Chapter 1: from fighting partners to friends.
After clearing another stage with his master Laharl and his team, Davis, an axe-wielding, male warrior, goes upstairs to the castle veranda. There, he finds a new, leafy, flowery garden made by his master's Vassal, Flonne, much to his master's Dismay. Not that Davis cared of the new scenery. He sat on the bench, which was facing the melancholic, Netherworld sky, as his face also stared at.
Before even a minute could pass, Tomoe, a female Brawler also came up to the veranda with self training in mind, not that he could do it now seeing the new flowery decorations. Before even thinking about looking for a new training ground, she finds Davis sitting on the bench, now looking at Tomoe instead of the sky.
Both to their surprise, they never expected to see each other rather than the battlefield.
"Davis?" Tomoe said with a confused look.
"Tomoe?" Davis did the same thing "You're one of the last people I'd expect to see up here." Davis said with no offense intended but taken by Tomoe. "What brings you up here?
"Hmph." Tomoe frowned. "I usually come up here to train myself since I was usually alone here. But now that Miss Flonne turned this into a garden, I'll have to look for another location to train." Tomoe replied while closing her eyes and crossing her fit arms. "And as for your last sentence, I could say the same for you. What are you doing here?" Tomoe retorted.
"Oh, Nothing" Davis said with a Blank look with a small hint of sadness which was unnoticed by Tomoe.
"Nothing?" Tomoe questioned, raising a brow and letting out a single chuckle. "Don't tell you do "Nothing" after every fight." Tomoe said while approaching the bench Davis is seated at
Davis lets out a slightly annoyed face. "I'm thinking, alright?" Davis replies at an annoyed tone.
"Thinking?" Tomoe opens her eyes slightly wide "Thinking what?" Curious, Tomoe sits beside her male ally.
Davis closes his eyes, takes a deep breath and lets out a big sigh and answers her: "I'm thinking about my time".
Tomoe gives a disappointed look. "Your…time?" Tomoe replies and raises a brow.
"I'm talking about my past and my future" Davis clarifies for Tomoe's sake. "My present is pretty much obvious; we help Master Laharl beat up a few weaker demons and that's it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining. I just want to know about the rest of my time. I don't know my past and I don't know my future. If I find out, I'll be happy" After saying his piece, Davis calmly smiles.
Tomoe, taking notice of this and now understanding what's in Davis' mind, smiles herself for a few seconds before thinking and answers: "Well, we have the same past, I know that much."
"Y-you do?!" Davis answers in shock "well, what is it?! Davis asks Tomoe like a child with so much curiosity.
"Simple; you were created by Master Laharl with his amazingly high amount of mana with the purpose of serving him, mainly for helping him in his battles." Tomoe says this in a single breath with her finger pointing upwards.
Davis' jaw dropped to the ground with his eyes wide open like a bug. "Well… uhhh… T-that's… a heartbreaker." Davis smiles wryly and sadly at the same time.
"Heh, and here I thought YOU were smarter than me" Tomoe, who expected Davis' reactions, said in an attempt to raise Davis' spirits with a mischievous smile.
"Hahaha!" Davis, seeing Tomoe like that, just laughed it off, not taking any offense in Tomoe's last sentence.
"As for the future…" Tomoe continued. "It is something we couldn't properly cope with if we knew. So in a way, it's a good thing that we don't." Tomoe finishes with a gentle smile, which was something Davis didn't expect from his female partner whose passion is fist fighting.
Happy with Tomoe's words, Davis pats her on her shoulder and gently says: "Thanks." Three seconds later, Davis soon realizes a certain fact and tells Tomoe: "You know, this is the first time I've seen you smile" Davis' smile widens as Tomoe's face flusters, and Davis notices this. "Hahah! Your face is all red! You're still a girl after all huh?" Davis bursts of laughter while Tomoe's face reddens even more but soon, bulging veins become visible on Tomoe's head in annoyance.
"Shut up" Tomoe calmly (sort of) tells the snickering Davis whose holding his stomach with Tomoe's face still red.
At the end of the day, the two became no longer mere partners in the battlefield, but also, good friends.
In all honesty, I planned this to be a one-shot but things grew in my mind, so here you have chapter one. Love it, hate it, whatever. Reviews are appreciated as long as it has meaning. ANY reviews are good in helping me become a better writer(?). don't worry, if it's a good review with criticisms, it's cool; it'll help me become better… am I becoming redundant? O_o
