Hi guys, I am so extremely sorry this is not an update (trust me, I know how frustrating that is. Been there) so i am absolutely sorry this isn't a real update. I'm just kind of frustrated that I have a writers block with this story, I honestly have no idea how to continue with this. Honest, and just to be clear I feel your pain, I'm frustrated with me too. I also have CSTs coming up (just math now but equally as frustrating) (also California Standardized Testing for those of you who are wondering) and my teachers are pushing us for our final grades this school year. BUT. BUT. That does not mean I'm going to leave you without something to read, cause yeah I would be a jerk if I left you like that. SO over the weekend I will also be working on a partial very long one shot involving good ole' Arty and Will. So yeah. I also have a preview for you so this isn't a total loss. So yes, thank you for reading this, and I am so so sorry I don't have an update for TKB. I'm also now on tumblr (aki-the-fangirl) and I am taking au one shot requests so if your hungry just go ahead and ask for a oneshot. I'll even do pairings, straight or yaoi, even threesome. I just don't know if i can do smut cause i'm new to that. Of course you can also add William or yourself (just give me a description of yourself and how you want to be written within the ask) i'll try so yeah.

Now, on with the preview:

Arthur was tired, walking home from the school where everyone either hated or feared him. 'The demon king' they called him. Needless to say, it was hell. Everyday was the same. He would walk by himself to school. Walk into his first period. Francis would tease him about his eyebrows. Alfred would claim that he was such a fun sucker. Gilbert would make fun of him to no end. Antonio would spite him out of no where. The rest would all either try to beat him up, or stay far away from him.
It wasn't his fault for having the family eyebrows. It wasn't his fault for not seeing what fun it was to get drunk under the table. It wasn't his fault for trying to fit in. It wasn't his fault that he hadn't known where he was looking, accidentally pushing Antonio into the pool. It wasn't his fault he had the student president council under his name, nor was it that he could fight back when he was targeted. How else would he have defended himself from three brothers that would be drunk and blaming him for Mum and Dad's car accident.
Over the years of the repeated mantra of going home and back, he learned to get into his room through the vine that would reach to his window. As silently as a fox grabbing a hen. Over the years, Arthur learned it was best to either keep quite, or push everyone away. He might get hurt again.
7th grade:
"A-Arturo...I like you".
"W-What?"
"Fusososo! Your face is so red! Of course not, who would like a caterpillar browed boy like you!" Antonio ran away laughing. Leaving a broken hearted Arthur, green eyes hardening, and loosing it's color, dulling into a acidic green.
Once he was in his room, he winced at the memory. That was the third one.
6th grade:
"Dude! You like, totally did that on propose!"
"I-I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it-"
"Whatever dude, if your looking for friends you ain't see'in any here! Go away! Fun sucker!"
3rd grade:
"It's all your fault you brat! Mum and Dad could still be alive if they hadn't needed te go te yer stupid violin recital!"
"B-But I-I".
"Shat yer trap, it's your fault!"
Each one was painful, each one made him want to just stand in the busy freeway. It would have been better wouldn't it? No one would have to deal with him anymore, more importantly, no one would die because of him. That's better for everyone right?
He looked out the window, it was 5 meters of the ground give or take. He was on the third floor, it would kill him right?
He shook his head. No, that would just leave his brothers to have to clean up his body. Plus, there was a possibility that he could live. He cant risk it, and there was no need for them to have to clean up after him. Putting away his satchel, he found an old jumprope he used to play with.
"This would do just fine," he muttered to himself. He got out again, and headed to the park. No one would be there at this hour, a perfect place to kill himself. No interruptions. He walked toward the swing, winter was creating the perfect snowy day for tomorrow. Not that it mattered, for him anyway. He tied the rope into a loop with a fishermen's knot, strong enough not to break or unloose for a guy weighed like him. Little did he notice that he had started to refuse any forms of food for a while.
He stood at the swing, and prepared to jump off. 1, 2, 3-
"Excuse me, what are you doing?"
He stopped, a boy wrapped in an oversized coat and pants that went up to his feet kept his legs warm. He was about Arthur's own age, but his face and hair was covered in something black.
"Just go away, no one would care about me anyways," he responded. His voice sounding broken as ever.
"I would," the boy replied smoothly. His voice was slightly Americanized, but his accent was clear. British.
"Why?" he asked.
"I'll tell you if you come down here without the noose, and you living and breathing, and very much alive".
Arthur hesitated, he didn't know him. What obligatory status did this boy had to make such a deal? Why did he feel like he could trust him?
"A-Alright".

BYE! HAVE A GOOD DAY OR NIGHT. AND I AM SO SO SORRY I DON'T HAVE AN UPDATE.

(UPDATE 7/6/14)

Hi, it has been official, TKB will be on temporary hiatus until I get a sudden spark of inspiration. However, I am probably not going to sit here and let my fanfiction just sit there, so I'd like to let everyone know that the story from the preview above has been release, and the title is 'Rise of the Lion'. It does involve William, so don't worry, if your worried about that anyway. However, I do have to say that he won't be officially appearing until late on in the story. The story however, will be a pairing story and will have a poll onto WHO exactly get's Arthur (unless you choose all, then well. Whelp). I'd also like to humbly apologize that this is not a 'Twin Kirkland Brothers' update, I know you guys are pretty eager to see what happens next, so I am sorry for getting your hopes up. Hopefully, (if you read chapter two of the new story) you know that I will be out on a trip. However I will be bringing my laptop with me (if all else fails I'll bring my phone and type it up on an email or something) so I will be working. If I am lucky, I may even find a spark to continue 'Twin Kirkland Brothers'. So in the mean time, I hope you take the time to also look at the new story 'The Rise of the Lion'. As it will have longer chapters, but it will also take more time to get up. So thank you, good day/night.
