Hi! Another chapter, Yay! It took longer than it should have for me to get this up. Too many other stresses in my life…

Anyway, the title for this Fanfic is from the song, Falls Apart by Thousand Foot Krutch (awesome band). The song title just sounded right and the lyrics kind of match with the story, so I figured I'd use it.

Disclaimer: I don't own TRC. Period.

I hope you enjoy!

Fay and Yuui arrived at school together, like always, and also like always, received stares and whispers from everyone.

"That's Yuui Flourite".

"He's only the prettiest guy in school and he is so cool and kind!"

"I hope he notices me! Look over here, over here!"

"Oh my gosh! Our eyes just met! I think I might faint!"

"Stupid jerk, stealing all the girls' hearts…"

"He's so pretty and just aaahhhhhh!!"

The twins usually tried to ignore all the comments from the crowd and act as if they couldn't hear any of it, however, today was especially annoying to Fay for some reason and she was about ready to go beat up on someone. Then, she spotted a person who immediately distracted her from her anger and she ran over to him, forgetting about everything else.

He was a tall boy, standing at the entrance of the school waiting for her. His black hair came out in spikes all over his head and a few loose strands of hair fell on his face as he stood leaning against the wall. He looked bored, the stolid and emotionless look on his face that never seemed to change…

"Kuro-tan!!"

…except for now. Now his face was a comical mixture of rage, surprise, and fear, as it always looked when she called him this nickname: rage at being called a stupid-sounding name, surprise at said stupid name – as if he didn't hear it several hundred times a day, and fear at the knowledge that his girlfriend had just arrived and he will now get no moment of peace until they both went home that evening.

Fay still remembered the day they first met. There had been rumors going around that a new kid was coming to their school. They said that he had been forced out of his old school and moved to their school, but no one knew the reason.

Everyone in homeroom was gossiping about the new kid when the teacher walked in practically dragging the black-haired teenager into the room and to the front of the class. Everyone went silent and the boy mumbled, "Kurogane, that's my name," and nothing more. He glared at the class.

Meanwhile, in the seats, Fay had fallen in love with the boy's angry demeanor. She raised her hand and said loudly "Mr. Brown, can Kuro-pon sit next to me, please?!" All attention in the room was turned to Fay in surprise.

"Um, sure, Fay…if that's what you want..." he said hesitantly.

"Yes, please. Come on Kuro-puu, come sit down!!"

Attention was directed back to the boy at the front of the room and the class was surprised to see the face of rage that is now so familiar to Fay. The class flinched in their seats, hearts pounding, fearing for their lives, but Fay just smiled at the boy, showing no indication of fear. She actually looked quite amused.

The boy sat down, huffing and puffing, and glared at the smiling girl beside him. "My name's Kurogane," he said forcefully, still glaring.

"Aw, you don't like the nicknames I gave you? I thought they were cute!" Fay said. "Anyway, I bet you didn't get nicknames in your old school. Why were you kicked out of there? I bet it's because you were a bad boy!" she teased.

Kurogane got even angrier. Fay continued to smile.

It continued like that for pretty much the entire day. Unfortunately for Kurogane, he had every class in common with Fay, so he never got a break. Finally, it was the end of the day, and Kurogane was relieved that he could finally leave the strange girl and have some peace. He smiled at the thought.

Unfortunately for him Fay saw the smile and said, "See, Kuro-puu! Didn't you have fun spending the entire day with me?" she teased. "We should do this again everyday! I know! How about you become my boyfriend! Then we can spend all the time we want together, we'll never have to be apart!" Kurogane froze in surprise at the randomness of the request and Fay seized the opportunity to give him a kiss and then run away towards home.

Kurogane may have thought she was kidding at first, but he soon learned that she was completely serious. He tried avoiding her, being mean to her, running away, ignoring her; nothing worked. She just kept finding him and punishing him with a playful punch in the arm (which doesn't feel very playful at all, coming from her; and hurts quite a bit more than one would expect from such a scrawny-looking girl).

Eventually, he gave up trying to get away from her and just surrendered to her and played along. At some point, he may have developed feelings for her… Maybe… And that's where they were today: a happy couple!

Except for one thing…

"Why hello, Kuro-sama!" Yuui said, smiling sarcastically, as he walked up to the two of them.

"Prince," Kurogane said just as sarcastically.

"Hey, guys, no fighting today, please," Fay pleaded. Whenever the two of them saw each other, they managed to start arguing, and Fay just didn't want an unpleasant encounter to encroach on her otherwise good day.

"Who's fighting? I was simply saying hello," Yuui told his sister calmly.

"Yeah, well, I know how it usually ends up."

"It's not my fault that your boyfriend reacts angrily when I am just being polite."

"What?! You're the one who's always all sarcastic! You hated me since the moment you met me!"

"Don't take it personally, Kuro-rin. I'd hate anyone who was going out with my sister." Yuui said, with the same calm smile he kept on his face the entire time, though he was wondering to himself how Kurogane could tell that he hated him.

With that, Kurogane tried to lunge for Yuui, angry at his attitude. "Stop!" yelled Fay as she pulled Kurogane back hard and she glared at her brother. "Enough, both of you! You're making a scene!" And indeed they were. If they didn't have the attention of everyone before, they sure had it now.

"Yuui, just go talk to some of your friends or something. Leave us alone for now." Fay said quietly without looking her brother in the eye. He knew she was upset with him; he just didn't like someone taking his sister away from him.

"Fine, fine. I'll go. But, don't you lay a hand on her, Kuro-tan!" The last remark earned a death glare from Fay and he chuckled and walked away.

"Ugh, Yuui can be so immature sometimes! I'm really sorry, for him," Fay said to Kurogane, who was about to say something when…

Beeeeeeeep!

"Oh, that's the bell! We're going to be late! Come on Kuro-rin!"

I hope the rest of the day goes better than this morning…Fay thought to herself as she ran into school and dragged her still angry boyfriend behind her.

A/N: yeah I know, basically another introduction chapter, giving some background. Kind of boring. I think the next chapter is when more stuff is going to happen! I'm so excited!

Please review!

And thank you reading and favoriting! That made me happy!
