand. "Because you're going to show me around the town since my idiot cousin bailed on me."
"Okay then..."
}{~*}{~*Roxas and Axel were sitting on top of a large clock tower that acted like the town's train station.
"I've been a lot of places, but I love Twilight Town the most because of the sunsets." Axel said as he leaned back on one hand and pulled one knee up to his chest.
Roxas looked over at Axel and laughed. "Why do you keep your ice cream stick in your mouth after you've finished it off?"
Axel just shrugged. "Dunno. I've always done this though."
They were silent for a while before Axel laid down and looked up at the nearly night sky.
"Axel?" Roxas said softly.
"Yeah?" Axel answered just as softly.
"You're weird."
"Thanks a lot. That helps my self confidence."
