italics=twin thoughts
"I am… very disappointed in you four." I heard the Superior said. Axel, Demyx, Zexion, and I were on our left knee, kneeling on our right. Our torsos were slightly hinged as our left arms were on our chest. We dear not look at him
Xemnas sighed another disappointing sigh. "You four… are my elite members. I was expecting nothing more but sheer greatness. But, I was wrong. You four almost got caught and left massive damage."
"We apologize, Superior." Zexion stated. "But we had some…troubles along the way."
"Troubles?" Superior looked at us. I notice Demyx rolling his eyes. We all knew he was watching us. So he knew who was our 'troubles'. "State them."
"… My half-brother, Riku and XIII's twin, Sora."
"Ah, yes. Sora and Riku." Superior stated. "They've been getting on my nerves for the last straw. Especially your brother, VI." Now that caught my attention. What have Riku been doing behind Sora's back?
"Now, I have found a suitable punishment for you four." Xemnas stated. "You'll pay will be deducted by 20%."
"But Superior-"
"Quiet VIII and IX." He silenced Axel and Demyx. "You have nothing and no one to blame but yourself. Dismiss."
"Five hundred munny." Demyx stated as we walked to the train station. We were in our regular outfits, out of the Organization XIII jackets. I was wearing my usual outfit (A/N- Kingdom Hearts II outfit). Demyx was wearing a blue tee-shirt and dark demin jeans with a hole in the left knee. Zexion wore an all black sweat suit with a lilac tee. I think he's albino since he had he's hood on. And then my Axel was wearing a black shirt shaped as a vest and red pants with a few chains hanging off the side of his belt hooks. "I guess that I can survive the money with only a few to eat."
"I wonder if this would be enough for my brother." Axel stated. I looked away, not liking him when he's upset. "But I guess Xemnas is right. It was my fault."
"No it wasn't." I hissed. Axel looked at me. "Sure it is. If I didn't come over, Sora probably wouldn't have heard me."
"… I think it was something else." I stated as all four of us walked on the train, automatically sitting in the back. "Alright, listen and listen well." I started. "I think… I think Sora can hear my thoughts."
"…Cool." Zexion hit Demyx for me for his sarcasm. "Continue, Roxas." He stated. I looked around before talking again. "During the fight, I heard his thoughts. And he heard mines. And I'm thinking that it started last night."
"Last night?"
"He saved me from my father's wrath yesterday." I stated. "He was abnormally warm. I never felt that way before. And, I felt a strange wave of fear when Sora and I were in the tunnel."
"That's strange." Zexion stated. "If I do recall, you say that you get a thrill when going in the tunnel."
"Yeah, but that was Sora's first time, right?" Axel asked. "So, what you're saying is you think you and Sora have this new found connection that matches with that telekinesis thingy theory."
"It seems so." I laid back. "So we can feel everything the other's feeling."
"…So… if you're horny, then he feels it?" It was my turn to hit Axel. "Ow. You're mean, Roxy." He laughed.
"I don't even want to think about that, Axel." I huffed. Zexion summoned his lexicon on the low and flipped through a couple of pages. "I don't see anything about this… twin telekinesis." He informed. "But, they do say that telekinesis is genetic."
"So that means your father must've had some type of telekinetic gene within him." Demyx leaned back. "I mean, who else could've it came from. Males genetics are stronger when it comes to sons."
"... I have a trait from my father?" I thought for a while. "...Nah." A person nearby answered for me. We turned around and looked at a brunette man that looked like he's in his mid thirties. His eyes shined a deep brown and had a scare across his face. "I seriously doubt that."
"What do you know?" Demyx hissed, causing Zexion to hit our friend again. The man chuckled. "I have about twenty more years of experience than you. So yeah, I do know. Although," He looks directly at me. "The whole town will agree with me that the Arkamarai twins look like their mother, but look nothing like their father."
"... I doubt it and why the hell are you even in this conversation!" Axel became defensive. I knew he was because he said the same theory with me a couple of years back. I got upset about that, feeling that I might've been a misfit and Axel reversed his theory just to make me feel better. The man shrugged his shoulder. "You four... are in trouble, are you?"
"I will have to say that confidential, sir." Zexion answered before Axel, Demyx, or I snapped. The man shrugged. "Sure thing." He grinned and it reminded me of Sora when he's thinking mischievously. The man got up when the train stop. "I'm glad you think that way of me, Roxas." How the hell did he know my name? "By the way, my name is Leon Lionheart." Lionheart? I could've sworn I've heard that name form my mother before. He disappeared into the crowd. He had a sword strapped to his back, but it looked like a cool blade hybrid with a gun. A gunblade. That's the word. Demyx snickered. "That was weird." You're telling me.
"... I swear, this is a bad idea." I mumbled as we walked up to Zexion's house. I have a feeling that Riku's gonna ram me into the ground for hearting Sora yesterday. Demyx was jumping up in down like a child in a candy story. Right now, everyone just wants to get away from their family, I suppose. And Zexion's place is usually the best when Riku's around. That's when he's safer.
Demyx actually lives on his own, though. He uses to be like Sora. Loved in every way imaginable and spoiled to death from super rich parents. Hence the word use. Demyx only told Axel and I why he got kicked out in the streets and joined the Organization after his parents started hunting him down on a search and destroy mission. Demyx is gay and his parents are complete and over-reacting homophobes. They cut him off all the money and now Demyx have to fend for him self. Zexion and Riku were born from different mothers, both pregnant at the same time. Their father went to Riku's mother, and then was caught cheating with Zexion's mother. One day, his parents died in an accident-turned-explosion that burned his parents to death. Riku begged his family to take him in. They did, but acted so cruel to him behind Riku's back.
And everyone knows mines and Axel's story, so I'm not going to repeat it.
Riku looked at us as soon as we walked through the door. "... Zexion."
"Riku." Zexion nodded his head as we walked upstairs. I looked at him once more and notice his lips were a little brushed. Must be from the fight earlier. "You wanna ask me something?" Riku stated, looking straight at me. He didn't glare, which surprised me. I shook my head and sighed. "Did Sora get home okay?"
"Just fine." Riku walked pasted me. "Just don't make him worry again or I'll kill you in your sleep." Of course. Way a go, Riku for ruining a perfect conversation. "Sure… I'll make sure I'll not do that." I stated sarcastically. And here comes the glaring contest. I swear, how my brother fell in love with this bastard, I'll never know. I hate the bastard.
"I have a theory that Riku is up to something again." I heard Demyx talking to Zexion. The junior shrugged, looking at the homework assignment Demyx pulled out.
"Must suck being the one who skipped a grade." Axel pointed out, ignoring Demyx's theory completely and getting a glare for our emo wearing hairstyle friend. Axel grinned. "But hey! On the bright side, you get to hang around hot juniors." Demyx kicked Axel in the shin when Zexion wasn't paying attention to them, glaring at the redhead. Zexion rolled his eyes. "I don't have time for bimbos like the whores in the school." He stated. Demyx smiled. "Yeah. He doesn't have time."
"Oh, shut up you." Axel hissed, slightly laughing. Then his eyes shifted towards me. "Hey, Roxy. What's wrong?"
"Huh…ugh… that Leon guy…" I admitted. "He's presence just gave me the creeps." I wasn't lying about that. His words. I knew a couple of people thought that, but I didn't know the entire town did. "Ah, don't mind him." Demyx stated. "He was probably drunk."
"He was sober, Demyx." Zexion stated, grabbing a book and reading it. "And I'm not doing your homework again. I'll help you but that's just about it."
"Aw, come on, Zexy."
"Don't call me that." Did I just see a faint blush on Zexion? Axel grinned, so I'm guessing he saw it, too. "Hey, Zexy-" Axel was interrupted as he dodged a book that was flung towards him. "I asked all of you not to call me that." Zexion stated, more like hissed. "Honestly, you guys are so hardheaded and disrespectful to one's wishes. It's a mystery to the world why we're even friends."
"Don't be like that, Zexy." Demyx sat next to him. I think I saw the blush getting deeper. "I mean, we're not that different."
"Oh really?" Zexion folded his arms, raising an eyebrow. "Then let me explain how different we really are. Axel is too devilish for his own kind-"
True.
"-You're too hyper to even be consider a senior high freshman-"
True.
"-I am too quiet and like to hang around people with some decency, in which none of you have-"
True that. Except me, of course. I have decency.
"-And Roxas here have extreme anger issues."
"I DO NOT!" I huffed. Axel laughed. "That's true." He stated. "It was this one time he got so angry when I accidentally put his mp3 in the wash when he was helping me clean my room. He grabbed the knife and started chasing me around the house. I went on for hours. And I think he lost all point of a civilize man inside him since he was just saying random thing like-"
"I'll do it again if you continue to talk." I warned and huffed in annoyance. I do not have anger issues.
"See ya, later." I waved to Zexion and Demyx as I dragged Axel out of the room. Axel, being the idiot that he is, was constantly messing with Demyx and Zexion. Or Zemyx, as he called them. Say they are inseparable even though they're not going together. Zexion doesn't really like Demyx all that much to my knowledge, but we all both Axel and I knew Demyx was in love with him.
Riku watched as I dragged Axel downstairs. "You're still not going to make a move yet?" He smirked. I knew he was talking to me. Axel became confused as I glared at him. "What is he talking about?" Axel asked, but I completely ignored him. "What? Have you?!" I hissed.
"Ah! But I have kiss my lover's juicy lips." Riku licked his lips in the most perverted way possible, which I probably think Sora would think it was the sexiest thing ever. Wait… What?!
"You little bitch!" I hissed and would've given Riku a mean left hook if Axel didn't grab me. "If you ever touch my brother like that again-"
"Relax, kitten." Riku laughed. "It was just a kiss. And I must say that he and I enjoyed it very well."
"I'm going to rip your balls off and shove it up you virgin as-"
"Roxas, that is enough." Zexion stated. "And Riku, stop provoking him."
"Why not. He never cared about Sora before." Riku hissed. Usually he never retorts to his brother's orders, but when it's about the Organization and Sora, he begs to differ.
"Axel, let me go so I can kill him!"
"I guess we'll be going." Axel picked me up and carried me over his shoulders. He hates conflict and always knows when it's time to go before one appears. "See ya, Riku."
"Don't ever let me do what I have to do again!" Riku hissed, mainly at me. "I don't like you. And truthfully, I wont hesitate to kill you if you put my brother and Sora in that type of danger again." He huffed. "Some brother."
"OKAY! THAT'S IT!" I almost jumped off of Axel's shoulders if he didn't have a firm grip on me.
"Axel, get him out of here!" Demyx yelled as Axel carried me out. I was so boiled. Sure, I haven't been there for him, but I want to now. I guess Sora didn't tell him what happen last night beside the text.
… Sorry…
If that was Sora's voice, I am so going to get him when I get home.
… For what…
"For kissing that bastard!" I yelled at the sky. Axel laughed at my outburst. "Now hopefully, you aint talking to me?" He stated. I rolled my eyes. "I'm not going to like Riku. No matter how hard I try."
"I know." Axel finally set me down, but grabbed my hand so I wouldn't run back. Damn. He knows me all to well. "You got into as many fights with him just as bad as you did with your brother. Mainly, because of your brother." I huffed again. "The bastard is lucky."
"Hey, calm down, Roxy." Axel smirked. "If you do, I'll get you some Sea-Salt Ice Cream."
"I'm not a child, Axel." I hissed. Then looked away, embarrassed. "…But okay."
"Knew that would get you." Axel's smirk turned into a smile. My anger turned into blushing. His smile always makes me feel better for the moment. But also, because I just realized I was holding his hand.
The sunset was nice. I mean, really nice. "When as the last time we were up here?" Axel stated, eating the ice cream. His legs were dangling off the edge of the clock tower along with mines. I grinned. "Forever." I answered, biting into the ice cream. Then looking over to see the setting sunlight beaming off of Axel's face. My two favorite things with me: Sea-Salt Ice Cream and Axel.
"I don't think you're a bad brother, Roxy." Axel turned to me. "Riku doesn't know what he's talking about. He obviously doesn't know what's going on. You just… need time to prove yourself, that's all."
"Funny. Last I checked, I was Sora's keeper, not him." I laughed. And the kissed Sora gave me earlier appeared in my head. Why the hell did Sora kiss me and… why did I kiss back? Crap, I need to change the subject or else this perfect moment is going to go to waste. "Hey. Did you think of a topic for your independent project?"
Wow… School…
Way a go, loser.
"Not really." Axel gave me a look. "Why did you remind me?" His pain made me laugh a little, and apparently, that made him happy. "Okay. You can work with me?"
"Oh, really? And what are you going to do."
"… I don't know." I pouted. "I was hoping you had something. Something good and doesn't have to deal with explosion."
"You're a kill joy." Axel sighed, but chuckled. "Lets try this out for kicks, then. A test of friendship."
"Do we really have to?" I pouted, but Axel could see right through the fake annoyance.
"Aw, come on." Axel whined, leaning closer to me. "We can even bring Sora and his little play bunny along the ride." I narrowed my eyes. I didn't like how he used that term to associate the friendship between Sora and Riku. Obviously, Axel got the message and laughed at my facial expression. "Okay, Sorry. But, we have to make a promise then. That no matter what girl is around, what prizes may come, or whatever life shoves at us, we will still stay close with each other."
"… How close?"
"As close as we can possibly get." Axel finished his ice cream and stuck it up my mouth. I didn't spit it out. He always does this. I'm not complaining, though. I take it as an indirect kiss. "Got it memorized?" I smiled, shoving the last bit of my ice cream on his face. "Yep."
"Very funny." Axel licked it off since it was near his mouth. Damn, I wanted to lick off the remains I missed. Wait! Stop thinking like that, man. You can do all that when you get home.
"Here." I gave him half of my munny. "You need this to help your brother pay rent, right?"
"But-"
"Don't interject and you don't need to pay me back. You need it. And besides, what are best friends for." I got up. "Lets go home. It's getting late-" My sentence was cut off by a pair of hands pulling me down and my lips intertwining with another pair of soft lips. Axel's lips. I closed my eyes and moaned to the kiss, feeling the warmth spread throughout my body.
-Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding-
We were interrupted by the bells, but I wasn't too mad as I thought I would be. Axel smiled. "Thanks, Roxy. I owe you one." Consider that kiss as payback then.
I opened the door, looking around nervously. My backpack was letting off an aroma since I stopped by and picked up something to eat incase dad 'accidentally' forgets to call me down for dinner. I smiled once I felt that the coast was clear. I might get lucky today. "Come in, you disrespectful bitch." … Danm. Father's voiced scared the shit out of me. I gulped and did just as he instructed. Suddenly, I felt a small rush for some odd reason. The fuck? "Now-"
"Roxas!" I turned to Sora running downstairs; catching his breath as through he had been through some sort of a… rush… the fuck?
He took my backpack. "What do we have here?"
"Sora, give me back my backpack!" I started chasing him, ignoring my father's angry calls. I chased Sora all the way to his messy room, where I closed the door so he wouldn't leave out. Sora smirked and tossed me my backpack. "Consider it as saving your butt for saving mines on the train." He stated. "My head would've been all over the place if you hadn't kicked me down."
"… How did you know-"
"I felt scared." Sora answered, his eyes frowning. "Does father really scare you that much?"
You have no idea, I thought. Sora sat down and took out his controller for the Xbox live. He took out a second controller, and then looked at me with desperate and hopeful eyes. … Will you play with me? My eyes widen at the sadness of his tone. I sat down and entered myself in the game, happy to see him smile.
The game went in silence for a while until he started whining about how I kicked his but in Halo 3 for the seventh time.
"I so won that!"
"No you didn't. The game never lies!"
"You found a glitch! You cheated!" Sora whined some more. I took out the Panda Express carryout out off of my bag. "Want some?"
"Sure- wait a minute! Don't change the subject." Sora pouted and I couldn't help but smiled at the cuteness of it al- NO! NO! Don't think thoughts like that! Bad thoughts! Very bad thoughts! I shook my head, grabbing a fork and digging into my mandarin chicken and steam rice with my brother.
We talked about absolutely nothing and we loved every second of it.
