Resting underneath the shade of a large tree in the courtyard of the student dorms was a lone figure. The figure was that of a young man clothed in a long white lab coat with goggles hanging loosely around his neck. His long silvery-white hair was tied back into a ponytail, and a thin purple mark adorned the left side of his face. Nestled in his arms was a young girl, who seemed to be about 2-3 years old. He turned his magenta irises up to the sky; it was a beautiful blue with not a cloud in sight. The man gave a soft exhale before turning that sharp gaze back to the little girl dozing in his arms. He was taking a slight break before he had to go in and teach his afternoon class. In truth, he was actually hiding.

"Add!" a voice called to him and the scientist cringed, pulling the little girl closer to him.

In a spur of the moment he climbed up into the depths of the tree's foliage, hoping that the caller hadn't seen him climb up there. The voice had seemed pretty far away, so he assumed that someone was looking for him. Whoever it was had sounded a bit familiar to him so it was probably one of the students or one of the staff members. The little girl in his arms had awoken at the sudden movements of the person holding her. She looked at Add with wide, sleep filled blue eyes.

"Don't worry Aya, everything is fine." Add whispered to her.

Stealthily the silver haired scientist peered out from the branches and spotted a man pause underneath the tree he was hiding in. The man had tanned skin along with spiky black hair with a white patch on the side. He placed his hand on his hips and looked around as if he was trying to find something. Aya began to fuss but he silenced her by pressing her closer to his chest. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the man look up, golden eyes searching and Add slunk deeper into the foliage.

"Raven, what the hell are you doing here?" another voice reached Add's ears; this one was very familiar to him.

Another young man walked under the tree, this one had spiky silvery-white hair. The hidden scientist closed his eyes in a moment of sudden relief, letting out a silent breath.

"I swear I saw Add around here but the guy is like a ninja." Raven scratched his head as he said this.

Add saw the newcomer peer up into the tree and their gazes met for just a moment. After a second he turned his attention back to Raven like nothing had distracted him.

"I think I saw him heading back to the science building," the young stranger said, "Why don't you go see if he's already there."

Add heard Raven huff and walk away, watching the man through the openings in the foliage. His gaze turned back down to the ground and he watched the young man gaze after Raven's retreating back until he disappeared from sight. When all was clear he winked up at Add, before climbing up into the tree to rest on the branch the scientist was hiding out in. The face of the man mirrored his own, this fact was very peculiar as if they were twins, but they were not related in a familial sense.

"Thanks for the save Luna."

"I'm always saving your ass, what are you doing hiding up here anyway?" Luna took notice of Aya and a frown crossed his face.

"Just trying to get some peace and quiet." the scientist sighed, watching Aya try and reach out to Luna.

"Why is Aya out of the daycare Add?" Luna ruffled the little girl's hair, making her giggle.

Add lowered his gaze to the orphaned girl in his arms. Something about the child drew him to her, and he never wanted her to leave his sight. Yet, he did not exactly want people knowing that he had "adopted" this orphan child.

"Add." Luna insisted on an answer, causing the scientist to turn his gaze toward him.

"Don't question me, Luna." Add said with a note of exasperation.

Luna reached out and took the little girl from the unwilling Add, which caused the man to panic.

"Luna!"

"You need to go back to your classroom Add; I'll take her back to where she's supposed to be."

Add didn't look too happy about this but it looked as if he really didn't have a choice on the matter. Luna had somehow turned into his keeper, and it bothered Add. Without further word Add lowered himself down from the tree and made his way alone back to the science building. He knew that he didn't have to wait for too long for Luna to seek him out in his classroom. When he entered his classroom it was mostly empty, except for Raven who was casually leaning against his desk. Add frowned since Raven was not one of his students this year in any of his science classes.

"Is there something I can help you with Raven?" Add questioned as he shooed the man away from his neatly organized desk.

"Elsword needed help with something but you weren't here when he came by, so he asked me to let you know."

Add watched Raven carefully as he rearranged some papers atop his desk. Even though Raven seemed harmless enough something felt off about his explanation.

"Elsword know am always around, besides he's in my next class, so he would have shown up early and hung around here if he needed help. This boy does live on campus."

"I guess he just happens to be busy right now, that's just what he said to me."

"Raven, don't take me for a fool. Elsword is a fine student, albeit mischievous, but if he needed me he would be here right now. What is it that you really want from me?"

Add took a seat in his chair and patiently watched Raven.

The man leaned against the desk and the professor glanced over at the clock on the wall. Luna had sent him back at a good time; his afternoon class would start soon.

"Raven I am a busy man, if you don't have any business here then get the hell out of my classroom. My students will be arriving soon."

"But I do have business with you." Raven drew closer.

Add was growing unhappy by Raven's hassling and he was about to open his mouth to tell he man to fuck off. Just then Luna casually slipped into the classroom pausing to assess the scene before him.

"Right on time Luna." Add greeted his counterpart.

"Is everything alright here?"

"I was just leaving." Raven mumbled and walked out of the room.

As soon as Raven had left Add rested his face in his hands and let out a deep stress-filled sigh.

"Why do I have to deal with these urchins all the time?" he took his face away from his hands and looked at his fingers.

"Add; try to stay in one piece until Aya goes to bed tonight." Luna said placing a hand on the scientist's shoulder.

Add shut his eyes again and this time he let his head fall to the desk.

Day after day I have to deal with these fools, and to what end when my knowledge is too precious for these dimwits. The only ones here really worth shit are Luna and that sweet little brat Elsword. Calm yourself Add you can't lose now. Just a bit longer and everything will be perfect.

This random internal monologue made Add so irritated that he actually considered screaming right then and there. Luna's stern voice reached him in his thoughts and he snapped back into the present. Just in time for his afternoon class to roll in too. Luna gave him a wink and took his seat next to Elsword at the front of the room. Trying his best to look as if nothing was wrong, he began his lecture for his two hour long class. Once he went into his professor mode he yapped away contentedly about the week's lecture for his Biochemistry class.

When his duties concerning class and school ended for the day, he donned his usual disguise and went to retrieve his precious Aya from the school's daycare center. Much to his chagrin he lived on campus with Luna, they shared one of the old empty dorms by the science building. No one ever went near it since he had spread rumors about the place to prevent people from exploring his sanctuary. The director had granted him that all place along with an interior remodel, due to a very generous bribe from him. Now the old dorm served as both his home and his laboratory.

Making sure that no one had seen or followed him, he made his way to his "mansion". Opening the front door he saw that Luna was already waiting for him.

"Didn't keep you waiting too long did I Luna?"

"Not really." he grumbled as he took Aya from Add, the little girl patting his face with her little hands as if saying that she didn't want to be there.

"Why don't you go take a bath? Aya and I will make dinner."

Add nodded and went upstairs grabbing a change of clothes from his room, which he shared with Aya, on the way there. Sinking himself into the steamy water, the scientist let out a strangled sigh. Looking up at the ceiling of the bathroom a string of soft laughter escaped his lips. This progressively grew in volume into he lapsed into a fit, his hand balling up into a fist and he punched the nearest wall. After the episode ended her dragged himself out of the bath and bundled himself up in a towel. As he was walking over to his pile of clothes, he slipped and fell into a heap on the floor. He didn't feel like rising again so he stayed laying there on the cold floor, his body still very much wet. He fell deep into his thoughts for what he thought were only moments. However he found it had been longer than that when Luna appeared above him.

"Care to explain this?"

"Not at all." Add snapped as he got up off the ground with a little help from Luna. "I'll be right down when I finish getting dressed."

No further words were exchanged between then and Luna left the bath, presumably to go back to the kitchen area. Soon after Add has dressed himself he stopped by his room to retrieve a case on the way down to the kitchen. Entering said area he ruffled Aya's hair as he set the case down on the table. Going over to Luna, whose back was to him, he draped himself against the other's back.

"Have you stuck yourself together again Add?"

Add took a small step back so the other had room to turn and face him. His counterpart held a knife in his hand as he turned, casually pointing it at Add's throat.

"Luna there's a child present here." the scientist was hardly phased by these turn of events.

"I'm sure you can put yourself back together Add. You're a genius after all."

"Luna, if you're trying to rebel it isn't going to work." they had this dance every day so he was used to this by now.

Luna set the knife aside and his arm lashed out, grabbing Add by the collar and bringing him close.

"One day, Add. One day." He snarled.

"You're adorable when you're angry." Add thought aloud without realizing it, a soft blush crossed his face before he cleared his throat. "Let's eat."

The two settled themselves on the table to eat, Add fed Aya as well as himself with a small grin on his face.

"Oi"

"Hm?"

"What did Raven want from you today?"

"Hell if I know, the guy was being super sketchy."

"Do you want me to find out for you?"

"No, not quite yet."

When they had finished with their dinner, Add took out the mechanical contraptions and some tools from his case. Aya gave a giggle as she watched the scientist at work, while Luna went to clean up. Add lost focus on reality as he worked on one of his six diamond shaped contraptions, until he felt a squeeze on his shoulder.

"Luna?"

"Hn?"

"Why is it that I have to waste my time teaching these damned urchins? Besides you there's only one other student that I feel my time isn't being wasted on."

"Is it Elsword?" Luna drew a chair to sit besides his counterpart.

"How did you know?"

"Well you always stick him with me for projects and labs. Oh and we also share a table."

As Luna said these words an idea sparked in his mind and a grin began to slowly spread across his lips. Luna simply raised an eyebrow at Add as if questioning him.

"Raven mentioned Elsword, has he mentioned anything about his relationship with Raven?"

"I believe Elsword is close friends with Raven. What are you planning?"

"I want you to get a little play date with Elsword. Find out if he knows anything about what Raven wants from me."

"You want me to spend more time with the kid? That brat is noisy as hell."

"Luna please, Raven obviously has something against me. If he does anything, all I worked so hard for could be destroyed."

"And what if Elsword doesn't know anything?" Luna crossed his arms over his chest.

"Then get him to find out." Add waved off any further protests and picked Aya up from her seat.

"Luna." Add voice was softer this time.

"I'll return these to the lab and I'll wait for you there."

"Say goodnight to Luna, Aya." Add mumbled as he brought the little girl closer to Luna.

The silverette sat stoically as the little girl wrapped her little arms around his neck, giggling as she did so.

"Does she even speak?" Luna questioned as Add walked away, a trail of laughter from the scientist reached his ears as his counterpart disappeared through the doorway.

Luna gave a deep sight and pressed his thumb and index finger to the bridge of his nose. Rising to his feet he picked up the case, carefully stuffing the items back into it. Shaking his head at his situation Luna began on his way down to Add's private laboratory. The scientist's security measures to keep his precious work safe included a heavy duty metal double door entrance. A blood scanner was attached to the door and it only accepted Add or Luna's specific blood makeup as a key to enter. If anyone else's blood came in contact with the scanner, this would result in getting subdued by the high tech security system. All in all Luna thought the strict security measures Add kept were ridiculous.

"Honestly this guy, setting me up for a play date with some snot nosed brat while he's over there fussing over an orphan baby. One day for sure he'll pay for everything he's done to me." Luna grumbled to himself, even though it was a lie at the end.

Luna couldn't bring himself to mortally wound Add. He was here to be the scientist's bodyguard of sorts after all. The silverette curled his hand into a fist, his fingernails digging into his flesh and breaking the skin, using the blood that escaped from the minor cuts to get inside the lab. He exhaled deeply at the thought of the scientist. Their relationship was love and hate, even though they weren't that close to each other. He figured it was mostly due to the darkness that grew and exchanged between them. Add had constantly been devising plans to purge it, but nothing had been working. Tonight he said he had another plan up his sleeve, but Luna doubted this one would work. He just needed to keep Add at bay, just like the scientist was trying to do the same for him.

He set the case down on one of the counters as he waited for Add to come down. Luna settled himself the exam table in the middle of the room, he knew this place very well. After all he had spent most of his existence in this morbid room with its neatly organized instruments. Everything had a place in this room from small things like test tubes to chemicals and scalpels. On the far side of the room were a series of large cylindrical pods, all of which were empty.

"Are you here Luna?" Add's call snapped him out of his observations.

"Where else would I be?"

Add came into his line of sight as he fixed the coat he had donned, at that moment he looked like more of a doctor than a scientist. His face was carefully expressionless as he checked Luna's vitals and wrote things down on a clipboard. He asked his counterpart general questions of wellbeing. He instructed Luna to strip his shirt as he went to pull up a monitor next to the table. As he was in the process of sticking some electrodes to Luna's bare skin for further tests, a small drone flew into the room. It stopped before Add and projected a holographic image of a video feed. The scientist paused what he was doing to watch the video. Three figures snuck into the view of his camera by the gate leading to his home and he couldn't believe what he saw. It was Raven along with a blonde kid and…

"Is that Elsword? Honestly I expected better from him than this shit." it seemed that Add was getting angrier by the moment; such so that purple sparks of electricity began to light up around him.

"Cool it Sparky, zoom in on Elsword's face."

Add did cool down enough to follow that simple direction and what he found gave him more of a surprise.

"He's….afraid?"

"Raven probably dragged him into this. Elsword knows you live on campus, and face it who here isn't scared of you."

The drone was dismissed at Add's command and it disappeared to where it had come from. After the drone was gone the scientist began to pace around in the lab. Luna slid himself off the exam table and grabbed Add by the shoulders, stopping him from pacing. Annoyed at being stopped Add waited patiently for Luna to say or do something. His counterpart pulled him in close and Add wearily placed his forehead against the other's shoulder.

"Why don't you give me an order?" Luna said to Add, "You better hurry though."

As Add began to move away from his housemate, Luna quickly jabbed a finger against the pressure point on Add's neck. This successfully knocked the scientist out. He caught Add's limp body as he fell and picked him up, placing the scientist's body on the cot in the hidden backroom of the lab.

"Sorry Sparky, I hope you won't be too angry with me later." he said to the unconscious man.

Turning around he left the laboratory to go upstairs, checking on Aya to make sure she was safe and sleeping in Add's room. He went outside to take care of the pesky intruders, making sure to snag Elsword after he scared off the other two.
