RainyxKnight asked me to write a prequel to her story Axel's Rubber Duck so I put it in this chapter. Go read her amazing story when your done with this chapter =)

Roxas sprinted into the safety of his home. As he ran up the stares to his room he saw what no brother should ever see his twin doing. On the couch was Ven who was stuck in a lip lock with some brunet. Wait...Roxas did a double take. Did Vanitas die his hair? Roxas shuddered at the thought. Before his presents was noticed the duo on the couch ran up the stairs, away from the incest, and slammed his bedroom door behind him.

Once in his dark, quiet room Roxas final let himself relax. Falling onto his bed it hit him. Axel had asked him to move in with him. And Roxas had run away like the coward he is. Rolling on his stomach and started to scream like a school girl with his pillow muffling the noise.

"Am I interrupting something, Princess?" Roxas' head shot up and his blue eyes found the gold irises of his older brother with black hair...? The young blond felt his face heat up but forced himself to keep eye contact with his brother, "Well I just came up here to tell you dinner's done." Roxas was about to get up from his bed but froze in his spot when he remembered what was downstairs. Sensing Roxas' hesitance Vanitas said with almost a growl, "Don't worry I scared off that little brat."

A few minutes later Roxas found himself sitting at the table in the kitchen with his brothers. Ven was sitting across from him and was pouting while Vanitas was by the oven retrieving their food. After a few burns and curses the eldest brother placed a plate of breaded food in the middle of the table.

"Fish sticks again?" Ven asked and glared over at Vanitas.

"It's the only thing I know how to cook so you can shut up and eat it or go away and starve." Vanitas shot back.

Roxas bashed his head on the table and groaned as he listened to his brothers bickering and somewhere in the background the sound of innocent fish sticks getting knocked to the ground, "I wish mom was still alive."

The fighting stopped as soon as the comment was made. Ventus stared from his distraught twin to the ruined dinner laying on the flood then back to his brother before an idea came to him, "Why don't we go out for some pizza?"

x~X~x~X~x

The pizza parlor was crowded and smelt like burnt cheese, but they served the best greasy, artery-clogging pizza in all of Traverse Town. The brothers sat down at a small booth and while the two oldest looked over the menu while the youngest zoned out and looked out the window. The loud obnoxious chatter of equally loud obnoxious kids went unnoticed by him while he was lost in his thoughts.

"-xas. ROXAS!" Roxas was snapped out of his thoughts by a slap to the back of his head.

"Vanitas! Don't hit him!" Ventus said sounding like a scolding mother while glaring at his older brother who was sitting across from him.

Vanitas just shrugged and ignored Ven's stares at him, "Just wanted to know if he wanted a large 3 meat pizza."

Ven just scoffed, "Is meat all you can digest? How about we get a cheese one instead?"

"Eww no!"

Roxas started to hit his head on the window h was sitting by. Why do they always have to fight? Was the only thought going through Roxas' head every time it made contact with the window.

"Fuck this! I'm going to the bathroom." Ven said while standing up. But before he left he shot Vanitas a glare, "Don't. Order. Meat. While. I'm. Gone."

On the other side of the small pizza parlor a pair of friends chatted about this and that while waiting for their pizza. Axel and Demyx were the friends to be exact and they ordered a extra large pepperoni pizza. It was Demyx's last night living in Traverse Town and the friends were celebrating at their favorite restaurant. Demyx was going on and on about his manager who looked like a pirate while Axel just nodded every once and a while and pretended to listen but his thoughts were somewhere far off.

His far off stare brought his line of sight over to a blond boy walking towards the bathrooms, "Looks like the stalker's here." Axel cut off Demyx's rambling. Before Demyx could register why he was so rudely interrupted his friend had already left the table and was heading for said stalker.

Axel slowly walked behind the blond. Wait am I stalking him now? When the stalkie made it to the single mens bathroom Axel quickly jumped in and pushed the younger boy in before he could shut and lock the door. The bathroom was small and could barely fit the two of them.

The small boy stumbled in and quickly turned around to face his attacker who was successfully blocking the exit, "Who the fuck are you!" The blond's blue eyes examined the tall redhead with bright green eyes.

"Wow Roxas and you complain about me forgetting."

"Roxas...?" Ven's eyes widened in when he realized who he was trapped in the bathroom with, "You must be Axel."

"Well duh. Thought you had it memorized." Axel said while rolling his eyes.

Ven felt like face-palming or smacking the redhead in front of him. Was he really this dense? Ven pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm not Roxas, I'm his twin Ventus." He put his hand back by his side and looked up at the tall man. His mouth made a O shape and his green eyes scanned over Ven's body like he was trying to determine how Ven differed from his twin. Ven cleared his throat, "Well I think you should know; stay away from Roxas."

Axel chuckled and leaned agents the sink and flashed the other man a cocky smirk, "He's the one who comes to me. I can't help it if I'm just too god damn sexy."

"Yeah keep telling yourself that." The blond said shaking his head. Axel was about to tell the other off about how he was sexy but was cut off, "Do you even know anything about Roxas?" Before Axel could answer Ven looked up at him with a sad look in his eyes and started talking again, "A couple of years ago our mother died and Roxas took it the hardest. A few months after Roxas started having weird dreams and thought they were forgotten memories from a past life or something..." As he talked Ven's voice started to drift off as he was absorbed in his own thoughts and sat down on the toilet.

Axel coughed trying to get Ven's attention, "So what does this have to do with me? I mean it's a sad story and all but why would I need to know it?"

Ven sighed, "Roxas was there when our mom died. She was murdered by our uncle." Ven took a deep breath and started talking so fast that Axel almost couldn't keep up, "Our uncle, Xemnas, shot Roxas and he went into a coma and wasn't waking up. After 3 months he finally woke up but he was different...he became more distant and started sneaking out at night and now he doesn't come home for days on end. But he also started to talk about a past life and-"

Ven's story was cut off by a loud bang on the bathroom door, "Oi Ventus! Did you fall in or something? If you don't hurry up I'm getting my pizza."

Getting up from the toilet the young blond started to leave the bathroom but turned back to Axel and said in a almost whisper, "Just forget ever meeting Roxas." He then unlocked the bathroom and left with the impatient jackass on the other side of the door. Axel waited a few minutes and made sure no one was looking and snuck out of the bathroom and back to his table.

"Took you long enough. What did you guys do in there?" Demyx said with a mouth full of food.

Axel put his elbows on the table and his head in his hands, "That was his twin brother. He told me that Roxas is insane and I need to stay away from him." Axel looked around trying to find the insane blond and his family and saw them on the other side of the restaurant with his twin and another boy who looked like the complete opposite of them; probably the boy who interrupted his and Ven's conversation.

"I still prefer him over Larxene." Demyx mumbled around a slice of pizza before finishing it in two bites.

Before Demyx could grab the last piece Axel grabbed it and stood up, "I'm going home." The redhead then did the dumbest thing ever; left Demyx alone in the restaurant with a unsuspecting Roxas.

x~X~x~X~x

Axel's mind couldn't stay on one thought as he walked down the empty street. He thought about his stalker who had now become forbidden fruit to his bitchy girlfriend to his best friend leaving. The sun had gone down while he was with Demyx and the moon had yet to come out so his only source of light was the scarce lamp post. He decided to speed up from the ominous feeling the lack of light and noise.

To busy looking out for any murders, rapist, or ogres Axel wasn't looking where he was walking and almost gave himself a heart attack when a squeak broke the surrounding silence. Looking down at his feet Axel realized his 'attacker' was nothing but a harmless rubber duck. Axel picked it up to examine it closer, it was yellow with bright blue eyes painted on it, fit perfectly in his hand and when he squeezed it it made a high pitched noise.

Grinning at his find Axel held the duck up in the air and said, "I shall call you Señor Squeakorz and you shall be my new bath buddy!" He placed the duck in his coat pocket and continued his way home.
