Predators plus One Prey
Gilbert Beilschmidt was hyper as the day of his birthday got closer and closer. He already has seen others gain their animal traits and he really couldn't wait. I can see myself being a wolf, fox, or a coyote. The albino only had to wait one more day and then he would finally know. It was so much fun picking on Roderich with his dog tail and he had a natural knack for avoiding him after awhile. Then again he would usually be hit over the head by Elizaveta with a frying pan. Only because I said she looked like a guy when she was younger. He was also the last one of his year to finally find out his traits too. Roderich was an Austrian Pinscher, Elizaveta was a Mudi, and Ivan (gott did he really hate that man), was a Siberian Brown Bear. That damn Russian wasn't going to be beat me in the animal department. He would make sure of that. That was why he really couldn't wait to see what he would be because it was so interesting to see the different animals. Even the people who were a year older than him had interesting animals. Arthur, Field Spaniel, Kiku, Akita, Antonio was a Selkirk Rex, Francis was a Chateux, and Katyusha was a Kamchatka. He felt kind of bad for Katyusha having to deal with the stupid Russian as a younger brother because she had such big assets that Ivan wouldn't let anyone near. Not that he tried, he knew where to stop the line but of course his friend Francis was the one who learned and was the best example of not to fuck with the Ivan's sisters.
"Bruder, you better not be planning on doing anything stupid tomorrow." stated Ludwig, his brother who seemed to be his third parent since he was like a watchdog at school.
"What would make you think I would do anything stupid?" Gilbert asked smirking as he crossed his arms. He wasn't already thinking of how many ways he could take down the Russian just by showing him his awesome animal traits.
Ludwig shook his head glaring at him. "Gilbert, I swear, if you do anything tomorrow…" he began warning him.
"Cool it West." Gilbert smiled patting his back but then the brothers froze as a dark aura came over them.
"Privet comrades." smiled Ivan walking up from behind him.
I fucking hate this creeper! Gilbert growled turning around crossing his arms. "We are not comrades and we will never be anything more than enemies." he declared grabbing Ludwig's arm to get away from him.
A hand was placed on his shoulder nearly moving the meaning of 'a cold shoulder' to a new level. "Da! You are going to be having your animal traits tomorrow?" asked Ivan not even caring that the smaller man was trying to get out of his grip.
"Yeah and I'm going to have the best ever tail and ears!" he snapped finally getting free.
"I cannot wait comrade~." Ivan smiled widely at him taking his leave.
"Gilbert, you can't fight a bear." stated Ludwig walking along side his bruder.
"Yes I fucking can because I'm Awesome!" Gilbert declared smiling widely at his bruder.
He better not be getting in any trouble tomorrow.
The first thing Gilbert did was jump from his bed, run to his bathroom, and check the mirror really expecting to see his ears. He was disappointed though seeing nothing new and frowned. When the hell are they supposed to come? Gilbert glared at his reflection and went back to lie on his bed. It may be his birthday but he wasn't going to school until he got to find out his animal.
It wasn't until about three days past his birthday that Ludwig was fed up with his complaints and dragged the albino to school. "I don't care if you still don't have your ears, you'll have to deal with it and go to school or you'll get in trouble." Gilbert was limp behind the blonde being a hundred percent dragged. His bruder even had to set him up in his chair but didn't care if he didn't even make the effort to lift his head up. Ludwig rolled his eyes and walked back to his class.
Ivan walked into the classroom only having only a couple classes with his very interesting and rather cute classmate. He blinked as he saw the albino but what really threw him off was the fact he still had no animal characteristics. "Privet Gilbert." he said moving inside the classroom wondering if something just happened or if he was lying about his birth date so he could finally prove to everyone that his animal is just too 'awesome'.
Gilbert twitched knowing that it was Ivan and he didn't want to talk to him because all he would do was make fun him for not getting his ears and tail. Why didn't mine grow in because my birthday is January 18th so why? He was so confused and his parents were gone for the whole month so he couldn't ask anything from them. It could be something else that maybe his animal was too unique. That has to be it or I'm just too Awesome.
The Russian began poking the smaller teen in the head lightly wondering if he might've died. He seemed to be breathing so he couldn't be dead… yet. "Gilbert~." he tried again smiling a little as he continued to pester him.
"What?" finally asked Gilbert sitting up to look at him with a smirk. That's it; I'm so Awesome that my ears and tail don't come in at the same time as everyone else's.
Ivan blinked not realizing what made him go from slumping to overjoyed in seconds. "Da, you do not have ears or a cute tail." he stated looking back at his ass without even trying to cover it up. His older sister always said he was too forward but he didn't notice it most of the time when he was doing something wrong.
Gilbert jumped away from him glaring. "I don't have a fucking tail so don't look back there you fucking pervert!" he yelled. This guy is such an idiot!
"But I would like to see what kind of cute tail you would have da." he stated standing up straight looking down at Gilbert. The albino swallowed slowly knowing that messing with the Russian probably wasn't the smartest idea but he hated how this guy acted all innocent like when it was clearly obvious he wasn't! "So then what made your tail stay in hiding?" Ivan asked simply looking him over.
"It's not in hiding…" he growled crossing his arms just wanting to hit this guy and get it over with. Gilbert was lucky enough not to be in the principal's office every other day if it wasn't for what his bruder would do to him if he didn't stay behaved. Especially now that he skipped a couple days of school for sulking even though he had every right too. He'll understand when it's his time. "I'm just too Awesome to have my tail and ears come in at the same time as everyone else." Gilbert stated smiling widely.
Ivan lost some of his smile as he said that because even he knew Gilbert bragged a lot and he really wanted to see what animal he would be. "Aww, poor Gilly won't be having a cute tail and ears." he nearly cried suddenly pulling Gilbert into, literally, a bear hug.
Gilbert twitched wanting to get free because one thing was for sure, the strength of the bear was passed onto him and he really didn't need that. He kicked and even punched at Ivan trying to desperately get him to let go but only did once other classmates began arriving. "About fucking time." he snarled getting back into his desk.
The teacher walked in last as usual and looked over at Gilbert ready to hand him the guide to find what animal he was since he turned thirteen but upon seeing no ears he didn't do anything other than start class normally. His friends, Francis and Antonio luckily sat near him so he didn't have to pass notes or text. He looked at them as they surveyed what was supposed to be a friend who finally matured enough to learn his animal. "Mon ami~, what happened?" Francis asked looking concerned as he patted his friend's head.
"I don't know, all I can think of is that I'm too Awesome to get my ears and tail when everyone else does." he boasted sitting a little straighter as Antonio gave him a death hug.
"Mi amigo I just hope you're not going to be a lower prey!" exclaimed Antonio holding onto his friend tightly. Gilbert felt his air supply getting cut off but looked at the Spaniard hearing him say the words 'lower prey'.
Lower prey only came around so often but it was always said their lives were the worst because everyone else would be chasing them down. Apparently not in the good way because some people can't control their animal instincts at times and sometimes hurt the lower prey. The category of lower prey was anything lower than cat pretty much. In this part of the country dogs and cats pretty much rule the area but with some transfer students bears have become known. Since the bears have come into the picture the teachers and adults have become more wary toward anyone that might have the potential of lower prey.
The trio shivered remembering one of the many conversations they heard from when they were spying on the teachers that the last of the lower prey that was born many years ago went missing soon after graduation. There was a rumor that he just went to the grocery store and never came back. Hell they even said he never made it to the grocery store. Remembering that story actually unsettled the albino because he really didn't want to be caught up in the mess of that. He was a trouble maker but that seemed even more trouble than what he could stand! Gilbert though believed his friends and definitely his bruder would help him out if that were to somehow magically happen. Well maybe not Francis as much because that was the biggest pervert you will ever meet in the school. The next one would be Ivan because he may look innocent but that just had to be a front to lure you in. Gott I hate that man I just want to…
"Antonio, Francis, Gilbert! Pay attention!" the teacher yelled at them making them sit straight in their chairs before leaning over their desks to 'work'.
"Don't worry Gil, we'll watch over you just in case!" assured Francis smiling at him quickly.
"You can count on us~!" cheered Antonio.
"I won't be lower prey because I'm just that fucking Awesome!" declared Gilbert glaring at his friends but inside was very happy to know that he already had two people on his side just in case. He looked around the room surprised no one else was asking him questions but at the same time was happy they weren't. They know I'm just too Awesome!
Hmm… first chapter and I'm making this for a friend, Akaixtsumi, go check her out~. Anyway, it took me awhile to start this because I wanted to introduce the world right and I also wanted to have some concern and mystery. I hope I did a good job and you guys actually like the story. Reviews are greatly appreciated~.
