Emil
I used to think that I was alone. You know the saying "alone in an empty room", right? That's how I used to feel until he came along. Don't get me wrong, I love him, but not in that type of way. He protects me when I need it and supports me. So I guess he's my protector and supporter. More importantly, he's my cousin, in a way. People thought it was weird that we were always together. We didn't care, though. That's just how we are and we've been this way for a little over a year now. That's when They started to come around. I guess I'm lucky to have a cousin like him. He looks a lot tougher than me. I've always hated looking feminine, but no matter how hard I try, I can't look manly. Ever since I was a kid, people have mistaken me for a girl. No matter where I go, without fail it manages to happen. Except for him. When we met, he was the first one to realize that I wasn't a little girl. By the way, his name is Jia-Long. But don't call him that; he prefers Leon.
Jia-long
I've always known that I was different. As a kid, I started fighting. In the streets, at home, in school-it didn't matter. People called me a delinquent and wanted me to stay away from their children. I didn't mind; they were wimps anyway. My parents, on the other hand, cared. They said that I needed discipline. They had to enroll me in multiple martial arts classes to keep me off of the streets. The teachers didn't initially believe that I loved fighting as much as they were told. They learned quickly; as did I. Sometimes, I got kicked out of the classes. It never mattered since there are tons of martial arts out there to learn. I skipped class sometimes. Eventually, I probably would have stopped. Then came the day I saw him again. It surprised me since we hadn't seen each other since we were kids. And since that day, I've cut down on the amount of days I spend training. Honda sensei says that it's not good, but I don't care. He needs me more. Before you get any strange ideas, it's not like that. He's kind of my "cousin". He's my listener, my supporter, my soul mate. We aren't romantically involved though, we just need each other's presence. People say it's strange, but who cares? We don't need their approval for anything. Just so you know his name is Emil. It's funny that such an adorable boy has such a tough name. I think my literature teacher would call that irony.
A/N
Hey guys~! This is my first fanfic on the site, so yeah. Just some notes on how the story is set up:
*The story is set up so that each part is made of bits and pieces. I'll try to have multiple short ones or a long one and a short one, etc. The main point being, the story isn't one big thing, which may be a little confusing ^^;;
*The bits and pieces with names (i.e. Jia-long) are present time. Anything with a title is a flashback. The reason being there is a lot of background information through the years that I feel the need to add in. This is probably what makes the story confusing, so sorry. That's just the way I wanted to try writing.
Other things:
-Emil means rival, hence why it's a "tough name"
-The story is indeed HongIce{as in yaoi or technically boys love}, but the romance takes a while to bloom and it probably won't be a major part of the story.
-I will explain the cousins thing and a few other mysterious things in later chapters.
-The characters will probably be a bit ooc…
Whew, this note is so long...anyway, thanks for reading this and I hope you continue to read this story!
