Chapter 3

Swerving through traffic in his black car, Cloud seemed to like driving dangerously. Sora had his phone out and was texting someone with a smile, seemingly unaware of the crazy driving going on. Roxas on the other hand swore they almost hit four other cars, and barely escaped being hit by three others.

The large sign that told them they were arriving at the mall made Roxas breath out a sigh of relief. He hoped Cloud didn't always drive that crazy, although Roxas gave him a small break. The SOLDIER was running late for work, and with having to drop them off, he had an even higher chance of being late.

Cloud pulled through the parking lot to the entrance of the mall. Sora looked up from his phone, surprised. "We're here already?" He asked; time having flown by for him. Roxas felt like the ride lasted a million years.

"Yeah." Cloud said chuckling. "Just call me when you need a ride and I'll come get you if I'm not out on a job. If I am, I'll get Zack to pick you up." Cloud told them as they unbuckled.

"Yes mother." Sora said sarcastically, without any harsh intent. Cloud didn't even blink. He knew he sounded like a mother hen, but he had been a member of crime stopping for too long to not be careful.

"Thanks." Roxas supplied quietly as he stepped out of the car.

"You're welcome Roxas." Cloud said with a smile before turning to Sora. "Remember to call me." With that, Cloud was speeding out of the parking lot, the screeching of him turning out of the lot onto the main road traveling all the way to the entrance of the mall.

"Does he always drive like that?" Roxas asked as he followed Sora into the mall. Sora blinked at him for a minute before smiling.

"Oh, you mean his crazy driving? He only drives like that when he is driving his car." Sora explained. Roxas looked at him, confused as to what else he could drive. Sora caught on an elaborated. "As a SOLDIER he was required to obtain a motorcycle. He found one and took it to his friend Cid Highwind. Together they tweaked it and fixed it up, and now it's one of the best driven by a SOLDIER." Sora turned and grinned cheekily at him. "By the way, its name is Fenir."

Roxas blinked before shaking his head. It was official. His family was crazy.

Roxas followed Sora as they traveled store to store, going into everything from Radiant Ducks, to H.B. Committee, to even Hot Bastions. Sora bought his kind of things, while he also gave Roxas the opportunity to buy the stuff that fit his wardrobe better.

After making their last stop, Sora realized how hungry he was. "Hey Roxas, you want to go to the food court?"

Roxas nodded slightly. "Sure, why not?" His stomach had been asking for food since that morning, it was time he ate at least a little bit. He wouldn't eat too much, but a bit or two couldn't hurt.

Once there they split only for a minute to go to separate food stands. Sora finished ordering and received his food before Roxas, so he headed to a table for the two of them. He grabbed one of the four people tables in the middle and sat down. He just grabbed a fry off his plate right as Roxas sat down across from him.

Sora practically inhaled his food as Roxas nibbled on his chicken wrap. When Sora was finished he stood to go to the restroom. Roxas denied going to and told him he would take their trays. He carefully stacked the napkins and his wrap on the tray and stood to throw them away.

As he neared the trashcan, he tripped lightly; not enough to fall, but enough to almost cause a few of the particles on the tray to fall. He looked down to fix it and didn't realize until it was too late that someone was in from of him.

Crashing into the taller figure, he dropped the tray in surprise as he almost fell. Hands gripped his arms and stopped his fall before carefully lowering him to the ground. "Wow Sora, you're even more clumsy than usual." Roxas looked up to see a man with startling teal eyes and shimmering gray- no silver hair.

The teal eyes widened, snapping Roxas out of his daze. "Wait... you're not Sora?" He said, although it came out more as a question. He stared down at Roxas for a minute before jumping slightly, feeling rude for just standing there.

He crouched down to Roxas' level and helped him put everything on the tray before picking it up himself. Standing, he turned and tossed the rubbish in the trash can before placing the tray in the tray holder.

He turned back around and looked at Roxas, obviously studying him. Roxas felt the need to speak up. "No I'm not Sora." He said simply.

Riku nodded to himself before asking, "Who are you then?"

"I'm Roxas, Sora's twin brother." He explained.

"I never knew Sora had a twin..." Riku muttered to himself. Roxas tried to ignore the pang in his chest, having thought Sora would have told his friends about him. Roxas recovered.

'Maybe he isn't that close to this guy.' Roxas thought hopefully. 'He's probably told his closest friends (at least) that I was moving in with him again.'

"I'm R-" He was cut off as a familiar voice yelled out, finishing his name for him.

"Riku!" Sora said as he flew past Roxas to practically jump/tackle the silverette in front of him.

Roxas started to have doubts about Sora and Riku not being very close as the silver haired boy didn't even blink in surprise at the entrance of the bubbliest male Strife. Sora backed up and looked from Roxas to Riku for a minute before grinning. "This is Roxas!" He introduced his brother happily. "Roxas, this is Riku!" He introduced the silverette as he jumped on him again. "He's my best friend in the whole wide world!"

Roxas felt a pang in his chest as he was proven wrong. It seemed like Sora didn't feel that Roxas coming to live with him, or even his existence, was important enough to tell even his best friend.

"Calm down Sora, we saw each other two days ago. It's not like it's been weeks or anything." Riku said with a laugh. He attempted to pry the smaller boy off of him, but failed. Even though Riku was much stronger than Sora, it was only when the brunette was ready to let go did Riku find himself free from the other's grasp. "So what have you two been doing?" Riku asked after brushing himself off.

Roxas opened his mouth to reply, but was interrupted by his blond counter-part. "Cloud dropped us off so Rox and I could go shopping!" Riku nodded thoughtfully.

"So you're free the rest of the day?" Riku asked. Roxas looked at his black and white checkered watch. It was only one in the afternoon, having arrived at the mall around ten in the morning.

"We should hang out!" Sora said, excited again. Roxas shifted awkwardly, having no voice in the conversation. He didn't mind hanging out with Sora, and even Riku. He just hated being ignored. With the new knowledge of him maybe not being important to his twin brother, it was hard for him to be cheerful at all.

"Why don't you two hang out?" Roxas asked before Riku or Sora spoke up again. "I can call Cloud to come and get me."

"Are you sure?" Sora asked, feeling bad about leaving his brother out. When Roxas nodded, Sora pulled him in for a hug. "I'll see you later Rox." Sora said and pulled back.

Riku smiled at Roxas. "Maybe we'll meet each other in a different fashion next time." He said referring to Roxas falling on him with a wink.

"Maybe, maybe not." Roxas said with a mixture of a smirk and a smile on his face. Roxas waved before turning and headed the way he and Sora had entered.

When he neared the exit he pulled out his phone, pulling up Cloud's number. Hitting call, he pushed the doors of the exit open and walked into the parking lot. As he heard the ringing as Cloud probably went to answer his phone, Roxas looked around, surveying the people outside. There were only a few teenagers smoking, giving Roxas the idea.

Roxas pulled his pack of cigarettes from his pocket when Cloud picked up. "Cloud Strife." Cloud answered monotonously.

"It's Roxas." He pulled out his lighter and placed the white stick in his mouth. Flicking the lighter, he touched it to the tip before slipping it back into his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Cloud asked, immediately sensing something was wrong.

Roxas smiled wryly. "Nothing, Sora is hanging out with Riku so I figured I could just call you for a ride."

"Sure thing, I'll be there in a minute." Cloud said with no complaints at having to pick his little brother up. Roxas thanked him before hanging up. Leaning against the wall, he continued to smoke. After a minute he dropped it to the ground and stepped on it carefully.

A beastly black motorcycle pulled in, causing heads to turn in its direction. Roxas automatically knew it was the famous Fenir Sora had been talking about.

Cloud pulled up in front of Roxas, stopping completely. Cloud swung his long leg over the seat of the bike to stand next to his little brother. Pulling his helmet off, Roxas wasn't surprised to find even a motorcycle helmet couldn't tame the famous 'Strife Spikes'. He didn't bother taking off his sunglasses.

"Hey Roxas." Cloud greeted with a hug.

"Hey Cloud." Roxas spoke into his muscled chest.

Cloud openedone of the large compartments of his bike (1) and pulled out a spare helmet for Roxas. Putting it gently on Roxas' head, Cloud snapped the latch on his brother's throat strap before placing his own back on.

Swinging his leg back over the bike, he revved the engine as Roxas got on behind him. Latching his arms completely around his older brother, Roxas got comfortable quickly.

Cloud pulled forward and out of the parking lot. It only took Roxas a moment to notice they were going the opposite way of his new house.

"Where are we going?" Roxas yelled in Cloud's ear.

Cloud turned his head to speak to Roxas, his sunglass covered eyes never leaving the road in front of him. "To the SOLDIER base. I'm not officially off work until seven. Is that okay?" He yelled.

"Yeah." Roxas yelled back. He didn't want to be only now anyway.

"I want you to meet some friends of mine anyway." Cloud yelled with a grin. Roxas couldn't help but smile back.

"Cool."
