Disclaimer in the first chapter.

Al looks at his brother in confusion. "Brother, what do you mean?"

Ed looks at Al. At that, he wasn't able to tell Alphonse anything. He shouldn't make him worry over things like this. He's the oldest and its his responsibility that he figure things out like the old lady for instance.

There was something off about her and he didn't like it. He wouldn't admit it out loud but she scared him a little and he couldn't let Al get in the situation if anything were to occur. And besides, this is his first day here. He shouldn't jump into conclusions so quickly.

He'll just keep a eye on her for the time being.

Ed ruffles the top of his head and gives him a comforting smile. "Its nothing Al. I promise, everything is going to be okay."

Al glares at Edward. "You know you can tell me anything right?" he reminds him. "You don't have to hide anything from me."

Ed smirks. "No, I can't can I?" he tucks his hands into his pocket. "Well, just look out for the old lady okay? I could be wrong but something about her is off and I don't want you to be alone with her."

"Your making her seem as if she's a murder big brother." Al says.

Ed shrugs. "Anyways," Alphonse says changing the subject. "What was it that you originally came here for?"

Ed snaps his fingers. "Oh yeah. I wanted to see if you want to hang out at the library with me." he tells him.

"They have a library?" Al asks in amazement.

"How should I know? But the old man is bound to have one since he's rich and all." Ed and Al walk to the door and exit the room. "I wouldn't be surprised if they did have one." Al closes the door and they walk down the empty hallway.

"Why don't we ask Dad or Tamaki? Maybe they could help us." Al suggests.

Ed scoffs. "Yeah, like I'm going to ask the bastard and prince for help. I say we find the place ourselves. Besides, we are staying here." 'For the time being.' Ed thought to himself.

"I guess your right but shouldn't we ask just in case?" Al asks. "This place is big and I don't want to risk getting lost just because your too stubborn to ask for help."

"Al, come on!" Ed says out loud placing his arm around Al's shoulders. "This is your big brother we're talking about. I'll find the library in no time!"

Al sighs out. "Alright but don't say I wasn't wrong if you get us lost "

Tamaki sighs in sweet bliss once he drowns himself in a tub of cold water. He sinks lower to the sink until the water reaches below his nose. Tamaki closes his eyes and allows himself to relax before he had to go to dinner with his father and their new guests; Edward and Alphonse.

It was still bizarre for the young teen that he's a older brother to two boys which he happens to have forgotten. He felt bad that he doesn't remember them as he should but he reminded himself that the last time he properly saw them was when they were still toddlers.

He was four so he should have some kind of memories of Edward and Alphonse right?

Tamaki sighs. 'All this thinking is giving me a headache. *sigh* There's still a lot of things I want to know like why dad never told me about them. Was he forced not to? Did he decide not to? What happened fourteen years ago?'

Tamaki was eventually done with his shower and while he dries his hair, he begins to get dressed. While he changes into a casual shirt, he hears a knock.

"Yes?" he shouts.

"Master Tamaki, dinner will be ready in an hour." a maid informs him. "Alright, thank you for telling me." once the maid was gone, Tamaki had already finished clothing himself.

He checks the time from his phone. He still had a another hour or so until dinner so to kill time, he decided to talk to Ed and Al. Despite the oddness that has gone between the three, that still didn't mean Tamaki wanted to know his brothers.

Besides, he always did want to be a big brother and now that he officially is one, this will give him the chance to know them and eventually be acquainted with each other.

Tamaki nods in approval to his plan and walks out of his room to go to Ed's and Al's room.

On his way to Ed's room first, Tamaki could hear faint arguing coming from down the hall. He raises an eyebrow in confusion wondering to himself where the voices were coming when he sees Ed and Al just a head of him.

He smiles and raises his hand up. He was just about to call them when their arguing stopped him.

"...I told you this hallway lead to your bedroom!" Al says.

"How can you even tell if my room is even here!? All of the doors look the same!"Ed shouts.

"Because we passed this white and pink vase three times already!" Al points out to him.

"We passed a bunch of white and pink vases! Whats different about this one?!"

"This one is white and pink while the other ones are pink and white!"

"Wh-whats the difference!?"

"The difference is-!"

"Are you guys okay?" Tamaki asks cutting into their arguing. Ed and Al stop and look up at Tamaki who only stares at them in confusion. "What are you guys arguing about?" he asks them.

"Ed and I were trying to find the library but Ed-" Al galres daggers to his brother who only looked annoyed. "-Wouldn't ask no one for help so they can show us the way to the library. And now we're lost and we have no idea where we are." Al tells him.

"You didn't have to tell him everything." Ed mumbles.

"The library?" Tamaki says.

Al nods. "Yeah. Brother figured you would have one since your house is so big. You do have one right?" Al asks.

Tamaki nods and smiles. "Of course we do. We have the biggest library in the entire neighborhood. We also have every book you could ever want." he tells them.

Alphonse's shine bright like stars. "Really? Can you show us the way?" he asks.

Tamaki couldn't help but deepen his smile. It gave a warm feeling in his chest seeing Alphonse smile like that to him. "Sure. I'd love to."

Alphonse does a small 'yeah!' and follows Tamaki who already began to walk. "Come on Ed lets go!" Alphonse calls out.

Ed sighs and with less enthusiasm follows them. "Sure. I'm coming." he mumbles.

"...See, you guys were close but you ended up taking the left rather then the right." Tamaki explains to Alphonse as he lead them to the library.

Al understandably nods. "Oh I see now." Tamaki nods. "Don't worry, I was lost myself when I was young." he tells him.

"Did you find it yourself or did you have someone help you?"

Tamaki rubs the back of his neck, blushing in embarrassment. "I went out to look for it myself. It took me hours before the maids found me crying."

Alphonse smiles in amusement. "Reminds me of a certain someone I know." he glances over his shoulder to see his brother still sulking behind them. He hasn't spoken a word since Tamaki showed them the way to the library.

Ed was glaring at the ground with his shoulders hunched and his hands jammed to his pockets. It was no doubt he was irritated that he couldn't find the library himself.

Sensing that Alphonse was referring to Ed, Tamaki also looks at Ed. 'At this rate, I'm never going to get close with him.' the thought of that made Tamaki feel somber. He really wished Ed could speak to him, even if it was short, he would gladly accept it.

When the three of them made it to the front doors of the library, Tamaki steps in front of the doors, a smile plastered on his face. "Are you guys ready to see whats inside?" he asks them.

Al nods excitedly while Ed stayed quiet. Although inside he was jumping with excitement as well. He wanted to get his hands on those books already!

"Alright then." Tamaki turns to the doors and opens it.

Edwards and Alphonses eyes popped open with awe as the doors opened. They stepped inside with Ed and Al entering first and Tamaki following suit. Their jaws dropped to the floor as they faced shelves with endless stacks of books. The library was indeed huge as they expected it to be. It was two floors up with the stairs leading up to more books. There were desks everywhere and seats where you can sit on. The sweet smell of coffee filled the air making it sweet. In the distance, soft violin music played.

"What do you guys think?" Tamaki asks.

"This...this is awesome!" Alphonse shouts out in amazement. He looks at Tamaki and he could have sworn his smile would break if he continued to widen his smile. "You were right! You have many books to read for a lifetime!"

Tamaki chuckles. "Well, father does enjoy reading. Why not go ahead and check the place? We have time to spare before dinner starts."

"Really? Cool!" Alphonse grabs Ed's hand and drags him upstairs. "Come on Ed lets go!" Ed yelps a bit before he was dragged to the stairs. Before they walked on any of the steps, Al stops and asks Tamaki, "Tamaki, you want to come with us?"

Ed didn't seem to happy with Al's request. He pulls his hand away from Al and walks upstairs. "I'll see you there." Ed mumbles and continues his walk upstairs.

Tamaki watches Ed disappear upstairs. He frowns. "Ignore him." Al says. Tamaki looks down at him. "He's like this sometimes."

"I don't think he's going to warm up to me any time soon." Tamaki says.

"Big brother is a nice guy. Trust me. Its just, his stubbornness can get the best of him sometimes." Al tells him. Tamaki nods understanding a little.

"Come on." Al says. "You can show me the kind of books you and dad read." Al walks on the stairs and Tamaki follows him.

"You love reading don't you?" Tamaki asks. Al nods. "Yeah. Ed and I read a lot when we were younger. We still do now. Its...interesting you know?" Tamaki nods. "Yeah. I'm not much of a reader but I enjoy a good book every now and then." Tamaki tells him.

When they made it to the top, Tamaki was surprised to see Edward already reading a book. He smiles in amusement but was glad that he was reading one of his fathers books. "I see someone already started without us." he jokes to Ed.

But Ed ignored him. He was invested in the book. Tamaki looks at Alphonse. "Is he going to ignore me?" Alphonse chuckles. "Yeah, once you put a book on brothers hands, he won't take his hands off it."

"Hm. Now thats what I call a bookworm."

Some time has passed and dinner had started five minutes ago. But neither of the boys arrived. This was odd for Fuzuru so he decided to find them.

He checked their rooms but they were not there. He questionably hums, wondering where the boys were. Fuzuru then checked the library afterwards. When he arrived, Fuzuru opens the door and peeks his head in. From the distance, he hears Tamakis and Alphonses voices talking.

He walks inside and walks up the steps. Fuzuru stops mid-way when he sees Tamaki and Alphonse talking to one another as they were going through the shelfs. Sitting alone, Ed was reading through his third book. Fuzuru smiles seeing all three of his sons in the same room together.
