A/N Hey everyone! Not much to say, really…but thanks for the amazing, fabulous reviews! People have been saying the NICEST things to me about this story-it makes me feel so special! Keep reading, it only gets better from here ;) and my birthday is the 5th, and I still would LOVE art for this story, so if you want to give me some…please? I know we have some Deviants around here, so don't be shy!
I put my hand on my hip and give Eugene a hard stare, but he doesn't flinch.
"What do you mean, 'who am I?' I'm Eugene, obviously." He says with a bit of a spark to it. I scoff.
"Oh, really now? Then I'd love to hear about how Nathan grew up a prince, and you grew up an orphan." I smirk, and quickly regret it. Eugene's amber eyes fill with pain, and he leans against the wall, closing his eyes.
"It was the day before my sixth birthday. I was playing hide-and-seek with Nathan. I opened my eyes to find him…and he was gone. I searched and searched, but I could never find him." he says, pausing for a moment, then continuing. "The orphanage mother said that Nathan was gone…that someone had adopted him…I never expected that it was the King and Queen of Inediro." he finishes softly. Wow. I don't think I've ever seen Eugene open up like that, aside from that night beside the campfire. I brush some hair from his face and gently hold him. I make him look at me.
"Hey. You know, I like poor orphan Eugene much better than Flynn Rider, or Prince Nathan." Eugene smiles ever-so-slightly, and his eyes lighten.
"You think so?" he says softly. I grin.
"Trust me. I know so."
A/N It's ridiculously short! But I was hitting myself trying to think of ideas, and I knew I needed to update, so I thought I'd just give you a bit of backstory fluffiness. OH! And we've hit a milestone with this story. TWENTY CHAPTERS! Gosh, I can't believe we've come this far! Keep the reviews coming and see if we can get 100 ;)
