A/N: Hello again, my lovely little readers! Yes, it is I, DaughteroftheRedKing, once more procrastinating to write a Kingdom Hearts fanfic!

What's that, you say? My title is rubbish? Why, of course it is! I never know what to call a story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. Square Enix do. And Disney. This fic doesn't have Disney characters in it, by the way.

A taxi pulled up outside of a large house. Three people got out, grabbing suitcases from the boot, and the oldest paid the driver. Then it drove off, leaving them standing on the curb.

"Come on, let's go," said the oldest, walking towards the door. The other two followed, dragging their suitcases behind them.

The oldest reached the door, ringing the doorbell and waiting a moment. It was opened by a brunette boy with a scar on his face. He smiled as he spotted them.

"Cloud," he greeted.

"Hey Leon. Thanks for doing this," the oldest, Cloud, said.

"It's no problem. Are these Sora and Roxas?" he asked, looking at the other two. One was blonde, the other brunette, but both had deep blue eyes. They glanced up at their names, and while Sora smiled, Roxas glanced away again.

Cloud sighed, then looked back. "Sorry. It's just...a bit of a shock, is all."

"It's okay, I understand. Come in, I'll show you to your rooms."

The three of them walked in, Sora sticking close to Roxas. Roxas pretty much ignored everything as they headed upstairs.

"Okay, two rooms, like you asked. This one is yours, Cloud. Roxas, Sora, this one is for you."

The boys walked into their respective rooms, looking around. Cloud, who had stayed around before and had this room, didn't show much interest. Sora gazed around, while Roxas stood at the door looking bored.

"Mum says you can come down and have dinner whenever you want," Leon said from the doorway. Cloud nodded, smiling his thanks, and Leon headed downstairs.

Cloud crossed over to his brothers, looking at them. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"We're fine," Sora replied with a smile.

"Well, don't hesitate to talk if anything bothers you, alright? I'm here for you," Cloud murmured.

Sora nodded, hugging him, and after a brief moment of hesitation Roxas did the same. Eventually they pulled back, and Cloud straightened.

"Are you hungry? Or do you need time to settle in?" he asked.

"We'll be down in a bit," Sora replied.

"Alright. Don't stay up here all night, you do need to eat," Cloud reminded with a smile. He ruffled their hair before heading downstairs.

Sora turned to Roxas, frowning. "You're being rude, Roxas."

Roxas shrugged. "So?"

"Cloud and Leon are just trying to be nice. You shouldn't be like that with them."

Roxas looked away, tilting his head slightly. "Fine."

"Good. Come on, I'm famished. Let's get some food."

It had been sudden, and completely unexpected.

Their parents had gone on a week holiday to America, to see their mother's grandparents. They would have taken their children with them, but they'd never really had much money and couldn't afford more than two seats. Plus, their grandmother was dying, and they couldn't wait. Still, they were hesitant to leave their children home alone.

Eventually, Cloud had convinced them that they would be fine, saying that he would look after them, and they'd left. Roxas had gotten in an argument with them just before they left, though he'd soon gotten over his anger and had called them to apologise. They said it was fine, and everything looked great.

On the day they were coming back, Cloud was busy making lunch, so the two boys had gone out to the end of the street to wait. They'd spotted the car and grinned, waving. Their mother waved back, and their father gave a smile.

Then a lorry crashed into them.

Roxas had become withdrawn. The last time he'd properly seen his parents, he'd been screaming at them. So, he stopped talking. The only person he really interacted with was Sora.

Sora tried to be happy, but it was straining him. The worst bit was that while Roxas had looked away, clutching Sora's arm, Sora had watched in shock.

Cloud wasn't a legal adult yet, and so they had almost risked being moved to an orphanage, which he was certain wouldn't help his brothers. But then his friend Leon had called.

Leon's mother ran an orphanage, so Leon lived there, and it wouldn't be too much of a problem to just let them move there. That way, there was no chance of one of them being accidentally adopted - Leon's mother could just say they weren't up for adoption - and new surroundings would hopefully get them to open up a bit more.

So the twins said their goodbyes to their friends, who offered comfort and condolances that really didn't do much to stop the hurt, and then they left.

As Sora led the way back downstairs, Roxas trailing behind him, it struck him that there were quite a few kids at the orphanage. It was like a warzone, with toys and books scattered around, children running all over the place, workers and volunteers alike trying to get the children under control. A few of the older children watched from the sidelines, continuing with whatever they were doing.

The twins moved relatively easily through the mess, the excitement making them less obvious, and soon they reached the kitchen. Cloud looked up from talking with Leon and smiled.

"Glad you could join us. The foods great," Cloud said. Sora and Roxas took a seat each, Roxas staring at the table while Sora beamed at Leon.

Raine, Leon's mother, walked over and placed the food infront of them. She smiled gently at them, before patting Leon on the shoulder and walking out.

Leon raised an eyebrow then shrugged, turning back. "So, are you two settling in okay?" he asked the twins.

Sora nodded. "Yep. We just need to get unpacked," he replied.

"Well, if you need help with anything, feel free to ask," Leon offered.

"We will, thanks," Sora replied with another smile. He picked up the plate and placed it on the side, despite it still being over half full, and glanced at Roxas. "I'll be upstairs," he told his twin before heading out.

Cloud glanced at the plate worriedly, then turned to Roxas. "I thought you said you were going to get him to start eating more," he said.

"He is eating more," Roxas muttered.

"Not enough!"

Roxas glared at him. "I'm trying," he growled.

He quickly finished off his food, putting his plate on the side. He looked into the cupboards, spotting a couple of bags of crisps, and pulled them down, looking at Leon questioningly. Leon glanced uncertainly at Cloud, who shrugged.

"Um...sure," Leon said.

Roxas nodded his thanks, heading out the room and upstairs after his brother. Leon turned to Cloud, frowning.

"What's going on, Cloud? I've not really heard what's happened."

Cloud shook his head. "I don't know for sure. Roxas and Sora were the ones who saw what happened. All I know is, whatever it was, Roxas doesn't want to talk anymore, and Sora doesn't want to eat."

A/N: Aww, what a lovely little story. Their parents got crushed by a lorry! Aren't I nice?

You know, the only reason I started writing this was so that I could have Cloud as a big brother of Sora and Roxas. Strange where inspiration comes from, isn't it?

Oh, and this'll be a pretty short fic. Like, twelve chapters or so. That's why I finished writing it in less than 24 hours. But sucks to be you, cuz I'm only uploading one chap a week! MWAHAHAHAHA!

Review?
