Hayden Niccals is a 15 year old boy with dark black hair, pale skin, and the most striking feature on his face is his mismatched eyes. One is dark red and the other is pitch black. He has to be a military officer for his brother, Dylan, in the country of Amestria. (Made up place; similar to Amestris from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) Dylan is a 16 year old boy with raven black hair, pale skin, and an eyepatch over his left eye. Everybody knows that Dylan's right eye is black but nobody knows about his left eye. So it remains a mystery.

The younger brother has everything he needs to know about his past. His parents, his birthday, etc. Although, Hayden isn't proud to know that his father is the famous bassist Murdoc Niccals. Now, most people wouldn't believe Hayden at first if he told this to them. Maybe he could be making it up. But this was the dead truth. Hayden, however, isn't proud or full of pride because of it. In fact, that's the exact reason that he's upset now.

When Hayden was born, his mother had died due to shock. When Murdoc came to see if he wanted to keep Hayden or not, he simply looked at him and shooed the nurse holding the baby away. Hayden memorized the face of his father before being given away. Being raised by a Amestrian family and then finding out his brother was raised by the military leads to where we are today.

We'll begin our story to the day Saturday. April 7, 2012. Hayden was sitting outside the main gate of the gigantic building he calls home. He was smoking on his cigarette, puffing out smoke through either his mouth or nose every once in awhile. Then, the boy felt something brush itself against his leg. He looks down and sees a small black kitten purring on his leg. Hayden smiles and picks up the kitten.

"I guess it's just you and me, eh?" Hayden chuckles. The kitten looks at the boy confused but then gives out a small meow. Hayden smiles at this and gently pets the kitten with his index finger. "I'll name you I guess," Hayden smiles, "How about Loki? You remind me of him." The kitten meows and then snuggles up to Hayden's palm. The young man smiles and then takes the small kitten into the main facility where his Lieutenants and rookies were at. He sets down the kitten onto his desk and watches as the kitten looks around in it's new surroundings.

It's cute. Just too cute. Hayden thinks to himself. Then he suddenly is reminded of his past. As a child.

(A/N: Stupid suggestion, listen to PotatOS Lament while reading the rest of this)

Hayden was sitting on the destroyed flight of stairs from the tornado that had hit the city. His foster parents were killed in the wreckage. He was all alone. The feeling of aloneness and melancholiness goes over Hayden's feelings.

The sadness...

The Fear...

What could anybody do to get rid of this feeling once and for all...? ABSOLUTELY NOBODY...
