A/N: My hatred burns hotter every single day. Looks like it's time to write until I get bored. Also, if you're not cool with the age difference, that's ok. I don't know if I want to make this just one sided or not but hey, crack pairings gonna crack. No one betas this either. I correct mistakes at random. A typo you see may be gone 2 years later.
Inspired by the manga backstory.
AnD: Anise and Dist
How paycheck is HOW much?!
Oracle knight headquarters was as dreary as ever. But one thing was for sure, lunch time was always the most liveliest when Anise and Dist sat together. The other soldiers had watched in awe as the new, young guardian sat at the same table as the god general. Dist the Reaper, who for over eight years sat alone in the same empty spot by a potted plant. Word had spread of the other rejected Fon Master guardians bullying the girl, and Dist enhancing a raggedy doll into a hulking yet cute weapon.
They argued, they ate in tense silence (before Dist began rambling 100 miles a minute of his past) and there were even times when the God General would actually listen to what the younger girl said. Though the Oracle Knights were sure they had been at their loudest when Dist revealed his state of income.
It wasn't exactly a secret that Dist was probably one of the most well paid people in the entire army. He had medicinal, scientific and technological experience that was among the best in the world, if questionable in practice.
"Buy with that kind of money, you could be the king of your own country if you wanted!" Anise exclaimed.
Dist flipped his hair. "I could, but I'm not interested in that sort of thing. Besides, beauty like this doesn't just come cheap. I mean, I am quite naturally beautiful but I must take care to keep it up. You see, I've made my own shampoo mix to keep my hair absolutely soft as silk at all times and you will not believe how hard it is to find the perfect lipstick. And it takes a lot of time and effort to mix just the right shade of red. This one time I-"
Anise had long stopped listening and was having trouble seeing past visions of mansions, hundreds of expensive dresses, and gald raining from the sky. She had ruled out Dist as a possible husband candicate upon their first meeting, but she was seriously re-considering.
"-and that's how I got blood off of my favorite white gloves."
"But, you've gotta have absurd amounts of gald right?"
"Well, yes. My research is also quite pricey as well. Fontech doesn't come cheap after all. Why, when I was in the middle of an experiment-"
The man didn't seem to notice that Anise wasn't even paying attention to his long rants. They had gone back and forth with Dist ranting, Anise squealing then daydreaming. The gong signaling break was over rang throughout the mess hall and many of the soldiers groaned. Both Anise and Dist's plates had been mostly untouched. Though hunger was the last thing on Anise's mind and, as usual Dist's mind was only on himself.
To the other Oracle Knights, they were possibly the oddest pair imaginable, but they fit together as outcasts and oddballs alike.
