Helloooo! Once again I am here with a Kingdom Hearts AU! WOOO. This one is different than my other one. Though, it seems I really like to torture these characters and give them some sort of defect. Why? I have no clue.

I finally jumped on board with the whole "twins fall for twins" thing. Kairi and Namine are twins and Roxas and Sora are twins in this one. Yayyy. I'm only gonna do it in one story though. Then go back to Roxas and Sora as cousins. It'll get old if I did it in every story, now wouldn't it?

Okay, back to the point. I made Roxas dyslexic because my uncle (whom I seem to keep writing stories based off of) is dyslexic and he used to play guitar. He had trouble reading music or even lyrics for that matter. So I made this story about Roxas having trouble being able to read his own lyrics. (You'll notice that they're all Jesse McCartney songs because I love him and he voices Roxas, so it fits.) This first chapter is pretty short. But hopefully I can make them longer.

Disclaimer: Don't own Kingdom Hearts in anyway shape or form! I do own a Roxas plushie though! :D

Roxas and Sora Rollin. Freshmen at Twilight Town High. They were cool kids, twins too, and they would have girls all over them if it weren't for the fact they didn't want "flings". Skating was a biggy for the two. They would eat, sleep, and breathe it if they could. They were kind and caring, but Roxas could be snarky and sarcastic once he got comfortable around you. Sora was the sweeter twin, you could say. Though, Roxas sometimes was quiet and shy around new people. His fiery redheaded best friend, Axel, claims he turns into a "zombie".

Axel Louis. Got it memorized? He was a sophomore at the school. Axel had his fun with matches and lighters. His friends soon learned to keep those away from him. He also skated like the twins but he'd often try to impress a girl and fall on his face. Axel's hair was just naturally that fiery color, no one ever believed him though, saying he had to have dyed it. Pranks were also a thing he was into, not that his friends liked it, considering they were his victims. Mostly Riku.

Riku Emerson was a tough kid. He was a sophomore as well, though he was slightly shorter than Axel. He was the only one of his friends that actually played a school sport. Football? Nah. He actually played soccer if that's a surprise. Though his hair was longer than most guys' no one ever questioned him. Most people were actually scared of Riku, unless you found out what a big softie he was for his female friends. Especially, Xion.

Xion Sweet was anything but that. She was tough, quiet, shy, but demanding at the same time. She was kind but you wouldn't want to piss her off. She was the youngest, skipping a grade, making her thirteen as a freshman. Her skateboard meant more to her than a relationship ever would though it seemed. Xion was one of the boys, but she was the cautious one behind their evil schemes. Never would she let Hayner and the gang affect her choices.

Hayner Jones, Olette Marsh, and Pence Carton have all known each other since kindergarten. They were also known as the "Three Musketeers" considering they had been friends before they had met anyone else in the teenagers group of friends. Pence was all about mysteries and taking pictures. If he heard any type of rumor he'd go to snoop it out. Hayner is a hot head, always trying to get his way. There is a half hearted side to him though; he could be caring when he tried. Olette was the girl that stole his heart, having been with the two since the age of five, she was used to being around them and going on their adventures. She soon became an adventurer herself. Someday she said she wanted to go across the country to find new things. Hayner and Pence agreed to tag along of course, but Hayner didn't agree with Ventus' remark about tagging along.

Ventus Rollin was a senior at Twilight Town High. Of course, by the last name you see that he is the older brother of the Rollin twins. There is much confusion though, considering Roxas and Ventus looked more alike than the actual twins did. Same dark blond hair and bright blue eyes. Speaking of which, they also had a cousin by the name of Vanitas who, by glance, looks a bit like Sora. Though, the personalities were completely different through the family tree. Vanitas was almost the exact opposite of his cousins. He was lazy, rude, and quite the play boy. Ventus, on the other hand, was kind and caring like his brothers. He'd do anything and everything for someone. Though don't doubt that Ven could also be a bit of a jokester, constantly teasing his little brother of the crush he's had on Kairi Strife since second grade.

This is where our little introductions end. The sweet Strife twins, Kairi and Namine. Namine was shy, quiet, and artistic while Kairi was more out going and put herself out there for fun. The two were cautious due to the fact their parents split when the girls were just three. In the end of the custody battle, it seemed that neither parent was fit to take care of them. Therefore, the twins ended up living with their grandmother. The girls didn't mind in the slightest because once moving to Twilight Town they gained all their friends. Kairi is very open to her sister about her crush on her best friend Sora. Namine is quieter when it comes to hers but it just so happens she has a crush on the other twin, Roxas. Ironic, right? Namine could never bring herself to speak openly about such things, but maybe she would eventually. Maybe she would just keep it quiet a bit longer.

Everyone has a secret, don't they?


The two female twins stepped in sync down the sidewalk, before pausing at crosswalk. They stood together chattering about useless things while the light turned green.

That is until Kairi brought up a more interesting topic, "So, do you think Sora likes me, Nams? I mean, he doesn't react to any flirting I try or anything."

The blonde twin shrugged, "Just tell him how you feel."

Kairi shook her head, the dark cherry locks of hair smacked her in the face, "No, no! I'll ruin our friendship if he doesn't like me back!"

"You're making this way too complicated," Namine groaned before continuing, "He's obviously crazy about you Kai, so get over whatever it is that's really holding you back."

Her sister sighed and stomped her foot, "That's not it! I'm saying I don't want-"

"Look out!" A familiar voice screamed.

Turning around, they saw the two Rollin twins coming towards them on their skateboards. The girls screamed cowering in fear. Roxas slammed his foot on the pavement, skidding to a stop hastily before latching onto his brother's arm to slow him. Sora grimaced but then peaked an eye open to see that he didn't hit one of the females. He exhaled in relief before slumping next to a bush nearby.

Roxas placed a hand on his chest to ease his racing heartbeat, "You two didn't get hurt did you?" He asked through exhausted huffing.

"No, we're fine." Namine replied catching her breath from the scare.

That's when Xion finally made her arrival, gliding up behind the boys on her board before furrowing her brow, "What happened here? I heard screaming. I told you guys it wasn't a good idea to race! You're such idiots!" She barked at the boys.

"It's cool Xion, no one got hurt. We all just had a few mini-heart attacks." Sora huffed before grinning at her.

"Thank God, I swear Sora, how do you not get brain damage with all the nonsense you do? Is that spiky hair of yours actually a helmet?" Xion retorted with a stomp of her foot.

Sora's grin only widened, "It possibly could be. Hit me with a brick and let's find out."

Roxas finally found this as a decent time to cut in, "Um, maybe let's not. Even though Sora does deserve a brick to the head."

"Hey!"

Namine giggled at the bickering that was amongst her friends before snapping back to reality, "Guys! We're going to be late for school!"

"Oh damn it!" Xion screeched before hopping back on her board and taking off before even checking the light.

"Need a lift, Kai?" Sora asked as he placed a foot on his skateboard.

Kairi cautiously put her feet on the back of the board, "Is this safe?"

The chocolate haired boy shrugged, "We'll find out now won't we?" He took off down the road, merely laughing as Kairi screeched his name in fear.

Roxas turned to Namine, "You too?"

The blonde shook her head, "N-No thanks, I get nervous on anything with wheels that isn't a car. I'll just run."

Her friend flipped his board up, before tucking it under his arm. Roxas turned his lips up into a smile before hold his arm out for the girl to grab, "We'll run together then?"

Namine let out a giggle then nodded as she looped her arm around his elbow padded arm. Once the light turned red for the cars to stop, the two took off into a high speed run towards there school, the mornings events now forgotten.


Namine eased down the hall, it was finally her free period, and luckily for her it was right before lunch. She was sure Roxas had the same free period as she did, but she couldn't find him anywhere.

As Namine paced down the hall she paused, hearing a tune from inside the music room. That was odd. All the music classes are earlier in the morning. Who could be in there? The flaxen blonde cocked her head before placing her ear to the door.

"You can't walk back in my life.

You had your chance to be by my side.

I don't have to hear you cry to know."

"What a beautiful voice..." Namine murmured to herself in awe. The younger twin was now determined to find out this mysterious singer.

"Just go.

I gave you my word and I promised to love you.

Go, it's over.

You had your chance.

Just go.

There's nothing inside me that still feels connected to you.

To me you're already gone."

The blue eyes of Namine peaked into the room, as the door silently opened with a slight creek. She prayed the mysterious voice wouldn't hear it. The person she saw, though, was one she hadn't expected. Not at all. Namine's jaw dropped when she saw the spiky blond hair of Roxas Rollin. He was strumming on a guitar, his eyes focused on a sheet of paper in front of him. His mouth sang out the words flawlessly.

"I got a new love now.

She's my new love now.

And she loves me so.

Takes me where you never..."

Roxas paused then hit the note again, "Never...tool? Wait. No. That's took." He bit his tongue before groaning irritably. "Damn it, I can't even learn the stupid words I wrote! How am I ever going to be able to do this if I can't read my lyrics!"

What's he mean by that? The girl stood and slowly tip-toed over to her friend. She lightly put a hand on his shoulder. The blond boy jumped and let out a small gasp of surprise.

"How long have you been here?" Roxas demanded.

The blonde gripped her arm, before giving him a guilty smile, "Long enough."

"You heard me singing, huh?"

She nodded slowly, "I didn't mean to. I heard you from the hall and wanted to know who it was. I'm sorry, Roxas."

He shook his head, "No. No. Don't be sorry. I shouldn't have been singing in here. It's just..." Roxas paused before explaining, "The guitar I've been using is Sora's, and until I get some money I can't get my own. Well, Sora wants his back now, and I was trying to finish writing this song. So, I snuck in here to use one of the school's guitars..."

"I see. Why are you having trouble?"

The boy in front of her flinched before sighing in defeat, "I guess someone should know the truth. If anyone I guess I'd want it to be you." Namine fought a blush at his words as he continued, "Sora knows, but he's my twin, so he's going to of course. But the point is, I'm dyslexic, Namine..."

Her heart dropped. He's dyslexic? How does he always much such perfect grades then? Namine opened her mouth to speak but it came out in a stutter. She kept trying until all she could force out was, "H-How...?"

"How do I make good grades?"

She nodded vigorously, waiting for the answer.

"I go to tutoring after school on Wednesdays. Have you noticed how I always claim to have 'detention' on those days? I'm surprised no one has noticed it's always a Wednesday."

For the moment, Namine was speechless. How could she have not figured this out?
