Hey everybody! Just trying out an idea here. I recently watched an anime called Karneval and wanted to try out one of my OTPs from the series. A little background info from the anime, Nai is a man-made boy from experiments mixing a magical creature and human DNA. Gareki is the young man who finds Nai after they both get attacked by a human woman who turns into a monster. They meet up with a crime fighting organization called Circus, and are taken into the second ship in the force. That's all I'm going to say for now. If you guys are interested in finding out more, I suggest you check out the anime. It's a really good one in my opinion. But that's just me.
Moving on, we shall now kick off our tale of Spring Fever! Hope you guys enjoy this and just an fyi, it will be a shorter story than my others. Reading START!
"Nai?" Gareki called out as he came in through the entrance portal on the ship.
"Welcome back," said one of the robot security lambs on the ship. Gareki gave the greeting that was the code to get in as he went over to a boy with white hair and red eyes. The boy jumped up from the floor happily, and dashed towards the taller black haired boy.
"Gareki!" the boy called out happily as he hugged his friend.
"I'm back. You been good for Yogi and them?"
"Mhmm~," the boy said happily as he ran ahead into the common room.
"Gareki-kun! Welcome back!" Yogi called with his usual annoying smile. Gareki just nodded his head in response, and proceeded to remove his jacket.
"So how was your first mission as a Circus member?" Yogi asked as the young man took a seat on an empty couch. Nai soon joined him, and looked at Gareki in expectation.
"It wasn't all that hard. Once I got used to my assigned weapon during training, varuga aren't much of a problem anymore," the dark eyed male said lightly as he smiled gently at his friend, and pet his head. Nai hummed in pleasure and cuddled closer to Gareki in response. Yogi just looked at the pair of friends with mild curiosity.
"Has Nai always done that?"
"Huh?"
"He seems to be acting a little, strange today."
"...Strange how?"
"Well this morning he snapped at Tsukumo-chan out of nowhere. And when you left, he sat by the entrance the whole time and didn't even come to lunch."
"Nai, you haven't eaten yet?"
Red eyes met black in confusion.
"I did eat. The sheep brought food."
"Oh! Now I get it. So he did eat. That's a relief...but that doesn't explain why you snapped at Tsukumo-chan this morning."
"She said mean words about Gareki."
"And so you defended my honor. Heheh. See now Yogi, he wasn't acting weird at all."
"I guess not..." But why is he so close to Gareki-kun? He's clinging much more than usual...But then again, Gareki-kun did just join us two days ago after four long years down below. Maybe Nai-kun was really lonely without him...Yogi's mind kept running in circles over Nai's behavior, just before they got a call to action.
"Gareki, Yogi, Tsukumo, a varuga was spotted in the forest headed towards the city. Get it before it can get any humans," Hirato said as he walked into the room with Tsukumo in tow.
"Hai!" the three said simultaneously as they dashed to the portal. Nai was about to go after them, when Hirato pulled him back and dragged him all the way to his and Gareki's room. The boy looked at his captain in confusion, before the man smiled wryly and slammed the door shut. When the hybrid tried to open the door, he found it was locked and began to panic.
"Hirato open the door," the silver haired male called out as he began to pound into the wood.
"You need to stay here Nai. You've been acting a bit too oddly, so I shall keep you here until they return. Then we'll have the doctor look at you. So stay here and calm down for now. I shall return when they start heading ba-"
"Gareki!" Nai shouted suddenly as his overly sensitive ears picked out Gareki's cry of pain. The boy went into panic mode, and began to beat the door repeatedly. The second ship's captain tried to brace the door with all his might, but a panicked, wild eyed Nai was too strong to deal with. The boy slammed the door open on Hirato, knocking the man unconscious. The white haired boy dashed down the hall to the portal, and was instantly transported to the battle field where Gareki lay hurt as Tsukumo and Yogi barely contained a truly insane varuga.
The female varuga turned it's attention to the new arrival and charged after him. However, Nai managed to dodge her by running slightly faster towards the older boy as his panic continued to grow.
"Gareki!" they hybrid called out as he slid into a crouch before the young man.
"Nai? What are you doing here?"
"Gareki is hurt!"
As soon as Nai said this, the dark eyed male understood what had happened. But how the hell did he get out of the bedroom? Just as Gareki thought this, the varuga launched a new attack, her focus still on the smaller male. The white haired boy picked up on the varuga, and turned a completely malicious glare towards it. The monster stopped in its tracks at the sight of red eyes boiling over with flames of raw anger. The creature began to back away as Nai stood and approached the it. Soon it was an all out chase between the younger man and the varuga, as he ran the monster right into the trap Yogi and Tsukumo had set. The hybrid pulled out just in time as vines shot out of the ground, and trapped the varuga in place.
The Tsukumo delivered the finishing blow by cutting off the monster's head with a well placed blow from one of the Yogi's blades. The varuga, having been defeated, vaporized into nothing as Nai turned around and ran back to Gareki.
"Gareki, are you ok?" the smaller male asked with concern. The dark haired male just looked up and smiled gently at the boy, as he stood up and hugged him. Nai couldn't take it and began to cry in relief over the safety of his friend.
Well this is where I will stop for now. Can't wait to show you guys the rest of the story. But for now adieu! And I look forward to hearing from you guys! Peace! (^o^)V
