My Sun, My moon, My soul

chapter 4

'~'~'Sora's POV'~'~'

Sora woke up to smelling something good. After he and Roxas talked, he'd fallen back asleep. He felt tired and dizzy. He knew Cloud had to be home if it smelled good. Slowly, he got up, trying not to get dizzy as he walked. Roxas was sitting on the couch watching TV. His brother looked up at him.

"Hey, are you feeling okay?" Roxas asked, looking concerned.

Sora smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine." He looked sheepishly at his brother. "I guess I blew our chances of having a normal life huh?"

His brother shook his head. "No, you didn't. I'm to blame. I should've known something like this would happen. If I hadn't agreed to going to school, we wouldn't have had to worry about spies."

"No, it's not your fault Roxas. It's my fault that I wanted to go to a real school even though I'm dead shy and quiet." Sora didn't want Roxas to feel guilty, but he knew his brother felt guilty over everything that happened. Roxas had believed he was the older brother even though Sora was older than him by twenty minutes. Sora knew he should be responsible, but they had broken him over and over again.

He saw Roxas staring at the TV with a blank stare. "What's wrong Roxas?"

Roxas blinked, coming out of his thoughts. "Axel, came back..."

"For what?" Sora wondered.

"His brothers were fighting so he walked away while he had the chance, from what he told me. We just talked." Roxas stirred a little. Sora knew something wasn't right.

"What did you tell him?"

Roxas didn't even look at Sora. "A little bit about us. I didn't tell about our childhood, but just about us living in Traverse Town and us making new friends here."

Sora let out a sigh of relief. "Well, I guess that's harmless." Then he grinned evilly. "You like him don't you?"

Roxas blushed. "No! He doesn't listen, he's stubborn, and..."

"Cute!" Sora chimed in.

"Yes!" Roxas realized what he agreed to, then glared at Sora. "You punk!"

Sora laughed. "Ha! You said it!" He ran as his brother started chasing him. Cloud watched them, Sora hid behind him. "Cloud! Tell Roxas to stop!"

Cloud shook his head. "Oh no, I'm not getting into this one. You two settle this on your own."

Sora ran to the living room to escape but Roxas managed to tackle him from behind.

'~'~'Cloud's POV'~'~'

He watched the two boys laughing in the living room. He was glad he rescued them. Like Sora and Roxas, he had been experimented on, but he was a different experiment, his eyes were blue like the twins, but his eyes held a different shine. They used mako energy on him in the experiments. When he had escaped, he saw the twins in a room. Their eyes pleading him to take them too. Cloud knew with three people it would be harder to escape, but their haunting eyes convinced him to take them.

He'd changed his name from Sky Lockheart to Cloud Strife. His old self was dead, so he decided to start off new and fresh. He adopted the twins and they had taken his last name as their own. None of them knew if they should have called him a dad or a brother. Cloud honestly didn't care what they considered him, as long they were safe from them. He felt helpless though. They had kept Cloud in a tank ninety percent of the time, but he knew the twins had it rougher than him. Sora couldn't tell the difference between the past and present. Roxas had nightmares and became somewhat of an insomniac. He didn't know exactly what to do to make them forget the past. Four years since they escaped and none of them could forget.
