Heya, next chapter of Threats! I know It's an early update, but I just had to get this one out!
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER WILL BE SO INSANELY EPIC THAT YOU WILL JIZZ IN YOUR PANTS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Soo, last chapter Roxas was woken up on the beach by Sora and his gang. In an attempt to make Riku and Kairi like him he told Sora that he could manage by himself. In the dorm building, he had forgotten his room key and was left sitting outside. Then an angel (not really) threw the key at Roxas. Roxas found Axel's cell phone and other thing, such as crumpled letters and drawings. Roxas went to the cell phone store and sells Axel's cell phone, and buys one for himself, of course. There he meets Tifa (who I was originally going to have be Aerith), a woman who treats him like family. He calls up his dad and tells him about the woman, hoping to two could meet and hit it off. Then his dad tells him that Tifa is his mom. AND THAT'S WHERE THE CHAPTER ENDED!
This chapter will be so fun to write, and I hope it's fun to read! I'd like to start off by saying this is the chapter where everything will be revealed. You'll know why Ven and Roxas look alike, what Axel's secret is, and you'll have two punishments in this chapter! Yeah, that's so important (not). :L
"What are you saying?" I asked my Dad. My dad laughed.
"I thought you were smart enough to figure it out," He replied. I took a deep breath in. I had always known that my Mom had left us, but I had always assumed she had moved somewhere far away, and that I would never meet her again. I didn't even think that she was a nice person for leaving.
"Tifa's my Mom?" I say, still unsure of the truth. I can picture my Dad trying to take the safe route.
"Yeah, if I haven't made it obvious enough. There's another part to it," He said. They either have another kid or I'm adopted. It's either or.
"What do you mean?" I ask. My Dad takes a deep breath.
"You were in a set," He said. A set?
"You mean, like twins or something?" I ask.
"Yeah, you had a twin brother. You looked just the same." My thoughts go to Ven right away.
"Ventus?" I ask without realizing it. Could Ven be my brother? Could we actually be related at all?
"Yeah, how did you know?" My Dad says. I laugh bitterly. To think I'm friends with my long lost twin brother, and met my mother all within two days. That really is something.
"He goes to my college. He's my friend. Why didn't you tell me?" I ask him. Why wouldn't he tell me that I have a twin? Why? I have a right to know.
"After Tifa had you, she started talking to an old boyfriend of hers. I cam home one night and saw them. We got a divorce and she took Ven with her to Destiny Islands. I didn't want to create bad blood," He tells me. I nod, still disbelieving.
"Well, we're friends, and we'll keep being friends, until the end of time that is. And now that I know he's my twin, we'll be closer than before," I say with determination. I will become best friends with my twins, even if that means no secrets. My Dad laughs.
"That's good to hear. Hey, I gotta go, I'll talk to you tomorrow," He says. I nod even though he can't see me.
"Bye Dad. Love you," I say into the phone.
"Love you too. Bye." He hung up the phone. I slid my new phone into my pocket and lay back on my bed. I rubbed my eyes. Today was a long day, and I learned too many new things. I had no idea what to do with the rest of my day. I settled for calling Ventus and setting up a time to meet up and talk about what happened.
The knob on the door turns and I look to the door. Axel was nothing to see, so I turn back to the ceiling as soon as the door begins to open. I hear him and someone else walk in, and he snorts, probably from seeing my on my bed. I hear someone running, and I know that I should be worried but I'm not.
Air rushed out of my lungs and I heaved in. Demyx had run and jumped onto me. He laid on his back and smiled.
"HEY! It's Twinkle-Toes!" He says in an overly cheery voice. Demyx had always been the nicer of the duo of Axel and Demyx, from what I've seen anyway. Axel walks over and pushed Demyx off and leans down to look me in the eyes.
"Get out of here Twinkle-Toes. Come back in an hour," He says. I nod and push him out of the way and slide off of the bed. I walk to the door and slip on my shoes. When I'm almost completely out the door, Axel talks.
"How'd you like your night outside?" He asks me. I turn back and look at him. I put on a large smile.
"I had a nice sleep down by the beach. Thanks for asking," I say. I close the door and walk around aimlessly, trying to find something to do. I figured that the first thing I should do is call Ven. I take my cell out of my pocket and dial his number. He picks up on the third ring.
"Hello?" He asks.
"Hey Ven, it's Roxas."
"Hey! What's up?" He asks in probably the cheeriest voice imaginable.
"I have to tell you something important. Is there any time we can meet up?"
"Yeah, I can meet you at the Dorm Lounge in about ten minutes," He responds. His voice lost every cheery aspect.
"Okay, I'll be there. See you," I say before hanging up. I slide the phone back into my pocket and make my way to the Dorm Lounge. The halls are empty, and so is the Dorm Lounge. I take a seat at one of the couches and wait for Ven. I hang my head in my hands, truly in a rut. I had no idea how I would tell Ven of our being twins. I hear someone run into the Dorm Lounge. There's no doubt in my mind that the person is Ven. He walks to the couch and sits down next to me.
"What did you want to talk about?" He asks me. I look at him and I see that he's genuinely concerned. I decide that going right for the kill would be the best thing to do.
"Ven, I'm your brother," I say simply. Ven's eyes widen.
"What? We can't be!" He yells. I nod at him.
"My Dad told me. I met your mom at the Cell Phone Store, and she treated me like family," I say to him. Ven shakes his head.
"We can't be! We just can't!" He looks out the window and shakes his head, his voice trailing off. I rub my head, starting to feel the same denial as Ven.
"It explains how we look alike," I say, taking a slightly different approach. Ven looked back at me, and gave me a look over.
"I suppose. But my Mom told me that my father died! She never said anything about a brother though!" He said, obviously getting confused. I know this wasn't a good time to laugh, but I did. The thought of my Dad being dead and my not knowing was funny, I have to admit that much.
"My Dad is definitely not dead," I say. Ven doesn't answer for a while, and he looks away from me.
"Did you know?" He asks me. I shake my head.
"I found out today. I told my Dad about your Mom, and he told me the truth." Ven turns his head to me again. He had a dazed look to him.
"What is the truth?" He asks me. I didn't know whether I should tell him that his mother cheated or not, but I figure he deserves the whole truth, right?
"Your Mom began talking to an old boyfriend after she had us. My Dad came home one night and saw them having sex. They got a divorce and your Mom got to keep you. My Dad had told me that my Mom left us, but he never said anything about a twin," I say. Ven takes a deep breath and sighs. He rubs his hair and leans back in the couch.
"She's still with him," He says. I look at him, confused.
"With who?" I ask.
"Leon. He's the guy that made our parents get a divorce," He says to me. I know I shouldn't but I feel a special hatred for Leon. If it weren't for him I would still have a whole and happy family.
"I hate him already," I say. Ven laughs.
"He's nice enough," He says back to me. I shrug.
"I still don't like him," I say. Ven smiles.
"What's your Dad like?" Ven asks.
"He's quiet, and he looks a lot like us, though he styles his hair differently. He's nice, and funny. He likes to get things done quickly."
We exchanged stories about our childhood, and our parents. Finally, Ven told me about the time he had peed in his pants last year when Riku had scared him. He asked me if there was a secret that I wanted to share. It's no or never. I can either tell him that I'm gay right now, or never tell him. I prefer the former.
"Yeah, there is something I want to tell you. I'm gay. I'm not one of those scarf wearing gays, I'm one of those gays who act like any other guy, but like other men and not girls," I say sourly. I am a proud person, and I don't think Ven would be too proud to know that his brother is gay. I know I wouldn't.
"You are?" He asked. I could see how he was surprised; his eyebrows had arched.
"Yeah, that's the reason I had moved here. I was bullied out of Twilight Town."
"What a bunch of assholes," He said simply. I laughed. I had to admit, after so many people hating me for my sexuality, it was different to have someone who was still nice to me even when they knew. It felt nice.
"Yeah, they were. The worst part is that all of the friends I had before I told them ditched me for all of the haters," I said to him. Ven snorted.
"Well, I say fuck them! It's their loss! You're my brother and my friend, and I'm damn proud to be!" He said. I smiled, I had at least one form of support now, and it was amazing.
"Have you ever heard of the 'Gay Virus' article?" I ask. Ven shakes his head and says, "No, what's that?"
"Well, Axel Flynn lived in Twilight Town, and we used to be friends. He knew who I was gay, and we told each other a lot of things. Well, he was older and he left for college. He decided to write everything I had ever told him in an article, he posted it online. Everyone in my school read it, and the bullying only got worse. It's what made me come to Destiny Islands, I just couldn't stay there anymore," I finish my story. Ven seems less that happy.
"Axel's a douche, that's all there is to it. You know what you should do? You should tell his deepest darkest secret. That'll mess him up," Ven declared. That was exactly what I was going to do.
"Well, his darkest secret is-"I was cut off by the sound of Axel's cry. I looked around and saw Axel run over to where I was sitting. He looked erratic. Axel slapped my hair and kicked my leg.
"You swore you wouldn't tell you little shit!" He shouted at me. I smirked and crossed my arms, standing up.
"Shut up you ass hat! I have the right to tell since you told all of my secrets and fucked up my life even more than it already was! I'm going to tell your secret whether you like it or not!" Axel's lip curled and twitched, his eyes had this angry fire about them.
"You won't tell you faggot! Why don't you go check out your clothes? I think you'll find a reason to not tell," I immediately ran down the hall, fearing the worst. I heard footsteps echoing mine. I reached my room within seconds and I opened the door rushing in. The person came in after me.
I walked over to my closet and threw the door open. I nearly had a breakdown. All of my clothes had been written on in marker, or cut up. I took down my favorite shirt- or what's left of it. Axel had written the word 'FAG' over the front and he cut the sleeves off. I slumped to the ground and I screamed as loudly as I could. The person placed an arm on my shoulder; I looked up to see Ven glaring at the wall. He looked back at me, and gave me a smile, trying to apologize for Axel's dick personality.
"I know what you can do," He says.
"What's that?" I ask him. Ven smiles deviously.
"Let's take all of his clothes and dye them pink. That will show him not to mess with an angry homo," He said. I laughed. Ven and I thought alike. I stood up and threw my shirt back into the closet and stomped on it. I wasn't going to sit here and cry like a baby because Axel did something, I'm going to take action. I'm going to take action with my brother.
I grabbed my duffle bag and went Axel's bed. All of his clothes were still there. I emptied out my duffle bag and hid the contents in a small compartment I had found in the wall. I zipped the bag.
"Can you get those two trash cans?" I asked Ven. He obliged and grabbed both of them. I put the duffle bag over my shoulder and walked out of the dorm, locking the door behind me.
Later, I was in a small park with Ven. I poured water into the trash cans and two other large buckets, and I followed that with pink dye. When the dye was ready I unzipped the duffle bag and took out a handful of clothes. I smiled at Ven, who was also scooping out clothes.
"You ready bro?" I asked him. He nodded and smiled. Ven pulled on gloves, but I left my hands bare. I wanted the dye to be like blood, I wanted to pretend it was Axel's blood, because I'm killing him right now. After about ten minutes of drying, Ven spoke up.
"Roxas, what was Axel's secret anyway?" He asked. I smile, this is the single best moment of my life.
"Do you promise to tell everyone you meet?" I ask him. Ven nods and takes out the underwear he had been dying. They were completely pink.
"I promise. Now tell me!" He says. I smile even wider. I had been waiting for this moment to come for much too long.
"Axel is gay."
DUN DUN DUN! Yes, Axel IS gay! I had always planned on him being gay, I didn't take suggestions, I had my own idea. I hope you honestly enjoyed that chapter! So
I want to hear you reactions from that. And now, for the best guess at what Axel is:
A PORN STAR! It hurt because I laughed so hard. You know who you are ;) And you're now my favorite person for guessing that, it was awesome.
What do you think of the relationship between Ven and Rox? How about Axel and Roxas? Do you like reading their punishments? Do you like them so far?
Comment? Flame? Constructive Crit.? Tell me, I'd like to hear about it! And I'm sorry the chapter had such poor quality, I'm dead tired.
