Upon Kou's insistence and nagging, Akira now stayed at his house. Now that the Council was aware of Akira's existence, Kou didn't want Akira out of sight too often. Akira grudgingly agreed to this, though he thought he was fine on his own.
He didn't go straight to school either. It was tempting to go though; Kou-nii was really starting to get on annoying. It was like he was a fragile baby who couldn't take care of himself.
So, after two days of stating at Kou-nii's place, AKira decided to go to school. He left the house just as Kou-nii could be heard walking down the stairs of his house. He was glad that he had made it out of the house without Kou-nii ragging on him.
Akira walked to school, holding his bag over his shoulder. It was more comfy that way, and it usually kept people away. He was the type of person who was preferred to be alone most of the time, thoguh he didn't mind spending time with his friends. As he entered the school, he noticed that people were staring at him.
'What's their problem?' He thought to himself. Then whispers started going around, but Akira ignored them. This was getting annoying. 'Maybe I should've stayed at home...' He thought to himself again. He felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you by any chance Nikaidou Akira?" The voice asked. Akira turned around to see who it was. He was a tall boy -taller than Akira- with long black hair that went down to his waist. He had pale skin and piercing midnight blue eyes.
"What do you want?" Akira asked bluntly.
The boy smirked before putting his long arms around Akira and bringing him closer. Akira went from annoyed to shocked as he was pulled in by the older male's arms. He then felt a pair of lips softly on his. His eyes opened even wider than they already were.
Akira blinked, trying to process what just happened. Then, Akira said the first thing that came to mind. "You know, you still haven't told me what you wanted." He bluntly stated again. Then he heard the whispers that were going around.
The boy only smirked before Akira felt someone grasp his wrist. He was then pulled out of the older boy's grip. "Are you alright, AKira?" The voice asked, worried. He recongnized the voice.
"I'm fine, Kengo," He said, pulling his wrist out if Kengo's grip. AKira turned his head to see the boy who had just kissed him. "Che," he said, before walking towards the scjhool and past the blue-haired boy.
"What is it Akira?" Kengo asked.
Akira stopped walking and looked over his shoulder to face the watching crowd with a bored look. "I really should've stayed home. The people in this school are too weird." And with that, he left the group staring at him as he headed to the roof to sleep.
It was warm outside, with the sun shining and the sky a pretty shade of blue. Akira was once again sleeping on the roof. Well, more like dozing. He was in that state where you're dozing and just about to dream, but not. The only thing that kept him in that state was thinking about what the black-haired boy did to him. He absent-mindedly put his fingers to his lips. 'What was that...' He asked himself. 'Why did he go and do that? Hell, I don't even know him.' He was trying to figure out who the boy was. 'Maybe he's from the Land of Rei, here to pick me up...' Akira thought before he finally fell asleep.
Akira slwpt dreamlessly for the first time in a few days. The memories if Ryuko were leaking through in his dreams, so he was always tired when he woke up. He slept with a peaceful expression, glad to be rid of the dreams, if only for now.
As Aira slept on, he was unaware of the people watching him. They didn't attempt to go near him, but watched as he slept.
"So this is the King." The one in the middle, with long blond hair, stated.
"Yes, he is," The one on the left, with waist long black hair, replied.
"It'll be interesting to see what he turns out to be," The one on the right, with short black hair, commented.
"Yes, it shall. Though you already have made your entrance, haven't you, Shigeru?" The blond asked.
"Yes, I have. Is there something you find wrong with that, Aoi?" Shigeru asked.
"No, though the other students may. You appear to have a fan club, Shigeru." Aoi returned.
"Like you don't, Aoi?" The one on the right teased.
"You're one to talk, Koushirou," Aoi replied.
"He's right," Shigeru agred. "You have the biggest one out of the three of us, you know." This started a quarel among the three, though it was a relatively quiet one.
Akira heard everything that was said among the three boys. After all the sleepless nights he went through, he, though well at concealing his feelings when he wanted to, was getting irritated. Though the three didn't realize it, they were gradually getting louder and more obnoxious. So Akira snapped.
"Shut up," He commanded, Ryuko's voice leaking through. The three snapped their eyes to Akira.
Akira opened his eyes to show the annoyance and irritation they were causing. "You three are acting foolishly." He told them. "If, which you should have been aware of, I was sleeping. I don't want to put up with your pointless banter. Either shut up or leave." Akira finished before closing his eyes, trying to go back to sleep again.
The three just stared at him for a while. They said no more as they watched the King fall back into a dreamless sleep. They were thinking about his reaction. The three of them thought of this together: we need to be cautious of the King.
What do you think? I believed this to be a ratehr interesting chapter to write.
