Rui Amane.
Rui was pretty much alright with the way things were.
Having an 'evil' Alice, working in the Dangerous Abilities class, being gay... strangely enough, Rui didn't really mind any of that now. He supposed he was getting used to it. And really, none of it was anything too bad.
He had gotten used to life with the Dangerous Abilities a long time ago. Having been stuck there for so many years, well, that might have been expected. He had reached the point where he almost enjoyed the missions the school forced him on - and if truth be told, he enjoyed using his Alice too. As sadistic as it was, he enjoyed that feeling of power, of pain, of knowing that he could hold someone captive within a dark cloud of curses, and he revelled in it.
Not surprisingly, other people didn't exactly like his Curse Alice. Rui might have cared about this years ago, but now - it was nothing new. He'd lived with hate his whole life - from his parents, from his classmates, the cute boys in the year below - and it was just another thing he'd simply gotten used to. The endless name-calling, the dirty looks, the heavy blame-filled silence as his presence interrupted another conversation, the whispers behind his turned back... none of it fazed him any more. He just grinned and played along.
In some ways, he was truly grateful for it. If people didn't give him a chance, then he damn well couldn't take it. And if they already hated him at the beginning, it really didn't matter to him if he reinforced that opinion. All those things that he would have otherwise been scared to do; well, what did that matter now?
So he put his mark on Tsubasa and the rest, made sure they knew exactly how he felt about them, tortured whoever the Academy ordered him to, giggled at all of their pain and their pleading... it felt like freedom. And what was more, he still had friends - those others like him forced into the Dangerous Abilities class. Hayate the joker, Hajime always there for anyone, Natsume the grumpy rebel, Nobara almost like a sweet little sister... like family.
So yes, he was alright with it, really. No, more than that: he was happy with it.
If there was one thing that Rui was, completely and utterly, it was true to himself.

A/N: I love the DA class so here are some drabbles. I personally think they're all rather dark characters (however much Rui might be in love with Tsubasa, he has no qualms about torturing him through a punishment mark to molest him or whatever) who deserve some attention.
