A whole new fanfic, found while I was digging through my old computer stuff O This is the first bit. I think I'll definitely continue with this one. Enjoy!
Dominic and Adrian were inseparable. Everywhere they went, these two were constantly – no, always – cemented together like bricks in a wall, whether it was the park, the playground, the sandpit, whatever.
The kindergarten headmistress had a little moan about it on Parent/Teacher Evening. "There's just no pulling them apart. Dominic's performance in work and play is always cut off by distractions from Adrian – making him always want to do something utterly different and original from the current activity."
But Mrs Parker merely smiled. "Well, then I'm proud of my little DJ."
Dominic's mother was right to be proud; the strong friendship between the two little boys seemed to help balance their priorities and skills out. Dominic would help the smaller and more timid Adrian to be more confident in some activities, whilst Adrian could gently push along the boisterous Dominic in quiet working, especially Art. Dominic often became frustrated when he tried to draw or paint. Adrian, being an exceptionally good artist at the tender age of four and a half, would teach his best friend how to hold the paint brush right and how to blend colours.
"I wish I was a great drawer like you, Adrian," Dominic sighed one day as they sat together in the corner at an Art easel.
His crossbreed friend smiled and nudged him playfully. "Sometimes I wish I were good at music like you, instead of drawing."
Like Adrian, Dominic also had his superior talents at that very young kindergarten stage. Already the little Scion could play simple tunes on a recorder, was experimenting with the ukulele, and was learning how to play the piano for the very first time. This was how he had earned his musical nickname DJ, given to him by his loving and supportive parents.
"He gets it from his mother's strong rims, don't ya, Deej?" said Mr Parker as he gave his son a friendly rub on the roof.
"Oh Rick, I'm not THAT good at the piano," Mrs Parker would then giggle back, and the Parkers would cuddle up together like biscuits in a packet. Often DJ's older sister Caroline would deem herself as 'too busy' to join in the cuddle, but other times the almost-teenager Legnum would give in and jump into the pile of hatchbacks and station-wagons that made up this Parker family.
Adrian, however, had his own reasons for being so lonesome and quiet. His own family was similar to DJ's, with two parents and an older sibling – but he often didn't feel loved, or nowhere near as much as DJ was. Adrian belonged to a fairly wealthy family where they had everything they needed, but his parents Mr and Mrs Kochi would argue over money, love affairs and their own children.
"Don't worry about it, little bro. They always make up in the morning," Adrian's older brother, Sabre, would always say to him each night.
Sabre (whose original name was Samuel, yet he much preferred his own nickname) was right about this – except their parents would continue fighting, even after making up numerous times. Sabre did his best to look after and reassure the little Adrian, but the Civic/Silvia crossbreed still didn't feel secure. So he sometimes would run away from home, to the Parker residence – where DJ lived, and where he felt truly safe. He needed his best friend. They were almost like brothers.
Adrian was so relieved to be attending the same primary school as DJ the following year. The two of them stood together outside the front gate of Wingnut City Primary on their first day, clutching tyres and staring up in wonder at the numerous buildings. This place seemed like a whole wide galaxy compared to kindergarten.
"What if we don't fit in, Deej?" Adrian whispered nervously to the Scion.
DJ smiled at him. "Well if we don't, then it won't matter, because we'll always have each other, right? Relax; this place could be even better than kindergarten." With that, he confidently led his best friend through the gates.
And that was only the beginning of the tuners' eventful lives.
Tell me what you think so far, your input is appreciated. :)
