Hiroki cried out as he saw the red droplets fall to the floor. Edward growled, the bullet had not hit where he wanted it to hit. Just as he was getting ready to fire another bullet, the door to the room flew open and Edward felt his breath being taken away from him.
A red stain grew on Edward's white dress down shirt and the man looked at the person who shooted him. There on the doorway was Misaki Takahashi, whom he loved so much. Misaki had shot him? Sweet sweet Misaki?
Edward, for the first time in years, felt a tear fall from his face. As Edward fell, Edwin rushed forward to catch his brother. Unfair, life was so unfair. It has always been like that.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
A 4 year old Edward ran to hover over his brother. Edwin let out tears as he felt his father hit his brother on top of him. The whip came in contact with Edward's back over and over again, none stop.
When Father's hand got tired, that was when they made their escape to their safety. Edwin helped his limping brother up the stairs to the attic as their drunk father slept in the living room. Their mother was at god knows where.
The slut of an actress was probably sleeping with some other man, Edward hissed as the wet cotton dabbed his blood away. Edwin tried to be as gentle as possible, but it still stinged. However, Edward still didn't let a tear fall, he needed to be strong for Edwin. He flinched as he felt the cool ointment being applied to his broken skin.
As Edwin worked on his brother's skin, Edward stared off into his mind. What had he done to deserve this life? He didn't mind if he had to get this savage treatment, but he didn't want Edwin to suffer from this.
To Edward, the world was a disgusting world from day one. His parents left him in the hospital the first day he was born, and if the nurse had not contacted them, he would've been eaten by the maggots in the ground or be stolen by some robber.
But to Edward, the nurse was his greatest enemy, if that cursed woman didn't find him and return him to his parents, then he wouldn't have to live in this hellhole. Edward's world was starting to get better when Edwin was born,
"Nii-chan, I'm sorry, it was my fault, if I didn't spill the beer he wouldn't have gotten angr-," before the 3 year old boy could finish, Edward covered his mouth.
"No, don't be sorry. We will get out of this disgusting world one day, and we'll be safe together." Edward said as he put on his best smile. Edwin looked at his brother with his hope filled eyes.
"Really?" Edwin asked happily. He smiled gleefully as Edward nodded. Edwin smiled and wrapped his arms around Edward's neck, being careful to not touch the other one's scars.
Edward smiled, yes, if Edwin was happy, then he was. Edwin was all he needed. If Edwin was smiling, then he would be to. And to be honest, he would've endured that life, until he saw the sight that changed his life around.
It was that day his father ordered for him to go to the store at 3:00 am, he was met with the sight of man killing another man. Edward was fascinated by the red droplets that scattered onto the concrete ground, and the high pitched screaming that erupted from the victim. Edward was overcome by excitement and when he went home, he did the unthinkable.
When he went home to see Edwin in the corner of the cold kitchen, his anger was fueled. He reached for the kitchen knife in the cabinet and slowly walked up the marble stairs of the house. He walked into his father's room, with Edwin trailing behind him like a tail.
And when Edward stabbed the silver blade into his father's chest, with a single groan and then screams of pain erupting from the sinful mouth, Edward was enchanted. Edwin could only stare in horror.
"Nii-chan! What have you done!" Edwin screamed. Edward snapped out of his murderous thoughts about killing his mother and looked at his crying brother. Edward gasped as he saw the large tears run down his brother's eyes.
Edward quickly hugged his brother and whispered soothing words to him.
"No, don't cry Edwin. It's okay, we'll be happy now." Edward said. Edwin sobbed for a few more seconds and then was convinced. Edward and Edwin walked out to the balcony and stared at the moonlight.
While Edward saw a peaceful life in front of them with the newfound interest of murder and assassination, Edwin saw pain. Even though he was only a young boy, he knew that what Edward was doing was wrong, but he made no move to stop him, after all he looked happy doing it. Edwin sneaked a glance at his brother, the boy who never cried, was now crying for the first time since Edwin was born.
Edwin then felt tears come down his cheeks too, but they weren't tears of pain, they were tears of happiness.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Edwin rushed over to catch his brother, he knew that this would happen one day. Tears fell as he felt blood rush into his hands. Edward looked at his brother, the only joy that God ever gave him.
Reaching a hand to Edwin's face, Edward pull his brother's face down. With a kiss that would seal their eternal life, Edward made his last breath. Edwin took a few seconds to process this and when he did he went bonkers.
Taking the gun in his hands, he got ready to shot. However, he didn't shoot anyone, he shot himself. Hiroki widened his eyes through the glass that separated the two rooms. However, he was more surprised when Nowaki screamed out in pain. When he glanced over, Hiroki's eyes opened in horror. Nowaki's left eye was streaming blood.
Miyagi sighed and reached into his bag that was carried with him, he took out a flamethrower and melted the glass. He walked over to Hiroki and unlocked the chains and took all the toys off of him. As he gave Hiroki some clothes, he took out his phone.
As he quickly dialed 119, with a few mistakes as he was nervous, Miyagi called them and was informed that they will be here soon. Misaki quickly rushed over to Edward and Edwin and looked at the brothers, lying together on the floor.
"Guys, we are going to hold a funeral for them after Nowaki gets proper treatment." Misaki declared. Akihiko was about to open his mouth and protest, but Misaki gave him a glare. Akihiko rolled his eyes and shut his mouth.
Hiroki rushed over to Nowaki and wrapped his head into his arms.
"Oh, Nowaki….please, please be alright." Hiroki sobbed. Nowaki's right eye was perfect but his left eye was bleeding blood.
Soon, the sirens could be heard outside and Hiroki got out of the way as the people got Nowaki on the ambulance.
"Anyone going with him?" a man dressed in a lab coat asked.
"You go first, the rest of us will go later, we have to take care of Edward and Edwin." Miyagi said, Hiroki nodded and then climbed on the truck. As they drived away, Miyagi sighed. This was going to be one hell of a week.
