A/N So I have far too much writers block for my BB/A fanfiction "Child" and I've had this Four Swords idea for a while so I am going to be writing two stories at once and well as doing loads of drawings and college at the same time! YAY multitasking!

Vio's P.O.V

KNOKE, KNOKE, KNOKE "VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I opened my eyes slowly at the sound of my friend who had stayed over last night because he and his roommate had a falling out. I groaned nobody should be woken like that, I can see why Blue had thrown him out if this was how he got woken up every morning. I closed my eyes again and buried my face in my pillow I needed to come to myself properly before getting up. I am not a morning person!

"VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOO!"

I sighed and looked at my clock it was only 5am it was far, far too early for me. Oh well looks like I'll be tired all day today. I got out of bed and opened the door to see Red standing there with a massive grin and already dressed in a red t-shirt and shorts, "Red." I stated "it's far too early for you to be shouting like that, my neighbours will complain."

"Sorry, Vio!" he said "but you wouldn't want to be late for our first day of college!"

"Of course, but it's still too early. I don't want to fall asleep in class on the first day that would be an awful first impression."

"Yeah… sorry. I'm just really excited that's all! I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep… I'm sorry for disturbing you…"

I sighed again I couldn't get angry at Red, he's too innocent and he was already feeling hurt because of his argument with Blue that I still had very little information about as Red failed to tell me the story when he came crying to me last night. "Go help yourself to breakfast Red, I'll get dressed," I told him.

"Oh, ok," Red said as he looked over me realising that I was just in my dark purple boxers and an old baggy faded lavender shirt. He went to the kitchen and I went back into my room I briefly considered going back to bed but decided that sleep was impossible now that I had been so rudely awakened by Red. I went to my closet to decide what to wear as it was the first day I wanted to make a good first impression so choosing clothes took longer than normal, I ended up in dark purple jeans, light purple low V-neck shirt, Triforce necklace and I grabbed a violet blazer out of the closet for when I left.

Once I was dressed I went into the kitchen to see Red cooking some bacon and eggs. "Hey," I said.

"Hey," Red said back turning to put the food on two plates along with some toast "I made enough for both of us." He handed me one plate and we sat down.

I took a bite and couldn't help but smile. "Wow Red that's really good!"

Red smiled at me "really? It's good?"

"What do you mean? Of course it is. Doesn't Blue ever compliment your cooking?" I asked.

Red shook his head "no, he never says anything about it, I mean he eats it but he eats anything so…"

"You still haven't told me why he through you out."

Red shrugged "it's nothing."

"It's not nothing if he through you out!"

Red turned his head and seemed to turn red and I saw tears begin to fill his eyes "I don't want to talk about it, Vio," he said quietly.

Whatever it was had Red really upset so I decided to leave it alone for now, it was too early to deal with a sad and crying Red so I changed the subject "so you're excited for today?"

He instantly cheered up even though it felt more like a fake happiness in order to make me worry less "yeah! I can't wait to start and meet new people and do something I enjoy with nothing really hard because all I'll do all day is cook and…" Red kept going on and on about starting college today and I just sat and half listened while I ate the breakfast that Red had so kindly made for me.

Luckily we had all got a place at the same college meaning we could all still hang around together and it made moving to a new place and away from our parents easier. Red had gotten into a cooking course along with Zelda who was living with her boyfriend Green who she had been dating for two years, Green was doing a computing course and had made me promise to help him if he got stuck with it, Blue had gotten into a physical education course and I had gotten into an advanced history course. I couldn't wait to start and meet people who were more intelligent than the people I hung out with now. Not like I had anything against my friends we had been friends since we were children and had gone through a lot together but they did annoy me with their stupidity sometimes especially Blue, Zelda was the only one who never really annoyed me as she actually had a brain but our interests were completely different.

We watched TV for a while as we had so much time to kill, Red was unusually quiet, he was so hurt by the fight and I really couldn't do anything until Red told me what happened.

After a few hours Red and I left together and I drove him to the college in my new (well second hand and cheap) violet car that my parents had gotten me for getting into such a good course and because they said it would make moving away from home easier but really they probably got it for me so I have one less excuse not to visit them. The whole car journey Red kept fidgeting probably with nerves about starting college and confronting Blue. The journey wasn't long and soon I was parked and got out, Red just sat there, staring into empty space, I opened his door "Red? Come on," I said.

Red quickly shook his head to snap himself out of his trance and got out "sorry, Vio, I was thinking…"

"About Blue?"

Red just started walking off to the college and I followed knowing that, that meant yes.

We got inside the college café and saw Green and Zelda already sitting with cups of coffee and chatting together Green was mid-way through a sentence when Zelda saw us and waved happily interrupting her boyfriend. We laughed and Red waved back and ran towards them as I walked behind him.

Zelda stood and hugged Red when he reached her "hey Red! Vio!" she looked behind us "where's Blue? Isn't he with you guys?"

Red looked down at the ground sadly "I stayed with Vio last night, Blue through me out after we had a fight."

"A fight? What happened this time?" Green signed we were all used to Blue starting fights and with Blue and Red now living together fights were inevitable.

"I'd rather not talk about it…" Red told him. Green and Zelda looked to me but I just shrugged. The four of us chatted casually together for a bit until Blue showed up. He looked terrible his hair was a mess, so were his clothes which was unusual for someone as OCD as Blue. He looked half asleep as if he was going to fall to the ground any moment.

"Wow Blue!" Green exclaimed when Blue came up to us and you could see the bags under his eyes really clearly "you look like you were dragged through countless bushes and then dumped in a gutter!"

"Yeah, way to make me feel better, asshole!" Blue snapped at him as he sat down as far away from Red as possible.

"Blue! I'm really, really sorry! Can we just go back to being friends, please!?" Red said desperately.

"Red. I told you already! Leave. Me. Alone. I can't do this right now so go away!" Blue snapped at him.

I saw Red's bottom lip tremble and he burst out into tears "I'm so, so, really, really, super sorry Blue!" he sobbed. Zelda went over to Red and hugged him trying to stop him from crying and making a scene as everyone around us turned and stared at the boy in his late teens crying like a five year old girl.

"You're such a jerk Blue!" Green said "we don't know what's happened between you two but Red's apologised so can't you forgive him?"

"No, not right now! You don't know so you don't understand. It has nothing to do with you! Butt out! …I'm going to find my class." Blue just got up and left.

Red kept crying, I sighed and put my hand on his shoulder "it's ok Red, whatever it was Blue'll forget about it eventually he always does and you can stay with me until then," I told him in an attempt to comfort him.

Red just shook his head "not this time! He'll hate me foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeever!"

"No he won't, don't be silly Red, Blue just being Blue by tomorrow all will be forgiven," Zelda said still hugging him.

"No! I ruined our friendship forever! I'm so stupid!"

Whatever happened was more serious than I thought, Red was really upset but Zelda, Green and I would help him out after all we are all close friends. Whatever it was I was sure it was most likely Blue's fault because in the end it always was, Red was sweet and wouldn't do anything to intentionally hurt anyone.

Soon it was time for us to go to our classes. We had managed to calm Red down enough and Zelda promised she would help him out in their class. The two of them left after Green and Zelda kissed quickly. Green and I went off to our classes as well.

I got to the lecture theatre where my class was and picked a seat four rows from the front and took out my note book, pen and text books. The class filled up quickly and when the lecturer walked in the class started. I found it very interesting and was too absorbed in taking notes about the first war over the Triforce to notice that someone walked in through the door at the front until the lecturer stopped talking. The whole class watched as the boy about my age walked up to the back of the room, very loudly and sat in the back row, put his feet on the table and pulled out his earphones from his ears. He was tall, had dark purple hair, several earrings, and wore a black hoodie and black jeans that were tucked into his biker boots. He was very noticeable amongst the smartly dressed people in the room and looked very out of place. Everyone was staring at him and he just looked back "what?" he said like this situation was totally normal.

"Excuse me are you in the right class?" the lecturer asked.

"Yeah. This is advanced history right?"

"Yes but the class started almost an hour ago you've missed a lot already you should be here on time… Please give me your name."

"The names Shadow dude. And don't worry about me missing shit I'll catch up, right now I'll listen. So go on don't wanna loose more time right old man?"

"I'm sorry Shadow but you have missed too much so I'm going to have to ask you to leave and be on time for the next lesson."

"Nope, I'm good dude. I'll just sit back here and be quiet."

The lecturer sighed "fine, but if you're this late again you will not be allowed to enter the class," he then continued with the lesson and I continued taking notes. That guy will most likely give up in a month I thought.

The class only lasted another half hour before we were dismissed and everyone began to pack their bags. As I turned to leave someone tapped me on my shoulder I turned to see Shadow, "yo, dude," he said.

I looked at him before saying "uh… hello… can I help you…?"

"Yeah, you looked like you were taking tons of notes so can I copy them?"

"Uh sure?" I said.

"Great! I'm Shadow," he said holding out his hand.

"Yes, I know," I replied "I'm Vio," I took his hand and shook it.

He smiled "nice to meet you Violet."

"It's Vio!" I growled I really hated being called Violet it was too feminine.

Shadow huffed "whatever." We walked to the café together, sat down and I gave Shadow my notes to copy. Green, Zelda and Red were still in their classes, Blue wasn't but he was probably going to avoid us until his and Red's fight was resolved.

There was an awkward silence between us and Shadow must have felt it too because he decided to start a conversation with me "so are you from around here?"

"No, I grew up outside the city," I told him "what about you?"

"Yeah, I've never left before. I wouldn't want to move to a new place it'd be hard to get used to," he said, I shrugged "so like you're alone here?" he asked.

"No by chance my friends all got a place here as well but they're doing different courses to me."

"I see so they're in their classes?"

"Yeah, one isn't but he had a fight with another one of us and is now advoiding us."

"Heh," Shadow continued to write for a bit before speaking again "I could show you and you're friends all the best clubs and bars if you'd like, I know 'em all."

"No thank you, we don't really do that sort of thing."

"What? You don't drink or party or have fun?"

"Of course we do! We just don't go to clubs and stuff."

"That's boring! I'll take you. How many of you are there?"

"Five. Including me and the one who is avoiding us."

"… Any of 'em hot chicks?"

"One but she's taken." We continued to talk casually until Shadow finished with my notes and stood to leave.

"I'll see you in our next class Violet. I'm going for a smoke," he then walked off, I felt discussed he called me 'Violet' again which I had already made quite clear that I hate and he smokes! Honestly the smell of cigarette smoke has always made me feel ill and add on the fact that it isn't healthy makes it worse. I wasn't sure if I liked Shadow, he seemed almost dangerous and I had a feeling that if I hung around him something bad may happen so I decided to avoid him as best as I could. Even though I could just be unfairly stereotyping him, whatever I really didn't care, I don't like him so I won't go near him it's as simple as that.

I bought a packet of crisps and went to go back and sit down I had just got back to my seat when Green came up to me and sat down next to me "hello, Vio," he said smiling.

"Green," I greeted "how was class?"

"Ok I guess, it looks like it will be hard so I'll defiantly need your help," he said scratching the back of his head through his green beanie hat "how was your class?"

"Good, very interesting. There was this one guy who came in an hour late dressed like some gangster and at the end of the class he asked to copy my notes."

"Huh? Sounds like someone you'll end up hating," Green looked around and then lent closer "what happened with Red and Blue? You must know something!"

I shook my head "Red was really tight lipped about it. He just knocked on my door and he was in floods of tears saying Blue had physically thrown him out along with his clothes. He then begged me to let him stay with me saying he didn't want to be alone and that he didn't want to spoil your and Zelda's alone time."

"Didn't you ask him about it at all?"

"Yes but every time I did he would just say something like 'we had a fight' or 'I don't want to talk about it,'"

"I hope they sort it out soon."

"Yeah me too, it seems worse than any other fight they've had before."

It wasn't long before Zelda and Red showed up as well, we didn't talk about the fight but Red was quieter than normal. I was worried about him. Our brake was uneventful and soon we all went back to class. On the way back I saw Blue and I decided to stop him "Blue please just make up with Red already whatever it was he's sorry and when Red's depressed everything is depressing and honestly I don't want to be woken up at 5am with Red yelling my name again."

"I can't talk to Red just now!" Blue snapped and began to walk away before stopping "…listen tell him that I'll talk to him again once I've had some time to think over things… and yes Vio I am capable of thought."

"Ok I'll tell him but Blue, what happened?" I asked if I couldn't get anything from Red I may get something from Blue but Blue just kept walking "BLUE!" I called he just lifted his hand and stuck up his middle finger at me and disappeared around the corner.

"HA! You and your friend are having quite the fight eh?" I turned to see Shadow walk up behind me.

"It is quite rude to listen into other people's conversations you know?" I said.

Shadow ignored me "when you said a fight I thought you meant physical! It's not much of a fight unless they're super weak and the blows did no damage."

I frowned "not all fights are physical, they had an argument and it really doesn't have anything to do with you!"

I was ignored again "when I fight with my older brother we end up with scars or broken bones. See?" Shadow lifted his shirt to revel one large scar and some smaller ones on his muscular stomach. I sighed I didn't care about whatever Shadow had to say or show so I walked off and Shadow ran after me "hey! Wait!"

"What?"

"You can't just ditch me! Let's go to class together." I kept walking without replying Shadow seemed to think this meant 'yes' and walked next to me and sat with me in class and as much I as tried to ignore him we ended up talking, I learned that Shadow didn't have a good family life; his parents thought he was a failure and pretty much abandoned him, his brother Dark hadn't spoken to him for years after they, according to Shadow, almost killed each other over some girl who Shadow ended up dumping after a month. I had been right he was dangerous and seemed like a thug. I really didn't want anything to do with him. I was a good student and I took pride in that fact, I didn't want my reputation to be destroyed by Shadow… however there was something about him. I wasn't going to deny it to myself I did find him hot and to my surprise I found myself imagining him naked once which I mentally slapped myself for. It didn't help that Shadow had lifted his shirt. It was unbelievable, I, the calm and collected Vio, couldn't be thinking such perverted thoughts about someone I had just met.

The class was very interesting and I did enjoy it but I would have liked it better if Shadow left me alone, he was distracting whether it was his annoying comments, the fact he kept calling me 'Violet' or the fact that I found him rather attractive I didn't know but I really wanted him to go away. I was glad he left me alone at lunch but lunch was still depressing, Red had sat with us to eat but he didn't speak once and when he was finished eating he decided that he wanted to be alone and had left before I could pass on Blue's message. After lunch Shadow had decided to sit with me again, I really don't know why he was hanging around me; I was ignoring him mostly and we really didn't seem like the kind of people who would hang out together.

When the day ended I met Red outside the college and we got into the car I was about to drive off when I saw Shadow wave at me while he got onto a black motorbike and for some stupid reason I found myself waving back which would probably just encourage him to continue sitting with me. "Who's that?" Red asked.

"A guy in my class," I said "how are you Red? Are you feeling any better?"

"Well class was fun but Blue still hates me…"

I sighed and drove away "He told me to tell you that he'll speak to you once he's 'thought things over,'"

Red sighed "he won't," he stated sadly "there's no way he'll forgive me, he'll probably think I'm disgusting."

"Why?" I asked, Red didn't answer "Red? Why won't Blue forgive you?"

He shook his head "I… I… it's nothing, Vio please I just can't talk about it, I'm ashamed about it."

The longer I knew nothing about it the more I wanted to know about it. I guess Red will tell me soon enough.
