Prince

New Start // [ Aki + Erica]

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Having not lived in a town quite this size, exploring the place had been one of the most important activities to do. If he was expected to live here for a while, he had to know where everything was located. Or at least a few places…he thought thinking small. Aki had always had trouble staying in one place for long, this place being no exception. 

Snapping out of his thoughts, he barely had enough time to register a voice, let alone what the person was saying, before having to avoid bags of food splattering on top of him. Groaning, Aki lunged, capturing a few in his hands before the rest making a mess on top of him. Ignoring his state, his attention fell to the girl laying face first on the sidewalk. “Are you okay?” he asked, placing what groceries he managed to catch next to her.

Erica lifted her head, preparing to speak before blood filled her mouth. Instead, she ended up spitting in the stranger’s face. “Oops.”

Being used to such accidents, and therefore desensitized, she merely held her sleeve up to her nose to stem the flow of blood. It was quickly stained an ugly red. “I’m fine!” She chirped, voice nasal for obvious reasons. Now that she was looking at him, she noticed a crucial detail that she’d previously overlooked. “You’ve got egg on your–” Her eyes went wide. “You’re an egghead! Hah! Ahahahaha! That’s amazing!” She dissolved into a fit, clutching her stomach with her unoccupied hand.

Once she’d managed to suck in a copper-tasting breath, she shot to her feet. “I’m Erica, by the way! Erica Kay Maverdeen! And,” she leaned in close, as if preparing to whisper a secret, “I’m actually a superhero.” She winked.

“So, Eggy. Eggbert. Eggstein. Eggboy. What’s your name? Age? Occupation? Favorite color?” She clapped her hands together, her sleeve making a wet smacking noise. All of her face below her nose–from her cheeks to her chin–was now smeared in blood. “Oh, I remember! I was gonna make food! Well, the food’s all over you now, and I kinda don’t wanna put you on the menu, so fast food it is!” As she said this, something occurred to her. A look of horror crossed her face.

“Wait, what if they think I’m a zombie?! Will they refuse me service?!” She let loose a wail of despair.

[the-one-and-only-prince]

From the minute he met the girl, to the point the eggs landed on top of him, Aki was not sure what to make of this girl. He knew people like her, he even carried some  characteristics, but nothing to this point. She was a little --- extreme, even for his standards. But that was beside the point. “Are you sure?” he asked. Pausing for a second, his hand reached behind him, taking out a napkin, and handed it her way, concern laced in his usual smile. 

He didn’t know when it happened, just that his expression changed, listening to her words and fast movement of her actions. Without a second thought, his smile widened, her laughter almost contagious. He stood, eyes unblinking, taking in all of the names thrown at him. Over the years, he was used to nicknames, being called prince for most of his high school experience.

Listening to her rant, in the heat of the moment, forgetting to introduce himself. “My name is Aki. It’s a pleasure miss” bowing slightly, his smile shining through, the eggs shifting with the tilt. “ To answer some of your questions, I just moved here so I have not really looked for work yet and my favorite is orange” he answered simply, hoping this satisfied the young girl. 

By the time his words left, Aki was not prepared for what came next. Turning towards the source of the sound, a moment of panic swept in. He was good at comforting people, that was what he was known for. Stepping the few feet from each other, he lightly placed his hand on her shoulder. “I’m sure you are fine. You just have to clean up a little first” his lips sweeping into one of his princely like smiles.

New Start // [ Aki + Erica]

Not even a week into his new life, Aki wanted to flee. The whole reason for coming to the new town was for him to start over, but not even the ever social prince could will himself out of his home. This is getting me nowhere…he muttered, ceasing the unfinished circle from his pacing.

 Taking a deep breathe, he closed his eyes smoothing away the anxiety built inside himself. Counting back from 5, he slowly opened them, letting the stress melt away.  I can do this…  he thought, opening the door. Taking the first step, his grin resurfaced, the shining prince back. Not knowing the town, he walked along the streets with no clear destination in mind. 

[ericamaverdeen]

Erica romped down the sidewalk, bag of groceries held in her hands. The paper crinkled as she held it to her chest, though it obscured her vision. She wasn’t much of a cook, but she was getting tired of eating fast food. Even she couldn’t mess up beef stroganoff, right?

Riiiiight.

Tripping over her own feet, the grocery bag went flying. Erica made a noise halfway between a gasp and a mournful howl. “Blondie, look out!”

Following this, she fell face-first on the concrete, her nose making a wet cracking noise. With her luck, she’d probably broken it. Again.

New Adventure: Chapter one

Waking up was the easy part, getting out of bed, not so much. He was not usually the type of person to sleep in, but the cold air blowing in his bedroom door reminded him otherwise. Curled up in his sheets, his eyes close once more. 

I can not see how you like the cold so much...he muttered to himself, thinking about a long ago friend. Sighing, his thoughts are interrupted as his radio starts turning on, filling his whole room with sound. 

It took till the full count of three for him to will himself out of bed. Groaning slightly, he pulled the sheets off of him and turns on his shower in the bathroom, hoping to get some warmth. Coming out a few minutes later with a white buttoned up shirt and a pair of jeans, he pockets his phone before heading out the door to go to the academy. 

Already, he was confused where to go, but instead of asking Aki wondered around the place until he eventually found his dorm. Going inside for a few minutes, he unpacked his clothes, leaving the rest for later. Looking around the room, he spots a second bed. I guess I have a roommate, he thinks happily. Maybe it won't be so lonely here after all. 

With his simple tasks done, he looks around the rest of the dorm until the PDA turns on, stopping him in his tracks. A smile eventually reaches his lips at the announcement. 

This should be fun...he thinks as he heads to the direction of the bonfire. 

[the-one-and-only-prince]

New places. New discoveries.

From the few days that he has been here, he had already scoped out the campus of the new school he would stay at. The school was cool in itself but it left him bored. With nothing to do, he wandered into the rec room in between their dorms and sat in the corner of the room with a book in his hands. Taking out his glasses in his pocket, he begun reading. 

[ericamaverdeen]

Gods, she was having too much fun with this. Every new face was a new friend, by her standards, and new friends meant fun. Lots of fun. So much so she could hardly sit still as the days passed. So to blow off some steam and announce her complete and utter control of the Foosball table, she made her way to the rec room.

…And found someone she’d never seen before with their nose buried in a book in the corner of the room.

Being her obnoxious, obtrusive self, Erica dashed over in her loud and unceremonious manner, cackling sinisterly. “Hey, hey! You’re new, right? First year here? All that jazz? I’m Erica. Erica Malledy. But my friends call me Mallard. So you can call me Mallard, ‘cause we’re friends now! What’s your name? Need help with anything?”

She was obviously not asking things in the correct order, but you could tell from how she was fidgeting and scratching at the wall that she really couldn’t care less.

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Aki was used to the noise, given, from the fact of his little group he had back in the day. It was usually filled with lively chatter and teasing but all in good fun, as they were a family. But now, sitting here at this school, it made the memory burst out from his mind and smiled for the first time since he came here. Looking up from the book, his eyes met with an enthusiastic women standing before him. Amused, he laughed quietly to himself as he listened to her ramble on for a few minutes before he was able to get a word in. 

"To answer your questions, yes and my name is Akihiko but call me Aki since we are friends now. He shrugged, still smiling. What is fun around here?" he asked, answering in the order she spoke; as he played along with her. Maybe this place is not bad after all, he thought standing up now to face the girl head on.

The King & The Prince [Aki&Kyo]

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Stopping in the doorway, he turns to the black haired man. He nods his head first before responding. “That’s cool. My name is Akihiko by the way. But please, call me Aki” he answers back. Knowing that Kyo was going the same way as him, he did not respond, leading the rest of the way inside the kitchen itself. Going through the cabinets, he picks up some ingredients he needs for a quick bite to eat. 

[king-kyo]

"Nice to meet you Aki ♪” he chimed, smiling and following after. Once they reached the kitchen, Kyo pulled out the ingredients for a sandwich. 

As he put mayo on the bread, he looked over to Akihiko, “So how are you liking to school so far?”

[the-one-and-only-prince]

After piling up all the stuff that he needed, he began his work. That was then he was able to tune into what the other male had said. He answered with a simple shake of his head in acknowledgement. He was still getting used to talking to another male again. He had not had to do this since highschool, it was like learning all over again. But he had to try. Besides, Kyo seemed like a good guy so he hoped he did not have to worry.

With his meal complete, he turned to face Kyo. He smiled, shaking his head a bit as he recalled an earlier memory. "It's nice so far. I have only met one other person besides you so far but whatever..." he concluded. There was not much more he could do. He would interact more when school started. 

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Why are you called prince?

His lips turn into a small smile, thinking about her. “It’s a long story…” he sighs. “My friend gave me that nickname and it stuck ever since” 

[the-one-and-only-prince]

The King & The Prince [Aki&Kyo]

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Only arriving at the school for a short amount of time, he was able to avoid most people. But as soon as he heard a guy’s voice, he stopped in his tracks to the kitchen and turned around. The guy looked harmless but it was hard to judge at first glance. He gave a warm smile back to the male. “Hello?” he answered back, being polite. 

[king-kyo]

Kyo grinned, glad the gave seemed friendly. “Hey,” he offered his right hand, scratching the back of his head with his left, “I’m Kyo, room next to yours!” he looked the way Aki had been walking, ” I was planning on going to the kitchen myself, and figured it would be cool to make some new friends.”

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Stopping in the doorway, he turns to the black haired man. He nods his head first before responding. "That's cool. My name is Akihiko by the way. But please, call me Aki" he answers back. Knowing that Kyo was going the same way as him, he did not respond, leading the rest of the way inside the kitchen itself.

Looking up from the items in his bag, he put them aside to as, his new roommate,  entering the room. Hesitating at first, he approached the male. “My name is Akihiko, but call me Aki” he responded, smiling.

Neo smiled back being polite “nice to meet you Aki” Neo walked past Akihiko to look at the dull room ” seesh this room is a bore fest I think we need to redecorate it, and fast don’t you? ” Neo said throwing his bags on his bed”

[the-one-and-only-prince]

He nodded his head in response to the other male, not trusting himself to speak. He seemed nice enough, he just did not know the man well enough yet. He laughed. “Yeah, put on our own stylish touch” he agreed. 

[princeofdarkness1]

Neo clapped his hands “Alright! then it’s settled we’ll head to the student store later.” Neo snapped his fingers and his own shadow popped out of the ground and started unpacking for him and a small tattoo appeared on his arm barley visible since his short sleeve covered most of it.

[the-one-and-only-prince]

He smiled at the man’s enthusiasm. But even he agreed that it was a good idea. If they had to live in these dorms, why not make the place your own? Neo had the right idea. Before he was able to voice his thoughts, he watched in surprise as a shadow came out of him and now was in the room with them. “Clever trick” he praised. 

[princeofdarkness1]

Prince: Roomies

Neo looked at Aki "oh that? its nothing special just my mutation shadow controlling and what not, what about you whats your 'talent' " Neo curiously asked as shadow which after finishing unpacking fell back into its place.

[the-one-and-only-prince]

He smiled, looking impressed by the other man. It was an unique power, just like the man before him. He was never quick to judge, but he did know the people that he got along with, and he hoped that he was one of them."Mind manipulation..." he answered, his lips forming a smile at the question. 

[the-one-and-only-prince]

Meeting Again

He had only been at the school for a short time, but he had found that the place had already found its way in his heart. Everyday a red haired girl would wordlessly walk out the classroom. She never really stood out to him before, but after finding out her name, he had became curious. She looked just like his friend from high school, just with a different name. Even her hair was the same. But all that stood between him and finding out, was her. 

Every time he had tried to approach the girl in class, she walked around him and would quietly leave the class. Finally, he had enough of the cold treatment, wanting this to end now. The next day he would isolate her from the exit and talk to her. He was determined to finally talk to her without her, moving away and ignoring him completely. 

The final bell sounded, signaling the end of the school day. The students started shuffling out of the classroom, leaving just the two of them in the room. She was already packing her bags when he approached her. "Excuse me. My name is Aki. Are you Kira?" he asked, trying his best to be polite to her. But she never made it easy. She ignored him at first, shouldering her bag before she stared at him and sighed when he did not leave her alone. "Yes. What do you want?" she asked, sounding almost annoyed. 

He smiled. He finally was able to hear her voice. Ignoring her tone, he spoke again. "I was just curious. You look familiar...." he responded. She stayed quiet and eyed the blonde haired man. "Okay, well i have to go now..." she voiced, starting to leave again. He intercepted her attempt and blocked her. "I was just wondering. Have we met before?" he asked her. Getting annoyed now, she growled under her breathe and sighed. "If I answer will you leave me alone?" she asked. He nodded his head encouragingly. "If you lived in Japan for a while. Otherwise, I don't think so. Now if you will excuse m-" her voice caught off by him grabbing her hand. She glared up at Aki. "What the hell!" she screamed. She was far passed annoyed by now. She was pissed. "I am not just a plaything that you can toss around. Now if you would leave me the fuck alone" she yelled. His hand dropped to his side, realizing what he had done. Shit...he cursed to himself. All he wanted was answers, not being aggressive towards her. He was an idiot. "I am sorry..." he mumbled, apologizing. He bowed softly to the red haired girl. She nodded her head back towards him before walking away. 

The next couple of days, he tried again. It was break time, usually a time where everyone would go around and eat. But instead of gathering with a group of friends, she sat alone eating her meal. It was a weird sight. He could actually imagine her doing this at the high school as well; until his group of friends approached her. Not being as gentlemanly as he could have been yesterday, he wanted to make it up to her. "Kira was it? May I sit down?" he asked her. Taking her silence as a yes, she finally nodded her head before he was able to sit down. "...I did go to school in Japan" he told her, trying to cover up the silence. Confused at first by his words, she remembered their conversation from earlier this week. "Did you say your name was Aki? Like the Aki" she asked. The Aki? That was new to him. "Yes, my name is Akihiko- or Aki" he answered. Her mind was going crazy at the possibility that this could be her Aki. The guy that was apart of her family that she had not seen since so long ago.

"Did you know Angel?" she asked quietly. "How do you know angel?" his voice sounded in an alarm. "She was one of my friends. Before I moved away..." she answered softly. His eyes widened at the realization. Where they talking about the same angel here? "Did she have long, silvery white hair and was blind?" he asked. She respectfully nodded her head. "Was she your childhood friend?" her turn asking questions. he stayed silent for a moment, processing all the information that he had learned by now. This could be his Mitsuhiko. All he had to do now was not screw it up like last time; making her leave. It was his turn to say yes. They seemed to be thinking the same thing at this point: Is this Dark? Or is this prince?

Finally, she spoke the words that he had been waiting for this whole time. "Dark?" he asked, seeing if she had gotten a reaction out of her. Her lips turned upwards for a smile. It felt far too long since she had last heard that nickname. "Prince?" she asked this time. "Oh my god Mitsuhiko!" he yelled, picking up the girl, dropping her bag in the process. Everyone turned their attention to the two but they did not seem to notice. Even if they did, they really did not care at the moment. Instead of surprise, she welcomed the warmth that his hug brought to her. She was home. Finally setting her down, the room grew quiet. "Let's go to the roof" he suggested quietly. She nodded and soon fell quickly behind him. The student's stares burned inside of their minds, as they left the room. As soon they were gone, the two knew that rumors were going to spread. But they were too happy to care at the moment. 

Ducking around the corner, the two made their way up to the blocked roof access and started catching up. "What brought on the name change?" he asked her, wanting to know the travels his friend went through. It had been a long time since either has seen each other after all. It was almost right that he had asked. She shrugged. "I just found it, and it stuck ever since..." she replied indifferent. He laughed, that was the Dark that he knew and loved. Shaking his head, he calmed down before answering. "Where have you been?" he asked after having a quick conversation with himself, he had the courage to ask. She sighed, her smile fading from her lips. "I had to run away. I was not wanted" she answered, short and sweet. Just like her if she would give people more of a chance. "How about you Aki? How is life for you" she asked, changing the subject. he sighed, expecting this out of her. "Fine i guess. I have been doing some traveling myself since then..." he replied. The two grew quiet between them. Kira leaned over the rail of the roof, getting closer to the wind. He silently watched her. So, she still likes the cold I see. That made him smile. She did not change after all; her cold personality still matching her favorite weather.

"It really is good seeing you again Mitski" he added before slipping into the quietness once again.

Roomies

After coming to this place, he already did not like it. It was filled with people like him. But also, it was a dorm: a place for him to stay. He always hated being restricted; being the kind of person that never stays long in one place for too long. 

Sighing, he took his clothes out of his bag and started to unpack, placing his items on his new bed. “I wonder who my roommate is…” he thought aloud. 

Neo walked toward his dorm “Oh this place just looks exactly like the others” Neo tried his best to reach his dorm without having to meet anyone but once he got near he heard someone else in his room “oh great…might as well say hi now” he thought to himself.

"Apparently that would be me" Neo walked in to the room and looked at his new room mate trying to figure out what kind of person his roommate is "My names Nero, Whats yours?"
