Hush little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird.
The soft and gentle voice soothed the small baby in the woman's arms. She was a beautiful woman, with long wavy hair and a warm smile. She held her son closer to her, lovingly looking into his eyes as she continued to sing.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring.
The baby boy slowly started to close his eyes. He felt safe in his mother's arms. He enjoyed hearing her singing voice that always helped him fall asleep. As he closed his eyes, he waited for his mother to continue the lullaby he loved so much…but to his surprise she didn't continue. He opened his eyes to see why she had stopped. His mother's beautiful face was no longer in front of him, but a creature with a toothy grin. It continued to sing where his mother had left off.
And if that diamond ring turns to brass,
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass.
Yuki's eyes shot open. He quickly lifted himself up and looked around his room. His breathing was heavy and his heart was racing so fast that he thought it'd pop out of his chest. He felt his body shaking uncontrollably and tears forming in his eyes. It was yet another nightmare that haunted his dreams. He had never met his mother, but somehow he could remember her face as if she had never disappeared from his life.
Yuki fought the urge to cry. He didn't want to alarm Kanata who was most likely awake. The two had started living together since Yuki had moved in two months ago after leaving the orphanage. He was excited to be reunited with the older male he saw as a big brother. They had been able to spend more time with one another and prepare Yuki for university.
It was at the moment that Yuki remembered that it was the first day of the semester. He quickly got out of bed and ran over to his closet. Picking out an outfit, Yuki forgot about the nightmare he had just woken up from and filled his mind with the excitement and nervousness of starting a new chapter in his life.
Once he was dressed up, Yuki made his way out of the room and towards the living room. Kanata was sitting on the couch, with a book in one hand and a coffee mug in the other. Kanata was always the type to be fascinated with books. He enjoyed reading to Yuki and the kids at the orphanage whenever he had the time. Looking up, Kanata smiled and put down his book.
"Good morning Yuki. Did you sleep well?"
"Good morning Kanata-san. I did sleep well," Yuki replied. He didn't want to alarm Kanata about his nightmare. He wanted to start the day without Kanata looking at him with a worried look.
"Good. Let's eat breakfast and then get going. It's your first day, so we want to have enough time to look around campus."
Yuki nodded his head in agreement. He was finally going to attend the same university as Kanata. His dreams were coming true one after another. There wasn't anything else that he wanted other then what he already had. Although, he wondered about Kanata more then he did himself. Kanata was a kind and handsome man with many admirers and friends. While Yuki was in high school, Kanata had dated a few people, but the relationships never lasted long. When Yuki asked why, Kanata always told him that he just hadn't found the one yet.
In the back of his mind, Yuki also wondered if such a person existed for everyone. He was the shy type, so Yuki never had a girlfriend. He had been confessed to and told how cute he was by many girls, but no one ever seemed to grab his attention and steal his heart away like in the dramas he watched.
"Yuki, are you day dreaming again?" Kanata asked as he gestured Yuki to follow him into the kitchen. Yuki blushed a little from embarrassment.
"Sorry. Let's start making breakfast."
Yuki followed Kanata into the kitchen. They quickly whipped up a meal for breakfast and ate. Once they were done, they grabbed their things and headed out of the door. The university was only a few blocks away from their apartment. Yuki was grateful that the weather was nice. He was happy to walk next to Kanata. The two continued to walk and after a good seven minutes, were entering the campus.
"Your first class in English 101, right?" Kanata asked.
"Yes. It's in building 45, room 312."
"Do you remember how to get there from orientation?"
"I think so."
"I can take you there. My class is in building 44 so I won't be late. Let's go."
Kanata and Yuki walked through campus and passed many students on their way. Yuki was amazed by the amount of people and the campus itself. He noticed a group of males and females sitting under a tree feet away. One of the females had long grey hair and a voluptuous body to match her beauty. She was clinging onto a young man with jet black hair and silver eyes. Sitting next to him was who Yuki believed was his brother since the two looked very much alike. He had never seen two people as handsome as them other then Kanata. There was something about them that attracted Yuki's attention.
"Those are the Crosszeria brothers," Kanata said. "They're very smart and popular on campus."
"Do you know them personally Kanata-san?"
"No, I just know of them. I've never had the chance to talk to them. Although, I have had one or two classes with them freshman and sophomore year."
"Looking at them, I feel somewhat self-conscious."
Kanata couldn't help but laugh. "You're not the only one who feels that way. It's a little humorous how certain things never change, even in college."
Yuki smiled. He liked how Kanata wasn't the type to feel intimated by someone else. He always had his head up high and a confident aura. The two continued to walk along, unaware that two pairs of eyes were watching them from a distance. Luze wondered who the person walking next to Kanata was. He didn't know that his brother Luka was also wondering the same thing.
Ashley was the first to notice and grinned at the brothers. "It looks like the student president has a new friend on campus. He looks adorable."
"I don't see anything adorable about him. He lacks sex appeal. Isn't that right Luka?" Elegy replied as she tightened her grip around Luka's arm.
"You don't need to hold onto Luka so much Elegy. You look desperate," Luze said, a bit annoyed with the busty female among their group. Elegy glared at him. Cadenza laughed at the usual routine since Elegy and Luze never saw eye to eye, yet they put up with each other for Luka and for the group.
"Class is about to start, let's go Luze," Luka said as he pulled away from Elegy and stood up.
"We'll see you guys in the cafeteria," Cadenza said as the brothers started to walk off. Luze looked back at him and nodded his head before he continued on with Luka.
"Did you feel something strange when you saw Kanata's friend?" Luze asked.
"I did. It might be the same thing you felt when you first saw Kanata," Luka responded.
"It's strange…But it feels like we know them from the past."
Luka remained silent while they continued to walk to class. He had to agree with Luze, it did feel like he had an instant connection with Yuki once he saw him. Why? He didn't know the answer, but something told him that he needed to find out.

Hey everyone! ^-^ I decided to try and write another Uraboku story mainly based on Yuki, Luka, Kanata and Luze. The Zweilts are going to make some appearances, but it'll mainly focus on the primary four characters I just mentioned. This is an AU story so it's going to be a little different (you probably already figured that out once you read that they were all in university, even the infamous General Class and Opasts o.o).
Anyway, tell me what you think about this idea! Should I continue? I probably will, but knowing what you guys think will help encourage my motivation :D
Thanks for reading! Reviews are always welcomed!
Until next time!
