A/N: I advise you to go watch "Lockdown for Love" by hopezii on youtube. I've been watching a lot of her kingdom hearts amv's and this one just gave me so many ideas. My story strays a fair bit from what it shows.. but it also uses a lot so beware of spoilers.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of the kindom hearts characters. They belong to disney and square enix.
Warning: I can't give a proper warning because I'm not sure what all will or won't happen yet.
A family bond is like a loop knot. If there's something there, no matter which end you pull on, it will always stay together.
"Tifa.. we can't keep them both." A young blonde haired man whispered, looking down upon a young whimpering child in his arms, it's eyes fluttering open every so often to reveal bright cerulean eyes so much like it's fathers. Across the room a tired but beautiful woman sighed gently smoothing the chocolate spikes of an almost identical infant in her arms.
"I know cloud, but what are we supposed to do? The foster system would split them up and the orphanage is run by Maleficent. We can't leave them there."
"It's better leave them there than have the risk of them getting caught in our cross fire. It's not safe with us, besides, Snow is at the orphanage and we both know she'll watch out for them.
"I.." The woman paused sighing as the child grasped her fingers looking up at her with little eyes the size of baby worlds, reflecting her own worried expression back to her. Innocents radiate from the boy yet his eyes seemed to hold so much.
"Is this the answer you've been looking for?" A man walked in holding the hand of a small child, no older than four years old, who walked shakily beside him. A devious grin spread across the child's features, his eyes shining as we quickly wobbled away from his father to poke the blond in Cloud's arms. "I'll stay here Cloud, you may not particularily like me but it's better for everyone. I may not be able to adopt them but I can keep an eye out for them. Besides, they'll probably end up going to school with this little trouble maker.
Tifa let out a small laugh watching in amusement as the little red-head got his finger stuck in the babies mouth.
"Owww! Let go you little shrimp!" The boy shrieked attempting to pull back before stumbling into the bed Tifa was sitting on.
"Hey, no patronizing him." Cloud spoke sternly, the faint light in his eyes giving his humour away to his rival.
"I'm not sure Roxas likes that idea, but it will have to do." Tifa smiled sadley pulling both of her boys into her arms.
"I love you two.. be good for Uncle Reno and Snow, alright?" Cloud whispered, ruffling their hair as Tifa kissed both of their foreheads.
"Aww, I'm their Uncle Reno? So sweet. As sappy as this is I need to get them to the orphanage and you two need to get out of here before someone realizes they're yours." Reno poked half heartedly before being handed the twin boys.
"We're keeping them?" The little red-head asked wide eyed. Reno bit back a laugh, shaking his head.
"Not quite but you're gonna protect them one day, got it?" Reno asked. The boy looked at them sourly for a minute before deciding protesting would do him no good and nodding. Looking back to wave goodbye the little boy's eyes widened. Where a once mourning couple sat there was a perfectly made room with little evidence of disturbance.
The Strife family was gone.
