So this story isn't really canon but I had fun writing it. Rhese is an important streak, because I made him Sean's dad. No spoilers cuz it's romance. Review if you like it! Criticism if not. And please enjoy! It makes me happy :)

I'm SSSSSOOOOOOO sorry I did not post this earlier. I didn't have time, my school busted in and my friend is going crazy, so I had to deal with her.

So I'm planning to make this multi-chaptered. Up until Halt gets 18, when he leaves the kingdom. So this fanfic will have at least 18 chapters, then I'll have to post a multi-chapter story on one stage of his life, so stay tuned :)

Five-year-old Halt sat on the floor, annoyed. His twin brother was sitting next to him, crying loudly.

"Shut up," Halt muttered. The phrase was useful, but unfortunately Ferris was oblivious to its meaning. Instead, Ferris bawled louder, howling now. Halt grabbed a cushion and proceeded to cover his ears with it.

"Idontwantttowearthisitsuncomfyitsitchyits-"

"Shut up!"

Halt and Ferris had been told they were to be given each a playmate. They didn't know what it was, but it had a 'play' in the word, so Ferris was excited. Halt was skeptical, but he didn't know such a word yet, so he stayed quiet. While waiting for them, Ferris had gone bored and had started crying, which got up to Halt's nerves.

A few minutes later, their mother, Queen Hazelle O'Carrick, entered with two boys trailing behind her. One of the boys had brown hair and brown eyes. THe other had blonde hair and pale blue eyes.

"Halt, Ferris," the queen introduced. "This is Rhese and Marlin. Rhese, Marlin, they are your new masters Halt and Ferris."

Ferris had stopped crying and was staring, wide-eyed, at the newcomers while wrinkling his nose. When nobody made an attempt to greet each other, the queen was obliged to push Marlin gently to Ferris. "Now, Ferris, this is your playmate." Marlin looked at Ferris. Ferris looked back at him.

Hazelle then nudged Rhese to Halt. "Halt," she said. "From now on you'll play with him. This is your playmate." Halt looked at him. Rhese looked back at him.

Rather taken aback by the lack of enthusiasm, Hazelle turned to Ferris. "Now Ferris, will you show Marlin around?" Ferris, given something to do, brightened and took Marlin's hand and led him off. The Queen turned and followed them, leaving Halt and Rhese alone.

As soon as his mother left, Halt slumped on a couch and groaned. He didn't know what Rhese would mean to him since he could always use servants and the castle staff. He didn't 'play' like Ferris. Ferris would throw blocks and ride wooden horses while Halt would observe and quietly stack those blocks. And when he was learning to read he found them better than screaming. Unlike his twin brother, he never cried when he didn't get what he wanted. He personally liked to go out and be himself in the gardens or the trees instead of making the servants perform antics. He found Ferris's playing distant.

And he certainly had no experience with a 'playmate'. He disliked playing with Ferris. Well, he liked to visit his sister Caitlyn, but she was only an year old now.

He cracked open an eyelid. The redhead was still there, standing and Fingering his shirt. He sighed and rolled over.

"Care to talk?"

Any guess of who Sean's dad was? *ULTRA BIG RED BLINKING HINT*

*BLARES SOME MORE*
