Emil wasn't very happy. It was his first day of high school and he wasn't very excited to be a freshman. It just meant going to a larger school, which means more people he had to see and talk to. Had he been his cousin Tino, it would've been easy for him to make friends, but he was shy and reserved, and didn't like to talk to new people. The only people he will know in school are Lukas, his brother, Mathias, said brother's boyfriend, Tino, his cousin, and Berwald, his Tino's boyfriend. They were all two years older than him though, so he was going to be alone, and the prospect of being alone didn't appeal to him. That's what he had thought of the night before, and had fallen asleep thinking of it, and woke up thinking of it, which got him in a bad mood when he was woken up by Lukas. So he was in a grumpy mood all morning, and during the walk to school, and he was even grumpier when they went in school and Lukas immediately left to go look for Mathias and the others, leaving Emil alone in a large crowd of people older and larger than he was.
Needless to say, he was shoved around, being ignored or not being noticed by his schoolmates, until he was yanked to the side of the hallway, which wasn't as crowded as the middle, by an Asian boy around his age who seemed a bit taller than him, like most people were. He had dark, choppy hair that fell to his chin, mysterious, golden brown eyes, and slightly thicker-than-average eyebrows. Emil blushed lightly when he noticed that the mysterious boy was holding his hand, and quickly pulled it back.
"W-who are you?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at mystery boy, who gave him a blank look like his brother would have.
"I'm Leon." He said, holding his hand out for Emil to shake. He did so, but was still suspicious. Why did Leon just randomly pull him out of the middle of the hallway? As if he were a mind-reader, Leon answered his question.
"You looked like you needed help because you were, like, practically getting trampled out there, so I pulled you out." He said, picking up his bag which he must've set down when he pulled Emil out of the crowd. "Are you a freshman?" He asked, slinging his bag onto his back.
"Yeah." Emil nodded, not exactly sure where he was supposed to go, and Leon showed off his mind reading abilities again by taking Emil's arm and leading him in one direction.
"Come on. I'll show you the office, and they'll give you you're schedule." He said. Emil nodded, starting to wonder if Leon was a mind reader. He didn't notice where Leon was leading him, all he knew was that they were quickly weaving in and out of the crowd and soon reached their destination, even though they were walking the opposite way the crowd was going. "Here." He said when they stopped and had walked in.
"Thanks." The Icelander said, blushing lightly as he walked up to the secretary's desk and asked for his schedule. It was given to him and he walked back to the door, surprised to see Leon still there. "Why are you still here?" He asked, not sounding as harsh as he had wanted.
"Well, I, like, never got to know your name." He said in a monotone.
"Oh. Well, I'm Emil, and you can leave now." He said, glaring slightly at Leon, who smirked slightly at Emil.
"Hmmmm... I think I'll leave after I see your schedule." He said, holding his hand out for the paper in Emil's hand. Emil blushed lightly and shook his head.
"No. If I do you'll just stalk me." He said, frowning at Leon, who just smirked wider.
"And I'll just stalk you until you do." He said, his smirk growing wider. "Now, schedule please. The bell will ring in five minutes and I don't really want to be late on the first day of school." He said, smirking even wider when Emil, sighing in defeat, handed over the piece of paper which was his schedule. Leon's smirk turned into a grin of delight when he announced, "We, like, have all the same classes." He said, smiling at Emil as he handed the Icelandic boy's paper back. "That's, like, cool."
"No it's not." Emil snapped, glaring at him. "It just means you'll have more time to stalk me, which I won't let happen." He said, stomping off to his locker before Leon could catch up to him. Said Hong Konger shrugged his shoulders and laughed quietly when he saw that Emil was heading the wrong way. 'I'm guessing he, like, didn't go to the orientation last week.' He thought in his head, laughing quietly as he headed to his first class.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
It was ten minutes into class when Emil finally showed up, telling the teacher that he had gotten lost and ended up wandering around the school until someone who was kind enough to help a lost freshman told him the way to class. The teacher told him it was fine, then instructed him to sit down in an empty desk, and the only empty desk happened to be the one right next to Leon's desk, which made Leon smirk and Emil groan. Emil nodded and went to sit down, sending Leon a glare as he passed him. Leon returned it with a small smile, bordering shyness, which made Emil do a double take, but when he looked back at Leon, the smile was gone and the dark-haired boy was facing the front again, his face an unreadable mask.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
The two had made a telepathic agreement that they would walk together to their next classes, and the only reason Emil agreed to this was because he didn't want to be late to any more of his classes, and Leon agreed to it because he got to see more of Emil. This agreement continued on for the rest of the morning, until lunchtime. Emil had been hoping that he had lunch with his brother and cousin and their boyfriends, or that Leon had other friends he could bother, but that didn't seem probable. So far the only people he had seen Leon talk to was him, their teachers, and some other Asian kid who had hugged Leon from behind and began groping his chest, saying something about how Leon's "breasts" were his or something, and that made Emil blush, even though Leon didn't seem fazed by the action, and instead had shoved the boy away and continued walking.
They walked to the lunchroom together in silence, like most of their walks were. Emil soon figured out that Leon was more of the silent type and let others talk for him. Emil didn't mind, in fact, he preferred it. He wasn't much of a talker, but he didn't like people who talked too much, like Lukas's boyfriend. But the idiot makes Lukas happy, for some reason Emil cannot grasp, and that was fine with him. They got their lunches and Emil looked around for his "friends". He finds them sitting at a corner of the lunchroom, quite close to the exit, which would be good if one had to make a hasty retreat during a food fight or something in the cafeteria. Emil quickly headed over and sat down, and watched in slight horror as Leon sat down next to him. Everyone at the table turned to stare at Leon, who just sat there and stared back. Finally, Lukas turned to face Emil, glaring slightly.
"Emil, hvem er dette?" He asked his brother in Norwegian. (Emil, who is this?)
"Han er en fyr i mine klasser, og han har vært ganske mye min guide hele dagen." Emil answered in the same language, glaring slightly at Leon. (He's a guy in my classes, and he's been pretty much my guide all day.)
Lukas nodded and glanced over at Leon. "Hva heter han?" He asked. (What's his name?)
"Han heter Leon." Emil answered, noticing Leon look up slightly when he heard his name being said. (His name is Leon.)
"Liker du ham?" Lukas asked, eying Leon suspiciously. (Do you like him?)
Emil nearly spit out his drink in shock. "Nei! Han er irriterende og han har vært stalking meg hele dagen." He said, glaring at Leon, who just tried to look as innocent as he can. (No! He's annoying and he's been stalking me all day.) Leon cleared his throat and the two brothers turned to look at him.
"As much as I liked hearing you guys speak your magical fairy language, may I ask what you guys were, like, talking about?" He asked, smirking slightly when Emil glared at him even more when he referred to Norwegian being "fairy language."
"For your information, we were speaking Norwegian. Not fairy language." He said, taking an indignant sip of his drink.
Leon shrugged. "Well how would I, like, know that you were speaking Norwegian. I've never heard anyone speak it before." He said, rolling his eyes at Emil, who glared even more at him.
"Don't roll your eyes at me. It's rude." He said, frowning at Leon.
"Kay. Whatever." He replied, taking a bite out of his lunch and looking away, making Emil more aggravated.
"Don't 'whatever' me." He said, trying to look angry but instead looking cute.
"Okay mother." Leon answered, a smirk on his face. Emil was about to yell at him but then realized that everyone at their table was looking at him, which made him blush and look down, nibbling quietly on his lunch. After a few minutes, they all started talking to each other, occasionally talking to Leon also, which surprised Emil, but he kept quiet, not wanting to draw any more attention to himself.
Instead, he was studying Leon's face. His hair frames his pale-ish face, and he had big, golden brown eyes that were blank and held no emotion like his brother's, and on top of those eyes were dark bushy eyebrows. Emil laughed quietly at how thick Leon's eyebrows were, then blushed when Leon turned to face him with an incredulous look on his face. Emil frowned and looked down, but not before he caught a glimpse of a blush on Leon's cheeks, which made him more curious about Leon.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
The horrible first day of school finally ended, and once the bell rang Emil nearly sprinted out of the room, leaving Leon behind as he speed-walked to his locker. He didn't get lost this time, so he quickly put his stuff in his locker and grabbed his bookbag, glancing to the side then doing a double take when he saw Leon doing the same thing a few lockers away. 'Great. His locker is near mine.' He thought to himself, and blushed lightly when Leon looked up and sent him a small smile. Emil blushed even more when he realizes Leon smiled at him, not smirked, and he quickly looked away and shut his locker, walking to the exit doors and looking around for Lukas.
"Emil! Emil!" A familiar voice yelled and Emil turned and saw Mathias waving his arms above the crowd as he walked over to Emil, Lukas trailing close behind him. Emil walked over to them and stopped in front of them.
"What?" He asked, glaring slightly at Lukas's loud boyfriend.
"We have an after school activity, and I can't walk with you home." Lukas told Emil, looking guilty. "I'm sorry." He said, and Emil frowned also.
"Oh. Okay. I'll just walk home alone." He said, turning around and started to walk away.
Leon was with his brother and cousins in front of the school and he was looking around for a familiar silver-haired boy, and smiled slightlt when he saw him and he started walking to him, frowning slightly when he saw him walking with his head down and pouting cutely. Leon caught up and was walking next to him and smiled softly at Emil.
"Hey." He said quietly, blushing lightly. Emil looked up and was slightly surprised when he saw Leon walking next to him.
"What do you want now? Are you going to stalk me to my house now?" He asked, frowning slightly. Leon cringed slightly and looked at Emil sadly.
"Do you really think I'm a stalker?" He asked, furrowing his eyebrows. "If you wanted me to leave you alone, all you had to do was say so." He said, then Emil noticed that even though he had acted cold towards Leon, he never once asked him to leave him alone or to even stop stalking him. Emil blushed lightly and glared at Leon.
"Well I couldn't do that, since I would've gotten lost." He said, and Leon smirked slightly.
"So you're saying that you, like, need me?" He teased, smirking at Emil, who blushed even more and glared at him.
"N-no. I don't need you. I don't even want you around me. Leave me alone." He said harshly, glaring at Leon, who looked crestfallen and hurt.
"O-oh. Sorry. I'll leave you alone then." He said, stopping and turning around to go back to his family, leaving Emil feeling guilty and sad that he was alone again. He sighed and watched Leon leave, and pouted slightly when Leon didn't even look back. He turned and continued walking, hoping that Leon would return to his usual self the next day.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
The next few days at school were horrible for Emil. Leon wouldn't talk to him, Lukas, Mathias, Tino, and Berwald were always busy and rarely had time to talk to Emil, making him feel alone and insignificant. He was in gym class with Leon, changing back into his school clothes, trying not to look at Leon as he changed, but it seemed that Leon couldn't find his shirt so he stayed shirtless while he searched for it, making Emil blush each time he glanced over and saw his bare chest. After a few minutes, Leon sighed and walked over to Emil, who hurriedly pulled his shirt on and grabbed his stuff and was about to leave when Leon grabbed his arm.
"Have you, like, seen my shirt?" He asked, his eyes emotionless and bored looking. Emil blushed deeply and shook his head, trying to keep his eyes from looking at Leon's chest. Leon nodded and let go of Emil's arm and walked back to his gym locker, and Emil quickly rushed into the gym, his face still a deep firetruck red.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
After school that day, Emil walked around the front of the school with a mission. He was going to get Leon to forgive him for being an ass and become friends with him. It's not like he wanted to. He was just getting lonely, and having Leon as a friend was better than being alone. At least, that's what he told himself when he started feeling sad whenever Leon would ignore him in class and in the halls.
Leon was standing with his brother and cousins by the entrance of the school, trying to ignore the pain in his chest that came from ignoring Emil for too long. He had pretended to lose his shirt in gym just so he had an excuse to go to Emil and talk to him. He was hoping to hear the Icelander's voice, but his efforts were in vain. Suddenly, he was yanked back and away from his family, much like he had yanked Emil out of the crowd on the first day of school. He turned around and was surprised to find said Icelander standing there, staring at his feet with a small pout. Leon fought to keep a straight face as he looked at Emil with blank eyes. "Can I help you?" He asked. Emil looked up at him, and Leon was surprised to see that he looked sad, and he furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Emil.
"D-do you want to come over to my house later?" He asked quietly and shyly, looking back down at the ground. Leon stared at him with wide eyes, surprised with the question.
"W-what?" He asked, wondering if he'd gone deaf and was imagining things. Yeah that's probably what happened. And in five seconds Jackie Chan will jump out of the building and karate chop a tree, then the tree will turn into a narwhal and they will have a jousting match while Jackie is on his magical orange unicorn and... what? Leon frowned even more at that odd thought then shook his head slightly then returned his focus to Emil.
"I asked you if you want to come over to my house later." He repeated, blushing deeply and looking at the ground. Leon smiled softly and nodded.
"Yeah. Sure." Then he remembered he was supposed to be and, then added, "I had nothing to do anyway, and I guess being with you is better than being bored." He said, blushing lightly at Emil's lit up face.
"O-okay. Do you want to walk home with me or just come by later?" Emil asked. He was hoping to say he wanted to walk home with him, because he was worried that Leon wouldn't show up if he said he would come later. Luckily, Leon could read minds, so he said he would walk home with Emil. He smiled slightly and nodded as he started to walk.
Leon followed next to Emil, not really knowing what to say, since he was still shocked that Emil would invite him to his house.
"I'm... I'm sorry." Emil spoke up after a few minutes of walking in silence. He was blushing deeply and looking at the ground, much like he was when he asked Leon if he wanted to come over. Leon smiled softly at him and nodded.
"It's okay. Like, I wasn't really that mad." He said, blushing lightly as they walked.
"Yeah, but what I said was mean." Emil replied, furrowing his eyebrows.
"It's okay. I, like, understand why you said it. I just wish you weren't so harsh." He said, wincing slightly at the memory. Emil looked at Leon with a sheepish smile.
"Sorry. I didn't... I didn't really mean what I said." He told Leon, blushing lightly. Leon smiled at him and slid his arm into his.
"It's okay. Since we'll be, like, best friends now." He said, smiling slightly at Emil, who blushed deeply, but smiled back.
"Yeah. Best friends." He said, resting his head on Leon's shoulder as they walked.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Extended Ending:
Lukas and Yao watched as their little brothers walked him together, staring at the two in shock when they saw the normally emotionless and stoic (in Leon's case) boys smile at each other.
"What the heck?" They whispered at the same time.
°•°•°•°•°•°•°
Ta-da! Did ya like it? It was longer than the other one, probably because I couldn't figure out how to end it. So here's a super long one-shot. You're welcome. And if you are wondering, yes I did have to add the scene with shirtless Hong Kong. It was necessarry.
