"I remembered everything, Killer" Kid sighed as he leaned against the railing of the balcony in his room.

"And? I don't remember anything so please tell me too..." Killer mumbled. Heat and Wire sat next to him quietly.

"Well..."

~Flashback to Kid's past~

The ruined king, he was well known for his ruthlessness and hatred for magic. He would murder anyone with magic within them. It all started a long time ago, he used to embrace magic.

His ill sister was getting closer to death everyday, so he sent his men to search for a cure.

One general found the said cure in a faraway island, and by the time she was back the sister had passed.

The king insisted and forced the general to take him and his sister's rotting corpse to the island, and then forced the monks there to revive the sister. They warned him that dead things must stay dead but he started massacring them. Eventually the monks gave in and revived the sister. But her body was still the rotting corpse it was.

She screamed and begged her brother to end her misery. The said general felt so terrible that she cut her head off. This sent the kid into a fit of rage. How dare she kill his precious little sister?

He blamed everything on magic and banned the use of magic everywhere. He burned people practicing magic, starting with the monks and his general. And upon his return to his kingdom, he glanced at his pregnant wife as she read a bedtime story to their toddler son.

She had magic within her. That meant the abomination growing within her also possessed magic, as the child was to be a girl. He tried to let them be but his advisors warned him of a crimson witch ending his life.

Blinded by wrath he took his wife outside to the empty field behind the palace and ran his sword through her stomach. Unbeknownst to him, his young son had witnessed everything from his bedrooms window.

After the king left, flowers bloomed from where the queens blood was spilled and her body became a beautiful tree with red leaves, with a smaller tree hidden behind it.

Kid witnessed all this and the next day he told his father that he wanted to turn the dry and empty land into a garden for himself.

The king felt somewhat guilty for taking away his son's mother so he allowed him.

Kid began taking care of the flowers and the trees and more and more kept growing. He could hear the distant whisper of his mother, echoing through the wind. He promised himself he would take care of the garden, as he couldn't save his mother and unborn sister.

He began to spend more and more time there, distancing himself from others.

The king grew worried and ordered his most trusted advisor, and the only good-hearted one, to find a solution.

The advisor told the king of three orphans he took in and trained to be excellent soldiers and assassins, and that since they were all around the same age they could both protect the prince and befriend him. The king was pleased with the advisors work and accepted his offer.

The three orphans were moved into the palace and Kid was informed that he will be having his own royal guards. He didn't like these news. He was quite defensive when he first met them.

"Don't you touch my flowers!" He screamed at the blue haired boy.

"I was just trying to help..." The boy muttered. The king had stepped on one of the flowers and he was trying to hold the flower upright with a stick.

"Fine I don't care do whatever but leave me alone!" Kid huffed.

The first few months he was wary of the 'parasites' following him around. He thought of them as spies sent by his father. But once The blonde boy whom he did not know the name of saw him casting a small healing spell on a dying plant.

"Don't tell my father!" Kid begged.

"I won't. I don't like him" The blondie shrugged.

"You are not his spy?"

"What? No!" He laughed and sat next to Kid. "I'm killer"

"Killer? How many people have you killed?" Kid questioned.

"Oh no, I haven't killed anyone yet. That's my name" Killer chuckled.

"Oh..." Kid blushed, feeling stupid.

"The blue haired boy is Heat and the one who is super attached to the pitchfork is Wire"

"You guys have weird names"

"So do you, "Kid" " Killer chuckled.

"Hey! My mom named me!" Killer growled.

"We're orphans so we don't know who named us."

"Oh.... Well my dad killed my mom..." Kid trailed off.

Killer was shocked. No one knew about that.

"He did?!?!"

"Ya, and she was pregnant with ma sister"

"Oh..."

They sat in silence for a few minutes. Slowly accepting each-other.

"Am I weird?" Kid asked.

"Yes. But so are we. Weird is good" Killer answered.

"Friends?" Kid looked at him with big eyes.

"Friends." Killer pat his head.

A few years later y.n came into the castle and the boys saw the little prince fall head over heels for her. They did all in their power to make sure they end up together. But things went to shit when y.n's true identity was revealed. And it got even worse when the soldiers came back without the prince. The king shut himself away in his room immediately.

"Where is Prince Kid?" Killer growled, his scythe by the neck of a soldier.

"The king..." the soldier looked around, making sure no one hears. "The king ran him through with his sword... The prince is dead..."

This sparked a rebellion within the young boys. They fought and fought and killed and burned. Some joined them, some stood against them. They burned the castle and caused a lot of damage. But in the end, outnumbered and out of breath, they were circled by the enemy.

"Murder the traitors!" A general yelled and the last thing they was was a swarm of fiery arrows raining upon them. They accepted their defeat. They had no more strength to fight. This was it.

At least they could see their friend again in the afterlife....

And they did.

At the devils alter stood Kid, begging Lucifer to keep his love safe.

"You must give me something in return."

"Anything!" Kid begged.

Lucifer glanced and smiled as she saw the three boys staring at their surrounding in awe.

"How about I protect your lover, and let you and your friends stay together, and in return you guys work for me? "

"I can't pull my friends into this!" Kid yelled, unaware that his friends, his brothers, are dead.

"We will do it" Killer spoke.

"Killer!!! What are you guys doing here???"

"They died avenging their fallen brother. I respect that." Lucifer sat upon her throne.

"Yeah..." Heat rubbed the back of his neck and Wire gave Kid an apologetic look.

"Idiots!!" Kid pulled them into a hug.

"Will I ever be with her?" Kid asked as he looked over the contract.

"You can never become a normal human after becoming a demon. But someday she can join you."

"I see" He signed the contract.

And the transformation caused them all their memories....

~End of flashback~

"I remember everything now" Killer sighed.

"Worth it" Heat declared. "Worth it" Wire agreed.

"So? Are you gonna tell her?" Heat asked.

"After all the time she waited for me... How can I tell her? I left her..."

"No, shit just happened" Killer reassured.

"you're right. She will find out eventually. Best I tell her no-" Kid stopped mid-sentence and shivered.

"You okay?" Wire questioned.

"I feel weird!" Kid was shivering and had goosebumps. "I feel very weird!"

"You're just being a pussy, go talk to her" Killer ordered.

"No I'm serious!!"

"GO!!" All three yelled in unison.
