Mika hated moving. He had packed up his stuff and moved across the country twice in the last four years. The first time was when Krul Tepes had adopted him and his friend, Akane. This time they moved because of a job offering his adoptive mother had decided was worth the long trip.
Mika loved Krul, but sometimes she really pissed him off.
He had hated her for a few months for separating him from the children when she adopted him. It hadn't helped that Yuu had moved away only a weeks prior. Akane coming with him had helped though. Eventually he'd gotten over his initial anger.
This time he wasn't really angry, just kind of annoyed. It wasn't like he had actually had any friends except for his adoptive sister at his last school, but car rides that lasted more than a few hours were just horrible. And getting adjusted to a new school would be even worse.
Akane didn't really seem to mind, though. She could make friends anywhere she went.
"Oh, come on Mika," Akane chided, putting her stuff in the locker which the woman who had showed them around the school had told them was assigned to her. "Can you at least try this time?"
Akane always told Mika to just try. Try getting along with people. Try not to argue with Mom so much. Try to act a bit more agreeable in public. She could be kind of bossy at times.
"Fine," he said, but didn't really mean it.
"No, seriously, Mika. Try to make at least friend other than me. God, I'd be content if you just participated in some friendly small talk for once." She insisted, closing her locker and starting down the hallway. He followed.
"I know, I know. Mom gave me the same speech yesterday." Mika grumbled.
"Oh, hey!" a voice called.
It was the woman who had showed them around earlier. She was holding some papers.
"Mika, Akane, I completely forgot to give you these forms!" she apologized, handing the papers to Akane.
"Thank you," Akane said sweetly.
From there, their conversation dissolved into boring smalltalk that Mika didn't bother paying attention to. His eyes wandered to the cafeteria they were standing next to.
That's when their eyes met. Him and the boy he couldn't get out of his head since they'd met. His soulmate, Yuu Hyakuya.
