The best sound is when I get a notification to my account, thanks for the support, but Add! why Labrys does not speak the Boston accent? a thousand excuses for that but the reason is that I do not know how to write the Boston accent, English is not my mother tongue, I also have some complications so that this story has many words.
Now an important fact, the name of the story is also the name of a song made by the band "The Oceanside", this song had a great influence for me to write this, my favorite music genre is alternative rock, that style music is everything to me.
Now I will clarify one last doubt, in this AU all are human, that includes Labrys and Aigis, but where is Minazuki? the truth is that I do not know whether to include him in the story or not.
Enjoy reading.
Chapter 2:Spinach Quiche
~3 hours before~
The sun had come out a little less than a few minutes ago, the birds sang and the city was illuminated by sunlight, a nice day in Yasogami, its inhabitants were leaving their homes to do their respective business.
The daily routine, Sho left the room and that unique place he called as his home putting the insurance so that no one entered his property, and immediately went to the Yasogami high school.
"Miss Margaret's class is about to start, according to my calculations I will arrive in about 11 minutes, it would be horrible if I will be late, I would hate to have to deal with the Miss perfection, ugh ... Labrys, just thinking about it irritates me a lot"
The truth is that Sho and Labrys had their differences, on the one hand, Labrys was a good friend and kind to everyone, always putting the rest as a priority which caused antipathy in the young man with crimson hair.
Sho knew that people are not what he appears to be, kept some distance between his classmates, the only one who could be considered his friend was Yu, of course Sho initially disagreed with the idea of having a friend but due to Yu's insistence, Sho had to accept the fact of talking to Yu.
Then there were Yu's friends, obviously Sho did not mix with those people, they were too animated for their taste but there was something in particular with one of them, Yosuke Hanamura, and since Sho is a good observer, he could swear that guy was very near Labrys, he would even believe that too much.
Although Sho thought it best not to talk to Labrys, since the start of the new school year, none of them crossed a word, they were complete strangers, Sho just watched from afar, Labrys always sat in the first place of the row overlooking the schoolyard.
Sho wanted to see through the true personality of the girl, had the feeling that that girl was the kind of person who sees less to others, always feeling superior to the rest underestimating everyone, and that was a mistake that Sho would never forgive .
"Of course not!" said the puzzled young man, so he thought that Labrys did everything for pride, when in fact he did not know how the president thought, but how to prove it to him, although ... a second, how did he forget? Sho could not show nothing to the girl.
Sho kept walking down the street towards Yasogami, when he turned a corner, saw a group of gang members he knew very well, Sho had humiliated them many times before and it was obvious to them that they were not in a good mood.
"Why me?" Sho asked clearly for himself, and that was precisely that was his question, how he had ended up in that situation? one of the gang members approached him along with one of his friends.
"Hey hey yo yo! who the fuck is this motherfucker? hey what's cracking homie? what do doing around here?"
"Me...?
"Yeah you motherfucker, you! I'm speaking with you, asshole!"
"What? what you say?"
"I'm talking to you motherfucker, who else you think I'm talking? homeboy"
"I'm getting bored of this...I"
"What?"
"I'ts none of your business!"
Sho hits the gang member with a headbutt, causing him to fall knocked to the ground and his friend to get scared and run away for help from his other friends.
"Oh shit man!"
"Run you little fuck! who the hell are you speaking to? and before you fucking ask! no I'm not a motherfucker!"
Shortly after, Sho was surrounded by gang members so he did the best he could do at that moment, using his combat skills, Sho nimbly attacks all his enemies, one by one they fell like cockroaches.
Sho has been a homeless orphan all his life, it was natural that at an early age he had to learn to survive on his own without the help of anyone, eventually he learned how to defend himself from the people who wanted to hurt him.
The young man with crimson hair neighbors the floor with all those gang members, it took him some time but he could get out of that fight, is normal in Sho to feel respected for the great skill of the fighter he possessed.
"Damn it! my favorite shirt is full of blood!" Sho sees how his shirt was ruined, then stared at the hand clock to realize that his classes would have started 13 minutes ago.
"No no no no no no!" Sho made a race directly towards Yasogami, if he used up all his energy he could still arrive on time or at least invent some excuse not to be punished.
~Current time~
Sho walked through the lonely halls of Yasogami, he knew that sooner or later, Labrys would find out that he would have a new pet, Sho clenched his fists at the thought of it but could not allow his emotions to dominate him in this.
In fact, he had worse things and still managed to solve them in the best way, the boy was very intelligent despite his bad reputation, he did not care at all to have to make certain sacrifices to prove that he was right.
He fixed her eyes on the door that led to her class, knocked on the door and waited a few seconds for Margaret to open the door, she asked him to tell him what happened and Sho told him what his punishment is from tomorrow.
"* Sigh * well that's a relief because you could have been expelled, Sho I know you're a good guy and I hope you do not disappoint me"
"Do not worry about that Miss Margaret, I will do my best to help our dear president" Sho told him with a smile, obviously feigned and dishonest.
"Okay, go back to your seat and I'll tell Labrys" Margaret called Labrys while Sho returned to his seat, when their paths crossed, Labrys felt a chill run down her back as she passed by Sho, she could swear a tiny smile on the boy's face but it was only a guess.
"Is it something Miss Margaret?" Labrys asked.
"If and precisely has to do with you" Margaret explains in detail what is the punishment that Sho received.
Labrys' expression changed to one of amazement but he had to remain calm in this situation, he had enough with her own problems, besides, she did not have the slightest idea how to give them a solution.
Now she had to spend time with that young man he did not know, no matter how noble, Labrys felt some insecurity having to be close to Sho, but she could not leave, she had to do the best for her companions, is was her obligation.
Labrys sighed heavily as she returned to her seat and the teacher was still giving her class explaining some things on the board, the girl was trying to pay attention to what Margaret said but she felt observed.
The girl could feel herself being devoured by that sharp, cold and calculating look, unconsciously looking back to see that indeed Sho was staring at her with his unusual poker face, as if he was studying her with his blue eyes.
Sho to see the look of Labrys decides to smile and make a gesture with his hand as a sign of friendship, Labrys still being nervous returns the gesture with her forced smile and then direct her attention to the blackboard.
"I do not think he's such a bad person" Labrys said, hesitating about those" stories "that the disciplinary committee used to tell him about the young man with the scar.
The class remained relatively normal until the recess bell rang causing relief for several students, Labrys' friends came to her to talk as they always did.
"Hey Labrys! what did Miss Margaret tell you?" Chie asks, curious about the matter.
"Yes! I'm also curious to know what he told you, is it a bad thing? can we help you with something?" Yosuke asks feeling anxiety inside.
"Now I can not talk much Yosuke ... I'm sorry! but I promise to tell you later, kay?" Labrys said with guilt, and it was no wonder, she knew was neglecting one of the few people who supported her with everything he had at his disposal.
"Oh I see, I guess I can wait" Yosuke said looking at her fixedly, the rest of the team wondered what happened to Labrys and she realized the situation she was in, being watched by the looks of her friends.
"I'll tell you later, now let's go to the cafeteria, I'm very hungry" Labrys said smiling, when the whole group was leaving the classroom, the red-eyed girl looked at where the position of Sho.
But surprise surprise, the position was empty and there was no sign of life of the redhead, at what moment had left? that guy was full of secrets and that's what I call the curiosity of Labrys, who is Sho Minazuki?.
Labrys opened the door quickly, and seeing once more that corridor to the cafeteria, could not contain her desire to smile, scream and jump like a five-year-old girl, but of course, for her friends she could not go unnoticed, Labrys could see that the group looked at her with surprise, so she forced herself to turn in seriousness.
On the way they ran into Teddie, Kanji and Rise, now that the group was complete they went to the dining room where there was a remarkable line of students hoping to have some food.
"How lucky ours! there are not many people and the line is not that long" Teddie said seeing how fast the line was moving.
"Better for us, so we can eat more"Kanji said holding Teddie's shoulder and shaking his friend's head with his knuckles causing both to laugh.
"Hear all ... I have very good news" said Rise happy without being able to contain a second more.
"What is it about?" Yukiko asked
"Next month I can have a presentation at school, everyone will be amazed when they hear me sing" Rise told her friends earning several positive comments.
The group was already choosing the foods they would eat, Labrys saw that she could eat today and saw what she was looking for, a delicious spinach quiche and that was the last one, Labrys take the opportunity to stretch her hand towards the plate.
Labrys was surprised to see another hand stretching and taking the plate before her, looked at the person responsible to see that it was Sho who had grabbed the plate she wanted to eat, he looked at it carefully before smiling.
"Sorry, the spinach quiche is my favorite" Sho turned around following his own path leaving Labrys baffled, the girl just sighed and decided that it would be best not to get in the way.
Labrys took a seat next to Yu and Rise, the friends talked about various topics but Labrys had her thoughts in her own world, he just looked at Sho, who was at the other end of the dining room, he was eating alone.
"And well, Labrys, what do you have to say?" Yukiko asked, gaining the attention of everyone present at the table. Labrys had kept the information for a long time and now she had to say it.
Then the girl told them everything Margaret had told her, several of them were stunned by the news, the calmest were Yu, Naoto and Yukiko but Yosuke did not take the news as something pleasant.
"WHAT?! why that Catastrophe will be your assistant for the whole year?" Yosuke asked with some anger.
"Yes, you know ... Mr. Igor wants Sho to be my assistant, I understand that they are surprised, I still can not digest this situation" Labrys said with her head down.
"And is it necessary to do that? I do not believe it Labrys ... definitely that's something I do not approve!"
"Come on, Yosuke! do not tell me you're jealous that Sho earned points to be closer to Labrys, after all she's very coveted in the Yasogami guys?"Chie said in a moke tone.
"Well ... yes, but ... it's different!"
"Yosuke .. you must understand that this is a decision that you can not erase, surely Labrys will be careful to be close to that boy" Naoto joined the conversation trying to calm Yosuke.
"For real?"
"Yes! I do not see why you get so excited" the comment made Yosuke calm down a bit, after eating their lunches, the group returns to their classes.
The day went smoothly, it was the time when all the students returned to their homes and Labrys said goodbye to her friends and went to her office in the student council room.
"Where can be Sho?, I have not seen him since the end of classes?"
It was a little less than 4 hours to go at night and there was still no sign of Sho from the last class, Labrys wondered where the boy had gotten, every time she tried to talk to him, he simply disappeared as a ghost.
Labrys took out her key to open the door of her office, when she was already inside, took out some papers that needed to be checked, the girl sat at her desk to order the documents that were needed for tomorrow, there was a lot of silence until suddenly ..
"So this will be our game room?" a sarcastic voice echoed all over the place, Labrys looked towards a shelf full of books and saw him standing there with his arms crossed and a questioning look, Labrys did not contain her surprise and shout.
"Woahhh! Sho! what are you doing here and how did you get in?" Labrys asks excited by the sudden appearance of the redhead.
"The window"
"How did you get in through the window if we are on the third floor?"
"I have my own methods"
After saying that, an uncomfortable silence was between them, Labrys did not know how far that guy could go, they just looked at each other without saying anything, then Labrys wanted to be the first to break that atmosphere full of mystery.
"I understand that from tomorrow you will help me in my work activities, that is part of your punishment"
"..."
"Ummm I will explain it to you this way, you will help me with the requests of work done by the students of the school, you will also help me with the documents and the organization of school events, it sounds a bit difficult, but I can help you so that you learn"
"Oh I see, it should feel good to have a new pet, right Miss perfection?" Sho changed his gaze to one full of rancor towards the girl, Labrys got nervous because she did not understand what was happening to Sho to have that sudden change.
"Something happens Sho? you want to talk to me about a specific topic or do you want ..."
"Don't give me that crap! do you honestly believe that I look like something to you? I'm not doing this of my own free will, let alone wanting to help you, so I suggest you be careful what you say! get it?"
"What is wrong with you!? I have not done anything wrong against you and I do not know why you are so upset! from my point of view you look like an immature brat who is angry that he was treated badly!"
"You still have a lot to learn, if you get in my way I'll crush you and then put you in a bucket and throw you into the sea, consider that a warning whether you like it or not"
"Listen to me, Sho, if you have a problem, just tell me and we'll solve it together"
"What if I have a problem? we gonna be friends now? you are not understanding me, I would never expect you to do it, so let's ignore this because tomorrow starts my nightmare with you" Sho started walking towards the exit ignoring everything around him.
"You know, your uniform is very peculiar, you wear a black jacket and a red tie instead of Yasogami's female uniform, I think you would look better with a red ribbon instead of that tie"
That comment took her out of place, Labrys could not say if that was a compliment or something else, when she regained all five senses, Sho was no longer in sight so she decided to do the same, closed her office with a key and then she walk to the exit.
When Labrys arrived at her house, Aigis received her with a warm hug, the little blonde was already preparing dinner to eat, Labrys sat on the couch sighing for the fatigue she felt.
"What's up sister?"
"A difficult day, it's everything"
"It is always like that, now I will go to give food to Snowy" said the little blonde as she took the bowl of food from her pet, a snow white dog, signs for the dog to go for something to eat and this dog barked.
For her part, Labrys decided that it would be best to take a bath to relax and think about what had been his day, take off all the clothes and enter the tub feeling the warmth of the water, could not help but smile at the nice relaxation.
"What happens to that boy! why have he hate me so much? I will have done something wrong without realizing it? I doubt it very much because I almost do not talk with Sho" Labrys thought about the encounter she had with Sho and the rest of that conversation so unusual.
What could she say? she had no idea what to do, Sho was a mystery in every sense of the word, Labrys did not know where he came from or who he is, much less understood his thoughts, Labrys was adrift staring at the ceiling.
She could not help remembering it, when she saw it for the first time, his mysterious gaze, his attentions, his half smile, his blue eyes, his masculine features, his voice so neutral, was enough, she could not put her thoughts in order.
They spent about ten or fifteen minutes, long enough for Labrys to come out of the bathroom wrapping her body in a towel and going up to her room, it did not take her five minutes to put on her pajamas and go down to dinner with Aigis.
"I made you a little hot chocolate, I know it's your favorite" Aigis extended her hand with a smile to her beloved older sister to deliver that glass of liquid inside, which the girl received gladly and gratefully.
"Thanks Aigis, it's just what I needed" she managed to say softly, she was very tired.
The sisters spent a while talking and enjoying the food that Aigis, despite being only 11 years old, had prepared for the enjoyment of both, then Labrys went to the kitchen to wash the dishes with Aigis.
"Good night sister, sweet dreams" says Aigis, who was at the door of her room.
"Good night Aigis, sleep well" Labrys wished her sister good night and went into her own room, she had lain on her bed thinking about her day, she let out a long sigh, if she wanted Sho to listen to her, then Labrys has the duty to prove who is the boss.
The next day in Yasogami, Sho was hungry and at lunchtime he was selecting the food he would put on his tray, he took out what he needed until he fixed his eyes on the last spinach quiche.
"How luck! I arrived just in time to have that delight in my hands" Sho smiled at the plate, reached out to reach it but another hand was faster and she could take the Quiche before Sho.
"Huh?" Sho looked at that hand until it reached its owner, it was Labrys who was staring at Sho,but now he wore a red ribbon under her neck, just as Sho had recommended.
"Sorry, the spinach Quiche... is my favorite" Labrys smiled at Sho and then went to the table where all her friends were waiting for her, when Sho saw her walking away, he could not help it and let out a small laugh.
"It's getting interesting, I've never met a bigger goody two-shoes" Sho said to then go to his table away from the other students.
A / N that was the first conversation between the protagonists, I know what they are thinking, why does Sho hate Labrys? everybody stay calm, that will be known in due time and now that I think about it, their relationship is not so different from what they have in Ultimax.
As if they did not know the Sho of my story? is SHO Minazuki Post-Ultimax/True Ending Ver, I hope I have clarified that doubt, do not worry about Minazuki, if it will appear in the story but only in Sho's past.
I want to especially thank Midnight49, Tower Knight and Zia Jordan for being Followers of this story, although I would appreciate it if you would leave me a comment to know how the story goes.
