Hello, I just wanted to say that I've fixed some mistakes and changed a few small things in the chapters, so hopefully there are none left. But as I can't really tell, please inform me :).

Enjoy the story!


Roxas' pov

"C'mon Roxas, It's time to get up!"

Hello my name is Roxas Strife and I'm sixteen years old. The one that shouted just now, with that overly happy and irritating voice to hear in the morning, is my twin-brother Sora.

"I'm up already!"

Truth is I haven't even gotten out of bed, but he doesn't know that.

"Well, hurry up or you'll miss breakfast!"

"Alright, alright, for the love of sea-salt I'm coming."

Sora is older than me by only ten minutes and he always has to tell everyone. I got out of bed and walked into the bathroom and took a shower before I put on a pair of baggy, black and beige jeans, a black t-shirt and a white jacket over that. I walked downstairs and into the kitchen where Sora's already seated by the table inhaling his breakfast. Sora wore a pair of baggy, dark blue and black trousers with yellow straps and a blue belt. A tight fitting, dark blue t-shirt and a small, dark, jacket with a white-ish hood. In looks Sora and I are not that similar; he has really spiky hair and goes in every direction and it's chocolaty whereas I have smaller spikes directed to the right and my hair is golden blonde. He has also a tanned skin while mine is milky-white. Our faces though are similar and so are our big, blue eyes. However, our personalities are complete opposites; since I'm blonde and fair-skinned I should be a ray of sunshine… you could not be more wrong. Sora is the positive one, always happy and smiling; he's friendly and outgoing and has no worries at all. I, on the other hand, am negative (realistic really), I'm quiet and anti-social and let's face it I'm as emotional as a rock though I'm able to get angry (naturally).

Also sitting at the table reading the newspaper is our, if you think father or mother you're mistaken, they're dead; no sitting by the table is our older brother Cloud. He has been taking care of us for two years, since our parents died. His hair is even spikier than Sora's and blonder than mine but his eyes are as blue as ours. Cloud is quiet and many would say mysterious. He has practised kendo and karate and he even has a sword, though he doesn't use it… much.

Anyways I sat down and had my toast and juice. Cloud and I have a silent communication in the mornings so when we say 'good morning' we nod. After breakfast I finish up and then I fix our lunch boxes, even Cloud's. That's my routine.

"C'mon you two, 'tis time to go!" called Cloud from the doorway.

Sora came rushing down with his bag pack and mine over his shoulder and put on his shoes before he took the lunchboxes and put them in the bags. Cloud took his and patted my head like always. I put on my shoes and followed them out and locked the door. Cloud went to the garage and brought out his bike, Fenrir.

"Remember to call me if you need anything and be home before dinner"

"Of course Cloud, since it's Rox who's making it, I wouldn't want to be late." Sora said as happy as ever.

Cloud nodded and left on Fenrir towards Radiant University. I picked up my skateboard and followed Sora to Oblivion Secondary School (where we go our last three years in school before university. It's also a mix between Radiant Garden, Traverse Town, Twilight Town and Destiny Islands. Oblivion Secondary School is in Traverse Town; the town between the others and therefore we only have a walking distance, since we live there). Sora is always chatting on and on about everything almost burning my ears. Fortunately for me I'll be saved in 3… 2…1

"Sora!"

Score, I'm saved!

"Riku!"

Sora ran towards his best friend Riku and kissed him, he's also his boyfriend. Yup, you heard right, he's gay. Riku Jenova is… well, he's good for Sora. He's protective, nice to his friends, a pretty awesome guy once you get to know him. He has silver hair! And his eyes are aquarium blue with a hint of green in them. I remember when Sora introduced him as his boyfriend, I didn't quite trust him at the time and we'd never really spoken prior to that meeting either.

"Hi, Rox!"

Sora came waving at me while dragging his new friend Riku, a complete arrogant ass.

"Hi Sora, what ya want?"

"Well, I wanted you to meet Riku."

"Okay… I've met him before, everyday to school in fact." I raised an eyebrow at him and his cheeks turned redder.

"Yes, but… I mean… okay, this is Riku my… boyfriend."

He ended with intertwining their hands and kissed Riku's cheek. I think my face was blank and I just stared at them. Then a voice called for Sora and he looked super relieved.

"I'll just, let you two talk, while I go and see what they want."

And he disappeared. I stared at Riku who hadn't moved a muscle and before he could blink I grabbed him by the collar and pushed him up the locker. His face showed surprise, I could imagine why since he's a blitzball player and looks ten times stronger than I.

"I will give you a warning" I hissed low enough for only him to hear "if you ever hurt him in any way, I'll hunt you down and castrate you."

Riku's facial expression changed and his eyes turned to steel. He took hold of my wrist but didn't try to get out of my grip.

"I would never hurt him, I love him with all my heart and nothing will ever change that, and I'll promise you that I'll do anything to protect him, anything."

His eyes spoke truth, he would even be better at protecting Sora than I and he wouldn't leave him for anything. I knew then that I could trust him and I felt my lips turn upwards in a small smile.

"Sora is innocent and he deserves someone who can protect him," I released his collar and he dropped his hand "I know you'll take care of him and if you ever need anything give me a call. I'll give you a piece of advice also, be straightforward with him, that's the best way."

Riku looked shocked and then smiled.

"You're okay Roxas and thank you for the support it means a lot to him."

Sora came back and stood by Riku, looking slightly nervous until he saw my face.

"You're… you're smiling Rox!"

He gave me his megawatt smile but mine disappeared and my face turned to stone again. Sora looked a little sad at that.

"Anyways, are you going to introduce Riku to Cloud today or are you going to wait?"

"You, you called him 'Riku', you've never done that before."

"Oh?" Riku said while raising an eyebrow. "What did he call me?"

"Whenever I talked about you he always called you 'General Bastard'"

"Really?" Riku smiled amused so I know he wasn't offended.

"Yup, but I promise he'll make it up to you and since he called you by your real name he consider you a friend." Sora said smiling still and kissed Riku's cheek again.

"Sure I will, I'll bring him cookies tomorrow." I said before leaving them alone.

"Can't you two lovebirds wait till you're alone before going all sugary and stuff?"

I rolled up to them and stopped with my arms crossed.

"Good morning to you too Rox, as radiant as ever I see." Riku smirked and ruffled my hair.

"Well, I do try Princess." I smirked back at him.

"Wow, you even insult each other pleasantly."

Sora grinned and then decided to drag Riku along towards our new school. Even though he's already attended there for a year. Before our parents died we lived between Hollow Bastion and Destiny Islands, Sora went to school on Destiny Islands while I went to school in Hollow Bastion.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Oblivion Secondary School was an old castle-like building with huge windows and oak doors. Sora was skipping through the gates earning a few stares from other students. We got closer to the stairs when a group of three blocked our way. The one in the front was a tall redhead and the one next to him was dirty blond with a mullet-hawk and average height and the third one was smaller and shorter with silver, grey, blue-ish hair covering half of his face.

"Yo, Riku! Nice seein' ya!"

"Axel, it's been…"

Riku was interrupted by the mullet-hawk-guy who threw himself at Riku and dragged him to the ground. Sora startled and latched on to my arm immediately. Riku cursed and got the blonde off of him.

"Do you have to attack me every time Demyx?"

The mullet-hawk, Demyx, stood up and gave a megawatt smile like the ones Sora does.

"Of course, we haven't seen you in, like, forever!"

Demyx was on the way to jump Riku again when the smaller guy with the emo hairstyle grabbed his collar and held him back.

"Thank you, Zexion."

"No problem."

Sora was beginning to fidget at my side.

"Oi, Princess! Your boyfriend is getting nervous."

My face was blank and my voice emotionless, like always when in public. Riku's face darkened, the redhead and mullet-hawk guy sniggered at Riku's nickname but shut up when they saw his face. Riku walked back to Sora and moved his arm around his waist then he turned to his other friends.

"Guys, this is my boyfriend Sora and Mr Sunshine" he jerked his head towards me "over there is Roxas, his twin. Those three are third years."

"Hello I'm Demyx, this one here" he motioned towards the 'emo' "is my boyfriend Zexion, and the crazy redhead is Axel."

"Pleasure." Sora and I said in unison, though, he more happily than I.

"He doesn't seem that sunshiny to me." Demyx said with a frown and I just stared, Riku burst out laughing and Sora giggled (yes, giggled). Axel smirked and slung his arm around my shoulder.

"Don't worry Dem, Roxy will open up to us in no time."

"Don't call me that." I responded automatically.

I removed his arm from my shoulder and backed away and as if on cue Sora and Riku's friends from Destiny Islands arrived and they formed a circle around them with the other three among them, apparently they know each other already. I was left out but that was also normal so I walked into the school on my own, leaving them to chat.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

Today was going to be short; we just got our schedules and then some information about everything you don't even care about. I hadn't met Sora or Riku or any of their other friends. I found myself outside when I heard voices, for some reason they seemed familiar. When I rounded the corner I saw my childhood friend Hayner, he lived in Hollow Bastion when we were kids but moved to Twilight Town when I was eight. He was lip locked with a sort-of-friend I made in Hollow Bastion; we got along because I could fight. I heard he also moved to Twilight Town. But I never thought I would see Hayner and his 'rival' Seifer in that kind of embrace. Why let the opportunity go to waste?

"Why hello you two, is that another way of fighting I haven't heard about? Maybe you can win Hayner."

Seifer and Hayner flew apart both flushed, Hayner more so than Seifer.

"Chickenwuss fancy meeting you, and for the record, chickadee here would never be able to beat me in anything." Seifer's infamous smirk was in place and he held a protective arm around Hayner, who still looked quite embarrassed.

"Maybe you should be careful Seifer, or you might not get any tonight."

Hayner burst into a coughing fit and his face grew even redder, Seifer just smirked and patted his back. Hayner recovered and sprang at me knocking me to the floor; it hurt but he was fun to tease.

"What the hell Roxas! You little bastard… it's good to see you, it's been ages man!"

That's Hayner for you pissed off one moment and happy as hell the next.

"Hey!" Seifer lifted Hayner off of me and held him possessively. "Don't go flirtin' with others Hayner. I'm gettin' jealous." He murmured the last part into Hayner's neck and I couldn't stop smirking at them. They were quite perfect for each other.

"I'm gonna go and let you two… do whatever. Bye." I turned and walked away but I just couldn't let this pass. "And wear a condom!" Seifer laughed and Hayner… I couldn't even understand what he was saying.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO

The day was finally over I hadn't made any new friends but that was to be expected and I didn't need any not when I've met Hayner, and Seifer (of course). Sora's and Riku's friends were more than enough people to meet. I waited by the gates for Sora and Riku, unfortunately the most irritating vermin ever created came up to me… have you been able to guess? Well, if you guessed Kairi, you're completely right. She doesn't seem to notice that her clothes make her look like a prostitute. It was fun when she always tried to be alone with Sora, before he dated Riku, it was short after I was released from the hospital after the death of our parents and I clung to Sora never leaving him and Kairi alone.

"Oh, it's cutter boy." Kairi sneered.

(Might I add that she's completely wrong, I've never cut myself in my whole life).

"Oh, it's the harlot." I said dully.

Kairi's face twisted in anger making her even more ugly. I stared blankly at her, she opened her mouth to say something when Sora, Riku (of course), Demyx, Zexion, Axel and a blonde girl approached and Kairi turned her attention towards them.

"Sora! I was just looking for you." Her voice was so sickeningly sweet that I almost gagged.

"Hi, Kairi." Sora said wearing his usual goofy smile. "Roxas, where have you been all day?"

"Around. I met some friends from Hollow Bastion." Sora looked surprised at this.

"You remembered them?"

I froze and stared unblinkingly at him. When I woke up at the hospital after my parents' death I had no memories of the accident or my life before that, though I did remember who Cloud and Sora were after a while.

I blinked away the darkness that clouded my mind and stared up at the white ceiling. A voice to my right spoke suddenly:

"Roxas? Roxas! He's awake!"

I turned to the voice and I saw a boy with sky blue eyes and brown spiky hair. He took my hand and smiled relieved at me.

"Hey, Roxas. Welcome back."

"…Who are you?" I stared at him blankly.

His face fell and his eyes began tearing up. Before he could answer, two more entered. One was a nurse and the other was a guy with blonde and even spikier hair than the brown haired boy, but his eyes were the same as the boy's.

"Roxas, you're awake!" he sat next to the brown haired boy and looked equally relieved.

"Who's Roxas?" I asked and the brown haired boy choked on a sob before running out of the room crying.

I felt slightly guilty, though I didn't know why. The nurse did some check-ups and a doctor walked in speaking to the blonde guy. They explained that my name was Roxas Strife and that I had been in a car crash when the brown haired boy walked in again, his eyes were red. He sat next to me again and smiled a sad smile. I found out that their names were Sora (the brunette) and Cloud (the blond), my brothers. No wonder that they were sad and Sora's apparently my twin brother. They told me that our parents had died in the accident but I couldn't feel any sorrow. I felt close to nothing and didn't respond to them.

After a week in the hospital I had still not regained my memories and I still didn't speak to them much. I didn't have a private room and one day when Cloud and Sora weren't there another person was put in the room. He had been slashed across the face with something and called himself Leon. Later he had a visitor, a redhead called Reno. Apparently they were friends and he had been with Leon. Leon spoke to me and we became sort of friends, though he was older, maybe a year older than Cloud. I told Leon about the car crash and how I didn't feel sad that my parents were dead, but that I felt guilty for my brothers. He listened and told me to not worry about that and just get to know my brothers again. He was released the next day. I was released from the hospital a few days later but I didn't go back to school, but was home tutored instead. I visited our parents' graves and later that evening all three of us sat and played Super Smash Brothers Brawl. Cloud played as Marth, Sora as Kirby and I as Pit (he can fly!). We were going to play in teams; I took the CPU and let Cloud and Sora play together. We began playing and I ruled.

"I always win." I said smirking. "I could take you three-on-one like last time." Cloud and Sora froze and turned to me I looked at them and my eyes widened. I remembered them, not everything but some. "Haven't I always told you that?" I said smiling.

Cloud and Sora pounced me and we fell in a heap on the floor. I let myself smile more and more memories returned of them. Then the nightmares began and my emotions closed off. The next year I began school with Sora and met Riku for the first time.

"Yes, I did." I turned and began walking home Sora and Riku saying something to the others and followed, together with Riku. Kairi's home was, luckily, in the other direction.

I had noticed that I did remember things if they were a déjà vu feeling or something surprising. Hayner and Seifer had been quite a shock, hence the remembrance. Though, they are quite the perfect match.

Sora and Riku chattered while I walked in silence. When we got home I prepared dinner and when it was ready Cloud came home. Afterwards we played Super Smash Brothers Brawl, no teams, I won, of course. Riku stayed the night and slept in Sora's room. I stayed awake a bit longer because an annoying redhead intruded in my mind but later I finally fell asleep.

OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
