Always Be Yourself
Today would be considered to be like any other for Ventus and his makeshift family. It'd been a year since he and his twin sister, Roxanne, were adopted by their friend Sora's mother. Their own mother, who raised them alone, had passed suddenly. They were lucky really, to have avoided being separated. No matter what, they always would have each other.
Recently though, Ventus began to notice something different about Roxanne. The change happened subtly, over the course of the last year. She asked to be called "Rox" now, and kept begging to have her hair short, even though Mom would have none of it. She kept asking to borrow Ven's clothes, which didn't bother him really. Whatever was comfortable for Rox.
But now, they were freshmen, and in high school, people question. They stare at her, make fun of her clothes, her interests...everything. Ven tried to help but he always felt that there was something he wasn't being told. Something that was going unexplained. So, he decided, today was the day. He had to ask his twin what was going on, for better or for worse.
So, after dinner one fateful fall evening, he pulled his twin aside, to their tiny shared bedroom. Ven hadn't really thought it through, what would he say? But he tried his best anyway. "What's going on with you?"
