Disclaimer: I don't own D.Gray-man, although I really want to. What I do own is my male OC and any other characters not originally in the series. This chapter is set before Allen's first mission in the manga series.
Warning: Kinda AU, MaleOC x Allen (eventual), and this is my first time writing a DGM fic, so there is a possibility of OOC moments. If anyone can point that out for me, I'll fix it in later chapters and edit them when I'm finished…if, actually. oo;
It was a sunny spring day and it was quite peaceful. Birds sang their hearts out, trying their best to get a mate. Fluffy clouds dotted the sky here and there, but there were no signs of a storm approaching. Most people would be out enjoying the lovely weather, unless they were working for the Black Order. A tower located on a mountain-like island is the base for those in the Order. Exorcists and scientists call it their home, but some do not. It is here, in the base of the Black Order that the story begins…
"Aniki, I hope you haven't been over-working," A voice cut through the rustling of papers as the science team sorted through random documents. They all looked up to see who had called and either waved or called out a greeting to the Exorcist standing in the doorway. The Exorcist waved back to the scientists and walked over to a sleeping Komui Li, the supervisor of the science department.
"Aniiiiiikiiiiii," The Exorcist said as he waved a hand in front of Komui's face. His ruby red eyes sparkled like embers in the low light and his shaggy, fiery red hair fell just above his shoulders. Rolling his eyes, the Exorcist whispered something in Komui's ear, waking the supervisor up instantly with a random invention in his hand.
"Oh! Sirius! What did you want?" Komui asked as he put his invention away. The Exorcist, Sirius, just sighed and gave his "brother" a small smile. Apparently, something was wrong as the redhead shifted his weight slightly.
"Well, it's my Innocence. Its been acting very strange lately and…" Sirius didn't bother finishing his sentence as Komui had beaten him to it. Sometimes the redhead wondered how Komui picked up on these things, but decided he really didn't want to know. There are times when it's a good thing to be blissfully ignorant.
"Say no more! You shall have as long as you need for your Innocence to stop its strange behavior!" The Supervisor stated as he put a seal on a random document. Sirius thanked his "brother" and left the room. A few of the scientists gave him quizzical looks, but he ignored them. Sirius didn't want a lot of people to know about his problem.
Sirius walked through the silent and desolate hallways leading to the rooms for the Exorcists. His thoughts wandered as his subconscious led him back to his room. Not really watching where he was going, the sixteen-year-old managed to bump into someone around his height. The result of the unexpected confrontation was both of them on their butts on the ground. Sirius recovered from the fall quicker than the other and took his time in trying to identify the person.
The person was male with an almost feminine look to his face and body. His hair was snow white and his left eye appeared to have been cursed. Both of the teen's eyes were moonlight silver and wore the customary uniforms all Exorcists were expected to wear. He appeared to be about fifteen-years-old and as skinny as the snow-haired teen was, it was obvious that he had Parasitic Type Innocence. Sirius figured that the Innocence had fused with the teen's left hand, since a glove covered it. All in all, the teen wasn't all that bad to look at.
"Sorry!" He said to Sirius as the two stood up. His silver eyes had a sincere look in them and the redhead couldn't help but believe the teen. Sirius had a feeling that the snow-haired teen was new to the Black Order, since the redhead had never seen him before. He smiled at the silver-eyed Exorcist good-naturedly.
"No problem! I wasn't paying attention, so it's really my fault!" Sirius replied in a cheerful voice. His ruby eyes sparkled with cheer and that seemed to have reassured the silver-eyed teen. Before they could say any more on the matter, Sirius's "sister" walked in. Rinali spotted Sirius and before the redhead knew it, she had latched onto his arm as though it were a lifeline.
"Rinaaaaaaaaaaa! My arm is not meant to be used as a lifeline!" The red-haired Exorcist told Rinali with a slight whine inserted into his voice. Rinali just gave him a giggle in response before relinquishing her hold on the now-freed arm. She then put her hands on her hips and acquired a scolding look on her face.
"Sirius Andromeda McKinnon! You should be resting up, so get to your room!" Rinali scolded as she grabbed his wrist, intent on dragging him to his room. Sirius just sighed as he followed his "sister" to his room, but not before waving good-bye to the snow-haired teen.
"Later Snow Hair!" Sirius called instinctively, not realizing what he had said until the two Exorcists had entered his room. The redhead's room looked just like everyone else's except with a bigger bed. It also had photos of his family hanging up randomly on the wall. On his nightstand sat only one picture that was of his twin brother and himself together in a field. Unfortunately, his brother wasn't compatible with Innocence so he was forced to stay in Ireland with the rest of his family. Sirius hadn't heard from them since he'd joined the Black Order.
"'Snow Hair?' You don't usually call someone that unless you…" Rinali didn't finish her sentence because of the withering look her "brother" had shot her. Sirius just shrugged his shoulders and said that he was kinda tired. Taking the hint, Rinali left his room and left Sirius alone.
Why did I call him Snow Hair? I've only just met him! Sirius thought to himself as he lied down on his bed, thinking over his day. Well, that was only half of the truth. He was really thinking about his Innocence and the snow-haired Exorcist. His Innocence was changing and Sirius could feel it inside of him. It was painful and it made sleeping very hard, but there was nothing he could do about his Innocence.
He had pretty eyes…He suddenly thought as he imagined the snow-haired Exorcist. Sirius shook his head from such thoughts, telling himself that he was just setting himself up for heartbreak. With those thoughts in mind, Sirius drifted off into a fitful sleep. His dreams were filled with pain and the sensation of being enveloped in fire.
