Author's Notes:
Hello everyone, as this is my first story, and also my first time here, I would like to apologise for any mistakes be it grammar or spelling that we have made in this original story of mine. Fair warning for the swear words that my OC will use, and also, I don't own Kekkai Sensen. If I do... well, just let it be known that it's a good thing I don't own it.
Please don't forget to R&R!
Ever since he's born, Horacio Watch has always known that he's different from the rest of the normal children in his age. He's smarter, kinder, stronger, and certainly much more mature than his age tells him he should be—he's the apple of his parent's eyes, that's who he is.
He's the child born of the accident out of the two young adults that he used to call his parents. Considering how young they are and how they are, it's a miracle that Horacio could even be born the way he is now, the smart and mature child he is, loved by his parents who's still much too young and inexperienced to be proper adults.
When his younger brother is born, his parents are slightly disappointed at how they didn't get a girl. It didn't matter though—they still loved him all the same. With the difference of 10 years, Horacio and Leonardo became siblings. Despite of the initial disappointment upon receiving a son, it was swept under the rug immediately as Horacio soon grew to love and care for him with all of his being. From a young age, where their parents would constantly favour their work instead of their second son, Horacio would always be there for his younger brother, tending his needs and wants more than their parents ever did.
It is only through perhaps what Horacio could only say as endless prayers and a stroke of luck that their wish to obtain a daughter is fulfilled 3 years later. In the middle of the day where Horacio and young Leonardo are reading a book, news came to them about a healthy baby girl named Michella.
It's almost as if a miracle struck down to them upon her birth.
Upon her birth, their parents started to take up more of the responsibility to care for Leonardo from Horacio. While in the beginning it quite unnerved him—cause why would they start now and not years ago when he's born?—Horacio relented and decided to take it as water under the bridge. If his beloved younger sister marks the arrival of a good change in their family, then why should he think twice of it?
All of them loved her. He's no longer the apple of his parent's eyes, and Leonardo is not ignored by them so much now, and in fact—they were all so loved and cared for, to the point that, it made him convinced that they are all the apple of his parent's eyes.
Not that he minded. His beloved younger siblings are too, the apple of his eyes, after all.
The picture of a happy family of the Watch family ended the moment Michella got herself into an accident that left her disabled.
The accident striked to her spine—rendering her unable to walk, leaving her to live the rest of her life in the wheelchair. Horacio was at University that time, and he wasn't there for his family by the time the accident has occurred. He's too late to stop the aftermath, for the damage has been done.
The picture of a happy family for the Watch family could no longer be formed now that the damage has gone too far and too deep for Horacio to mend.
The expensive medical bills for Michella's hospital visits are leaving a great burden into them. Stressed and mentally drained, they started to lash and took their stress and anger out onto Leonardo, who, for the lack of better understanding that he wasn't at fault, took it all in, and simply accepted it. Despite of how much Michella protested and Leonardo stood firm—everyone has a limit to everything.
And the limit just timed itself to arrive on the moment that Horacio graduated and has become a legal adult. By the time he has returned back home, Leo is far too damaged, Michella is too quiet and subdued, and his parents—
—what can he say, other than the fact that they are no longer worthy of being called his parents?—
—if they really needed the funds badly, then why didn't they TOLD him and let him help them?—
—Why did nobody said anything and simply left him in the DARK?—
With anger reining over him, he lashed out against his parents.
It wasn't just fair, for him to be spared from all the trouble that his family endured just because everyone loved and cared from him the most. He maybe the apple of his parent's eyes as he is the oldest and therefore the one who has that one spot in their parents heart, and he indeed is the one who played and took care of Leonardo and Michella more often than their parents but—
—It wasn't fair.
It wasn't just fair, that he should be left in the dark when it should've been something that he needs to know. It's something connected deeply to his family, for goodness sake. Why didn't anybody told him anything? Why didn't they say anything? He could've helped, he's been working while he's been studying as well.
He has plans for his family. He has funds that he has gained from his job during his studies overseas. He planned on getting something good and expensive for each and everyone of his beloved family.
—But now that this happened, his plans has all crumbled to ash.
Let it be known, that Horacio Watch can be resourceful, insightful, and analytically sharp when he wants to be.
A look to his siblings and his parents told him everything he needed to do—and that's exactly what he did. His far, far too young parents are now older, but they were not wiser with the passage of time. Instead of growing to love one another, they were growing to hate one another, and it's visible to Horacio's eyes that the happy family that he has always dreamed off could no longer be as it once is ever again.
So he takes his younger siblings with him, packed all their stuffs into their own suitcases, left a letter saying that he will take care of them so they can do whatever they needed before they can come back for them, and just left.
Leonardo Watch is only 13 and Michella is only 12 when Horacio took them away from their parents and began to live together in another city, in another country, in hopes that this new beginning could be better for them and his parents as they both needed some time and space from one another.
By that time, Horacio is already 23 years old. He's already a legal adult, and fully capable of taking care of his two much adorable younger siblings.
And that's exactly what he did, up until Leonardo gets what he thinks to be the God's eyes and Michella becomes blind. He still cared for them, like the right and loving elder brother he is.
He loves them, and there is nothing that could convince him that they were his most precious treasures in this whole wide world.
And his parents?
Let it just be known that by now, his parents are no longer worthy to ever be called as their parents ever again.
By the time Horacio Watch turns 25, he became a blood breed, and also what his 'Master' calls to be a Reincarnate.
He's a special case, they say, and in order to further jog his memory, they say, this must be done.
And by this, they meant turning him into a blood breed, much to his annoyance.
Because really, what the hell? Who's idea was this to think that to make him, Leonardo Watch's elder brother, the protagonist's elder brother, the race and powers of his enemy? Who? Who thinks that it's a great idea to make him, The Protagonist's Elder Brother, a Vampire, one of the antagonist of the series?
In another world before he is who he is now, Horacio would've jumped at the chance of becoming and mingling one of them, preferably becoming a part of Libra. Not the enemy! Who in the world thought that his entire life is a good definition for a good, cheesy plot twist?
"Why?" Horacio whined. "Just, why Master? Why did you think that it's a good idea to do this? Whyyyy?"
His Master only gave him a dead look. "It's nobody but your fault. Why did your memories not resurface the moment you're born? You're born with a job to ensure that he lives the happy life he is, but no. You just had to mess it up even further."
"It's not my fault that I had a different approach of making sure that Leo's happy with Michella and his life instead of the crappy and lack of detail the plot gives of his family!" Horacio spats. "Come on, Master. Not even you knows about his past, don't you? What makes you think I did? Trust me. The writer of Kekkai Sensen doesn't want us to focus on him too much—that's why he purposefully makes it all vague and shit."
"Don't lump me with you." Master sniffed disdainfully. "That's not my mission—that's yours to deal with. Now that your mission has returned, it would suit you best to decide on the course of future that you're going to take now. What will you do?"
"Can't I just follow the plot?"
"Impossible. You mess shit up, you clean shit up."
"You're not being helpful at all right now, Master."
The dead eye look from his master is all that Horacio needs before he lets out another distressed whine, much to the Vampire's exasperation. Horacio however, ignored him in favor of letting his distress be known, loudly.
Because really, again, who thought that it's a good idea to make him of all people the antagonist?
By the time Horacio spends a full year as a blood breed for a full 3 years, Leo and Michella meets Riga El Menuhyut, and so the destined fate is finally exchanged finally met. By the time the both of them returned home, Michella is already blind and Leonardo is crying, in guilt, regret, and despair.
If Horacio isn't the Reincarnate he is, perhaps things would've ended in a much more worse situation that it is now. If he didn't became a Blood Breed, if he didn't regain his memories, if he didn't became the person who he is now—he could already envision the second destruction to the family that he has grown to care and love for his entire life.
—but with as he is now, he only smiled sadly, comforted the two of them, hugged the two of them close to him, and promised the both of them safety and assurances that neither of them will ever leave each other behind.
He may be a Blood Breed, but that doesn't mean that he can't protect them with what he has now.
Horacio Watch is resourceful, insightful, and analytically sharp when he wants to be. And now that he decided to protect the two of the beloved siblings that he has grown to care for more than himself, there's just nothing in the world that could ever stop him from ever loving and protecting the two of them.
Even if Leonardo and Michella will one day stand in front of him as his enemy—
—As long as they are determined, as long as they are safe, as long as they are happy—
—He's more than willing to let them kill or seal him away.
After all, that's what older brothers are for, right? They're there to protect their younger, much more innocent and loved siblings.
