His First Impression

Chapter One: He Did It For The Cake

Týr is a fifteen year old transfer student from Iceland. He has moved here, to America, with his brother Tore and said brother's boyfriend Mathias. It has been a month now, but he's still pretty much alone. No new friends to really mention, except for a guy from Turkey named Sadiq Adnan. He isn't even a student. They just met one day in town at the library, Sadiq was getting a bunch of books on cats for his boyfriend. The two bonded over random things; Sadiq is very outgoing.

There is one person worse than him, one person who annoys and confuses the heck out of him. He is just so serious all the time. Týr sits next to him in their classes and the boy will just stare intently at the black board, writing down a bunch of notes in Cantonese. Who is this boy, you ask? His name is Kaoru Wang. Or Wang Kaoru, or however it works. Týr doesn't pay attention and America always…Americanizes people's names. It's what this country does.

Anyways, this Kaoru guy really annoys him. Granted, Týr himself is a nerd, and a loner…and pretty much everything else he is…Actually, when Týr really thinks about it, he can't think of an actual reason as to why he hates Kaoru. No wait, Týr does have a reason. Kaoru has a very close and warm family. His cousins are all like brothers to him, more loving and open than Týr's actual brother is to him. It's not that he wants that, it would be weird since he wasn't raised with it, but the fact that Kaoru is never alone would be nice to have.

The only person Týr has is Tore, and he's busy with his boyfriend Mathias all the time now, leaving Týr on his own most of the time. He can hang out with Sadiq occasionally, but even Sadiq is busy with his boyfriend. Then there are their neighbors, Tino and Berwald and their kid Peter. But, of course, Tino and Berwald are busy with Peter, and Peter is far too young for Týr to hang out with. At least for extended amounts of time. Týr's family is distant. Loving, but distant. Kaoru is so lucky.

Týr sighs sadly and looks next to him at Kaoru, dawned in glasses and writing intently in his notebook. Like usual. What is Týr doing? Drawing in his notebook, of course. Doodles of puffins, his brother and said brother's boyfriend, their neighbors, Sadiq and his boyfriend Heracles, pretty much everything he's thinking about. Which means he even drew…oh shit. Týr looks down at his notebook in horror to see he has drawn a pretty detailed picture of Kaoru. He wasn't even looking at him. How is that possible? He quickly goes to turn the page, but freezes in shock when he sees Kaoru now eyeing the paper. Shit.

"…That's a pretty good drawing." Kaoru says in his normal blank tone and Týr just sits there, frozen in silence. "Class is so boring you have to draw your classmate?" The brunette asks dully and Týr turns back to his notebook, turning the page and making sure not to say a word. He feels Kaoru's eyes on him for another minute before the brunette adjusts his glasses with a finger and returns to his notes. Týr continues to freak out in his head for a few minutes until a question suddenly rises in the back of his mind.

…Since when did Kaoru speak…?

After school:

Týr heads out of the building and sees Mathias and Tore. "Ah, Týr…we have a club meeting to go to. Sorry." Tore says, his normally apathetic expression showing signs of guilt, and Týr shrugs. "Its fine, I'm going to the diner down the road anyways. I've been craving strawberry shortcake…" His brother nods and pats him on the head before heading off with Mathias.

Týr heads off to the diner, images of strawberry shortcake dancing around in his head and making his stomach growl. He enters the diner and feels his left eye twitch slightly. The whole place is full, booths, tables, even the stools in the front. Before he can think about it any further, one of the waitresses comes up, smiling happily. "Hey there, cutie! We are full, but if you'd like I can seat you with someone sitting alone in the booths over there!" She says, pointing past the crowded people and at the booths. Týr can't see the one she's talking about, but shrugs and nods anyways.

The girl practically skips as she leads him over to the booth. The only thing Týr can see of the other person is brunette hair as she asks the person if they would mind. After they shake their head no, she leads him to sit across from them and Týr freezes in horror. Sitting across from him, blankly staring at him is Kaoru. Of ALL the people in town, it's Kaoru. Týr tries to go through his memories to find a time when he pissed off god. Because really, that is the only explanation he can think of for this.

"So what would you like, cutie~?" The waitress asks and Týr looks up at her. "A slice of strawberry shortcake." She smiles at him even brighter. "Sweets for the sweet, huh~? Coming right up!" She bounces off and Týr looks at the door. He could get it to go, but he really doesn't want to be home alone for long. It's just getting depressing now. He then scans the diner again to see if anyone else is alone and, as it turns out, not a SINGLE table doesn't have at least two people at it. Whatever he did to piss of god must've been pretty damn bad. "You're pretty jumpy." Kaoru mumbles, bringing Týr's attention back over to him. "…" The brunette sighs and looks around. "So you are only getting a snack? It isn't good to have something to eat with nothing to drink." He says before bringing his gaze back to lock with Týr's. "…Can't afford a drink…" Týr practically whispers.

"I see…well…you can have some of mine." Kaoru says, holding his glass out, and Týr feels his face heat up a little. "N-no…thanks…" The brunette smirks a little. "We're both boys, I don't have cooties." Týr rolls his eyes. "Cooties are lice, which live in both male and female hair. Besides, they rarely inhabit the hair of anyone past middle school." Kaoru looks at him silently for a moment before speaking up again. "So you really are a nerd…" Týr twitches, contemplating just leaving. But he really wants that cake. And he really doesn't want to go home. Fuck.

"You're one to talk. Every day, in every class, you are staring at the black board and writing notes like crazy in Cantonese." The platinum blonde teen points out, feeling a little victorious. Until Kaoru looks at him blankly. "I'm not taking notes…" Týr looks at him confused. "Then…what are you doing?" "Just writing. Sometimes songs, other times stories, occasionally I write about how bored I am or how much the class sucks…" Kaoru answers, leaning back in the booth and taking a sip of his drink. "And you can't say anything, either. I see you drawing in every class. Even drawing me…quite well, might I add. Amazing it was all from memory." Týr stares at him. "…How do you know it was from memory?"

Kaoru sets his drink back down and locks eyes with Týr, his face still annoyingly blank. "Because I was watching you, Týr. You were deep in thought and just drawing random people. I'm guessing the people you were thinking about? I'm honored to be in your thoughts…I guess…" Týr sits back against his part of the booth and looks at Kaoru apathetically. "Don't watch me, it's weird." Kaoru shrugs. "Then don't draw me." "Then don't sit next to me." Týr counters and Kaoru rolls his eyes. "Then don't look at ME, Týr." He says and Týr frowns a little. "Then don't be so weird."

Kaoru looks at him confused. "…How am I any weirder than you?" Týr looks away. "Your big glasses and what I thought was nerdiness…" Kaoru crosses his arms, his face still blank, but his body language screaming annoyed. "Aren't you a nerd as well, Týr?" "Well…yes…but…my nerdiness doesn't distract me." Týr says and Kaoru raises a brow, now amused. "Ohh? So I distract you?" the smaller teen tenses up a little. "No-I meant-…" "Hello boys~! Here's your cake!" The waitress sets down the food and Kaoru looks at her. "Can we get two straws?" Her and Týr look at him confused. "We will be sharing a drink." He explains and she looks at him even more confused as Týr just rolls his eyes. "He can't afford on for himself." Kaoru explains again and her eyes light up. "Then how about this; you go on a date with me and I'll get you a drink myself~?" She asks and Týr quickly answers. "I'll share with Kaoru."

The girl looks away indignantly. "Hmph! Fine, if you're into men that's JUST. FINE." Týr shakes his head. "I'm not into men, but I'm not into you, either." The girl huffs and stomps off. "…That was kind of mean." Kaoru says in his normal monotone way, but Týr notices an amused look in his eyes. "Then why are you so amused?" The brunette looks at him surprised. "…How can you even tell…?" Týr shrugs as he cuts off a piece of his cake. "It's obvious." He states before eating, a small smile coming to his lips.

"Who would have thought you'd be a sweets fan?" Kaoru teases and Týr ignores him, enjoying his cake. The waitress returns with two straws and quickly stomps off. "You really were unnecessarily mean to her." Kaoru says as he drops the straws into his glass and offers it to Týr. The smaller teen stares at it for a second before taking it and drinking. His eyes widen a little, it's the same strange drink combination he always gets. He shakes his head before looking over at Kaoru. "She has been harassing me every time I come here. It's been since I moved here a month ago. I've let her down kindly but she doesn't take the hint. It isn't my fault." Týr points out and Kaoru shrugs. "I guess you're too cute for your own good then.

The smaller teen blushes, looking at him surprised. "Did you just call me cute…?" Kaoru locks his eyes with the boy's. "If the shoe fits." "…" Týr silently goes to eating his cake, staring at it intently. "You don't have any friends here yet, do you?" Kaoru asks and Týr shrugs, still eating. "So you aren't doing anything after this, right?" Týr nods silently. "Well then…why don't we go to the park?" Kaoru offers and Týr looks at him confused, setting his fork down. "…The park?"

The brunette nods. "Yes, the park. Have a problem with that?" Týr thinks for a minute. "Don't you? I mean…shouldn't you be going home to spend time with your family?" Kaoru rolls his eyes. "That isn't all I do, you know. I do far more than hang out with my family…it's just that most of those things are done alone." Týr sighs and gets his money out, having finished his cake. "Fine, let's go." They both reach for the drink, leaning towards it at the same time before jumping back. "U-um…you can drink first." Kaoru says and Týr nods awkwardly, taking one last drink before handing it back to Kaoru.

After paying at the cash register, they head off to the park. Seeing all the swings full, Kaoru grabs Týr's sleeve and leads him over to those animal things on springs. Kaoru sits on the one in the shape of a panda and Týr chooses the one shaped like a horse next to it. "…Kaoru…" Týr mumbles, getting the brunettes attention. "Hm?" "…What's the name of these things…?" He asks and Kaoru looks up at him. "Oh…that's easy. They are…" A contemplative look comes to Kaoru's face. "They…are…ummm…uuuummm…" He pulls out his iPod and looks it up quickly. "…They don't have a name."

Týr looks down at the toy in shock. "They don't have a name? That's a shame…they're one of my favorite things…" Kaoru nods. "We should name them." The smaller teen looks at him curiously. "We should? Why should we?" The brunette shrugs. "Who else will?" "…A play ground equipment company…?" Týr offers and Kaoru smiles a little. "Touché." "Indeed." They both fall silent for a minute. "Whatever it's called it has to have to word springy or bouncy in it…" Kaoru says and Týr nods. "Naturally…hhmmm…" They fall into another silence before Týr suddenly perks up. "I have an idea." "Care to share it with the class?" Kaoru asks and Týr looks at him annoyed. "Smart ass." "People love my ass, thank you very much." The brunette says and Týr rolls his eyes. "YOU love your ass."

Kaoru looks over at him, a strange light in his eyes. "No, I love YOUR ass." Týr lets out a small gasp and falls off the animal, making Kaoru snicker. "N-not funny! I was trying to tell you something, jerk…" The smaller teen says, pouting as he gets back onto the toy horse. "My apologies. I couldn't resist…your ass." Kaoru says, almost making Týr fall again, but the boy holds on determined. "B-bouncy buddies…" Týr mumbles and Kaoru snickers. "I think that would work better for boobs than asses." The smaller teen twitches and hits his shoulder. "Stop thinking about asses, pervert. I'm talking about the unnamed playground equipment we are currently on." Kaoru smiles a little. "I see…my apologies, that actually works well."

Týr looks at him curiously. "You really think so?" "Yes, from now on we shall call them bouncy buddies." Kaoru says and Týr smiles a little. "…Cool." The brunette's eyes widen. "…So you can smile…?" Týr frowns again. "You really aren't funny Kaoru…" "Says you." "Says everyone, Kaoru." The smaller teen points out and Kaoru laughs a little. "No one talks about me, Týr. No one but you and family notice me." He says and Týr frowns. "…No one…?" "But family and you, yes…what's with that face? Don't feel sorry for me or I'll have to push you off your bouncy buddy." Kaoru warns and Týr find himself laughing. "Huh…? Why are you laughing?" The brunette asks surprised and Týr looks over at him, still laughing. "It isn't very intimidating when 'bouncy buddy' is including in the threat." Kaoru looks at him blankly for a second before joining him in his laughter. "I guess not."

Ok, so maybe Kaoru isn't THAT bad…

A/N: Bouncy Buddies was an idea me and my friend came up with when we were chatting because we were APPAULED at the fact it has no name. SSSHHHAAAMMME. Anyways, just an idea that popped into my head. So...that makes...four stories I'm making right now. XD I LIKE A CHALLENGE! Hong Kong and Iceland need more love.
