Trigger Warning: this chapter talks a lot about religion, specifically Christianity and I tried to write it to the best of my ability. No, I'm not against any religion and I don't follow a specific religion so things said by characters are not my personal beliefs. If it was, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have written any of my books. Oh, and character death.

Kirishima's p.o.v
I've been sitting in this cell for the past three days. Nothing to do except await my inevitable fate in this horrible place. I think it's early morning but it's hard to tell through this tiny, dirty barred up window. "You, you're coming with us." One of the prison guards said before unlocking the massive chain on my cell which was number 17 in the 7th block. I guess they had a lot of "criminals" here. Two guards roughly grabbed my arms and hoisted me up onto my feet and bound my wrists tightly. The guards then tried to make me walk forward but my body was too beaten and bruised for me to walk which resulted in me being half dragged, half limping down the corridor. I know where they are taking me, they're taking me to the courtyard. I already know what happens in the courtyard.
  
   Once we get there, the guards still tightly gripping my arms, I see a large crowd gathered. I guess this is just a show to them. I can see the king and queen up at the back of the courtyard on a high balcony where they watch from. I'm brought through the large crowd as they shout horrible things at me and try to grab at me but the guards are too strong and along with other guards they manage to keep the crowd somewhat under control. I'm taken up to the front where I see my parents who are also tied at the wrists. Not my actual parents of course, they're long gone. These are my unofficial adoptive parents. They found me when i was living on the street alone when I was eight, I am now fourteen. But the thing is they're gay. My parents aren't him and her they're her and her. I'm also gay, that's part of the reason I was abandoned. I always accepted them and they were always very accepting of me. Now the three of us are standing in the prison courtyard to be trialed by the king and queen and then executed, for in the kingdom of Aedon being gay is a major crime with a punishment of death. "QUIET!" The king yelled from his balcony.
  
   "Today we are gathered here for the trial of three people, all with one crime. Homosexuality.  As it is clearly stated in the bible homosexuality is a sin and so we are here to decide the sentence of Cara Kirishima, Mayea Shimera and their apparently adopted son Eijirou Kirishima. All three of them have been discovered of committing multiple accounts of this crime. And according to the law they are to be executed."
The king said coldly. This is it I thought, my last minutes on Earth. Am I scared, sad or relieved? I'm not really sure.

"Cara Kirishima, do you wish to defend yourself?" The king spoke, his voice void of emotion. "First of all your Highness I love this woman. I love our son. Being gay isn't wrong as you say it is. The bible might say heterosexuality is what he wanted and homosexuality is a sin but do you know what else he said, "Lying lips are an abomination of the Lord" and for you to say God hates gays is a lie for he said to "love one another; just as I have loved you" Therefore my king you are a liar and a sinner, just like me." She finished. The crowd started screaming with anger at her words and the king rolled his eyes.
  
   "Mayea Shimera, do you wish to defend yourself?" He asked. "This is how Jesus died, crucified by those who failed to believe he was truthful and right. If I am executed today then I, along with this family, will join Jesus in heaven tomorrow. For God says there is one sin that is unforgivable and that is to not accept Jesus Christ into my soul and I have spent my whole life loving Jesus so not even death will keep me from loving this woman beside me." Another round of screams from the crowd. "I have come to the decision that Cara Kirishima's and Mayea Shimera's sentence is the death penalty for the crimes of homosexuality and bringing up a son into a homosexual family against the wishes of the Lord in our holy bible. You will be executed immediately and Eijirou Kirishima's sentence shall be decided afterwards."

    The guards forced me to watch, holding my head in place. I had to watch as my parents, the only people who have ever accepted me, were hung. I watched them grab onto each others hand as the nooses were tightened around their necks and interlock their fingers. They were hooded and then the floor below them dropped and the were left suspended in the air. In unison before they no longer had any breath I heard them say "I love you." One last time and then they died hung side by side.  I didn't really care if I died now. At least I'll see my parents on the other side. I really do have nothing to live for now.

   "Eijirou Kirishima, do you wish do defend yourself to attempt to stop your execution?" I was silent. I didn't say a word. I didn't care anymore. Although of course I didn't want to, I was prepared to die right here, right now. "I have personally made the decision to not execute you. You are so young at the age of fourteen that you simply mustn't understand just how wrong homosexuality is and these "parents" of yours must have corrupted you into their disgusting ways. So from now on you will be working in my castle as a servant, so I can personally assure to rid you of your homosexual disease."

At the castle later that morning-

Bakugou's p.o.v
   "Prince Katsuki. Katsuki! Prince Katsuki wake up!
My butler, Yagi roughly shook me awake. "Katsuki, you need to get up it's already late morning and the king and queen will be returning from the prison shortly." I grumbled and Yagi left my room but I got up knowing he was right and looked out my window and over the dark and mysterious forest below. I needed to begin my studies but all I wanted was to continue watching life outside these walls I am trapped in. I thought about how even though I had just turned fifteen my parents were already telling me I needed to find a princess to marry soon so that I can take over the throne and rule the kingdom.  I don't want to rule the kingdom, I like living my life how I want to not how a king should but my parents say that is selfish. I especially don't want to marry... a girl. I'm gay, but no one knows and no one ever will except my butler Yagi. I trust him since he practically raised me since my parents don't particularly care about me very much; they're too busy worrying about their kingdom to care about their son.

   I got dressed and then made my way to the library to begin my studies by doing some reading. I read for about 45 minutes before I heard the trumpets outside the castle signalling the return of the king and queen. I didn't bother coming to the large front doors to greet them because I was too invested in my book, not that they would really care if I came or not. After about another five minutes of reading my butler Yagi came into the library to find me. "The king and queen wish to speak with you your highness. They have someone they want you to meet." I sighed putting my book down on the small table in the far corner of the library before following Yagi out to the entrance of the castle. There stood my parents along with three tough looking guards and a boy about my age. Even though he was in terrible condition and I could tell the guards hadn't took his hygiene or health into consideration he was beautiful. Beautiful didn't even begin to cut it, he was too gorgeous for words. All he was wearing was a pair of not very clean underwear and he had and amazing body even though he looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion any second. He had dark crimson red hair and full lips that looked very kissable. I can't be thinking like this, I am the prince and I must marry a princess and rule over the kingdom, just like my father. But what was most eye catching about this boy was his mysterious, striking red eyes that looked like the red birds that fly outside my window. They were filled with so much emotion and beauty. He looked so deprived, sad and alone. Why was he here?

       He was just a lost boy.
