Chapter 1: Teddie
Teddie had always found women attractive. It wasn't just their beautiful, sleek hair, their glistening eyes or even their wonderful figure. No, to Teddie, the greatest thing about the female population was getting to understand them.
Women lie about their feelings, talk about people behind each others backs and generally keep themselves enshrouded in mystery.
And to unravel that mystery, to indulge in each and every one of their flaws and perks, to be able to run your finger along everything they are embarrassed about and telling they are truly beautiful, and then to finally be able to sit back and spend old age with the person who you know and love the most-knowing that this is your lifes work. To be able to stand to the world and say that you, and you alone, have unravelled the entire woman.
Part of what lured him through this cause was his own lack of mystery- he is a shadow, he hides nothing. The world sees him. The world knows him. There is nothing left for him to hide- he is Teddie, the charmer (and to those within his little group of friends), the shadow extraordinaire.
He craves the truth, that absolute knowledge. To drown yourself in the things people hide away from you- that is Teddies largest vice.
The reason he is drawn-infatuated, even, with Naoto especially, is because she is the most mysterious, and to a few, one of the most beautiful.
She hides behind her own veil, an elegant detective prince to the world- but to a select few, she is more of a detective princess, hiding behind the veil which the world saw. One the outside, she was cool, calm, elegant, sophisticated- on the inside she is a child who grew up too fast, with so many secrets hidden.
Teddie wanted more.
She was a fine pearl, jaded with dirt caused by years gone by, within an elegant seashell, and he so dearly desired to behold that pearl in all of his glory.
If his life was a book, it would be titled The unravelling of the pearl.
Because that is exactly what he intends to do.

Not the most common of pairings, I know.
I'll be on holiday for the next two weeks, so I probably won't be able to write all that much.
Next chapter: Naoto.
