Yeah, it's Ven. (Hilariously, he's not really attracted to Roxas at all even though he and Ven are identical twins; good friends with him, but not attracted) I'mma cheat and copy/paste an old answer.

So Josh came into Aather without much consciousness of sex -- canon puts him at a place where he hasn't really dated, he's crushed on a few girls, maybe sublimated crushes on a guy or two but that's not stated (I will forever believe that his reaction to Billy the Kid is a sublimated crush), and is still kind of figuring out how his hormones work. He was kind of aware that people are having sex around him, but not really out looking consciously.

(Side note: Josh is mostly bicurious, even though he's very happily in a relationship with a guy. He wasn't really aware of it, and he kind of...noticed girls more consciously than he noticed guys, though none of the girls he met really pinged him. He noticed guys sexually but didn't realize it was sexual.)

So then he met Ven, and they were sort of...casual friends for a while, growing quietly closer until one day they just clicked and got really close. I think it was around the time Ven actually up and asked him for a hug, and he was like "okay, if it'll make you feel better". They started hanging out more and more, and they kind of simultaneously developed huge, subconscious crushes on each other. (Josh didn't realize it at all, but he was totally acting like someone with a repressed crush.)

Ven, being a little better with the self-analysis than Josh, figured it out first, and Josh was still cheerfully oblivious despite kind of showing off for him at times and doing stuff like snuggling shirtless by the lake. ...okay, yeah, Josh is kind of dumb sometimes. But eventually Ven got to the point where he admitted it, and Josh basically was like "..wait, what? He likes me like that? ...do I like HIM like that? .......wow, I kind of do." So he admitted it, and the rest is really adorable history.

If Sakura could ask her pre-Aather self one single question about her life (that wasn't, like, "TELL ME EVERYTHING" or something), what would it be?
