"Alfred" the boy called in a soft yet, some what harsh edge to it. Alfred turned around looking at the frowning boy with the beautiful soft emerald green eyes " Arthur " Alfred said in a content sigh.

Alfred shot up on his bed and groaned "why the hell am I remembering that now". Alfred got up out of bed as he thought about how many years it's been since he last saw Arthur. "it's been 11 years since I last saw him" he sighed.

Arthur Kirkland was Alfred. childhood friend, Arthur was 12 while Alfred was 7 when they last saw each other. Even with that age gap, they were still very good friends, until Arthur disappeared with no notice. From that day Alfred started turning colder his eyes turned from happy soft blue eyes to hard, cold and emotionless eyes portraying hatred and repulsion.

Alfred now18, living alone in an old apartment somewhere on Matthew street glanced at his clock, which read 8:55am,"fuck I'm late" he yelled as he rushed getting ready and ran out the door to his beat up Chevy. He got in and started driving "I'm going to be fucking late for first day of work shit!" he muttered to himself. Alfred still dressed in his casual clothes which consisted of faded jeans and a brown beat up bomber jacket, a present from Arthur on his 7th birthday. Alfred remembered the day he got the jacket, "big brother this jackets too big for me to wear" and the answer Arthur gave him was "oh you'll grow into it soon ".

Alfred finally reached his work; he is now working as a business man at a company called APH. Since at his last job there were some issues with people. At APH he met his new boss Ivan Bragingski a tall brawny man with blank grey eyes with a soft smiling face but a dangerous edge to it.

He was told to work at department E where he met Ludwig Beildschmedt his new co worker. -this guys really buff wonder if he works out hmm wait what am I thinking about I wonder what I should say to him, well anyway got to act nice- "ummm so your name is Ludwig beildschmedt"? Alfred Exclaimed "yes it is but you can just call me Ludwig it's probably easier to say" he said politely.

Work went by slowly but finally ended at 11:30pm. Just as Alfred was about to leave he saw the big brawny figured man Ludwig "yes is there something you need"? Alfred said in a slightly irritated tone "I was wondering if you wanted to go out drinking with me" said Ludwig. -Oh great what the fuck am I going to do now, do I decline?-, thought Alfred but he decided to say yes to keep a good reputation. "Sure why not we'll go with my car" Alfred said faking a smile. No it's okay we can go with my car I am older you know" Ludwig chuckled lowly and mumbled something indefinable from Alfred's distance. *What the fuck*Alfred thought but shrugged nonchalantly and went along with Ludwig.

When they reached the bar they went inside and Alfred wondered why did they come to such a shady looking bar when they passed other bars on the way here "why did we come here when we could've gone to the bars closer to the workplace"? Alfred asked sceptically, Ludwig just returned Alfred's question with a shrug and said " c'mon I'll buy you a drink let's go" without thinking Alfred tailed Ludwig in the crowded bar to the beat up leather seats. After a few drinks Alfred started to lose consciousness and finally everything went pitch black.

Alfred still half unconscious felt his feet roughly sliding on hard concrete, Alfred was finally fully conscious realized the situation he was in, he was being dragged by none others than his overly friendly co worker Ludwig into an alley far from the bar they were in.

Alfred started to try and squirm out of Ludwig's arms. Ludwig noticed and pinned Alfred against a wall. "what do you think you're trying to do" spit Alfred. "You'll sell for a good amount" Ludwig said smiling sickly. "For what "Alfred hissed." prostitution of course "Ludwig laughed." that's not fucking funny let me go" Alfred screamed and kicked at Ludwig finally the fear in Alfred's voice showing. Ludwig's persona quickly changed from a kind gentleman's to a vulgar man's. At that moment Alfred realized the Ludwig he was with at work was just a façade and this was the real him.

Ludwig slapped Alfred hard across his face enough to leave a red mark in the shape of his hand, and hissed at him to shut up. Just when Alfred was about to give up he heard a voice from the end of the alley.
