*Authors Note*: Hai guys so here it is. I have played over how to write this story in my mind for weeks and I think I finally have it. It may change up a bit if I don't find it suiting but that depends of what you guys think. If I get even 1 review than I will be happy. I crave your opinions. I love reviews like a fat kid loves cake :3 and like Axel loves fire and Roxas ;)

Chapter 1
Over the span of the one week that I had spent in Traverse Town, I really didn't know how I felt about this strange small place, hidden from the world in the consuming forest.
It felt like a dream. Not particularly a bad dream but one of those dreams you could live without. I have been thinking...Is any of this real, or not?
I watched the scenery from the window of the train. I had thought about going to the train door and jumping off here and now. I suppressed the thought and continued to drum my fingers on the arm rest of my seat. Its not that I dreaded living with my older brother Sora so much but the idea of a new school and life that scared me.
I didn't know anything about this new place, Traverse Town North Carolina. All I was sure is that is was the current location of my brother and his boyfriend Riku. By the demeanor and look of Sora it would seem he was the younger one, but Sora was actually 4 years older than me. He was going to turn 22 next week, that'd be 5 years.
I hated to bother Sora like this, imposing on him. I turned my attention to the window as we entered a lush forest. From the sunny beaches of Twilight Town, it was literally a new world.
I listened to the intercom as it came on overhead, "we will arrive in Traverse Town in approximately 45 minutes," said the crackly voice. I pressed my forehead to the window in an attempt to calm my nerves.
I clutched the handle of my duffel bag as the station loomed into view and the train began to slow. The breaks hissed as they locked into place, the doors unlocked and slide open gently. I headed for the nearest exit and stepped onto the deserted wooden platform. The area around the station was surrounded by forestry. I soon noticed I was the only one who had gotten off the train. I hesitantly crossed the platform and entered the station building.
It was quiet and warm inside, the only sound was the mumbling of the man at the service counter as he flipped through papers on the counter. Sora stood on the other side of the room, his back turned to me as he observed a billboard on the wall. Riku stood beside him and turned to the door as he heard me enter. He smiled and tapped Sora's shoulder to get him attention. Sora looked at him and looked in my direction as Riku pointed to me.
I had never seen someone smile so big in my life. Sora ran across the room and hugged me in what seemed like an attempt to squeeze all the air from me. Riku casually strolled after him and pulled the brunette off of me gently.
"Roxas! How was your trip! Enjoy the scenery!" Sora asked excitedly without stopping. "Fine," I smiled, "it was beautiful," I answered. "Good to see you in one piece," Riku smiled and gently patted me on the back. "Oh course he's in one piece! Roxas is almost a man now!" Sora said with exaggeration. I smiled lopsidedly at the outburst.
"Well come on. Let's get you home and show you around," Sora finished. I nodded and followed the couple out of the station. I climbed into the back of Riku's black car and set my bag in my lap protectively. That bag was now my only connection to the materials of my old life.
