Chapter Two
9S grabbed all of his books and shoved them in his schoolbag before rushing out the door in hopes of not being late to his next class. As he ran through the door, he could he hear the monotone voice of the girl he had met earlier calling for him. He stopped in an attempt to wait for her, but the flood of exiting students pushed him forward despite his efforts. Instead, he was pushed so far forward, that he unwillingly bumped into a tall and lean obstacle.
"O-oh, ga-gah! Nnhh-Buhhhhyaaa!" 9S stopped and rubbed the back of his head before looking up angrily up at the thing that had so rudely stopped his motion.
When he looked up, he did not expect to make eye contact with aggressive crimson orbs. His heart started pounding once more, this time slightly more out of control. There was a sense of danger and complete mystery with those eyes.
The crimson eyes belonged to a hunky clearly muscly man, roughly six foot two, with short white hair that stuck out randomly in different directions. He was so ripped.
9S caught himself staring into those beautiful blood red pooling orbs, and he didn't even notice that his hands were resting softly on the rippling washboard that was this man's abdomen.
"Ga-gah!" He shouted, taking his hands off of the merchandise.
"What are you doing?" The guy's voice asked playfully, giving him a slight smirk.
"I-I-I-I was just.." 9S sputtered out, his face burning red.
"No," He said in a quieter voice. "You don't have to move them." He reached forward and grabbed 9S by the wrists and pulled them back onto his toned mountainous mid-section.
9S felt like the world had stopped completely, his heart being heard loudly in his own ears. 'I really hope he cannot hear my heart beating so loudly right now,' he thought to himself.
The man leaned forward, close to 9S's face, inches apart. He smelled like apples. A larger smirk slid onto his mouth as he spoke softly to him, "I can hear your heart beating really loud right now. Can you hear mine?"
9S nearly died right there, 'Dammit!' He cursed to himself.
"What the hell is happening right now?" Another man's voice spoke, disrupting the time stopping moment taking place.
The man with the red eyes and tasty abs, pulled away from 9S to greet the new voice, "Hey, brother, I was just, uh-"
"HA! GAYYY!" A female voice could be heard shouting about them in the crowd of people getting pushed around them in the hallway.
"Shut up, Jackass!" Sexy abs yelled at the disembodied female voice in the crowd.
"LOSER!" It shouted back.
"Okay, but really, like, what is happening right now?" The one who was addressed as brother asked.
"Uh, Adam, I was just meeting this new kid." He gestured to 9S, with a hand.
It was then that 9S took the time to notice the differences between the two, seemingly twin, brothers.
The one that was just called Adam was slightly shorter, with waist long white hair with thick black rimmed glasses framing his face, added a level of clear intelligence and mystery to him. His deep red eyes seemed to reflect along the surface of the lenses. Looking into those eyes caused a sensation similar to both intimidation, and also, at the same time, arousal. His uniform was well put together, almost like exactly how you expect to see it in a catalog. It seems like he was he could be on the cover of the dress code manual. And also, at the top of the best test results list that they post on the corkboard in the hallway.
On the other hand, we have washboard man. He was taller by a few inches, though that didn't matter because almost everyone towered over little 9S, than his brother. His hair was cut shorter, even shorter than 9S's hair, and it was unkempt. It was as cut as his body was. The uniform that laid over his toned bod was in disarray, and 9S couldn't tell if it was because it was just his personality to not keep it straight, or there wasn't a uniform in a size that would properly fit over all those godly muscles.
The brothers seemed to have a stark contrast between them, though, through their body language, 9S could tell they were close.
"Hi, I'm 9S! Nice to meet you!" 9S introduced himself to both boys.
Muscles game him a charming grin, and repeated the gesture, "I'm Eve. This is my grumpy brother, Adam."
Adam said nothing, but crossed his arms and pushed up his glasses, giving 9S an up and down.
Something about his gaze was alarming to 9S. It felt like he wasn't just looking him up and down, but rather, that he was touching him up and down. Touching him...with his eyes.
'What a powerful stare…' 9S thought to himself, feeling the heat in his body rise to his ears.
"There you are!" A fimilar voice chimed in, putting a hand on 9S's shoulder, breaking the spell this glasses man had him under. "I told you to wait and you didn't. How can one person be so goddamn stupid?"
9S smiled and turned to the voice speaking to him. It was that girl from early. She was pretty nice. "Hey!" He spoke up. "I tried to wait, but I got pushed into these two," He motioned to Adam and Eve.
The girls blue orbs made their way from 9S to both of the boys in front of him. Her expression changed to one of anger.
"What the hell are you doing with these boys? They are bad news, 9S." She spoke harshly.
"Wow, 2B, that hurts me." Eve said, putting a hand on his perfectly sculpted pec, pretending to very upset.
"Well, your existence hurts me." 2B stated coldly, grabbing 9S by the arm and yanking him behind her.
"Wow, that was really mean," 9S put a hand on 2B's shoulder, a little concerned.
"Scum like you deserve to be treated poorly." Her voice was like a knife in the air.
"I don't think my brother and I want to sit around and listen to a little albino mole rat in stripper heels insult us." Adam said plainly, giving a slight smirk at the end of his sentence.
"Albino? That doesn't make sense. You are the losers with the red eyes and white hair. If anyone is an albino, it's you weird brother-cons." 2B spit her words and the gorgeous man with an icy gaze.
"BROTHER CON!?" Eve yelled out in surprise. "WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN? I AM NOT AGAINST MY BROTHER. In fact," he continued. "I like my brother."
"You are a dumbass." 2B pointed at Eve, turning around on her heels and grabbing 9S tighter.
"CHICKEN!" Eve shouted at her.
This caused 2B to stop mid-stride, letting go of 9S and tightening her fists.
"2B. Are you okay?" 9S asked weakly, unsure of what was happening or why.
"I'm fine, I just am going to punch these lame gay kids in the face." She said under her breath.
"That was kind of homophobic and weird, 2B. Maybe you shouldn't say stuff like that…" A small voice spoke up from beside them.
9S turned his head quickly and saw a small girl with two short braids and a little white flower in her hair next to 2B. 2B seemed to change demeanor immediately after seeing the small girl.
"6O, what are doing here? You're supposed to be in horticulture club…" Her voice was filled with a softness that 9S has yet to have heard from her.
"I was supposed to be, but then I remembered that I had forgotten to give you this note this morning, and I wanted to give it to you between classes while I could!" She smiled innocently, and held out a folded piece of pink paper with flowers drawn on the outside.
2B did something a little strange. Looking at the note, a smile spread across her lips, taking the note in her hand and putting it in her bag. "I will treasure it always."
"Thanks, 2B! You always know what to say to make my day better." She smiled back in a warm way.
"What's wrong with your day?" 9S asked, causing the girl to jump.
"Oh! 9S, I didn't expect you to be back so soon! I was just about to send a flower arrangement to your house!" She smiled. "I'm sorry about your accident…"
"Its okay. It's not your fault that I had an accident…" He rubbed the back of his head. "I'm sorry but, I don't have any of my memories back yet, so I don't know who you are."
"That's okay. We weren't really all too close, so it's not a big loss. 2B was really upset, tho-" She stopped mid-sentence noticing that a freezing cold glare was being thrown at the poor little ray of sunshine. "I MEAN! 2B didn't care at all. No way. She didn't even remember you were in the hospital at all!"
Another icy glare shot towards the girl.
"I MEAN, SHE JUST-" After one more glare, she gave up. "It doesn't matter, I guess. Anyways, I'll see you guys later." She smiled as she waved, running away.
An awkward moment of silence took over, as the four people who were standing in the middle of the hallway tried to regain a grasp on the conversation.
"So...Are you gonna beat us now?" Eve asked, putting a hand on his chiseled v-shaped hip.
"You're both lucky 6O showed up." She pointed at them and began to walk away, grabbing onto 9S's wrist, tugging him along with her.
"U-uh, see you guys!" He waved to the two biblical demi-god brothers as the shrank in size behind him.
