I do not own FMAB or any of its characters.

I woke up suddenly aware of my surroundings. I was still against the wall, but now these two people were just watching me. They looked a lot like each other, too much to be a coincidence. They had to be related somehow. They both had blonde hair, but one's was darker. The one with the lighter hair had his long and pulled into a ponytail, while the other one had a simple short haircut. They had golden eyes, something that I had never seen before.

I met the eyes of the one with the longer hair and waited for him to say something explaining why the two of them were just looking at me. Instead of an explanation, the one I was looking at asked me, "Who are you?"

I'm trying to figure that out for myself, Buddy. What do I tell him? The truth? Or do I fabricate a lie? I decide on a half-truth quickly (why would I want to tell somebody about my situation if I wasn't even sure they would help me?) and started speaking.

"I'm Kira."

"Hi Kira." It was the other one talking now. "What are you doing out here?"

"What does it look like?"

The two appeared not to notice the acid that was loaded into my response. The one with lighter hair said, "If it'll make you feel better, we'll tell you who we are. I'm Ed, and this is my little brother Al." He gestured to the one beside him.

The one that had been indicated as Al finally said something. "Do you need any help or anything?"

Again I'm faced with a choice. Should I let these two brothers help me with my situation, or will I try my luck? Maybe I should let them help me. After all, when will another person come along that's willing to assist me?

Now, how do I start? Do I just tell them that I don't remember anything? Or do I come up with some lie? Let's start off with a small part of the truth, see how far these two are willing to go to help me.

"I guess so," I begin, letting my expression lose some of its defensiveness. "I don't have any place to stay…"

"You can stay with us," Al said helpfully.

"I wouldn't want to make you feel uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about that. We'll be happy to help, right Ed?" Ed just nodded.

"But why would you guys want to help me? You don't even know me."

"Let's just say we have a certain person in mind that did the same thing for us a long time ago." Ed's eyes seemed to get a little darker when his brother said this. Was this a touchy subject for the two of them? If so, I would think it'd be better if I try to find out more information from Al. He seemed more likely to talk.

"Okay," I finally agreed. "Thanks, by the way."

"Don't even mention it," Ed said.

I got led off by the two brothers across town to a hotel.

Oh, no… I hope this isn't what I think it is... I didn't agree to this! My thoughts were sent into images of rape that could potentially happen due to me being alone in a hotel room with the two boys. Should I bail? Or would that be too obvious? If I left now would they try to find me and rape me somewhere else? If I go then I'll always be looking over my shoulder, but I don't want to get molested!

"So… you guys are staying here?" I asked nonchalantly. They don't need to know that I was thinking about the harm they could easily inflict upon me.

Ed nodded his head. "Yeah."

Al seemed to notice something about my expression and said quickly, "We can get you your own room, if you'd like. We're going back home tomorrow, anyway."

"Yes please," I said, trying to not say it too fast. This one… he reads me too easily. The other one, though… he's oblivious. Completely and sadly oblivious.

We got ourselves checked in and headed to our separate rooms. It didn't surprise me that the brothers shared one, but it did surprise me when I heard a meow coming from the room that was immediately followed by Ed saying, "I said no more cats, Al! Do you want to become a male version of a cat lady?!"

So Al likes cats. I'll have to keep that in mind…

Sorry about that bit with the rape… it's just while I was writing this and the guys were going to a hotel I started thinking, "Rape! Rape! Rapists everywhere!" because quite honestly, if I was in Kira's situation I would be very worried about that.
