Writing twins?

Hi! I'm currently working on a story where the main characters are twins, so I wanted to know if anyone had any tips on what to do and what to avoid.

(The characters are 10 years old at the part of the story I'm currently writing but they will get older, so if that affects anything there's that)

Edit: Context. They are fraternal twins, a boy and a girl. The story is a fantasy story. In it, they go through a lot of upheaval with their only constant basically being the other one, so they're pretty clingy to each other at first. One of them begins to make her own friends and spends less time with her brother, which upsets him, but he doesn't tell her that, and instead just stews for like several months while insisting everything is fine. She gives him space because she assumes that's what he wants (she can tell she's done something to upset him) but this, y'know, has the opposite of the intended effect.

They also both think the other is dead from the ages of like 26 to 39.
