Kiza: Hello everyone! heres my first Tales of the abyss story please enjoy!

'A glass ball was dropped when I chased it, another was dropped in a single spot of sunshine, only one remains.

When their existences began, reluctantly, people take up space. So that it won't be taken away, they protect it even though I kept my hands clean, they looked dirty.

Before I doubt my memories, my memories doubt me.

Surely, we will meet.

The same sound of our beats becomes a sign I am here; because I'll always be calling. When our worn out reasons overlap and sway, we'll understand the meaning of our birth AS our existence continues.

Because we can't help it, we take up space in a single spot of sunshine; the two of us can't fit.

A galls ball was dropped when it fell, something broke out.

In the place we fought for, we basked in the sun.

These footsteps we've counted. We realized they were nothing more than numbers.

The thing we must understand is somehow in the space between one and zero.

For the first time, we will meet.

The same flag of our cries becomes a sign. Don't forget, because I'll always be calling. When we bury the overlapping reasons, the promise will be exchanged. Like mirrors, the two of us, are to reflect each other's karma.

Our dirtied hands touch and feel our shapes, you're here; I definitely feel you. We are in a single spot of sunshine.

Don't forget, because I'll always be calling from the inside of the same glass ball.

Yes, we will surely meet.

When a cross is built on the buried reasons, the promise will be fulfilled.

We will become one.'

That was the last time I had ever heard my mother sing that lullaby to me, for I was kidnapped then they made a replica of me, he took my place at the palace and he took my name…mother and father never knew the difference until he and I showed up at the same city and went to go see them. Then they both wanted to call me Luke, but I refused to take that name, so I became known among the God-Generals as Asch the Bloody.

So from there, problems in the kingdom came, and soon, fights broke out, this caused me to leave the God-Generals…I soon became their enemy as they became my enemies. Not only that, that idiot Replica of mine is always trying to get me to join his little group of friends so we can help each other.

By nature, I always say no…

But now…I wish I hadn't let my pride get in the way…but guess we all can't get what we want…

"Asch!" Luke calls as the said male then sighs looking down from the tree branch he had climb on, only to see Luke and his so called friends, Asch then glares at them. "Come down here a sec will you?" he asks kindly, Asch then sighs again, now that he was back at living in the Mansion, he couldn't get away from Luke, not that he wanted to, but there were times where he wanted to be alone to his own thoughts, but hey, what can a person do when your Replica was so damn stubborn?

So Asch nods and jumps down from the said branch and stands in front of his taller 'twin'.

"What?" he asks, Luke sighs, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well? If you have nothing to tell me, I-"

"I want you to come with us to the ball with us." Luke cuts in blushing, Asch then looks at his replica with confusion. Ball? Um, no. he didn't do balls. They were never any fun, and there was always to many people, and…well….he never had anyone to go with, Natalia was with Tear, and Guy, the man he had fallen for who now hated him wanted nothing to do with him no matter how hard he tried to win his forgiveness.

So the only person left would be Luke. And there was no way in heaven or hell would he go to a ball with him, it was like going with yourself. And he was sure that he didn't want that.

"The ball? I don't know…I was never one for such things…" Asch explains, Luke then sighs. "Why would you want me to go?"

"Because, it would be fun." Mieu explains landing on his other masters head, Asch then looks up at him and swats him off.

"Shoo. And No it wouldn't be, that damn ball ends lasts until three in the god damn morning. does it look like i would want to spen all of my time there?" he asks with a growl, Luke then sighs looking at him with sadness causing Asch to blush and look away. "B-But...I guess I'll go..." he finally says, Luke smiles then huggs his original tightly, Asch just sighs and hugs him back he pulls away and climbs back into the tree. "Call me when its time to get ready."

"Come on Asch. better to get ready now then later. besides, the uniform that Natailia picked out for you looks nice." Luke explains, Asch then rolls his eyes. He just got back onto his brach and now had to get down? "Come we dont got all day."

Asch sighs, he hated it when Luke would do that, but what was he gonig to do? he wouldn't be Luke if he didn't act the way he did, nor would he be Luke if he didn't do things the way he did. so with a growl he jumps down and begins to follow Luke and his friends back to the mansion. Then Asch began to wonder, had really dicided to go because of Luke, or because he didn't feel like spending the night alone when he could spend it with him?

Lately, Asch had spent endless nights thinking about how he felt about Luke, and it scared him...Luke was almost like his twin, so now for him to start getting feelsing such as the ones he was getting for the taller male was strange and somewhat frighting, to a point anyway.

"Hey you alright?" Jade asks, Asch then snaps out of his thoughts and nods.

"Jade...can I ask you something?" he asks, the older man nods. "Its about Luke."

"I bet your wondering why he wanted you to come to the ball with us?" Asch looks up at him with shock and nods. Okay this man was no on his list of 'Stay away from as much as humanly possible.' "Well, Luke is very shy about certen things...such as wanting to spend time with you...sure he hasn't forgotten what you did to him...but he can't fight of fthe feelings of love he has for you. Luke is a very kind soul. so he wanted to do everything in his power to make sure that you wouldn't end up alone." Jade explains fixing his glasses.

Oh...so thats why Luke wanted him to go to the ball, he wanted to spend time with him, not because he felt sorry for him, but because his replica really did care about him...but still it was strange to have someone care.

But, he guessed he could make the best out this.
