This is another version of 'Alternate'; I deleted 'Alternate' so I can rewrite it into here.

I feel like Hiruma would call Sena by his first name for some reason.

"Speech"

Chapter 1- Swap

"Un, Hiruma, what are we doing here?"

The nine and ten year old boys snuck across the field towards a fence. The brown-haired boy, also the younger of the two, was the one who asked the question, eyebrows rose in surprise when he realized that they were trying to sneak into an American base.

"Kekeke, I found an interesting place."

The black-haired, devious-looking and older boy responded, evidently the leader of their duo. He pointed at the hole in the fence and motioned for the younger boy to follow him as he crawled through the hole. He grinned when nobody noticed them.

The younger boy, whose name is Sena, blinked in surprise: "Y-you're not going to join the military in the future, are you?" The other boy, Hiruma, rolled his eyes: "No, just come with me."

Sena sighed deeply: "We're not going to get in trouble for this, are we?"

"Che, aren't your family out right now?" Hiruma asked as they continued to walk towards the door, avoiding any adults they could.

"Yes..." Sena sighed as he stalked after him. "B-but, I am supposed to be under the care of your mom and dad right now- and I'm not!" Sena frowned when they opened the door to the tiny broken down building that looked somewhat like a shed, and Hiruma completely ignored him. As soon as they opened the door they all moaned and groaned: "Hell no, the brat is back- and he's here with someone."

"Kekeke, how about we play Blackjack today?" Hiruma asked them, and then pointed straight at Sena: "He's playing too."

Sena blinked: "Uh, what?"

Hiruma grinned: "Don't worry; the rules are easy to remember." One of the men scoffed: "For you,"

Hiruma ignored him again. Hiruma shoved Sena towards the table where everyone was playing.

"A-Ah but I don't have any money!" Sena stuttered, when Hiruma suddenly shoved twenty dollars into his arms. "O-Okay then,"

As the people explained to Sena what the rules were, Sena just nodded in response, to even the hardest to understand things, and in his first game, he failed miserably.

"Haha, looks like we're not going to lose our money completely this time," said the one that began to pack his bags. "You're leaving already? But I was just beginning to get used to it." Sena frowned, much to the pleasure of Hiruma.

Sena grinned, almost as deviously as Hiruma, as they all stared at him, confused as hell.

As soon as the second game began, it seemed as if Sena shut down, he became completely still, almost as if he was nothing but a puppet. He didn't say anything anymore, not even commenting or asking any questions until: "Blackjack."

A perfect deck, an ace and a king that stood there, almost mocking them.

"How the fuck did you win?" The guy practically flung the table over, and Sena seemingly snapped out of his trance, jumping behind Hiruma so quick that they barely even saw him flash by.

Sena just stared at Hiruma, who cackled: "Figure it out by yourself."

Then Hiruma joined the game.

Hiruma, while he didn't even have the slightest poker face, as soon as he began to play with Sena, started to threaten everyone until they all backed down, and it came down to the two of them. A complete newbie and a player who had played a decent amount of games, all of them were intent to see who would win.

Sena didn't change his emotion, even though the one card he had up was a six, which wasn't one of the most pleasing, while Hiruma had a jack, which was an amazing card in this situation, giving him good reason for him be attacking. But Sena's face did not falter.

Then when they flipped their cards over- the two of them had both busted.

"Well, that was close." Sena smiled. "But Hiruma... you promised to treat me to hamburgers after this, come on!"

The whole American base was incredibly frightened.

"Kekeke, let's go see the football game first."

"Football?" Sena asked, large brown eyes squinting a little as he questioned the unfamiliar word he was confronted with. "Trust me, Sena, it's one of the most interesting games you'll see, let's see how good you are at gambling the money you win."

Hiruma quickly dragged Sena away to watch the games.

"Wow," Sena's eyes widened as he watched the players get pummelled.

It was a brutal game, violent, tactical, but the one thing that made him enjoy it the most was watching the players run across the field with the ball, the cheers they received- the goals they had.

"Huh, team red seems to have the fastest running... person..."

"Running back," Hiruma corrected Sena, and then sneered: "But their quarterback is pathetic."

Sena just nodded in response, too mesmerized by the game unfolding in front of his eyes to even say anything.
