This story will be a prequel to my first Kaze to Ki no Uta fan-fiction Kissing Sins. So out of the 17 volumes in the manga, I have only seen the first 6. I basically found this through random picks on Wikipedia. That means I know what happens, just not what it looks like. Well, what this story is gonna be about is what happens BEFORE Serge and Gilbert run away together in Kissing Sins. I know that this intro is becoming a pain in the ass, but I hope you like it!

P.S. This is by Gilbert's POV. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Newfound Lovers

His warm body caresses my skin as we sleep in one bed. Being close to him makes me feel so safe and secure. Just one touch from him sends me to Heaven. The sound of his name rolling on my tongue feels so natural.

Serge. You have become my protector. My friend, no, that doesn't suit you to me. My lover, yes, that's better.

I started out as a beaten down prostitute who was mad for Auguste Beau, my uncle. When you arrived here at Lacombrade Academy, I wanted you away, sure that you would hate me like everyone else. But when I kissed you for the first time, just to tease you back then, I felt like I couldn't live without you. You've comforted me through rough times, no matter how much I push you away.

But that is behind us now, Serge. Every night we would confide in each other's warmth in your bed and forget about the troubles surrounding us. We'd kiss where no one could see us. And still nobody knows of our relationship.

My eyes opened wide when I heard the alarm clock strike. I turned it off and just lied there. Somehow, Serge was able to sleep through it. I nuzzled in closer, and he stirred awake.

"Let's get ready Gilbert," he yawned, stretching his arms. I jumped off the bed and handed him his uniform, which we set out the previous night. We fixed each others's ties and grabbed our school supplies. Recently I have lost interest in being a prostitute and decided to actually attend classes. Now I'm becoming a good student. Well, I'm trying at the least.

After another kiss for good luck, we stepped out of our room and headed down for breakfast. Whispers crossed our way as we walked side by side.

"Have you noticed a change in Gilbert?" asked one student.

"You mean him beginning to go to classes?" suggested another. "Yeah, everyone's heard of it. Surprisingly, he's good."

"No, I'm talking about how he's always by Serge," the first person pointed out. "They don't seem to mind each other, and Serge still tries to help him."

"Oh right! What I don't understand is why Gilbert's actually accepting his help, and why I haven't heard someone being seduced by him in a while?"

I tried my best to ignore the gossip and continued on to the cafeteria. We sat at a table with Karl and Pascal. They've learned to accept my presence, since I barely talk to them anyways. Even Karl's little brother has taken a liking to me. Having friends for once is a new start to me.

Serge simply nibbled on a piece of toast and barely sipped some of his orange juice. We watched him intently. He's been like this for a while now.

"Please eat, Serge," I coaxed him, handing him another piece of bread when he finally finished the first. I laid a hand on his arm when he just stared at his plate. "You need to keep your strength," I whispered in his ear. He gave me the slightest of smiles and took a larger bite.

Karl stared at us, wondering how I was able to get him to eat. "What's this change in his attitude?" he asked Pascal, but he shrugged his shoulders.

"I'll check out some psychology books for an answer," Pascal suggested. After another half hour at breakfast, the first class bell tolled. It was a good idea to grab our books before coming downstairs.
