A/N: Does anyone even read these anymore?

I feel like we all put so much work into this, and no one gives a shit. Oh, and this was inspired by a tumblr post. XD AU

In a small cottage, lived a man and his two sons. The father was named Adelwulf, and the two sons were named Ludwig and Gilbert. Adelwulf and Ludwig were normal looking. Light skinned, blue-eyed, blonde haired. Human looking.

Gilbert was not. He was the oldest child, and loved his little brother more than anything. He was always smiling and laughing and and making jokes. His little brother was shy, and serious. The only thing they shared was a last name.

Gilbert was born with red eyes and snowy white hair. He was labeled a monster from birth. Had it not been for his mother stopping it, he would've died a long time ago. Now, everyone avoided him. Except Ludwig. If something went missing, it was Gilbert's fault. If an animal was killed, he did it. The days got worse as he grew older.

He was banned from going to the church and was labeled a demon. Then, one day, it happened. Some boys burned off most of his hair. The girls ran away when he tried to talk with them. Mothers moved their children away from him when he walked through the streets.

Gilbert was 12 at this time, and he was walking through the market one day, when he was grabbed. "Gilbert Belischmidt, you are accused of witchcraft and devil worshipping. Your punishment is to be sunk in the river." The voice of the pastor said, loudly.

His eyes widened, "N-No! No! Vati! Help me!" He called out in plea, reaching out towards his father as he was led away. "Please!" He cried out. He wanted to cry, but, something stopped him.

No. He was stronger than that. He jerked away, trying to run. He was grabbed and drug back. Arms tied with heavy chains, he closed his eyes as he was marched to his death. Even without the chains, he…he couldn't swim.

He had never learned. He was dead. He watched his little brother sadly as he was led to the edge of the bridge. "We will finally rid the town of this demon. This red eyed monster!" The preacher yelled. "May God show your soul no mercy." He said, pushing him over the side. The splash was loud and he struggled, trying to reach the surface. It wasn't long before he passed out.

When he came too, he was on something fluffy and warm, he opened his eyes, blinking up at the person above him. It was a…girl? No…it was a boy in a dress, "W-Where am I?" He coughed.

"Ve~! You're awake! We pulled you out of the river, well, big brother Toni did~! Why were you in there with chains on you?" The boy asked, smiling.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm a demon. Or at least, that's what everyone called me, back at my village. Even my father." He said frowning.

"Oh~!" The boy giggled, feeling around for something a bit and handing it to him. It was a glass of water. "Well, I'm sure you're very nice looking." He smiled, "I can't see you for myself, though." He said sadly.

Gilbert frowned, "That's unawesome." He frowned. The other, slightly younger one shook his head.

"No! It's alright. I'm used to it." He said, grinning, "I'm Feliciano." He smiled. He paused, "Ciao, big brother Toni~!" He said happily, "He's awake."

"That's good. Oh, Hola. I'm Antonio, but you can call me Toni. Do you have a name?"

"Gilbert." He said, frowning, "Or demon."

"Well, Gilbert are you hungry?" He asked.

The boy nodded, "Ja. Very."

Thus, Gilbert lived with Antoni, Feliciano, and the others in that house. He and Feliciano grew closer each day that passed. Soon, though, Gilbert decided to say goodbye and go off on his own. He was about to leave, when Feliciano sighed. They were both 17, now, and as Feliciano had grown, thankfully, he out grew the dresses. They stood there, a bit nervous. "Feli…I heve to go now."

"Can't I come with? Please, Gil?"

"Not now. I'm going to build a nice house, and get settled in, then I will come and fetch for you and we'll be together." He said, grinned, "I'll keep that awesome promise!"

"Fine, but, before you go…" He trailed off, leaning up to kiss Gilbert quickly. "I'll miss you, okay?"

"Okay."
